"....."

'Why is she like this?'

Cale was looking at Yoo Sangah weirdly. Although he knew what she was like in the beginning thanks to Kim Dokjas memories. It was weird seeing her like this.

Cale's mouth moved subconsciously. (right he just gotta talk😆)

"Yoo Sangah-ssi, you couldn't have known the world would turn to this. It's not you or anyone's fault."

Not really, it is someone's fault but we won't talk about that.

Cale gave a short peek towards Kim Dokja and continued.

"You only did what you liked, right? Plus, you helped translate what the 'dark keeper' was saying. It was helpful in a way. We would've had children if not for you."

'It won't be helpful much though. '

Cale added on.

"You deserve a break, you can't push yourself so hard now. It's only the start of the apocalypse, we have time to improve. Each person is different and unique in their own way. You'll adapt soon enough. You can't compare yourself with Dokja-ssi or anyone else. "

Cale was speaking as if he was coaxing a child. Well, he kinda was, a big child.

" You also can't compare yourself with Choi Han, Alberu, or Kim Namwoon. They are people who have practised fighting even before the apocalypse. Just like Heewon-ssi too. She learned kendo."

Cale took a moment of silence observing Yoo Sangah before adding the finishing touch.

" And you, learned Spanish. So, you can't compare yourself with other people, it will only make you feel bad about yourself. Don't set other people as your standard or goal. Everyone is different in their own way. "

After Cale said that, he smiled. It was quite genuine, if he had to say.

Cale turned to face Lee Gilyoung after that. He stroked his hair.

" You too, Gilyoungie. "

" Yes, hyung. "

Gilyoung only nodded. Cale smiled even more at that though. He knows that this kid understands quicker than anyone else.

Cale glanced over to Kim Dokja then. He seemed to be thinking about something.

'Ah, right. He was supposed to speak. Whatever, what's done is done.' (yuh whats done is done
-Cale henituse😎)

Cale just shrugged it off. He could see Kim Dokja's lips part.

"What is the box for?"

"Huh? Ah, this…"

Yoo Sangah said as she looked at the box. There were unknown characters written on the box.

"Random…item box?"

"Uh…that…um. So that is what it means."

Kim Dokja was a bit embarrassed. Yoo Sangah cried out,

"Quickly use it, Dokja-ssi!"

"…Is it okay?"

I could see Lee Gilyoung nod, Yoo Sangah was okay with it but how about Cale? I don't think he would be okay with just giving away something. From what I know in Ways of Survival he's not a character who gives things away so easily. Huh?

He was nodding too. He looked happy while nodding. No, why is he like this? Does he know something about the box?....

"You don't need to worry about us. All the items obtained here are yours. That is obvious."
