Finding Peace in Hell

[You have all died.]

Jiho was alone in her dorm room, working on her self-introduction, when a violent earthquake struck.

Then, an eerie announcement echoed through the speakers.

[Judgment will now begin. In a moment, the 8th floor of the dormitory will be sealed.]

Trapped in what felt like hell itself, Jiho encountered a strangely unfamiliar male student—Pyeonghwa.

“…What’s wrong with you?”

“What?”

“You don’t know Pyeonghwa? Go Pyeonghwa. We’re in the same year!”

“What are you talking about? This is the first time I’ve seen you….”

Pyeonghwa silently watched Jiho, his gaze locked onto her as if he couldn’t look away.

“So, you’re saying… you’ve forgotten everything about me?”

At Pyeonghwa’s words, Jiho gaped in disbelief.

“No, I’m telling you, we’ve never met before! The weird one isn’t me, it’s—”

“Our relationship reset to zero? That won’t do.”

Go Pyeonghwa scowled, frustration evident in his voice—maybe even anger.

Then, looking straight at Jiho, who stood frozen in confusion, he spoke.

“Fine. It’s okay. I’ll remember for both of us.”

“……”

“You just need to stay by my side.”
