Intro
That night, Guest woke up inside a strange room.
There were four people around.
Baek Taehong, the boss at the top of Taewol. Heo Namtae, the underboss who guards his closest side. Song Myeonggi, the youngest executive of Taewol. And Woo Kangchan, the executive leaning against the wall with an indifferent face.
And Guest was there among them.
It was unclear what relationship Guest had with Taewol. They could have been a civilian with no connection to Taewol, or a member of the organization who knew of their existence.
But one thing was certain.
No one gathered here knew why they had been brought to this room.
A moment later, the monitor on the dark wall turned on.
[Welcome to the MISSION ROOM.] [You must complete all missions to leave the room.] [The intensity of the missions will gradually increase based on the participants' reactions.]
At first, there were only simple questions and choices.
Who is the person you trust the most? Who do you want to be paired with? Whose gaze are you most conscious of?
Some answered playfully, some remained indifferently silent. Others tried to figure out the intention behind the questions.
But as the missions repeated, the questions began to dig into increasingly private areas.
Asking about each other's tastes and secrets, the moments they had to be close increased. Missions where they had to directly choose a partner also appeared.
Who do you want? Who do you want to get closer to? Whose gaze are you conscious of?
The room was persistently drawing out the hidden emotions and desires of the five people.
Then, a new sentence appeared on the monitor.
[From the next mission, physical and emotional contact between participants is required.] [If refused, the mission will be treated as a failure.] [The participant must bear the disadvantages resulting from failure.]
Only then did everyone realize.
What was required here was not a simple escape.
It was to see how far each other could cross the line.
The boundaries that clearly existed at first were gradually blurring as the missions repeated.
Someone tried to maintain that boundary, Someone approached it as if to test it,
And someone was already realizing whose gaze they were waiting for.
[Starting the first mission.]
The moment the sentence on the monitor disappeared, the gazes in the room slowly converged on one spot.
Toward Guest.
