“Who am I? I told you, I’m Tim, a survivor from the disaster a long time ago.” Shamita, who was walking ahead, turned around and retorted. The corridor was dark, and the tactical light attached to the rifle was the only source of light. Aslan, who was on guard, glanced down at the woman awkwardly touching her forehead and nose. To be precise, he was looking at the scar on her rolled-up wrist, but Shamita seemed to have misunderstood. “If you’re asking about personal…-

Beep. A ringing echoed in her ears. The whispering returned as well. The sound of hundreds, no, thousands of people murmuring. At the same time, a white door floated into her mind, its doorknob turning like it were about to creak open. Liella was seized by an unknown terror and blocked the door of illusion. Don't come out. Don't come out. I don't want to remember. "At first, I was dubious. But the woman in front of me resembled the infamous Madame Andrei so much. Besides… Tim, sick with a…

“What do you think? It’s not bad, right?” Haeda, who had finished his first day with a tour of the night market near the hotel, visited the expo hall with Robert the next morning. Surprisingly, even though he was just casually looking around without much expectation, there were more interesting booths than he had thought. The baristas' skills, new roasting techniques, and unseen café art positions were all novel. The Korean coffee market had grown so large, and they were sweeping…-

Dajeong, after a light greeting, scanned the six or so people gathered inside the pergola. The table, laden with all sorts of alcohol and drinks like beer, whiskey, and cocktails, also held items that seemed completely out of place for the setting. Dajeong glared coldly at Moon Gihyun, who was settling down naturally. Even if she was a demanding princess, she thought he would at least show some basic courtesy in a business meeting, but it seemed like he was just as bad as the rest. "Nice to meet…

The original deployment plan was simple. Everyone except Jade, the driver, would go in and out together. It was good for mobility in case of an emergency, and Jade, who cherished his team members, wouldn't act rashly anyway. But now they were changing it. Liella asked with a nervous look, "A change? How so?" "We'll be arriving soon, but the two patients aren't ready to move yet. Rather than being a burden, I'm thinking of leaving them in the car and going in." "Tim and Jade? Just the…

“Kyaaaa!!!” It was a series of screams as if they were on a roller coaster. It was almost a competition between Liella and Shamita to see who could raise the decibels higher. "We're going backward, backward!" Instinctively, she squeezed her eyes shut and cowered, but the heavy machine gun, which had stopped for a moment, began to rattle the vehicle like crazy. It's Aslan. He hadn't gotten off the car yet. He's fighting. At the sound of tearing apart the clinging tentacle bundles,…

How did things end up like this? She didn't know. She wasn't planning on leaving. She was going to hold out for six months inside, but they said that to make those six months safe, they needed a weapon. And the weapon was said to be in that darkness. She just didn't want to send Aslan alone this time. "The military supply line is about 35km from here. After passing the project exploration ships that we call the 'graveyard of the weak.' You'll pass the wreckage of helicopters and buildings…

Liella accepted him without resistance. She liked that she didn't have to think about anything when they kissed. Not about the fact that she would be going outside in three days, nor what to call this relationship where she sought only warmth without emotion. The man continued to kiss her, his strong hand persistently caressing the bandage on her neck before he picked her up and laid her on the bed. Aslan loosened her hair, which was uncomfortably pressed against the back of her head, and instead of…

“One of you two, excluding the driver, has to ride in the cargo hold.” Aslan turned around without a hint of a smile, and Tim and Shamita visibly flinched. They clearly feared Aslan after the shootout during their first encounter. Or perhaps, in Shamita's case… Liella noticed the curiosity lingering on his handsome face and forcibly turned her head away. Jealousy was an unsightly emotion, especially in such a critical situation. “Well, it can’t be helped. Tim, just suffer for a few…

Though they pretended to eat, sleep, and live normally, Liella was willing to bet her wrist that all three of them had a corner of their minds crumbling. Depression, insomnia, anguish. When alone in their rooms, anxiety washed over their feet like waves, coming and going. Pretending to be fine like this, they might one day face despair as suddenly as a tidal wave. To avoid being swept away then, they needed to stay tightly united now. "Maybe it's because the light is only on here. If I close…
