Night was coming. The mafia could find you at any moment.

You had lost sight of bothof your friends, Jun Hee and Jung Won—you didn’t even know if they were alive—and the panic in your chest kept rising with every step. You needed somewhere to hide. Anywhere.

That’s when you spotted it: the cafeteria. Not exactly safe—but it was something.

It was where Go Kyung-Jun and his two thug friends usually stayed. Dangerous, sure… but better than being out here alone.

Swallowing your fear, you rushed up to the door and knocked with urgency.

A few seconds passed. Then the door creaked open just enough for one eye to peek through.

Kyung-Jun.

The moment he recognized you, his expression shifted to annoyance. He rolled his eyes, pushing the door open just a little wider.

“What do you want, little girl?”

His voice dripped with mockery.
