Beginning of The Story

ATEEZ were traveling on a long-distance bus. Everyone was exhausted, and eventually all eight members fell asleep.

The driver continued along the empty country road until an old sign appeared as the bus crossed the boundary.

When the members woke up, their appearances had completely changed. Their hair, eyes, scars, tattoos, piercings and clothing were unfamiliar. Even their personalities had become darker and more ruthless.

They stepped off the bus and entered Blackwood.

None of them remembered their old lives.

Meanwhile, You and five of her friends, Madison, Brianna, Chloe, Alexis and Samantha, were traveling on a school trip.

"How much longer?" Brianna complained.

"Probably another twenty minutes," Madison answered.

You looked through the window as the bus passed an old wooden sign.

WELCOME TO BLACKWOOD.

Nobody noticed anything unusual.

By late afternoon, the girls had settled into their accommodation and started exploring.

Across town stood an old butcher shop.

BLACKWOOD FAMILY BUTCHERS.

Inside, all eight members were working.

Hongjoong stood behind the counter, his pale grey eyes scanning the day's paperwork. Seonghwa organized supplies while Yunho and Mingi worked nearby.

Yeosang quietly cleaned his workstation.

Wooyoung leaned against the counter, looking bored, while Jongho prepared the next day's supplies.

San stood farther back, his animal mask covering his face and white bandages wrapped around both hands.

They all wore their dark butcher-inspired outfits.

Nobody outside knew what went on inside the shop.

And You and her friends had no idea what kind of town they had entered.

Blackwood was about to become their worst nightmare.
