Episode 68 “What are you talking about?” “Exactly what I said. I need your help, unnie.” “…Explain. Now.” “It’s… I don’t want to be a sacrifice. Please help me, unnie.” I’d assumed this was just another ordinary cult—one that swindles money, brainwashes people, or maybe, on the extreme side, pushes them to mass suicide. That’s…

Episode 67 “…” I scanned the room with a hawk-like gaze, hunting for anything amiss. Nothing particularly stood out, but I couldn’t let my guard down. Staying vigilant, I turned to Ga-eun, asleep on the bed. Its plushness reminded me of the bed in the supermarket’s basement. I finally felt a little better about getting…

Episode 66 The rhythmic jolts made me nauseous. When I forced my heavy eyelids open because it felt like I was carsick, I was met with the blur of a cityscape whipping past and the murmur of voices around me. “…?” I stared blankly at the scenery in front of my eyes for a moment…

Episode 65 “A kraken…?” “Yeah. A kraken—that giant squid-or-octopus monster. It’s a cephalopod, so its body is flexible enough to move freely underwater. Plus, all those long tentacles? Imagine how efficient it would be to use them to trap and crush that thing.” He listened to me and seemed to be pondering. “Is it not…

Episode 64 I was so stunned that I shoved him away with all my strength. He let go without resistance, but the momentum sent me sinking deeper. ‘Damn it!’ Just then, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me upward. His arm locked around my waist to anchor me to him as he surged toward the…

Episode 63 “Ji-ah?” The sound of her calling me finally allowed me to tear my gaze away from the screen that had appeared before me. “Yes?” “What are you looking at with such a serious expression? There’s nothing there.” She glanced in the direction I had been staring at and tilted her head in confusion….

Episode 62 I slowly opened my mouth, which had been shut, and uttered one word with great difficulty. “…Okay.” Finally, the thought that had been swirling in my mind since earlier left my lips. “Let’s go back to the entrance.” “It is the best decision.” “Jun-woo, come this way!” Once the decision was made, the…

Episode 61 “Ji-ah!” As soon as he recognized me, he called out to me urgently, as if he had found a savior. But when he saw the mermaid banging on the tank as if trying to break it, he froze in fear. I didn’t have the luxury to wait for him to regain his senses,…

Episode 60 “Do-yoon, let’s go too.” Recalling their backs as they disappeared into the aquarium just now, I pulled him by the hand. “Why did they have to go in there?” “That’s not important right now. We’ll get separated at this rate. Hurry, let’s catch up to them.” He reluctantly followed me into the aquarium…

Episode 59 [Back to Ji-ah’s POV] “You have the others beside this, right, noona? ” The moment I heard those words, it felt like my heart dropped to the floor. How did he…? I was sure I had picked them all up secretly without the others’ knowledge, so I had no idea how on earth…

Episode 58 Arriving at the door of the last screening room at last, the two of us stood silently for a moment, not saying a word. Then, I grabbed the door handle, clearing my mind of the words she had just spoken, and opened the door to go inside. “Huh…? Why is there nothing here?”…

Episode 57 [Do-yoon’s POV]     I didn’t like the fact that I had to leave her behind. Especially to be alone with that guy… He looked so frail that he seemed more likely to fall over with a light push, and if something happened, rather than protecting her, he would probably get beaten first….

Episode 56 As the atmosphere became weird after the shocking revelation, I stood up from my seat. “Come to think of it, we haven’t checked all the theaters yet, right? There’s one left.” “Ah, that’s right. There’s one left.” “Let’s go check that one out too.” “One left?” “Ah, Jun-woo, you don’t know. We were…
