“Director, please come in.”
Suppressing his rough breaths, Lee Doha stepped into the darkened prop room.
As he gently guided the slightly smaller camera director inside, Lee Doha scanned the room before hiding among the boxes gathered in the back.
“Shh. You have to be quiet.”
His eyes, filled with tension, and his sensitively attuned senses reflected the current situation.
Doha checked the time on the watch strapped to his wrist.
There were 5 minutes left until the game ended.
‘If I can just hold out for 5 minutes….’
Creeeak—
Just then, the door to the prop room opened with a sound reminiscent of a horror movie’s effects.
Quickly, Doha covered the light from his wristwatch with his hand and strained to listen carefully.
He heard the sound of footsteps slowly approaching.
“Come here, little butterfly, flutter over here~♪”
A needlessly sweet singing voice broke the silence of the prop room.
Thud, thud.
The slow and leisurely footsteps were drawing closer to Doha.
‘Should I stay hidden? Or maybe I should escape as soon as the timing is right? Or perhaps….’
Thousands of simulations rapidly ran through Doha’s mind.
Meanwhile, the person who had entered the prop room seemed to be slowly searching through it.
“Where are you hopping off to, little bunny~♪”
At the strange discomfort he felt from the song being oddly mixed,—
The box that had been hiding Doha was suddenly removed, and the bright light from the prop room flooded over him.
Momentarily blinded, Doha closed his eyes, then quickly reopened them. As his vision adjusted to the light, the first thing he saw was…
“So, our Destroyer was here~?”
“…….”
…His friend of the same age, Kang Hajin, was smiling, looking almost like a grim reaper.
Finding himself in the scariest scenario he had anticipated, Lee Doha swallowed hard.

Exactly one hour before this terrifying game of hide-and-seek with his peer began.
The final mission of <Three-Way Battle>, the strategic flag-pulling challenge, was progressing with considerable excitement.
“Haru, Haru! Drive them this way! Push them over here!”
“Doha hyung! Sanchez-nim is heading your way!”
Although their team had lost several fixed-panel members during the previous tag phase, leaving only three members remaining, the Kairos team was demonstrating incredible efficiency and teamwork.
“Hajin hyung, now!”
“Hey, Lee Doha! Grab him, grab him!”
“Got him, Hajin, you have to pull the flag.”
“Aaagh! Guys! I’m your senior, aaagh!”
“I’ll apologize through a challenge!”
While Lee Doha and Dan Haru subdued one member of the Winter Tale team, Hajin easily pulled out the flag. This marked the third elimination in just five minutes since the tag phase began.
