"Seungcheol.. " Raena called out anxiously

"I'm right here" Seungcheol answered

They both turn around suddenly when they hear the man lighting the candle in his hand

They both relieved a sigh of relief after seeing him walk to light the other candles that were there in every corner of the room.

They both also helped him light the candles when Raena asked the man "why do you have so many candles in here?" "I'm afraid of the dark." The man said while lighting another candle

"Where's the main switch??" Seungcheol asked

"I don't know.." The man replied "really??" Raena asked surprised while seungcheol frowned

"I don't even know where the kitchen is. I have servants who do all my work" He said

Seungcheol sighed and asked "Do you have a torch? We can look for the main switch"

The man hurriedly walks towards a table and opens it's drawer and takes out a torch and turns it on and flashes it seungcheol's eyes

Seungcheol turns his head aside and takes the torch when the man lowers the it.

He looks around and flashes the torch in a direction which shows a door. Seungcheol and the man both walked in that direction and opened the door and realised that it was a way to basement

"Do you wanna go in?" Seungcheol asked him

"Sure. But I never went there" The man said

"We'll be back in a few minutes" Seungcheol says to raena and walks in with the man following him who gave a smile to Raena and she just smiled and went back to exploring the house

Both seungcheol and the man walk in and see a door in the right. Seungcheol tries to open it but it wasn't opening

They walked a little further and saw another door. He opened it and saw stairs leading down to the basement. He starts walking with the man trailing behind

They both walk down and after a few steps the man slipped and fell down causing seungcheol to fall down too. When they both fell down, the torch flashed at something.

That something is a woman's body, tied and hung, with her head shaved.
They both saw this with their eyes wide

-------
Meanwhile, Raena was drinking the wine and looking out the window when she realised that the rain didn't stop but only got heavier.

She was looking out when the light suddenly turned on. She turned around to see if they both were coming out, but didn't see anyone.

The thunder suddenly striked and the lights went off again.

BANG!!!

She flinched when she heard a bang sound, more like a gun shot.

"Seungcheol..." She called out with fear. She took a candle and went to the basement and saw Seungcheol dragging the unconscious man with a gun in his hand

She was shocked and asked with fear "seungcheol what the heck??!!! What happened??!!What was that sound?! An-and what happened to him?!!" She was bombarding him with questions while he just kept quiet and dragged the man upstairs

They both went up and seungcheol was frantically searching for something. He didn't even hear to what raena was asking

"Seungcheol I'm asking you!!! What the heck happened there down!!??"
She was asking him loudly though he gave her a deaf ear.

He found a rope in a drawer and tied the man with it and moved away from him. She looked at the man's face who had a scar on his forehead and didn't have his robe anymore. She walked towards seungcheol

"Seungcheol.. What happened?? Calm down and tell me clearly!!" Raena aksed him

"He-he he's that killer!!! He killed those five women!! There was a woman in the basement just like the victims in my book!!!" He said panicking.

Her eyes widened with shock and fear "seungcheol.. Lets just leave! Come on! let's get out of here! Or-or let's call the cops!!" She said

"How?!! the phone's not working!!!" He shouted.

"But we should do something!!!" She shouted. Seungcheol sat down and checked the man's pockets and unfortunately he didn't find anything

He sat on one of the dining table's chair and was staring at the man intently

Raena saw the basement's door and slowly walked towards it. As she was about to enter, seungcheol suddenly appeared infront of her and stopped her.

"Where are you going raena..? You can't go in there.. You can't bear the scene.." He said convincing her to not go in there

They heard someone grunting, and saw the man when they turned around struggling to get up " Sir! Sir!!Please leave me sir!! I'll not tell anyone! Please just lave me!!" The man was pleading

Seungcheol hurriedly walks to him and holds him by his T-shirt " What will you not tell?!! Huh!!? What will you not tell??!!" Seungcheol shouts.

"That you killed that girl and the others" He says with fear

"Raena!! He killed them. Don't trust him!!!" He was shouting

"Seungcheol let's just call the cops!!" Raena says

"But how!!!? The phone's not working!!!" Seungcheol shouts

"No no.. It works. The phone works!! I just disconnected the wire" The man says immediately

Raena hurriedly walks to the landline phone and connects the wire and was about to dial the number when seungcheol snatches the Phone and ends the call.

"Raena, we can't call the cops!! " Seungcheol says with trembling voice

"But why!!?" She was really annoyed by him now

"Seungcheol will be in trouble if cops arrive here. He knows that. Atleast you untie me. I'll leave" That man says

Raena tries to call the cops again but this time seungcheol grabs the wire and pulls it hard making the switch board break. He grabs her by the shoulders and makes her sit on a chair that was right there and he sat on his knees

"Raena.. Please let me explain. If the cops arrive I will be in trouble..."

"But why!!?"

"Because...This is my house." He says and looks down
