People on the hospital ship were watching the news at lunchtime.
The news was talking about the Coast Guard and illegal Chinese fishing boats two days ago.
The incident in which an illegal fishing boat carried a gun and the Coast Guard fired hundreds of M60s was widely dealt with by South Korean and Chinese media.
South Korea has taken issue with illegal Chinese fishing boats having guns, while China has taken issue with the firing of hundreds of M60s on its fishing boats.
Besides, there was a shooting when the Coast Guard arrested the crew. But that's what happened when the crew held guns and resisted.
Besides, the Coast Guard was shot. In China, however, shooting at a crew member, excluding the information on him, was a form of over-suppression.
Korean netizens began editing the news and putting subtitles on the Internet and YouTube.
As if they are asking if it is over-suppression. Chinese netizens began to respond by squeezing the images of the M60 and fishing boats spouting black smoke.
As a result, there were many stories about him in the news and a series of videos taken during the capture of illegal fishing boats were aired.
It was Jong-seok that made him famous. He was already a famous chef on TV and showed off his martial arts skills in action movies.
This time, however, people are interested in the fact that he showed his ability to knock down six sailors.
Kang In-cheol, who was watching the news, ate up his appetite.
"I was there too..."
"I heard you were crouching on one side."
Kang In-cheol sighed at nurse Kwon Ji-hyun's words.
"If I had known it would be an issue like this, I would have swung my fist."
"Hey! You said you almost peed two days ago. What are you doing?"
"That's what I'm saying."
Kwon Ji-hyun smiled at Kang In-cheol's words and looked at the kitchen.
"How do you feel as a hero?"
When Kwon Ji-hyun said, Jong-seok, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, laughed.
"What are you... The real heroes were the Coast Guard that day.”
After finishing the dishes with a smile, Jong-seok sat next to Lim Ae-hee, wiping his hands.
"How does it taste?"
"It's delicious... But don't do that next time. How could you stand up to someone with a knife like that?"
Jong-seok showed his biceps by looking at Lim Ae-hee, who repeated what he said whenever news came out.
"How strong am I?"
"But... how worried would your parents be if you got hurt.”
"What about your grandmother?"
"I'm worried, of course."
Jong-seok smiled at Im Ae-hee and said while watching the meal.
"Is there anything you want to eat?”
"You eat better than home."
Jong-seok nodded at Lim Ae-hee's words. Perhaps because Choi Hyun's company fully supported the cost of corrosion, the food on the hospital ship was very abundant.
And there are many fishing boats that throw fish... There was nothing left to eat at will.
Thanks to that, the kitchen was rather busy.
Woooong! Woooong!
Jong-seok, who saw his cell phone in vibration, turned it upside down. When it cut off the phone, Kang In-cheol glanced at him.
"Interview?"
"It keeps coming. To bother."
"Why don't you just give it a try?"
"It takes a lot of time."
"How many questions do I have to answer?”
Kwon Ji-hyun, who was next to Kang In-chul, also nodded.
"Why don't you just do it? When you do, tell me about our hospital ship."
Jong-seok shook his head at the two men's words.
"To explain... There are four big broadcasters in our country. There are cable news and current affairs planning teams. The TV side alone will have to do at least 15 to 20 interviews. Even if it's a little short, it'll take twenty minutes each, and then about four hundred."
"Why don't you just do one or two?”
"If you do one or two, other stations don't like it. Then bad news about me could come out."
"Really?"
"Of course. There's something that's a little bit of a little bit of course. It's a crime of contempt. But that's not the end. Newspapers, magazines, Internet news sites, etc. If we do everything we ask for, we'll probably have to do two nights and three days of interviews."
"I see."
Kang In-cheol nodded as if he had never noticed it. But the face was full of envy.
It would be a big hit if we set up an oriental medical clinic with such a topic.
'I should have done something then. Sigh!'
But even if he went back to that time, Kang would still be lying on his stomach.
The situation at that time was frightening, even now that I think about it. The Chinese sailors were so scared.
Especially when I think about it now...
Then Kang In-cheol, who was reminded of fear again, trembled and woke up.
"Thank you for the meal."
"Mr. Kang, aren't you going to eat more?"
Kang In-cheol shook his head at Tak Jae-young's words, took the plate to the kitchen, and turned away.
Tak Jae-young glanced at the window and said as Jong-seok was cleaning the plates people ate in the kitchen.
"I'll do that, so get off the deck."
"The deck?"
"Jeju Island from here is fine."
"Do you see Jeju Island?"
"Yes, go out."
At Tak Jae-young's words, Jong-seok took off his rubber gloves and went out to the deck. On the deck, medical staff and idle sailors were already looking at Jeju Island with chairs.
"I was going to call you.”
Jong-seok smiled at Lim Ae-hee and looked at Jeju Island with his hands touching her shoulders.
"That's Jeju Island."
"It would be more beautiful at sunrise or sunset."
"I know."
Jong-seok, who was happy to see Lim Ae-hee and Jeju Island, suddenly entered the room.
Then Jong-seok, carrying out his notes, let Im Ae-hee stand on the railing and began sketching with her in the background of Jeju Island.
Sweep! Sweep!
Lim Ae-hee was putting a picture of Jong-seok sketching on one side of the clinic with a pleasant face.
"Do you like it?”
Lim Ae-hee smiled and nodded at Huh Pyung-ji's words.
"Yes."
At Im Ae-hee's smile, Heo Pyeong-ji looked at her in a good mood and pulled out a container containing the bodyguard from the drawer.
"Let's take some medicine."
When Heo Pyung-ji took the medicine out of the barrel, Lim Ae-hee took it, swallowed it in her mouth, and looked at the painting still.
"I'd like you to connect me to Jung-sook and Jong-seok.”
The word "honesty" laughed Heo Pyung-ji. Jung Sook was Heo Yul's daughter and Heo Pyung-ji's granddaughter.
"Jung-sook is two years older than Jong-seok."
"You know, there are a lot of older people these days.”
"Well, that's true, but... But Jongseok has a girlfriend.”
"You're not getting married to your girlfriend."
"Look at him... Jongseok will be sad to hear that. Jong-seok seems to be getting along well with his girlfriend."
"Just... yes.”
Seeing Lim muttering small while looking at the painting, Heo Pyeong-ji smiled and held her hand.
"Live a long, long life anyway. So if Jong-seok breaks up with his girlfriend, isn't our Jung-sook going to push you?"
"I know. These days... I really want to live a long life. If Jong-seok gives birth to a son, I want to hug him."
"Your grandchildren will be sad to hear it. These days, Jong-seok is more like a grandchild than Jung-sook and Jung-nam."
"They're my grandchildren.”
"Then who do you prefer? Jung Sook, Jung Nam, Jong Suk?"
Lim Ae-hee, who had not spoken for a while at the question of Heo Pyung-ji, smiled and looked at him.
"Do you remember being a Los Angeles sister when you were young?”
"Of course I remember."
It was the most popular female trio in the 70s and 80s. Even though she was married to Im Ae-hee, Heo Pyeong-ji had hung the group photo on one side of the clinic.
"Which of the three do you like best?"
At Lim Ae-hee's question, Heo Pyung-ji ate up her appetite.
"I can't go."
Lim Ae-hee smiled and took her hand to the side of him.
"Yay!"
When Lim Ae-hee pinched, Heo Pyung-ji screamed and pressed her side with her hands.
"What's wrong?"
"That's what you're gonna say in front of your wife? You should say I'm the best."
"Ah!"
"You don't know him."
"You told me not to lie to you."
"Still."
When Im Ae-hee took her hand to the side again, Heo Pyung-ji hurriedly stepped back.
"You still have finger strength at your age."
Lim Ae-hee smiled at Huh Pyung-ji's words and looked at the picture.
"That's what Jong-seok says. It's just like my finger."
At Im Ae-hee's words, Heo Pyung-ji looked at the picture while looking at her.
"Finger..."
Ten fingers... No matter what finger you bite, there is no finger that doesn't hurt.
For Lim Ae-hee, Jong-seok is such a being.
***
The hospital ship's schedule is six days past. Originally, it was a 10-day schedule, but due to the Coast Guard and the storm, the schedule was delayed for two days.
Nevertheless, the hospital ship did not move in a hurry or hurry. Hospital ship schedules can be delayed for a day or two depending on the original weather.
And today I was staying in Marado, the southernmost part of Korea. There is no reason for a hospital ship to enter Marado because a health center is located, but since there is no oriental medical clinic, they stop by and give medical treatment to those who need oriental medical treatment.
And since I've been living in the sea for a week, I can rest with my feet on the ground for a while.
On a hospital ship anchored in Marado dock, the sound of taking pictures began to roar as people prepared to take their medical bags down.
Click! Click!
Cameras that appeared to be people from the broadcasting station began to take pictures of the hospital line with the sound.
"What's going on here?"
When Park saw people taking pictures with curious faces, Jong-seok's appetite was palatable.
Judging from the situation, they were the ones who came to cover.
Are you here to cover Marado? That's great.'
Jong-seok, who was looking at the reporters, turned his head toward Kang In-cheol after a while.
"Would you like to interview me?”
"Will you?"
Jong-seok nodded his head at Kang In-cheol's welcome and looked at the reporters.
If you come to Marado, the southernmost part of Korea, and camp out, reporters will flock to schools or licensed clinics until the news is quiet or for some time.
Rather, interviewing and giving them the answers they wanted could prevent them from being bothered.
Reporters are uninvited guests who ask them to go.
Jong-seok was interviewing Kang in the background of the hospital line.
"Then how did Lee Jong-seok get on the patrol boat?”
Jong-seok tapped Kang In-cheol, and he opened his mouth with a slightly nervous face.
"That... Jong-seok... No, Lee Jong-seok is a tough guy! I got on board to treat the Coast Guard officers who were injured in the process of arresting illegal fishing crew. I'm Kang In Chul, an oriental doctor. We boarded the patrol boat together to help me."
A reporter who asked Kang In-chul's answer, not Jong-seok, frowned and said again.
"Then can you explain the situation in detail at the time?"
"at the time..."
Kang In-cheol tried to answer again, and the reporter slipped toward Jong-seok.
"Can't Mr. Lee Jong-seok answer for you?"
"At that time, I was out of my mind and couldn't remember very well. But Mr. Kang is probably more aware of the situation than I am because he was treating patients. Keep talking."
Kang In-cheol began to explain the situation at that time when Jong-seok said. In recording the story, the reporters only ate their fillings.
I can't get any comments from Lee Jong-seok.’
He is trying to get Lee Jong-seok's comment, not to let people know the situation at the time.
Who doesn't know what happened then? With the interviews that the Coast Guard did at the time coming out every time they turned on the TV?
All the reporters wanted was Jong-seok to tell them about the situation at the time.
A reporter who thought Kang In-cheol could not answer the question hurriedly asked.
"Then why is Lee Jong-seok on the hospital ship?”
When asked by one reporter, he nodded as if the other reporters had done a good job.
Kang In-chul won't be able to speak.’
And as they thought, Jong-seok took the microphone and opened his mouth.
"You know, I'm a cook and a college student in oriental medicine. Meanwhile, I heard about the hospital ship from Choi Hyun, the manager of Busan Shipping Planning Team. "A floating hospital on the sea for Nakdo residents who are unable to receive medical benefits..."
When Jong-seok turned around, the reporters' cameras followed the gaze and close-up the hospital ship.
Then Jong-seok, who turned his head again, continued to talk looking at the camera.
"I got on the boat because I wanted to share and serve what I know through a hospital ship. Of course, I'm a student now, so I'm on a boat as a cook rather than as a medical aid."
"So you're still thinking of getting on the hospital ship?”
"Even if I want to, how can I guarantee a person's future? But now my heart is that I want to give a little help to people who don't get medical care if they're on a hospital ship."
Reporters nodded at Jong-seok's words and quickly typed the contents and began to send articles in real time.
