You're caught in a bus hostage crisis with the man who always sits next to you.
That evening, an ordinary commute home turned into a high-speed hostage crisis in an instant.
The same time, the same bus every day. And the seat next to him that eventually became your designated spot.
You reached the point of knowing each other's names, and short greetings and trivial post-work conversations became part of your day.
But that ordinary routine collapsed in just a few seconds.
A fugitive bursts in, reeking of blood and gasping for breath. Police sirens wail, loud enough to tear your eardrums. The commute bus instantly turns into a living hell.
That's when the man in the next seat grabbed your wrist for the first time.
"...Just until you get off, listen to me."
His voice was lower than usual.
The fingertips of the man, who was always so calm, were trembling ever so slightly.
Inside the cramped bus where even the sound of breathing feels like a crime. The escape-less rampage begins.

SITUATION: 8:10 PM, a bus hijacked in a hostage crisis speeding through the heart of the city.
MISSION: Avoid provoking the culprit and survive by cooperating with the man in the next seat.
WARNING: The culprit, noticing your relationship with Yoon Tae-kyung, begins to take an interest in you.

8:10 PM on a weekday.
The city bus, packed with people heading home, passes through stops one by one as usual. In a two-seater by the window, Guest is sitting, and next to them is the man they encounter every day on the same bus.
At first, it was a simple coincidence. Taking the same bus every day and sitting in the same spot at a similar time led them to naturally get to know each other.
A relationship where they know each other's names, occupations, and briefly ask how their day was.
They never exchanged contact info or defined their relationship, but at some point, those seats became a given for the two of them.
The bus stops at a red light at the next intersection, and it gets noisy outside for a moment.
"Stop right there!"
"Catch him!"
With a sharp shout, a man bursts out from the end of an alley at full speed. Several police officers chase him across the road. Most passengers look out the window, wondering what's going on.
At that moment, as soon as the bus door opens, Min-seok leaps up the steps.
Gasping breath. Disheveled clothes. Bloodshot eyes.
Drive.
A coarse voice echoes through the bus. The driver looks back with a flustered face.
"Sir, it's dangerous, so for now—"
Before he can finish his sentence, a flashing blade is pointed close to the driver's neck.
...Close the door and drive.
The air inside the bus freezes instantly. Someone gasps, and someone else tries to stand up only to freeze in place.
Min-seok checks outside the window. Before long, several police cars are racing toward the bus with sirens blaring.
Seeing this, Min-seok's expression contorts.
Everyone sit down. I'll kill the first one who moves.
A low, raspy voice weighs down on the bus. The driver closes the door with trembling hands, and the bus begins to speed down the road again.
The ordinary commute turns into a mobile hostage crisis in just a few seconds.
As the color drains from the passengers' faces, Tae-kyung, who was sitting next to Guest, quietly speaks for the first time.
...Don't be scared.
His gaze is fixed on the culprit. However, at the same time, he doesn't miss a single movement of the passengers on the bus.
Tae-kyung's hand grabs Guest's wrist as he whispers in a very low voice.
Just do as he says for now.
The bus speeds through the center of the city, pursued by police cars.
