If this is all a story, then that was the beginning.

There was no way his face would look fierce.

responsibility.
The weight of those words felt like a rock.
--- p.122
Even if the water isn't as clear as heaven, even if there aren't mysterious coral reefs, even if there aren't dolphins jumping around, still.
It was the sea, none other than the sea of the new creation.
The sea could have continued like that.
Even if Mom and Dad were ruined and we became poor, the sea was still there.
My brother was no different.
That was home.
Home, our home.
--- p.181
The story and life were different.
The story of life was not made up.
It was something I had to survive.
However, editing was the writer's responsibility, that was all the same.
Ryu had to ask himself.
What kind of story do you want?
What kind of story do you want to bring to life?

All a person can do is avoid being swallowed up by the waves.
It's about not losing yourself.
Shinjo decided to do so.
I decided to become just one person.

Publisher's Review
A yacht lost in the vast ocean
Can a miracle happen in the Heavenly Father's House?
“Shall we go on a yacht?” Cheonwoo posts his last Instagram story from Busan before heading to his uncle’s house in Daegu.
Even if my house is ruined and my family is scattered, I cannot show any signs of discouragement.
As always, it's just a story filled with bluff, but unexpectedly, children start gathering around Cheonwoo Shinjoho one by one.
From childhood, Cheonwoo's best friend, model student class president Noah, classmate Jangjin, transfer student Taeho, and even Ryu and his younger sister Shinjo, who got to see the story through Goeun.
It's a combination that has nothing in common other than being the same age, but I can't spend the end of a sparkling summer like this.
With the help of Ryu and Shinjo, who know how to drive a yacht, the six children go out to sea on a yacht.
Meanwhile, the next morning, the school is in chaos because Jang-jin has disappeared without contact and Noah and Tae-ho have not returned home.
Go-eun, who is anxious, tells the adults about Cheon-woo's story.
And it is revealed that the children went out to sea on a boat, but the GPS of the Cheonwoo Shinjoho is not detected.
Where did the Cheonwoo Shinjoho disappear to?
Repeated events, surprising twists
A thrilling adventure unfolds on the sea.
The novel unfolds with a sense of urgency, alternating between the chaos on land as the search for the missing children and the suffering of the children who set out on the same boat at sea.
The children's voyage is uneasy from the start.
The Cheonwoo Shinjoho has been out of service for several months, so it is in a state of disrepair here and there, and soon the yacht loses its power.
The panicked children try to call for help, but Shinjo stops them.
He was afraid of the punishment he would receive if it was discovered that he had secretly boarded the yacht that had been seized due to the bankruptcy of his family.
Because of this, the children postpone reporting and end up waking up in a thick fog with no internet or phone signal.
Children stranded in the vast ocean each anxiously wait for a ship to arrive to rescue them.
Then, they encounter a strong storm and the yacht structure tilts sharply, hitting Jang Jin on the head and causing him to fall...
The journey that began with a playful post gradually flows irreversibly, and the summer sea that seemed so beautiful soon turns into something cruel and fearful.
In the midst of unmanageable tasks, children's hearts become heavy like rocks.
In front of the huge waves of life
Can we forgive ourselves?
Stories of those navigating life under the weight of responsibility.
On land, a large number of people are mobilized for search, but even after several days since it went missing, the Cheonwoo Shinjoho has not been found.
Go-eun provides hints for the search for her missing friends, including her ex-boyfriend Cheon-woo and her best friend Ryu, and prays for their safe return.
However, the situation of the children who were adrift at sea on the Cheonwoo Shinjoho gradually worsened.
In this novel, author Lee Hyeon unfolds the beginning and end of all events in a suspenseful manner, led by the youth without any adult intervention.
Among them, each child's unique personality and concerns stand out, and the story has many branches.
Cheon-woo, who appears lighthearted and lacks seriousness, but inside wants to protect the children who boarded the ship because of him; Shin-jo, who becomes more dependent on his older brother Cheon-woo due to loneliness from being separated from his family; No-ah, who is shaken by the cracks in his consistent life; Ryu, who is in pain but calmly leads the ship without showing it; Jang-jin, who is quiet but more considerate than anyone else; Tae-ho, who is full of worries thinking about his grandmother and dog left behind…
But their choices are always out of sync.
Because of fear of punishment, because of selfishness that one is innocent, and sometimes because of arrogance that one can solve everything.
For whatever reason, whether malicious or good, children keep making wrong decisions and putting themselves in a difficult situation.
Unaware of the consequences of their reckless choices, vulnerable in the face of life's immense waves, will these children ultimately be able to embrace their burdens? The story delves into the children's wavering hearts one by one, culminating in a conclusion that is anything but simple.
The adventure, which unfolds in the vast ocean, away from the everyday spaces of youth, offers a surprisingly immersive experience and presents new themes of responsibility and atonement.
This is a special novel that will serve as a 'life jacket' to all those who face rough waves in the cruel sea of life.
▶ From the author's words
This is a story about the sea.
Stories about all the seas I've seen, heard, and sometimes immersed myself in throughout my life.
This is also a story about the times when we crossed that sea.
A story about all my past experiences learning that light is a sign of the wind and that the wind also portrays light.
So this is a story about a life jacket, something that keeps me going even in the sea.
There was always a story there.
It makes me forget about the waves for a moment and teaches me a little bit about how to read the stars.
Another story is sent out to sea.
I hope this will be something that will briefly bring welcome joy to someone's sea.
Life jacket.
I hope and believe that today, as you cross the beautiful sea with your whole body, swaying in the wind, will become your life jacket.
