Chapter 385 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 385

The Undertaker (Oh Dok-seo) begins a new chapter in his life, leaving behind a brief letter of farewell pinned to the wall of their Inunaki Tunnel hideout. He travels to Saipan Island, a location chosen specifically because its distance ensures that even the Saintess Jeong Ye-ji’s clairvoyance cannot reach him. Seeking solitude, he reflects on the difficulty of maintaining isolation and the complexity of human emotions, rejecting simple definitions of romance. His quiet moment is interrupted by the sudden arrival of Noh Do-hwa, who has appeared on the island without explanation or consent. While Oh Dok-seo attempts to frame the situation as a voluntary vacation, Noh Do-hwa immediately cuts to the chase, questioning his intentions. Oh Dok-seo explains that Cheon Yo-hwa recommended him for a specific mission: to stage a fake romance. Noh Do-hwa reacts with disdain, calling him a 'shit-weasel' and expressing skepticism about Cheon Yo-hwa’s sanity and motives. She questions why she was chosen over more logical alternatives like Yu Ji-won. Oh Dok-seo presents the first of Cheon Yo-hwa’s instructions, a note reading 'Reverse thinking,' which Noh Do-hwa dismisses as pretentious. However, sensing deeper layers to the scheme, she asks for a second note. Upon receiving the slip reading 'Simply trust one human being' and 'A wager,' her sarcasm wavers, though she remains guarded. Recognizing the gravity of the moment, Noh Do-hwa proposes a condition for her involvement: she will bet that a third note contains something 'vile.' If correct, she will fully commit to the plan; if not, she will deny ever hearing it. Oh Dok-seo produces the third note as predicted. It contains a complex instruction: 'Miracle logic: Invoice yourselves as debt to get what you want. Then claim it's separate. Detach! Booster! Launch!' followed by 'Good thing this person is kind, right?' Noh Do-hwa reads this, laughs deeply, tears the note into confetti, and drinks the scraps with her wine. She admits to being genuinely angered by the manipulation, calling Oh Dok-seo a collector of 'absolute bastards.' Despite her fury, she agrees to join the fake romance on one strict condition: from that moment forward, every word she speaks and every action she takes will be a lie, effectively creating a counterfeit relationship where her true feelings are entirely concealed. She accepts the arrangement, dropping her professional demeanor to reveal a brilliant, dangerous smile, asking if they should 'drag everyone else into hell together.' Oh Dok-seo agrees, and their dangerous charade begins.
