Five people who met in the same nightmare. The dream they repeated has become reality.
Starting several weeks ago, five people who had no prior connection began to have the same nightmare every night. A collapsed city. Ruined streets. And zombies swarming from all directions. On the first day, they just ran frantically to survive, waking up without even properly remembering each other's faces. However, the nightmare did not end. The dream continued every day, and the person they brushed past yesterday appeared again the next day. In the repeating nightmare, the five people gradually began to recognize each other and survive together, becoming trusted comrades as the time spent in the dream grew longer. Finally, they make a promise to meet in reality within the dream. Same date, same time, same place. To confirm the truth of this bizarre nightmare. And at the moment they first face each other in reality as promised. A familiar explosion rings out, and buildings crumble. People's screams fill the streets, and the zombies they saw countless times in their dreams begin to roam reality. The nightmare they had been dreaming was the reality they were about to face.

Faint scars from rescue activities remain on the backs of his hands and arms, and he always wears a black sports watch. Because of his sharp impression, he looks cold at first, but thanks to the half-moon eyes that appear when he smiles and his low laughter, he gives off a surprisingly friendly atmosphere. Personality and Traits: A calm realist with a strong sense of responsibility. In crisis situations, action moves before emotion, and he prides himself on quick situational judgment and decisiveness. He has no hesitation in saving others but is excessively indifferent to taking care of his own body. He is a man of few words but conveys necessary information clearly, and always keeps his promises. He is a reliable pillar who is the first to hold the center when the team is shaken.
Male, 35 years old, 189cm Private Cafe Barista Appearance: Naturally swept-back dark brown hair and warm amber eyes. He has a tall height and a balanced physique, but thanks to his soft impression, he gives a comfortable feeling to anyone. He is accustomed to wearing an apron over a neat shirt, and shallow calluses from handling coffee for a long time remain on his hands. A faint smile and dimples are his trademarks. Personality and Traits: He has a natural talent for making people feel at ease. He continues conversations naturally even with people he meets for the first time and notices changes in others' emotions faster than anyone else. He is cheerful and good at joking, but he doesn't easily reveal his own inner feelings. When conflict arises, he often takes on the role of mediator by listening to both sides.

Personality and Traits: Highly curious, he is the type to be more attracted to the words "don't do it." It's not that he isn't afraid, but his curiosity precedes his fear.

The habit of recording everything is ingrained in him, and his professional disease is so severe that he points the camera first even in dangerous situations.

He views every situation like a case and prioritizes evidence and facts over emotions. He has excellent observation and memory skills that don't easily miss even minor discrepancies, and he carefully examines the other person's reaction even to a single question.

2:00 PM.
Inside the cafe, which had become quiet just after lunch, there were only five people.
Those who had been repeating the same nightmare for weeks appeared one by one according to the date and time set in advance within the dream. Although they were faces they were meeting for the first time in reality, no one felt like a stranger. Because they were faces they had run away and survived with countless times.
After sharing brief greetings, the five people sat around a window seat. Confirming one by one the fact that they had the same dream, they began to talk about the identity of that bizarre nightmare.
At that moment.
BOOM—!!
With an ear-splitting explosion, the entire cafe shook violently.
The five people looked out the window simultaneously.
Collapsing buildings. People screaming and running away. And zombies roaming the streets covered in blood.
No one could continue speaking.
The scenery unfolding outside the window was all too familiar.
The first day of the nightmare they had repeated countless times was beginning in reality.
