Work Text:
It was a damn Friday.
A day before weekend, a day before he would be able to nuzzle his beloved bed and locked the damn door from a certain psychopath next door.
And his superiors clearly was made to piss him off.
Baek Saheon was dragged into a bar— wait, that sounded wrong. It was more like a place with games(?) Baek Saheon not sure. Don't even ask about the possibility of dragged into a Darkness right here. There's also a bar too– in which, his supervisors wanted to bring the squad to.
Fuck.
Was his alcohol tolerance that bad, or was this thing just something?!
He was just trying to avoid that psychopathic bastard who came here too, for fuck's sake. He was not interested in drinking anything if only this superior of his didn't asked– forced him to.
He could see from the corner of his eye, that crazy bastard staring at him like he's some weird specimen. Really, he should just get a job as a researcher and stop torturing him already. Those black, stupid hollow eyes, staring holes at him, so fucking hot—
No, wait. Stop right there, Baek Saheon.
He shakes his head, 'No no...'
"Hey hey, you all newbies should've played the games in here, right?!"
No, he haven't.
Still, the squad made a way to the billiard(?) part.
What the fuck is billiard even?
"Ah, yes Goat! Like that!"
Huh?
"You missed it this time, Goat-ssi. You need to try again..."
What...?
Bro looked up and damn bruh, a pair of green, floating wide eyes staring straight at him right in front of his face. His damn eyes– If only he didn't lose one. The wide smile, wider than any human possible, the skinny hand reaching out to his face. [The eyes basically like a goddamn snail design.]
Saheon was freezed– No. not because he was scared nor his reflex was slower by the fact he was drunk. Well, maybe that part was a bit right. But, it's also because something feel like chained him still.
Those skinny fingers traced his face, cheek, and stopped at his eyepatch. The bright smile falters, "...Oh?" It's finger move to lift up the eyepatch he was using.
"Why?"
"Why"
"Why why why why wh■ w■y ■□y ■□■ ■■■ ..."
He gulped, a finger rest right on his eyesocket. It can tear it apart whenever it wants.
"Goat, it's your turn. Come on!" The cheerful voice didn't even help.
"..."
"Oh?" The entity in front of him smiled again.
"Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh?"
The hand on his face retracted, pulling back and—
...
Plucked away its own left eye.
"Hehehe..."
Fuck—
"Goat! Your turn! Why won't you—"
"Saheon-ie, I will be back, okay?"
"Empl□■ee Baek ■■heon."
"Oh? Yeah. It was fun."
"Sa■□ ■■□ □□"
"■□■ Let□■□□ □■■"
"■■□■□"
...
No, sto—
"Hey."
A hand on his, and a body on top of him, the familiar scent of another soap in the dorm, "You need to move to win." The hands, slowly dragging his own hands to move the cue-stick and hit the ball.
The entity in front of him smiled, still smiled. While Kim Soleum on top of him shifted his body to aim and Tuk.
It was right in.
"Woah! Goat-ssi, you win!"
He finally able to move and fuck, those face clearly wasn't his supervisor's at all. He looked at certain someone still on top of him, whose body is trapping his.
"Hey, can't you move away?"
Those black, same hollow iris stared back at him. But drunk Baek Saheon basically have the guts of The Viper. But, the body trapping him, pressing against him, radiating warmth that seeps into him, was another thing. No, don't—
"I'm stuck."
"Huh?"
Kim Soleum got his assigned darkness for night time, because this certain darkness cannot be entered at daylight. It was located in a crowdy place, a place people would attend. The specific darkness he needs to enter was:
Qterw–C–1311
A C-grade darkness which survival rate was high with worrying rate of casualties. A billiard game that would torture your consciousness.
That's basically it.
He was a bit shocked seeing Baek Saheon was in the place too. There's no way they could be in a same darkness unless one was coincidental. Assigned together? Then there's bound to be a loser in this Darkness.
One who would suffer the most effect.
Who would guess that Baek Saheon got dragged first into this Darkness instead of him. Maybe that's the effect of being drunk.
Which made him placed as the 'Next Round Player.' at this place.
And let's just say, he can't move because the said 'Next Round Player.' interfered with the on-going game.
That's basically it.
