Chapter 2


Han So Hee sat slumped, shaking against the wall of the room she just entered, staring at the door.

She was sitting still with fear for an hour or so now.

"Get a hold of yourself, you stupid" she shouted at herself.

She turned around to check the room, staring blankly at the array of equipment scattered around the room.

It was one of the sports room that the hotel had for the athletes travelling from abroad.

"How did I end up here?" she wondered.

This feels like something straight out of a drama...

She had looked around at the weapons—guns, arrows, training gear—and the reality of her situation had hit her like a ton of bricks.

"What is this place?"

she thought, her mind struggling to process her new reality.

"A sports room? Who puts guns and arrows in a sports room?"

"This feels just like one of those zombie dramas I used to watch... except this is real. Too real."
