"Are-are you going to kill us?" I choked. My vision was really coming true, then. There was no way to stop it. Even though I tried to change it, even though I tried to avoid it, we were all fated to die.
I couldn't help but feel angry that the others and Ha-nuel had tagged along. Now they had to die.
He let out a menacing laugh. "I wouldn't just kill you, if that's what you're worried about. What's the fun in that? I'll make you suffer, and you'll wish you were never born. Why did you think I didn't kill you when I could have killed you so easily?" He smirked.
"Because... suffering is worse than death itself," He spat, slowly slitting a thin line across my neck.
I shut my eyes tight, feeling the pain intensify as he pushed the knife deeper into my neck.
"Stop it!! STOP IT!" I heard Min-ah scream desperately, tugging on her chains.
"Oh?" The Higher Up smirked. "Looks like you want to suffer first," He said, making his way to Min-ah.
My eyes widened. "No. No! No, please. Don't hurt her. Just cut me, anything, just don't hurt her!!" I begged.
"No, Seung Gi!" Min-ah shook desperately.
"Why are you doing this to us?!" Jong-suk screeched. "What did we ever do to you!"

Jong-suk's eyes widened. "I'm sure you've mistaken. Surely I'm not the one you're targeting, right? I-I haven't done anything," He stammered.
"Oh, you're denying, right now?" The Higher Up grimaced. He slit thin lines from Jong-suk's wrist, up to his shoulder. Then he pulled up Jong-suk's shirt, slitting across his abdomen. Jong-suk shut his eyes tight, trying to fight the pain.
The Higher Up smirked. "Pain? I'm not even started!" He chuckled. "Oh, it's so good to see you suffer this way. Since you can heal fast, that's an advantage. I can make you suffer as many times as I want without you dying!"
Jong-suk shook his head wildly. "P-please. I beg you!"
"You stupid werewolves.. deserve to suffer," He spat. "All these years, I could only live in pain and agony, and it's all because of you! You were the ones who manipulated the humans to turn against us, and even experiment on us! I want you to suffer the way my d
