Chapter 10
It was a silent, snowy night. Under the glow of the streetlights, white snowflakes drifted soundlessly, dusting the pavement in a layer of pale white.
A young boy in his late twenties stood beneath one of those lights, his breath hitching in the cold air as he spoke into a phone. He wore a heavy green hoodie and joggers, blending into the winter scene. Despite his casual appearance, there was an intensity in his gaze. His eyes moved rhythmically, watching the movement of the street with focused precision.
The snow continued to fall, clinging to his spiky green hair like tiny diamonds. He stood tall, the fabric of his green hoodie damp from the flurries, looking almost like a misplaced statue against the winter backdrop. With his small mouth set in a thin line and his sharp, pointy nose slightly red from the cold, he looked remarkably innocent—a boyish figure lost in the quiet beauty of the night.
But as his gray eyes scanned the people walking to and fro, the warmth left his expression. There was a cold, predatory calculation in that stare that made the casual joggers he wore feel more like a disguise than comfort.
"We are breaking up today," he said into the phone, his voice flat and devoid of emotion.
On the other end, a voice crackled with sharp, possessive delight. "That's good," the unknown caller replied. "I don't want that idiot to be around my man!"
He didn't smile. He simply watched a couple walk past him, his gray gaze lingering a second too long on their retreating backs, a hidden danger vibrating beneath his calm exterior.
" I also arranged a breakup surprise for her. Trust me,she will be traumatized after that"
Cha-Woo said smirking.
"Hmm.. that's wild. Traumatizing her...well,it is you,do your thing. I don't care. All I want is that she should stay away from the BVS kings and any other boy. She is all mine. Understood?"
"Yes."
" I will send you the balance once you're done. Good luck".
The person at the other line hanged up and Cha-Woo chuckled darkly.
" You're wrong. She is mine to toy with".
He said laughed " I will kill if you also cross the line".
He muttered and put his phone into his jogger pocket and started walking away.
*********
Lucy walked out of the house dressed in a simple cotton black and white short dress with a black thick leggings and white flat shoe. She parked her hair in ponytail and a black shoulder bag hanging in her shoulder.
She did some magic with pink lipgloss and mascara her lashes. She look so pretty cute.
She smiled.
But beneath the smile,she is troubled and scared at the same time.
Sighing,she began her journey to the amusement Park.
******
Meanwhile,at the mansion,the BVS kings were already in their disguise.
All dressed in hoodies and joggers with their almost - Old sneakers.
Their looks are different from the usual.
They look poor.
But not that poor.
They all have their headset wrapped around their neck and their hands on their rolling suitcases.
They walked out of the mansion, looking as if they were been chased out of their house by an angry landlady.
They walked into the street, ignoring everyone stares. Mostly the girls for even looking poor, their handsomeness refused to be hidden. Girls drooled over them.
As they got to the park,Seo-Joon started complaining of hunger so, instead of going straight to Lucy's house they branched the amusement Park to buy Seo Joon some night snacks.
Lucy at the other hand was standing in front of a cake store when her phone rang.
She picked up immediately seeing the caller ID.
*Hello?"
She answers with her tiny voice.
" Lucy,where are you?"
Cha-Woo asked through the phone.
"I'm at the cake store. In the park."
She answered looking around to see if Cha Woo is at sight.
" Come to the clown house "
" Clown house?" She asked,her voice changing " but ... wasn't the clown house closed after -"
" Are you coming over or not?"
Cha-Woo snapped sounding upset.
Lucy stayed quiet for a while before answering " I'm coming ".
She said and hanged up.
She sucked in a shaking intake of air and exhaled slowly.
Something felt off.
About this meeting.
She sighed again,this time loud.
Putting her phone in her bag,she head to the clown house.
But her handkerchief fell off unknown to her.
Just as she left,few moment later,the BVS kings arrived at the same spot,the cake store.
As they were buying a cake for Seo Joon, Lee Dae saw the handkerchief on the ground.
He picked it up and sniffed it then his brows shot up.
" Lucy was here."
He announced and the two other boys turned to give him a "is everything okay with you?" Look.
Lee Dae ignored them and brought out his new and phone and scroll up and down until he found what he was looking for. He showed Lucy picture to the cake seller
" Did this girl happen to buy cake from you earlier?"
The cake seller looked at the picture of Lucy been displayed on the phone. She recognized Lucy immediately, nodding her head.
" She was her. But she left few minutes ago."
She answered and Lee Dae put his phone inside his pocket, smiling.
"I told you she was her. You didn't believe me".
He said frowning at Seo Joon and Kim Jo and they smiled at him.
" So,where did she go?"
Seo Joon asked looking around hoping to find Lucy but he didn't see her.
Lee Dae turned back to the woman, smiling.
" Do you by any chance know where she headed?"
" She was on a phone call with someone but I didn't listen. But,I hears she mentioned Something like.....ummm.. Clown house."
The woman said as she wrapped a cake for Seo Joon and gave it to him. Kim Jo made the payment and they all thanked the woman and started walking away for the store.
" So,where are we all heading to?"
Kim Jo asked as they walked.
* The clown house of course! I heard it was closed a month ago after a murder scene!"
Seo Joon answered looking scared and worried.
" Guys let's hurry. Lucy might be in danger "
And just has Lee Dae finished his sentence,a loud female scream echoes and they all stopped at once.
Seo Joon worried face change slowly as the voice screamed again.
Lee Dae and Seo Joon face expression changed after recognizing the voice.
They teased and panicked.
" That....that is Lucy voice!" Seo Joon shouted in fear and they ran off to the direction where the screaming voice came from.
