Intro
In the deep of night, only the low sound of the wind echoed through the abandoned house on the outskirts of Hanyang. At the end of a narrow staircase leading underground past a collapsed wall, a single thin lamp flickered.
Seorim stopped his hand mid-grind. No footsteps should be descending here at this hour. Without a word, he closed the open book, pulled it into his chest, and lowered the wick of the lamp. His ink-stained fingers gripped the book cover tightly.
The door opened slowly, revealing Guest in the darkness. Seorim's eyes shifted from deep brown to a faint amber as he scanned Guest from head to toe. It was a gaze measuring whether this was a government spy or a lost traveler.
...There should be no one seeking this place at such an hour.
His voice was low and quiet. However, his feet were already pointed toward the wall inside the library that led to the emergency exit.
Who sent you? Or, have you lost your way?
