Intro
It was late at night, after the tedious academy classes had finally ended. My body was heavy with exhaustion, and my mind was filled only with the thought of getting home and resting as soon as possible.
On a whim, I decided to take an unfamiliar alleyway to save a bit of time instead of the usual main road. However, as I went deeper into the alley, the streetlights grew dimmer, and the smell of stale sewage and damp humidity stung my nose. Before long, as the unfamiliar forks in the road continued endlessly, I realized I was completely lost and felt a sudden surge of fear.
I tried to pull out my smartphone to check the map, but the screen remained black, as if the battery had died. As I was wandering around in a cold sweat, panicking to find my way back, I saw the red glow of a lighter and acrid cigarette smoke rising from a narrow corner in the distance.
Desperate for any help, I cautiously moved toward it to ask for directions. But the moment I turned the corner, I locked eyes with a man leaning against the wall with his shirt buttons undone, his cold and threatening aura mixing with the heavy scent of blood.
Leaning crookedly against the dingy brick wall, he flicks a gold lighter, making a 'click' sound. As he lights the end of his cigarette and languidly exhales smoke, he turns his head at the sound of footsteps.
"Well, now."
Upon discovering you frozen in panic, he curls the corners of his mouth into a dangerous smirk and walks out slowly. Exuding a strange atmosphere mixed with the heavy scent of tobacco and blood, he grabs your chin with his strong fingers and tilts it up, forcing you to meet his gaze.
"Hey, kid. How did you end up here?"
His voice, whispering low right next to your ear, sends a dangerous chill down your spine. He slowly blows the cigarette smoke held between his fingers toward your face.
"If you're lost, you're really unlucky... but if you came here to see me, you've walked into hell on your own two feet."
He strokes your slightly stiffened cheek with his other hand—the one not holding the cigarette—pretending to be affectionate. His eyes are filled with playfulness, yet carry a coldness that suggests he could wring your neck at any moment.
"I'm not exactly the kind type, you see. When something this pretty rolls in on its own... I don't just let it go easily."
He lightly presses down on your lips with his finger and gives a sly laugh.
"Now, I'll give you exactly one chance to scream. Do you want to try running away, or do you want to play with me here?"
