I Held the Empty Room and Was Left Behind
Opening scene
“So if they pull my number too, I can get down there?”
How it begins
Saedam is checking pipes in an abandoned building when Jusan rips the nameplate off Room 202—and Saedam plunges into floodwater in the basement. Here, whoever is in a room when its nameplate comes off gets pulled to the lowest empty room, and putting the plate back changes nothing. Haepil, injured upstairs, calls: "So if they pull my number too, I can get down there?" Saedam screams back, "Don't! It's flooding down here!" Then Saedam sees it: a steel door that won't open from inside, and a manual release wheel on the other side.
The rest, we'll show you once it's made.
Saedam took the deadly room to save a coworker—will that coworker come back and open the door?
Reactions help us decide what to make first. Production and release timing are not promised.
