"Kim Dokja that was great! Did you see his face?! Priceless!" (Y/n) has her hand up in the air. Kim Dokja hesitantly raised his own hand and the both of them high fived.

[ The constellation 'Serpent of Eden' asked if you're bipolar ]

[ The constellation 'Princess of Self-Ruin' is confused about how you can change emotions easily]

"What? Isn't she feral earlier? Now she's on a good mood?" Asked Jung Heewon.

"I think you might not be so bad after all." (Y/n) patted Kim Dokja's back.

"You think I was bad?" He asked.

"I thought of you as a threat. And that impression still remains." And now. . . she's serious again.

"After everything?" Kim Dokja asked in disbelief.

"Everything? Nothing even happened." (Y/n) said.

[ The constellation 'Chrysalis' is confused with your relationship ]

[ The constellation 'Spirit of Chaos' cackled ]

"Why do you see me as a threat?" He asked.

"Because I don't know you. Everyone here is a threat to me but you're the only one who I think can cause severe damage so far. So, I'm watching you, Kim Dokja." She even gestured that she will keep an eye on him.

[ The constellation 'Serpent of Eden' is curious of the coming future]

"What is going on? Aren't they on good terms just literally seconds ago?" Jung Heewon asked, confused.

"I have no idea. . " Yoo Sangah replied from beside Jung Heewon.

"Dokja-ssi, do you think it's a good choice?" Lee Hyunsung asked, pertaining to the 'trade' declaration.

"Sheesh, is there anything free in life? Dokja-ssi, you said it well. I feel refreshed.” Jung Heewon said.

"I agree. This world becomes so messed up that even breathing well is a luxury." (Y/n) huffed, stretching her neck.

“The people here are too tame to the mainstream group.” (Y/n) added, looking around with her eyes filled with disappointment.

“That’s right. The sons of bitches…Gumho Station is currently in their palms. People are treated as cattle and are sometimes taken to a slaughterhouse. Just like myself this morning.” Jung Heewon’s body trembled.

(Y/n) patted her back, "Don't worry, they'll die soon."

"Humans were the weakest when they believed someone protected them. Once authority was established in a one-sided relationship, people started to depend on them." (Y/n) spoke again, looking far away, reminiscing on the past.

[ 200 coins has been sponsored]

'What in the— well at least there's coins'

"That son of a bitch, Cheon Inho, he's very clever to use such manipulation— although it wasn't perfect. Nonetheless I still hate him because I can not stand his fucking face. I have this strong urge to rip it off his head. But there's something stopping me, I have a feeling that he'd get what he deserves soon. . . and it wont be my doing."

(Y/n) leaned back on a wall, her gaze landed on Jung Heewon. The woman was slightly uncomfortable with the curious gaze she was giving, Yïen was intimidating at times. She gets that a lot, and it was very useful in her career as a lawyer.

It would be reasonable if the one to cause their fall was none other than Jung Heewon. The woman averted her gaze, it was as though (Y/n) was staring into her soul. She felt chills envelope her whole system.

"I believe that Dokja-ssi’s declaration today was very meaningful.  People need to have the will to do something on their own. However…” Lee Hyunsung looked towards the food.

“Not even one was sold. 50 coins for one, isn’t this price too expensive? Why don’t you make it 10 coins like you did with us…?”

“Let’s wait a little longer.”

"What is this dude planning?" Yïen asked aloud, Kim Dokja heard it although their distance is decently far. He just smiled.

Then night came.

The sound of huge monsters was heard intermittently from the ground and people often had nightmares. Lee Gilyoung and Yoo Sangah fell asleep first while Jung Heewon was dozing off.

"I'll keep watch, I've been asleep for so long earlier." Yïen declared to the two men who were awake.

"No. It's alright, (Y/n)-ssi and Dokja-ssi should sleep. I will stand vigil."

"Do you think I'd kill you in your sleep? I won't do that."

Kim Dokja held his chuckle as Lee Hyunsung's face paled.

"Huh? No that's not it!"

"Then, you think I'm unable to protect the group?"

"That's not— huh? I didn't say that! Dokja-ssi!" Lee Hyunsung called for Kim Dokja for help.

That's when both Yïen and Kim Dokja cackled, holding their stomach.

Lee Hyunsung's ears turned red from embarrassment, pointing at the two spouting words that they couldn't comprehend because of excessive silent laughing.

When they calmed down, Kim Dokja spoke, "Lee Hyunsung can sleep first, I have work to do."

"Work to do?” Kim Dokja pointed behind Lee Hyunsung.

Surprisingly, there were the shadows of people. It wasn’t just one.

“That…are you still trading the food?” Finally, the people started to move.
