"This is the place."

They arrived at the place. However they were met with someone with a white coat that was designed slightly differently than Kim Dokja.

Cha Haemin frowned.

'I don't think he is the leader.'

The man called out to Lee Jihye. The man has bandages around one of his hands and white hair. Wait, she knew who he was but she couldn't remember the name.

"Do you know him?"

She whispered to Kim Dokja.

"Kim Namwoon."

Ah, finally her brain clicked. The chunnibyo, the original incarnation sponsored by the black dragon.

"I don't think he is the leader."

"Me too."

When Lee Jihye talked to Kim Namwoon, they finally knew. This guy had stolen their master's coat. Lee Jihye entered the building.

Kim Namwoon saw Kim Dokja and started to pick a fight with him. But his target changed after he saw Yoo Joonghyuk.

"Let's go."

Kim Dokja motioned for her to get inside the building and ignoring Kim Namwoon. She just followed him along with Yoo Joonghyuk to enter the building.

Suddenly a bed carrying a patient gets rushed in from the large door next to them. Kim Dokja was mistaken as the doctor because of his white coat.

Kim Dokja saw another familiar face, it was Lee Seolhwa.

"I don't know what exactly happened in this round."

Kim Dokja voiced his thoughts.

"We'll know sooner or later."

Kim Dokja nodded but then he frowned when he noticed something.

"Why are you still holding his hand?"

"Huh?"

She looked below and saw her own hand holding onto Yoo Joonghyuk's.

"Because I don't want to lose him. Gotta keep him by my side."

"He won't run away, Haemin."

"Well, precaution."

He wanted to slap away those joint hands but he grabbed her other free hand instead.

“Hey Ahjussi, Ahjumma, what are you doing? Come along quickly! Bring Yoo Joonghyuk with you!”

Lee Jihye emerged from the stairs.

An irk mark appeared on her forehead with the way Lee Jihye called her. She was self conscious that she could've been in her 40s almost 50 now if she added her previous age but it still hurts her pride.

Kim Dokja, Cha Haemin and Yoo Joonghyuk followed her up the stairs while holding hands.

'What is this situation?'

How did they end up holding hands like this? Let's just ignore this absurdity.

While climbing the stairs, they watched over the situation outside. The destruction of Seoul was inevitable in the 95th scenario however there are more amazing things that happened in this scenario that he nor she ever read about in Ways of Survival.

People who should've died were alive. Kim Dokja can't comprehend this situation.

A light squeeze of his hand brought him back from his throbbing head.
