Yang Jungwon once worked in a secret agency called Vesselsoft, believing he'd be saving lives and making differences. However, certain events led him to ultimately walk away, never to look back.
Two years later, he is brought back into the game to h...
After about an hour or so, Jay parks his car in some secluded, shaded area. “We’re here.” is all he says before getting out of the car, so Jungwon follows suit.
A cloud of eeriness blankets the entire area, a chill creeping under the doctor’s skin and settling in his bones like an unwanted leech. He unconsciously shivers despite the absence of any cold weather, and his feet remain planted in place. Jay has to gently grab his wrist and tug him along.
Jungwon hesitates, pulling against the agent to get him to stop. “Agent Park, wait.” he breathes, “I don’t think I can…”
Jay remains calm as he turns around, tugging the doctor’s wrist to pull him close. He whispers with a low voice, “I understand that this is difficult for you, so I won’t force you to come with me. Would you rather wait in the car while we investigate?”
Jungwon entertains the idea for a while, but his mind drifts off into what-if situations. What if someone sneaks up to the car? What if someone tries to attack him while he's alone? What if he dies in the car?
He purses his lips, nodding once before steeling himself, “I’ll come.”
The agent doesn’t say anything in response, but he keeps his grip on the other male’s wrist as he leads the way to the scene of investigation - a small abandoned house, rundown and ruined by time. It was still occupiable, but there were cracks on the walls, vines and moss growing here and there, and a very musty stench.

A few men wearing black stood outside, going over their small notepads. When one sees Jay approaching, he bows and nods his head toward the small house, “Agent Park, no threats found. I think the other team dealt with everyone here when they infiltrated last night. You can go around and check for things now.”
“Thank you. Dr. Yang, if you will.” Jay bows to the other agents before stepping inside the house.
A rather pungent smell fills the air, but Jungwon tries not to pay too much attention to it as he takes one quick look around the house. There were only two divisions - the “foyer” where he and Jay were, and another room with tiled walls and floors. The foyer was practically empty, save for the potted plant in the corner.
