“There is a small village just before entering the city from Cheongaesan Mountain.
Maybe your friend has passed through that neighborhood too.
It's a village with several very pretty houses called Jeonwonju.
The villagers work together to raise chickens and ducks.
They made a big fence out of barbed wire.
But, it seems that chickens and ducks have been kidnapped every night recently.”
"hijacking?"
“They say it disappears silently at night.
Chickens and ducks don't just disappear on their own while they're sleeping.
A beggar being kidnapped by someone.
People are saying that it is the work of the wild dogs of Cheongaesan Mountain.
And they are raising their voices saying that all the wild dogs must be caught.”
“We didn’t do that.”
The sea raised its head and spoke.
The already round sea eyes became even rounder.

“Of course it would be like that.
I don't doubt you guys either.
I don't even believe that the legendary black dog would do something like that.
But the important thing is that people believe that.
You know what's even bigger?"
“Gulp.”
The moment the waves lowered their voices, I swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

“That person.”
“That person?”
“I’m talking about the person who was rescued by helicopter.
As it turns out, that person lives in that neighborhood.
He must have said that there are wild dogs living in Cheon-gae Mountain.
“People might be flocking here soon.”

“I’m worried about lightning.
Lightning isn't a perfect dog yet.”
The captain's face darkened.

“Why isn’t Lightning a wild dog?”
I tilted my head.
We who live at 66 Cheongaesan Mountain are all wild dogs.
The dogs living in the city, like the white dog wave, are stray dogs.
“Just because they live in the mountains doesn’t mean they’re perfect wild dogs.
A dog that is not fooled by people can be called a perfect dog.
A clumsy stray dog, called a stray dog ​​only by its name, is fooled by humans in an instant.
Even when people show small kindness, you know that it is the true heart of the people.
The moment you fall for it, you're bound to get caught, and if you do, you can imagine what will happen, right?"

As the day wore on, it began to rain.
As the rain began to fall, darkness quickly fell.

“On a damp day like this, a drug cushion is the best.”
The sea is singing the drug cushion song again.

“That doesn’t mean I miss or think of the master who abandoned me.
absoluteness."
I stared blankly at the sea.
Within a few days, the sea lost its appetite.
He said he was full without even eating properly.
His voice became increasingly hoarse and he coughed more violently.
He was breathing rapidly as if he was going to fall asleep.

'I want to see my master.'
It was clear that the sea was thinking more and more about its master as its body became more and more sore.

The sea fell asleep while singing a drug-induced song, and Miso soon fell asleep too.
After confirming that the sea and smile were asleep, the captain and I left the cave.
A light rain was falling silently.

“It’s all my fault.”
Suddenly, the smile turned into a sob.
It was the first time that Miso cried out loud.
The captain also looked flustered.

“It’s no one’s fault.”
The captain said.

“It’s my fault.
“If I hadn’t known that person, no, no, if I had known him and pretended not to know him, Lightning would have been living here with us.”
“How can you pretend not to know when I gave you food and water right before you died? Smile, you didn’t do anything wrong.
And don't worry too much, Brave and I will protect Lightning so that nothing happens to him.
“Do you trust me and Yonggam?”
The captain's blue eyes sparkled even brighter today.

“I trust the captain.
“I also believe in bravery.”
The sea spoke.

"me too."
Miso answered, swallowing her tears.
