Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 310

The huge whale-shaped cloud that was floating above the Sea Save Center drifted westward with the wind. 

It seemed to move slowly but swiftly, as if it was a real whale swimming in the sea.

Everyone in the Sea Save Center, as well as those nearby, looked up and watched the whale cloud.

People took out their phones and snapped pictures with astonished faces.

Their mouths, which were wide open, closed only after the giant cloud whale disappeared through the other fluffy clouds.

“Wow… I’ve never seen anything like that before.”

“Me neither. I feel like today is going to be a lucky day!”

“Wait! Did you record it?”

“Yep! Of course I did!”

The PD said, and the cameraman who had a professional spirit showed his camera with a smirk.

“Let’s send it to the station right away… No, wait. Since it’s such a big cloud, other people must have taken pictures too. It would be better to put this video in a documentary.”

While the PD checked the recorded video, Seo-jun clenched and unclenched his hands. 

Uri and Loki’s eyes did not leave the remnants of the continental whale that had vanished beyond the sky.

Seo-jun scratched his cheek at the noisy reactions of the people.

‘…Was that a bit too much?’

But he thought this ability was the best.

For the Sea Save Center, who was worried about the weather, and for Uri and Loki, who had to live in the sea from now on.

With the ability of the continental whale, the atmospheric environment of the earth would return to a few years ago.

The temperature, which was higher than before, would return to its original level, and spring and autumn, which were disappearing, would come back.

It was up to people whether they would be happy and preserve the miraculously restored atmospheric environment or just be curious and continue to pollute it.

Seo-jun took a deep breath and exhaled.

It was a refreshing morning air.

***

After a noisy time and breakfast, Seo-jun and Sea Save started to move. 

It was time to return Uri and Loki to the sea.

Sea Save’s boat, Sea Saver, appeared in front of the aquarium. 

Next to Sea Saver was another boat that looked more like a square tank than a boat.

“That’s a transport ship.”

“A transport ship?”

“When we release marine animals into the far sea, we take them with a transport ship. Do you see the line connected to Sea Saver? It’s the same line we used to rescue Uri. We connect it to the transport ship and Sea Saver pulls it.”

“I see.”

“It’s a device that opens up four walls when activated, so that animals can return to the sea more comfortably.”

Kate made a gesture of clasping her hands together and then spreading them wide. It looked like a flower blooming.

“I see.”

Seo-jun nodded his head as he understood Kate’s gesture. But he tilted his head at the only transport ship.

“Do you usually carry two animals on one ship?”

Kate smiled softly at his question.

“Loki seems like he would escape if we move him alone on a transport ship, so we’re going to put him on a bigger boat with us.”

Seo-jun laughed at Kate’s words. It seemed like something Loki would do.

“Now we have to move Uri and Loki to the transport ship… Can you help me, Jun?”

“Yes!”

Seo-jun headed towards Uri and Loki.

“Uri! Loki! Come over here!”

Seo-jun and Loki’s caretaker guided Uri and Loki to enter the transport ship where one wall was open.

Uri and Loki obediently swam towards the transport ship at their guardians’ gestures. 

The caretaker sent a signal when they confirmed that they had entered well, and then one side of the transport ship that was open slowly rose up.

“Just bear with it for a little while.”

Oooong!

As if telling him not to worry, Uri cried out.

***

Uri and Loki were loaded onto the transport ship, and Seo-jun and Sea Save also boarded the boat.

Soon Sea Saver departed for its destination. 

The lines connected to Sea Saver were pulled tight, and the transport ship was slowly dragged along. 

Uri and Loki, who seemed a bit confused at first, soon got used to it.

Seo-jun watched them from above Sea Saver. 

Kate smiled bitterly at Seo-jun’s gloomy back and said,

“Jun. This area is where humpback whales pass by most closely in recent times. It’s close to Sea Save Center. The weather is good, so it won’t take long.”

“I see.”

Seo-jun looked at the map that Kate showed him and soon took his eyes off it. 

He didn’t think he would meet them again even if he remembered where they were releasing Uri now.

‘Let’s look at them as much as we can now.’

Seo-jun looked at Uri and Loki who were playing well again.

As Kate said, they arrived at their destination soon.

-Team leader! We have arrived.

The radio rang and Sea Saver stopped in the middle of the sea. 

The transport ship that was connected to Sea Saver and dragged along also stopped moving.

Now, if they pressed the switch, the four walls of the transport ship would open wide and Uri and Loki would return to the sea. 

Kate smiled and said to Seo-jun, who looked sad.

“Jun. Do you want to go down and see?”

“Can I?”

“As long as you wear a life jacket and follow the safety rules… You can follow the rules, right?”

Don’t lean out of the boat, don’t panic if you fall into the water, relax your whole body if you go underwater, etc. 

Seo-jun recalled the rules that Kate had told him before boarding Sea Saver and smiled gratefully.

“Yes! Of course!”

A small boat came down from Sea Saver onto the water surface. It was the same boat that had come to rescue Uri. 

On the boat were Kate and Seo-jun, Loki’s caretaker and a production crew with a camera, and a few team members.

As the boat approached the transport ship, the four walls of the transport ship slowly opened.

Oooong!

Beep!

Uri and Loki looked bewildered by the suddenly widened view. 

Loki was the first one to get out of the transport ship, as he was more curious.

 As soon as Loki got out of the transport ship, Uri also moved gently towards the sea.

Then they saw Uri and Loki diving and surfacing in the water. 

Uri and Loki, who peeked their heads out of the water, spotted Seo-jun and came closer to the boat.

Seo-jun, who had been watching them without blinking since the transport ship opened, checked Uri and Loki’s remaining blessings of the continental whale and smiled.

“Uri. Loki. You have to grow up strong and healthy.”

Oooong.

As if he knew it was the last time, Uri’s eyes did not leave Seo-jun.

“Loki. Don’t play too much. You might get hurt if you bump into a boat while playing with people again.”

The caretaker scolded Loki, who was spraying water at him as a prank. Seo-jun chuckled at the cause he had just heard. 

It sounded like something Loki would do.

Beep!

Was it his way of saying he understood? Loki cried out loudly.

Oooong!

As if saying goodbye for the last time, Uri cried out. 

Seo-jun felt sad even though he was happy, and forced a smile.

It was his first time saying goodbye without promising to meet again in this life.

Seo-jun gently pushed Uri’s back with his hand.

Oooong.

As if sensing their farewell, Uri and Loki cried as they slowly moved away from the boat that Seo-jun was on.

“That kid really doesn’t look back, does he?”

At the caretaker’s words, Seo-jun, who had only been looking at Uri, followed his gaze. 

Loki was already far away, jumping above the water surface.

Oooong!

Uri followed him.

“They must have become really close.”

“They are both cetaceans, but… a dolphin and a humpback whale. It’s amazing.”

The two caretakers of Uri and Loki looked at the two whales with sad eyes. 

They tried to watch them for a while, but Uri and Loki were no longer visible, as if they had dived into the water.

“Shall we go back then?”

At Kate’s words, Seo-jun nodded his head.

That was when.

Seo-jun noticed something coming up from under the water at a fast speed.

“Everyone, hold on to the boat!”

Everyone reflexively grabbed the boat at Seo-jun’s voice. 

They didn’t know what was going on, but they had to be careful of anything on the water.

And then,

Splash!

White droplets of water rose up to the sky.

Everyone forgot to blink and stared at the air. 

There was something black and white in the middle of the huge splash. 

It rose up from the sea to the air, drawing a beautiful curve. 

From head to tail, it was very clear.

Still small, but soon to be bigger than anyone else,

“Uri!”

It was Uri, the humpback whale.

Seo-jun smiled brightly and shouted.

Uri fell back to the water surface. 

The baby humpback whale made a loud noise as it hit the water. 

The small boat shook from the impact. 

The people in the boat held on to it tightly.

“It’s breaching!”

The caretaker, who was soaked in water, exclaimed with an excited face. 

The others were no less thrilled.

The camera director tried his best not to miss a moment.

Breaching.

The act of whales rising high above the water surface.

They could easily see pictures of whales rising above the water on the internet, but it was their first time seeing it so close.

“No one knows why whales breach yet!”

Kate said with a bright smile, holding on to the boat tightly.

“This must be a sign of gratitude!”

Seo-jun agreed with her words.

“Come again!”

At Seo-jun’s voice, everyone held on to the boat tightly.

The people on Sea Saver also looked at the boat. Several cameras were filming Uri’s figure.

Once again.

The baby humpback whale rose up from the water as if doing a high jump, rotating towards its white belly. 

White droplets of water poured down over the boat.

“Huh? Loki!”

Everyone was amazed by Uri’s magnificent breaching when a relatively small splash rose next to him.

It was Loki, the dolphin.

As if following Uri, Loki also rose above the water surface and made a white splash.

Splash!

“It’s cute because it’s small.”

“Ugh.”

Seo-jun and the others laughed at the caretaker who couldn’t argue with Kate’s words.

That’s how Uri and Loki rose above the water several times.

Seo-jun’s eyes never left Uri and Loki.

It was a truly wonderful thank you gesture.

***

That evening.

The news came out.

“Wow. That cloud went all the way to Korea?”

Seo-eun-hye, who was eating dessert after dinner, made a surprised expression. 

Im-min-joon and Nara Kim also looked at the television with interest. 

Seo-jun, who was exchanging messages with his friends, also looked up.

<The whale-shaped cloud that first appeared on California beach has traveled through Europe and East Asia…>

Behind the announcer, a world map appeared and red arrows were drawn on it. 

Pictures of the whale cloud taken by people from all over the world were attached along the arrows.

“I saw it too, and it was really amazing.”

Nara Kim said, and Im-min-joon nodded his head.

“It was a sight to marvel at.”

They wouldn’t have missed it if it hadn’t passed by at midnight. 

There were rumors on the internet that some countries even sent fighter jets.

“It even has a name now. Moby Dick.”

Moby Dick.

Seo-jun smiled contentedly.

It was a cool name that suited the continental whale.

=Yeah, I feel like I have to see whales if I go to California lol
