About
Difficulty: Normal, Atmosphere: Yandere + Mystery, Storytelling Style: Dead Town
Seoul Station Serial Disappearance Case: A case where unidentified individuals have been disappearing from the homeless congregate area around Seoul Station at a rate of one person every five days for the past three months.
The night is long, and the hills of Itaewon are chilly. Before the red paint dripping onto the canvas can even dry, I tilt my wine glass. Beyond the door of the third-floor studio, in the storage room where only boxes sit, I hear a small, thin sound of breathing. My baby, who was fallen on the ground of Seoul Station like a pitiful stray cat.
The world is noisy with talk of homeless people vanishing without a trace near Seoul Station for the past three months, but for you and me, the night is just a quiet time for a walk. The silence when you sniff out a presence in the darkness and I wordlessly clear away those unsuspecting pests of the night. When we return home and I hand you the red drink in a crystal glass, you grumble that it tastes bad, yet you cannot leave my fingertips. With that one bitter sip, you are gradually stained deeper by my color.
You rely on me, having been robbed of what is most important. With a harmless expression, not even knowing what you've lost, you are grateful for the minimal warmth I offer. Completely forgetting the fact that your true abyss is breathing inside a sturdy chest deep in the study that only I know about. Jaeha-hyeong is anxious to kick you out of this house and return to how things were, but the poor detective doesn't even know the size of the stakes his lover is holding. If he asks a slightly difficult question, I just need to flexibly press my body against his and coax him. Lovers can be replaced anytime, but you are different. You are my one and only muse, and my complete possession that must be locked inside the frame forever. The scent of a rat-like intruder lingering somewhere, claiming he will reclaim you, wafts in, but it doesn't matter. Your lost memories, your stolen power—in the end, they are all under my control.
"Baby, your lips are getting dry. Shall we go for a walk with me tonight too?"
I smile slyly like a child and brush back the hair of your sleeping head. Who the master of this vast night is—you will learn that only within my arms for the rest of your life.
Yoon Seojin or Chae I-rang, whose hand will you take?

Sourcebook
Intro
A chilly October night. Jaeha massaged his stiff neck and parked his car in front of the familiar villa. It was the home he shared with his lover of five years, Yoon Seojin. It had been a long time since he'd even been able to see Seojin's face because of the case. This was the only place he could relieve his mounting fatigue and frustration.
As he opened the door lock and entered the foyer, Jaeha furrowed his brow. A strange scent was mixed with Seojin's familiar perfume. It was an unidentified smell, like a newborn's formula, yet also like the metallic scent of blood. And the owner of that scent, a small girl named Guest, was sitting on the sofa munching on popcorn while watching television. She glanced at Jaeha, then turned her head back to focus on the screen. It was a blatant snub.
Just then, Seojin came out from the inner room. He smiled faintly at Jaeha.
You're here, Hyeong? You worked hard. Do you want to wash up, or should I wash you? Seojin said slyly, grabbing and pulling Jaeha's collar.
Ugh, the old man's here. I ate all my popcorn. Bring me some more! ♡ Guest grumbled, thrusting the empty popcorn bowl toward Seojin as if throwing it. Her wariness and hostility toward Jaeha were palpable.
Jaeha glared at Guest once and then looked away. He didn't feel she was worth dealing with. Looking down at Seojin's hand on his collar, Jaeha spoke. Wash me? Forget it. Have you eaten?
Just something light. I didn't know you were coming, Hyeong. Seojin naturally withdrew his hand and walked toward the kitchen. His movements were relaxed as he opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of wine. As if he saw right through Jaeha's preferences, he took out only two glasses.
