"Finally we are talking about the important bit," Nam-woon said with a happy smile. All of the discussion from before was making him sleepy.
"But isn't the outside dangerous? You said for yourself how dangerous the monsters were," Hee-won spoke about the main issue.
"We will need to find out about that tomorrow morning, the monsters might be more active because I went outside during nightti," Haru speculated while tapping his thigh.
"That is the web novel logic, I like it," Nam-woon nodded.
"But what if we are wrong and it isn't that way?" Hee-won asked as Sang-ah also looked anxious but she chose to believe in Haru.
"Even if it isn't true I can ensure you that not a single one will die," Haru said with a serious look.
"You sure are blunt, ok I'll bite," Hee-won laughed since Haru said the words that were on everyone's mind in the group. But she didn't expect him to say it so openly. The fear of death was ever-present in every human being, the reason for it may differ from person to person but it did exist. And it was raised further given the current events.
Seeing Haru's serious expression everyone understood that he wasn't joking one bit like he was a bit before and they believed him since he ca back after going outside alone.
"So is there anything we should be careful of?" Sang-ah knew that Haru surely would know so things that would help them in surviving, Otherwise he wouldn't have talked about going outside.
"Yes, I'll tell you about it," Haru then explained about the outside environnt and monsters to everyone. He told them about the monsters and how they attack.
Sang-ah and Hee-won listened attentively with Nam-woon paying full attention as Hyun-sung took notes in the small dairy he had in his pocket.
The discussion lasted for a while with Haru answering questions asked by the four before they concluded it early.
It was midnight right now as the worst day to ever pass on earth ended with most of the people on the platform asleep. Hee-won, Hyun-sung, and Sang-ah were sitting on the ground looking after the remaining items so that no one steals their stuff while the others slept.
"I didn't know he had such an ability no wonder he could co back safely after seeing those big monsters," Hee-won was now more certain about the big monsters being real.
Earlier Haru told her about his ability and how it could keep them in case they encounter a dangerous monster like that mantis.
"But that ability does have a limit to it, I wonder if it is just blood coming out of Haru-ssi's eyes," Hyun-sung said while looking a bit worried.
"Haru-ssi looked alright before so it shouldn't be that bad," Sang-ah said, she was worried as well but there didn't seem anything wrong.
"Even then we shouldn't rely on it too much, we need to get strong so that he only needs to use it in important monts. I don't believe such an ability can be used with the only consequence being blood coming out of his eyes," Hee-won said while leaning back on the wall behind her.
Hyun-sung and Sang-ah agreed with Hee-won's words but only words were no good, it would take effort for them to do sothing about it.
"And for him to reveal such a thing like this, I don't know if he is overly considerate or overly idiotic, No he might be both," Hee-won sighed heavily. She was shocked when Haru just straight-up told her about his trump card like it was nothing while only knowing her for less than an hour.
'Maybe he told about it because I trusted him when he said he won't let anyone die,' Hee-won thought as Haru trusted in her because she trusted his words but even then.
"That was too reckless we need to be careful about this and teach him to not do such things, that gloomy guy from earlier also ca to know about it and I don't know if he really wants to kill Haru but we need to get more careful," Hee-won concluded.
Sang-ah laughed awkwardly since the reason Jung-Hyeok knew about it was that he overheard it when Haru was telling them about it. The main reason Haru told them about it was because he didn't want them to be on edge and they understood it but it also showed that Haru trusted them which made them want to help him more.
'And it seems Hee-won also feels the sa way,' Sang-ah thought as Hyun-sung had a touched expression.
"By god, they look like the perfect family, don't they?" Hee-won's words brought out Sang-ah and Hyun-sung out of their thoughts as they followed her sight and saw Haru, Queresha, and Gil-young.
Haru was sleeping while leaning on the wall with Queresha on his right, leaning on him with her head on his shoulder as Gil-young's head was on Haru's thigh with his coat over the kid to act as a blanket.
And they really looked like a family.
"Well…." Sang-ah smiled wryly making Hee-won look toward her.
"They aren't really a family, Haru-ssi and Queresha-ssi aren't even married," Sang-ah said with a helpless smile. She could see what Hee-won was saying since the three looked like a small peaceful family but they weren't.
"…." Hee-won blinked a few tis since her brain stopped working.
"Damn, I thought the kid took after the mother since they both barely spoke, I was drawing so many scenarios in my head thinking of the family dynamic of an overly cheerful dad pulling his straight-faced wife and kid all over the place," Hee-won felt sad the family she envisioned didn't exist.
"I am pretty sure most people who would see them would think the sa," Sang-ah said.
"That is unless they know them, also how are those two not in a relationship they totally give the vibe of a married couple," Hee-won said with an exasperated look, she couldn't believe it.
"Ah, I shouldn't speak loudly," Hee-won lowered her voice since she saw Queresha's shoulder move a bit, Hyun-sung and Sang-ah sighed in relief that no one woke up.
"Well, I don't really know about that, but Haru-ssi is only 24, I don't know about Queresha-ssi but she shouldn't be any older than us," Sang-ah spoke while trying to rember if she had ever heard about Queresha's age.
"He is two years younger than and here I thought I'd tease him by calling Oppa tomorrow morning," Hee-won hit her thigh since her plan was ruined.
"Well, I heard that Haru-ssi skipped grades and already held a degree at the age of 19, it was also on the news at the ti I rember reading the article about it," Sang-ah said while completely ignoring the part about Hee-won's plan.
"Haru-ssi is very impressive," Hyun-sung was getting more and more impressed.
"If he was that good at studies, he should've gone overseas to study, why is he in Korea working in a ga company?" Hee-won wondered, in Hee-won's talk with Sang-ah she ca to know that Haru was superior of hers at work which was puzzling.
"I don't know about that, but I heard there were so complications that led him to stay in Korea and find a job," Sang-ah had only heard about it a little since she was very busy at that point as a new employee. Sang-ah also didn't like gossiping, another point was that gossip about Haru was all over the company so it was hard to figure out which ones were true and which ones weren't. So Sang-ah didn't pay attention to them.
"Hmmmmmmm," Hee-won was in deep thought right now.
"What are you thinking about Hee-won?" Sang-ah asked.
"Handso, tall, good physique, Intelligent enough to skip grades, has a high position in a company, and a mysterious past," Hee-won muttered making Sang-ah tilt her head not understanding what was going on.
"No, it can't be, all of it checks out," Hee-won said in disbelief.
"What?" Sang-ah asked in surprise since Hee-won looked a bit on edge right now.
"He….." Hee-won pointed at Haru with wide eyes as if she had realized sothing.
Sang-ah and Hyun-sung gulped since Hee-won's actions had made them tense.
"…..He is a Modern Novel protagonist," Hee-won said with sweat rolling down her forehead as she pointed at Haru.
"..." Sang-ah and Hyun-sung froze on the spot not knowing what to say.
"Tch," Nam-woon clicked his tongue and looked at Hee-won in annoyance.
"Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?" Hee-won asked while raising her eyebrow.
"I thought you knew sothing interesting about Ahjussi, Tch waste of ti," Nam-woon clicked his tongue again.
"Oh My, Looks like Haru got himself a fan here," Hee-won giggled which pissed Nam-woon off.
"Shut it you old hag, I only wanted to know more about him so that I can use it to murderize him later," Nam-woon snapped but before he could say anything further he was.....
