Smiles inevitably

“Ouch, no. I’m in debt. Accommodation will start from today. Because I had a day off yesterday.”

Two people shaking hands at the same time.

“no. Don’t be burdened. are you okay.”

“Because there is no good place to wash here.”

“Then, if you are calm and need a place to wash, come and wash sometime. Because it’s okay.”

“…”

The mind and character are also good.

For a moment, I felt envious of Jang Bum-gyun, who lived so freely.

In the blessed natural environment, there are parents and a wife to rely on.

‘If I’m jealous, I lose.’

no..

I also have Mussong and Cathy that everyone would envy, and there are smart and cute Doongdoongi and Cloudy.

Human greed knows no bounds.

I promised myself that I would throw away my greed while traveling, but…

Shaking off his thoughts, he and Jang Beom-kyun continued to drink.

Aside from feeding the tourists doing take-out and looking after the chewing gum outside, Shin Hye-ji sat down and continued the conversation.

During the conversation, I learned that there are many cultural heritage sites in the region.

During the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592, Admiral Yi Sun-shin came all the way to this place and made a military camp.

I also found out that it was the place where Choi Chi-won of the Shilla Dynasty stayed for a while.

“Wow, it’s a really historically significant place.”

“Yes, during the Goryeo Dynasty, Chinese merchant ships also came up here. So, the excavation of ruins from the Goryeo Dynasty is now in full swing.”

“Ah, barges floating in the sea.”

“Yes, I am busy looking for artifacts sunk in the sea.”

“ah······.”

Also, I heard that Jang Bum-kyun manages the pension and Shin Hye-ji runs a coffee shop, while planning festivals and events in the region and acting as an editor.

When I mention that I was also a civil servant in charge of culture, I am quite surprised.

“Oh, that’s right. I’m in a position to submit a report to a former government official and get a confirmation..”

“Show me the festival plan you planned this time.”

“??”

Seeing my expression suddenly flash, Shin Hye-ji glared at Jang Bum-gyun as if asking why he was making people uncomfortable by talking.

‘Hmm…, there must be something that’s not working out.’

[Beom-kyun Jang, Hye-ji Shin, and Hoon Jo rise in trust]

[Excellent love for Doongdoongi and Cloudy]

[Jang Beom-kyun and Shin Hye-ji’s love for their hometown stands out more than others]

I have no reason to give up.

“I don’t know if you need my help, but if you show me your plan, I’ll think of ways to help.”

“Thank you for your words. Since I have to go out to Haerujil later at night, first of all, close your eyes. Oh, and I brought up work for no reason to the person who came to rest comfortably.”

“I drank more than usual, but I didn’t get drunk. The waterway here goes around with your eyes closed.”

“ha ha ha.”

There is no way to get drunk because there are good people and good snacks and good scenery.

[Successful Acquisition of 1 Point of Friendship and Harmony]

[Succeeded in refilling 1 fuel of Galaxy]

Just as Shin Hye-ji said, I quickly emptied a plate of sashimi and a few bottles of soju and beer, then got up and headed to the rooftop.

“Today is a really long day? Good job on the chewing gum, and hard work on Cathy too.”

“Kyung-Kyung!”

“Nyaaong~”

<Good night. I’ll wake you up on time when you ask >

“okay.”

I drank and had a lot of work during the day, so my eyes closed as soon as I lay down on the roof top.

The chewing gum also plowed into the cage under the roof top.

a few hours later

Before Cathy could wake me up, Jang Bum-gyun came to wake me up.

Wearing chest boots and loading all of the Herujil equipment on top of an electric RV.

“The weather has become very chilly, isn’t it cold?”

‘Ah.. come to think of it… it’s very chilly… but I didn’t feel anything and it was just pleasant. ‘

[Temperature and humidity were adjusted appropriately to improve sleep quality]

Musson was just grateful.

“Ah, it was bearable. The sleeping bag is also thick. Is that also a harbinger?”

I saw a hareujil item that I hadn’t seen before. Something of the size of a big square that also became acrylic.

“Ah, this is called Sugyeong. There is a buoyancy device next to it, so it is easy to float on the sea water, and even if the current is strong, you can see the bottom of the sea in detail.”

“Wow, it’s really nice. Sometimes, when the waves hit, the water was cloudy and I couldn’t see it, so it was frustrating.”

Do you think today will be a very special day?

Fully prepared, I left the chewing gum with Shin Hye-ji and headed to Myeongsasimni Beach with Jang Bum-gyun shining brightly in the moonlight.

A nighttime sunbathing at Myeongsasimni Beach

“wow..”

Myeongsasimni Beach, where the water was far away, was small and secluded.

The crabs, startled by the unfamiliar footsteps, were hiding in the spongy sand that would be soft even if they walked barefoot, or they were diligently picking up salt from the sand with their claws and eating it.

At Myeongsasimni Beach, where only the bright moon and stars look down, it seemed that time had stopped in a word.

Since it is a beach on an island where you have to come by boat, there was not a single tourist.

From noble mtl dot com

I think I know why Jang Bum-gyun is lonely while doing Hae-ru every time.

“I think this sea is completely ours.”

“Yes, it’s our shell for about two hours from now. Let’s play to our heart’s content.”

“Good.”

Others say that they heal while playing golf, but when I saw it, it was a bright apricot..

It looks like a bluff.

Buying expensive golf clubs and telling stories about them, or renting them, and wanting to show off somehow..

The bravado disguised as a kind of arrogance and happiness that belonged to such a group.

‘Because the former director said that, I don’t even know the subject.’

The two of them talked about this and that, and walked about two kilometers before reaching the water’s edge.

Jang Bum-gyun is also 33 years old, the same age as me.

He worked as a successful bank teller in Seoul, but returned home because he hated life like a treadmill.

Not to mention conspiracies, envy, jealousy, privileges, and abuse of power even here.

There were a lot of things I could relate to with my inability to tolerate injustice, and since we were the same age, we decided to talk right away.

“My friend, have fun here and go.”

“Yeah, thank you. What happened… I seem to be making more friends while traveling.”

“In the past, I went to study in the city center because I felt cramped in this island village, but as time passed, I was tired and lonely of living alone in the city for a long time, and I missed my hometown so much.”

So, when I told my girlfriend Shin Hye-ji that I was going back home, she immediately followed me, saying let’s go together.

“hmm…”

I had to cry and shout inside.

I’m not envious. I’m not envious.

I went in until the sea water was up to my knees, put down the large goggles Jang Bum-gyun had given me, and looked into the sea.

“Wow, today is also a floor. See clearly from afar. I really like it.”

“It’s really rare to have a floor like this, but today Hoon seems to have given you a present because you did a big job.”

Hmm.. I was curious about the safety of Lee Min-jung, who was taken to the hospital today.

‘I have to go to the hospital tomorrow. Because he would have been hospitalized.’

“uh!”

It was the flock of meat that woke me up.

“This…what is this?”

“Oops!”

Dozens of small fish were shining brightly inside Jang Bum-kyun’s net, which he quickly lifted up.

“This is a group of anchovies. A bunch of anchovies.”

The spacing of the holes in my landing net was large.

It was a landing net large enough to catch blue crabs, but Jang Bum-kyun’s landing net had a small hole.

There is a downside that it is difficult due to the resistance of water, but today Jung Beom-gyun’s garden nets are playing a role.

Also, I’m a local…

“No, they catch anchovies with haerujil. I never really thought of that.”

“Blue crabs see the light and run away, but these guys run.”

“Oh, right. I think so.”

“I don’t know what will come out of the sea. Even if I come out every day, it’s different that I always get caught.”

Suddenly saliva forms in your mouth.

“I haven’t tried raw anchovy, but I want to try it today.”

“It’s good! ha ha ha. Now, if you go back to the rocks here, there will be a lot of waterweed. There are a lot of octopus and sea cucumbers there. Concentrate.”

“oh! good night.”

Octopus and sea cucumber that I have never caught before.

When you go to the market, you can find living things on the stalls, but octopus and sea cucumber in their raw state are a different matter.

‘It’s like I’m in the rules of the jungle, hahahahaha.’

It was the day my iron rule of not going into the water beyond my thighs was broken.

The beach is also small and cozy, and there is a sense of locality next to it.

I guess I could overdo it a bit.

It went all the way to the navel, and there was a colony of waterweeds.

“You mean an octopus is hiding here among the waterweed.”

Dark brown waterweed rising above the water blocks my path.

“what is this.”

I tried to stir it to open a road with a floating pole, but it broke off and came out with something attached.

It was a look that I was used to cutting off things the size of an adult.

“uh? This?”

“That’s seaweed. Would you like to eat?”

Jang Beom-gyun tears it up, rinses it in water, and puts it in his mouth.

Soft taste but vivid natural taste.

“Wow, what an amazing taste?”

Jang Beom-gyun laughs out loud, as if I’m laughing.

“Will you be quiet? All octopuses will hide.”

“Oh, no, no.”

Jang Beom-gyun cuts off some wakame seaweed and puts them in the container, and Jang Beom-gyun’s underwater searchlight, which is several times brighter than mine, reflects into the water.

“oh! It looks so good. Uh uh uh… that… that.”

It wasn’t an octopus hiding in the black tidal flats that smelled fishy from dying grass every time.

The appearance of an octopus swimming in the water with its long hair and long legs is like an alien swimming in a space of zero gravity.

This is what the original octopus looked like. I couldn’t be too surprised.

“wow…”

My mouth fell open involuntarily.

“What are you doing without holding it?”

“Uh… uh yeah.”

The pace was fast, so we were busy following at a brisk pace.

eww..

I can’t do it anymore. It’s deep.

The octopus took a few more steps and was barely lifted up with a floating pole.

It was too long to fit into the landing net entirely, and was lifted up from the water with only the legs hanging over it, but when the net was lifted high, it fell inside.

It was big and heavy like an octopus, but Jang Bum-gyun roared and laughed, saying that it was an octopus.

“Uh ha ha ha ha. Octopus like this.. Octopus.”

The heavy touch of the octopus passed through my body, and I laughed and gave high fives to Jang Bum-gyun.

In this place where there are many water pools, I saw a lot of sea cucumbers and chams.

An expensive food that costs 20,000-30,000 won for a plate called wild ginseng of the sea.

Beom-Gyun Jang and I caught enough to eat an octopus that escaped and crouched sea cucumber when two searchlights were illuminated, and came out to the shore with a light heart at low tide, when we were sinking farther into the water.

two hours later…

My body was busy thinking about having dinner and a late-night snack with the various seafood the two caught together.

‘I must have had a good nap.. I think tonight will be a long night? Heck.’

Before moving, I washed my gear while searching underwater in a salt-stained chest in a simple bathroom.

Salt water should always be rinsed off as it will rust and rot the equipment if not wiped off.

There were many sinks at the campsite, so there was no inconvenience, but Myeongsasimni Beach had only one toilet.

‘It must be because it is such a remote place. It should be used more cleanly.’

I loaded my equipment on Jang Bum-kyun’s electric car, moved, unloaded my equipment in Moosong, and headed to the pension with the fruits and vegetables.

“Let’s go quickly. Hyeji is also looking forward to it. hahahaha. Today, I can eat octopus tangtang for the first time in a while.”

Ha.. the tangtang I eat with the octopus I caught.

I am salivating. Cheek.

By the way, I was on the move in Jang Bum-kyun’s mobile car.

“uh!”

“why?”

“Does it seem like something is following me?”

“huh?”

“It seems like they’ve been following me ever since…”

“Are you not mistaken? I’ll go in first, come in quickly. You have to eat it while it’s fresh.”

“Uh… that’s how it should be.”

Jang Beom-kyun took a quick look around and went inside with the grain he had caught.

I fixed my eyes on one dark place in front of the pension, but I couldn’t find anything.

‘Did I see it wrong?’

I turned off my nerves and entered the connected entrance of the pension and coffee shop.

Shin Hye-ji, who saw the pain in the stomach, let out a pleasant scream.

It is said that the harvest of two people is more diverse and abundant than that of one person.

Shin Hye-ji, saying that the anchovies should not die, quickly takes the two rice bowls to the rear tank.

At Shin Hye-ji’s fuss (?), Doong-doongi and Goo-reo also barked and made a fuss.

“Guys. I wonder if you guys have anything to eat tonight?”
