Uijae clenched and opened his fists. The strength that had disappeared had now returned. That unfamiliar door that suddenly appeared in *Cha Uijae’s* memory… and the voice he had never heard in the memory, yet somehow recognized. Uijae wracked his brain. That beast-like growling voice...

*Cha Uijae.*

It was eerily similar to the voice he had heard at the very edge of the fragment Yun Gaeul had shown him. Lee Sayoung remained seated, unmoving, with that same eerie smile on his face. A smile so meticulously crafted, it sent chills down Uijae’s spine. Everything about him seemed inhuman.

First, I need to neutralize him. Uijae cracked his knuckles. Then, without warning—

*Bang!*

Uijae shot forward, kicking the chair out from under Sayoung, and grabbed him by the throat, pinning him down. *Thud*, Sayoung's head hit the floor. *Clatter, clatter...* The watch he had been holding slipped from his grasp and rolled away.

Though Uijae had him pinned to the floor, choking him, Sayoung didn’t resist. His smile remained unchanged. Uijae felt an overwhelming urge to cover that smug face.@@novelbin@@

Sayoung's lips moved.

"Don’t... bother. I wasn’t trying to start a fight."

The skin under Uijae’s palm was cold, but he could feel the faint pulse beneath it. He glanced sideways. Should I break his legs first? Nam Woojin could always fix them later...

Sayoung whispered.

"Whatever... it is, you should test it. It’s your last chance."

"......"

Sayoung carefully placed his hand over Uijae’s, the one choking him. It was cold. Uijae tightened his grip around Sayoung's neck.

"What do you want?"

"Oh, what I want...?"

The muscles in Sayoung's neck trembled slightly. He was laughing, a soft chuckle slipping out between small coughs. That laugh only grew louder, filling the room until it finally stopped after what felt like an eternity. Sayoung’s fingers brushed the back of Uijae’s hand.
