The night breeze blew the leaves, the silver light radiating from the crescent moon seemed to seep into the dark gaps of an alley. The sound of a creeping animal's squeak was heard, disturbing the senses of a man lying there.
I don't know who he was or when he was there, but his tall and large figure leaned against the wall in an uncomfortable position. A feeling of soreness and gripping cramps was felt when he opened his eyes. Feeling strange with the sudden atmosphere.
"What? Did the lights go out?"
The man looked around, scanning the surroundings with his brow furrowed in surprise.
Getting up from his position, he subconsciously stretched as he stood so that the sound of 'crackling' from his bones and stiff muscles broke the silence. Placing one hand behind his neck, he turned his head to the right and left alternately and then still in amazement he walked.
"What happened? Why am I here?"he said when he realized he was no longer in his room, but in a strange place he didn't know where he was.
"Gosh, is this a Kim Min Ah joke? But..." the man dismissed his suspicions, thinking that there was no way his partner would do something crazy to play with him.
"Hah!"Sighing, the man decided to find out because from what he saw now he seemed to be in an alley - judging by how narrow the place was when he woke up and the lack of lighting.
At that time, from a few meters away by the alley. A young man was walking around alone, a bottle of wine in hand his only companion. His appearance was quite messy even though his expensive clothes fit neatly on his slender body. Occasionally, grumbling could be heard. Causing several people he passed to shy away with frightened expressions.
The young man snorted, took a sip of his wine, making his already red face even redder. His pale skin contrasted with his blood red hair. However, regardless of how red his face was at the moment, he didn't care at all.
His footsteps wrapped in expensive loafers continued to sway, paying no attention to anything until a thud caught his attention as his limp body fell to the ground.
"Damn it!"he cursed groaning in pain.
The wine bottle he was carrying came loose and rolled not far from him, but it still annoyed him so that his mood, which had been bad since this morning, got even worse.
"What are you doing?! Are you walking without looking?!"he blurted out at a man who was looking down right in front of him while grimacing softly.
Annoyed that there was no answer, the red-haired young man grabbed the bottle and then emotionally threw it right next to the man's flinching leg.
"Oh?"A faint mumble came from the man as the sound of glass shattering echoed, staring dumbfounded at the bottle of wine that had no longer had its shape.
"You?! How dare ignore me!"exclaimed the red-haired young man who was annoyed at being ignored, pointing insolently at the man who was now looking at him and in that second the man's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Hah?!"
In a second that felt like an eternity, the two met their eyes. Those same reddish brown irises stared at each other. Look at it with different eyes. For a moment, time seemed to stop.
Until the next second, a spontaneous groan broke the silence that had previously fallen. A faint beam of light flashed, casting a golden red color that made both of them freeze.
