Chapter 200: Collapse
A whistle echoed through the air. The hum of filters running, the mechanical sound of water filters, the thrashing of fish tails, the loud shouts of vendors... Amidst the cacophony of noise, the sound of footsteps blended naturally.
With each step, the young man's navy blue hair swayed. He wore a light outfit, with his white shirt rolled up to his elbows. The owners of the shops, bustling and chaotic around him, raised their hands in greeting as he passed.
"Hey, where are you off to?"
"A customer is waiting~"
The young man smiled brightly and waved back as he quickened his pace. Soon, familiar letters gleamed among the flashing signs hanging from the ceiling. "Jangmi Fisheries." The young man hopped forward and stopped in front of the shop.
"Ta-da! I'm here."
At the same time, Jang Mi-sook grabbed his ear and tugged.
"Why are you so late? Those people have been waiting for ages!"
"Ouch, ouch! It hurts!"
"Stop whining! You're not even really hurt."
She snorted and slapped his broad back with her large hand.
"Hurry in. And don't go in there picking a fight for no reason."
