EXPLANATION  

The story begins with a meeting where everyone takes turns talking. The main character in the story is the last one to speak: hence it is called the Seventh Man. The man described a terrible incident when he was ten years old. The typhoon in his city was followed by a real tsunami. The man related that after the typhoon struck, the city was in the whirlpool of a storm. The little seven humans were allowed to go outside to observe the damage but not go far. Yet, he wants to look beyond his yard. He and his best friend K went to the beach to see the debris.

Arriving at the beach the boy realized that something was happening in the water. Not long the big waves come to the two children. Miraculously after almost a year suffering his injuries, the boy physically survived. However, he was haunted in his dreams and thoughts by feeling guilty for the death of his friend. Forty years passed, and the man never married or found happiness. The Seventh Man states that the most miserable thing for humans is to live in alienation and fear from others.
