[The remaining time before scenario #4 ends is 40 hours.]

Barrow awoke from his sleep and he immediately looked to his right. Cale was not there. Immediately he panicked.

"I'm here hyung," Cale said before Barrow could make a fuss. He sat on Barrow's left with Alberu. The two of them were enjoying tea time with apple pie as a snack.

Barrow smiled gently. He was relieved that Cale was still here, with him. Cale did not disappear. And he was not going to let Cale disappear again.

He felt something wrapped around his body. It turned out to be the hoodie-coat that Cale was wearing earlier. He was sure that it was Cale who had draped the hoodie over his body. What a joy.

But wait.

"Cale, this black shirt isn't yours right? Who does it belong to?"

"It belongs to Han Sooyoung," Cale answered nonchalantly to Barrow's question.

Alberu frowned. "Is that the name of the First Apostle?"

"Yes."

Barrow didn't like it. Alberu was no exception. They looked at the hoodie with annoyed faces.

"Cale, just throw that shirt away. If you want, I can give you a black coat like that," Alberu said.

"Throw it away? But it's not mine. I have to give it back first." Cale turned his head toward Barrow. "Barrow hyung, don't grab it like that. You'll regret it later."

Barrow's hand twitched. He immediately released his grip from the hoodie-coat. His lips pursed.

Alberu could only sigh and indulge Cale. "Okay, let's continue our conversation earlier. So you also read that novel?"

Cale nodded briefly. "Yes. But I didn't finish reading. Less than 10 chapters I stopped." His eyes then glanced at the sleeping Kim Dokja. "But it seems that guy knows a lot about the novel. He even remembers about hidden items. That information can't be found in the early chapters."

Alberu took a sip of tea and put his cup back down.  "That's because he read it to the end."

"Oh..."

'It's great that he can read the novel to the end.'

"By the way Cale, during the first scenario, who did you kill?" asked Barrow enthusiastically. He could not leave Alberu and Cale deep in conversation alone.

Cale was just about to stuff an apple pie into his mouth, and stopped having to answer Barrow's question first. "I kill mosquitoes."

"Huh? Mosquitoes? You didn't kill people?"

"No."

"Eh? How? Shouldn't we kill living things... ah..." Barrow had just realized it. There is no need to kill humans to survive.

"Let me guess, you haven't thought about it at all?" Alberu pointed at Barrow while squinting.

"Absolutely not. I immediately killed everyone in front of me," said Barrow casually. His face showed no guilt.

Cale and Alberu looked at each other. They couldn't say anything more.

"Alberu."

Someone called, the three then turned to the source of the sound. A woman with long black hair was standing next to Alberu. It's Jung Heewon.

Jung Heewon stared at the cup filled with tea and apple pie for a moment. She couldn't stop thinking. How could they be this relaxed in the middle of a scenario. She didn't question where the cups and food came from, because she knew Alberu had a dimension storage pocket.
