— Second night 8

    The four of them didn't bother to—stop nor did they need to as they could still hear the heavy footsteps behind them.

It let them know Maria was still behind them.

And it sounded as if she wasn't gonna stop anytime soon.

The father sprinted as he ushered his kid's and wife forward—"Liam" was still in his arm's "hiding" from the women.

But in reality he was trying to see how this would play out—and he was trying put the pieces he had gotten together.

He had a feeling he was close to completing this dungeon.

No matter how much the four of them ran, Maria was hot on their tails. The father knew that it wouldn't work like this.

So he decided to hold her off while the three of them ran.

"Take Liam, and run!" He didn't hesitate to hand Liam over as he slammed against the housekeeper that seemed about to touch him.

"What about you?" The mother cried out as she held Liam against her.

"No time," he glanced back at her. "Just go!"

Aside from everything he was a father and as a father he wanted nothing more than his kids to be safe.

So at the moment he was sacrificing himself.

"But—" She didn't want to leave her husband but her kids.

"Stop dawdling and go!"

She didn't have time to hesitate more as she took one last glance—and then she forced her kids to go without looking back.

"Liam" could see the tears on his mother's face but she didn't stop for a moment.

Ji Hui could see his father fighting against the housekeeper that had inhumane strength but he tried to hold her back as much as possible.

All he could do was watch because Ji Hui also wanted to go back.

The three of them kept running—Eventually they reached a heavily secured room. It was locked but his mother managed to find they keys and they broke inside.

Ji Hui could feel it.

The end was near.

He could complete this dungeon now.

Meanwhile Kim Dokja and his group had managed to complete the final movie—even with Jihye far from ideal condition at the beginning.

She had manged to overcome this and made a beautiful ending.

Kim Dokja had left Jihye behind due to her still deteriorated mentality. The rest of then went to find Jonghyuk instead.

But no matter what he was still worried about Ji Hui.

If something were to to happen to Jonghyuk he was sure Ji Hui would be devastated.

And that was the last thing he wanted to see.

As Kim Dokja rushed up the stairs praying for Yoo Jonghyuk's safety he raised all of his stats hoping this was enough—but more importantly he wanted Ji Hui's safety.

But luck wasn't on his side.

[ You have entered floor 8 above-ground, The 'roof garden.' ]

The moment Kim Dokja saw Yoo Jonghyuk standing there as if nothing had happened without a weapon in hand—even if all he saw was his back his worry was turned into anger.
