After a while of resting as they tried to reorganize and make sure no one was seriously injured, they needed to come to a decision. With only Jung Heewon being unconscious and Lee Gilyoung still feeling slightly shaken up by the scenario, they need to decide whether they should continue for Chungmuro as they were or play it safe and wait for Jung Heewon to wake up before making a move.

'Would we even be okay to enter Chungmuro at this rate?' Dokja worried, but his concerns were resolved by another person. A blade loomed in the darkness, but was a pure threat with no intention to harm.

"Who are you? Don't you know that this area is our hunting ground?"

In the faint light of the entrance, a girl stood holding a longsword. She looked to be 17 and was wearing a hoodie over her school uniform as if trying to hide her name tag, but her appearance was noticeable.

"Ah, this girl is..!" Yoo Sangah had keen eyes and recognized her first.

'So this must be Lee Jihye.' Cale thought.

The only survivor of Daepong GIrls High School, Lee Jihye. She was one of the reasons why the original protagonist went straight to Chungmuro in the shortest time.

"Did you guys beat the specters?" Lee Jihye discovered the stones in Kim Dokja's hand and was surprised.

Cale observed the girl in front of Kim Dokja as he looked towards Kim Namwoon.

'Originally he liked her but never got to meet her, right?' Cale thought about the information from TWSA and ORV. His eyes flitted back and forth between Lee Jihye and Kim Namwoon before he began to smile.

-Meanwhile-

"*whispers* Don't forget about that little 'talk' we had, Kim Namwoon."

"Unless you want to wake up in a ditch somewhere far away, I suggest you choose your next words wisely."

Gulp

'Like hell I will'

>>Cale: So what do you think?

>>Kim Namwoon: No
