The duo consisted of one blind man and one, who doesn't have a knack for fighting- or any survival instincts in general, they both managed to escape the estate. As the breeze brushed against Seungmin's skin, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he was a step away towards the freedom he yearned for. After moments of walking, his ears picked up the sound of leaves crunching from afar. Footsteps. He stopped in his tracks and waited for the sound to come closer to pinpoint the direction of the source.

Locating the source, he turned towards that direction. "Who's there?" The footsteps kept approaching closer and closer, having no intention of answering the question. "I said who's there?"

"A bear in a tutu." The figure sarcastically responded. "Who the fuck asks such a useless question in the middle of nowhere? Here's some advice, next time you hear something strange, run or kill 'em."

Before Seungmin could make a comeback, Ethan joined in the conversation. "Finally! What took you so long?! You're supposed to be here ten minutes ago."

"What a fucking brat." The figure spat. "This is what I get for being nice."

"You-"

The figure pointed the tip of his blade directly at Ethan's throat. "One more word and I'll make sure you never speak again."

"Okay, cool, we established that you aren't a bad guy and all- who are you?" Seungmin didn't back down.

The figure frowned. "Did they hit your head or something?" He inspected the male in front of him. "I don't see any external injuries." He looked at Ethan for answers.

"He's temporarily blind. Or that's what I'm hoping it is. I think it's from the chip they installed in his neck."

"I see. Well in that case," The unknown man took a step closer. "I'm Peter, I believe we met briefly at the party yesterday evening."

Seungmin clenched his fist and swung his arm. Not expecting the swing, Peter barely managed to evade the punch. "Fuck off! You're the reason why I'm stuck in this situation in the first place! If you hadn't intervened, I wouldn't be a walking ticking time bomb!"

"I thought you said he was blind." Peter stared at Seungmin in amazement. "Never mind that- I had an assignment to complete and you somehow got tangled up in it. Don't take it to heart." He patted Seungmin on the arm. "I'll get your vision restored in no time."

"That's the least of my concerns right now. I have a fucking bomb implanted in me and could blow up any second!"

"Uh-huh." Was all Peter said as he turned on his heels and walked in the opposite direction from where they were standing. "Follow me."

"Did you forget that I can't see?"

"So needy." Peter huffed in annoyance as he grabbed Seungmin's wrist. "Is that better mi amor?"

Seungmin quickly yanked his captured wrist and pulled Peter towards him and then kneed the guy in the gut. "Stop playing around and lead the damn way."

"Anything for you." Peter winked even though Seungmin couldn't see it and dragged the male away.

Meanwhile, Ethan stood there dumbfounded at the two before he started following them. The walk felt like an eternity when they finally reached their destination. A small cabin stood its place in the middle of nowhere. Peter told the two look-alikes that they'll be staying here for the time being and it's only a fifteen minute walk to a town nearby. He proceeded to show the two their respective rooms before telling Seungmin to come with him so he can remove the chip in his neck.
