A few minutes walk from the coast, where the tide sweeps rocks and sand and occasionally a crab into the sea, sits an old shipwreck on a cliff. Despite its serious damage, it looked cheery and cosy. A small door had been fitted into it. Inside this calm abode, however, are millions of animals. Every corner of the main hall teems with the sounds of the animal kingdom. Many small doors have been fitted into the wood, and from one emerged a tall young man, who's grey hair shines as brightly as the sea outside.

Perching itself on Namjoon's arm again, it dropped something on his other hand. Namjoon looked at it curiously. It was a piece from a very complex motherboard. Thinking that it was one of the aliens' stuff, Namjoon dropped it and went back up the cliff. On the way, however, he could have sworn that he saw another boy hiding behind it...
