Prologue

Woo Hee-un huddled behind a wooden crate. His thin body was completely concealed in the shadow cast by several stacked crates above.

Thump-

“Aaaargh-!” 

He squeezed his eyes shut. The dull sound of something being struck down, followed by a scream of being torn apart, repeated itself for the fourth or fifth time. His body, curled up hugging his knees, trembled violently.

“Uhh…uh… Pl…please spare me…”

“Have you become willing to talk now?” A low voice spoke.

“Yes. I’ll…I’ll tell everything. Sp…spare me, please…”

“Shh. Only what’s necessary.” 

A soft voice that didn’t match the situation.  

Hee-un knew the owner of that voice.

The man torturing someone so terribly was the very person he had been stalking.
