Still not tired after walking almost the whole day, Jin goes along the road in the direction of what seems to be a house as fast as he can. Even though it's far away, in 30 minutes he's almost reached the house. Now he can see it more clearly. The road he is walking on doesn't go all the way to the house, but turns in another direction before the house is reached. The house is also not really a house, it's a big, luxurious looking mansion. The land around it looks like it also belongs to the mansion.
Jin decides to walk towards the mansion and go off of the road. He just wants to get help as soon as possible.
The mansion looks really big, someone that lives here must be rich. He also feels it's weird that a piece of land like this is in the middle of nowhere on a random mountain.
He slowly enters the land surrounding the mansion. There is a small but fancy fence around it, but the gate is open. Jin wonders whether he is allowed to go there, but since it's an emergency, he feels like he doesn't have another choice. He almost reaches the door of the mansion, when he remembers it's still very dark. It's probably in the middle of the night, or early morning. Would someone want to help him in the middle of the night? Actually, does anyone even live here? Normally he would guess it's just a resort for someone to spend a holiday, as it doesn't seem practical to live there the whole year.
Jin decides to look around a little more before deciding what to do. Looking around, he sees the gardens around the villa are well kept, and there is a vintage looking car next to the house. This gives him hope, someone might actually be home.
He doesn't want to think about it any longer, and walks back to the front door. There isn't a doorbell, but it has one of those heavy handles you knock with. So he knocks.
There is only silence. When after some time the door is still closed, he knocks again.
This time he can hear footsteps from within the house.
Soon the door opens. A beautiful, mysterious looking young man is standing inside. Jin doesn't immediately say anything, he just stares at the man. The man has long, black hair, tied up neatly. He's wearing a black button up shirt, that fits him perfectly, and a pair of black suit pants, He has a belt with a big green stone on it. His face looks very beautiful. His facial features aren't soft, but well defined. His eyes look golden and almost like they are glowing, they are the prettiest eyes Jin has ever seen. After staring at him for a few seconds, Jin takes a step back 'Ah...'.
'Ehm, I'm very sorry to bother you this late at night. I'm lost, and I can't remember how I got into this area. I lost everything I had on me, so I can't call for help.'
The expression of the man isn't very good. He looks shocked.
Given the state Jin is in, the way he looks, it shouldn't be very surprising. Jin quickly adds: 'The condition I'm in is like this since I fell down on the mountain earlier, please don't mind it, I'm not a dangerous person.'
The man blinks a few times, and his face is now a total poker face without emotion. 'Sorry, I can't help you. I don't normally let strangers into my house, and I don't know how to help.'
'Please! There are no other people around, and I've walked for the whole day. You don't have to let me inside, just make a call to the police, and... Well maybe they'll pick me up if you say I'm lost.'
The beautiful guy seems to think over some things and then replies. 'Alright. Come inside for now. It's late and I'm sure you're tired, so I'll let you stay the night.'
Jin has a questioning look in his eyes. Just a moment ago he didn't want to hlp him out at all, and now he's letting him stay the night? Wouldn't it be easier to just call someone? 'Sir, why are you letting me stay the night? You don't have to be so kind.'
'I'd feel guilty letting you freeze alone on this mountain, and as you said, the chance of finding anyone around here is very small. We can discuss further solutions in the morning, so for now just come inside before I change my mind. Also... well never mind.'
Jin doesn't want to question someone who's willing to help, so he quickly steps inside, afraid the man might really change his mind.
The man shows him the way inside. The first room Jin enters when he enters the house is a long hallway. The floor is wooden, but very well kept, it looks pretty new. There are big chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The man leads him further to the living room. 'Wait here for a second, I have to check something quickly.' With that he vanishes upstairs. Jin looks around, afraid to touch anything, since it's all so clean and expensive looking.
Even though he kind of expected the mansion to be old-fashioned, the interior, furniture and decorations look modern. The owner also doesn't look old-fashioned, but is a young man, who looks like he is in his twenties.
Soon he comes back. 'Alright, follow me upstairs. I have prepared a bath and some clean clothes, so first wash up. I suppose you're hungry, so come down to eat after that.
Jin wakes up with no memory of the past few days. He has nothing on him apart from his torn clothes, so he can't go anywhere.
All confused at a location he doesn't know, he decides to find civilization. Following a road he finds, he soon finds himself standing before a mansion. Not knowing what else to do, he asks the mysterious owner for help, and the mysterious young man decides to temporary take him in.
What happened to Jin? Why did the young man take him in? Soon Jin will find what he has forgotten and realize the danger he's is.
