"W-Why are you...?" He asked taken aback by my actions. "Lee Hyunsung-ssi should've received a love call but you didn't accept." I look at him scrutinizing his facial expression "Ah, that..." Objectively, Lee Hyunsung's combat power was higher than Bang Cheolsoo's. 

There was no way Cheon Inho wouldn't aim for him. "I can't explain it but I thought I shouldn't accept. I don't know much about morals or ethics but..." Lee Hyunsung scratched his head like he was embarrassed. "I felt that something wasn't right." Not right... It wasn't an answer but I felt it was true. Indeed, Lee Hyunsung was Lee Hyunsung.

"Don't forget this heart." That way, I could continue to believe in him. I heard a cute sound from somewhere and looked back, seeing Yoo Sangah and Lee Gilyoung looking up at me. Their faces were like baby birds waiting for the mother bird, making me laugh.

"That reminds me, it is already evening. Aren't you hungry? Take this one by one." I handed over the food from the convenience store one by one. "Ah. Really? Can I?" They asked in hesitance, It's plastered on their face. "This time is free. But next time, you should pay for it."

"Huh? H-How much...?" They asked in disbelief at me "Don't you all have coins? It is 10 coins for one." I look at them one by one to see their reactions. "T-That..." Confusion filled the faces of Yoo Sangah and Lee Hyunsung. They looked like they hadn't expected my words.

"Of course. I will pay right now. I don't need freebies." Surprisingly, the one who spoke was the woman who had been lying on the bench. She had regained consciousness. "I am Jung Heewon. Thank you for your help this morning. That girl was right, I guess you're Kim Dokja... If I want to repay her on the last day I have to survive"

"It is nothing." I thought it was just a cute mask but I could see that it was a prejudice. Alyona sure does find strong people huh? Hey, she's a crucial figure for us, keep her and grow her to her full potential strength and bring her to me A sudden voice said to me, Fuck... Alyona does have a way to scare me. Sure, What's so good about her anyways? And as always no reply.

"Yoo Sangah-ssi, Lee Hyunsung-ssi. Everyone, please wake up. It isn't the time to be making this look. This food, he obtained by risking his life. Do you expect to get it for free? The last day was a miracle... But he risked his life for this..." There was almost no expression on the face that spoke without hesitation.

"Ah..." Yoo Sangah turned red like she had woken up. "I was too short-sighted, I'm sorry. Of course, we should pay...it is right. I don't like freebies either. I hate depending on other people." Yoo Sangah said with a newfound determination on her face. 

"I also agree with Yoo Sangah-ssi. I will pay coins from now on." I was a little surprised by the unexpected reaction. Indeed, just because it was an apocalypse didn't mean there was only one type of person.

"If you insist...I understand. Does everyone know how to exchange coins?" I asked them  "Yes. I learned a few days ago. Touch each other's index finger, um, and..." they didn't bother telling the rest "Just state how many coins you want to exchange."

Starting from Jung Heewon, Yoo Sangah and Lee Hyunsung paid 10 coins in exchange for food. It was fortunate that their resistance wasn't bigger than I thought. I didn't do this to get a few coins. At first, this judgment might seem harsh but people would soon realize this choice was right.

[' Lee Gilyoung' has paid you 20 coins.]

"Huh? You gave me more than 10 coins?" I asked in confusion to the young boy "It is the price for the chocolate bar during the day." Lee Gilyoung's expression while speaking was quite good. Maybe the fastest to adapt to a new world wasn't an adult but a child. It was easier for children to break common sense.
