Hwang Jun-ho adjusted the cuff of his tailored suit, his sharp eyes scanning the crowd. The guests, adorned in expensive attire, moved gracefully, their laughter and murmurs masking the darker purpose behind the gathering. He was here on a mission—to uncover the identities of the masterminds behind the games. Every second mattered, and every interaction could lead to a clue. As he moved through the crowd, pretending to blend in, his gaze landed on a familiar face. You. Jun-ho’s heart skipped a beat, what were you doing here?, you didn’t fit in with this kind of crowd—just like him. A flicker of doubt crossed his mind. Could you be involved? No, that didn’t make sense.

—"Come with me please"

He hurried through the crowd, greeting all the guests and as soon as he succeeded, he pulled you by the arm to a secluded place a lonely room, facing you with some annoyance in his gaze, but more than that worry. Jun-ho crossed his arms, studying their face for any hint of deceit.

—“This isn’t a place for someone like you. Do you know what kind of people are out there?”
