"Ahjussi."

Cale turned to see Na Bori inching closer towards him as the group walked back to Chungmuro Station.

"Did you know?" Bori asked, her gleaming eyes widening slightly.

He raised a brow at the cryptic question, silently asking her what she's talking about.

Na Bori lowered her voice. "That Yoo Joonghyuk Mister and Dokja Ahjussi had a child together."

Cale deadpanned. 'Well, isn't this a familiar scene?' He thought motionlessly.

In the Omniscient Reader, Lee Jihye was the first to enable the misunderstandings between the life and death companions.

Cale sighed. "You probably got it all wrong."

"No, I didn't! They even had an argument! Namwoon, Jihye, and I heard it!"

"You know I can hear you, right?" Kim Dokja said from the front, his flat tone and blank face telling that he's very unimpressed.

[Demon-like Judge of Fire insists that it's okay to embrace your orientation!]

Kim Dokja deadpanned.

"It's okay, Ahjussi! I understand that you don't wanna talk about it," Kim Namwoon patted his back comfortingly, trying to show his support.

Dokja exhaled a deep breath. "Haaa..."

But everyone just thought that he's simply reminiscing about a (nonexistent) past relationship.

For some reason, Cale pitied him. It must be hard being misunderstood all the time.

[Prisoner of the Golden Headband objects to what his incarnation had said.]

[Demon-like Judge of Fire gasps loudly and feels offended.]

[Prisoner of the Golden Headband says the rebound between incarnation 'Kim Dokja' and 'Cale Henituse' is way more interesting.]

Cale frowned.

'What rebound?'

His internal question wasn't answered as another message popped up.

[Abyssal Black Flame Dragon is insulting their tastes.]

[Abyssal Black Flame Dragon says the forbidden flame between incarnation 'Yoo Joonghyuk' and 'Cale Henituse' is better.]

Cale's expression became more sour as seconds went by.

'What's happening...?'

[Demon-like Judge of Fire glares and declares war with the two constellations.]

[Prisoner of the Golden Headband and Abyssal Black Flame Dragon are responding to the declaration.]

Oh no.

[Secretive Plotter is frowning.]

[Everlasting Shelter of Bloodshed is laughing loudly.]

[Sovereign of Eternal Rest is eating his popcorn while wearing 3D sunglasses.]

He glared at the notifications, thinking that the upper-gods are of no help before shaking his head. Cale decided to ignore it.

Kim Dokja was the same. He was staring ahead with indifference.

Obviously, The Fourth Wall helped him to maintain it.

[The exclusive skill, 'Fourth Wall' is nullifying your mental stress.]

That message has been appearing for a while now.

'But...'

The edge of Kim Dokja's lips quirked up slightly.
