In the dark street, where silence screams louder than any noise, the air is thicker than words, and the silence is more deadly than any scream.
The story begins in a dark street, darkness everywhere, with only a dim light coming from the lamp at the end of the street.
(Explanation: The area is lonely, far away from city noises. Only a few people live here, and they do not come out of their houses after 8.)
Screams can be heard from a small, old-looking shop. The shutter is down, but in pin-drop silence, these screams are terrifying. In this quiet area, something louder feels buried beneath the silence.
Inside that shop, the screams are getting louder. It… it… listen closely—
it's a man's scream.
Man: Lemme… lemme go. Please, please, I beg you—lemme go.
He's crawling backward, sweating badly
Scene explanation: The man is now on his knees, looking miserable. He's horrified, folding his hands together. Meanwhile, a tall man stands before him with a psychopathic grin on his face. His face isn't clearly visible in the darkness, but the anger in his eyes is. He looks like a wild animal who has been searching for its prey for years—and finally caught it.
Mystery Man: laughs Haha, so funny. Let you go? Never. I never caught you to let you go.
Man: Please… please, I'm begging you.
Mystery Man: Just like this, she was begging that day. But did you let her go?
The man suddenly realizes who this mystery man is.
Y… you?
Mystery Man: Yes, me. Shocking, Mr. Lee?
The mystery man grabs Lee's hair.
Lee: Please, lemme go. There's fear in his eyes—fear and regret.
Mystery Man: Alright, I'll let you go. You know, I'm a really soft-hearted person, so I'll let you go. Go ahead.
Mr. Lee turns to leave. He starts to run for his life. Suddenly, he's hit on the back of his head with an iron rod.
Mystery Man: laughs I'll set you free. Go to hell and enjoy your life before I come there to haunt you. I won't let you live peacefully—not even there.
Lee: folding his hands, he falls to the ground Pl… please. A broken whisper.
Mystery Man: sits in front of him You are a motherf*king bastard, you know that? laughs Fine—go. Run if you can.
He gets up and kicks Lee in the stomach. Blood spills from Lee's mouth. He lies there lifelessly. The mystery man turns to leave, but he notices Lee is still breathing. He lights up his cigarette and picks up his iron stick. The sound of the iron rod dragging across the floor is dangerous. Suddenly, he stops in front of Lee's face and starts smoking, tapping the iron rod against the floor. Just when Lee thinks he's safe because he's playing dead, the mystery man laughs and hits him on the face with the iron rod.
Mystery Man: Fucking asshole.
