After breakfast, everyone gathered in front of Room 101 with determined looks on their faces.
This was already our 4th attempt, aning it was about ti to end it.
It turns strange from the 5th attempt.
Although I was slightly curious on what that ant, there was no reason to look into that while putting ourselves at risk.
I assud that everyone would be thinking the sa thing. Even Jinchul-hyung was constantly taking out and looking at the red capsule from his pocket, and he seed ready to take it if need be.

Fourth Attempt

I was used to the whole procedure already.
Imdiately after opening my eyes, I covered my sight with the filter and used course registration as an excuse to stay holed up in my room.
Then, I turned on my computer and searched on the Internet the words, New World Hospital, Lee Hyukjin and Kim Sangmin with only one question in mind.
What exactly happened?
After about 40 minutes, I finally understood the heart-wrenching tragedy preluding the curse. The cause of the nightmare that tainted this entire stage with its curse was, in fact, based off of one individuals tragedy which happened to many people throughout the world.
Even though I didnt understand everything, I had an idea of who the villain was.
Everyone must be waiting for already.
I used up more ti than I thought in looking for clues about the scenario, and unlike those that would get there by teleportation, I had to take a family mber there along with the taxi.
That would take a lot of ti, so I decided to leave as soon as possible.
There were a lot of things to share with everyone.

The clues I found were enough to draw a rough outline of what happened. Everything seed to have started from sothing more common than I had initially thought.
It was unclear how they managed to ruin the world, but I had a rough gist of who did it.
I thought about the eting we had last night about how teleportation worked.
That really was an unconventional thod which had completely slipped past my mind. Using that thod, it would be finally possible for to get past all the hazards of this disturbingly enormous house and arrive at the TV Station.
However, there was no such thing as a perfect plan, and there was a problem we had spotted with the teleportation strategy.
It was that the different version of after being infected by the curse could change the plan of the day.
In order to stop this, I quickly ford a detailed plan about a visit to the TV Station and notified the secretary and the board directors about it.
Just from sending ssages on the phone, I could feel small fragnts of the curse trying to seep into my mind. It really was a horrendous curse.
Soon, I stopped sending ssages after judging that this was enough. Including the secretary and the directors, I had also notified a few other people including my family and officially created a plan to visit the TV Station.
This should be enough, right? The only thing I could hope for now was for my other self to arrive at the TV Station.
I opened the door and stood still as people started walking towards .
My consciousness slowly started to fade away.
Senior Director! We have a problem!

After gently pushing my mum away, I told her I had an interview due at the TV Station.
Was this enough? I should now go to the TV Station for the interview after being infected by the curse, right?
Just in case, I sent a ssage to the dojo master.
I told several people about my destination, so it was safe to assu that I would most likely stick to the plan even when I was under the effect of the curse.
Slowly, I walked up to my fake mum.
And my consciousness slowly started to fade.
Jinchul!

Everything was dark and not a sound was to be heard.
That was natural, because I had been starting with my sense of sight and hearing shut off thanks to Songees ability from the 3rd attempt onwards.
Thanks to that, I was able to keep myself sane even though my sister was currently touching from the side.
Unfortunately, however, it was therefore impossible for to search anything on the Internet.
Because my sister and I started in the sa room, I had no other choice but to receive the help of Songee, and with no sense of sight, there was no way for to use the computer or my phone.
I went to the wardrobe, and took out clothes to change into.
It was a lot harder than I thought. Changing clothes by relying only on the sense of touch was a lot more difficult than I could have imagined.
I told my sister that I would soon be heading off to ABS. Although I couldnt hear her reply, I was soone who had to often go to TV Stations in the first place! So it was highly unlikely for there to be any problems with a plan of that level.
Slowly, my ears and eyes started to function as normal. The thing in front of started to register in my brain.
I saw my sister chewing the at off of sothing bizarre.
I let my consciousness fade away.
.
.
.
Suddenly, I ca to myself.
Surprised by the sudden feeling of waking up in the middle of nowhere, I was looking around when soone tapped on the shoulder.
Are you awake?
Grandpa?
Ive been waiting. You were quite fast, were you not?
Is everyone else here as well?
Miss Songee should be here soon. She should be close by, judging from the fact that I can see her ssages on the conversation tab.
So we are waiting for Kain-gun, Jinchul-ssi and Eunsol-unni then!
It would probably take Kain-gun quite a lot of ti, because he needs to grab a taxi and co with his sister. As for Miss Eunsol I believe she wont be able to co.
Sorry?
Get on your phone and check the news. This world is in shock because of what happened.
I took out my phone and checked the news, and saw a bunch of news articles at the top of the feed saying that the chairman of Daeyang Group had died during a human hunt.
Human hunt?
If that was what he was up to, he was better off dead.
Even though we never talked deeply about ourselves in front of everyone, most of us were sowhat aware of each others identity. I had also heard how unni was the daughter of the chairman of Daeyang Group.
It would be difficult for her to co if that was the situation she was in. Any schedule she had in mind would probably all be cancelled.
Tung.
That was when the sound of sothing heavy landing on the ground echoed from outside.
Turning around, I looked past the wide front windows of the lobby and saw that Jinchul-ssi had appeared out of nowhere.
Umm, are we dood?
Jinchul-ssi was not by himself.
Next to him was an old lady, who was presumably his mother whom he had been talking about a few tis. I was lost for words the mont I saw her.
Even Grandpa Mooksung rustled his hair while letting out a furious shout.
That stupid freaking pig! Why the hell did he bring his mum!?
What should we do? With his mother that close, Jinchul-ssi was bound to be unable to escape the effect of the curse.
The situation started turning worse and worse.
The mother and son started walking towards the door of the TV Station.
What do we do? At this rate, all of us were going to lose our minds because of that old lady!
Elena! Stick to the wall! Lets try to distance ourselves as much as possible from those retards. Songee should be here very shortly. If she uses her hallucination, she should be able to separate the two of them.
We quickly stuck closer to the wall of the lobby.
Soon, Jinchul-ssi and his mum walked into the building. They seed very close I could hear them talking about interviews, finding a job and whatnot.
Calm down. Calm down. Once Songee gets here, shell be able to help us.
That was when the mother noticed .
Oh my! Look, look! Isnt that young lady the one that cos out in Non Summit*?
Ah. Even though I only went on the show 4 tis, she still recognized . Normally I would have been grateful but now was definitely not a good timing.
Quickly, the mother took out a piece of paper and started walking towards .
She was a fan on top of that? How thankful. I didnt even have many fans and yet surprisingly, it seed that Jinchul-ssis mother was one of those few lovely people.
I felt very grateful. But thanks to her, I felt like going crazy.
Sticking my back to the wall, I tried moving to the sides to distance myself from them, but the lobby was certainly not big enough to let escape from the two.
Left with no choice, I waited for the inevitable to happen.
Click.
It was then. A cold clink of tal echoed as everyone in the lobby turned stiff.
I turned to Grandpa in a fluster and realised that he was carrying the gun in his hand. What was he trying to do with it?
Grandpa! Who are you trying to shoot?
Sorry, but I need to kill the mother of that stupid pig.
What if that upsets Jinchul-ssi? Right now he must be thinking of her as his real mum!
I have to do it. Since we are the only ones next to Jinchul right now, he should be able to co back to himself once we kill his mum. I just have to buy a few seconds.
Grandpa Mooksung said with a stiff look on his face. Despite having a gun, buying a few seconds from a superhuman who could break concrete walls with his fists seed a lot easier said than done.
Grandpa. How about you try shooting Jinchul-ssi with the gun instead?
What we noticed from several experiences leading up till now, was that in spite of his supernatural strength, his body was not resilient enough to be immune to bullets.
Things will be hard anyway if we kill him, so we need to try keeping him alive as much as possible and make him wake up.
He pointed the gun at the mother.
Upon seeing the gun being pointed at her, she, who had been walking up to , suddenly did a handstand and started walking on her hands.
Bang!
As a result, blood splattered from her shoulders instead of her vitals.
UAAHKKKKKK!
Jinchul-ssis sonorous roar resonated across the 1st floor of the TV Station.
Ah. We were seriously dood.

Was this a dream? A nightmare?
Today, I was on the way for an interview to mark the start of a new life. My mum wanted to co with to cheer up. I told her several tis not to, but I couldnt stop her so in the end, I suggested she try out the food nearby while waiting for my interview to finish.
Walking into the TV Station, we headed to the lobby.
There were two people inside the lobby but for so reason, they had their backs right next to the wall and I couldnt even see their faces properly so I ignored them.
Oh my! Look, look! Isnt that young lady the one that cos out in Non Summit?
What? Who are you talking about?
That lady over there! Oh wow! Let go get her signature.
When my mum started walking to the lady in a hurry.
A bulky old man wearing a suit walked forth. In his hand was a pistol.
What in the
Before I could even react, blood splattered from my mums shoulder.
Anger soared all the way up to my head.
Kicking off the ground with all my strength, I imdiately jumped at the old man. Seeing cover 10 tres in an instant, the old man audibly let out swear words.
The barrel of the gun turned towards in the blink of an eye.
I got goosebumps all over my skin. Was I going to die? Just like this?
You stupid boar! Please just wake up!
While shouting out so incomprehensible words, the old man lowered the gun.
My fist carrying all my strength headed to the old man, who postured himself and used his palms to deviate the path of my fist at the perfect timing.
Or rather, he tried to.
It was futile. With only that much strength, it was impossible for him to change the path of my fist.
Despite the failed attempt to parry my punch, the old man still managed to tilt his head at the last second to make my fist land on the wall.
Kwaang!!!
The sound of a hamr striking the wall filled the lobby along with the crumbling of a large portion of the wall.
After seemingly giving up on sothing, the old man lifted his gun again, but
I didnt give him another chance.
Imdiately, I kicked the old man with my leg and made him drop the gun. One kick was enough to crush one of the old mans legs, who then fell on the floor while groaning in pain.
This should be enough. Now that I bashed this crazy old man up, all I needed to do was take my mum to the hospital and
Click.
Another click of a gun reached my ears. Surprised, I raised my head.
At the end of my gaze was the foreigner whom mum said had starred at Non Summit.
I almost lost my mind for a second.
She was an unbelievably beautiful lady. Since this was the TV Station, was she perhaps a celebrity? But what was important was that the lady was carrying a gun in her hands. She seed to have picked up the gun that I kicked away.
The lady pointed the gun at my mum.
What was going on today? Why was this crazy old man plus this celebrity trying to kill my mum so badly?
Bang! Bang!
Her shots all missed.
Unlike the old man from before, this young lady seed bad with the gun. The bullets didnt even go near mum and went everywhere.
But still, I assud that I should still take the gun away from her.
However, my feet paused for a bit.
The lady was crying.
For so reason, there was a strange feeling that I was doing sothing terribly wrong. What was it? My mother and I were the victims, so why was I feeling like this?
Bang!
The bullet grazed past instead of my mum.
She was really bad at shooting, but it would still be a problem if we ended up being shot by a random bullet.
Once again, I kicked off the ground and flew towards her, and with one flick, I snatched the gun away from her hands. Right when I was about to tap her gently to make her faint
Soone walked into the TV Station. Was she a high schooler? She was wearing a uniform.
Her wrist suddenly flickered as a beam of unusual light covered my sight.
The mont I woke up from the sense of being enveloped by a mysterious power
Everything around was gone.

Question would you prefer kun or gun as a suffix? Kain-gun or Kain-kun?
Gun feels a bit weird
