COME ON,

HALF THE STUFF THEY PUT ON METUBE IS FAKE!

A COLLEGE IN KANGWON PROVINCE

WHEN HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A BUG THIS BIG?

I DUNNO, IT LOOKS BIG ENOUGH TO BE HUMAN.

HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE? A HUMAN WITH INSECT WINGS, HAHA.

SO COOL AS IF

LIKE ONE OF THOSE MUTATED SUPERHEROES IN ACTION MOVIES.

YOU DON'T THINK THAT'S COOL?

SUCHAN?

WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT A PAIR OF BUG WINGS?

SUCHAN JANG (AGE 20) COLLEGE STUDENT

SOUNDS HELLA FREAKISH TO ME.

FORGET ABOUT THAT FOR A SEC.

SOME GIRLS WANTED TO GRAB A DRINK TONIGHT, IF YOU GUYS ARE DOWN.

AGAIN? THAT'S TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW!

GODDAMN ROMEO, HAHA

I'M STILL HUNGOVER

AND THEY'RE ONLY INTERESTED IN YOU, ANYWAY.

WELL, IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED...

NOW, NOW. WE NEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT, DID WE?

WE'D BE HONORED TO ESCORT YOU, SIR.

AS YOU CAN SEE...

...I'M A PRETTY POPULAR GUY IN COLLEGE.

I'VE GOT OVER 5000 STARGRAM FOLLOWERS,

AND MY GRADES ARE BASICALLY PERFECT.

SUCHAN, ♥ WE'RE HAVING A PARTY TONIGHT IF YOU WANT TO COME!

I'M INVITED TO ALL THE SCHOOL PARTIES AND SOCIAL EVENTS.

IN TERMS OF THE SOCIAL FOOD CHAIN...

...YOU COULD SAY THAT I AM THE REIGNING CHAMPION.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MIGHT BE THINKING...

...THAT IT'S A BIT IMMATURE TO DISCUSS SOMEONE'S POPULARITY EVEN IN COLLEGE.

BUT LIKE MOST ANIMALS, HUMANS ARE SOCIAL CREATURES.

WE LIVE IN GROUPS, IN THE WAY THAT LIONS GATHER IN PRIDES AND ANTS FORM COLONIES.

ALL SOCIETIES HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON.

THERE IS ALWAYS A HIERARCHY INVOLVED, IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER.

IN COLLEGE, THE MAJORITY OF THE STUDENTS WILL TEND TO FOLLOW AND ADMIRE A SELECT FEW.

I WOULD CONSIDER THESE FEW STUDENTS AS THE PREDATOR WITHIN THIS SOCIETY.

I'M PRIVILEGED TO ENJOY COLLEGE LIFE FROM THE TOP OF THE SOCIAL FOOD CHAIN...

...AND I WILL NEVER DO ANYTHING TO COMPROMISE IT.

SUCHAN...

ARE YOU SURE YOU SHOULD BE GETTING DRINKS WITH OTHER GIRLS?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

LOOK.

SUCHAN!

MIHUI...!!

ARE YOU ON YOUR WAY TO LUNCH?

WELL, ARE YOU ON YOUR WAY TO LUNCH?

DUDE, THEY'RE NOT OFFICIALLY DATING YET.

LUCKY BASTARD...

MIHUI, YOU WANNA GRAB A DRINK WITH US LATER?

SUCHAN IS COMING.

!!

SURE!! I'LL JOIN!

WAIT FOR ME, SUCHAN!

HAHA, I KNEW WE COULD COUNT ON YOU, MIHUI.

EEK!

WHAT THE...

WHAT'S WRONG, SUCHAN?

SORRY, GUYS...

I'M NOT FEELING THAT WELL, SO I'M GONNA HEAD HOME.

WHAT?! JUST LIKE THAT?

WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME.

THAT... WAS WEIRD.

SORRY... I WAS OUT UNTIL 5 AM DRINKING WITH THE WRESTLING MAJORS.

THERE'S A WRESTLING MAJOR AT OUR SCHOOL?

SUCHAN IS ACTING STRANGE...

WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO HIM?

SIGH

WRESTLING MAJOR? WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSHIT...

I'M REALLY SCRAPING THE BARREL FOR EXCUSES NOW.

THE TRUTH IS...

I HAVE A SECRET THAT I CAN NEVER REVEAL TO ANYONE.

I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THAT I'M NOT ANY DIFFERENT FROM THAT KID OVER THERE.

NOT THAT DIFFERENT AT ALL...

HE USED TO BE DIFFERENT WHEN THE SEMESTER STARTED.

THEY SAY HE USED TO BE PRETTY OUTGOING.

BUT WHY IS HE ALWAYS ALONE NOW, YOU ASK?

BECAUSE HE'S SURROUNDED BY HIS INFERIORITY COMPLEX.

PEOPLE FOUND OUT ABOUT HIS BIGGEST INSECURITY.

WHAT I HEARD WAS THAT HE HAD A FEW TOO MANY DRINKS AT A PARTY,

AND BROKE OUT IN HIVES FROM SOME KIND OF ALLERGIC REACTION TO THE ALCOHOL.

MAYBE IT WAS THE HUMILIATION, OR THE LOOKS OF DISGUST ON EVERYONE'S FACES, BUT HE JUST RAN OUT.

HE LOST ALL HIS SELF-CONFIDENCE AND ENDED UP KEEPING TO HIMSELF, APPARENTLY.

NOTHING SURPRISING ABOUT IT, REALLY.

EVERYONE HAS THINGS ABOUT THEMSELVES THEY DON'T WANT OTHERS TO SEE.

SHOWING THESE PRIVATE DETAILS TO OTHERS IS RISKY...

...BECAUSE IT'S BASICALLY REVEALING YOUR WEAKNESSES.

BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ME, RIGHT?

WHY BOTHER, WHEN I'M SO POPULAR AT SCHOOL?

WELL...

...THAT'S BECAUSE...

W H E W

...I HAVE MY OWN SET OF INSECURITIES.

WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT A PAIR OF BUG WINGS?

SOUNDS HELLA FREAKISH TO ME.

THERE'S NOTHING GREAT ABOUT IT.

THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.

FROM WHAT I CAN REMEMBER...

...IT ALL STARTED WITH A SINGLE DRAGONFLY.

BACK IN JUNIOR HIGH, I USED BUG SPRAY ON A DRAGONFLY THAT SNUCK INTO MY ROOM.

FOR SOME REASON, THE DRAGONFLY JUST INSTANTLY TURNED INTO DUST...

...AND I INHALED THAT DUST BY MISTAKE.

BLEK!

BLEK!

I PASSED OUT AFTER THROWING UP FOR A WHILE.

WHEN I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING...

...I HAD WINGS ON MY BACK.

WILL PEOPLE THINK I'M SOME KIND OF A MONSTER?

WHAT IF THEY TAKE ME AWAY AND DO EXPERIMENTS ON ME?

I WAS SO SCARED, I COULDN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT.

I DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO KEEP MY WINGS HIDDEN EVER SINCE.

I NEVER LET ANYONE GET TOO CLOSE.

KARAOKE? NO, I CAN'T...

I DIDN'T WANT TO RISK ANYONE FINDING OUT ABOUT MY WINGS.

MY LIFE AS A LONER WAS PRETTY MUCH SMOOTH SAILING FOR A WHILE.

NO ONE FOUND OUT ABOUT MY WINGS, AND I WAS ABLE TO FOCUS ON GETTING INTO COLLEGE.

BUT LIFE WAS STILL TOO HARD TO BEAR.

I WAS ALWAYS ALONE,

AND IT WAS EATING AWAY AT MY SOUL.

WHEN IT BECAME TIME FOR ME TO START COLLEGE...

DISCOU FOR GRADUA DISCOUNT MAKEOVER 40% CUT OR COLC 20%

HAIR SHOP BOOK AN APPOINTMEN

I WANTED TO CHANGE.

FIRST, I HAD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT MY WINGS.

IT SORT OF WORKS...

BUT IT FEELS A LITTLE SORE ALREADY...

WINGS ARE FOLDED UNDERNEATH

IT TURNED OUT TO BE PRETTY EASY TO FIX. ALL IT TOOK WAS SOME BANDAGES.

WITH THE WINGS TUCKED AWAY, I FELT CONFIDENT.

HEY.

LOOKS CONFIDENT

STYLED HAIR AND CLOTHES

FRIENDLY AND APPROACHABLE

OH, HI

I COULD BECOME ANYONE I WANTED TO BE.

"CONFIDENCE IS THE FIRST STEP TO SUCCESS," AS THEY SAY...

HEY...

...AND SOON ENOUGH...

...I WASN'T ALONE ANYMORE.

CAN I GET YOUR NUMBER...?

BUT STILL...

THE MOMENT THEY SEE THESE NASTY WINGS...

I CAN KISS THIS LIFE GOODBYE.

SIGH... JUST WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO HANG OUT WITH MIHUI,

THESE STUPID WINGS HAD TO START HURTING LIKE HELL...

THESE WINGS ARE ALWAYS GETTING IN MY WAY.

LIKE THEY'RE TRYING TO REMIND ME THAT THEY'RE A PART OF ME,

AND THAT I NEED TO LET THEM BE.

I GUESS I HAVEN'T STRETCHED THEM FOR A WHILE...

IF I DON'T SPREAD THEM OFTEN ENOUGH, THE PAIN IN MY BACK BECOMES UNBEARABLE.

THAT'S WHY I HAD TO GET AWAY SO SUDDENLY.

I CAN'T LET ANYONE FIND OUT ABOUT THESE WINGS...

...ESPECIALLY NOT MIHUI.

W H H A A A T

?!

K Y A A A H

WHY AREN'T YOU WEARING ANY PANTS?!

BUT I AM WEARING PANTS!!

WAIT...

THEN MAYBE SHE DIDN'T SEE THE WINGS?

MIHUI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN--

NO, HOW DID YOU GET INSIDE?

WELL, THE DOOR WAS LEFT OPEN...

THE BOYS SAID WE SHOULD DRINK AT YOUR PLACE,

SO THEY GAVE ME THE ADDRESS AND SAID I SHOULD JUST MEET THEM HERE.

THOSE LITTLE BASTARDS...!

SUCHAN.

DID YOU REALLY LEAVE BECAUSE YOU FELT SICK?

IT'S NOT JUST TODAY... YOU JUST UP AND LEAVE HALF THE TIME.

SOMETIMES YOU ACTUALLY LOOK SICK AND IT WORRIES ME.

SO, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME?

NO...

NO, I CAN'T REALLY THINK OF ANYTHING LIKE THAT...

SUCHAN.

LET'S LEAVE.

HUH?

YOU'RE GONNA GO WATCH A MOVIE WITH ME TODAY,

AND I'M GONNA WAIT RIGHT HERE UNTIL YOU COME OUT.

B-BUT...

I TOLD YOU, I'M SICK!

I KNOW YOU'RE LYING.

?!

I CAN TELL WHEN YOU'RE JUST PRETENDING THAT YOU'RE SICK.

I CAN TELL WHEN YOU'RE ALL STRESSED OUT AND TRYING NOT TO SHOW IT.

AND I CAN TELL THAT YOU'RE HIDING SOMETHING.

BUT YOU WON'T TELL ME ANYTHING...

...AND IT MAKES ME FEEL SAD AND A LITTLE HURT.

REMEMBER BACK WHEN YOU SAVED ME AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR?

FROM THAT GUY WHO WOULDN'T STOP HITTING ON ME.

HI, I'M MIHUI'S BF. NOW FUCK OFF.

GODDAMN PRETTY BOY.

Y-YEAH, I REMEMBER.

I KNEW YOU WERE JUST TRYING TO HIT ON ME TOO...

...AND IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING...

...AND IT REALLY WASN'T ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

BUT STILL... I WAS SO GLAD.

SO, IF YOU'RE STILL AS INTERESTED IN ME AS YOU WERE THAT DAY...

...I WANT TO BUTT INTO YOUR LIFE LIKE YOU DID TO MINE.

IF YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU NEED SOMEONE TO HELP...

...I HOPE THAT YOU COULD LEARN TO SHARE THE LOAD WITH ME.

THANK YOU, MIHUI...

BUT NOT THIS.

HOW ABOUT THAT MOVIE?

I CAN NEVER SHARE THIS SECRET WITH YOU.

IT'S NOT EASY...

ONE WAY

...BUT IT'S PROBABLY THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

I SMELL PREY...

ML ASSETS

HI THERE!

WE'RE JUST TWO NORMAL COLLEGE STUDENTS WORKING ON A SCHOOL PROJECT,

AND I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD ASK YOU TO FILL OUT A SHORT SURVEY FOR US!

WHAT KIND OF SURVEY?

MIHUI, THE MOVIE IS STARTING SOON... AND THEY COULD BE FROM A CULT FOR ALL WE KNOW...

SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO SAY NO...

...AND SHE'S JUST SO NICE.

LOOK! THEY GAVE ME A LOLLIPOP!

I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER...

CGV

NGSONG

WHAT IF...

EEK!

WHAT IF MIHUI AND I REALLY STARTED DATING?

GOSH,

I SHOULD GO AND WASH THIS OUT...

THEN SOME DAY DOWN THE LINE...

...WOULDN'T I HAVE TO TELL HER THE TRUTH?

AND IF SHE WERE TO SEE ME IN MY TRUE FORM...

...ISN'T THERE A SMALL POSSIBILITY THAT MIHUI WOULD STILL TREAT ME THE SAME?

NO. THAT'S JUST TOO RISKY.

I CAN'T. HOW COULD I EVER SHOW ANYONE THE MONSTER I'VE BECOME?

MAYBE...

MAYBE EVERYTHING IS BETTER THE WAY IT IS NOW.

HUH?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHY DID ALL THE LIGHTS GO OFF?

WILL THEY GIVE US REFUNDS?

IS THIS A BLACKOUT?

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF SUCH A CRUCIAL SCENE!

P-PLEASE, EVACUATE!!

EVERYONE SHOULD HURRY OUTSIDE IMMEDIATELY!

THERE'S AN ARMED MAN INSIDE THE BUILDING...

WHAT IS HE SAYING?

IS THIS A STUNT?

HE HAS SOME KIND OF GIANT WEAPON!

THIS IS NOT SOME KIND OF STUNT!!

PLEASE, HURRY OUT THROUGH THE FRONT EXITS RIGHT...

...NOW--

AH...

AHK...

P-PLEASE... HELP...

AAHHHHHH!!

HE'S GONNA KILL US ALL!

W-WHAT'S HAPPENING?

IS THIS... REALLY HAPPENING?

DID A PERSON JUST DIE RIGHT NOW?

SHIT...

I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE...

BUT MIHUI...

AH, FOUND IT.

PREY.

!!

THIS...

THIS CAN'T BE REAL...

YOUR HANDS...

WHAT THE FUCK?

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

WHAT...

WHAT KIND OF MONSTER IS THIS?!

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'VE JUST SEEN A GHOST.

HAVEN'T MET AN INSECT HUMAN LIKE YOURSELF YET?

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO USED IT, THAT GODDAMN BUG SPRAY.

THAT JUNGLE JUICE.

JUNGLE JUICE...?

HE CAN'T BE TALKING ABOUT...

ONCE I TURNED INTO THIS THING AFTER USING THAT SPRAY...

...I DEVELOPED A SPECIAL KNACK FOR CERTAIN SMELLS.

THIS SWEET, DELICIOUS SCENT...

IT DRIVES US CARNIVOROUS INSECTS MAD WITH HUNGER.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW SWEET BUGS TASTE TO A FELLOW BUG LIKE ME?

ABSOLUTELY...

...MOUTHWATERING!!

SUCHAN!!

MIHUI...?!

I CAME OUT OF THE BATHROOM,

AND THEY TOLD EVERYONE TO EVACUATE...

...BUT I COULDN'T FIND YOU ANYWHERE.

FOOLISH LITTLE BITCH.

NO ONE INTERRUPTS MY PRECIOUS MEALTIME!

RUN!!

GET OUT OF HERE, MIHUI!!

HURRY...

NO, MISS. NO ONE CAN ENTER.

HEARTH PHARMACY

BUT I SAW PEOPLE STILL TRAPPED INSIDE!

IF YOU OFFICERS WON'T GO INSIDE, THEN LET ME GO AND HELP--

LOOK! UP THERE!!

A PERSON JUST...!!

KYAAHHHH! OH NO!!

SO LONG, WORTHLESS PIECE OF HUMAN MEAT.

MIHUI!!

OH, NO...!! NO, NO, NO!! SHE'LL DIE!!

WHAT DO I DO? SHOULD I FLY DOWN AND SAVE HER?!

BUT I'VE NEVER TRIED FLYING BEFORE...

AND WORST OF ALL...

IF I WERE TO OPEN MY WINGS RIGHT NOW,

WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE...

I.

MY LIFE WOULD BE...

I'M SO SORRY, MIHUI...

I JUST CAN'T...

WHA...

LOOK...!

WHAT?!

A A A H H

H H H

GOTCHA!

HAHAHAHA!!

THAT IDIOT!!

EVEN AN INSECT HUMAN CAN'T SURVIVE A FALL FROM THIS HIGH!!

THIS IS WHAT YOU MADE ME CHASE YOU AROUND FOR?!

SO THAT YOU COULD KILL YOURSELVES TOGETHER?!

EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE.

I COULD LOSE EVERYTHING I HAVE IN MY LIFE.

BUT...

SO, IF YOU'RE STILL AS INTERESTED IN ME AS YOU WERE THAT DAY...

...I WANT TO BUTT INTO YOUR LIFE LIKE YOU DID TO MINE.

THIS MUST BE...

...THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

W-WHAT?!

EVERYONE HAS SECRETS.

THINGS THEY DON'T WANT OTHERS TO SEE.

SHOWING THESE PRIVATE DETAILS TO OTHERS IS RISKY...

IT MEANS REVEALING YOUR WEAKNESSES...

...TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.

THIS IS THE STORY OF A CERTAIN COLLEGE STUDENT...

...WHO BECOMES PREY IN THE VICIOUS WORLD OF A CONCRETE JUNGLE.

THIS IS HIS DESPERATE FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL.

HE PULLED HIS WINGS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY...

INCREDIBLE.

WELL?

WHAT DO WE DO WITH HIM?

TEAM UP AND ATTACK?

NO, SOMETHING BETTER.

WE SHOULD TAKE HIM WITH US...

...BACK TO OUR SCHOOL.
