KIM DOKJA'S POINT OF VIEW

Han Sooyoung quickly made her way to us and asked with a dumbfounded expression. "What? What does this mean? Why did he suddenly mention the probability?" I sighed and look at her, "He is arguing needlessly." She bit her lips and look at me, "Arguing? Why?" her eyes were filled with curiosity.

Why? Was it because I rejected his offer? Dokgak floated in the sky and reported to the Bureau. The probability judgment... I didn't think it would be used in this way. I expected the dokkaebis of other big channels to start a fight but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Bihyung's face turned red and he was tearful as he looked between me and Dokgak. It looked like tears would burst out as soon as he was touched. "I feel bad for Bihyung... even though he's a dumb ass..." Alyona said in a sickly aegyo voice.

–W-What? What do I do now?

–Tell me honestly. Did he find out about our contract?

Bihyung shook his head.

–Did he notice you opening the Dokkaebi Bag?

–T-That can't be.

–Really?

–P-Probably...

–Well, don't panic yet. Even if that is the case, it is worth asking for a 'probability conformity request.' In the first place, it isn't a violation of regulations.

It was true. There was no precedent in which an incarnation made a 'stream contract' or could use the 'dokkaebi bag', so it wasn't a direct violation of Star Stream's regulations. Bihyung belatedly nodded with relief.

–Y-Yes. I understand.

Seeing this childlike Bihyung, I didn't know if he was the dokkaebi or if I was. I looked at Dokgak and the low-grade dokkaebis again. "He's so cute!!!" Alyona gushed beside me, I was startled and looked at her with wide eyes. "What?" My gaze on her reverted to the floating message in front of me.

[The #BI-7623 channel manipulation has been reported.]

[The Bureau is currently discussing this issue.]

If I was right, the probability request would eventually be canceled. Although the story would be different if Dokgak had 'evidence' for this... He was hiding information and I had no way to figure out what it was. Then there was only one way left- "Hey, can you stop stalling and quickly give me my reward? Don't you see that the constellations are becoming bored?" Alyona blurted out beside me.

"That is a problem, This is more important than the compensation payout." Alyona looks at me intensely with her eyes glowing green. "Never mind, whatever business you had with him is none of my problems..." I look at her and back at Dokkaebi Dokgak. "What?" I whispered to her. "Trust me, you should use your brain for this one... just one note..." I look at her anticipatingly.

Do your best to trick the constellations. Alyona's voice resonated in my brain like always, I nodded at this and stared back at Dokgak with a meaningful look. 

–Did both of you change your mind? If you agree with my proposal, I will get rid of all of this for you.

I looked up at Dokgak once again. Yes, let's try a frontal confrontation. "What are your concerns? Let me look. How is the channel I belong to illegally manipulating the scenario? Is there any evidence?" I would find out what his evidence was as if he had it. If he was bluffing, the situation would end immediately.
