...?

Hana tries not to keep her empathy online all the time while she's working, but she was in the middle of squishing this rescued victim's panic and fear, and can't help but feel the flare of - something - that comes from the portal.

She doesn't go outside to look. She doesn't say anything. If she's needed, someone will come get her. (It's the procedure.)

She's most certainly not needed, not once he's recovered enough breath to get a commscreen and teleport home.

The crashing noise of Jaeha teleporting and failing to hold his weight up makes Insoo jump to his feet and, once he sees the source of the commotion, run to him to try to help him to his feet. "Hyung? Hyung, what happened, I thought—"

Permalink

"Don't touch me," Jaeha spits, slapping Insoo's hand away.

Permalink

"—hyung, what the fuck—"

Permalink

"Shut up. Just—shut up, Insoo, before I lose my patience."

Permalink

"Right, unlike whatever you're doing right now."

Permalink

"...sorry. I—"

Permalink

"Oh, fuck your sorries, what's the excuse this time?"

"Whatever, hyung, you can deal with it on your own. I'll, I'll call you later. When I feel like it." See how it feels when it's him.

Permalink

"Insoo-ya—"

Permalink

He buys a teleport off his own savings and vanishes.

Fuck. Fucking—fuck. Fuck Nightmare, and fuck Kim Hye-jin, and fuck Kim Insoo, and fuck Min Woo-young, and fuck Park Yeonho, and most of all fuck Kang Jaeha.

Feeling sorry for himself is not going to get anything done, though, and since he's clearly not fit for any more dungeon work today he should get something actually productive done.

He opens his commscreen, connects somewhere he shouldn't be able to, opens an app that shouldn't exist, and checks messages he shouldn't be able to read.

Permalink

Nothing.

Just how much time and money is he going to have to sink into this?

He selects a contact whose name is a random string of digits—all contacts in that app are—and hits call.

Permalink

They pick up after two rings. "Speaking," says a suitably anonymised voice.

Permalink

"How have you made zero progress so far?"

Permalink

"Has anyone ever told you you're an asshole?"

Permalink

"Yes."

Permalink

"They should tell you that more often.

"I haven't made zero progress, asshole-nim, but if it was easy to find the kind of person who can get into a fucking A-rank dungeon and shoot an S-rank esper they wouldn't get to shoot many of those, would they?"

Permalink

"I'm paying you too much money to listen to this shit."

Permalink

"And I appreciate the money, don't get me wrong, I do! But I can't do literal magic, asshole-nim."

Permalink

"Can you at least give me a progress report that's useful?"
