Chapter Text
In a ruined world, an uphill battle for survival ends. The Kim Dokja's Company is back in his house, everyone was exhausted because of the back-to-back scenarios they were forced to complete without the possibility of resting, plus the constant worry of everyone in the group about any action Kim Dokja takes.
"Oh, it's finally over" was the first thing Jung Heewon said as she got home and threw herself on the couch along with the children, who also looked tired "Please tell me we won't have any more scenarios for a while."
Kim Dokja also enters the room with the rest of the group, laughing a little tired he says "Probably yes." also sitting down and starts to stretch.
"That's great! We can rest a little before the next!" who says this time is Lee Hyunsung, looking more excited to receive this information.
"But we can’t have too sure..." Han Sooyoung adds, showing her view of the situation.
"Sooyoung noona/unnie is so pessimistic!" the children say, discouraged by the possibility that there will be more scenarios coming so soon.
Yoo Sangah laughs a little at the situation "Don't be like that, Sooyoung." and the accused mutters something incomprehensible before replying "I'm only talking possibilities."
While Yoo Joonghyuk stands by watching the casual scene unfold, Kim Dokja notices the small seclusion of his life-and-death companion.
Is this bastard sunfish having regressive depression again?
Sighing, Kim Dokja speaks up again, "It doesn't matter now, how about we get some rest? We worried about it later." everyone seemed shocked by this statement, even Yoo Joonghyuk furrowed his brows at this.

"Ba-aaht?"
"Did Dokja-ssi get sick in the middle of the scenarios?" Heewon mutters to Hyunsung who sat in the space next to her, "I don't know." he replies.
The room goes silent for another moment until Han Sooyoung shouts, "This fool has gone mad for good! Seolhwa-ssi take a look at it!"
Lee Seolhwa actually starts to get closer, looking a little worried at the stupid squid before he desperately speaks "Hey, hey, I just told us to rest! What's wrong with that?"
"He's plotting something, let's arrest him" Jung Heewon says grimly looking suspiciously at her friend, who seems cornered by the unexpected situation.
Everyone was ready to act, until Yoo Joonghyuk finally utters "Leave him," Kim Dokja lets out a sigh, he will surely thank him afterwards "if this fool is planning something, I will arrest him myself."
Bastard sunfish!
With that everyone calmed down and relaxed again, while Kim Dokja seemed to have been betrayed looking at all of them with a shocked expression "Don't look at us like that, it was very unusual to hear YOU saying it right away." Han Sooyoung concludes this matter by turning to go to her room.
Everyone started to follow suit and go to their own rooms, Hyunsung mutters an apology to Kim Dokja before leaving, who only sighs for the hundredth time that day.
Staying in the room only Yoo Joonghyuk and him, Kim Dokja turns to look at his companion who was already staring at him, finding it odd he mutters "What is it?"
Yoo Joonghyuk completely ignores the other person in the room, looking away he just says "I'm going to make lunch" and heads out to the kitchen, leaving the poor confused squid alone.

[Kim Dok ja is a fool]
Don't even tell me.

It was lunchtime, Han Sooyoung could smell Yoo Joonghyuk's food coming through the cracks of her room, heading towards the kitchen, she can see the members of the group already waiting in the dining room "Sooyoung unnie also came by the smell of food?" Lee Jihye asks when she notices her presence in the room.
"Yes, it looks smellier than normal" she speaks, approaching the table and sitting down next to Yoo Sangah, the others looked dumbfounded, then turning to the direction everyone was looking at, she saw Yoo Joonghyuk cooking, but wait a while he was humming happily as if this was natural?
"Is this bastard in a good mood or what?!" Han Sooyoung's shrill voice interrupted the singing, and soon a pair of cold eyes turned to her, making all the air freeze along with everyone's bones, especially those of the culprit for it.
Yoo Joonghyuk seemed to be about to kill anyone—Han Sooyoung—when "Hey, I heard a scream from there from the room, what happened?" appears a Kim Dokja with his face half crumpled from sleep, holding Biyoo in his lap and accompanied by two children who seemed worried, they all seemed to have just woken up.
Should she call them saviors?
She only knew that when she looked at Yoo Joonghyuk again, her murderous gaze had left the scene, being replaced by something softer for a moment before returning to the bitch face resting from forever "Nothing happened, Han Sooyoung is just being noisy."
What change is that, bastard? You were going to kill me!
"Oh, okay then." then he starts to move back to the room.
"Kim Dokja, sit down, the food is ready" Yoo Joonghyuk says turning off the stove and ending some dishes.
"I'll do it, I'll just wash my face" When Kim Dokja left leaving the children in the dining room, the mood seemed to change slightly.
"Sooyoung noona is very noisy" complains Lee Gilyoung taking his place at the table. Shortly after Shin Yoosung does the same by jumping a chair, clearly left for Kim Dokja "Ahjussi seemed to be sleeping so peacefully..." She sighs resignedly.
Hearing the complaints, Han Sooyoung can feel her skin burning because of the angry look Joonghyuk is giving her, she decides to ask something that is making her curious.
"Did the fool really sleep?" with a tone that sounded incredulous, but of course, they were talking about Kim Dokja "That sounds very unusual."
"But it's normal since ahjussi doesn't rest much and the last few scenarios were pretty tiring for everyone." Shin Yoosung defends her point, as she begins to grab some food and take her mouth.
"Besides, me and Shin Yoosung also slept, we only woke up a little before hyung." Gilyoung adds.
"I'm glad Dokja-ssi is resting!" Sangah is the one who says this time, having the mood invigorated by the conversation, which also seemed to be effective in improving everyone's mood "Yes, noona! Ahjussi looked so cute hugging Biyoo-ah in his sleep."
"Ba-aaht!" Biyoo whirled through the air letting out adorable little noises, very excited, then Gilyoung added, "I managed to take a picture before hyung woke up."

And everyone seemed to be thinking the same thing, since when is the channel open?
"Baat!" Biyoo sings happily still flying and spinning over their heads.
Streamer instinct...

When Kim Dokja arrives in the dining room, there is a group of people surrounding something like animals cornering a prey, even Yoo Joonghyuk seems to be interested in whatever it is, when he gets closer, he can hear sounds like "Own~" and phrases like "Adorable" deciding to turn on his constellation message notifications by reflex, he sees a similar reaction.
What's so cute?
"What are you guys doing?" in a second everyone stiffens, before turning around like guilty dogs being caught, what are they looking at?
"So what is it?" the tone of his voice coming out like a true crew chief, takes effect as everyone straightens up and starts to make their way through, he sees his dear child, Lee Gilyoung, in the center holding a cell phone turned on in what appears to be a photo, but before he can look right at that, the child turns the phone to himself.
He approaches the child who carries a guilty look, he begins to get a sense of whatever is in this picture, it is not something pleasant, at least not for him "Gilyoung-ah, show me, yes?" he says as he kneels to stand at the child's height, looking so lovingly that anyone can feel his heart warm.

I didn't expect all this commotion , the people in the room also look surprised, but he has to focus on the situation "Gilyoung-ah, can you show me?" he tries again, the child seems almost convinced, then he concludes "I'm not going to get angry, you know that." he never really got angry with any of his kids.
"I know, Hyung, sorry" he turns his phone to the half-lowered adult, who in turn widens his eyes "Sorry even Hyung-" he starts desperately but stops talking when he sees a small soft laugh come out of the adult "Hyung?"
"Now I understand, Biyoo-ah looks really cute in this picture" and the room is silent for a moment, everyone feels that he did not understand what the comments were really about, after all Biyoo is always cute, but everyone decides to put it aside and go back to eating.
Kim Dokja can feel small stares being directed at him, but decides to ignore it or rather, he can't help but ignore it as he is focused on his delicious meal, the constellations remain silent as they eat, everything returning to normal.
When they finish eating, a familiar sound is heard, and everyone in the dining room petrifies, was it a new scenarios? Now?!
A small bluish window opened in front of all of them, it was really a scenario, but different from the usual.
