You struggle against his grip, working to free yourself but it was no use, he had you cornered with both hands holding your body down. His smirk never leaves his face as he stares down at your distressed expression. He chuckles, as if mocking you, "Darling, you really think you can escape that easily? I thought you were supposed to be smart."

You realised in this moment, that this man in front of you was in no way the brother that you used to know. His tone, expression, body language and even physique had changed, he was not Ji-Hyun at all, only seemed to look like him. You raise an eyebrow, ceasing your struggle before mumbling out, "Who-Who are you?"

The man chuckles darkly, licking his lips before taking his mask off and throwing it to the ground. It looked like Ji-Hyun, but it wasn't. You knew it wasn't. The man smirks, "I must say your brother did put up more of a fight than I expected him to. Well, I don't blame him, I'd probably do the same if a demon tried to possess my body."

Your body falls limp, knees weakening and eyes widening at the same time, the only thing holding you up being the man's grip on you. Your lip quivers and you feel your throat close up. Finally, you manage to let out, "What-What did you do with him?"

He laughs hard, eyes shutting close and head falling backwards. He looked like he found your question absolutely hilarious. After a few seconds, he brings his head back, wiping his tears and chuckling before speaking, "God, you turned out to be really stupid. He's dead."

The man smiles, "I killed him!" He erupts in laughter.

You finally feel tears well up in your eyes, knees becoming weaker than before. You couldn't help it, just the image of this demon killing your brother made you feel like wanting to kill yourself. Your lip quivers, eyes shutting for a second as the first tear falls. The man stops laughing, eyeing you down before stepping back, his face serious all over again.

"And now..." He says, before lifting up his hand and snapping his fingers, causing his eyes to become all black again. He smirks, "...I'm going to kill you too."

Your eyes widen, but your feet were still glued to the ground. You take a deep breath before composing yourself, and channeling all your anger and sadness into the demon in front of you. The one who killed your brother. You wipe your tears, looking up and clenching your jaw at the smirking demon before chuckling, "Killing me is not that easy. I'm not my brother."

He chuckles as well, eyeing your furious face before mumbling, "Oh really? Well then I guess we'll have to see about that."

And that's when he lunges at you. You see the attack coming and immediately move away from the wall, running away from the mad creature. He smiles evilly, seeing you run away before laughing like a psychopath and chasing after you. You see him following and smirk to yourself, gears in your mind already turning as you thought of a way to get this creature off your tail. You approach an intersection and swing right, moving into another corridor. You stop, swearing to yourself when seeing a dead end with only a window there.

"Where's little damsel in distress gonna run to now?" He says, stopping a good few feet away from you. You turn around, staring into his black eyes, fists clenching. He chuckles, taking a few steps closer to you as you take a few steps back.

You slowly reach into the inside of your dress, pulling out your gun and loading it before pointing it at the demon. He laughs as if making fun of your threatening stance before speaking, "You really think you can kill me that easily?"

You grit your teeth, tightening your grip on your gun before gulping. He takes another step closer to you and that's when you pull the trigger.

The bullet lodges deep into his shoulder and he takes a step back out of surprise, eyes widening when he lifted his hand up and felt blood. He looks up at you, confused before mumbling, "How-How am I bleeding?"

You smirk to yourself before mumbling, "I'm guessing you haven't ever been injured since obtaining my brother's body," His eyebrows furrow and he grips his shoulder in pain. You continue, "You may not be human but your body is. You can get injured and even die. Who's the damsel in distress now?"

He grits his teeth, breathing getting heavier and heavier before feeling his own knees start to wobble. You take note of this, but no matter how injured he was, you couldn't escape from this hallway without getting him to move first, and there was no way you were gonna touch him. You tilt your head, peering outside the window behind you and seeing the same fountain which you saw when coming. It was pretty deep, considering it belonged to a rich person.

You sigh before looking back at the creature and shouting "See ya."

And then you turn around, kicking the window so that the glass shatters to pieces before jumping out of it.
