♠♥♣♦

Yeosang kept on walking until he found himself in the yard of their manor, a lot have changed ever since he left the manor but he can see someone tied up in a crucifix-like wood from afar. He can also see the blackened ones wandering around as he kept on walking silently, weaponless so he kept his footsteps as silent as he can.

He needs something to protect himself, he shouldn’t just run and save that person or else, everyone’s sacrifice will be gone to waste once that the blackened ones got their hands on him— the unfortunate victim of this curse.

“I should head back..” he muttered before proceeding inside the dimmed hall.

He can hear some growling so he kept on walking on the corner of the room, shutting his mouth as he silence himself while walking carefully. He couldn’t see anything so he used his sense of touch and proceeds by touching the cement and avoiding the furniture in order to prevent making any kind of noise that would make the blackened ones find him.

He found the stairs and held to the edge as he kept on walking, he can still hear a bit of growling around so he continued on staying silent. He didn’t even know if he’ll be able to make it to a safer place safe or if he’ll be caught by those hideous creatures.

Yeosang wondered if his friends are looking for him right now. He also wondered who was the one tied up in the middle of their huge ass yard. He wondered if Wooyoung is safe along with the others, he wondered why can’t he use his own powers. He has a lot of thoughts running around his mind but he kept on being alert because his main priority is to be safe.

Fortunately, Yeosang arrived on the area of their mansion with the lights on. He kept on looking around at the corners and saw some blackened ones walking around so he waited for them to turn their backs so he can run on a different direction, he kept on doing it until he arrived on an area that is familiar to him.

“Storage room.” Yeosang mutters as he opened the door, cursing in his mind when it creaked and immediately went inside and locked it before any blackened one can find what the room that he entered, “Damn it.”

He can already hear the growling nearby as a bunch of doors were opened, making his heart beat faster in fear. He can’t help but let the fear crept throughout his system because this room doesn’t have any doors and despite hiding between the shelves, he can be seen easily. There’s no way that he would be able to escape from them knowing how many they are around the floor and he’s empty-handed, not even a knife or a gun with him. Aside from that, his entire body is filled with cuts and bruises from his escape on the glass-like cage.

He can’t help but be sorry for everyone that sacrificed their lives and put themselves into danger just to save him, tears already forming on his eyes. He just closed his eyes and sighed in defeat, waiting for the blackened ones to open the door and catch him so the curse would end.

“I’m so sorry, everyone.” he muttered in resignation.

“Don't be.”

Before Yeosang was able to speak and open his eyes, he felt a pair of arms hugged him from behind and he can feel that he was dragged somewhere as he heard something was closed with a thud. The moment that Yeosang opened his eyes, he realized that he’s in a closet as someone behind him wraps his left arm around the brunette’s waist while the right hand of the person behind him was covering Yeosang's mouth to prevent any kind of noises.
