As Cale smirked, he felt a hand tugging his sleeve. He turned to look for who it was and realised it was Kim Namwoon. He had forgotten. He was still just a kid. Kim Namwoon looked at Cale with a panicked face.
Cale's hand reaches to stroke Kim Namwoon's hair to calm him down. It seemed to work as the grip loosened. Cale glances forward at that moment, he was observing Kim Dokja.
The people in the train reacted differently when the dokkaebi disappeared. Some tried getting out of the train, while others tried calling the police. There were people who were just sitting at their place bawling their eyes out while muttering the words, "I don't want to die! " or "We're going to die!"
"Police, the police aren't answering! What, what should I…"
"Calm down, Yoo Sangah-ssi,"
I said as I looked straight into Yoo Sangah's eyes, she slowly calmed down.
"D-Dokja-ssi.. What should we-"
"Come on, everybody! Everybody calm down. Start breathing calmly."
A man stepped forward and spoke. He looked sturdy and had short cut hair, he seemed taller than the average height.
"Are you calm yet? Please stop your actions and pay attention to me for a moment."
"As you know, in the event of a national disaster, small disturbances can cause large human casualties. That's why I will now control the situation."
"What, who are you?"
"A national disaster situation? What are you saying?"
After some questions from the people, the man pulled out a government official card out of his wallet.
"I am currently an army lieutenant serving in the 6502 unit."
Many peoples faces became relieved at that.
"A soldier, he is a soldier."
"I just received a message from my unit."
"Soldier-nim! What is happening?"
"I have been trying to contact my unit, but…"
"The Blue House! What is the Blue House doing? Please contact the president quickly!"
"I'm sorry. I am just an ordinary soldier and don't have a hotline to the Blue House."
"Then why are you taking control?"
"For the sake of the safety of all citizens…"
Before the man could finish, someone interrupted.
"The prime minister is making a speech! It is really a level one disaster!"
As they heard that, everyone turned on their smartphones. And Yoo Sangah who was beside me turned hers on as well.
"…Dokja-ssi, look at this."
–To all my fellow citizens, unidentified terrorists are currently active in an unspecified number of areas, including Seoul.
"But where is the president? Why is the prime minister making the speech?"
"The president has already been hit."
"What? Really?"
"I'm not sure. A Naver comment―"
"Shit, then it is fake!"
"Uwaaaaack! What?"
There were sounds of gunshots and everyone dropped their phones. Blood filled their entire screen. Everyone turned silent in an instant.
