South Korea, Goseong County – 11:20pm
A young man stood across the street from the Velvet Tide nightclub. It was raining, and the purple light of the "Velvet Tide" sign illuminated him slightly. He wore a black trench coat that almost touched the wet ground. A black suit underneath with a white tie was all finished off with black dress shoes.
He held an umbrella in his right hand and looked down at his phone, which he held in his left hand.
"From: Min-Seo Mi
Text me when you're there, also don't seem too suspicious, Jisoo."
Jisoo put his phone away before looking both ways and crossing the street. Next to the front doors stood a giant muscular man, who wore a suit and looked serious. The man looked down at Jisoo for a second before speaking, "I need some ID verification." Jisoo reached into his pockets and took out a wallet; he pulled out his ID and handed it to the security guard. He looked down at it and analyzed it for a few seconds before handing it back to Jisoo.
Jisoo put his wallet away as he pushed open the doors of the club and walked in. It reeked of alcohol. The dance floor was full of people. There were round tables all around, each one having four chairs. Most of them were occupied, and there were also sofas placed around the dance floor. Almost everywhere he looked, someone was kissing. "It reeks of alcohol. I just need to find the underground section she told me about and leave." Jisoo thought.
Jisoo closed his umbrella and began walking around the club. He would occasionally bump into people. Out of nowhere, a woman grabbed Jisoo's hand and drew his attention. As soon as they met eyes, the woman kissed him. He put his left hand on her cheek and pushed her away. "You reek of alcohol, stay away from me."
Jisoo walked over to the bar and took a seat on one of the bar stools. To his right, a man sat there, chugging down a whole glass of beer. No one sat to his left. The bartender walked over to Jisoo, a mug in his right hand and a white towel in his left. "Would you like anything to drink, Sir?" Jisoo coldly shook his head before asking, "Do you know about the underground section, and where could it be?"
The bartender raised an eyebrow as he cleaned the inside of the mug. "No idea what you're talking about."
Jisoo sighed before standing up and walking away. He pushed through the people on the dance floor and began walking up some stairs. He was now on the second floor. He looked around—nothing.
The second floor was just hallways leading to different doors, all of which had a sign on them: "Men's Bathroom," "Women's Bathroom," "VIP Room." All the other doors had the same sign: "Employees Only."
"What am I even doing on the second floor," Jisoo thought as he sighed, before walking to one of the employee-only doors and opening it. It was just a bathroom. He closed the door before walking to another door, opened it slowly, and peeked inside. Suddenly, he felt someone grab his shoulder. He looked back and it was a giant security guard. "I saw you open the employee-only bathroom by accident. I thought it was an accident… but now I know it wasn't."
Jisoo softly smiled as he looked back at the man. "I am so sorry, but I am in fact a worker. I just forgot my uniform." The guard laughed as he grabbed him by the wrist. "Horrible excuse, let me take you outside." Jisoo's expression became cold, and abruptly he escaped the grip of the guard. "Let me do what I want, or I'll kill you."
The security guard scoffed before stepping back and raising his hands into the air. "Oh, I'm sorry I'll leave you alone, please don't hurt me!" The guard then laughed and said, "KIDDING. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!"
Before throwing a full-power punch at Jisoo's face. Jisoo took the punch and was sent through the employee-only door. He landed on his back. He stood up and looked around—it was the power room. The security guard walked into the room and mocked Jisoo, "Still think you can kill me? My punch sent you flying. Just leave before I have to force you."
Jisoo ignored the man and kept looking around. The guard got annoyed and threw another punch. Jisoo dodged out of the way and thrust his umbrella into the man's stomach. The guard was stabbed all the way through. The guard stumbled to his side and collapsed against the wall. Blood began dripping out.
The security guard grabbed the umbrella and tried pulling it out, but he was too weak. The man tried speaking, but blood began flowing out of his mouth. His black shirt was now crimson red. "Who… who are you…?" the man spoke weakly.
Jisoo walked toward the man and looked down at him with an emotionless expression,
"An assassin."
Jisoo pulled out his umbrella, which was now covered and dripping blood. The guard reached out one hand, and suddenly Jisoo stabbed the man through his neck with the umbrella, finishing him.
"You have no right being so cocky when you're not even an assassin," Jisoo said. He then proceeded to leave the corpse there with the umbrella. As he walked toward the power switch, he flipped it off and all the lights went out.
Jisoo walked out of the power room and began looking around. Everyone was talking in confusion. The only light was the illumination from the moon outside, which was barely any. He began walking toward the VIP room, and only one guard was guarding it. The guard reached out his hand and signaled him to stop, "Do you have a VIP pass?" Jisoo continued walking, "The smell of alcohol pisses me off, I'll let off some steam."
Jisoo dashed toward the man and grabbed his face before slamming it into the wall, which shattered like a watermelon. Jisoo was also now covered in blood. He walked into the VIP room and looked around. A scream was heard across the entire club at the same time the power came back on. "They found the bodies, I should hurry."
Now that the lights were back on, Jisoo could see the two men and two women sitting on the couches. Bottles of alcohol were on the table, along with weed and all kinds of drugs. One of the men stood up with a smile and opened his arms as he walked toward Jisoo,
"A new person, come have fun with us." Jisoo smiled as he noticed a syringe on the table. He pointed at it. "Let me try that out."
One of the women chuckled as she grabbed the syringe and threw it at the man in front of Jisoo. "He's starting with the strong shit, he's about to be so fun…"
The man caught it safely and smiled as he reached it out to Jisoo, "You're wild, man, starting with this off the bat?" Jisoo chuckled as he grabbed it, "I know, I am wild."
Suddenly, the man was stabbed in the eye with the syringe, and everyone looked shocked—too shocked to speak. The man touched his face and then began screaming as he pulled out the syringe. He yelled, "YOU CRAZY BASTARD!"
Jisoo walked forward as the man stumbled. He grabbed him by the side of his head and stabbed into his remaining eye with his thumb. Before the man could even do anything, Jisoo slammed him to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere. The other guy ran toward Jisoo with a bottle in his hand. He screamed in fear.
The man raised the bottle into the air and swung it down. He missed—Jisoo had vanished, and so had the bottle. The two women screamed, and the man turned to look back and saw Jisoo standing in front of them with the bottle in his hand. He smiled,
"I'm wild, aren't I?"
The two of them nodded in fear, and suddenly Jisoo slammed the glass bottle on one of their heads, killing her instantly. Her body fell to the floor and the other woman looked before screaming and stumbling back against the wall. Jisoo looked down at the broken bottle in his hand before stabbing the woman in the face. The broken bottle went all the way through. Blood splattered on the wall behind her. He let go of the bottle and the body fell to the ground.
Jisoo turned around and dashed toward the last man, who was frozen in fear, his pants pissed. With all his remaining strength and willpower, the man screamed in fear. His corpse fell to the ground, but it was missing its head. Jisoo stood still, covered in blood, holding the head of the man in his right hand. He dropped it; it rolled as blood spilled out.
Suddenly, the door of the VIP room swung open. A guard ran in and shouted, "LEAVE, THERE WAS A MURDER!" The room was covered in blood and four corpses. Before the guard could even say anything, Jisoo punched him through the stomach. He pulled out his arm and let the guard fall to his knees. Jisoo, with a cold look, looked down at the man before raising his leg into the air and kicking down with all his might—another head became like a crushed watermelon.
Jisoo walked out of the room. The entire club was now empty. The noises of police sirens could be heard outside, and he sighed. "I let my emotions take control. I'm so stupid. I should hurry up and find this underground thing."
