Myul-Mang walks with her across the street and tells her she can call him when she's scared. She asks, "How will I call you when I don't even have your number?" He replies, "You could have just said 'Doom'."

She notes, "You sound like you're on my side." He responds, "You hoped that I was on your side, but I'm not."
Myul-Mang asks how her day was, hoping for something doom-worthy. Dong-kyung, in turn asks what happens if she doesn't uphold her end of the contract and dies without wishing for doom. He answers casually, "Someone else will die instead - the person you love most," his tone devoid of concern for her feelings, as if the life of the person she loves most holds little significance to him.

Dong-kyung is horrified at this penalty of breaking the contract, but Myul-mang says she already agreed to this contract. She calls him a scammer, pulling her hand away as she starts to walk away. However, she pauses when he asks if knowing this would have changed her decision.

Suddenly, she finds herself back at the intersection, the white truck barreling towards her once more. Myul-Mang assures her they will handle this fairly and offers her another chance to choose. Myul-mang says with a smirk

"Make up your mind quickly, or else you'll die.

-It's all give and take.

Think carefully.

All that you earned in life is made up of all that you've lost."

In a voice filled with anguish, she screams at him, "Why....why me? Why me, of all people? " When he responds with "It's fate," Dong-kyung's voice trembles as she sighs in disbelief and replies, "Well isn't it cruel?"

He says "Fate is cruel to everyone."

The irony isn't lost on Myul-mang who repeats the goddess's words that fate is cruel to all. He thinks back to when he asked the same question to Shin.

With the truck almost upon her, Dong-kyung yells for Myul-Mang to stop. In an instant, the environment changes back to night, and the truck is nowhere to be seen, leaving Dong-kyung trembling with relief.

"See? I told you it wouldn't matter," Myul-Mang says with a satisfied smirk, his eyes glinting with amusement. Dong-kyung, her anger boiling over, marches over to him, her fists clenched tightly. With a swift motion, she delivers a resounding slap across his face, the sound echoing in the still night air.

Tears well up in her eyes as she trembles with emotion. "Bastard," she chokes out, her voice quivering with fury and hurt.

Before she can continue, Myul-Mang interjects with a mocking chuckle. He remarks saying "I get that a lot," his tone dripping with sarcasm, further stoking her ire. "Are you having fun pulling that prank on me?" she demands, her voice laced with frustration and hurt.

With a dismissive shrug, Myul-Mang meets her tear-filled gaze with a cold indifference. "That's why I told you, I'm not on your side," he retorts, his tone dripping with condescension. "It's your call, But I'll always respect whatever decision you make, even if it leads to your downfall."

As Dong-kyung reels from his callous words, a sudden chill fills the air. She looks up to see a figure in a white suit materialize on the other side of the road, the newcomer's smirk sending shivers down her spine. It's none other than Angma, the mysterious entity that only Myul-Mang and Shin knew of.

"Myul-Mang, who is..." Dong-kyung begins, but her words falter as Myul-Mang interrupts her.

"Angma," Myul-Mang utters, his grip firm as he gently guides her behind him, his voice taut with tension. "Stay behind me, Tak Dong-kyung."

(Angma is the korean word for the devil .)

Dong-kyung's confusion deepens as she watches the interaction between Myul-Mang and the newcomer. Angma steps forward, his smirk widening as he locks eyes with Myul-Mang.

"Well, well, well," Angma sneers, his voice dripping with malice. "If it isn't my dear little brother, with a girl ."

Myul-Mang's jaw clenches at the mention of "little brother," his expression hardening. "Don't you dare call me that," he replies icily, his eyes flashing with anger, while Dong-kyung looks . Angma says "It's been a long time since we met."

  Before anyone could react, Angma snapped his fingers, freezing time in its tracks. With a menacing glint in his eyes, he clenched his fists, summoning a powerful force that pulled Myul-Mang towards him with unstoppable momentum.

Caught off guard, Myul-Mang found himself suspended in mid-air, helpless against Angma's relentless grasp. With a cruel smirk, Angma tightened his grip around Myul-Mang's throat, his fingers digging into the flesh with an iron grip.

  With a sudden and violent motion, Angma hurled Myul-Mang towards a nearby petrol pump with terrifying force. The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air, igniting a fiery explosion that engulfed Myul-Mang in a searing inferno of flames.

Dong-kyung's heart lurches in horror as she watches the scene unfold before her eyes. But amidst the chaos, she notices something strange - a trickle of blood seeping from Myul-Mang's temple, staining his pale skin crimson.

Angma, satisfied with his handiwork, He then glances at Dong-kyung with a smirk and vanishes into thin air, leaving Dong-kyung and Myul-Mang alone amidst the wreckage.

With a surge of panic, Dong-kyung rushes to Myul-Mang's side, her hands trembling as she brushes his hair aside to inspect the wound. But to her astonishment, the blood begins to recede, the wound closing up before her eyes.

  Myul-Mang grits his teeth against the pain, his expression tense with effort. With a deep breath, he manages to suppress the injury, his skin healing over without a trace. Dong-kyung's eyes widen in disbelief as she watches the miraculous recovery. She meets Myul-Mang's gaze, her voice barely a whisper. "You... you're bleeding," she says, her voice trembling with awe and uncertainty.

 But Myul-Mang merely offers her a cryptic smile, his eyes betraying a hint of vulnerability beneath their steely exterior. "It's nothing," he replies dismissively, though Dong-kyung can sense the weight of his words. There's more to Myul-Mang than meets her eye, and Dong-kyung is determined to uncover the truth, no matter the cost.
