But Kim Dokja had to get him on his side.

This little kid will grow up to be one of the strongest incarnations. It would definitely be a great help to him.

Ji Hui stared at the man he had met at the Supermarket that had just been staring at him. He began feeling uncomfortable.

'is he a pedophile that likes children?'

Kim Dokja was looking at him as if he was a piece of steak infront of a starving man.

Kim Dokja snapped from his trance. "What–Huh?"

He saw Ji Hui's suspicious stare and embarrassingly covered his mouth and coughed. "Cough–Um, right. I'm glad you're okay."

Ji Hui still didn't belive him. Pancake didn't either.

"Sorry–There were..things on my mind." Kim Dokja tried to explain. Ji Hui was now even more sure of his suspicions.

Dokja was a pedophile.

"Then– Hui-SSi, would you like to be a part of my group?" Ji Hui wasn't expecting that.

[ The constellation 'Emperor of the abyss' provokes her. ]

[ The constellation 'Sea tyrant' is hoping they will fight. ]

[ 1,000 coins have been sponsored. ]

...

'They are no help.'

Ji Hui didn't know if he should agree but decided to anyway. It was better to be apart of a group for now.

He could always leave later.

"Then..okay.." He answered Kim dokja who was practically jumping for joy on the inside.

"That's a relief!" Yoo sangah said from beside him. She had been worried about him but now she was glad that he joined the group.

The rest of the group came by one by one and introduced themselves. So Ji Hui had now met the whole group.

"Here, take this." Kim dokja handed him a chocolate bar.

Ji hui glanced at him to ask if he was serious. "This time its free but next time you have to pay." He said handing the rest of the group food.

Ji Hui had his own rations that where wrapped by Pancakes tail but free food is free food.

"H-Huh? How much?"

"Don't you all have coins? It's ten for one."

"T-That..." Lee Hyunsung and Yoo sangah's faces filled with confusion. It seems they didn't expect this.

It was only fair but Ji hui would share his food.

He was starving and this chocolate bar would help so he'd eat half of the rations he found. He could always get more later anyways.

"Of course. I will pay right now. I don't need freebies." The women that had been lying on the bench injured spoke.

'I thought she was dead.'

Ji Hui said munching a large bag of chips he had gotten from his bag. It isn't the time to be making this look.

"I am Jung Heewon. Thank you for your help this morning."

"It's nothing."Jung Heewon turned to the rest to the group and continued speaking.

"Yoo Sangah-ssi, Lee Hyunsung-ssi. Everyone, Please wake up.  It isn't the time to be making this look. This food, he obtained it by risking his life. do you expect to get it for free?"

"Ah.." Yoo sangah cheeks turned red from embarrassment. "I was short-sighted, I'm sorry. Of course we should pay..It is right. I don't like freebies either. I hate depending on other people."

"I also agree with Yoo Sangah-ssi. I will pay coins from now one."

Everyone paid from their food. Gilyoung gave a bit more since he had gotten more food but then everyone looked at Ji Hui who was now devoring a sandwich that hadn't expired yet.

Ji Hui frowned and held the bag close. "This is mine."

He looked like a cat guarding hsi treasures.

Kim Dokja sighed and explained. "Hui, found these himself...Those are his."

Everyone nodded in understanding but Ji Hui still looked at them like a wary cat.

'These are mine.' He thought to himself. He would give them up.

Fun fact : Ji Hui named the shadow beast Pancake because he was hungry.
