I really really apologise to anyone who's been waiting. The chapter may not be the best though since my writing has gotten a bit rusty.

"You guys wanted to react to the epilogue right?" N asked, much to everyone's suprise.

"YES" Han Sooyoung exclaimed, getting up from her seat. "Finally!" She added, "Took you long enough.. " She mumbled.

"After all, that's the main reason we're here." Kim Dokja said, to which Yoo Sangah nodded in agreement.

"All right, but it might be a bit confusing since you haven't read the other chapters"

"Can we read that first then?" Jung Heewon asked.

[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire asks the same question]

"Ahh, you'll get to that eventually" N said, Lee Gilyoung looked confused and asked, "But this is the ending, aren't we supposed to read it after the other chapters??"

"There are 51 epilogue chaps and 500 orv chaps, do you really want to read all that from Kim Dokja's perspective?"

"YES" Everyone replied.

"Well..uhh, oh man I...I'll just see what I can do..! I'll include some of the chapters I think stand out." N said, Jung Heewon frowned and said, "But there's no point in reading the end if we don't understand it?"

"Ok, you all need to make up your mind in that case. What do you want to know?" N asked, "Who is TLS123? Is it someone I know?" Kim Dokja asked.

"Ah ah ah! Be careful there, if you're going to ask questions that I can easily answer. I'll just answer that and continue with pictures." N grinned cheekily, Yoo Joonghyuk scowled, he really disliked this person.

"Ok uh, Dokja-ssi, let's not ask individual questions and try to get answers to something that can benefit us all." Lee Hyunsung suggested cautiously, Kim Dokja paused for a while and thought about it. He had so much he wanted to know.. yet he could only get the answer for one of them? Ah that's really unfair.

"Of course you'll get information for the others rest. How about this, let's start of with things that you're curious about than what you'll need to know for the future. Does that sound good?"

"No." Yoo Joonghyuk deadpanned, "Don't decide for us." He said sternly and looked away from N, who blinked her eyes a bit flustered. "Haha all right then! As you said, I'll let you decide."

The company huddled amongst themselves, discussing in hushed whispers. "All right, what do y'all want to see? We'll all vote for one thing that one of us has suggested."

"I want to see Yoo Joonghyuk before the regression. Why he decided to regress." Kim Dokja said, Yoo Joonghyuk looked at him a bit stunned. He didn't think of that... Why didn't he? Shouldn't that be something he wants to know too?

"I want to know about Dokja-ssi's past." Jung Heewon said, Kim Dokja winced at that. He didn't want them to see that yet, he was hoping he could tell them when the time is right. "Ahh! That's something I want to see too." Lee Hyunsung, Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung agreed with Jung Heewon's suggestion.

"Wow so we're already strong on that huh.. all right, but I want to know TLS123's identity and why that bastard wrote this whole thing." Han Sooyoung shrugged. "That's what I suggested before and what you said no to.."

"Correction, it was Lee Hyunsung who suggested we do something else." Han Sooyoung replied to which Kim Dokja didn't have much of a reply to.

"Maybe Dokja-ssi isn't comfortable with that.. let's see something that he's comfortable with too."

Kim Dokja internally thanked Yoo Sangah for her rescue. "Whaaat but aren't you curious too, Sangah-ssi?" Jung Heewon asked.

"Of course I am.. but he'll surely tell us when he's ready, right?" Yoo Sangah said. Kim Dokja nodded, "I promise I will." He knew he could trust his companions, it's just he didn't know how to put it into words. 

Maybe it wouldn't be that big of a deal for them.. afterall, they've all killed before. But this was before the apocalypse even begun.. will they dislike him after he shares his pathetic past?

No, just that won't be enough to make them even wary of him, let alone hate him. But he didn't want to be pitied.. he hated the idea of not seeming like a strong leader to them. The Kim Dokja at the moment was reliable, so how could he break that image?

"Hyung, I don't know what happened in your past but you'd still always be the same hyung to me." Lee Gilyoung whispered to him, Kim Dokja looked at the kid and wondered if he was some kind of mind reader. He nodded at him and said, "All right, but my past it's for another time."

"So do we just want to see the ending?" Lee Jihye asked, Han Sooyoung shook her head, "No way, especially not after what Yoo Joonghyuk said to N."

"Don't decide for us." She mocked, "Listen as much as I agree with you, you don't need to be so harsh about it. Now we don't even know what we want to see!"

"I thought you said you knew." Yoo Joonghyuk deadpanned, "Ugh but still."

"You know what, since you're so smart and know what you want, how about you tell us what you want to know." Han Sooyoung folded her arms and said, "Go on."

"I want to know why I regressed." He said, Kim Dokja grinned, "The same thing I'm curious about! So is that settled or..?"

"Can we just ask N to keep us in seperate rooms to see what we want to on our own?" Shin Yoosung asked, tilting her head. Kim Dokja paused, that way, he wouldn't have to open up about his past either.. they'll just know about it without him saying anything.

No, he promised he'd be the one to tell them, he can't back out of it. That's cowardly..

[bu t y o u a re a co wa r d] 'I know.' Kim Dokja thought back at fourth wall, 'I'm trying to change here.'

"Mm but I want to react with everyone!" Lee Jihye exclaimed, "It's no fun knowing on my own.."

"I want to know why Gilyoung is so obsessed with insects." Shin Yoosung shrugged, "What? You can just ask me that. I like them because they're cool!" Lee Gilyoung replied.

"So uh, final decision..?"

"I am curious about Master's life too.. should we see that?" Lee Jihye asked. They all agreed, "All right, let's see it."

"We've decided, we want to see why Yoo Joonghyuk regressed." Han Sooyoung spoke for all of them. N thought about it and replied, "Sounds good! Zero turn huh.. ooh that's exciting! But it'll be in Kim Dokja's perspective, Mind you."

"That's fine." Jung Heewon said, "What do you think, Joonghyuk-ssi?" She asked and he nodded, "It's all right." He preferred seeing Kim Dokja's perspective anyway.. he was curious about the mystery man himself and his opinion on Yoo Joonghyuk.

"Fuck.." N mumbled, "What's the problem now?" Jung Heewon asked, "The word count of the story is.. really high, and it's nine chapters to see Yoo Joonghyuk before the regression." Han Sooyoung raised her brows and asked, "Who gives a damn about all that? Didn't we already tell you we don't care about how many chapters."

Han Sooyoung groaned, "Stop making stupid excuses and show us the damn thing already." N asked, "How would you feel about seeing Kim Dokja with the 999th turn instead?" Kim Dokja's interest was piqued at that. "999 and I? That.. when does it happen?" Han Sooyoung's eyes widened, "Fuck.. Kim Dokja, it can't be, is he actually your favourite? Didn't we already make a decision? What's with this sudden change??" She then whipped her head to N, "And you! Stop acting as if we have a choice and then doing whatever you want. Stick to what we said."

Yoo Sangah nodded, "It would be nice to see what we asked for." N shrugged, "All right all right, I'll show that turn. Starting with the first chapter of, 'The world of zero', how's that sound?" Jung Heewon clapped her hands, "Sounds good."

I'm not taking any requests right now since there's still alot I need to take. Until then, bye. (yes this was a filler chapter.)
