Survival Records of 3650 Days in the Otherworld

Chapter 28: A change

Joonbum prepared hot rice and started cooking five fried eggs. He topped the rice with half-cooked eggs and added leftover vegetables.

"Seaweed powder, sesame, red chili paste, and sesame oil!"

A good smell filled the area that even made Galfus sniff at it. Joonbum started mixing the contents inside the big pot with his spoon. The half-cooked yolk melted into the rice as the egg whites were crushed and scattered, mixed with the vegetables and rice. Sesame oil glistened on top everything while it let out a delicious aroma.

Joonbum's mouth grew watery as he continued mixing it.

"Ah!"

He let out a moan as he felt his mouth that was filled with saliva. He started eating, and each spoonful brought him happiness. Pretty soon, his big bowl was empty.

Joonbum let out a loud burp and took out a can of beer. It was like heaven.

"This is great!"

Joonbum shoved the can towards the camera once and then started drinking it.

When he was done with the food, the area was now dim with darkness. Joonbum looked around while he drank the beer and walked up to the basket.

"Hehe."

The cubs were whining inside, moving around the basket as if it was now too small. Their whining grew louder as Joonbum started to scrub them.

"Hey, it's Daddy. Daddy."

He grinned as the cubs seemed to realize who was touching them. He then picked up the basket and walked towards Galfus. She opened her eyes as Joonbum approached her.

"I know you don't care about them, but let them sleep by your side at night."

He took out the cubs one by one and shoved them under Galfus. They whined for a moment but soon dug into Galfus' fur as if they had noticed something.

'Do they know?'

They seemed to know where they had to go instinctively.

"Good night."

Joonbum spoke softly and went up to his treehouse with a can of beer and dried squid.

"Nice!"

He sat down and looked far out into the forest. It was dark. It was so dark that even the night sky was brighter. As the night grew, stars began to appear, filling the entire sky. An unparalleled number of stars filled the sky. The moon that rose up also shined brightly.

It was beautiful.

"Maybe this is another Earth?"

An idea struck him. Maybe it was a world from that of a storybook.

"Maybe it's Earth from another dimension."

Joonbum thought for a while, but shook it away as he could not recognize any of constellations in the sky. The weather was similar, but that was it.

"It's not even close."

He opened up another can of beer and continued drinking it. He also did not forget to eat the dried squid.

"This is so good."

It was good. It was really good. It was night time, but there was no more fear. On the contrary, he was even excited at all the strange noises that came from the forest.

"Is it because of Galfus?"

He turned his eyes at Galfus, who was sound asleep down below. The giant figure was silently there. The sense of protection that Galfus brought grew even stronger at night. Joonbum smiled while looking at her.
