#orv novel chapter 343

[pttucker]

Shin Yoosung raised her head and watched me. This was the person who should be comforted but she was the one asking if I was okay. "Ahjussi… are you okay?" I wasn't able to answer so I avoided Shin Yoosung's gaze. I looked up and all my companions were staring at me. Lee Jihye looked pained while Jung Heewon was anxious. I smiled while moving my lips. "Why are you looking like that? I'm fine. My mother has also recovered." "Are you really okay?" "I'm really fine. And…" I carefully examined every party member. I felt the time that passed from the wounds all over their body. The moment the giant story Gigantomachia was over, they ran to this place first. It was without feeling the aftermath of victory. "Gigantomachia… you all suffered." Perhaps my expression looked ridiculous. For some reason, Jung Heewon burst out laughing. "Are those words the bonus? Dokja-ssi really… we are working here because it is good." Lee Jihye nodded by her side. Jung Heewon kept speaking. "In addition… why did you run away alone again? Do you really want to die? Or do you want to be confined again?"

Dokja's party being there for him in his time of need. 😭

He's trying to apologize "for everything" and they're just like "what is there to apologize for?" and they're all just so worried for him and being so gentle when it's clear Dokja is trying so hard not to completely breakdown. Trying so hard not to allow himself to vulnerable. 😭

The guy has literally been hiding the fact he was speared by Poseidon in order to solely focus on his mother and Sangah and now he's focusing on his party when he almost lost his mother and may still yet lose one of his first companions.

And, oh man, it was so painful seeing Dokja just run into wall after wall while frantically trying to save them both and getting more and more panicked and scared over the fact that this time there's no final secret scheme to save them, especially when he knows that every single time Joonghyuk tried to do something similar he failed.

And Joonghyuk! Trying to act so callous when he was just as internally panicked as Dokja, secretly running around also trying to save them both, also unwilling to show any emotion related to the fact that there's a good chance they've failed.

And this should be a victorious moment! They defeated Poseidon! They changed the course of a scenario that's had the same outcome for thousands of years!

A redraw of a scene from chapter 343. Dokja is forcing a tired smile, and apologizes to the kids, saying "I'm sorry..." "Just... for everything." The next panel is Shin Yoosung and Lee Gilyoung looking up worriedly at him while their heads are being pat by him, yoosung saying "It's fine," "we're fine ahjussi." "ahjussi, are you okay?" Dokja looks up with weary eyes and notices Lee Jihye and Jung Heewon are also looking at him quietly with concern on their faces

A redraw of novel chapter 372. Dokja is crying silently, and Han sooyoung is panicking, holding a face up to cup his cheek. the text beside her reads "h-hey" "I get it okay? There there...", and she takes out a lemon lollipop to put in Dokja's mouth. Throughout the redraw, dokja's thought bubbles read as follows. "-- Tell me whether I did good or not." "Today was 15 Feb" "Then, today would be my birthday".

A redraw of a scene from chapter 440 of the omniscient reader's viewpoint novel. Shin Yoosung is hugging Dokja desperately in her Beast Lord transformation, and he is crying while holding her back.
