I stared at my scars for a few minutes and thought about everything that's happened to me up till now.
When I heard that my mom got hurt, I got worried, but when I found out that she was killed by my brother, I was heartbroken, I felt betrayed.
The thought of my mother being killed was hard enough, but the fact that my brother killed her was too much. So when I saw him crying during the trial, I snapped, "GO TO HELL!", I yelled, I guess that did something because I never saw him cry again.
Eventually, I couldn't feel anything, no sadness, no anger, I couldn't think straight. Even when I heard my relatives talking bad about us, I couldn't get bad because I didn't know what to think. I started to regret yelling at my brother, and started to blame myself for not being tough enough.
"Junghwa! Is this actually your room?" Asked Minjoo
" Oh, yeah, that's my room, what about it?"
" it's so basic, your bed is at the corner of your room and there's a desk right next to it. Then there's a closet with- actually, there's some good clothes in here, and it's one of those closets where you just open a door and there's a small room inside. Oh! Here's your favorite shirt!" Said Minjoo, then holds out a black long sleeve shirt, and then she sniffs it.
" Whoa! This literally smells like you, that just shows how much you wear it. Why do even like this shirt?" Said Minjoo
" I like it because it makes my muscles pop out and it's my favorite color, i was actually gonna look for it so thanks for finding it. If the world really going to hell then I better get comfortable."
I take away the shirt from Minjoo and go into the closet to change. I don't know when I could die again, but I've already died 3 times, so "that" is probably starting, so I have to unlock the Celestial Shop as quickly as i can. In the novel, Minjae found out about the Celestial Shop is from a guy rather he was torturing because he tried to kill him.
"But in order to do that, I have to collect the items I need to access it. I need to get the Hellhound General's Crown and the Lower Speed Demon's Crown. But right now I should worry about what I'm going to wear."
So I took off my grey jacket, white shirt, jeans and shoes, then I put on some slightly loose black pants and the long sleeve black shirt and put on black combat boots and roll up my sleeves
"Mhm, this looks pretty good for now, I'll probably change it later on, but this is good enough for now."
I put away the clothes and opened the closet door only to find Minjoo taking her shirt off,
"What the fuuuck?!?" We yell at the same time
~7 minutes earlier~
-[Time: 9:33]-
Shinhui, Jina, and Jinsung returned back to Junghwa's house safely
"We're back~" said Shinhui
"Junghwa! Where are you!!?" Yelled Jina
Then Soonhyeok came down
"Guys! You made it back! Did you find any food over there?" Asked Soonhyeok
"Yeah! We found lots of food! Almost as if Shinhui was preparing for this to happen!" Said Jinsung
Shinhui nervously laughed and said, " Yeah, I'm always prepared. You never know when something's gonna happen..."
"Who's he?" Asked Jina coldly while pointing at Soonhyeok
Everyone freezes and look at Jina, and Jina waits for an answer. Shinhui, Jina, and Jinsung wait for Soonhyeok to answer, but he couldn't.
" The Soonhyeok was too stuned to speak." Is what Jinsung and Shinhui
Jinsung stepped up and said, " He's Soonhyeok, he's been with us the whole time."
"Really? I don't remember that." Said Minjoo then she sat down on the couch and said
" Heyy, this place you got here is really nice. Who's house is this?"
" It's Junghwa's house, remember?" Asked Shinhui
" Junghwa...Junghwa, he's that guy that gave me the cricket right? I guess he's a nice guy, but I still don't trust him..." said Jina before falling asleep.
"That was weird." said jinsung
" I guess she was just tired." Said Shinhui
"Maybe, but wait, could she have-?" Said Soonhyeok before being interrupted by Shinhui asking where Minjoo is.
" Oh, Minjoo's with Junghwa in his room. It's the farthest room the left." Said Soonhyeok
Shinhui thanks him and quickly walked up the stairs and walked into my room right after I went into the closet to change and saw laying on my bed.
"What are you doing? Where's Junghwa?" Asked Shinhui
Minjoo quickly got off the bed and said "N-nothing! A-And he just went into his closet to change. "
" Really? But it looks like you were smelling Junghwa's pillow." Said Shinhui with a blank face
" Hey! I wasn't doing that!" Said Minjoo
" Okay, here's your clothes, change somewhere private." Said Shinhui , then she left the room.
Minjoo grabbed the bag of clothes and looked around the room, "Somewhere private..." said Minjoo as she thought that I would take a while changing, she thinks about it for a couple of minutes and eventually decides to change in Junghwa's room while he's changing.
So Minjoo starts to take off her shirt, but she hears the closet door knob move and I walk out.
~Now The Present~
"What the fuuck!!?" We both say at the same time
I quickly close the door while blushing, "Why are you changing in here?!" I yell
Minjoo quickly pulls her shirt down while blushing, "It was private! And why didn't you tell me that you were coming out!?" Yells Minjoo
"Well I didn't think I'd have to because I didn't think you were gonna be changing in here!!" I yell
Minjoo thinks about it for a few seconds, "Well I guess that makes sense. Alright I'll be leaving then!" Yells Minjoo
I hear the door slam and after a few minutes, I slowly open the door to check if anyone else was here and no one was.
I hope things don't get too weird after today.
~Later that night~
We were all just finished eating dinner and we decided to talk about what we were going to do tomorrow when the 2nd Game began. But since everyone other than me didn't know what was going to happen, but they thought we might have to kill more people, so they didn't really know what to do.
"Alright guys, I don't really know what's going to happen but I know that we will definitely have to kill some people. If not next Game then in another Game, I'm not saying we should kill people to survive, but I am saying we should kill people if they try to kill us." I said
I should probably tell them that I know what's going to happen, but they probably won't believe me anyways.
Shinhui raised her hand, " But what if I don't want to kill anyone?" She said and then everyone looked at me.
" If you don't want to kill anyone, then at least disarm them. But I think we should get ready for tomorrow, if what that angel said is correct, then the next Game should start at 6pm tomorrow." I said
Everyone nodded, then I looked at Jina and she was glaring at me with cautious eyes.
What's up with her? One moment she's hugging me and antagonizing all the other women and the next she's glaring and being cautious of you.
" It's almost like she has tw-. Wait, does she have that?" I quietly said
I ignored it and help everyone pack the food and clothes that we had in backpacks that I had in my house, and we all went to sleep.
Except for me, I was up in my room thinking about what to do tomorrow, but I decided to check my stats, " Status Window!" I said and the Status Window appeared infront of me like a video game.

"Wow. It even knows my full name."
Huh? What's this? 3rd Wall: Stage 1...
I click on the skill and I'm shown the details,
-[ 3rd Wall: Stage 1: You are able to see other people's Status Window]-
I yawn, "Well that's pretty useful."
I should go to sleep now, it's gonna be a busy day tomorrow.
I fall asleep and I wake up in a white space, naked, "Whoa! Why am I naked?" I crouch down to try and cover myself when I hear someone behind me.
"Who are you?" Asked the person
I turn around and see Minjae standing infront of me fully clothed. I couldn't speak from amazement. The man from the novel I've been reading for 12 years is standing infront of me. And he's also pointing a sword at me!!
"Answer my question! Who are you? And how are you able to access The Dreamworld?!!"
