Jong Hoon came home drinking beer again. "The John Ryans Theory." He read on his laptop. "John Ryans keeps insisting that we used to live in a different world in 2008. Then we moved to the world we live in now with completely different lives." He continued. He stopped for a second and burst out into laughter. "What's happening to this world?" He said. "What's all this nonsense?"

As Sol was sleeping, she had a bad dream. She started getting so sweaty.
"Seonsaengnim!" She yelled out of nowhere as she was dreaming. She woke up and sat down, trying to catch her breath.

"Unnie, gwaenchanayo?" Byeol, who was lying down beside her, asked. "You said 'seonsaengnim' again."

"I did?" She tried recalling her dream. She had just dreamt about Kang Mae seeing Ru Mi die right in front of his eyes.

Her phone suddenly vibrated. So she checked what it was.

Yang-gyosunim
