[causality : 19%]

On a bustling Saturday lunch, I took the subway at Sillim Station..

I kept going straight through the crowd of people and arrived at Sadang Station..

I got off for a while, transferred to Line 4, and then traveled about 20 minutes again to arrive at the Seoul subway station..

After getting off the subway with a crowd of people, I followed them up the stairs and came out to the ground..

Then, the train seen right in front of Seoul Station is a building made entirely of blue glass..

‘When I came here before, it was full of people running away from Kim Eun-jung..’

Now it's just people coming and going peacefully, laughing and chatting and enjoying the weekend..

“Should I take the KTX to Busan?.”

“12Are you okay with the 30 minute train??”

“yes.”

“59,800It's a circle.”

Take out the cash you prepared in advance from your wallet and give it to the employee..

‘It's very expensive.’

Half of all the money I had saved as New Year's money was gone..

‘After all, it is right to completely resolve the money issue now..’

If you pursue various activities in the future, you may not know where or how you will need money..

Paying for all that with points is a completely foolish idea..

It's like using cash to purchase something that can be purchased with in-game currency..

‘Points must be used where only points can be used..’

Blind money that only you can manage without being tied to anyone, cash from the garlic field is also the answer..

‘Over there at McDoria, Jinhee persuaded Kim Eunjung. We all ate together after the incident at the food court above.……

Thinking about this and that, I go down to the platform to board the train..

As I was going down the escalator, everyone was full of luggage, probably because they had a lot of work to do..

‘What are the members doing now?.’

This is my first time riding a train alone, and my first time leaving Seoul alone..

It's not difficult if you have the money, but it still feels lonely to leave alone..

I feel emotional for no reason, so I open the group chat room several times with no response as everyone is taking a break..

〈Oh Deok-hoon: Masatoki’s new work came out and it’s called Man in the Window.〉

Deokhoon was talking about comics alone when no one was answering..

“ Hmm

Soon the train roared onto the tracks, and I stepped inside as the entrance opened..

After bowing my head to the flight attendant who was greeting me, I walked through the narrow aisle and found my seat written on my ticket..

I was planning on buying the bag when I got to Busan, so now I'm barefoot..

I passed the passenger putting his luggage on the ceiling and sat down in his seat..

And I lean against the window and quietly look outside..

‘Now that I think about it, I haven't had time to organize my thoughts alone these days..’

Always at school, listening to ghost stories, and getting up and down with the club members..

It feels like two years have passed since I entered school, not just two months..

‘Let's think about going on a trip alone..’

I decided to go on a short trip alone for the holidays..

Soon the train moved and I quietly looked out the window and fell asleep..

When I opened my eyes, the train was still crossing the Republic of Korea..

Outside the window, a quiet daytime rural scene passes by quickly..

[Next Stop Gimcheon Gumi. Gimcheon Gumi]

The train was now halfway there, and I must have been asleep for almost an hour..

‘People live in places like this too.’

As Korea is a country where 70% of the country is mountainous, the scenery outside the train was really just mountains, but small complexes and apartments could be seen here and there..

There is no subway and no supermarket in sight. It was amazing to see what looked like an apartment complex in the distance out of the window, even though there seemed to be nothing but mountains nearby..

‘There are a lot of landscapes I don’t know about..’

I looked outside blankly for a while, and when the train reached Ulsan, I started to feel like a city..

You can see many franchise stores here and there in Seoul..

‘Ulsan feels a bit like where I used to live... Still, it somehow looks like a ghost town..’

“Compared to Seoul,” he muttered. Wherever you went in Seoul, it was full of people..

Even at Sillim Station, where I live, the sidewalk is ready to collapse just once to catch the subway..

4It was a common place for hundreds of people to rush across the street when the traffic lights on the five-lane crosswalk changed..

Compared to those places, the buildings here seem similarly tall, but somehow I can't hide the desolate feeling..

That somehow makes me feel more lonely as I left alone..

Even though I'm going back tomorrow with a bag of money, I somehow feel like I'm leaving somewhere far away that I can never return to..

‘···If you go to the military, it will be worse than this..’

Home is something I miss even if I go to a retreat or travel for just one day, but having to go away for two years makes me miss home..

‘I'm not going, fuck it..’

If the Demon King is resurrected and the Earth is destroyed, it will be destroyed. I have no intention of joining the military..

‘Later, while looking out the window and trying to figure out how to avoid going to the military using the Cha-Cha system, I suddenly got hungry..

‘Snack corner? I heard there is something similar..’

I got up from my seat and walked down the aisle..

After walking a few blocks, I saw a snack vending machine in the middle of the aisle..

I put 1,000 won there, ate a chocolate bar, and sat down again..

‘First of all, there is about 150,000 won in the wallet..’

I broke the piggy bank, took out the money from the bank account, and saved up all my assets, 150,000 won..

When I arrive in Busan, I plan to first buy a large bag to hold money and a shovel..

‘And if you add the transportation costs of taking the subway and bus,……

probably enough.

Once you arrive at your destination, the money is buried there..

To pay for the return train, I guess I can just take out a few pieces of that buried money and use them..

While I was watching a video of a cat answering questions on YouTube, the train arrived at Busan Station..

Several passengers who were dozing in front and behind me also got up and started packing their luggage..

‘Looks like everyone is getting off here..’

Soon the door opened, and I got off at Busan Station with a stampede of people..

And naturally, I follow the crowd and go up the escalator..

‘Now that I think about it, is this the setting for the zombie movie Train to Busan??’

I heard that it hit 10 million people and my family went to see it, but by my standards, it was over 6 years ago, including the regression, so I don't remember the details..

Soon, I crossed the large marble Busan Station platform, went down the escalator again, and arrived at the exit door..

‘What time is it? status window.’

Paat-

‘KTX is really fast..’

It took less than 3 hours to get from the end of the Korean territory to the end..

‘If this was going to be the case, it would be okay to help my parents clean up and take a leisurely start..’

Since it was my first time taking a train, I thought it would take about half a day from Seoul to Busan..

“Let's see……

First, I will use the map's route finding function to search for a route from my location again..

“Here, take subway line 1 and get off at Hadan Station, then transfer to village bus number 9-1 in Gangseo-gu.……

Let's go for now.

* * *

When I came out of the entrance of Busan Station, it was under construction..

It seemed like they were building a new platform, but the timing seemed bad for me as I wanted to see what it looked like..

‘Still, the number of homeless people is the same whether there or here..’

After walking for about a minute, I saw a subway right in front of me..

Go down there, get a transportation card, ride the subway again for a while, and get off at a station called Hadan..

A platform with only a few people coming and going.

The interior design was similar to the Seoul subway at first glance, but there were few people passing by and the atmosphere was very quiet..

[102 Hadan Station]

‘Hadan Station... It's the 'end of the bottom'..’

Does this literally mean that this place is the bottom?.

Even if you look at the map, there is absolutely nothing down here..

Literally at the southernmost tip of Korea, only the sea stretched out, and in the distance across the sea Tsushima Island and Japan were drawn..

‘I have come alone from the end of Korea to the end.' Hehe.

* * *

As I came up to the ground level of the lower subway station, I saw a large shopping mall called Art Malling in front of me..

“You just need to get the biggest one, it's cheap and it's the biggest one..”

“If that's what you're looking for, how about this hiking bag??”

There I bought a large black backpack and a flashlight, and a three-stage folding shovel from a nearby hardware store and put it in my bag..

Even after doing that, I still have 50,000 won left..

‘The destination we're arriving at is completely rice fields, so we have to buy food here..’

Of course, you could eat here and go, but it's already 5 PM..

You must arrive there before the sun sets and confirm the location..

When I searched the map, I saw that there was a Lotte Naldd nearby, so I looked for it and went in..

Squeak-

‘It's free here too.’

If it were like Seoul, you would have to wait in line at fast food wherever you go, but here, even though it was a weekend afternoon, the atmosphere was quite quiet..

I was thinking about which menu to choose at the kiosk, and decided to take the most expensive menu if possible..

‘I have 50,000 won in my wallet, and even if I subtract the transportation costs to get there, I still have a lot of money left..’

There's no need to save it.

I chose the Korean beef burger set, which I normally would not have dared to do..

‘Hmm... should I take one more??’

Now that you have arrived, you will have to spend some time digging and putting money in it, but one set may not have enough energy..

I ordered a separate Wagyu burger for an extra price in addition to the Korean beef burger set I chose earlier..

And while I was waiting for my food with the number ticket in hand, I checked the group chat room again..

〈Deok-Hoon Oh: What are you all doing??〉

〈Jinhee Lee: Shut up〉

‘How are you doing?.’

It seems like nothing much has happened..

‘Seona too... Are you resting well?.’

Even after all the fuss, we haven't had a chance to talk in detail yet..

It was as if they had implicitly promised to ask each other what happened that day..

‘…You can't think deeply about this. Just ask.’

I had no intention of dating anyone right now..

‘This is because as soon as I turned 20, I heard the story of my cousin who got screwed while having a ‘CC (Campus Couple)’ while drinking..

‘Jun! You should never CC... 그년이 선수 쳐서 날 개새끼로 만들었어… I should have hit the player first, but hehe.……

They couldn't live like that, and when they broke up, they competed to spread rumors about who was the worse person..

Of course, even if Suna and I break up after dating, I don't think she will spread rumors about me or anything like that..

Still, you have to spend three years together, and if your personal feelings start to get involved, there will be a lot of inconvenience in many ways..

‘And if it were Suna, she wouldn't bury me with rumors, she would bury me with her words..’

How are you doing?.

‘I'm sure you're doing well.’

You must be doing well..

“Phew……

〈Oh Deok-hoon: Oi- Jjaggyeong, answer me..〉

〈Glassesman: Oh, sorry. Someone started a fight in the comments on the internet. pack. I applied it with T.T..〉

〈Jinhee Lee: Fuck you~〉 These guys probably have no idea that I'm alone in a place far away from Seoul..

‘Next time, I hope we all come to Busan together instead of alone..’

Play in the water at Haeundae, go to a restaurant and eat grilled meat..

“762Dear customer, your order has arrived.~”

“thank you.”

I left the store holding a paper bag containing a hamburger set..

Ghost stories are ghost stories, but they are all told with friends.

If you want to go on a trip, it is better to resolve the money issue here and now..

‘I'm doing well.’

We left the downtown area on the village bus that arrived shortly, crossed the Nakdong River via the bridge, and headed to the outskirts of the city..

* * *

[This stop is Noksan Middle School and Noksan Middle School..]

‘and……

I was amazed when I arrived and got off..

‘There is a school in a place like this?’

It's not just a rural experience school, it's a school that actually competes for entrance exams.?

‘amazing. Where do all the students who attend here live??’

There was still a road and a few buildings nearby, but they were all meaningless clothing wholesale and retail stores..

Most of them had the word ‘for rent’ attached to them..

It's literally a road just for cars to pass by, with no convenience stores or even the usual restaurants..

‘Wow... but let's stop being surprised now..’

You look like a Seoul hillbilly..

I decided to quickly move to my destination..

I left the main road where buses run and walked along the narrow cement road..

‘It's in this direction.’

Fields are already starting to appear between temporary buildings that look like warehouses..

Buildings scattered across fields

“s.

As for buildings, they are only slightly larger than container boxes. When I looked to see what their purpose was, I found that most of them had signs like '<〉Heart Machine' and 'OO Food'..

‘What factory… No, it's like a warehouse.?’

After walking along for a while, I came to a place where the cement road broke off, and eventually an empty plain opened up..

I got off the road, stepped on the dirt, and walked to the Nakdong River visible in the distance..

‘ Is this about it?' Riverside road… It is ambiguous to say that.

A narrow road that could barely accommodate a truck stretched along the river..

‘A field in the middle of nowhere -〉Narrow road-〉The structure of the endlessly unfolding Nakdong River.

Except for the temporary buildings visible in the distance, there were only fields everywhere..

‘···And the collapsed tile-roofed house that bothers me.’

I walked closer along the road to see if it was a place where people lived, but seeing that half of the house had collapsed, I thought it was an abandoned house..

And a flooded section of road visible nearby..

‘To restore that road, fork lanes and other things are coming tomorrow..’

If the road was cut off and flooded in the middle like this, there wouldn't be any cars coming..

I stand on the broken road and look around the empty rice fields..

‘There it is.’

Among the vast fields, there was one area where weeds were growing sparsely, as if it had not been maintained for a long time..

Perhaps this is the garlic field in question. The reason it is not managed is because the owner is in prison for using an illegal gambling site..

‘But I heard it's a garlic field, but I don't actually see anything like garlic..’

They were originally raised for camouflage, but since no one took care of them, they all died..

I stood in a place with only a few weeds and looked around again to see if anyone was watching..

Temporary buildings visible in the distance, endless fields, and a quietly flowing river..

and the wind.

The road is collapsed, so cars won't pass by, and the temporary buildings over there feel like uninhabited warehouses..

The only thing I cared about was the tile-roofed house, which was all falling down..

‘···There's no problem.’

As long as I'm careful to use a flashlight later when it gets dark, no one will see what I'm doing..

I once again checked the location of the cash by stamping my feet on the dirt where the cash was hidden, then sat down near the collapsed road and started eating..

‘Let’s fill our bellies.’

After opening the paper bag and taking out the hamburger, I poured the potatoes on top of the bag and squeezed some ketchup on the side..

I unwrapped the wrapper and took a big bite of the Korean beef burger..

‘It's delicious.’

It's so delicious, but it costs 1,000 won more so I haven't bought it yet..

Suddenly a cool river breeze blows.

Enjoy the scenery of the Nakdong River.

The buildings of Busan light up across the slightly dark river..

The potatoes were cold and soggy. I took a sip of cola.

It was delicious.
