I row only as far as the fare covers.

The Three-Crossing FerryTHE LEDGER D-81

When the fog sits low, the fare goes up, that's the way of it. Lately though, I find myself rowing even when no fare's been paid.

SoiIs that a running tab? Put me on it too.
Ha SeongI'll collect your tab when you cross the river.
Wi BaekFerryman, an oar pulled without a paid fare leaves no mark in the ledger.

One coin buys exactly one crossing, that's the fare. This one here still hasn't found its owner.

SoiCan't you just give that one to me?
Ha SeongYour share, I already set aside on the other bank.
King MyeongcheonA fare never collected, the ledger will one day come to ask after it.

Left elsewhere

That day the oar sat unusually heavy in my hands.

That hand of yours, waving for free like that, that's your one flaw, girl.

There were nights like that, back in the day too. Pay the fare and I'll tell you about it.

I'll keep a spot open under the boat for you, until you cross the river.
