"...you love getting beat up..."

A familiar guy with hair that resembles a coconut smiled, a hand held the back of his head. The rest of the other guys were also smiling innocently behind him.

I huffed out a sigh, preparing myself for another quest.  It's been a long time since I crashed these kids' hopes and dreams.

"Ofcourse...you forgot about us..." 

Haha, no. The lot of you always haunts me in my sleep. Especially Sangcheol.

But instead of responding, I kept quiet as I stared at them, trying to look for someone that I had to specifically beat.

Where is he?

Their friendly expressions vanished as it got replaced by their true intentions. A vein popped by the side of Dongjin's face—

Crap, why do I remember this yellow guy's name too?!

"So you forgot about us, huh? You motherfucker."

"We're here to avenge our bro Sangcheol's untimely end."

I narrowed my eyes, seeing a perfectly alive Sangcheol just behind him. "Yeah? Then who's that?"

Pointing at him, the latter pointed a thumb to himself too. "Sup? I'm Sangcheol Park. My MBTI is ENFP." I stared at him blankly, not sure of what I should react to his random introduction.

Again with the MBTI. I know no shit!

Before I can try to comment about it, a notification from the system caught my attention.

[System]

Fight and Defeat Thugs
Thug Boss [0/1]
Thug Henchman [0/5]

Reward:
1 silver card

I can't really be bothered by these quests anymore. I'll have to do it whether I want to or not anyway. Besides, there's a reward! Beating the crap out of them is going to be worth the stress.

Original Suhyeon thought that the quest should be easy to complete since he managed to win against them before, but he's wrong.

Here's why.

"You bastard." Dongjin grinned as if he is proud, but it kinda looks annoying too. "Guess who we brought with us this time.'

I blinked my eyes, standing infront to cover Chaerin behind me. Rather than prepare my stance and get tensed, I chose to be calm and assess the situation.

And upon hearing his question, I knew the guy they brought along is the same guy I'm trying to look for since the moment they appeared here. But if I guess it right, they might think I'm suspicious.

So I ended up asking. "Who?"

"Outta my way."

"Yes, sir!"
