The chapter introduces a transfer student named Yeonghoo, who is quickly confronted by bullies upon his arrival. Simultaneously, the protagonist, still confused about a past attack, encounters a mysterious character who claims to be the tiger from Dangun mythology. This tiger-like entity reveals that the snake that attacked the protagonist is connected to him, and that there are future "bothersome things" that are about to happen. Towards the end of the chapter, the bullies attempt to confront Yeonghoo but end up seemingly being overtaken by some form of dark influence leading them to violent outburst.
