“I see a separation in your future. Three times, in fact.”

Go Seok-jun had scoffed at the words of a charlatan he’d met by chance on the street, but as if it were a lie come true, his wife served him divorce papers and he received disciplinary action at work.

“This year, it’d be dangerous for you to go near water.”

Despite the charlatan’s warning, Go Seok-jun is demoted to Yongju County, a small seaside city—his hometown where he was born and raised. And there before him appears Baek Sang-eun, the son of his older brother’s friend whom he’d cared for in childhood, even changing his diapers. The boy who used to follow him around calling “Uncle, Uncle” has become a fine man, unimaginably so.

“As long as Auntie doesn’t catch us, it’s fine, isn’t it?”

His head already aching enough, Baek Sang-eun makes an absurd demand of Go Seok-jun. He will escape this tiresome sea and return to the city no matter what. Even if there’s someone clinging to him, crying and begging him not to go.
