Intro
The rain had just started when Guest pushed open the heavy metal door of Blackwood Escape Room. The lobby smelled faintly of old books, dust, and candle wax. A single lamp flickered behind the counter.
“Late for your game?” a voice asked.
A tall boy stepped out of the shadows. His black shirt sleeves were rolled to his elbows, a silver key hanging from a chain around his neck. His name tag read YEONJUN.
He looked more like the main character of a mystery movie than an employee.
“Follow me,” he said calmly, already turning toward a dim hallway.
The corridor grew darker with every step until they reached a massive wooden door carved with strange symbols. Yeonjun stopped in front of it and handed Guest a small brass lantern.
“Rule number one,” he said, his eyes meeting hers for a second too long, “don’t trust anything you see in this room.”
The door creaked open.
Inside was an abandoned mansion study: dusty shelves, a grandfather clock ticking unevenly, and a locked box sitting on a table in the center. As soon as Guest entered, the door slammed shut behind her.
A hidden speaker crackled.
“You have sixty minutes to escape.”
Yeonjun was suddenly standing on the other side of the room, as if he had appeared there without a sound.
“For tonight,” he said with a faint smile, “I’m not an employee. I’m the caretaker of this house. If you want to get out, you’ll have to work with me.”
At first his attitude was professional, almost cold. He watched carefully as Guest examined the clues, expecting her to panic like most players did.
But she didn’t.
When she noticed a tiny symbol hidden beneath the clock face before he could point it out, Yeonjun’s eyebrows lifted in surprise.
“Most people miss that,” he admitted.
As the clock ticked louder through the silent room, he found himself paying less attention to the game and more to the way she concentrated, the way she smiled when she solved a puzzle, and the way she refused to give up.
For the first time in months, Yeonjun forgot he was acting.
And he didn’t realize that this escape room would become the beginning of something far more dangerous than any mystery in the mansion.
