The texture of the dull quilt touched skin.
Jung Heewon didn't know how long it had been since she enjoyed a luxury like this. Everything was peaceful. She didn't need to be afraid of being attacked by monsters in the night or watch out for humans trying to steal her items.
However, Jung Heewon was well aware that this peace wouldn't last long.
“Jung Heewon-ssi! Please open the door!”
“I'm asking you for an interview!”
For a week, reporters had been clamouring in front of the house. She could glimpse flashes of light through the curtains. In front of the ruthless gazes of the cameras, Jung Heewon felt a strong sense of deja vu.
“…It isn't just the constellations who are voyeurs.”
[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' is chuckling.]
[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' agrees with your thoughts.]
Jung Heewon felt a new sense of emotion at all the gazes on her. Before the scenario began, the forms were different but there were similar things.
The voyeuristic gazes and the struggle for survival. In this sense, the scenario might be around before the 'scenario' even started. Nobody knew it was a 'scenario.'
Through the window, she saw the broken city area and the blocked Seoul Dome. It had already been a week since they left Seoul Dome but Jung Heewon couldn't believe she was out of the dome.
“Heewon unni! Did you just wake up?”
“Ah yes, Jihye.”
Jung Heewon smiled helplessly as Lee Jihye burst through the door.
It had been one week after the escape from Seoul Dome. Many things had happened in the meantime.
Jung Heewon and the group were assisted with homes by the provisional government in the Gyeonggi area and were invited to the institute to answer a few questions. They were obvious questions.
What happened inside Seoul Dome?
Were the rumours on the Internet true?
How many people were like them and what ideas did they have?
What were the constellations and the scenario?
At first, Jung Heewon faithfully answered the questions as the representative. Then over time, the whole thing became annoying.
She wondered what was the point in doing this?
The South Korean government had already disappeared. The provisional government, made up of some lucky parliament and city council members, had no idea what had happened. They still firmly believed that the 'state' system would be meaningful in the face of future scenarios. For those who were still stuck to old beliefs despite the new era, Jung Heewon had something to say to them.
-Take off your suits and your ties first.
-Huh?
-They aren't good outfits to run away in.
Jung Heewon glanced at Lee Jihye. In any case, the party members were the only ones she could believe in.
“What about Yoo Sangah-ssi?”
“She is in a room with the kids.”
The problem was that the party members weren't well.
Lee Jihye spoke in a dark voice,
“…The loss of Dokja ahjussi is a big blow.”
Honestly, things were uncertain when he was with them but once he was missing, everyone was lost. This was Kim Dokja to the party members. Everyone's purpose was survival but it was Kim Dokja who decided the path of survival. It was natural for the party members to lose their direction and scatter.
“I wish I had the manual that Soldier ahjussi mentioned.”
“Have you heard from Hyunsung-ssi yet?”
