Youngjae woke up in a basement with a bit loose heavy chains wrapped around his ankle and both of wrists. His head hurt a lot. He groaned with pain when he turned on his back. Where the hell is he? He looked around and saw nothing but the darkness all around. He's lost. No one knows about him being trapped here. He sighed, trying to trying to stop tears streaming down his face and then, he tried to crawl across the cell until his wrists chains hit the bars. The cell is mall yet his chain is a lot longer that it should be. 

He felt dizzy. His lips were cracked from the thirst. The taste of iron was poured into his mouth made him feel anxious and sick. He felt hopeless, angry, sad and lost. Completely lost.

❞You're finally awake, little prince.❞ the person said, with a chuckle and stepped out of the shadow while holding a kerosene lamp.

❞You son of a bitch!❞ Youngjae shouted and kicked angrily the bars. 

❞Ah, how brave are you. So precious young man, aren't you?❞ the person laughed, unlocked the bars and stepped inside to him.

❞What is the matter with you? What do you want? What do you want from me?!❞ Youngjae asked him and the anger literally boiled inside him.

❞Youngjae, watch out!❞ he heard a voice shouting at me and before he could look what's happening, he kicked him tightly into my stomach. And again, and again. Until he passed out from the pain.

****

❞Now!❞ Jinyi shouted as the spoon along with fork prepared to throw a dozen eggs on the men. It has surprised them because they didn't know where they should look first. After it, every single piece of a furniture and other cursed items began to fight. Everything was flying through the air and when I saw everything, I mean it. From old buckets filled with water and other trash to eggs, tomatoes, old collection of knives or even old silver bowls. 

Prince Jaebum was looking for a sword, yet he knew he won't probably use it since his muscles and voice are way stronger that that. When two men ran upstairs, two clocks dragged the carpet and those men fell down the stairs. The shouting, screaming in pain, sound of shooting and fighting with swords filled the castle. 

❞Now or never, Jaebum.❞  

he said for himself before he grabbed the sword and ran downstairs to help others.

****

❞Y-youngjae? ❞ the voice of a scared girl sounded and woke Youngjae out of faintness.

❞Misook! Hey, are you okay?❞ he whispered, half-happy that he finally heard her voice and half irritated due to the pain penetrates his whole body. He opened his eyes and saw a sillouette of her sitting on the ground with back pressed against the cold dirty wall. His dress were ripped and covered with blood and dirt from the ground, yet somehow her eyes managed to shine as always. 

❞You're bleeding.❞ muttered utterly quietly and he noticed a stain of blood at his ankles.

❞It's okay. I need to- I have to- Jaebum-ah!❞ he hissed in pain as he tried to get up, but he only managed to grab the bars and his legs betrayed him. The chains. He compeletely forgot about it. 

❞I'm gonna send you something. Hide it quickly, he's coming back!❞ she hissed at him and sent him something small. Youngjae didn't have a time to think about what it is, but he placed it into his pocket of trousers and he lay down to the cold ground, turned to left side and pretended to be unconscious. 

The man stepped inside again, holding a trait with some food and water for both of them. Misook hid even more to the shadow because she was scared. Really scared. That man was a psychopath. She thought she could trust him yet he betrayed her. He betrayed everyone. Her own blood. Her own family.

❞How could you do that?❞ she asked him when he opened her cell and placed the food down. 

❞I've always been nice to everyone, tried to hide behind the mask of a perfect man who always helps others. But that's enough. When Youngjae was willing to do anything for his beloved grandma and then went to the castle like a lost puppy, I got an idea. I used him. I made my plan come true. I won, Misook. Don't you get it? I won and no matter how many people will die tonight, I will get my reward from the warlock himself. Immortality, my love. Immortalily and power to do whatever I can, that's what I get from him. I have to kill him first, the rest will do the group of idiots. Youngjae's heart, that's what I need. His heart and I will become powerful.❞ he explained to her with a smirk on his lips. 

❞This is crazy. YOU are crazy, Yeonwoo. He trusted you to help him and you basically sent him to death.❞ she shouted at him and he slapped her hard.

❞Shut up, you little ungrateful bitch. Now, when he's still unconscious, I can do my work.❞ he laughed for himself and turned his back to her. He shouldn't do that.

Misook's fast hands grabbed his knife of his pocket and she stabbed him in the back, he shouted in pain and they fought over the knife when Youngjae grabbed the opportunity, tried to unlock the handcuffs around his ankles and hands and also unlocked the cell but he wasn't fast enough. Misook's shouting almost killed him. She fell on the ground and he stood over her with a knife in his hands and laughing, watching her bleeding out from her stomach. Youngjae hasn't got a time for thinking. He knocked his knife out of his hand, grabbed another one from the pocket and stabbed him many times in the stomach until he fell to the ground dead.

❞Misook! Misook, no no no! Don't die, okay? Stay with me, please.❞ he pulled her out of the cell and laid his hands on her wound on her stomach. 

❞It's okay, Youngjae.❞ she smiled and placed her hand on his cheek, ❞you're free now, that all the matters to me.❞

❞Why have you done that, Misook? Why have you done that?❞ he sobbed and pushed hard on her wound to stop the bleeding.

❞Because I love you, Youngjae. I've alw-.❞ she coughed and her hand fell down. 

.....

❞Misook. Please, wake up. WAKE UP!❞ 

He was roughly shaking with her, but he couldn't change the destiny. 

She's dead.
