“what? When the plane crashed, you must have been…”

“Me? Humming?”

“······.”

Seojin blinks his eyes blankly.

Mark Miller’s mind became more and more complicated.

Miller still had vivid memories of that time.

Screams, smoke, fire, fear, despair.

Seojin’s humming that rang out in a dramatic situation.

I remember feeling relieved for a moment after hearing that humming.

It was all clearly in my mind.

Miller asked Seojin the same question again, just in case. But the answer that came back was always the same.

“Honestly, it was a terrible situation. At that time, all I could do was close my eyes. “It wasn’t a situation where I could do anything else.”

“Did you happen to play the song on MP3?”

“I’ve never done that.”

“Or you saw someone humming around you.”

“hmm···.”

Seojin makes a very serious expression. I seem to remember that time. But still. Seojin shook his head.

‘Then what about that hum…’

It was such a clear memory that I never doubted it until now.

So what was that?

hallucination? Auditory hallucinations?

As the situation was a situation, there was a distortion in my memory?

‘I guess this would make more sense…’

This can happen in situations of extreme stress.

I suddenly remembered seeing a documentary like this before.

Seojin also seems to have become curious and asks questions.

“But humming? “You mean I sang a song or something?”

“I certainly heard that.”

“It’s pretty strange. “But what song was it?”

“It was definitely a familiar song, but well… “I don’t remember.”

“I heard your memories were clear back then?”

“So, it’s amazing. It’s clear, but I can’t remember. “It’s not some sort of paradox.”

“hmm···.”

Miller thought about it for a while longer and then told Seojin about the trivial conclusion he had come to.

“just···. I guess I was shocked at the time. Is this called a dissociative disorder? Something like that.”

“disrespect···. I beg your pardon?”

“Dissociative disorder. It’s like a human’s defensive instinct. Normal people want to forget scary things, right? So, when such a scary memory arises, the brain gets rid of it on its own. “I heard that there are cases where it is completely distorted.”

“hmm···. “It’s a little difficult.”

Seojin plays with his chin for a while.

Miller chuckled and continued speaking.

“There is no need to understand. I just said something strange. I guess the plane crash was quite a shock to me. Well, who wouldn’t say that?”

A slightly awkward conclusion.

It was uncomfortable, but I could understand it.

however.

Even though he had organized his thoughts, Mark Miller’s headache was getting worse.

It’s as if a little dwarf has come into my head and is doing construction. At least hit a hammer. I felt like I was going to lose consciousness.

Before I knew it, it became dark before my eyes and I couldn’t see Seojin clearly.

It was barely possible to see the human form.

At that time, I heard Seojin calling.

“@#$@#! #@$@!”

“#$^! #$@&!”

“&(#¥_!”

ah···.

Now that I think about it, I remember the first time I met Seojin.

Even back then, it definitely sounded like that. Seojin must be speaking Korean now. When people are embarrassed, wouldn’t they speak their native language first? But why is he embarrassed?

Miller slowly closed his eyes, feeling an inexplicable drowsiness wash over him.

Then I fell into a slightly deep sleep.

* * *

dream?

Miller knew at once that he was in a dream.

This is because I felt a very unusual sense of discomfort.

No one paid Miller any attention as he walked along the street. He didn’t even look at me and even if I bumped into him, he just ignored me and passed by. Nevertheless, there is a dream-like haziness.

in short···.

‘Lucid dream?’

But I had no idea where this place was.

The huge ‘L’ shaped building caught my eye, but I had no memories of ever coming here.

Mark Miller unintentionally entered the ‘L’ shaped building. You can see people bustling there.

everyone. There were so many different people gathered together.

Miller walked along the shiny marble floor for a while. There was a huge fountain, and a piano was placed right next to it.

Mark Miller was slightly impressed when he saw that.

‘How important is humidity management for the piano? Tsk. ‘I don’t even know that.’

Anyway, I don’t see proper facilities anywhere.

Miller took a seat on a chair a good distance away from the fountain. And he stared at the piano.

The fact that there were so many people and the piano was in the center of them meant that the performance was about to start. Since Miller was here, he wanted to see the performance.

But for some reason, the performer did not appear.

‘Is the performance really over?’

Those concerns are temporary.

It was hard to see because it was covered by the grand piano lid, but I caught a glimpse of the player adjusting his chair.

Then.

As if to tell us to feel at ease from now on, the first notes of a beautiful piano began to echo throughout the first floor.

* * *

“mister!”

“······.”

“Are you finally coming to your senses? ah! Would you like some water first?”

“······.”

Why do sweet dreams always break in the middle?

Miller forced himself to stand up and took the water bottle handed to him by Seojin. A water bottle made from leftover coconut fruit. It’s a surprisingly useful item.

Miller took a gulp of water. Seojin informed me of the approximate situation.

“Uncle, do you know that you’ve been unconscious for five days now?”

‘5 days? ‘Is it that bad?’

“I thought only a few hours had passed.”

“It’s exactly 5 days. 5 days. And do you know how surprised I was when he suddenly collapsed while talking? “I must have worked so hard to carry you home.”

“you? “You carried me on your back?”

“sure. Or did a turtle come and take you away?”

“······.”

“I had no idea that the person who fainted was so heavy. and. “I thought they were moving some kind of stone statue.”

They chatter and chatter a lot.

But while I was unconscious for that long, Seo-jin didn’t even look downcast.

The last time I passed out while looking for an acoustic guitar case, I cried so hard that my eyes became sore.

And he even carried me on his back. That would never have been an easy task.

Miller clearly looked at Curlin and the growing Seojin.

‘Until now, I’ve only seen you as a child.’

I didn’t think I could do that in the future.

“I thought you would wake up though. You said that. “People don’t die easily.”

“okay.”

I feel reassured for no reason.

Miller ate the meal Seojin prepared.

Dried grilled fish and clam soup. It was seasoned well so it was still edible.

There was a brief incident, but we returned to our daily lives.

We did activities to survive every day.

For a little fun, one person taught and the other received instruction.

And one more thing happened here.

In addition to passively waiting for the rescue team, we need to actively escape from here.

Started making boats out of wood.

* * *

Two years since then.

Time passed so quickly.

If you count from the time of the plane crash, more than three years have passed.

The rescue team couldn’t even see the nose. Not even the common fishing boats were visible. No yachts, container ships or any other ships passed through this place.

We had to spend an extremely long time on this uninhabited island.

‘There’s not much left now.’

Miller began looking around the house for tools. He left it here somewhere. I can’t see well. Then, the fake piano that Seojin was practicing caught my eye. She seemed to have practiced so much that the wood seemed to shine.

After searching the house for a while, Miller finally found a wooden plank. He walked straight to the work area where boats were being built.

There were cut down trees all over the island. The numerous tree stumps seemed to tell of the past time.

At first, it took several days just to cut down one tree like that.

Processing wood with only a stone knife on a deserted island without any special tools was an extremely difficult and arduous task.

‘what···. Still, time solves everything.’

As I was walking and thinking about various things, I heard the sound of a guitar coming from somewhere. The more I walked, the louder the sound got.

‘It’s a new melody again.’

Recently, the variety of songs has increased significantly. From self-composed songs to existing famous songs. Now, it seemed like not even a decent composer would be able to give that guy a business card.

Where Miller arrived, there was a boat small enough for two or three adult men. A wooden boat with a hollow shape.

The shape, made by putting together without nails, even looked quite plausible.

Miller shouted loudly in that direction.

“Who is playing around?”

After a while.

An answer flowed from inside the boat.

“That’s because the person who went to get the tools disappeared. What kind of saw do I have? Do you have a chainsaw? “That’s why I was taking a short break.”

“Why is your answer sly?”

“Who did I learn that from?”

“······.”

“For your information, the population of this island is two. “One of them is me.”

“······.”

He really has become a sly snake.

At that time, a young man jumped out from inside the boat. He rests his elbows on the ship’s railing and looks at Miller.

15 years old. If it were in the outside world, he would have already entered high school.

He was Seo-jin, who had grown up a lot.

“When I was young, I had a cute taste.”

“I’m still young enough, right? 16 years old in Korean age. Just 15 years old. He’s still a kid. baby.”

“For your information, when I was 12, I cried because I missed my mom and dad. I was talking about that time. I do not remember?”

“······.”

“’Ugh. ‘Mom~’ You don’t remember this? “Thanks to you, the first Korean word I learned was ‘mom’?”

“······.”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”

“······.”

Miller began to imitate Seojin’s voice clumsily.

As soon as Seojin saw that, he immediately started glaring at Miller.

‘I heard that none of the real cuteness has disappeared.’

Seojin seemed to hastily change the topic of conversation.

“Hmm. So, did you bring a wooden ruler?”

“okay. “It’s old.”

Mark Miller jerked and threw a long wooden ruler. Seojin accepts it immediately.

The ship was on the verge of completion. I tested it by floating it in the sea a few times and checked all the places for water leaks.

What I am doing now is simple reinforcement work.

If this trend continues, it looks like we will be able to start within this week.

Departure into the real world.

That day has finally arrived.
