Episode 251. Movie “Moon” End
“Right now my ships and submarines are entering the territorial waters of Tonga and Fiji without permission, so please just prevent any diplomatic friction.”
Before long, the screen showed ships filling the sea.
At the bow of the speedboat running at the front, Cha Su-hyeon was holding a satellite phone while being hit by white foam.
– What are you talking about! Why would Representative Cha suddenly invade another country’s territorial waters without permission?
Then another voice was heard.
– Ah, this is Aerospace Research Institute Director Hwangbo Hoon. I don’t know what the situation is, but according to our records, there’s a high possibility the exploration vessel sank into the sea. Even if we find it, salvage operations would be nearly impossible in a short time.
Then Cha Su-hyeon nodded.
“I know. I have no intention of salvaging it. I plan to immediately deploy submarines to dock with it on the seabed.”
– What? What kind of absurd statement is that? Docking is a very precise process. The specifications don’t even match with submarines in the first place! The moment you attempt it, both the submarine and spacecraft will be damaged and crushed by water pressure!
If the person he was talking to wasn’t the biggest investor in the mysterious space development project, Hwangbo Hoon would have hung up immediately.
But Cha Su-hyeon answered calmly.
“I already had them produced to match the exploration vessel’s CPS-48K specifications. We’ve completed dozens of test runs, so there’s no problem.”
– But the exploration vessel’s design is classified national information. Even if you’re the biggest sponsor, how on earth did you…
“Just understand it that way.”
Cutting off the Aerospace Research Institute Director’s words, Cha Su-hyeon added.
“If any other ships interfere with our search operations due to diplomatic friction, I’ll immediately open fire with ship cannons, so if you want to prevent unpleasant incidents between nations, please take care of it in advance. I’m hanging up now.”
Click─.
Looking at the phone that had been hung up, the President and officials blinked their eyes.
“Did Representative Cha just say ship cannon fire…?”
“More than that, how on earth did he build submarines matching the top-secret design specifications…?”
Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Cha Su-hyeon raced across the sea on the speedboat.
Below, dozens of submarines equipped with independently developed underwater detection radar were spreading across the wide sea, expanding their detection range.
***
The spacecraft carrying Hong Yu-jeong crashed and sank into the sea, becoming a kind of closed system.
The completely sealed spacecraft interior receives no influence from the outside.
No matter what happens outside.
From now on, whatever Cha Su-hyeon does cannot affect Hong Yu-jeong inside the spacecraft.
Finally, Cha Su-hyeon and Hong Yu-jeong came to live in the same time period.
It was the moment when time flowed equally for both people who had been running on different timelines, becoming the present.
And that was the present (gift) that Cha Su-hyeon had been waiting for so long.
Meanwhile, Hong Yu-jeong, who had returned from the past, looked around with a dazed expression.
“Su-hyeon…”
Originally she should have returned to the past in a few seconds, but she was still remaining in the exploration vessel.
Tears flowed from her eyes. She didn’t even frown.
The tears that just kept flowing with a blank expression vividly conveyed her sense of loss to the audience.
The crashed exploration vessel had fallen into the sea, and her coworkers were still unconscious, hanging from their safety belts.
Hong Yu-jeong, who had regained consciousness, woke up her coworkers.
Some had difficulty breathing as if their ribs were broken, and others couldn’t use their left arms.
She tried to operate the devices to transmit location information to headquarters, but they were unresponsive, apparently damaged by the crash impact.
Then a warning sound echoed inside the vessel.
Beep─.
“What? What’s that warning sound?”
When the pilot with the broken arm asked, another coworker who checked the control panel said.
“It says something has connected to the external hatch, but that can’t be right?! It must be getting crushed starting from the parts that popped out due to water pressure!”
Screech─.
Creak─.
Then, with a sound like scraping metal, the bulkhead door connecting the external hatch and the vessel interior opened.
What came through the door were men wearing orange one-piece work clothes.
“Don’t worry. We’re the rescue team.”
The astronauts, unable to accept whether this impossible situation was real, remained frozen, blinking their eyes without even being able to feel happy.
How could a rescue team open the hatch and come when a crashed spacecraft had plunged into the sea?
Then, between the men who had opened the door, a man in black clothes entered.
It was Cha Su-hyeon.
“···Yu-jeong.”
The moment Hong Yu-jeong heard his voice, she felt so happy yet at the same time her heart ached as if it would tear apart.
She knew who he was the moment she saw him.
Though quite some time had passed, his face was almost exactly the same.
Tears flowed endlessly from Hong Yu-jeong’s eyes as she approached Cha Su-hyeon.
“···Su-hyeon, it must have been really hard being alone for so long, painful, and lonely, right?”
She couldn’t even dare to imagine what path he had walked.
But Cha Su-hyeon smiled brightly looking at Hong Yu-jeong like that.
“I told you I would definitely come find you. I won’t cry. It’s a happy day.”
He was clearly smiling, but contrary to his words, tears were also streaming down Cha Su-hyeon’s cheeks.
At that moment, Chrissy Monroe’s music that filled the theater reached its climax with intense violin sounds.
The audience listened to the music filled with ‘long waiting’ and ‘yearning’ while recalling the two’s journey so far, and emotions naturally surged up.
And just as everyone hoped, Hong Yu-jeong ran to Cha Su-hyeon.
Hong Yu-jeong jumped up, wrapped her legs around Cha Su-hyeon’s waist, climbed up, embraced him tightly, and kissed him.
Movie “Moon” End.
***
The cast actors who had been watching from the front seats came forward while watching the ending credits.
Applause poured out for those actors.
Hong A-yoon was moved that the movie she starred in had been screened, and having lived as Hong Yu-jeong for several months, she couldn’t hold back tears as her emotions synchronized while watching the screen.
And in the audience seats, Son Jin-wook looked at Yeon-woo with a grin and said to Jin Yu-han sitting next to him.
“Yeon-woo is quite a sly guy.”
“Why?”
“Well, I clearly asked him when we started filming and he said there were no kiss scenes. But he went and did it so passionately twice like that.”
Jin Yu-han chuckled after hearing Son Jin-wook’s words.
“Senior. Still, what do you mean by ‘went and did it’?”
“Hehe, don’t you know slang? It’s a new word.”
Jin Yu-han scratched his head.
“···Is that really a new word?”
Meanwhile, Han Byeol and Jung Su-yeon sitting behind them already had their eyes turned bright red.
“Ah, I’m so relieved it’s a happy ending.”
They had been anxious throughout, worried it might end with them remaining in different time periods, longing for each other.
Watching those two, Seo Ji-eun sitting next to them grinned.
“Aww, did our little bunnies cry?”
“Ji-eun unnie, your eyes are the reddest among the three of us though?”
That afternoon, articles written by movie critics and reporters began appearing on the internet.
– [MovieLight] Ryu Yeon-woo’s romance was definitely different. Movie “Moon” advance screening Preview.
Our reporters who rushed to see the authentic romance starring ‘actor Ryu Yeon-woo’, who always brings new winds to the Korean film industry, couldn’t help but shake their heads after finishing the movie.
This was definitely a scam.
Classifying it as just a simple romance would be undermining the grand narrative this movie contains.
The trailer wasn’t much of a preview.
The movie that started with the meeting of two people capturing their fresh twenty-year-old summer was···.
– Review after attending movie “Moon” screening, 5.0 stars! [No spoilers]
– Meeting heart-fluttering freshness. Discovering actress Hong A-yoon with new charm. [Movie “Moon”]
Mostly positive reviews, articles, and columns were posted on the internet one after another.
Fans struggling with the flood of teasers three days before the official release date could only pray for time to pass quickly.
– [Kkyutube] : Ahhh time is dragging so slowly, I wanna go watch it quickly pleaseee ㅜㅜㅠ
└ [GameMechaHong√] : For now I recommend games called Civilization or Football Manager. I’ll come back out to the world in 3 days
└ [FirstLastName] : Why are you coming out here, hyung?
└ [Mungchi] : He’s real
– [MayonnaiseSauce] : I should go to the movie theater after a long time. Do I need tissues for this movie?
└ [Roar] : They say it’s a happy ending! But you’ll need to wipe sweat after seeing Yeon-woo’s face, so you should bring some!
└ [AegyoCompany] : Fans, stop with the fangirling comments…
└ [Jay☆] : What about your username? Stop hiding your identity
└ [Deer Antler Corporation] : Busted lol
While Saebyeol Media’s first movie “Moon” was burning with anticipation like this, Saebyeol Entertainment wasn’t sitting idle either.
– [EnSports News] Jin Yu-han signs shocking contract with Saebyeol Entertainment! Shares meals with Ryu Yeon-woo and Son Jin-wook.
– [NewsPick] Following Jin Yu-han, now Han So-hyeon too. Saebyeol Ent is now truly a new star in name and reality. Joins the ranks of major agencies.
– [Citizen Economy] IP war triggered by global OTT. What is Saebyeol Entertainment’s future value? Will they go public?
You have to row when the tide comes in, don’t you?
CEO Jeong Hyeok took advantage of the attention focused on Saebyeol due to the movie release news, consecutively landing major contracts and firmly establishing Saebyeol’s name in the entertainment industry and among the public.
Perhaps because he had learned so much about business acumen from CEO Kim Ju-seong over his shoulder, Jeong Hyeok now showed signs of becoming quite seasoned.
***
Meanwhile, Saebyeol wasn’t the only one rowing.
The night the preview screening was held.
In the northwestern Okinawa waters, Kim Su-hyeok and Park Jung-hyeon were literally rowing on a rubber boat.
They had separately taken out the items needed for the Okinawa operation from the goods ordered from Brazil, received them in international waters, then entered the coastal waters by motor before quietly rowing to land on the island.
– We have reached the operation target point. We will hide the items until D-day.
“Good work. Erase your traces and stand by.”
Han Hae-woon gave Kim Su-hyeok the standby order and then reported to Yeon-woo.
Yeon-woo’s smartphone rang as he was resting at home after the preview screening ended.
– Han Hae-woon: The items have arrived at the target point.
Yeon-woo nodded after seeing the message and replied.
– Got it. I’ll initiate the operation soon, so stand by.
– Han Hae-woon: Yes. I’ve given those instructions.
He was planning to go to Okinawa for a reward vacation using the movie as an excuse.
‘Somehow I end up doing one job every time I go abroad.’
Berlin, São Paulo, Okinawa.
‘It’s a bit unfair if I can’t even enjoy myself on an overseas trip.’
He remembered Hawaii, where he had gone for a reward vacation after filming “Summer’s Wardrobe.”
Son Jin-wook, Han So-hyeon, An Jun-ho who were with him then, and the other actors he met afterward.
Now they’re all under Saebyeol.
It seemed like he should take a ‘real vacation’ with the Saebyeol actors once the currently filming drama “Parabola” ended.
