“Aiden? Is that you?” Without any hesitation or fear, Lea suddenly ran towards the suspicious figure. She hugged him tightly as if she didn't want to lose him.
“Aiden, don't go again!” Lea didn't want to let go of Aiden as if her world would end if she let him go.
The man approached and pointed a gun at Gaeul. “Stay away from my lover!” she roared. He thought that she was being ambushed by the two strange and suspicious young men.
“Stop it Aiden they're not bad. They're my friends who I want to help.” Lea asked Aiden to calm down.
Aiden remained silent, but it was clear from the look on his face that he didn't like Gaeul and Helian.
Gaeul, who could sense the dangerous aura emanating from the man, backed away.
“Lea we'll part ways with you here. Helian and I will go together,” he said firmly. Gaeul pulled Helian's hand forcefully, causing her friend to almost be dragged away like a sack of rice.
Lea was about to intervene but Aiden held her back. Instead, his lover whispered something like this in Lea's ear, “just don't let them go, it's much better for everyone.”

Helian threw down the knife and pried out one of the window bolts. He opened it forcefully and then jumped from there. After that she used the pieces of cloth that had been tied before to make a rope.
Gaeul climbed up with the rope. But who would have thought in the middle of his climbing action. He was almost shot in the chest.
Helian panicked he immediately helped Gaeul to get upstairs by pulling the cloth. He was scared thinking his friend's life would end soon but who would have thought, Gaeul suddenly woke up immediately and showed no symptoms of pain.
“Are you crazy? Did you just get shot?” Helian watched Gaeul closely trying to notice the wound on his friend's body.
“Don't nag me I'm fine.” Gaeul took out a thin layer of steel from his shirt. He then threw the steel lining which was apparently a metal cutting board.
Helian gaped in disbelief as Gaeul removed the object from her body. “You... where did you get that from?”
“Don't bother thinking about it. Please keep this because I'm going to use it, as a place to cut out the internal organs of those bastards here.” Gaeul handed the metal cutting board to Helian.

Lea was silent for a moment. Her heart really felt frantic. She honestly did not intend to think about this unrest continuously. But the Aiden she saw in front of her eyes right now was a completely different person. His face was indeed similar and his appearance was exactly the same as his lover's. But for some reason, her heart kept telling her that the Aiden she was seeing was not her beloved Aiden.
“Aiden ....” Lea called softly.
Aiden turned around and looked at Lea worriedly. “What's wrong Lea?” he asked worriedly. “Are you hurt? Does something hurt?”
Lea shook her head. She unlinked her hands with Aiden. Then pushed the man away from her. “You're not Aiden. You can't lie to me!” she said loudly. Even as she said this, Lea suddenly burst into tears. I don't know why her heart felt so empty right now. She felt lost, she felt abandoned, and she felt lied to.
“Thank you for realizing it.” The man who had previously admitted that he was Aiden, now smiled resignedly. “I'm not Aiden. But I really need your help here,” he said.
Lea raised her face. “What can I do for you? I'm just a prisoner here. And I don't know who you really are. You even pretended to be my lover.” Lea really couldn't think of anything.
The man pretending to be Aiden smiled again. But obviously the smile he showed on his face was completely different from before.
“You can definitely help me to save those two people, right?” The mysterious smile that was faithfully displayed on Aiden's face really gave off a strange aura.
“You mean Gaeul and Helian?” Lea growled. For some reason she felt scared in case the person pretending to be her lover ended up attacking her two friends.
“Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards either of them. I just need your cooperation to rescue them from this place.” The man turned his back on Lea and as he turned his body, he approached Lea and eroded the distance between them. “But there will be some sacrifices required here and it all depends on your decision,” he said.

“Watch your back or else you'll get a hole in your ass!” Helian screamed in panic. Of course he was panicking to death, seeing Gaeul who was caught off guard and almost got slashed by a man with a shaved head.
“Fool. That ass already has a hole. Do you mean to add to the hole that already had a hole before?” While replying to Helian's answer, Gaeul directly stabbed the eyeball, the person who was about to stab Helian from the front. “You also take a good look at the one in front of you.”
“Okay brother!” Helian gave a thumbs up.
After finishing off several people who were about to finish them off. Not long after, there was a sound like an alarm going off.
And that's when the figure of the priest along with his men appeared, with an amazingly muscular body that defeated the real bodybuilders.
“Hey, I wonder what kind of supplements and proteins make their bodies so bloated? Having a body like a muscular monster is pleasing to the eye. It's not pretty at all,” Helian commented dissatisfied with the bodies of the priest's men. For him, who was a lover of beauty, seeing those wild muscles made him a little sick.
“Your hips are not pretty! How can you make a comment at a time like this.” Gaeul couldn't get over Helian's behavior.
“Did these brats make a scene earlier?” The priest looked displeased. He then looked at Gaeul and Helian alternately with a sense of domineering dislike.
Feeling stared at made Gaeul and Helian feel uncomfortable. Especially Helian, his nostrils had even fluttered many times because he felt too nervous.
“Are you the leader of this cult?” asked Gaeul calmly. Despite feeling a little uncomfortable, Gaeul was in fact much more rational than Helian who easily got carried away.
The priest furrowed his forehead. He seemed to dislike being belittled by the young man. Especially when Gaeul looked indifferent. Even Gaeul himself still had time to pluck Helian's nose hairs to make his friend stop feeling nervous.
“It's just a bug. Just get rid of it and everything will be fine. You don't need to know more about this matter.” The priest didn't want to linger with the two young men. He then pointed the gun and was about to shoot Gaeul first.
