Dakota looked flatly at his fish bucket, where only one small fish seemed to swim freely, in contrast to Brian's bucket, which appeared to be crowded with fish so that the movement of the fish seemed limited.Brian glanced at Dakota, noticing the glum look on her face. "Fishing does require patience, but that's not all. Fishing also requires skill." He spoke relaxed, seemingly enjoying his time looking out at the vast ocean.Dakota turned his head towards him. He noticed the middle-aged man nearby. "Yeah, it doesn't look as easy as I thought," Dakota admitted honestly. He pulled out his fishing rod and then checked his bait, which disappeared again without any hooking. "They've been stealing my bait ever since."Dakota's remark elicits a chuckle from Brian, who glances at him reeling in his bait, then tosses the fishing rod into the ocean water again. "Nothing is easy to do, even if it looks easy and simple." Brian encouraged him. "I learned a lot while fishing by analogizing it to li
"Where exactly is he?" Anna complained, a lackluster look on her face. She leaned on the desk in D&Na's office in a huff. She had been in that state for days. She was not in a good mood because of Dakota.It's been 2 months since Dakota's meeting with her family, and suddenly, Dakota just disappeared without any explanation. Anna tried to contact her, but there was no answer.Even the work at D&Na was all she did because Dakota never responded to the reports she sent. Because of his sudden disappearance, Anna couldn't stop thinking strange thoughts. She had asked her father what they did that day to find out what happened. But she didn't say that Dakota disappeared and couldn't be contacted. She was worried that her father would misunderstand and dislike Dakota.But she was distraught. "How can she not contact me at all." She slapped her hand on the table surface lightly. "Doesn't he think I'm important? That he can't even tell me?" Anna held back her sadness. Then, a worried look app
"What are you talking about?" The stocky man named Thomas turned his face somewhat awkwardly at the girl who had come with him earlier.The girl named Jane looked back at Thomas for a few moments. They were both in astonishment and then laughed together and looked at Dakota.Jane looked at Dakota while snorting a laugh. "He's a married man, you say?" Jane gave Dakota a dismissive look. "And I'm his mistress? What kind of woman do you think I am to have an affair with someone's husband." Jane didn't know the facts about Thomas.Thomas, on the other hand, was grateful that Jane didn't believe Dakota's words. He laughed beside Jane. "He's probably hallucinating or just saw a play and got so carried away that he can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality." Thomas held Jane close. They seemed unaffected by Dakota's words.Jane looks at him with an appraising gaze. Then, a mocking laugh escapes her thin lips. "Or it turns out this guy is single and said something like that becaus
"Why the traffic jam now?" He stared at the line of cars crowding the road in front of her with annoyance. It wasn't yet the end of working hours, so the roads would be a little slower until then."It looks like there was an accident up ahead. I heard them say to contact the medics immediately." Someone stood beside Dakota's car, approached the driver, and talked to the passenger before him. Dakota turned her gaze towards them.The man beside the stranger turned his head. "Was it a bad accident? The road is completely blocked off.""That's what it looks like, multiple accidents. So the road is closed. It will probably take several hours to evacuate until help arrives." After hearing that, Dakota became curious, and she got out of her car.Without glancing at the two people staring at her at that glance, Dakota continued to walk forward until he saw what had happened. "It's awful." Dakota's eyelids opened perfectly to stare at several private vehicles seemingly crashing into each other
"What about that guy's condition? Is he okay?" Dakota sat down while tapping her fingers on the table. He had just arrived home because his body was covered in blood from the victim he had brought, Dakota cleaned his body, and now his thoughts returned to the victim.He was still amazed at what happened, at how he could heal the victim of the accident and make the victim able to breathe correctly when previously the victim seemed to have difficulty breathing.Dakota held his head, slightly throbbing from trying to force his abilities like before. "What exactly were those dots of light I saw earlier?" He stood up and walked in the other direction, approaching the refrigerator. Opening the door and taking out a glass bottle filled with cold water, he poured it and drank it in one gulp. "Is that part of my evolved ability, or... What exactly?" He stared in surprise at the television and reported on the accident he had just been in.In the news report, he could also catch a glimpse of him
"You studied about medical science?" James looked interested, his eyes looking at Dakota more intensely. "Are you a student in medical science?" He hadn't heard that in the report on Dakota given by his aide.Dakota shook his head. "No, I'm not a student in any medical science." He doesn't want to rub the man the wrong way and think he's lying. Obviously, he apologized for checking Dakota's background, so James must know what he's majoring in.The man became even more curious, if not health science in the field of medicine, than what Dakota studied, and he could amaze the doctor with the results of his help. "Then where did you learn it?" he emphasized further curiosity about Dakota's abilities.Dakota thought for a moment; he also didn't know the answer because he never studied that kind of science. He could just suddenly see spots that needed treatment. Then, when pressing it, something happened to the man's body, and he remembered something. In the past, he, who didn't have any boo
"What's going on?" Dakota approached the man standing before the box car, facing his fence. Dakota had difficulty getting inside because the box car was blocking the entrance. "Please put your car somewhere else. I want to get in." Dakota pointed at his house and explained to the man in the hat in front of him.The man approached Dakota, hearing that Dakota wanted to enter the house. "What are you, Mr. Dakota?" He waited for Dakota's answer.Dakota moved his head in confusion. One day there were already two people who came to his house looking for him, suddenly he was busy after 2 months before he hadn't met anyone at all, even the courier who delivered his food order, he asked to leave his food at the door because he couldn't go straight out to get it.Dakota nodded. "Yeah, right, what's wrong?"The man then smiled at him. "I was asked to deliver some things to the house, you. So can I drop off where the items are?" The man, whose appearance was quite friendly, asked Dakota for direc
"Mr. Dakota, you should come to this party. The great master is waiting for you." Dakota saw a black invitation in the man's hand with gold ornaments on the edges of the thick invitation. Then suddenly, Dakota woke up from his sleep.Dakota scrunched his eyes, rubbing his sore eyes. He tried to recall the dream in his sleep earlier. "I dreamt about something weird." Dakota pulled back the covers and got out of bed. "Who was waiting for me, and whose invitation was it?" He tried to remember the name on the invitation, but he only retained the shape of the invitation. "Never mind."He left her room, heading for the bathroom to wash his face, brush his teeth, and ensure his facial hair was clean. Then he opened his refrigerator. "I'm not in the mood to cook today." He mumbled, looking at his fridge full of ingredients.Since he had cooked last night, he felt lazy. Cooking was quite simple, but sometimes, he was reluctant to do it. Everything else was still intact besides the ribeye he ma
