            "Jadi, bagaimana bisa Selir Lim berada di sini. Bukankah seharusnya Selir Lim ada di kamar Yang Mulia Raja?" Zhao Mimi tampak bertanya.
            Pagi ini memang, semuanya tampak kehilangan separuh dari memori mereka. Bagaimana bisa mereka tiba-tiba berada di kamar semuanya. Padahal seingat mereka, mereka sedang dalam melakukan sesuatu.
            Terlebih Lim Ming Yu, dia ingat jelas jika semalam dia berada di depan kediaman Raja. Lalu, bagaimana bisa dia berada di sini. Lim Ming Yu benar-benar tidak tahu apa yang terjadi sekarang ini.
            "Panglima Jiang datang!"
            Lim Ming Yu dan Zhao Mimi menoleh, keduanya agaknya semakin bingung. Kenapa bisa sepagi ini Jiang Kang Hua ada di sini? Sebuah hal yang benar-benar sangat sanksi yang keduanya bingung setengah mati.
            "Maafkan hamba, Selir Lim. Hamba yakin jika Anda akan sangat bingung dengan apa yang terjadi sekarang," kata Jiang Kang Hua kemudian.
            "Bingung? Maksudnya?" tanya Lim Ming Yu yang tampak jauh lebih bingung dari tadi.
            Jiang Kang Hua agaknya tersenyum, dia sama sekali tak menyangka kalau apa yang dikatakannya akan menjadi ambigu seperti ini.
            "Maksud hamba, tiba-tiba Anda berada di kamar apakah itu tidak membuat Anda bingung, Selir Lim?" tanya Jiang Kang Hua lagi.
            Lim Ming Yu pun akhirnya paham dengan penjelasan itu, kemudian dia mengangguk juga.
            "Ya, tentu. Bukankah semalam aku ada di kediaman Yang Mulia Raja? Lantas bagaimana bisa aku tiba-tiba ada di sini? Di kediamanku sendiri. Bisakah kau menjelaskan ini kepadaku, Panglima Jiang?" tanya Lim Ming Yu kemudian.
            Jiang Kang Hua agaknya tersenyum, dia bahkan sudah merancang sebuah alasan yang sangat bagus untuk dia katakana kepada Lim Ming Yu.
            "Semalam hamba telah melakukan kesalahan besar, Selir Lim. Hamba mencoba kemampuan hamba untuk membuat seluruh penghuni bangsa iblis kehilangan kesadaran. Siapa sangka ternyata Selir Lim dan penduduk istana juga merasakannya. Setelah Yang Mulia tahu, Yang Mulia lantas membawa Anda ke kediaman Anda ini. Yang Mulia Raja tidur di samping Anda sambil terus memandang wajah cantik Anda. Jubah yang Mulia di sini adalah bukti jika Yang Mulia semalam bermalam di kediaman Anda, Selir Lim,"
            Lim Ming Yu tampak menoleh, dia melirik pada jubah berwarna merah yang tergeletak tepat di samping tempat tidurnya. Saat tahu jika itu adalah jubah dari suaminya, Lim Ming Yu agaknya mengulum senyum karena itu.
            "Apakah benar jika Yang Mulia Raja bermalam di kediamanku semalam?" tanya Lim Ming Yu penasaran.
            "Benar, Selir Lim."
            "Tapi, bukankah semalam Yang Mulia sedang sakit? Bagaimana bisa Yang Mulia ada di sini, Panglima Jiang?"
            Jiang Kang Hua agaknya kaget, dia tidak tahu kalau rajanya semalam itu sakit. Atau apakah, itu sebabnya Liu Anqier ada di kamarnya semalam? Jiang Kang Hua harus cepat memberikan jawaban semasuk akal mungkin,
            "Setelah Dayang Liu menyembuhkan Yang Mulia, lantas Yang Mulia mencari Anda. Untuk memberikan hadiah atas kemenangan yang telah Selir menangkan. Yang Mulia Raja langsung kesini, memberikan hadiah itu. Karena Yang Mulia melihat Selir Lim tertidur pulas sekali,"
            Wajah Lim Ming Yu tampak merona, dia menundukkan kepalanya dalam-dalam. Jujur, dia sangat malu sekarang. Malu karena ucapan dari Jiang Kang Hua kepadanya.
            "Apa benar itu, Panglima Jiang?" tanya Lim Ming Yu malu-malu.
            Membahas masalah itu, Jiang Kang Hua jadi malu sendiri. Dia agaknya menggaruk tengkuknya kemudian menundukkan wajahnya.
            "Untuk masalah itu, Selir Lim seharusnya tak tanya kepada hamba. Sebab hamba tidak tahu, itu adalah urusan pribadi Selir Lim dan Yang Mulia Raja,"
            Lim Ming Yu menganggukkan kepalanya, kemudian dia menundukkan wajahnya lagi. Jujur, dia sama sekali tidak menyangka akan membahas masalah sensitive seperti ini bersama dengan Jiang Kang Hua.
            "Baiklah, Selir Lim. Hamba pamit undur diri dulu," putus Jiang Kang Hua kemudian.
            Lim Ming Yu kini tampak menyentuh dadanya, kemudian dia melihat jika di jubah suaminya ada sesuatu yang kotor di sana. Lagi, Lim Ming Yu tampak tersenyum kemudian dia mengambil jubah suaminya dan dia peluk dengan sangat erat.

            "Beberapa hari ini persenjataan prajurit kita mengalami banyak kerusakan. Kita membutuhkan senjata-senjata baru agar bisa memfasilitasi prajurit kita, Yang Mulia!"
            Seorang Kasim tampak memberi tahu kan masalah ini kepada Chen Liao Xuan. Untuk kemudian, Chen Liao Xuan terdiam sejenak.
            "Para petani telah kehilangan hasil panen mereka, Yang Mulia. Sehingga mereka tidak mau memberikan upeti kepada kita. Upeti yang seharusnya akan mereka bayarkan setiap tahunnya," Kasim lainnya pun memberitahu.
            Ya, biar bagaimana pun, di bangsa mana pun. Sistemnya akan tetap sama. Mereka membutuhkan beberapa hal untuk bisa bertahan hidup seperti rantai makanan. Sama halnya seperti yang dialami oleh bangsa iblis sekarang, di sana ada para petani juga, dan yang lainnya. Sehingga sistemnya sama seperti apa yang terjadi di alam manusia. Meski mungkin, tumbuhan atau apa pun sedikit berbeda.
            "Jelaskan kepadaku kenapa mereka tidak mau memberikan upeti kepada kita, apakah hasil panen mereka gagal karena suatu hama?" tanya Chen Liao Xuan kemudian.
            "Karena mereka merasa jika upeti yang kita minta terlalu tinggi, dan mereka gagal panen untuk kurun waktu yang lama, Yang Mulia. Sementara itu banyak rakyat yang kelaparan. Mereka sangat mendambakan sari dari kejayaan Yang Mulia Raja untuk menyuburkan kembali sawah-sawah mereka serta menyempurnakan kembali fisik mereka, Yang Mulia,"
            "Kau pikir Yang Mulia Raja itu adalah seorang pendeta yang dermawan, Kasim Mang? Apa kau tahu kita ini siapa? Apakah ada iblis yang memiliki rasa peduli sepertimu ini? Terlebih sebentar lagi adalah purnama merah, itu adalah waktu di mana Yang Mulia akan memberikan seluruh hidupnya untuk bertapa di gua. Jadi, berhentilah membual. Lagi pula, kematian mereka bukanlah tanggung jawab Yang Mulia Raja. Kau terlalu mendramalisir semuanya, jadi semuanya menjadi rancu," kata Kasim Agung Cheng.
            Semua yang ada di sana agaknya bersitegang, membuat Li Zheng Xi pun ikut bingung karenanya. Sementara Chen Liao Xuan memilih untuk diam, memerhatiakan setiap apa yang terjadi di sana.
            "Kasim Agung Cheng, sebenarnya apa yang dikatakan oleh Kasim Manga da benarnya juga. Jika tidak ada mereka, lantas bagaimana bisa kita bisa mendapatkan banyak bahan makanan? Kita tidak bisa apa-apa, selain mencoba membantu sedikit dari mereka Kasim Agung Lim. Dengan memberi mereka syarat jika kita membantu mereka akan memberikan upeti kepada kita dengan cara yang pantas. Sebab bagaimanapun juga, mereka telah menggantungkan hidup mereka kepada kita,"
            "Dengan memberi mereka berkat dari Yang Mulia Raja?" tanya Kasim Agung Cheng. Li Zheng Xi pun mengangguk menjawabi hal itu.

Chen Liao Xuan, adalah putra kedua dari Raja langit Xie Jia Ming. Sebagai panglima perang andalan langit, dia bahkan dinobatkan menjadi putra mahkota untuk menggantikan ayahnya sebagai Raja langit berikutnya. Di sisi lain, Chen Liao Xuan diam-diam menjalin hubungan asmara dengan manusia setengah Dewi, keturunan dari Dewi yang bernama Liu Anqier.  Karena darah manusia yang mengalir pada tubuh Liu Anqier membuat para Dewa langit murka,dan menentang hubungan mereka. 
Hingga pada akhirnya, Chen Liao Xuan mendapatkan tugas dari sang Ayah untuk berperang melawan Raja Iblis yang telah menghancurkan hampir separuh umat manusia di bumi. Pada saat yang bersamaan, salah seorang dari langit berbuat hal yang tak terguda, dengan membunuh Liu Anqier.
Merasa murka, dan marah, Chen Liao Xuan lantas melakukan kesalahan fatal. Dengan membunuh penasihat kepercayaan ayahnya. Hingga akhirnya sang Ayah memberinya kuhuman di luar batas kekuasaannya. Melahirkan kembali Chen Liao Xuan, bukan menjadi putranya, melainkan menjadi seorang Raja Iblis yang paling menakutkan di dunia. Takdir itu sudah ditulis, tak terbantahkan. Membuat Chen Liao Xuan mendapat julukan Emo Shao Ye.
Tak cukup sampai di situ, cara penghapusan dosa yang diberikan ayahnya rupanya tidak benar-benar berguna. Sebab separuh dari ingatan Chen Liao Xuan atas kekasihnya tak sepenuhnya hilang. Membuat Chen Liao Xuan terobsesi, mencari reinkarnasi dari sang kekasih.
Hingga suatu hari, saat dia sedang bertarung dengan Dewa air, di malam perubahan wujudnya. Dia berhasil dikalahkan oleh panglima perang dari kerajaan tersebut. Membuatnya terjatuh dan terdampar di suatu hutan pinus yang sangat lebat. Saat dia telah merasa jika nyawanya akan segera hilang. Tiba-tiba sentuhan tangan mungil membuat seluruh ingatan Chen Liao Xuan akan masa lalunya bangkit seutuhnya. 
Akankah Chen Liao Xuan bisa bisa bertemu dengan perempuan yang selama ini dia tunggu? Ataukah dia akan benar-benar menderita kehilangan cinta seperti yang telah ditetapkan oleh Dewa takdir atasnya?

At the age of six, Yoo Haneul received his first journal. It was a cute notebook with red cover decorated with his favourite cartoon characters, only 40-pages thick. The child had been imitating his father engraving his life into his own diary using whatever paper available so the young journalist finally decided to gift his son his very own notebook for his birthday. Haneul could read and write better than his classmates so he got into the hobby quiet easily despite his age. That first year, he only wrote when reminded so 40 pages were more enough.
Not for long though…
At the age of eight, Yoo Haneul finally realized feelings are more than just happy, sad and angry. As he took journaling very seriously, he began to struggle to describe the complicated emotions he felt throughout the day. The young boy also enjoyed reading the newspaper to refine his writing in order to squeeze as much information as he could into a page. His young mother could help him at first but soon realized his only boy has a talent just like his father. And so, on his eighth birthday, Mrs. Yoo gave her son a dictionary and some novels to read. For some, it was too much to present to a boy at that age but she knew he had potential and enjoyed the hobby so she decided to support it.
At the age of nine, everything fell apart. Mr. Yoo was killed while helping a drowning child and the young family was left without support. The young, jobless mother couldn't afford to pay the house loan, and her skills could only afford her so much. And so, Haneul left for the ghetto a few months after the funeral.
At the age of nine, writing became his only solace.
At the age of eleven, the abuse started. The young and beautiful widower had been the talk of town and caught the eyes of the main alpha of the neighbourhood. Struggling to make ends meet and keep her child alive, Mrs. Yoo surrendered their lives to the hand of the thug leader. It didn't matter that they suffer, as long as they live. And so, for the young Yoo Haneul, his nightmare began. His pretty face much like his mother attracted the younger gangsters – most of them taunting him with words of lusts, but never a hand. Because they were afraid of the house's alpha.
Everything changed that summer.
Haneul presented as an omega, a year earlier than normal omegas. The old alpha grabbed the opportunity to make money from him, advertising his upcoming heat for any takers. And all this time, his mother stood watch, saying nothing in fear that the man would leave them if opposed. To avoid the authority, Haneul was forced to stopped schooling and instead, helped his mother out with her flower shop.
Things got better when Mrs. Lim, a teacher from the only omega school in town, stumbled across the young Haneul only to realize he was not attending her school. She took action and forced Haneul to attend or risk being taken by social service, and so the man had to stop his horrible act for a while, that was, until he figured out how to hide the evidence.
And then things got worse.
At the age of twelve, Yoo Haneul finally gave his journals to his teacher. There had been whispers about him getting sold, but like every other whisper, he thought it was merely a rumour. But when his mother finally treated him like a real mother should that night, he knew he would never see her again. So young Haneul ran, with all his journals, hiding near the school ground until a guard finally found him. And when Mrs. Lim was called to help, he gave her his whole life. He was scared, and she was the only one he trusted.
Mrs. Lim kept him close and promised to protect him. And she did; his abusers never got the chance to touch him again. But they were never caught.
At the age of thirteen, a publisher called and all hell broke loose. Through the help of his teacher, his story made its way to a renowned true-crime publisher who wanted to use his journals for a book and expose what happened to public. Haneul was reluctant, but the promise of a better life was too tempting for the traumatized child still haunted by nightmares. And so, he agreed to reveal his whole life to the world.
It took a while until people realized they were reading about an ongoing case with the abusers still running free, and that put a pressure on the authority. Haneul's case became the talk of the country. But like every story, some started to accuse the publisher of fabricating the whole story unless they reveal who the boy is, and it quickly spiraled into a mess involving politics. And so, to keep the young Haneul safe from further slander, his face was revealed and Haneul was forced to speak up about his situation.
He was forced to do it. Despite him not wanting the attention. Despite him being afraid of adults.
He was asked to put on a strong front and tell his embarrassing, traumatizing experience to the whole country. In turn for the authority to finally take action against his abuser.
And they did. The man who started it all was imprisoned. But that was it. And Haneul was asked to be satisfied with just that.
But after all was said and then, things did not get better for Haneul. Because now, everyone knew who he was, everyone knew what he went through. They could never see him as just a child anymore. He was either a symbol of weakness or strength. People either sympathized or idolized him. They wanted to know how he lived, as if he was a celebrity. 
Yoo Haneul was just thirteen when people made him the poster boy for strength without his consent. And he was expected to fill that position or be criticized. He was paraded around, asked to give talks and inspire others when all he wanted to do was cry and hide. For him to appear normal, Haneul constantly had to see therapists and take pills to calm his nerves. He needed help to sleep, he needed help to interact with other children his age, let alone with the adults. He was greatly traumatized and yet he was expected to appear strong to be an inspiration to other victims.
He thought everything was over when it ended. But relief never came.
At the age of eighteen, Yoo Haneul decided to publish another book, this time, revealing to the world his truth. He wrote exactly how their ideals broke him, how their obsession turned dangerous at one point, and how he finally managed to cope with everything. The hideous truth so beautifully written it became the top seller, critically acclaimed despite being extremely offensive. People didn't know how to react to it – they wanted to criticize him for taking their 'kind attention' as an attack, but couldn't because it had become apparent what they did wrong. They wanted to criticize him for leading the bad life he did, but it was pointless because Haneul clearly admitted he did wrong. The adults were left speechless, and Haneul got his revenge and freedom back.
That was, until the teenagers mistook his writing as an act of rebellion and idolized him instead. But it didn't matter anymore. He didn't care. In fact, Yoo Haneul stopped caring and trying to fit in a few years back at the age of fifteen.
By the age of eighteen, his walls were strong enough nothing and nobody mattered anymore except himself.
At the age of nineteen, his controversial book got him a scholarship to pursue his study in Linguistic in one of the top universities in Seoul. Yoo Haneul grabbed the opportunity without giving it any further thoughts. Despite what everyone would say about the situation - that the university used him to get attention, the talented young writer knew he deserved it.
He had a year left before college and used that last year to build his name and prepare himself to be a successful writer. He had a long way to go but he knew better than to let fate play itself. He knew no preparation is enough preparation. And he knew nothing lasts forever.
And at the age of twenty, Yoo Haneul met the one who would finally break down his walls...
…an alpha named Jung Sangcheol.

Exposing his abuser through a controversial book was the best thing that happened to Yoo Haneul’s childhood. But growing up being pestered by the public turned everything against him, and now, the young author becomes the cold-hearted, indifferent omega who uses alphas to escape his reality. But then he was rejected by the soft, over-thinking alpha – Jung Sangcheol.

And a few bad encounters and a night of drinking later, the strong walls he built start to crack.

How will the nonchalant alpha break the remaining walls complete? And will the detached omega finally let someone in?

Four?
When the strange man in the patient's garb showed him four fingers, Yellow Wolf felt like the blood in his body rushed to his heart, attempting to overload it. Pain radiated from his chest, and his head was going light. If he was not in the middle of a livestream, he would have tossed the phone away, turned the other way, and run for his life.
Calm down! You are inside a haunted house! These are all human actors! Everything will be fine; everything will be fine! Yellow Wolf tried his best to convince himself, but his body had started to spiral out of control. His legs could not stop shaking.
The man who was normally so good with words was rendered speechless. The cold air caressed his petrified body, and he sensed that the four characters gathered before him were incredibly unique.
Even for people who were born with deformities, they would not have grown up to these strange states. Their limbs were contorted into weird binds. Their bones were not structured like a normal human's. Some of them had their eyes gouged out, and only two dark holes remained in their skull. Another had pupil-less eyes that would occasionally roll around in their sockets. The four patients were arranged in a straight line. The dim lights showered down on them, and Yellow Wolf only then realized that all four of them did not possess a shadow!
"Don't come any closer!" A scream escaped from his lips. At that moment, Yellow Wolf had lost the cool that he had shown inside the room. He finally understood that he had not been interacting with Lee Jiu but the actors inside the Haunted House. After that point registered in his mind, another question surfaced the next second.
Where has Lee Jiu disappeared to then?
He remembered that when he was on the phone with Lee Jiu earlier, the man had sounded different from usual, like he was in serious trouble.
Lee Jiu has worked at a Haunted House for so many years. He is an experienced prop designer within the industry. To be able to make him say things like that, it can only mean that this place is really haunted!
Cold sweat kept sliding down his face. Before Yellow Wolf had gone there, he had done a lot of research regarding the ghost stories that surrounded Chen Ge's Haunted House, and at that moment, all the ghost stories surged into his mind, enveloping him in endless fear.
I should have left when I had the chance!
Alas, regret was already too late. The four characters started to move. Their distorted bodies teetered unevenly as their expressions slowly changed until they hissed dangerously and charged at Yellow Wolf with a roar!
These are not human beings! This Haunted House is really haunted!
Yellow Wolf's lips fell open, but words failed to escape from them. Fear flowed out of his eyes, and he felt like he was about to faint from a lack of oxygen.
"Big Wolf, why have you run out on your own? From the beginning, you have been talking to yourself. This is different from the script that we have rehearsed!"
The sickroom door that about several meters away from Yellow Wolf was pushed open at that moment, and following Yellow Wolf's requirement, Lee Jiu walked out after painting his face scarily.
Hearing Lee Jiu's voice, Yellow Wolf's frozen heart seemed to have welcomed a warm ray of light, and his brain recharged and reassumed control of his body. He turned back around and saw Lee Jiu. He sucked in a deep breath and was about to scream for help when the phone in his hand vibrated noisily.
He lowered his head out of habit to look, and Yellow Wolf saw the name that showed on the caller ID—Lee Jiu.
Lee Jiu is calling me? Then who is this Lee Jiu standing before me?
He touched the accept button with shaking hands. Yellow Wolf used the dregs of strength that he had left and raised the phone to his ear.
"Big Wolf? I can't contact Jinyuan and Cold Guy anymore! I am currently hiding near the entrance. You have to come to me immediately! There is something seriously wrong with this Haunted House!" Lee Jiu's voice came out from the phone—it was filled with nervousness and anxiety. "I am not kidding with you! You have to leave! Now!"
"I know you are not kidding with me…" Yellow Wolf looked at his phone dumbly and then lifted his eyes to inspect the Lee Jiu who was walking toward him. "But the problem is… now there are two of you!"
An indescribable fear crawled into his body through his pours, and this was way beyond Yellow Wolf's threshold. He screamed and launched himself at Lee Jiu, who was in front of him, like his life depended on it. There were four monsters behind him, and there was only one in front of him. At that moment, Yellow Wolf's biological instinct compelled him to make this choice.
"Have you lost your mind? I am Lee…" Before he finished, the mentally-collapsed Yellow Wolf had already reached his side. He gripped his backpack and swung it heavily at Lee Jiu. Lee Jiu had been busy putting on his make-up earlier, so he had no idea what had happened. In that state of innocence and ignorance, he was smacked in the face by Yellow Wolf's backpack.
"I am Lee Jiu! F*ck! You're going to ruin my make-up!" Lee Jiu reached out to grab Yellow Wolf, but the latter resisted like crazy. After all, in his mind, he was being attacked by a ghost, so of course, Yellow Wolf was going to struggle like crazy to escape. In the struggle, Yellow Wolf abandoned his backpack and the phone, which was still livestreaming. He barreled down the corridor, screaming all the way.
"Yellow Wolf!" Lee Jiu held his injured nose. His voice became more nasally from the attack. He was quite worried about Yellow Wolf, so he quickly chased after the man. The two visitors, one running in front, the other chasing at the back, disappeared from the third-floor basement.
The four employees in the patient's garbs gradually slowed down. They shared a look with each other, and they felt like they were being excluded from some kind of fun.
The white eyes turned slightly around, and the 'patient' in the middle had his black hair lifted up from his scalp. The anger in his heart could not be suppressed anymore. When he first appeared, the visitor had shown him three fingers. After he finally gathered three employees, the visitors had shown him four fingers instead.
Now that he had gathered four employees, after fulfilling the man's unreasonable request, the man had left without even a word of thanks for him. This was such a waste of the employee's time!
This was too much! Such disrespect! He should not be forgiven!
Dangerous and scary wounds surfaced on the pale faces. The four angry employees shed their disguise out of fury, and they showed their true faces. The corners of their lips cracked out, and they groaned darkly. Then, the whole building seemed to come alive, and behind the half-open sickrooms, a few more dark-gray arms reached out into the dark.
….
The chains scraped against the floor, creating a bone-chilling noise. A shadow that was pulled long by the light stood alone in front of the Li Wan Private Hospital's entrance.
"They have split up?" Wearing Doctor Skull-cracker's apparel, Chen Ge held the hammer in one hand and stopped before the hospital door. He lowered his head to look at the message sent to him by Tong Tong.
"Someone is conducting a livestream at the third-floor basement of the hospital!"
"I have allowed taking pictures, I have allowed recording videos, and now you people have started livestreaming inside my Haunted House, have you? Have I been too kind with the degree of freedom that I've given them? Have they forgotten who the boss of this place is?" Chen Ge was a good-natured person, and it was rare for him to get angered unless they stepped over his bottom line.
The spikes on the hammer dragged against the ground, and Chen Ge in the skin mask moved to the third-floor basement of the hospital.
"Where have they gone?" The corridor was dark, and there was no one around. However, the temperature was curiously low. Taking out his phone, Chen Ge was about to contact Tong Tong when he noticed a black-colored backpack and a phone abandoned outside Sickroom No. 4.
"A black backpack? I remember a visitor carrying this with him. He should have entered with that creep." Chen Ge did not go to pick the items up immediately. "If the backpack and the phone have been left here but the people has gone missing, it can only mean that they abandoned them out of fear. I wrote in the worker's rulebook that they do not need to hold back once they encounter people who are using their phones to take picture and record videos inside the Haunted House. Could the owner of this backpack be the hidden host? Is it possible that the phone left there is still in the middle of livestreaming?"
After clearing so many Trial Missions, Chen Ge's power of observation was much better than most. Standing away from the phone camera's view, he removed Doctor Skull-Cracker's apparel and then walked to stand beside the black backpack.
"Who is so careless to have left their stuff unattended here? Thankfully, we have surveillance cameras to ensure one hundred percent safety of our visitors." After saying that, Chen Ge turned to the phone lying at the side. "Whose phone is this?"
He picked up the phone, and the chatroom was lagging. Following Yellow Wolf's disappearance, the popularity of his stream did not decrease. If anything, it only continued to rise, and he was only a few steps away from reaching the top.
"A livestream?" Chen Ge had done livestreaming before. When he conducted his mission at the Third Sick Hall, he had even been taught a few tricks on livestreaming. "Good afternoon, everyone. I am Chen Ge, the boss of the Haunted House at Western Jiujiang's New Century Park. Can anyone tell me what happened here earlier?"
Whenever he introduced his Haunted House in public, Chen Ge desperately wished to include the whole address of his Haunted House so that there would be no mistake. The website was lagging, and after a few refreshes, Chen Ge got a brief idea of the whole process.
The host who was responsible for this livestream was Yellow Wolf, nicknamed Big Brother Wolf. He had claimed that he was a descendant of a long line of powerful diviners, and he seemed to have encountered an actual ghost during the livestream. Then, he was so scared that he abandoned his phone and absconded on his own.
When Chen Ge saw that many messages claiming that his Haunted House was really haunted, he felt weirdly exposed, but when he noticed the viewership of the livestream, a glint appeared in his eyes like he had come upon a valuable treasure.
"Actually, all of you have been tricked by Yellow Wolf. How can there be real ghosts in this world? I believe that he was behind everything that you saw earlier." Once Chen Ge said that, he garnered the dissatisfaction from Yellow Wolf's loyal fans.
Chen Ge was not angered. He picked up Yellow Wolf's backpack and soon discovered some problems. "Earlier, someone said that there was a family heirloom, a jade pendant worn by Yellow Wolf, and it would crack on its own when he ran into evil spirits. The pendant had nine cracks once he arrived at my Haunted House, but take a look at these…"
Chen Ge pulled out a bunch of similar-looking jade pendants from the backpack, and there were plenty that were already cracked. "These are jades with horrible quality. This whole bunch here is not even worth much."
Chen Ge conducted the indictment in front of so many viewers, but that was just how open and clear Chen Ge was.
He placed the jade pendants back inside the backpack and opened another pocket. It was filled to the brim with paper talismans with a red background and black characters. Some of them even had the price tag still attached to them. "These are the talismans that his ancestors have left for him, are they? And supposedly, there are only a few of them in the world. Look here, the purchase price is five cents each. How much is he selling one for on his Taobao shop?"
With the truth placed before everyone's eyes, there was no need for argument. Chen Ge replaced Yellow Wolf's stuff and turned to address the camera. "Running into a real ghost inside a Haunted House? That is all a show directed by Yellow Wolf himself. If you would like to see a real ghost and supernatural livestream, I would recommend that you follow me instead."
Chen Ge did not feel that shameless for using this opportunity for advertisement. "My account name is Western Jiujiang Haunted House, and the profile picture is the gates of my Haunted House. I livestreamed for some time in the past, but it kinda fell to the wayside after things got a bit too busy. If there's a chance in the future, I will bring everyone a real supernatural livestream to search for the real ghost stories that are hidden in the shadows of this city!"
Chen Ge took out his phone and logged into the streaming account that he had not been using for a long time already, and he advertised himself shamelessly in Yellow Wolf's stream. After he did all that, the follower number for his account experienced a drastic increase, and in fact, some of the viewers in Yellow Wolf's room managed to recognize him.
"After this round, the viewership should shoot over 250,000." The other company had invested a lot in Yellow Wolf to help him gain traffic, and the platform itself had been promoting Yellow Wolf since the start of the week, so of course, Chen Ge was not going to let that go to waste.
After he was done promoting his own personal account, it was time to advertise his own Haunted House. Perhaps because the platform that Chen Ge used was different from Yellow Wolf's, this kind of open advertisement attracted the platform's ire, and it did not take long for the official party to temporarily ban Yellow Wolf's livestream room.
Looking at the darkened screen, Chen Ge felt quite saddened and empty. "As I should have known, opportunities are given to those who are readied and prepared. I should have spoken faster in case this happened."
Deactivating Yellow Wolf's phone, Chen Ge looked at his account's follower number, which was still rising, and he revealed a smile. "This brother has gifted me a very big present. I should personally thank him myself."
Putting his backpack and phone away, Chen Ge put on Doctor Skull-cracker's apparel, the human skin mask, and lifted the hefty hammer.
To thank Yellow Wolf, Chen Ge decided to track the man down himself, to show his appreciation in person.


The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. 
At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

Nicole and Edwin Zo quietly sat still after Aston joined them while the actor simply placed the cup of tea in front of them. He lifted the one he made for himself and took a sip.
"Nicole, if you want to know anything, you should ask me. I will be able to reply you better than Edwin. After all, it's about me." He broke the silence with a calm voice. He turned to Nicole who was now looking at her with an apologetic face. However, he smiled, proving to her that he wasn't upset about it.
"Edwin, I trust in your skills. So, I hope that you will do a great job." Aston said, looking at his former subordinate.
"Rest assured. I will give my all." Edwin promptly replied.
After talking out the details, Edwin left the Chairwoman's house.
"Now." Aston suddenly said, turning his body to Nicole and placed his left elbow on top of the back support of the couch. "I think it's time to ask me whatever you want to know."
Nicole looked at him and thought of the things that Edwin Zo told her. "I have a second thought. I think it would be better for me not to know."
"Why? You're always a curious person as far as I could remember." Aston mused though there was a hint of amazement in his voice.
"I suddenly realized that it would bring no good. I know most of it, so it's better this way. It would be uncomfortable for you to talk about it. Besides, if I know everything... " She paused and her lips curved into a playful smile. "I might want to kill Lester Yun. It would be a headache."
"Are you sure that you won't be curious about this anymore? It would be a hassle if it happens again." The actor said with an amusing smile.
"I won't." Nicole promptly said. "By the way, you release a statement pretty fast today. It seems like you can't wait to admit the rumours." She let out a light chuckle.
"Of course. I feel like a leash that restraint me is finally removed. From now on, everyone will know about us. Besides... " His lips curved into a menacing smile when he said, "It would be great to drive away other men."
"When did other men ever bothered me?" The Chairwoman was quite confident until... she realized one thing.
Aston observed her change in demeanor and smiled. "You remember faster than I expect." He remarked.
"Actually..." Nicole muttered, cautiously eyeing Aston. "You know that guy from the morning walk."
"I know him? You don't say that before. You said that I won't know him even if you tell me." The actor blurted out with a perplexed face.
"I don't lie at that time. I have no idea that you know each other." Nicole paused before she said, "It's Mario Aris."
"Zander?" Aston slightly smiled. "Then I don't think I have to worry. He is just being friendly. Besides, he's a good man."
Nicole nodded. "That's great then. I was quite troubled when you introduce me to him that night. Besides, he is rarely serious and it's always so hard to know what exactly he's thinking."
"Zander has a tough childhood and he's quite similar to me," Aston remarked.
"Similar?"
The actor nodded. "He smiles a lot to hide his scars. I always did that before I met you and I understand him. So, it would be great if you can be patient with him."
"Alright. I will try but it will need a lot of patience, much more than you could imagine." Nicole said and let out a laughter.
* * *
When Aston left Nicole's house, he encountered an unexpected intrusion once again. When he saw the person, he frowned.
"Cassandra Lim, I thought we already talk out everything. It's never a pleasant thing to meet you." He bluntly said to the Moyan Boss.
"Don't worry, Aston Kang. I'm not here to create trouble for you. Because of you, I finally had the chance to normally talk to Nathan. So, I'm here to repay you." Cassandra Lim simply said to the actor. Though she maintained a calm face, her voice hint at seriousness.
"Repay me?" The actor wondered what the Moyan Boss was talking about. Besides, a part of him still doubted her.
"I know that your impression of me is not that great. However, I bet you would already hear of this. I may be infamous but I always return a favour." Cassandra told the actor.
"How do you plan to repay me?" Aston simply asked.
Cassandra glanced around her surroundings. "Can we talk somewhere indoors? Perhaps your apartment?"
Her suggestion confused the actor. "You want me to let you enter my house?" He gave her a suspicious look.
The Moyan Boss slightly frowned. "Look at me, Aston Kang. I came alone. Besides, I'm not foolish enough to attack the Pacesetter alone. It's not like I don't know where your apartment is." Her displeasure and annoyance were so evident in her voice.
Aston smirked at her last sentence. "There's nothing that you don't know, isn't it?"
"Cut the crap. Will you let me enter your apartment? I don't have much time." Cassandra said in a stern voice.
Aston observed her one last time before he said, "Alright. Just follow my car."
Cassandra Lim nodded and they both entered their car and drove to the actor's apartment.
*
"So, how do you plan to repay me?" Aston asked Cassandra when they took a seat on the couch in his apartment. To be honest, he really didn't wish to get involved with this Moyan Boss. However, she was quite adamant this time and it made him curious.
"It's the same thing I mentioned before." Cassandra noticed the actor's impassive face and she quickly added, "But the deal is gone. I can solve my problem on my own now."
The Moyan Boss confident attitude made Aston curious about one more thing. Seemed like he should visit Nathan soon and checked him out.
Cassandra put a file on the small table for Aston to see it. "I collected those to make you help me. However, you are quite a loyal friend. But still, you help me in some way, so I must return the kindness." She said, gesturing Aston to open the file.
The actor took the file with a bit of hesitation. However, when he opened the file, he ended up squeezing the cover. "Are you trying to play a game with me, Cassandra Lim?"
"Definitely not. You should look more. Don't judge it too easily." Cassandra calmly said.
Biting his lip, Aston sat still for a while before he looked at the file again. When he checked out the document in the middle, he raised a brow. "What is the meaning of this?"
Cassandra Lim slightly smiled. "I figured that you will want to get back your name. But first, you have to solve your father's case for that. That will help you."
Aston observed the file for a while before he put it down and turned to Cassandra. "How did you get your hands on this?"
"Is that important?" The Moyan Boss asked without even thinking.
"Cassandra, I'm not a fool. If someone like you who knows nothing about my father could easily get your hands on this, I will also be able to do it." The actor said in a stern voice.
Cassandra Lim fell silent for a while, debating what to say. Then she leaned a bit forward to Aston who was sitting opposite her. "Though it's against my principle to tell you all this, I will say it. After all, you're someone who is important to Nathan."
She fell silent again for a few seconds. If Aston didn't know Cassandra's nature, he will surely think that she was feeling nervous.
"First, you should promise me you won't tell anyone that I'm the one who tells you this, especially members from my Moyan Gang. Second, the current members of my gang have nothing to do with this. So, don't hold them responsible. Accept my two conditions first." Cassandra said to him cautiously.
Aston thought about it before he said, "Alright. You have my word."
Cassandra nodded. "I know you're a man of your word. I will trust you." She made a deliberate paused and said, "At the time of your father's death, Moyan Gang was lead by my late father. They used to work for one man who supported them financially and also in many other ways possible."
"According to my informant who used to work for my father, the Moyan Gang received an order from the man whom they worked for. The order was... to kill your father, Ethan Min. As you also know, they succeeded." Cassandra said, observing Aston's reaction.
The actor's reaction was a mix of amazement and rage. His eyes showed the bitter emotion he felt and Cassandra knew how hard he tried to stay put.
"I risk a lot to tell you this but - "
"I will keep my word," Aston said, interrupting Cassandra as he could guess what she was thinking. "However, I want to know the identity of the man. If you get this information from someone who used to work for your father, then I'm sure that you will know the man's identity. I want to know that."

Inside the Samhwa Network studios, a few important characters  were in a meeting.
"So writer Eun Kyun. What do you think about Dylan Park as the male lead for our next drama?"
A man with short brown hair , and thick glasses asks as he looks to the rest of the room.
"I wrote it with him in mind, Manager Lim but will his schedule allow for it? I heard he just finished filming a movie in Hollywood, do we have a big enough budget?" The thin female answers nervously
Manager Lim scoffs at her remark, the pride clearly evident, their last production "Railways" had broken many national television ratings even topping that of Eyeris.
"It will sure not be easy, but think about it. The biggest studio in Korea He is at the top of his popularity right now, The Man From Nowhere just ended its TV run, we have there is no better offer than us. I'm sure our ratings will be the greatest ever!"
One of the producers raises his hand, "But what about his acting?"
"Did you really just ask that?"
The rest of them look towards him as he slowly lowers his hands in embarrassment.
Manager Lim, stretches his hands in the air as he stretches the fatigue away.
"Zhen, set up a meeting"
"Yes, sir " the lowly junior answers eagerly.
.....
Laying on the couch eating potato chips while reading through a pile of scripts we have been offered. After hours I finally found something interesting again.
"Baechu, what do you think about this drama?" I say as I lean lazily towards her.
Coming closer, she reads the title out loud "Bread, love and dreams… Sounds interesting. What's it about?"
"It covers the life of Kim Tak-gu from the 1970's until the late 1980's as he becomes one of the most successful bakers in all of korea"
"And you want t play him?"
"As If, beign the good guy is too boring. I really like the character of Ma Joon, Tak-gu's jealous brother. Besides when a villain is hot and makes you question your morality. Isn't it just so much sexier?" 
"There is definitely something wrong with you,"
"Maybe … but there's also something really right about me" I say insinuating something less than innocent.
"YOU!" She screams in protest pushing me away from her as I laugh merrily.
.....
A couple of days late, Yuri and I reach a production office near the business district of Seoul where we are led to the third floor.
As we enter the room, all eyes immediately shift towards the Main character.
Many eyes were trying to see through him, while some were hoping to see through his clothes but I keep my calm as I greet.
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Dylan Park" I bow a full 90' degrees displaying my respectful tone as several people nod approvingly.
After some greetings and small talk, the casting meeting finally starts.
"What does Mr Park think about our drama?" The first question is thrown by a man with senior with light brown hair.
'So that's General Manager Lim, huh' I think as I link the man to the reference pictures I had seen earlier. 
Beside him was a young fresh faced director Jung-sub and a smiley writer Kang Eun Kyung (Previous iteration retconned- remember to change) who together would become one of the greatest creative duo's Korea had ever seen.
"Well, I think…." I speak slowly and deliberately " it will be an absolute hit. I read the script and the besides the story telling a typical Cinderella tale in a modern spin, it has many idiosyncrasies which are bound to capture the audience attention. Therefore should you find actors who are able to bring to life the traits of the many charming characters, I see no reason why this wouldn't be a success" I quickly summarise all the good points of the drama I could think of.
"Hmmm and what is your definition of success?" He follows up
"Commercially 100,000 000 - 200  000 000 in ad dollars, with that number to increase in syndication and a national  rating of 50%"
Shock fills the eyes of all in the room at the confidence with which I speak.
"You do know that even with our previous project we only managed to raise a quarter of that right, and we had a rating of 30!, I think you are being a little optimistic" He says leading the room to chuckle in politeness
"No sir. I think you are underestimating my value. Not to over-hype myself but I have a 6 movie deal with Marvel Studios. As much as I can tell you is that they are embarking on a movie syndication of sorts. We see it with the Iron Man getting its sequel and an announcement of a Phase 1 in development, the first of which was Iron Man, The incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 , an announced Captain America and Thor movies. The first three of which have grossed over $1 billion. And I ...am about to enter that universe, please don't undersell my value"
Just as General Manager Lim is about to protest, the smiling writer Eun Kyung asks ignoring all the financial jargon, with a full focus on the script and compatibility " What will you do if I were to say that based on the Dylan Park I have met today, you would better fit the role of the second male lead instead of the male lead?"
Surprised for a moment, I quickly answer her "That would not be a problem at all. I already said that I wanted to do the script because of the characters. I don't mind playing the second lead role. But just because you driving a Ferrari as a Toyota, do not forget it's a Ferrari"
Still smiling she laughingly answers" I know, and I will remind the accounting department of same"
Its not unheard of for supporting actors to be the ones who get paid the most. I just wanted to remind them, of my value to the project. I might not be the one at the top of the poster, but I will be the person taking home the biggest check now.

Dylan was an ordinary 18 year old with a particular taste for the older girls. What will happen when one day he finds himself in the past possessing a body no longer his own.

Dance like a b-boy, spin like a pen. Well, it is a pen, a spinning pen actually.

As usual, none of our main characters are paying attention in class. One is out there hitting on girls and another one is trying to ruin his best friends love life, another one is sleeping again today. The one who always running around naked is doing pushups, last but not least...wait, he isn't playing games today?

The wind moved around with the pen in Koh Zi Hong's fingers as he spins the spinning pen like it was a part of his body.

"Hey, the ones sitting there pay attention!"

Lim Zhen Cong's sudden outburst startled Koh Zi Hong to dropped his pen onto the floor.

Just when he was about to bend down under the table to look for his pen John Ng Jia An suddenly popped out of nowhere and told him that he will be the one to go under the table to look for his pen and so the adventure of a lifetime begins under a table at After School Tuition Centre.

"It has been 30 minutes, what is taking him so long?" Koh Zi Hong said as his head looks under the table to find his missing friend.

"Shhh… the best part is coming up." John Ng who is watching porn under the table turned his head around as he placed his finger in front of his lips, signaling Koh Zi Hong to shut up.

PAK

"Damn it, John, I have been waiting for thirty minutes and you are down here watching porn?" Koh Zi Hong, who is now sitting beside John Ng, said after giving him a strong slap on the head.

"Hey come and play with me." Koh Zi Hong said as he shows the game loading on his phone to John Ng, yet he only got silence as a reply because John Ng is to focus on his favourite entertainment.

"Wah, the two of you so selfish sit down here together playing yet none of you called me." Lee Kai Wen said as he is the next one who sats under the table with his friends.

As a slacker, Lee Kai Wen uses his school bag as a pillow and lies down on the floor taking a nap.

"Fuck, our MC is not going to play the main role in this chapter again."

AHH!

Chong Xi Kang, who is also now under the table told his friends in the voice of Lim Zhen Cong, giving them a shock as they thought that their teacher had found their hiding spot.

A deep sigh comes out from Chong Xi Kang's mouth as he told his friends. "Because this lazy coconut is sleeping here, I can't do anything so I'm leaving."

...

As you would expect when you are talking to two people who are too focused on their task at hand and another one person who would prefer to sleep than do anything all you would receive is silence. 

You just might have a better chance of getting a reaction if you are talking to a piece of rock rather than these three idiots.

"Wow, I can see everything down here." The quintet finally made all their appearances the last member Tan Han Sheng also sats under the table with his friends.

Tan Han Sheng then started to look for an opportunity to find a girlfriend again and as usual, he finds it and started making a plan.

"Hey, are you an angle because from this angle you look like the most beautiful one up there in heaven."

From under the table with a rose in his mouth, Tan Han Sheng said with a charming tone, his left eye winks as the rose in his mouth moves to his hand and finally to the girl.

When the girl was about to accept the rose, a pink panty with love patterns suddenly fell on Tan Han Sheng's face causing the girl to freeze right on the spot.

John Ng then popped his head out from under the table and told the girl. "He is a panty freak, all this time he was actually looking at your panty."

The colour red painted the girl's face as she gave Tan Han Sheng's face a strong kick causing his face and the table to meet with each other at full force.

BAM

The table fell over revealing the four of them each doing their own thing under the table.

ALL OF YOU STAY THERE!

Lim Zhen Cong, who is now pissed off by them, started running towards them with his back scratcher in hand as usual.

John Ng eyes open wide as he quickly grabs Tan Han Sheng who just got kicked in the face by the girl, Koh Zi Hong who is still playing his game and Lee Kai Wen that is sleeping as danger approaches.

He grabbed the two of them by the shirt in his right hand and another one in his left, his destination?



Anywhere that is safe of course.

At the same time, Lee Kai Wen slowly opens his eyes as a familiar scene unfurls before his eyes. 'Is the author ending the story so soon? If not why do we get to see such a nostalgic scene?'

Then a thought flashes through his mind as a crooked smile shows up when they pass by Chong Xi Kang, Lee Kai Wen grabbed him by his wrist and dragged him away with him.

The five of them passes through the door and down the stairs until finally, John Ng's left hands gave out as he lets go of Lee Kai Wen who brought an "extra load" with him.

But as "true friends" Lee Kai Wen and Chong Xi Kang pull John Ng's leg causing him to trip.

"I got the five of you."



Lim Zhen Cong finally caught up with them; he quickly ties a rope round their body and dragged them back into the tuition center with his back scratcher in his pocket like it was his scabbard.

WE ARE SORRY!

End of week 23.

Ahh! 

School had ended and it is time to go home and relax... 

Who am I lying to? I have tuition after school every day, being forced to learn some useless facts with a bunch of idiots with the risk of being killed by a back scratcher.

You don't know what tuition is?

Count yourself lucky, but if you are curious…

Come and join a colourful cast of characters as they give you the most inaccurate representation of what a tuition center is!

An adventure filled with laughs, love, friendships, perverts, and stupidity. Not so sure about the friendship and love part, but the stupidity and perverts are one hundred percent correct!

THE driver that Light had called arrived in not less than ten minutes, and he's driving a Rover. Now, Blue is certain that this shameless man who stood tall beside her is a young master of a family.
The car stopped in front of Light and Blue, and the driver stepped out of the car. He bowed to the two.
"Young Master, Young Master's girlfriend." The driver politely greeted the two. Blue's thought that Light is a young master, it's right, but the driver called her 'Young Master's girlfriend.' Well, maybe she's just overthinking, and there is a space between the words 'girl' and 'friend' in the driver's mind.
The driver opened the door of the car and Blue entered first. Light said something to the driver before entering the car. They were seated in the back seat and no one dared to talk when they were on the road.
Because of her boredom, Blue almost dozed off while she's still in the Lim family's car, but her phone suddenly vibrated. She checked who the caller was and it's her father.
Blue answered the call with a very soft voice.
"Papa, why did you call?"
"Blossom, I heard that you resigned an your sister is the new director." Mr. Qin's voice was calm, but Blue knew better than that. When her father talks in this tone, it only means that he's fuming mad.
"Mm, where did you here that from, Papa?"
"A son of my friend here also works there, and he told me the details."
"Don't worry about me, Papa. I already found a new job." Blue tried to assure her father, but she knows that her father wouldn't end the conversation there.
"New work? Did you apply as a fashion designer again? You perfectly know that with your credentials, you're qualified to be a department head or director, but when you entered the 1997 Company, you gave me an excuse that you still wanted to learn and explore. Blossom, go for what you deserve. Don't settle for less."
Blue sighed when she heard her father's remarks. "Papa, I signed a contract with the KNK Graphics Company. One of their manhua artists is collaborating with me."
"Huh? I thought you were a novelist? Since when did you start to draw manhua?"
"I'm just going to draw the clothes of the characters. Rest assured that the pay is good."
"Then... are you happy with that decision of yours?"
"I'm happy, Papa. When people read the manhua, they can see my creations, though it's simply a drawing." Blue smiled dreamily while thinking of what could possibly happen when she stays on this path.
"Then I'm also fine with your decision. I'll hang up now. Call me when you want or need to." Mr. Qin ended the call and Blue shifted into a comfortable sitting position. Her gaze landed on Light, and the man was also looking at her.
"What?" She asked, thinking that he needs something for her.
The man looked at the front and didn't mind the girl beside him.
The car suddenly stopped and Blue realized that they are in front of the gate of the most exclusive subdivision in X City. The gate is in gold color and it automatically opened when the driver opened the window in his side.
The car moved again and Blue wanted to drool over the houses built in the subdivision. Everything in the subdivision is beautiful, it's like an ugly thing will be out of place when it's placed in this subdivision.
Also, everything shouts expensiveness. Blue was calculating the approximate price of the houses in her head, but there are too many digits so she just gave up on thinking about it.
They stopped in front of an enormous black gate, with a big 'LIM' in color gold embossed on it. The gate automatically opened and the car moved again.
The sun had already set but everything in the place is still shining, but the only thing that Blue noticed is the morning glory flowers planted everywhere. Ah! This place is heaven!
The car stopped moving and the driver stepped out of the car. He opened the door at Light's side and when Light got out, Blue also stepped out of the car. She was about to admire the beauty of the place, but she heard the barking of dogs surrounding the place, and five dogs were running towards her direction.
Blue had no time to think so she immediately jumped on Light's back. She embraced his waist with her legs and hugged his neck with her arms. Light didn't know what to do for a moment, but he suddenly realized that the person on his back is afraid of dogs.
"Get down first." Light told Blue but Blue shook her head hard, looking at the dogs that are surrounding them. "Trust me, okay. I won't let those dogs eat you."
Blue unwillingly let go of him and stood on the ground. She still hasn't gathered her senses when she felt that she was lifted up.
Light carried her in bridal style!
Light swiftly walked towards their home's door with Blue on his arms. He pressed the doorbell and a woman in her early 50s opened the door for him.
The woman almost dropped her jaw when she saw that her son is carrying a girl in his arms. The girl hid her face in Light's chest, afraid of being seen by anyone.
"Son..." The woman greeted her son, not knowing what to say.
"Mom." Light greeted the woman back.
Light's Mom stood aside and let the two enter the house. She immediately closed the door and followed the two.
She almost sighed when Light put down the girl when they arrived at the living room.
"There are no dogs inside the house." Light told the girl and the girl nodded silently.
Light went upstairs, probably going to his room, and Blue was left in the living room.
When Light's Mom saw that his son is nowhere to be seen, she walked towards the direction of the girl that his son had brought home.
"Hello!" Mrs. Lim enthusiastically greeted Blue, and Blue awkwardly gave her a smile.
"You're... Mrs. Lim?" Blue clarified and Mrs. Lim cheerfully nodded.
"You can call me Mommy Hilda!"
"..."
"Mom! What are you talking about?" Light spoke and his mom glared at him.
"You stinky brat! You didn't tell me that you're going to bring your girlfriend here! I haven't prepared! The heirloom... It's still in the other house!" Mrs. Lim panicked and Light patted the old woman's back.
"She's not my girlfriend." Light grinned and sat beside Blue.
The three people in the living room heard footsteps and all of them glanced at the grand staircase. A man wearing an Italian type suit walked down the stairs gracefully and Blue wanted to clap for him.
"Stinky old man! You were wearing shorts and shirt a while ago!" Mrs. Lim shouted at the man who just came down and the man acted dignified, raising a brow at Mrs. Lim.
"I heard the commotion so I changed into presentable clothes." The man said and glanced at Blue. He offered his hand to Blue. "Hello, daughter-in-law. I'm Ji Won Lim, Light's father."
Blue hesitantly shook Mr. Lim's hand.
"Ji Won! Why are you acting like that? You might scare the little girl. You look like a villainous dad in a drama who wants their son to marry a woman from a wealthy family." Mrs. Lim hit Mr. Lim's head and the dignified aura that Mr. Lim imposed is all gone.
Mr. Lim laughed and asked Blue, "What is your name?"
"I'm Sorrow Blossom Qin. You can call me Blue." Blue introduced herself and Mrs. Lim's eyes widened.
"You're Blue, the designer?" Mrs. Lim inquired.
"Yes." Blue shyly agreed and Mrs. Lim shrieked.
"Can you design my dress for me and my husband's renewal of vows?"
"Sure, Mrs. Lim." Blue smiled lightly.
"Hmm, Qin... Are you somehow related to Cherry Joy Qin?" Mr. Lim asked.
"She's my elder sister." Blue's voice suddenly became cold and the old couple knew that they should stop asking.
"Blossom is here to familiarize herself in my workplace. She'll be drawing the clothes of my characters." Light immediately changed the topic and Blue sighed in relief.
"Oh? That's good! Your taste in clothing is really bad." Mrs. Lim commented then glanced at Blue. "Why don't we eat first? I just prepared dinner before the two of you came and I'm glad that someone's joining us."
They went to the dining hall and Blue's mood became better when she saw the foods in the table.
They sat down and ate quietly. Light's parents ask questions occasionally and Blue answered each and every question politely.
When they were done eating, Mr. Lim went to the study room, Mrs. Lim went to their bedroom, and only Light and Blue were left on the house's first floor.
Light faked a cough. "My work room is in the third floor. Nothing else is in there so it's quite spacious."
Light went upstairs and Blue silently followed him. They arrived at the third floor and Blue didn't expect the design of the place...

Blue is a fashion designer envied by her colleagues because her name is remarkable in the fashion industry, but little did they know, she's also a web novel writer in Words by You, a writing platform famous in their country.

Light is a web novel writer in Words by You, main genre is Mystery/Thriller, but little did his readers know, he's also a manhua artist, famous in that industry.

These two people, they don't get along very well.

What if one day, they need to work with each other?

"Hey how about we go to the haunted house?" asked Haru, pointing towards a big building where it's decorated with Halloween deco. Out of excitement, Bryan and Kang agreed. 'Hehe, this is my chance!'
'There's no way Haru's going to get close to Bryan!'
'Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Thompson for treating us today!'
They went into the haunted house, they looked the sign said
"Проект: SCP 096, 109,049,682)
ПОШЛО НЕ ТАК
АБОРТ ОБЪЕКТА.
(Project : SCP 096, 106, 049, 682
GONE WRONG
ABORT THE FACILITY.)
K ~ isn't SCP 096 the shy guy?
H ~ I don't know.
B ~ It's true. Better not look him in the face
The place is decorated very well. It has cells for each SCP. Suddenly someone was pulling Haru's dress. "Sister..."
"Aww! It's a little girl!"
"I'm SCP 040. I really want a real name and escape this place." Said the little girl.
'a name?'
"What do they usually call you?" Bryan asked as he kneels down to little girl.
"Evolution's child."
Haru thought for a second for what name to give to an SCP. She turned back to the child. She grabbed something out of her sling bag. She took out a candy and wrote something on the wrapper. "Here." Haru gave the little girl a chocolate lollipop. "This was supposed to be for my nephew but I think he would like to give it to you." Said Haru. SCP 040 read what Haru wrote on the lollipop.
"Evo?"
"Do you like it?" asked Haru. She was worried the name wasn't fit for a little girl like her. The girl laughed. "This is the perfect name! Спасибо! Я надеюсь, что у вас есть хорошая жизнь с двумя парнями здесь! (thank you! I hope you have a good life with you two boyfriends here!)"
Kang blushed upon what he just heard. They all went out. "Where did you guys went?" asked Felix. He just got off the Cranium Shaker with Belle, he was very dizzy, Belle already went to the bathroom to vomit. "That boring haunted house." said Kang. "Haunted house?" Felix was confused. "Isn't that attraction still under construction?" asked Felix
Three of them froze shocked.
'Then where were we...?' thought Haru. "What is theme of the haunted house?" asked Bryan. Still confused and dizzy, Felix answered "I think it's a facility... SCP." 
"No wonder there's nobody there..."
"But there was a little girl there!" said Haru. "Maybe it was an illusion." Bryan calmed Haru down. Haru was still not satisfied. 'I gave her Eun Ha's candy!' They all went to the roller coaster. "It's so fassst!" said Ivan. "Finally something good to ride!" said Kang.
They went on the roller coaster. It went slowly first then it went very fast. Suddenly Jaemo's voice came back. 'I could kill all four of you right now...'
Haru heard screws slowly became loose. "STOP THE RIDE!" The employee heard Haru yelling before they reach the fast lane. "What's up?" asked Sabrina. "The screws on the track are getting loose. "Nonsense. We'll check it." said on of the employees.
After 20 minutes of waiting, The employees came and said "The results are..."
