Experiencing something for the first time would always be a special moment.

The sensation of going to Paradise was… somewhat like sinking into the depths of the ocean. Seol felt his entire body becoming heavy and sluggish.

After quietly closing his eyes, Seol Jihu felt his body emerging out into the open air. When he opened his eyes, the transfer gate from the temple was behind him, still emitting that mysterious light.

“You're finally here.”

He also saw Kim Hannah waiting for him.

He had finally returned to Paradise. This would be his second time entering this world.

Seol Jihu presented his slip to the counter and received a key in return. He quickly made his way to the storage to retrieve his gear. He confirmed that the gold '8' changed to silver, returned the key, and exited from the temple.

“Will it be fine if I don't accompany you?”

“No, it'll be fine. I know you're really busy, anyways.”

“Then, how about only until the South gate?”

“I said, I'm fine.”

A woman persistently sticking to the clearly irritated man – of course, they were putting on an act for others to see. When she was in Paradise, Kim Hannah had to be seen as loyal to Sinyoung.
