It was a beautiful morning.
Sung Kang got out of his bed to do some stretches.
The sun was shining; the birds were chirping.
It’s time for some breakfast.
Sung Kang made a Nutella sandwich and some freshly squeezed juice.
After breakfast, He then changed his clothes and grabbed his stuff for university.
He headed downstairs and went for the red front door.
“Huh? That’s weird… It should be open by now.”
Realizing the door was still locked, Sung Kang wondered why the front door wasn’t open yet.
It was 6:30 am, so the apartment doors should be open by now.
“Well, whatever the other doors should be open.”
The apartment complex that Sung Kang lives in is an old Japanese tower that was converted into an apartment.
Weirdly, the hexagon-shaped structure was the apartment’s unique design so it had 6 entrances and it was color-coded so that people won’t be confused by it.

The RED door was the front door, The GREEN door was the back door, The BLACK and BLUE double doors were the exits to the left, and the WHITE and YELLOW double doors were the exits to the right.
Currently, the red door was locked, so Sung Kang can just go to the other doors to see if they were open.
He tried to open the Black and blue double doors and surprisingly they were locked.
Then he tried the White and yellow doors next, and it was locked as well.
On his way to the last door which was the green door, and with a turn of the doorknob he was able to open it.
“Phew…If that was locked then I’m going to lose my shit. But thank goodness it was-what the fuck”
To Sung Kang’s shock, there was a densely packed forest outside the apartment complex, one cannot see any more buildings and high-rise establishments, only very large trees of unknown trees that have black trunks and red leaves.
“Am I in a movie set or something or did someone slip a roofie in my juice.”
The emotionless-faced Sung Kang was still not convinced of what he was seeing so he went closer to examine the trees and if they were real.
He went forward to the nearest tree and examined it,
The tree he looked at was very large and it may be at a towering height of 20 meters and that was just the tree nearest to him. More trees were bigger but they were farther in the perimeter of the apartment complex so Sung Kang was just content of his distance near the apartment.
As he was examining the tree, He broke a cold sweat.
He felt an ominous air as he was near the tree and smelt a foul odor near it.
It smelt like piss to him, so he only had 3 guesses of what could this be.
1. This was a marked territory and he was currently trespassing it.
2. Maybe this is just a dream, so maybe I just pissed my bed.
3. Maybe someone's piss smelt that bad, so it's alright.
Yup. It was A. It was a marked territory and Sung Kang stepped on the worst possible landmine ever.
He was already convinced that this place was no longer Seouljing city and he is being watched by the animals of this territory.
He is surrounded.
He is currently fucked.
