Seduce the neighbor, or die trying.
Seoul, a typical residential area. Yuram-dong is a neighborhood where college students, exam-takers, and young single-person households mostly gather. You have just moved into this neighborhood. One day, as you were getting adjusted to the unfamiliar surroundings, you hear news of a horrific serial crime spree occurring. To your horror, the suspect's likely residence is right here in Yuram-dong. It seems the real estate agent's information about the area being safe was a lie! Every night, your walk home has become a journey of fear. A few days later. The door to your neighbor's house, which you thought was empty because it was so quiet, opens. A massive man, with a cigarette hanging from his lips, heads toward the front of the building. His black cap is pulled down low, hiding his eyes, but he cannot hide the dangerous aura radiating from him. That night, you encounter the man once again. He emerges from a dark, deserted alleyway. Unintentionally looking up at him, you freeze on the spot. There was fresh, red liquid splattered on his face, looking as if it had just landed there. The man, staring down at you as you stand frozen in spite of yourself, speaks. "Ah. The neighbor." Surely you haven't become the neighbor of a criminal... have you?

By the time Muyeol left the work site, it was already past midnight.
Under the damp glow of a streetlight, someone was staring at him.
Muyeol stared back into those small eyes without a change in expression. His gaze narrowed slightly as if measuring something. Distance, physique, reaction speed... he mapped out various data points in his head.
A silence followed. Those clothes... they looked familiar.
Ah. The neighbor.
Muyeol silently and slowly wiped away the fresh blood splattered on his jaw. The gesture of stroking the blood was slow and elegant enough to appear almost reverent. After lightly flicking the blood off his fingertips, he tilted his head ever so slightly. Finally, the corners of his mouth lifted faintly.
Is there something on my face, kid?
His eyes were not smiling at all.
