I immediately changed into a T-shirt under my coat with jeans then took my keys and went to HAN-OVER. My mind is only filled with Lisander. His mysterious work and my curiosity to find out, so I don't ask others to accompany me and don't think about my safety.


It was only after I met Woo Jin who was waiting for me in front of HAN-OVER and then led me to a quiet and dark alley beside the bar that I felt a little nervous and occasionally glanced at Woo Jin. Is he setting me up? Is he lying? What if he harms me?


The deeper we got into the alley, I was getting scared but I couldn't turn and run. My mind sank so I didn't realize we had passed the alley and out to the wider area and Woo Jin stopped in front of a red double door.


"We have arrived. Don't worry," he said with a smile before knocking on the door 3 times and a small gap in the door opened, showed only someone's eye from behind it. Woo Jin said something and the gap closed without an answer. But not long after that, the double doors were opened by 2 well-built men.


"Come on," Woo Jin said, and once again I just thought about whether my decision was wise. My heart skipped a beat with fear and anxiety. Woo Jin seemed to be reading my expression because he grabbed my elbow and dragged me inside.


"Take it easy, Jennie. Come on," he said and I could only follow him. The two men who seemed to be the doorman gave me a cold and slightly eerie look. After entering into a large square room like a lobby with a door around it, Woo Jin led me straight into the double doors again in front of us. As soon as the door opened, a loud cheering sounded from within.


Behind the door was a large room with a cage similar to the UFC fighting area in the middle slightly below and around it was a bench that jutted up to where we were standing, so anyone in any row could see the fighting area clearly even though the person in front of them was probably standing.


The place is full of people screaming to the cage, or maybe the ring is better known, where two people are currently fighting.


Woo Jin grabbed my elbow again and led me down to one of the rows quite close to the ring where the empty seats are located. I looked at him in confusion.


"Wait after this fight is over," he said and I turned my gaze back to the ring as the people's screams got louder. I see why. One of the fighters fell and the attacker immediately beat him repeatedly even though the man was lying on the floor of the ring and blood splattered from his face. There was no one to stop him from making repeated attacks without care of the condition of his opponent's battered face.


I was even more horrified when the person lying there could not defend himself and just lay unconscious. But the assailant still carried out his attacks on his face, even though his blood had stained the ring. I looked around the ring but found no one other than the two of them. There is no referee! That person can die if no one stops him!


Woo Jin seemed to know what I was thinking because he leaned his face close to my ear and said in a slightly loud voice to overcome the crowd's cheers., "There are no rules in this fight. There is no referee. The battle ends when the opponent can't fight."
