Chapter 369. The Awaiting One (3) (Teaser)
What Seol Jihu saw when he first opened his eyes was a boulder.
A boulder that had grown to the size of a house was filling his line of sight.
At that moment, Baek Haeju, who was standing in front of him absent-mindedly, stretched her left arm to the side.
