Chapter 804: Promise (4)
Despite coming to the amusement park with the Hojok, Kim Shin-rok couldn't relax and enjoy himself.
It was because he was consumed with thoughts about the crisis Seong Guk-eon was facing and how to respond to it.
Jo Yi-shin had advised Hwang Ho and Kim Shin-rok, as members of the Hojok, to contact Seong Guk-eon and work with him.
‘I should contact Seong Guk-eon to collaborate, as Jo Yi-shin suggested, but...’
Moreover, wasn't Seong Guk-eon facing a crisis?
Now was the time to come up with a plan, yet Kim Shin-rok felt self-reproach over his hesitation.
The Hojok members, knowing Kim Shin-rok's struggle, didn't pressure him, making his burden even heavier.
‘But there’s no more time. When Jo Yi-shin first mentioned it, he said I should have made up my mind at least a month ago.’
At that time, Jo Yi-shin had made it clear that if Kim Shin-rok wasn’t ready, he would personally contact Seong Guk-eon and Jeong Mu-yeong to carry out a replay.
The word "replay" made Kim Shin-rok feel a sense of unease.
Replays began with practical exams in December, and the death of two characters in the game would occur in May, meaning a year and a half of nightmares.
He recalled the confusion on the faces of Jeok-ho and Yong Je-geon, who had experienced a replay lasting about a year, and that worried him.
