— Ah—

    The group began to listen a bit more intently at Kim Dokja's explanation as he continued to explain the plan but Ji Hui wasn't as intreseted.

"What is the Armed Zone?"

"It's his stigma. It is optimized to defend an area."

"However his Armed Zone will be released as soon as he leaves his designated area. His mini-turrets will also become useless. Usually, there are many restrictions on such a wide defense skill."

"then how will you make him move?" Jung heewon couldn't think about how to make leave his Armed Zone.

"We have to think about that for now." Kim Dokja didn't answer her question at all.

"Ah, I hate thinking!" Jung heewon complained. She really hated thinking.

"But he won't be getting out of that green zone for a while. There are blankets, foods and even a urinal next to him." Kim Dokja remembered Gong Pildu's place.

"Damn, hasn't he become a complete shut-in? Why is refusing to move? Is he hiding something in there?" Jung heewon said in a frustrated tone.

"Gong Pildu had the largest 'room' in all of the Chungmuro station." Kim Dokja pointed out.

But they didn't have time to think about it.

[ There is one hour before the third scenario is activated. ]

"We also need to find a room." Kim Dokja stated.

The moment all of them stood they flinched at the loud shout besides Ji Hui who was resting against pancake.

"D-Don't come closer!" A man shouted inside one of the green boxes with a vicious expression as he protected it with the knife in his hand. But before they could go toward him other people did.

"Get out, you fucker!" They attacked indiscriminately. As soon as the man was pushed out the marker on the top changed.

It had a new owner—or waited for a new owner.

[ Green Zone 1/1 -> Green Zone 0/1. ]

No one noticed it as they were all I a ruthless bloody fight over who would become the owner of that room. Someone had a stabbed thigh and another a broken nose.

They all watched with serious expressions as Kim Domja continued to speak. "We should put Ging Pildu aside for now..."

"Let's start with getting a 'room'."

But the hell wasn't over.

The dokkebi appeared again.

[ Now Now, shall we start the third day of the Main Scenario? New faces have arrived today so won't it be fun? hahaha! ]

+

Ji hui thought that the rewards wasn't enough for this scenario but he had no say in it and had to deal with it as is.

[ There is one hour left until the start of the third Main Scenario! ]

"T-This is...!" Lee Hyunsung's eyes widened.

[ It is simple. Occupy the green zone before other people. Of course, You can take away the green zone of others. By the way, you should hurry up. If you don't have a green zone by the tome the scenario starts, terrible experiences will happen, haha! ]

The expression of Kim Dokja's group hardened as they heard bihyung's words. In the meantime the screams of the other people continued.

"Die! Just die!"

"I-I'm not doing this out of a grudge!"

"I just want to live!"

"No way...don't tell me we have to fight like this as well?" Yoo sangah asked Kim Dokja in a nervous manner.

"There's no need. We just have to find a room that had enough capacity. Let's split up and find a suitable room." He began painting groups.

"Hyunsung-ssi and Yoo Sangah-ssi can go together,"

"While heewon-ssi can take Gilyoungie along."

"What about you?" Jung heewon asked.

"I'll go with Hui-ssi." Kim dokja said as he glanced at Ji Hui who didn't express rejection.

"If you can't find a room within 20 minutes before the scenario begins, please come back to this spot."  The group flinched at his words but nodded nonetheless.

The group split but Kim Dokja didn't search for a room but sat on a bench as he looked at the screen of his phone—All the while Ji Hui didn't even look at him.

He had an instinct that there were no rooms left and decided to trust it.

Ji hui didn't pay attention to dokja or the dokkebi that had appeared not too long after. He only glanced up when he heard a familiar voice.

"Oh really? You're quite relaxed, Ahjussi. Do you have a death wish."

Kim Dokja glanced back with a weird smile. "You seemed quite relaxed too."

"No one is going too take my room. Everybody knows they'll be thrown to the dogs the moment they try."

"I don't want you to die ajussi. The way you handled master back there was impressive." Lee Jihye kept talking to dokja as she didn't notice Ji Hui on the floor.

"I'm not going to die."

"Not finding a room doesn't necessarily lead to death." Kim Dokja said with a serious tone.

"Are you as strong as—"

"Go back to the room." Yoo Jonghyuk appeared behind Lee Jihye.

"Ah, master. Okay!" Lee Jihye didn't linger after her masters words.

"Do you plan to face th waves ofmonsters? You will die and your companions will too." Yoo Jonghyuk said as he glanced at Ji Hui who had stood up.

"We'll see about that." Kim dokja didn't answer as he thought.

"..."

"Hyung." Ji Hui stood in front of Yoo Jonghyuk.

Yoo Jonghyuk glanced down at Ji Hui and began to rub his hair his tone became much more gentle as he spoke to Ji Hui. "Hui, do you not have a room?"

"no." Ji Hui didn't lie to him.

"Come with me." Yoo Jonghyuk didn't really let him answer and just picked him up.

He wouldn't leave Ji Hui with Kim Dokja who had no obvious plan. It would be too dangerous and he didn't want anything to happen to Ji Hui.

Lee Jihye didn't seem to mind him taking along either.

Ji hui didn't get a chance to answer as he was taken away. Pancake ran behind them almost glaring at Ji Hui.

But Ji Hui couldn't deny Yoo Jonghyuk was comfortable.

of course he'd never say it out loud.

Kim Dokja who had been left behind: ....
