Chapter 136: Watching From the Gaps
'...A whale?'
With the hand that had been patting Lee Sa-young's back, Cha Eui-jae pressed down on his head, gently encouraging him to lean on him. A sweet fragrance filled the air.
The whale with a pure white body was enormous. Just from its appearance, it didn't seem to be a monster, but he couldn't be sure. There was too little information. Was it a hostile entity, a creature residing in the sea of a ruined world, or maybe...
"...Hyung."
Lee Sa-young whispered. Cha Eui-jae snapped back to reality. The whale that had leapt so high had already disappeared into the sea. The surroundings were silent, as if the whale had never appeared. Cha Eui-jae let out a small sigh before answering.
"Yeah, Sa-young."
"...Are you okay?"
"I'm okay."
"...Really?"
"Yeah."
"..."
"I'm really okay."
