"Where are you going?"

I immediately shot my head towards Jae-hyun's voice.

I was stunned to see Jung-woo, Yuta, Jae-hyun and Mark were in the living room. I was too focused on walking to the door that I didn't even notice that they were in the living room.

"I-I'm going out for a while," I said to them as I slowly walk to the door.

"With who?" Yuta asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"U-Um, alone. I'll be back before midnight." I replied as I put on my loafers.

"Are you okay?" Jung-woo asked me.

"Huh?" I replied and looked at them. "You're hiding something?" Jung-woo asked.

"Aniya. I'm fine. I need to buy something. I'll be back soon. Don't wait on me," I said before exiting the apartment. I took out my phone and contacted Manager Becca.

"Yes, girl?" Manager Becca answered the phone in less than 10 seconds.

"Eunnie, I'm going to that place." I said softly.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" she asked me.

"Aniya. You don't need to come with me. I'll be fine. I'll leave my live location with you, okay? Just in case something bad happens, you can find me." I told her.

"Hey, don't say something bad happens. You'll be fine. Just make sure, you take care of yourself." She reminded me. "Nae, eunnie. Thank you. I'll be hanging up now then," I said to her and she hummed an okay before I hang up the phone.

I get to the lobby and head towards the train station. I boarded the train and on the fourth stop, I get down and started walking towards an old store in the street.

As I entered the store, a few men were seated around a round table while playing a deck of cards.

"I'm here for the underground fight. Where is the entrance?" I asked them politely.

"I need your identification card," one of them stood up and approached me.

I quickly get my purse from my bag and gave him my ID card. A few other men stood up and looked at my ID card. The man lifted my cap a little bit and I gasped.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I said and took off my cap and mask. He looked at me and nodded. Of course, he couldn't recognize me when I'm wearing a cap and mask.

"Everything here confidential, do you know that?" the man asked me.

"Nae," I nodded and he gave me back my ID card.

"Open the door for her," the man instructed the man who was guarding a door.

The man then opened a single door and they allowed me to enter. I muttered a thank you and bowed before walking into the corridor and it leads into a basement where a lot of people are gathered.

"Hey, you!" I heard and turned my head.

The man at a table was calling me. He looks like a registrar.

"Have you registered?" the man asked.

"No." I replied.

"You need to register. Place a bet on the fighter you think will win tonight's game. Minimum bet is 100,000 KRW," he told me. I raised an eyebrow and nodded.

"I'll place a bet on Baro," I said to him and he immediately looked up at me.

"Baro?" he asked and I nodded.
