House | Stray Kids

They say a house is just wood and stone,
But this one has teeth.

In this house, dreams are broken, hope is slaughtered, and memories are burned. Years go by, the faces change, but the story is always the same. The house waits, silent as the next victim knocks at the door. Then, it takes what it wants; a breath, a heartbeat, a life.

It's taken from the careless, the lonely, the ill, and the desperate.
Now, at last, someone has come to take from the house.
