* * *

‘Is this a dream? now···.’

Mark Miller sat blankly for a while after waking up. This is because he found a child lying comfortably next to him.

Why is he here?

A boy sleeping with his body curled up.

It was the Asian kid I saw on the plane.

‘There are other survivors besides me? however···.’

This place was not close to the beach. In that case, he couldn’t see that this child had been pushed by the waves and come this far like he did.

‘Then did you come to see me in person?’

But does that make sense? It’s not like I have GPS or anything like that on my body.

“······.”

Mark Miller, who was rummaging through his pockets, found out again that he, of course, did not have a GPS.

The events from the plane crash until now made absolutely no sense. No, it seemed like only strange things like that were happening. It’s like a ghost crying. Or maybe I’m possessed by a ghost.

Even while Mark Miller was in the midst of worrying, the child was breathing easily.

“Whoa.”

In any case, I am grateful. It was fortunate that there was at least one other person who survived.

There.

A plane crash is a big event.

But this child and I survived? If so, it is correct to assume that there are other survivors as well.

Big accident.

Many survivors.

It will receive greater attention than an ordinary accident, and corresponding rescue efforts will be carried out on a large scale.

‘what···. anyway···.’

Meeting this child seemed like a good thing.

Mark Miller felt the day getting brighter and felt the need to wake his child.

The positive thoughts end here. From now on, we must prepare for all other situations.

What is urgent right now is water. I see that my thirst is getting worse, so if I don’t find water within today, it could be dangerous.

Miller tapped the child on the shoulder.

After tossing and turning several times, the child woke up and rubbed his eyes and looked around. Then, when she spots Mark Miller, she jumps up in surprise.

The child’s surprised bunny eyes are quite impressive.

Miller smiled brightly at the child who blinked several times and looked at him, telling him to calm down.

“hi. “Are you feeling okay?”

“······.”

and.

I realized that there were a few more hurdles left to communicate with my child.

“@#$%^. *#$@.”

“······.”

“&%. $@@! ^*&? #$@!”

“uh···.”

The language the child spoke was not English.

* * *

There was a moment of confusion.

Mark Miller tried to talk to the child as calmly as possible.

“We need to find water. Have you ever seen anything? Also, I’m not sure if this is an island or a coastline. “Do you happen to know?”

“What?”

“um… Water. Water.”

“ah! Mul? Water.”

“Yes. “Water is very important.”

“Very joong yo. “I understand.”

“So, we need to go find water.”

“Yes sir.”

A child nodding his head innocently.

Fortunately, he seemed to understand basic English.

Mark Miller talked to the boy for a while afterwards.

The child’s name is Han Seo-jin.

Student of Korean nationality.

Age is 13 or 12. Judging by the moment she hesitated when answering, I thought her birthday might have been recent.

Seojin was a pretty smart kid.

Seojin seemed to have missed something important while talking with Miller, so he took out his belongings and showed them to him.

Flashlights, notebooks, pens, handkerchiefs, torn buttons, airplane tickets, etc. They even look like they are disappointed that they don’t have much of the tools necessary for survival.

On the other hand, I was curious about what Miller had and eagerly asked him questions.

Mark Miller had to show his pockets with a sad expression to show that he didn’t have much. Crumpled airline tickets and handkerchiefs. That’s all. As expected, Seojin was disappointed.

Little things that don’t matter.

However, he was a child who knew that these actions were important in order to survive here.

Moreover, despite his lack of English skills, Seojin was able to express himself clearly using only the English words and body language he knew.

On the other hand, since Mark Miller could not speak a word of Korean, there were often situations where he was dragged into conversations led by Seojin.

Seojin told quite a few stories, but the most impressive one was the story about visiting Mark Miller yesterday.

Seojin also seemed to have arrived at this sandy beach after being swept away by the waves after the plane crash. However, unlike Miller, Seojin is said to have found the highest place and climbed up as soon as he came to his senses.

It seems that he thought it was an essential task to inspect the surrounding terrain and request rescue.

‘Yesterday, I was so anxious that I couldn’t do anything…’

According to Seojin, this is a fairly large island. But there were no traces of people at all.

Seojin, who was observing the island from a high place until the sun set, discovered something.

“That was me?”

Seojin nodded.

“But why didn’t you wake me up yesterday?”

“that···.”

It’s because I looked sick. He held his ribs and groaned for a long time. really···. I don’t know who is worried about whom.

Seojin seemed quite lost even getting to where Mark Miller was. He said he almost lost his way several times because the terrain was unfamiliar to him.

but.

‘What’s important is that I found it in the end.’

When in trouble, seek out an adult and ask for help.

Seojin put those words into practice.

‘If I were that age, would I have been able to do that?’

well. I think it would have been difficult.

I couldn’t ask Seojin in detail, but it seemed like the place he climbed was quite high.

The child managed to get up there and watched the island for hours.

And in the end, we even found someone and moved in the right direction.

‘This alone is amazing.’

It wasn’t even just that.

Seojin said he heard the sound of water flowing on his way there and offered to guide them there.

“Trust me!”

Like that.

In a shipwreck situation with only two people left on a deserted island.

In this uncertain situation where I don’t know if I can survive or not.

I thought it was truly amazing that a 12-year-old child could act so bravely.

‘I really can’t believe it.’

Mark Miller joked lightly about this proud kid.

“Have you been to this island a few times?”

“yes?”

“Almost like Tom Hanks.”

“···?”

“You don’t know Tom Hanks? Cast away. Wilson?”

“I’m not Wilson. “I’m Seojin.”

“······.”

“Sir. I’m···.”

“okay. You are Seojin. letterweight.”

Seojin nodded confidently, as if he had received a satisfactory answer.

‘Don’t you know Cast Away?’

Mark Miller once again realized that there was a nearly 30-year age difference between him and Seojin.

“Sir?”

“never mind. Let’s keep going.”

Mark Miller continued walking along Seojin. As Seojin said, as we went far into the island, a small stream appeared.

Miller was so thirsty that he drank the water with his hand without even thinking about it. Seojin also followed Miller’s actions.

I felt better as my thirst disappeared. My body became lighter, and I could see things around me clearly.

Using our improved condition as a weapon, we walked further along the stream.

And then.

“wow!”

“okay. Exclamations are universal. I was surprised too. “I can’t believe there is a place like this.”

A waterfall that I had never imagined would be here appeared.

A waterfall quietly hidden in a dense jungle. The refreshing sound of falling water. And the clear puddle of water below it showed the mystery of nature.

If this situation had not been a ‘distress’, it would have been believable to say that they were on vacation at a resort in nature.

‘I guess I have some free time for a little while.’

I definitely left an SOS signal before coming here anyway. It wasn’t like clumsily carving words into the sand. Use the surrounding tree branches and stones to make it visible as clearly as possible. The signal was left large enough to be visible even from a helicopter.

If someone were to spot the signal, they wouldn’t just pass it by.

‘then.’

It felt like there was just a moment to catch my breath.

“Seojin. “Isn’t it too uncomfortable?”

“yes?”

“We all fell into the sea. But I couldn’t even take a bath. “I feel like I’m going to die right now.”

Mark Miller took off his top before hearing Seojin’s answer. I also took off my pants. Then he dived into the waterfall pond without any hesitation.

The sound of lapping water lingers in my ears. I noticed fish the size of fingers, who had been around for some time, running away in a hurry. The shape of the gravel beneath the deep bottom was clearly visible.

“Whoa!”

As I came out of the water, Seojin’s appearance caught my eye. She didn’t know she would jump into the water so boldly. When I saw her in the morning, she had those rabbit eyes.

“Come on! Boy!”

Mark Miller called Seo Jin in simple English. Seojin thought for a moment, but then she quickly took off her top. He’s still a man though.

Then.

A pretty cool dive attempt. Like trying to shake something off. More boldly than Mark Miller.

Seojin, who had been diving deep under the water, quickly came up to the surface.

“and!”

“It’s good?”

“So much!”

I make an innocent smile in case anyone thinks I’m not a child.

We swam, and when we were thirsty, we drank water, and when we got tired, we went to land and dried ourselves.

It’s been one day since I arrived on the uninhabited island.

We survived.
