Chapter 306

The day before the shooting.

The world was still buzzing about Seo-jun Lees whale rescue.

Especially ABS Broadcasting, which was also involved in the documentary shooting, aired Seo-juns past videos and revealed that his fans had donated to SEA SAVE.

ABS Broadcastings parent company is MarineSaya.

Really?

Nara Kims words surprised Seo Eunhye and Lee Minjun, who were looking at the television.

On the screen, a video edited around Seo-jun, who was wearing a black hat, was playing.

So theyre airing this much because hes an actor who starred in their companys movie?

Well, I guess thats part of the reason. Its not bad news, its good news.

Oh.

Seo Eunhye and Lee Minjun nodded their heads.

Meanwhile, ABS Channel showed a new video.

It was a different angle from the one that had filmed the whale from afar, a closer shot of the whale rescue.

But there are really a lot of people who filmed it.

Seo Eunhye exclaimed.

There were also a lot of videos uploaded on YouTube with titles like Myde Whale Rescue Video (Feat. Seo-jun Lee).

Each broadcasting station collected those videos and edited them to air.

Well, its rare to see a whale on the beach. Oh, this one shows Seo-jun well?

Huh? Did you call me?

Seo-jun, who was buried in the sofa and tapping his phone, turned his head at Lee Minjuns voice.

The couple and Nara laughed at his look.

No, I didnt call you.

Seo-jun, what were you doing?

I was talking to Dahohyung. He just got on the plane.

Really? If he leaves now hell arrive at dawn?

Seo-jun nodded at Seo Eunhyes words.

I dont think I can go with Dahohyung since we have to go early in the morning for the shooting.

A lot of people flocked to SEA SAVE Center today.

The production team had to change the shooting time because of the unusual crowd.

They felt that this many people would come tomorrow and the day after as well.

The decided time was early in the morning.

Dahohyung, you have to adjust to the jet lag.

Dahohyung was sorry, but he decided not to follow him for a day.

He didnt know what would happen even in perfect condition, let alone when he was tired.

Shall we go with dad for the first time in a while?

Seo-jun smiled brightly at Lee Minjuns words.

Okay!

***

The day of the documentary shooting.

Seo-jun and Lee Minjun left their house at dawn and arrived at SEA SAVE Center.

[SEA SAVE CENTER]

There were two parking lots in the three-story building with a sign that said SEA SAVE Center.

One was a large parking lot for visitors who came to tour, and the other was a parking lot for staff or emergency vehicles.

As soon as the car that Seo-jun and Lee Minjun were in entered the staff parking lot, a camera that had been waiting in advance shone on them.

The staff notified the PD inside the building that Seo-jun Lee had arrived.

Soon, several cameras and people appeared.

Nice to meet you. Im the PD in charge of the documentary.

Hello. Im Seo-jun Lee.

The PD and Seo-jun greeted each other and Lee Minjun also greeted them.

Seo-juns eyes went to the person next to the PD.

It was a face he had seen briefly but couldnt forget.

Kate smiled and reached out her hand.

Nice to see you again. Im Kate OHass, the team leader of SEA SAVE Rescue Team.

Im Seo-jun Lee. Please call me Jun.

They shook hands lightly and Seo-jun also smiled.

The camera captured their scene.

It was where the two heroes who couldnt be left out of the whale rescue met again.

Please call me Kate. Ill be with you during the shooting.

Okay. Thank you for your cooperation.

I should thank you.

Kate smiled softly and took Seo-jun and Lee Minjun inside SEA SAVE Center.

Except for the first greeting, the PD stayed out of the angle.

***

Kate took Seo-jun to an office near the staff entrance first.

And she handed him a card necklace and a piece of clothing.

It was an ID card with [Seo-jun LEE] written on it and a sea-colored T-shirt with a white circle representing the earth and a whale tail as SEA SAVEs mark on the right side.

From today until the end of the shooting, Jun is also a member of SEA SAVE. You will be responsible for taking care of the animals in the center. Here are your ID card and uniform. The dressing room is over there.

Okay. Ill change quickly and come back.

Seo-jun came out of the dressing room after changing his top and put on the staff ID card that Kate handed him.

Kate continued to speak.

It suits you well. Then Ill introduce you to the center and the team members first. Theyre all scattered around because of work. Youll meet them all as we go around.

Okay. I understand.

Kate stopped walking as they were heading to the center entrance.

Seo-jun, who was walking next to her, stopped and tilted his head.

Kate opened her mouth with a serious expression.

I wanted to tell you and your fans. Your donations have been a great help to SEA SAVE. Thank you very much.

Seo-jun smiled shyly but proudly at Kates sincere gratitude.

My fans are the best.

***

Seo-jun and Kate arrived at the center entrance.

It was the first place where visitors started their tour, so there were various designs of pamphlets.

Ill introduce you to SEA SAVE Center.

Kate picked up a pamphlet and handed it to Seo-jun.

Seo-jun read the pamphlet while listening to Kates explanation.

The pamphlet told the story of how SEA SAVE was created, how the center was built, and what activities they had done.

Seo-jun was amazed by the number of marine animals that SEA SAVE had rescued.

SEA SAVE Center is a marine animal sanctuary that was made by blocking a bay. We used nets so that we can restore it anytime.

Bay.

It was a term for a place where the beach was curved like a crescent moon.

By connecting the two ends and blocking them, they could use the wide sea as an advantage.

The sea side is much bigger than the building on land because we treat, care for, and release marine animals.

Oh.

Seo-jun nodded his head as he looked at the map on the pamphlet.

The building were standing in now is the center, and the sea side is the sea hall.

SEA SAVE Center consisted of one basement floor and three above-ground floors.

The basement and first floor of the center are where SEA SAVEs offices and relatively recovered marine animals are. The second and third floors are where more seriously injured marine animals are hospitalized. Since they can get stressed by small noises when theyre hurt, we only open the first floor, basement, and sea hall to the public.

Kate moved her feet and continued to explain.

Seo-jun and the camera followed her.

The first floor of the center had small marine animals swimming in tanks.

Do you only get injured animals at the center?

Kate shook her head at Seo-juns question.

No. Animals from zoos or aquariums also come here. They send them from places that went bankrupt or couldnt keep them anymore. This one is one of them too.

Kate pointed to a dolphin that was swimming leisurely behind the glass wall.

Her name is Molly. She came from a zoo.

The dolphin, Molly, noticed Kate and Seo-jun and came to the glass wall.

She looked like she was smiling broadly.

Maybe it was because of reading the book The Superior Life.

Molly spun around in front of the glass wall, showing her joy with her whole body.

Seo-jun, Kate, and the production team smiled at her cute appearance.

Shes cute. When will Molly go back to the sea?

The one who answered Seo-juns question was a SEA SAVE team member who came to check on Mollys condition.

Molly needs to gain more weight before she goes back to the sea.

Weight?

Seo-jun looked at Molly again.

She did look thinner than the dolphin in the next tank.

Molly is too light right now. My goal is to make her twice as heavy as when she came to the center.

Seo-jun laughed at the team members eyes that seemed to sparkle with madness.

There was a dolphin enlarger here.

***

[Molly/Dolphin]

[Max/Seal]

[Cooper/Turtle]

As he looked into each tank on the first floor and heard about their stories, Seo-jun asked Kate.

Do you always name them?

Kate nodded with a smile.

Yes. Other people ask me too. Why do you name them when you wont see them again after sending them back to the sea?

Kate looked at Toby, a young seal that she had rescued from a beach in California.

Tobys wounds were healed, but they still looked painful.

When Kate touched the glass wall, Toby pressed his head against it.

The surrounding became quiet at their silent communication.

When we name them, we can recognize them as one life. We dont think of them as just one dolphin or one seal, but as Molly or Toby, and get closer to them.

Kate smiled softly and continued.

Of course, some of them recover and go back before we get used to their names. But thats a really good thing.

The passing team members nodded their heads in agreement.

The camera captured their expressions.

Seo-jun looked at those SEA SAVE team members with a smile.

Its a good place.

He felt that SEA SAVE really loved and cared for the animals.

Shall we go see him now?

Him? Ah

Before he could ask who he was, Seo-jun felt like he knew who it was.

Kate smiled at him.

I didnt name him yet because I heard you were coming. The baby humpback whale that you saved is not badly injured, so hes in the sea hall.

Kate and Seo-jun moved their steps toward the sea hall.

So it was a humpback whale.

Yes. They usually go to cold high-latitude regions in summer, but I dont know why only this baby stayed here. He might have been left behind when they moved their habitat.

I heard that there are a lot of whales found on beaches these days. What do you think is the cause?

As Seo-jun Lees whale rescue became a hot topic, the news aired about previous accidents.

Two weeks ago, two dolphins died on the beach, and before that, more than a hundred dolphins appeared on the beach.

Without discriminating between species, large whales, small seals, and other animals were stranded on the shore.

Kate sighed at Seo-juns question.

There could be many reasons. The whale got lost when he was left behind, or he couldnt get out of the water by mistake. Lately, I think its because of the weather.

The weather?

Its unusually hot this year.

Seo-jun nodded his head.

Yes. Winter ended early and spring and summer started early.

Thats why the shooting of Spring is Back in February and March was easier than expected because of the warm weather, and they were worried about the summer shooting that was expected to be extremely hot.

I think it will continue like this. As the temperature of the earth rises, the temperature of the sea also rises, and as the temperature of the sea rises, the direction of the currents inevitably changes.

Kate gave a bitter smile.

Currents are very important for marine animals. They have to swim and live their whole lives, but its a big deal if they lose their way. What if they go north instead of south following the warm current?

Seo-jun thought for a moment and opened his mouth.

Hmm. They cant adapt?

Yes. Its not like the north will stay warm just because it was hot for a few days. If the rest of the days are cold, the animals will die without adapting.

Everyone nodded their heads seriously at Kates serious words.

The weather change that they didnt care much about was having a huge impact on unseen places.

Weather

Seo-jun came to his senses at Kates bright voice.

Okay. Now Ill show you SEA SAVE Centers pride, the sea hall.

Kate opened the door to the sea hall with a smile.
