Chae Ha questioned Secretary Jeong in a cracked voice.
If he could, he would want to step into the screen.
“Find out where this is right now. Right now!”
“Haa…”
The rough breaths he had been heaving for a while had significantly increased the density of the air in the car.
Despite Secretary Jeong’s recommendation to hire a driver, Chae Ha had taken the wheel himself.
Pressing down the pedal as fast as legally possible, he chewed his lip relentlessly.
As Secretary Jeong had said, during the last five years, every coast in Gangwon Province had been thoroughly searched.
Not to mention the nearby islands.
But, who could’ve imagined it would be completely the opposite direction?
“What’s happening?”
There were too many questions. How did she, who had gone missing from the breakwater in Gangwon Province, end up drifting to the west coast?
Why hadn’t she contacted anyone even though she was alive?
The thought that the woman in the photo was not Min Seol Won didn’t exist at all.
There wouldn’t be another man in the world who remembered her side profile, the subtle smile on her face when she gently brushed her hair, as clearly as he did.
Fortunately, due to his quick rush, Kwon Chae Ha had arrived at the west coast before sunset.
Waiting nervously for the boat and the few minutes on board felt incredibly long.
“The boat is docking. Guests, please wait until it’s safely moored… Uh? Sir! It’s dangerous to rush out like that!” He couldn’t even spare the time to park and remove his car, he had left it on the mainland.
There was no room for leisurely waiting for the docking.
The impression of the island, which he finally set foot on, was much smaller than he had imagined.
Among the many islands on the west coast, this place was said to be a tiny island with a small population.
The residents in sight were mostly elderly fishermen.
Chae Ha slowly regained his breath and moved his steps.
She was on this island.
Just the thought of it was enough to make his heart race, but he had to calm down.
There were so many things to ask if he met her, found her.
It was not yet time to lose his sanity.
“……”
It was then.
A very exotic scenery caught Chae Ha’s eyes as he followed the line of sight of the returning island residents.
A shop that shouldn’t exist on such a small island, a flower shop.
The sound of his pounding heart was now echoing in his ears.
The door of the flower shop was open, and on the other side, the scent of the sea wafted from the longstretched dock.
And……
“Min Seol Won……”
The name he had sealed for a long time finally slipped from his lips.
His heart felt like it was about to stop.
The woman walking along the dock was his wife, Min Seol Won.
Instinctively, his hand reached out to her before he could speak.
The moment he was about to call her name, which he had swallowed deep in his throat, it happened.
“Mom!”
A bright voice, like a small flower bud blooming.
A pure voice, clear as morning dew.
A little boy, who appeared to be the owner of that voice, ran towards her and quickly embraced her.
“……”
With his hand suspended in midair, even Chae Ha’s time seemed to freeze in that moment.
The sinking feeling in his heart, the pounding of his heart, was the only proof that he was still alive.
“Mom! I’ve returned from the Space Daycare.”
…Mom.
The two words brought Chae Ha’s memory back to that day five years ago, when he found the maternity notebook deep in the drawer.
Had there ever been such a chaotic moment in his life?
And was there ever such confusion as now?
Even though he had clearly seen it with his own eyes back then, Chae Ha had been skeptical until he faced this scene.
‘Obviously, we won’t have a child. So, you don’t have to worry about that.’
We are, after all, a couple formed by a contract.
That’s what Chae Ha had told her, as if he was informing her.
‘Could it have been that day?’
The memory of the one night when all reason had crumbled in Chae Ha’s brain passed by.
The memory of a winter night they had spent together, breaking their promise.
No matter what had happened, it wasn’t important now.
Thankfully, Min Seol Won, my wife, was standing right in front of me, perfectly alive and smiling.
Holding a cute little boy with round face and fair skin, who closely resembled her.
Kwon Chae Ha, with his trembling hands just steadied, eventually stepped in front of her.
Min Seol Won, who was playfully chattering with the boy while kneeling, slowly lifted her gaze to the long shadow suddenly cast in front of her.
Instantly, her eyes trembled intensely.
“Min Seol Won.”
“……”
“I’ve finally found you.”
The only sounds filling the space between the two of them were the harsh noise of the waves hitting the dock and the sound of the wind in the dying evening.
However, Kwon Chae Ha did not want a moment of silence between them.
It had been already five years since he had last heard her voice.
He wished for her to open her small, reddish lips and call out his name soon.
“I had no idea you were alive like this.”
“……”
“Why are you living on an island like this? And……”
Kwon Chae Ha’s gaze was directed at the small child far below in his field of vision.
At that moment, as if trying to block his gaze, Min Seol Won stood up, embracing the child.
Then, she looked at Kwon Chae Ha with her hardened eyes, as if her eyes had never wavered.
Finally, she opened her petite, flowerlike lips.
“Who are you?”
“……”
Unquestionably, this response was something Kwon Chae Ha hadn’t expected.
He nearly staggered.
However, as if his existence didn’t matter at all, she casually tossed a single phrase.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know you.”
But Kwon Chae Ha knew.
Even as she was saying that, Min Seol Won’s face was showing the same expression as the first time they met.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.

He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
