On the wall, original sketches of "W" characters, by Oh Sung-Moo.
Kang Chul, Yoon So-Hee, Do-Yoon.

~

Hyung, I never showed you your original sketches?!

Do-Yoon, Yeon-Joo and Kang Chul at the table, having tea after dinner. Cordial mood.

-

(embarrassed, nods no) Aaah, no thanks.

-

(obvious) Don't you want to know where you come from?

-

Do-Yoon, I heard you like to read.

-

Sure.

-

(smiles, points to the shelf behind him) There's the complete set of "W" here!

Do Yoon turns around and sees the manhwa lined up on the shelf.

-

(uncomfortable, shakes his hand) Aaah... no, really.

-

... ?! ("what's the problem?")

-

(doesn't know how to get out of it, looks around) ... I'm going to...

He sees a manhwa of "Butterfly Girl" lying on the table in the workshop.

-

(shows the manhwa) ... I'm going to read this instead. (stands up)

Do-Yoon takes the manhwa on the table. Next to it...
His eyes are drawn to the "Butterfly Girl" tablet.

-

... ?! (sees something strange on it)

-

(turns to them, pointing to the tablet) Is that normal?

Kang Chul and Yeon-Joo come to see quickly.

-

!!!

-

!!!

On the tablet, the ending image of "Butterfly Girl", but....
... Without the word "END"!!!

-

(hidden joy) This means... the manhwa can continue?

-

(feels the mystery) It doesn't say... "TO BE CONTINUED"...?

Yeon-Joo and Kang Chul look at each other in dismay. Do-Yoon is lost.
Yeon-Joo approaches the "blank image" button with her trembling finger.
She clicks it. No blank page appears.

-

... !!

click... click... click. She tries several times, but the screen remains stuck on the end image.

-

... Try to draw on it.

Yeon-Joo, hesitating... takes the electronic stylus, draws a line on the screen...
Nothing is printed!
She draws other lines, nothing. The end image, intact.
They look at each other again, incredulous... shivering of a new phenomenon.

-

(annoyed) Really. These crazy stories never end.

The end image on the tablet...

... dissolve from "image" to "real".
Soo-Bong confused, stares at the word "END" displayed near the old car.

-

(cruel smile) Let's go get my treasure!

Jin In-Jin walks towards Soo-Bong and Ren-Bo.
His henchmen follow him, looking at each other...

GUM, GUM, GUM. All the henchmen have their weapons wiped out!

-

By all the demons!

... worried or confused.

Soo-Bong takes a look behind the tree, sees them approaching, ... !!
Worried, he thinks quickly. Then delicately...
He puts the mummy of Ren-Bo on the ground.

-

I'm sorry my angel.

He steps back and looks at her sadly.

-

But I won't let you down.

He looks one last time... The word "END" still displayed! It doesn't want to disappear.

-

Wait for me!

Then he runs towards the forest.

Jin In-Jin and his men are a few steps away from Ren-Bo.

-

(sees Soo-Bong running away) President, should we go after him?

-

Let the coward run.

-

(looks at Ren-Bo) Now that I have what I want, he doesn't matter.

-

Load my new collection piece into the van.

-

President! The van is gone!

-

(mumbles) The weapons, then the van disappearing...

POW!! POW!!! Kang Chul fires twice.

Kang Chul is no longer in the old car with Soo-Bong and Ren-Bo.

-

Looks like their sniper deserted!

-

(quizzical) A sniper out of nowhere, then back to it...

-

(frowns) Mhh. Maybe this guy has something to do with it.

-

... ? (waits for orders)

-

Track him discreetly and report back to me.

-

As ordered, President (trots off into the forest)

-

Get the helicopter here.

-

Understood, President! (walks away with his smartphone)

Jin In-Jin kneels down next to Ren-Bo's mummy, and examines it.

-

Its wings have turned black? (amazed) .... So much more beautiful like this...

SKOT-SKOT-SKOT! Ren-Bo's wings are pierced by bullets.

-

(runs his finger over the wing) No bullet holes?!

He stands up and stares at her, ecstatic.

-

Sublime... the ultimate masterpiece... Untouched.

-

(cruel smile) Ready to hang on my wall...

Soo-Bong runs desperately in the woods, his shoulder bleeding again.
Out of breath, he stops in a clearing and holds his wounded shoulder.
He looks behind him, nobody. He is in the middle of the forest.
He collapses sitting on a tree stump and cries for a few moments.

-

The impossible has happened again. We must understand the reason, the nature and the consequences.

-

So listen to your Hyung! For now, you must use your head, not your heart!

Soo-Bong stops crying, a thought comes to him.
He takes out his electronic stylus from his pocket.
He strips off his shoulder, and looks at his bullet wound.
A deep gash, the bullet went through without staying.
click, he turns on the stylus... draws above his knees.
The lines appear, and then materialize... into an real compress.

-

... ?!! ("why bother with that?")

He throws away the compress, contorts himself and approaches the stylus to his shoulder.
He draws a few lines on the wound... materializing into intact skin.
He moves his shoulder to test this... No pain.
On his face, a smile of relief, and the moral pain alone.
He draws over the tree trunk... makes an energy drink appear.
While he drinks it, he thinks...

Soo-Bong confused, stares at the word "END" displayed near the old car.

~

If this is the end... Everything should be frozen here. For all eternity?

Yeon-Joo runs to Kang Chul, presumed dead against the bus shelter, at night.
"END" is drawn. Yeon-Joo is teleported to the real world, daytime.

~

(doubt) I should have automatically returned to the real world?

-

The world of "W" is back to what it was originally, independent.

-

(worried) The manhwa world is a parallel world. A real universe... it must necessarily continue.

-

(horrified) This means that... !!!

-

(tortured, hand to forehead) The manhwa seems to be frozen on an ending image but...

-

(looks around, distraught) How much? A century there is a second here?

-

(even more catastrophized) Or else... the notion of time does not have any more sense?

-

Even if I went back there... it would be after the end of time!!!

:

(shakes his head) Stop, stop, stop!

:

(determined gaze) Only one thing matters...

:

I must save Ren-Bo. I must resurrect her.

A surgical operation has just taken place, the equipment is covered with blood.
The nurses take the patient away, passing behind of...
... Professor Park facing four interns in a row, intimidated, looking guilty, except--
Won Yun-Suk, smiling stupidly.

-

(strikes his finger on the head of each) Lame!!... Lame!!... Lame!!!

Instead of pointing at Won Yun-Suk, Professor Park clenches his fist angrily.

-

(angry) You scavengers are here to kill patients? (shouts) To shred their corpses?!

-

(looking more at the ground) Seonsaingnim... This... This is not fair.

-

(comes across) What's not fair?! (slaps his head with a cap) You have the nerve to be satisfied?!

-

... Won Yun-Suk should not be scolded with us.

-

(big eyes) You claim to know better than your teacher?

-

Still... he's the one who found the blood clot in the auxiliary artery.

-

(bursts out, screams) Out! All out!!!

The students sneak out in fourth gear, happy to escape the scolding.
Won Yun-Suk doesn't move, and remains with the same dumb look.

-

Won Yun-Suk!!! I said all of you!

-

It's not that, Seonsaingnim.

-

Then what?

-

Now that the operation is over and ... ... has been saved thanks to my modest contribution...

-

!!! (irritated)

-

I thought you might like to hear the news...

-

The news? What are you talking about?!

-

... (smirking)

Professor Park understands, raises his head to the sky.

-

Oooh. That's why you're stuck here, you leech!

-

... (even more mocking)

-

(shakes hands flat, relaxes) Okay, okay...

-

("you won't manage to piss me off with that") Wang Shin is dead. No worries. Someone else will replace him.

-

(smiles more) Seonsaingnim, it's not that, he's not dead.

-

(exults, PAF, slaps his fist in his palm) Ah!!! I won!!! Up the , the dark guild!

-

(approaches, conniving) It's worse than that...

-

Worse?

-

(confused) How could it be worse than dying?!

-

(whispering in his ear) He fell in love...

-

... ?!

-

... (nods his head a few times while stepping back, looking crazy)

Then Won Yun-Suk walks out of the room with weird little laughs.

-

In love? But... he's already in a relationship with Lady Cha?!

In a corner, a smashed computer screen. (thrown on the floor in episode 08)
Park Min-Soo reads "Queen of Darkness" on his smartphone.

-

(unleashed) Romance! Romance! And the worst of all!!! The author has become as crazy as Oh Sung-Moo!

-

... The Queen of Darkness... is... Cha Yu-Sun.

-

RAAAAH!!! This royal sow throws out random spoilers!!!

-

A wonderful twist... (shouts) Totally sabotaged!!!

He calms down and stares suspiciously into the void.

-

Never mind if it stings the eyes, let's go see the enemy.

He connects his smartphone to a website with a sophisticated design. "The Dark Guild".
In the headband, a drawing of the Queen of Darkness and Cha Yu-Sun, with authentic signature!
"For the Dark Guild, my best devoted fans - Moon Mi-Ra".

-

The exclusive fans of the Queen of Darkness. ... Brainless Wang Shin haters.

He opens a page with a satirical drawing:
Wang Shin crushed by a cow with Yoon-Hee's head.
His speech bubble... "Oh dear, I'll have to milk her three times a day. She's inexhaustible."
The drawing is signed by "The King of Darkness".

Professor Park, distressed, runs his hand over his face. Then sees the comments...
"This is not funny. Wang Shin or not, the manhwa is damaged."
The comment is signed "The Prince of Darkness".

-

Some folk have a little sense in this devil's den.

-

"The Prince of Darkness"... a rival of "The King of Darkness"?

-

(vague hypothesis, mumbles) With him, there would be a way to organize a putsch in their guild?

Won Yun-Suk has his ear glued to the office door, smiling sadistically. When suddenly--
Tulululu Tulululu!, his smartphone rings loudly.

-

("damn, caught!") ... !! (picks up the phone quickly)

~Tulululu Tulululu!

-

!!! (hears the ringing outside) ... (rushes out to check)

~

Won Yun Suk ?

VLAM!, Professor Park abruptly opens and sees Won Yun-Suk on the phone.

-

Oh, it's you, great author Moon?!

-

!!!

Won Yun-Suk hurriedly walks away, dodging Professor Park's gaze.

-

What can I do for you?

-

(snarling, but also jealous) That damn leech knows author Moon?!

~

(shaking voice) ... Someone needs care...

-

You don't look well, is it for you?

~

... No... It's... a blow to the head...

-

Okay, I'll bring the equipment for that. And for the fee--

~

Anything you want... Just, it's urgent.

-

... Okay, since when has the--

~

(screaming in terror) AAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!

-

!!!

cloc, communication interrupted.

-

... ! (worried, runs towards the exit)

At the foot of a cliff overhanging a forest, a faint glow comes from a cave entrance.

Two flaming torches hanging on the walls illuminate the cave.
Princess Dong is asleep under a blanket, a bandage on her shoulder.
Next to her, Wang Shin snuffs out a fire. On the ground, the arrow and a blackened dagger.
Yoon-Hee opens her eyes, dazed, confused...

:

This cave... Have I already been here? But before... ?

:

Mi-Ra... She hit me with something in the face...

:

I went back to the real world... Again how? ... Is this the same story? The one I wrote? Like W?

-

(sees that she is awake) Ah. How do you feel?

-

Wang Shin? Is that you?

-

... ?! ... Yes... Are you tired?

-

Do you think I am pretty?

-

(!!!) ... Princess Dong! No sooner awake, and already a nonsense in the mouth?!

-

I'm serious... I need to check my story.

-

I barely noticed you when I was living in the palace. So don't expect me to recite your biographical details.

-

And answering that kind of thing to a princess... No, really!

-

Answer me... (grabs his wrist)

-

... ?!!

-

Do you find me pretty? (serious, sad)

-

(embarrassed, but feels it is serious) Well... I've never met a woman as overflowing as you, so...

-

Without making a generalization... Just look at me.

-

(sighs) ... (annoyed, but feels he must answer)

-

Do you fear to answer me truthfully?

-

Fear? ... I fear nothing. (looks at her)

-

... (deep glance between them)

-

I'll have you know that I spent my childhood in the countryside. Often sticking my arm up the cows to help them give birth.

-

So I think I'm open to a lot of things...

-

!!! (outraged)

-

Besides, Wang Shin is from the countryside, he must like big rumps! (PAF!! slaps her buttocks)

-

(dismayed) Even in my version, the big sounded more romantic. (heavy sigh) But it fits.

-

(ironic) You know how to talk to women, you...

-

You misunderstood me.

-

You have feminine attributes that are unmistakable, even to the blind. You would have all the assets to seduce an available man.

-

... ?

-

Satisfied? Any other foolishness to ask?

:

This is the expected scenario, it goes on from one world to another, but...

-

(looks at the bandage on her arm, confused) You took the arrow out? I was here?!

-

(smiles, jaded) I hope so!

-

(mumbles, worried) When Yeon-Joo went in and out... She disappeared from one world and went to the other?

-

(hears vaguely) ... in and out... (amused)

:

(closes eyes, concentrates) When I came here, I took the identity of Princess Dong.

Yoon-Hee pulls out some leafy branches, and uncovers a mechanical hang glider hidden underneath.

-

It's here!

-

Yes, it's here. Exactly where we hid it one hour ago.

:

But Princess Dong already existed before I arrived. And when I'm not... "in her"... She continues to live here.

:

What happened in the real world? I disappeared in front of Mi-Ra?

Mi-Ra is sitting in front of Yoon-Hee's tablet.

-

Boo hoo hoo... (heartbreaking, remorseful crying fit)

{RECALL INSERT, Ep16 - Mi-Ra's workshop (night).}

-

That was your assistant, earlier.

-

!!!! (shock, cold sweat) ... ?!! (look everywhere, "something is spying on me?!!")

-

It was that filthy hacker who did it. Boo hoo hoo... He tinkered with the tablet and published this episode.

-

Yoon-Hee had nothing to do with it. Boo hoo hoo... She tried to tell me... I didn't even let her talk.

-

Boo hoo hoo... And I did that to her... (devastated, looks at Yoon-Hee)

She gets up painfully, goes to open a drawer, and takes a business card from it.
It says, "Son Jun-Gi, IT expert".

-

(torn with grief, angry) Jun-Gi is gonna find that son of a . (grits her teeth) I'll kill him, I'll really kill him.

-

(sad, looks at Yoon-hee) But he mustn't see her here.

-

(looks at the blanket) Maybe by rolling her over, and dragging to her room?

-

(changes her mind, cries) No! I can't leave her like this...

-

(doubt) ...

Clic-Clac. A policeman handcuffs Mi-Ra.
The nurses put Yoon-Hee on a stretcher.

-

Miss Moon, you have the right to remain silent.

-

(sadly) What's the use...

-

A case like this, you risk prison, a serious sentence.

-

(from the living room entrance) (dangles a bag) Chief, drugs.

-

(crying) Just... a light painkiller...

-

Maybe, but our law is strict with that.

-

(to a policewoman) Any other background?

-

(hands a tablet to the chief) Yes, here is her file.

We can't see what it says, but...

-

On probation for three years.

-

(reads) Aigoo... You don't look like, but you're a serious case.

-

I doubt you'll be tanning at the beach in the next fifteen years. And certainly never... if something bad were to happen to this poor girl.

-

(crying, devastated) ...

-

(tortured, grinning horribly) ...... ... (looks at Son Jun-Gi's business card)

-

... !!!! (sudden idea, hope?)

She looks at the drawer from which she took out Son Jun-Gi's card...
... looks inside and... finds Won Yun-Suk's business card!!!

-

(cries with relief) ... Oh . (shaking, dials the number on the smartphone).

-

(it picks up!) Won Yun-Suk?

~

Oh! It's you great author Moon?!

~

What can I do for you?

-

(shaking voice) ... Someone needs care...

~

You don't look well, is it for you?

-

... No... It's... a blow to the head... (looks at the top of Yoon-Hee's head)

~

Okay, I'll bring the equipment for that. And for the fee--

-

Anything you want... Just, it's urgent. (goes to look at Yoon-Hee more closely, her face)

~

... Okay, since when has the--

-

(screaming in terror) AAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!

Mi-Ra rushes back, terrified, involuntarily drops her smartphone...
... which hits the wall and goes out.

Terrorized, Mi-Ra contemplates something as horrible as impossible...
... Yoon-Hee has no face!!!
She dares to approach... fascinated by the horror...
... No eyes, no nose, no mouth...
Just a flabby brown skin, as if dug into Yoon-Hee's face.

-

(shudder of supernatural horror) That's... That's impossible... !!!

Mi-Ra grabs a broom nearby...
... She holds it out towards Yoon-Hee... gives light blows on her body.

-

(crazy) Yoon-Hee... Yoon-Hee... Please tell me what's happening to you!

Just as dreadful... Mi-Ra sees Yoon-Hee's chest swelling steadily...
... as if she is still breathing!

-

(horrified) ... But how could she without... without...

-

That can't exist.

Yoon-Hee remains motionless... Mi-Ra puts down the broom and approaches her...
... Puts her hand on her chest to check that strange breathing.

-

Yoon-Hee, come back as you were. Wake up!

-

(frightened) Aaaaaah!!! (backs away hastily)

With frightening slowness, Yoon-Hee straightens up and stands up...

-

No, no...

Yoon-Hee stands still.

-

... !! (nervously, picks up the broom)

Mi-Ra waits a moment, dismayed, then...
... she pushes Yoon-Hee's zombie with the broom, gently.

-

Go... go that way...

Slowly, Yoon-Hee walks in the direction the broom is pushing her.

Mi-Ra leads Yoon-Hee's zombie by the bed with the broom.

-

Lie down, and be quiet.

Yoon-Hee sits on the bed, then slowly lies down in it.

-

Stay here... ("does it make sense to ask her?") ("maybe") ... Don't leave this place.

Yoon-Hee doesn't move anymore.

Mi-Ra closes the door of the guest room.
She stays for a while leaning against it, breathing heavily, her hand on her beating heart.
She closes her eyes steadily, swallowing her saliva in her dry mouth.

-

... !! (opens the door of the guest room)

She sees the bandages on the zombie's head, even darker red, coagulated blood.
Mi-Ra closes the door and takes out her smartphone.

Won Yun-Suk's white van is driving fast.
Ting!, notification sound.

Driving with one hand, Won Yun-Suk looks at his smartphone.
A message from Moon Mi-Ra.

~

I don't need you right now. I might call you back.

-

(annoyed) Ttt...

He presses the gearshift, for a slower one. The van slows down.

Exhausted by emotions, Mi-Ra pours herself a glass of cognac.
While drinking it, she remembers...

~

How are you here?

-

This correspondent died once.

-

Resurrected twice, without knowing it.

-

Then was awakened.

:

Insane words... but now... Does it make sense? This is too strange.

:

His sentences appeared instantly after mine. How can you write so fast?

:

Does this have a connection with this "correspondent"?

:

I absolutely must know who it is!! (puts down the glass of cognac)

Mi-Ra takes out Son Jun-Gi's business card, then her smartphone.

-

(looks at both) , I should just record this -kissing clique on that.

She dials his number on her smartphone.

-

Jun-Gi? I need you.

~

...

-

Yes, right away!!

~

...

-

(shouting) I ing don't care!!! Drop everything you're doing, and come on!!!

Above the city, a helicopter flies.

In the back, Ren-Bo's mummy.
Jin In-Jin's smartphone rings, he answers.

-

So, what did you find?

~

He sat down and healed his wound. I mean... completely.

-

How so? He was bleeding.

The henchman looks at Soo-Bong through binoculars.
He sees him run his electronic stylus over his shoulder.

~

He had a kind of high-tech medical scalpel.

The henchman can't see well as Soo-Bong is facing the tree stump.
He sees him turn around with a can of energy drink in his hand.

-

This guy is definitely not ordinary. What else?

The henchman sees Soo-Bong go behind a big tree, out of sight.

~

I saw him hiding behind a tree.

The henchman waits, nothing happens.

~

Nothing was moving, so I went to check.

The henchman comes behind the tree, no one!

~

But there was no one left behind the tree.

-

What is this nonsense? He climbed the tree?

~

It wasn't a tree you could climb. Too big, and no low branches.

~

And if he had continued on his way, I would have seen him.

-

You ing idiot! You're telling me you lost him?!

~

I'm sorry, President.

-

... !!! (angry, hangs up)

Helicopter arrives in sight of Jin Company's bunker building.

This is the only building high enough to receive the last sun's rays.
The helicopter lands on the roof, on a big H.

In the wind and noise, Secretary Min greets President Jin as he exits the helicopter.

-

(speaking loudly) Good evening, President Jin.

-

(happy, gets off the helicopter) ...

Two stretcher bearers head to the helicopter.

Ren-Bo's body is carried by the two stretcher bearers.
Secretary Min is walking beside Jin In Jin.

-

We didn't have time to build a dedicated room. However, we moved a partition from your showroom.

-

We created a three by three meter space. An insulated alcove, ready to house your new collection piece.

-

That will do for now.

Jin In-Jin dissolves from "real" to "image", another scene on a book read by...
Do-Yoon next to the tablet, stuck on the end image, without "END".
He detects a change...

-

!!! ... Come and see, quickly!!!

Kang Chul and Yeon-Joo run over.
On the tablet... An image finishes materializing:
Soo-Bong drops Ren-Bo's body, then--
A very short moment, Soo-Bong running towards the forest, then--
Even more briefly, Jin In-Jin examining Ren-Bo's body, then--
The drawings materialize so quickly that it's impossible to see them.

-

!!!

-

!!!

-

The manhwa has gone mad!!!

-

The sequel is shaping up... without going through "TO BE CONTINUED"?!

-

(more than he can handle) This is beyond me...

Yes, the manhwa has gone crazy, as if it's making up for lost time.
Suddenly--
SLAM!!, the sound of a door opening, coming from the bathroom.
They look and see Soo-Bong!!! At the entrance of the bathroom!

-

!!

-

!!

-

(looks around) This is not the end of eternity?!! (sees them, cries of joy) .....

-

(mad with joy) Soo-Bong!!! What the--

-

(overwhelmed) I won't leave her in this nightmare world, I'll--

KFFR, Soo-Bong is crossed by colorful interference.

-

Soo-Bong! What--

FZZT, Soo-Bong disappears!!!

-

!!!

-

!!!

-

... (too much for him)

Kang Chul looks at the tablet, we don't see it but...

-

(puzzled) .... (grabs Yeon-Joo's arm to make her turn around)

-

(looks at the tablet) .......?! (fascination, joy, doubt)

-

(looks at the tablet, serious) ... (looks at Kang Chul) ... But then, why...

-

... (thoughtful, maybe an idea)

Secretary Min opens the wide double door.
The two stretcher bearers bring in mummified Ren-Bo.
Jin In-Jin and Secretary Min enter the big office, 20 meters long and 4 meters high...
... covered with pinned insects. The largest entomology collection in this world.

-

(sniffs, annoyed) ... What's that nasty smell?

-

(sniffs) ... ? I don't know president. ... Maybe the products used for the exhibition work?

-

Fire the maintenance crew.

-

Yes, President.

Secretary Min presents with her hand a 3 meter square alcove, dug into the wall.

Inside, a table... and on a cart, fixators and big pins.
The stretcher bearers put Ren-Bo's body on the table, then go back to the office.
Jin In-Jin inspects the alcove.

At the entrance of the alcove... A big metal block, like a generator.

-

(annoyed by the mess) Fire the work crew too.

-

(??... looks at the metal block) ... The room was perfectly cleaned earlier...?!

-

(looks more at the metal block, confused) They didn't have that...

-

... ??

Jin In-Jin approaches the metal block to examine it.

sssss... A shudder. They do not notice behind them, on a wall...
The wing of a pinned butterfly jumps as the pin moves slightly.
The metal pin suddenly sticks out an inch, making the second wing move!

-

It looks like... a giant electromagnet?!

VRRRRZZZZ... The electromagnet emits a huge whirring sound.
!!! CRASHH-Kling-Crash!!! The display panels' windows explode, glass shards fly.
!!! Vooosh! Zving! Tzink!!! Total chaos, metallic projectiles fly everywhere.
Screaming, under a rain of projectiles, the stretcher bearers flee from the room.
Secretary Min rushes towards the exit, protecting herself with her arms.

CLAC!!! Jin In-Jin's watch sticks to the electromagnet!
He is prisoner, chained to the electromagnet, to which are attracted...
... all the pins of the insect collection, ejected from the displays...
... as well as all other metallic objects of the room.

-

!!!! (sees a rain of metal coming down on him)

Jin In-Jin shields his face with one arm.
Tzik! Tzik! Tzik! Tzik! Tzik! Tzik!... Thousands of pins stick into his body.

-

(screams in pain) aRaaah AAAHH!!!

All the insect mummies fall to the ground. Thousands of them.
Secretary Min makes it to the exit, bloody.

The maelstrom stops, for lack of metallic objects to attract.
The electromagnet is covered with pins and other metallic objects.

-

... (raises his head... surprised to be still alive)

-

... (horrified, looks at President Jin...)

... he's a bag of scrap metal, pins stuck everywhere but his face.
His body is bleeding from every inch, a pile of flayed meat!!!
Jin In-Jin takes off his watch, and looks around...

-

..... (more and more overwhelmed)

... indifferent to his injuries, he looks at the thousands of insects strewn on the ground.

-

(tears!!) ... My collection... (tears) ... ransacked...

-

??? ... (sees something amazing...)

Then... the phenomenon generalizes... post-mortem nerve reflexes everywhere!!

-

(!!!!) What?! (scared) They... They're coming back to life?!

The multitude of insects stops convulsing. Now... they move individually.
Butterflies, dragonflies and beetles are flying everywhere.

-

!!!!!!! (horrified!!! sees a tide of insects coming towards him)

-

(terrified) Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !!!! (insects are also coming towards her)

-

!!! (cold sweat, feels something on him) ...

VLAM!! Secretary Min closes the office door, leaving Jin In-Jin alone to his fate.

-

!!! (looks at his leg, terrified) ...

The large insect climbs up his body, followed quickly by...
... multitudes of ants of different species, climbing on its legs.

-

!!!!

A swarm of giant mosquitoes and large flies stick to him.

-

AAAAAAAHH!!! (pure terror)

He stops screaming, closes his mouth, afraid of swallowing an insect.

...!! ...! (looks down to his body, knows he will die)

The bottom of his body is a mound of monstrous insects, growing bigger and bigger...
... also covering his upper body and his head!

-

!!!! (his last vision...)

He sees the white display panel he had ordered for Butterfly Girl.
Large rectangular lines appear on it, then...
... the lines turn into a real door.
The door opens, and Soo-Bong enters the alcove, under the bright spotlights.
He walks to the table, and takes Ren-Bo in his arms...
... then leaves by the door... which fades away and becomes again a white panel.

-

rrrrrrr (last gasp) ...

Jin In-Jin is now a blackish mass of insects, without an ounce of visible skin.
His bloody body is their feast!!! ABOMINABLE.
The size of the raging mass of insects decreases by about ten centimeters...
Then decreases again, and again...

Finally, there is nothing left of the body, entirely devoured.
The insects fall back to the ground, and scatter elsewhere.
The last insect to leave the mound is a twirling green butterfly.

On the tablet, this image:
Ren-Bo, alive, in flesh, bones and wings. Moved, she is crying.
She has her hand on Soo-Bong's cheek, also moved.
He holds Ren-Bo's other hand, with both hands.
Below... "TO BE CONTINUED"!

-

Soo-Bong! What--

FZZT, Soo-Bong disappears!!!

-

She attracted him there, after that image?!

-

(probable) ... Yes.

-

(overwhelmed) I won't leave her in this nightmare world, I'll--

-

(problematic) He doesn't intend to bring her here... ?

-

Is there any other possibility?

-

(thoughtful) If the manhwa ends... she can continue living there?

-

Yes but... How could Soo-Bong continue to see her? The only way is for her to be like you.

-

Able to travel between worlds, after the end?

-

Let's see what happened first.

Kang Chul walks towards the bedroom.

-

... ?! ("he leaves... no one answers me!")

Yeon-Joo, a smile for Do-Yoon, then goes to the bedroom.

They are sitting around the desk. Kang Chul holds the computer mouse.

-

(mystery) No "END", no "TO BE CONTINUED". (drags the next image)

-

It's like a continuation of the same chapter...

-

Narration removes out-of-context elements, if it can.

-

What really happened?

Soo-Bong passes the stylus over the bullet holes on Ren-Bo's wings.
Lines appear, then... turn into real substance.

-

I... I draw directly... Right on the manhwa!

-

It's possible to draw the manhwa with a stylus, from inside.

-

Certainly... the manhwa allows it only for its true authors.

-

And in the space at hand.

-

(thoughtful) ... The tablet needs to be special... But the stylus anyone from the real world.

-

... ! (outdated, "I won't last morally with those two")

-

This looks like a room adjacent to Jin In-Jin's office.

-

How did he get there?...

-

Just an inconsistency, he arrives here before Jin In-Jin's helicopter.

-

Do readers really pay attention to this kind of mistake?

-

If my writing teacher ever reads this, she'll give me a hard time...

-

(amused, looks at Yeon-Joo, big smile) ... Not specifically, any other part of the manhwa would do.

-

Ah ah ah!

-

... ?! (dismayed, "how can it make them laugh?!")

¤ Soo-Bong moves a large electromagnet to the entrance of an alcove.
¤ Soo-Bong with canisters hanging on the back, sprays a gas in the room.
¤ Jin In-Jin inspects the alcove and sees the electromagnet.
¤ Soo-Bong clicks a remote control, we can't see where he is.
¤ Jin In-Jin gets a rain of pins and the insects fall to the floor.

¤ A tide of insects climb on Jin In-Jin's body.
¤ Soo-Bong carries Ren-Bo, we can't see where he is going.
¤ Jin In-Jin dies horribly eaten by the insects.

¤ A green butterfly flutters above where Jin In-Jin was.

-

(disgusted, hard to see) ... He created a really horrible scenario!

-

But particularly inspired and effective.

-

His relationship with Moon Mi-Ra had a bad influence on him.

-

(sighs, annoying) I just remember that he was depressed every other day. Not the kind of poisonous woman I would like to meet...

-

Is it magic?

-

It's fancy, but there's no magic. It's the kind of world where a mad scientist would invent a shrinking serum.

-

A wacky invention, but vaguely explainable.

-

(happy to understand) Yes, if there are bullets that can mummify someone, then why not a gas that cancels a mummification...

-

It would be fun to see Soo-Bong shrunk and riding a butterfly!

-

(looks at Yeon-Joo, amused) ... (winks)

-

Ah ah ah!!!

-

ah ah. (rarely laughs, but lets out a chuckle)

-

... !! ("this couple comes from hell")

On the computer, the clock reads one o'clock in the morning.

Peaceful, the time passing...

On the wall, the clock indicates two o'clock in the morning.

-

(looks at the clock, anxious) Why didn't he come back?

Do-Yoon looks at the tablet, stuck on the new picture "TO BE CONTINUED".

-

It's supposed to show the events in real time? There's nothing now.

-

... ??

-

Real time display is not systematic.

-

But the time of incursion never exceeds half an hour.

Yeon-Joo click on the "blank image" button... Nothing happens!

-

... ! (anguish)

click, click, click, She tries again, nothing.

-

Why is it still blocked?!

-

... (dismayed, "crazy stuff again and again...")

-

Already, why did the manhwa continued? I have several hypotheses but... (doesn't know which one)

-

... ?

-

An unknown phenomenon, the variables have changed.

-

I never understood your theory of variables. You can explain anything with that, and still be very vague...

-

Aaah... Hyung.

-

The manhwa didn't pick up in the ordinary way.

-

... an "ordinary" way... (sighs) Really.

-

Probably a consequence.

-

Is that certain?

-

With his variables, nothing is ever certain...

-

What is certain is that it's out of our hands. So I'm going to sleep. Lots of scenes to shoot tomorrow.

-

Mmh! I'm going to sleep too, I didn't sleep last night...

-

(!!!) ... Well... (looks at the tablet anxiously) ... I guess I'll keep an eye on that...

-

(smiling) Thank you Do-Yoon, you are an angel!

-

... (defeated...)

Yoon-Hee looks at herself in a pocket mirror, a princess utensil!

-

The princess looks exactly like me.

Yoon-Hee draws Princess Dong, not exactly like her.

~

I was inspired by myself, but not that much.

Wang Shin is watching outside at the entrance. He turns around...

-

Is this really the time to play the coquette, Princess Dong? (coming towards her)

-

(offended) Grrr... I wasn't admiring myself! I was checking out an important part of my story!

-

(mocking) Oooh, a story... Get ready to get out of here instead.

Yoon-Hee removes her hairpin, and loosens her hair.

-

Hey, not like that! A princess can't do that!

-

You think it's pretty when your hair is pulled back? (pulls her hair back)

-

It does give you a puffy face...

-

(outraged) Might as well say I look like an octopus!

-

(annoyed) aHu... Loose hair might get in the way of your archery.

-

(lowering her arms) But I don't know how to shoot a bow or fight with a sword!

-

(sighs annoyed) Pfff... Princess Dong, I seriously wonder why you want to fight the Queen of Darkness, without any martial skills.

-

(anxious, depressed) ......

-

(raises finger) Ah, something that might help me.

-

(delighted) ... ?

-

Stop calling me "Princess Dong" all the time!

-

... ?!! ("what's the connection?!")

-

Mh!

-

... How am I supposed to call you?

-

Yoon-Hee. That will make my life easier.

-

Princess Dong, you're really asking me for impossible things.

-

Instead, tell me how you know that the Queen of Darkness is Cha Yu-Sun.

-

!!! ... (thinking anxiously) ... I... I can't.

-

Are you asking me to trust your word?

-

(looks at him seriously) ..... Yes.

-

(scans her eyes to see if it's a lie) ..... (seems true)

-

(embarrassed) ... I know that... you had an intimate relationship... so...

-

I'll cut her head off! Ten times if I could.

-

!!

Wang Shin returns to the entrance of the cave.

:

Doesn't it bother him? ... Or... Wang Shin is a pragmatic hero.

:

Yes, he solves problems before giving in to his emotions.

Wang Shin sees a human shadow on the crest of a hill, about 100 meters away.

-

aHaa! We've wasted too much time here!

-

Is something wrong?

Wang Shin goes to shut off a torch, and leaves only a dimly lit one, away from the entrance.

-

They are around here. (returns to the entrance)

-

(!!!) We have to get out of this place?!

-

They'll catch up with us in the wild. Only I could escape, but you wouldn't be so lucky.

-

... (worried, more and more) ... So... Hiding here?!

-

They'll search this place, and we'd be trapped in a mousetrap.

-

Then... what should we do? (anguish, anguish)

-

I have no idea. (calm)

-

.... !! (fear!)

Wang Shin sees shadow killers, much closer, coming out of the forest.

-

They are here!!! If we leave this place, they will see us!

-

(terrified) .... !! (crying, panicking)

Wang Shin sees the killers around the cave, at least ten, maybe more.
He backs away from the entrance to avoid being seen.

-

They will come in, in the next few minutes.

-

Boo hoo. I'm just a greedy, apathetic cartoonist who doesn't know to do anything else. Boo hoo hoo...

-

(grabbing her shoulders) Princess, get a grip! Get ready for a hopeless fight.

-

!!! (in terror)

-

Let's get ready to die with dignity!!!

-

Boo hoo... no, no...

-

!!X!XXX!!!X!!! (epileptic fit)

Yoon-Hee's head tilts backwards, her eyes rolling back.
She convulses all over, shaking frantically, her body out of control.

-

(frightened) Princess!!!

-

!!X!XXX!!!X!!!

-

!!!!

Wang Shin panics, alternately looks at the cave entrance, Yoon-Hee, the entrance.
