Summary
There is a literal gate. It’s wrought iron and rusty and, oddly, not attached to any kind of fence or wall. It looks as though one could simply walk around it, but when Wooyoung steps beyond the edge of the gate to get a clear look inside, all he sees is a park. A grassy field surrounded by trees, worn dirt trails, a couple of benches in shady spots. Meanwhile, through the bars of the gate is an entirely different picture.
A crumbling road winds through a graveyard of collapsing buildings. The sky is hazy, almost the color of sand. The ground is dry, with no hint of vegetation aside from a few withered bushes and tree trunks devoid of leaves.
The faint smell of fire and sulfur emanates from the other side, and there are figures moving about, floating through the streets. Some look almost human, but most of them are nothing more than shapeless, faint grey clouds. Wooyoung has been warned that these are souls, that if he wishes to return from this place he must not touch them.
He’s done his research. Wooyoung knows that he will not be allowed entrance without either some form of payment or a good enough reason, and he thinks his reason is good enough to avoid payment. You see, Wooyoung is cursed.
