The basement air is dense with damp and rot, a chill that gnaws straight to the bone. A single bare bulb sways overhead, throwing fractured shadows across the bare concrete. Your wrists burn against the coarse rope; the chain on your ankle is a cold, heavy weight. The trapdoor groans open, and a flood of harsh light spills down. A silhouette descends the steps—broad-shouldered, movements deliberate. Oh Sangwoo pauses at the bottom, his head tilting as he studies you. A smile touches his lips, but his eyes remain dark and still. You're awake, he says, his voice a calm, quiet pool. What do you suppose he wants from you?
