Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

Episode 89: Partner (4)

Thefield she thought was flat from a distance wasnt actually that flat. There were hills as well as several craters.

200 metres underwater was overall very dark, and that was why she initially thought it was flat.

If Yeorum hadnt found the flag on the way down, she would have been at a loss. In other words, she was currently standing in front of the flag.

There was no reason to further mention it at this point, but Yu Jitae really was a son of a bitch…

Although she found the flag on the way down, it was by coincidence that she was able to find it this fast.

After all, the flag was black.

This was on purpose. He must have intentionally chosen a black flag.

Like, its already dark on all sides like a small jail cell. Is it that hard to at least make it a white or a yellow flag…?

It was when Yeorum grabbed the flag whilst grumbling. The place around her chest suddenly tensed the moment she relaxed as the diaphragm spasm visited yet again.

‘Uht…

Blocking her mouth with one hand, Yeorum used the other hand to grab tightly onto the flag and crouched. The desire to breathe soared up from her lungs, through the throat and tried to crawl on top of her tongue.

Although this was already the third time, the impulse directly related to survival was extremely difficult to ignore.

Is this how it feels for food to get stuck on the throat on its way down? No, it in fact felt as if food got stuck on the way out of her body.

Fuck. I might die for real.

Crouching her body like a prawn, Yeorum waited for the stuffiness to disappear. She held even harder onto the flag so as to not run away. If she ran away despite coming this far, she would feel more like a worthless fool in front of Yu Jitae later on.

‘…

After a minute of pain that felt like 10 minutes, Yeorum finally lifted her head. Her mind would turn blank a little straight after enduring the urge to breathe so she simply lifted her head from the crouch.

Finally feels a little better…

With a hazy pair of eyes, she stared at the ocean scenery. There were only rocks and piles of dirt nearby.

A little further away was also about the same, but there were some hills and algae although rare.

Even further away was too dark to see. It was the tightening wall which she tried exceptionally hard to ignore on the way down.

…It was slightly weird.

Shouldnt there be tons of corals, seaweed and fish in the ocean? Of course, there were some algae and seaweed here and there, plus rocks and mysterious black things, but even with all that, this ocean was very desolate.

Looking back at that from the bottom of the world, Yeorum suddenly felt as if she was the only one left in this world.

‘…

She wanted to smoke.

By habit she touched the part around her ribs only to find her bare skin.

Oh right, I left my jacket behind.

I need to go up.

Lifting her body, Yeorum started swimming in the opposite direction, by pushing aside the heavy water.

Kugugugung… That was when the surrounding waters began to tremble.

What?

Her red eyes shot wide open.

“…”

Above water.

Gyeoul was throwing glances at Yu Jitae.

Right now, he was setting up the grill after preparing the pork belly and king oyster mushrooms that he had brought from outside.
