The last day of the docuntary shooting.
Seo-jun and Anh Da Ho left their house early in the morning.
Isnt it too early to go?
Seo-jun smiled faintly at Anh Da Hos question and said,
Today might be the last day we see Loki and Uri. I thought we could see them longer if we went early.
He looked up at the dark dawn sky, which had not yet been lit by the sun. He seed to have a lot of thoughts.
Well.
He sotis wondered if the stray cats he fed on the street were doing well, let alone the whale he saved and nad.
He might et the stray cats again if they were safe and wandering on the sa street, but it was not easy for Seo-jun, who lived on land, to et again with the whale that road around the vast sea.
The people from Sea Save usually co earlier than .
They must be switching with the night shift workers.
The dark night sky seed to reflect Seo-juns mood. He felt uneasy.
Da Ho hyung. Do you think well be okay?
Uri was still a baby and had no adult humpback whales to take care of him. Could he survive in this rough sea alone?
But I cant keep him forever.
He wondered if he should send him back to the sea or protect him forever.
Sea Save said they had the sa dilemma.
They said they would take him to where the humpback whales often go. If hes lucky, he might join a pod.
I hope so.
Seo-jun nodded at Anh Da Hos words.
***
When Seo-jun arrived at the Sea Save center, he greeted his team mbers and imdiately grabbed a bucket of fish and headed to the aquarium.
Hello. Uri. Loki.
The baby humpback whale Uri and the dolphin Loki were at the end of the white path, closest to the sea.
This area was where the animals that were about to return to the sea stayed.
They said they moved them after Seo-jun left yesterday.
Lokis caretaker, who followed Seo-jun, said,
I thought Loki would go out on his own since its only one net away from the sea, but he stayed well.
Seo-jun and the production team laughed at that.
To be honest, Seo-jun was a little worried that Loki, who was free-spirited, would leave for the sea without a word.
Maybe Loki knew it was his last day.
Lokis caretaker nodded repeatedly at Seo-juns words.
Loki is very smart.
He looked proud, like a parent bragging about his child.
Seo-jun and the others laughed, and Uri and Loki seed to laugh along.
Thats how it felt.
When Seo-jun and Lokis caretaker threw fish, Uri, who was swimming in front of Seo-jun, cried out and ate the fish.
Loki, as always, ate the fish by jumping gracefully above the water.
Theres no dolphin as talented as him.
The caretaker said with a bit of sadness in his voice as he faced farewell.
Its a farewell that I always experience, but its both happy and sad.
They gave them their last feed and did their final health check.
The caretaker tried to check Lokis fin, but Loki seed to take it as a joke and teased him by showing and hiding it while squeaking.
Uri.
Uri focused on Seo-jun when he called him.
Seo-jun flipped his palm over and Uri followed suit, flipping his body over and showing his white belly.
Uri is also very smart, right?
Everyone laughed quietly at his superstar-like appearance.
Seo-jun looked at Uris belly where there were still scars.
Thanks to the ability engraved at the center, the healed wounds were now faintly marked.
They say humpback whale belly patterns are like human fingerprints.
Seo-jun patted Uris back and said,
Will I be able to recognize you when we et again?
Woo woo woo!
Uri cried out. It seed like he understood what it ant, so Seo-jun smiled slightly.
***
The sky that was dark until they ca to the center started to brighten up little by little.
As the sky turned blue, Lokis caretaker, who had finally checked Lokis wound after getting wet by water splashes, stood up from his seat and said.
He looked calm despite being soaked.
Jun. Lets go in now.
Hmm. Ill stay a little longer.
Seeing Seo-jun unable to take his eyes off Uri and Loki, the caretaker nodded and left first.
It seed like he needed more ti since it was his first ti experiencing this kind of farewell.
Here, wear this.
Thank you. Da Ho hyung.
Anh Da Ho gave Seo-jun a coat he brought with him, thinking he would stay longer.
Seo-jun, wearing the coat, sat down at the end of the white path.
He wanted to say goodbye one last ti, so Anh Da Ho and the cara backed away a little.
Uri and Loki looked at Seo-jun and swam around happily.
Seo-juns side profile, looking at them, looked like a painting. The bright dawn sky and the twinkling stars made it look even more so.
***
Seo-jun wanted to give a gift to Uri, who had to survive on his own until he t other humpback whales, and Loki, who was going back to the sea with Uri.
He looked at his two palms.
The giant whale pattern of the sea color filled his palms. It was the ability Seo-jun got from the Library of Life last night.
All the other abilities bounced off when I put this ability in my body.
He was a bit surprised by the abilities that bounced off in all directions, just like when he first absorbed magic.
It seed to be because it was a high-level ability.
It must be like this when I use other high-level abilities.
He thought he had to think carefully and use it since he could only use one high-level ability at a ti.
Seo-jun slowly sent the magic he had in his origin to the giant whale pattern.
The life book of a very large being who swam in the sky of a planet and let various races stay on his wide back.
It was a long epic because he lived for a very long ti.
Seo-jun beca interested in whales after reading this life book.
Woo woo woo!
Most of the magic in Seo-juns origin flowed into the giant whale pattern.
He thought most of the magic in his origin would be used up by this one activation.
It wasnt like this even with mid-high level abilities
There seed to be a big difference between mid-high and high levels.
The giant whale pattern that kept absorbing magic finally sparkled.
[(Magic) Continental Whales Drifting-High Level is activated.]
The huge natural energy that ca out of the sparkling whale pattern wrapped around Seo-jun.
The planet of the continental whale was made of hot fire.
If you got out of the continental whale, you would fall into a hot fireball that was the core of the planet.
It was a world where no one could live except on the back of the continental whale.
Also, the continental whale swallowed the hot flas that flowed from the core of the planet and breathed out clean air through the blowhole on its back.
The continental whale, which provided land to walk on and clean air to breathe, was like a god.
All living beings wished for the continental whales to live long and prosper, as they were the places where they could stand and survive.
If a continental whale died, the beings that lived on it would lose their hos.
Therefore, most races offered sacrifices and prayers to the continental whales.
[Continental Whales Drift Advanced]
Restores the polluted environnt to the most suitable condition.
Blesses the beings of the whale order.
Blesses the closest beings of the whale order.
Seo-jun looked at Uri and Loki.
In the world of the continental whales, the animals of the whale order that received the blessing of the continental whales grew large and strong.
If they received more and longer blessings, they could even beco another giant continental whale.
In this world, it wont be that much.
Seo-jun wished for Uri and Loki to grow healthy and strong in a clean and good environnt.
***
The cara director, Anh Da Ho, and so staff mbers who were filming the picture-like superstar and the two whales held their breaths without realizing it.
At so point, Seo-jun Lees atmosphere had changed.
It was an astonishing atmosphere even for Anh Da Ho, who had been with Seo-jun for a long ti.
The cara director swallowed his saliva.
He felt a strong presence from Seo-jun Lee.
It was like when he first fild the docuntary, when he encountered a huge whale passing under the sea saver.
The awe that made him just stare blankly.
The aura that was different from the superstars aura he felt during the shooting.
Sohow he looks sacred.
Seo-juns movent of reaching out to Uri and Loki felt heavy and slow.
It was as if a very huge being was moving very slowly to touch a weaker creature.
Uri and Loki also seed to be staring blankly at Seo-jun unlike usual.
It was such an overwhelming atmosphere that seed to stop the movent and sound of the world for a mont,
The wind blew.
The wind that embraced the power of the continental whale compressed around Seo-jun spread out in all directions.
A staff mbers hat flew away in the wind.
Surprised, he went to pick up his hat and looked up at the sky.
Wha, what?
Anh Da Ho and the cara director who were staring blankly at Seo-jun ca to their senses at his voice and turned their eyes.
They followed the gaze of the staff mber who was staring blankly at the sky.
Anh Da Ho and peoples heads looked up at the sky.
Anh Da Ho and peoples eyes widened and their mouths opened wide.
It was a whale.
A giant whale made of white clouds was floating in the sky.
It was huge at a glance.
It was this big even from afar, how big would it be if it was close?
Everyone stared blankly at the whale cloud in the sky with lost minds.
When they were watching that amazing and overwhelming sight,
Woo woo woo-
It seed like they heard a huge whales cry that shook the ground from sowhere.
***
LA.
Many tourists flocked to Mindman Beach, which beca a tourist attraction due to the appearance of a Hollywood star.
The place where there was a baby humpback whale was already crowded with people taking pictures.
Then, soone looked at the sky with a blank face.
What is that?
At his astonished voice, as if a UFO had appeared, other people also looked up at the sky.
And they all opened their eyes wide and took out their phones to take pictures and videos.
***
Korea.
Ugh! Its hot!
Kim Su-han, a director who was filming an independent film, drank water gulpingly.
His friends who also starred as actors were lying exhausted on a park bench with tired faces.
Wow Its so hot even in the morning.
Even if he turned on a mini fan, the air was so stuffy that it didnt cool down. But it was better than nothing.
The humidity is 90%. They say the weather is crazy these days.
Hey. Director. Lets change the shooting date.
No
Kim Su-han said with a gloomy face at his friends words.
I have to submit it to the film festival
The two friends sighed deeply.
Im going to die of heat before filming.
There were also people who ca out for a morning walk in the park where Kim Su-han was filming.
They seed to expect cooler weather in the morning, but they shook their heads as if it was not a good walk.
Only so kids were running around without caring about the heat.
A kid who was playing with his friends laughed loudly and shouted.
Mom! Whale!
What whale in the middle of downtown?
And besides, the kids finger was pointing to the sky.
People who were about to go ho because of the hot weather, people who were sweating while running around with kids also followed his finger and looked up.
Huh What is that?
From head to tail, from both fins.
A clear whale-shaped cloud without any distortion.
A huge whale cloud was flying in the wide sky like a real whale.
At that amazing and overwhelming sight, everyone looked at the sky with astonished eyes.
Wow
People who were going to work, people who were on the bus, people who looked up at the sky for a mont.
Everyone gazed at the whale cloud drifting in the blue sky with lost minds.
And the wind blew.
The weather that was stuffy seed to cool down a bit.
