“What about water and food?”
“I packed everything for 30 days.”
“Isn’t it too much to go beyond that?”
“yes. If I were to be greedy, I would like to load more, but if I do that, I might get shipwrecked on the first day of sailing. And this time, the ship sank.”
When Seojin joked, Miller also responded lightly.
“A plane crashes and a ship sinks? Then it will appear on TV a few times.”
“Honestly, based on our current status alone, we’re sure we’ll be on the show, right? ‘Two men who survived on a desert island. How were those two able to survive!?’ “There will be at least 10 special features like this alone.”
“You will make a lot of money.”
“of course. “If you negotiate the appearance fee well, you will be able to buy a house.”
“I should use this opportunity to change cars.”
“It’s good. “But what about the house?”
“There are already two. One in LA. “One in New York.”
“······.”
Seojin paused for a moment after hearing Miller’s answer. Soon after, she makes a groaning sound on purpose.
“Hey… This is a popular artist who has had a lot of experience with capitalism, right? Hey… “I haven’t seen you in a while.”
“What I said… “Is that how it can be interpreted?”
“The bourgeoisie of modern society. A famous composer who doesn’t know the pain of the common people!”
“For your information, I’m not that famous. There are no great hits. “I’m just making a living by composing music for a long time.”
“But you said you have two houses?”
“One in the eastern United States, one in the western United States. That way, it’s easier to work.”
“Yes~ Yes~ For a commoner like me, I still live in a ‘Jeonse’ house, so housing was the number one concern.”
“What is ‘cheonsei’?”
“There are all those things. ha. However, some people say that because they have two houses, they change cars first. I feel like there’s a gap. It’s my dream to own my own home… “I am far away.”
Seojin’s tone was full of playfulness.
Miller, who noticed this, didn’t sit still either.
“hey. For your information, you are still a minor. But what kind of house are we talking about already? “If you spend money like that, it’s already getting in the way.”
“No way. And at my age, I can’t talk about home? “What will I do in the future if I make money doing music?”
“······. okay. “Let’s take a listen.”
“yes? Isn’t it obvious? Buying a house, buying a car. “I get a wife like a rabbit and give birth to a daughter like a fox.”
“That was in the wrong order. A wife like a fox. “She’s like a rabbit.”
“I said this on purpose. on purpose. For your information, I think I would prefer a rabbit-like wife. “I think a fox-like daughter would be cute too.”
“······.”
Miller felt sad as he recalled Seojin from three years ago, when he was a truly innocent child.
How did that guy grow up like that?
As Seojin said, on an island with a population of 2, it was clear who that guy was influenced by, so there was nothing to say.
In fact, there was a separate reason why Miller and Seojin were talking so nonsense.
Today, the day before departure, I wanted to somehow relieve that tension.
This voyage will definitely not be smooth.
We made desperate preparations for this voyage on an uninhabited island.
But we didn’t have much.
There isn’t even the most common map or compass.
Moreover, I don’t even know exactly where I am.
We know that he crashed on a flight from South Korea to Singapore, but there was no other information available to us.
A situation where you have to go out to sea with just a 0.1% chance.
This voyage was truly a voyage that could have resulted in death.
That’s why I tried to lighten the mood with this light story.
As Miller and Seojin talked one by one, the topic came up endlessly.
Stories that arose from spending a long time on a deserted island.
A story related to music.
And each story about their lives.
All of this was serving as a great snack for tomorrow’s voyage.
Seojin went to sleep first after talking with Miller. The reason was that I had to move early tomorrow, so I wanted to save up some stamina.
Meanwhile, Miller couldn’t sleep at all.
After the day he had his first lucid dream, he had trouble sleeping every night.
Miller had many different dreams. Sometimes she even felt like the boundary between dreams and reality was collapsing. The sense of reality becomes faint.
So I was afraid of sleeping and dreaming.
As time passed while living on this uninhabited island, Miller was getting the feeling that something was strange.
Everything clicked into place here.
Miller and Seojin survived the accident.
Water and food were easily obtained.
Survived the Other Case Incident.
And finally, I ended up building a boat.
It wasn’t easy at all, but we achieved it in the end.
We were rewarded for our efforts.
In some ways, this can be seen as a natural thing.
however.
‘Could something like that happen in reality?’
I do not know.
Even if I work hard, results won’t necessarily come out. This was easy to see just by looking back at Miller’s life.
It seemed like everything could be known only after leaving this deserted island.
It seemed like Miller’s instincts were telling him that it would be the way to go.
‘tomorrow···. okay. ‘You’ll find out tomorrow.’
Today is the day before departure.
Miller fell asleep only after glancing at his face in the hand mirror at his bedside.
Contrary to Seojin, who has grown significantly over the past three years.
Confirming once again that he has not aged at all in the past three years.
* * *
Early morning.
High tide time on an uninhabited island.
“”one two!””
At the signal, the two began to push the boat with all their might.
The logs placed on the floor and the bottom of the boat rub against each other, creating a screeching sound. The wooden boat moved straight toward the sea. The two also made splashing noises and did not stop.
It wasn’t long after the silence on the island was broken.
The boat floated on the water quite smoothly.
At that moment, cheers erupted. Two years have passed since I started building the boat. In a way, it was natural that I was naturally overflowing with emotions.
The two continued to move diligently.
We prepared in advance, loaded the luggage, and put oars and sails on the boat.
Noh managed to cut down a huge tree and make it okay. However, the sail was not that great. A crude form made by plaiting dried palm leaves. Still, it’s better than nothing.
The last piece of luggage on board was a black acoustic guitar case. Miller, who was receiving luggage on the boat, extended his hand to Seojin.
“You were lucky you had this, right?”
Seojin answered, holding Miller’s hand tightly.
“Iknow, right. “If she didn’t have this, she would have been bored to death.”
Miller leaned back with all his might and pulled Seojin. Seojin also gives a couple of kickbacks at the right time. A boat that churns violently. Seo-jin, who jumped to the end, easily climbed onto the boat.
The inside of the boat was very narrow. Lots of piles of coconuts and dried fish. fishing rod. Two people. It seemed like there was almost no room to move.
Still, it was a sturdy ship built with long voyages in mind. She won’t sink easily or anything.
Miller and Seojin began rowing slowly. When I got some distance from the uninhabited island, I decided to look at the direction of the wind and set sail.
The uninhabited island behind the ship was getting smaller and smaller. Not fast, but steady.
Mark Miller has captured this island several times. Seojin’s appearance was also visible in the same way.
I already felt like I was getting lost. I have no idea where to go.
“mister! “Now!”
But at that moment.
Perhaps because the wind had changed, Seojin gave a signal to urgently raise the sails.
Miller looked blankly at Seojin, who was doing his job without his instructions.
“mister!”
“Oh yeah.”
Miller hurriedly raised the sails with Seojin. The sail is instantly taut by the blowing wind.
The boat moved quickly forward past the strange section of current where Miller had picked up the guitar case.
To that vast sea.
* * *
Just as night came on the uninhabited island, night came on the sea as well.
In the dark sea where it seemed like nothing could be seen, a small wooden boat was floating.
The boat dances in the gentle waves, like rocking a cradle.
The ship was drifting somewhere without knowing where it was going.
It seemed to be aimlessly circling the same place, but then flowed again with the wind.
Even in this lost place, countless stars were shining in the sky.
When I looked up and looked at the night sky, there were stars floating in the sky, and there were also stars in the vast sea below.
A quiet place where no sound can be heard.
Still, there is something shining.
How many people in the world have ever seen such a calm sea?
‘well.’
Me and Uncle Miller. There will be at least two.
I stretched out my hand towards the stars that seemed like I could reach them.
And I moved my fingers naturally.
With the movement of your fingers, a beautiful melody passes before your eyes.
It felt vaguely like the sound was real.
Even though it’s been a very long time since I played the piano myself.
This sound remained clearly in my ears.
I want to play the piano. I want to make music.
I wanted to use what I learned from that eccentric man in a place other than here.
I have directed towards the stars.
I hope the melody in my head reaches them.
For those who have a hard time sleeping.
I hope it becomes another lullaby.
I prayed that the night would pass.
