âletâs go. i canât wait to hear a bat screeching for help!â a glint of cheekiness sparkles in brown eyes; the moment they are actually inside the house and any light has been replaced by utter darkness, goosebumps already start to crawl up her skin. sheâs just glad sheâs still holding onto his arm.Â
   she gets to make fun of his dark, jet black obsidian clothings all day long and atlas wouldn't fire anything back at the girl, getting the impression that it's one of her rights just as she claimed: he wears nothing else but the color of darkness. sometimes white, but it always comes with a black coat worn outside. consequently, the male nods his head in defeat instead of defending his fashion sense, jaded of her comments.Â
he isn't a fan of video games, his childhood was spent on comic books and superhero movie marathons, if it counts. the guy looks her up and down, gaze following the path of invisible connected dots on her body; if someone walks by and sees the way atlas stares at her as though he wanted to devour her right now, they would think that he's a pervert when in reality, guyâs just trying to make out what kind of video game character she is. ânot necessary at all,â for the male to educate himself, he squints behind the mask. âi think i've got enough fantasies, i don't need my final one to be about an unattractive sexy hiker than can kick me in the face.âÂ
of course she's attractive. what's he, blind? in the end, he gives up on guessing her character. all he needs to know is that this hiker girl she's cosplaying as seems... appetizing, thanks to the sophomoreâs successful cosplay. he's a man with an excellent taste, after all, but atlas follows his own code: say no to gyeon miyoung. yet here he stands, ironically, letting her cling onto his arm and says yes to heading inside hell disguised as hades' playhouse on earth with the hwaseong. he challenged her first, remember?Â
truth to be told, he isn't at all comfortable with them being side-by-side like an inseparable pair of twins since deep down, one extremely microscopic fraction of him still yearns for her touch though his mind quickly turns foggy once they're swallowed by complete blackness. him screeching for help? "he who laughs today may weep tomorrow.â an implicitly he aims at miyoung, voice remains monotonous. seems like he's still able to keep his cool up until this point ( it's literally been 10 seconds ) but each step he takes is steady and cautious, taking into consideration that if he falls, so does miyoung.Â
he turns to look at her in the darkness. sometimes, fake lightning flashes as part of the tour's effect â the only chance for him to inspect her features. âjust so you know, there's no going back now.â not that he's a scaredy cat, he's never been, but he knows the future isn't promising for both of them. hence, atlas assures the girl one last time before crossing paths with their first obstacle.Â
