Chapter 4 - The basement

"oh sweetie, that's ok. But it's so sad that a sweetie pie like you not paying attention to me." Said Kim to art.

"Huh," Art got confused.

"Babe," suddenly a sound came from the corner. When Art left his head he saw a cute young guy almost the same age as him. He was fully drunk and couldn't even stand on his own.

"Let's go, babe," said the figure dropping himself in the arms of Kim.

But Kim just rolled his eyes and said "I will meet you after I finish my business with him sweetie "Kim said to Art and left the sight.

"Who was that boy Uncle Chan?" asked Art with curiosity.

"That is not necessary for you to know." Uncle Chan replied in a calm voice.

"Sorry" Art apologies.

"Listen, Mr. Art, sometimes being a curious person might be dangerous so my advice is to stay quiet and do your work. You are like my son. So I request you to stay away from their matters." Uncle Chan explained to Art in a worried voice.

"Hmm," Art just nodded.

"Now let me show you your room." Uncle Chan said pointing in the direction of the room.

Uncle Chan looks like a good person. His aura does not give any negative feelings like Mr.Korn or Mr. Kim. Art thinks on their way to the room.

"Wow! Is this my room?" Art exclaimed because the room was so big. Art has never shown a room like this.

"Yes, Mr. Art" Uncle Chan replied.

"Uncle Chan you don't need to put Mr. every time. You just said I am like your son." Art said.

"But…" Uncle Chan hesitates.

"No, but. By the way uncle where is your room?" asked Art.

"My room is outside the mansion with the other two servants." Uncle Chan said.

"Huh, if every servant has room outside the mansion, why my room is here?" confused Art asked.

"Amm, that's because there are no more rooms there are only three rooms, and also Mr. does not need our help but if he needs something you are his servant so whenever he calls you need to come as fast as you can. So a room here will help you to serve the master faster." Uncle Chan replied.

"Oh, ok," said Art. It's strange, but it will help me in my investigation. Thought Art.

"OK, Art now get some rest. Your work will start tomorrow morning. Don't be late Mr.Korn gets angry if he does not get what he wants on time. Have a good night." Uncle Chan said and left the room.

Art goes straight to bed because he is so tired of walking all day in this big mansion. He took a bath, changed his clothes, and went straight to sleep. He was also bored because he did not have his phone to talk to Ohm. 

In the middle of the night, Art's sleep broke because of a scream. It seems a guy's voice is almost similar to the guy who was with Kim. So Art got up from his bed to check where the sound came from. He was also scared because he was afraid of ghosts so he put his blanket on. He slowly opened his room door to check. After walking through a long corridor he noticed that the sound was coming from the downstairs basement. He gathered some courage and about to go downstairs suddenly he felt someone's hand on his shoulder. He gulped his fear and turned to look behind but it was so dark and he screamed so loud without noticing who was there. Art was so scared that he hugged tightly the person from whom he got scared.

"What is happening here?" A man came from downstairs and asked.

"Korn, don't be so angry this little one is already so scared," said Kim.

Korn turns on the lights. After seeing some light Art came to his senses and tried to release himself from the strong arms of Kim.

"Easy dear," Kim said to Art.

"Sir, can you please release me?" Art said to Kim.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Korn shouted at Art.

Kim released Art and said," Dear, it's not good for you to wander in the middle of the night."

Art was so scared of Korn that he couldn't utter a word from his mouth.

"I... I heard someone's scream so I came to check." Art said keeping his head down to avoid eye contact with Korn.

"It will be better for you to stay in your room at night, otherwise…"Korn warns Art.

"But…" Art murmured.

"Now, go back to your room," Korn commanded.

"Yes, Sir" he hurriedly collected his thoughts and ran towards his room.

"You don't have to scare him like that. He's just a cute baby." Kim said to Korn and left the site.

Korn was still looking in the direction of the Arts room while thinking about something. After a few seconds, he shook his head and went back to the basement.

"There is something fishy about the basement I need to go there to find evidence against Korn and get out of this creepy place as soon as possible." Art said to himself.

Next Morning…

Art wakes up early so he can serve Korn. He took a bath and got ready for work. After getting ready Art went to the kitchen to see what work he needed to do. In the kitchen, an old lady was blending in a mixer something.

"Are you the new servant of Mr.Korn?" She asked without looking at Art.

"Yes, aunt. Can you tell me what I can do? "Asked Art moving forward to aunt.

"What is in this glass? Is this blood? "Art asked in shock and fear when he saw the glass of the liquid she just poured to serve.

"What? No, it's tomato juice. Have you never seen a glass of tomato juice?" Aunt replied.

"Well, this glass is for Mr.Korn. He always drinks Tomato juice in the morning." The aunt said again passing the glass to Art.

After grabbing the glass from her, Art headed to Korn's room. Since Korn's room was empty, he headed to the gym where Korn was exercising. 

Oh, why do all criminals have this kind of physique? I look really thin to him. I believe I ought to start consuming tomato juice. Art stands on the door and muses. 

Art gave a shake to his ideas and rapped on the door. Art said, "Sir, may I enter?"

"Your juice, sir." Art uttered. 

Juice was placed on the side table by Art. He turned to exit the room he had bugged out to a tall man named Kim.
