“Sohee, can you still see that white thing at the end of your vision?”

I lowered my head and rolled my eyes as much as I could to look around, but I couldn’t see any white figures.

30 seconds… If I don’t see you after 30 seconds, is it okay to raise your head?

“Sohee?”

The hand that was holding Sohee’s head did not feel anything. He was clearly holding his head, but no matter how much he waved his hand, it only cut through the air and Sohee was nowhere to be found.

“Sohee, answer me when you’re next to me!”

Even though I called out loud, Sohee didn’t answer. When I became increasingly anxious and decided to go find Sohee, I heard strange footsteps in front of me.

Slurp, chin. Slurp, chin.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw pure white feet walking towards me. The being that walked as if it had no bones or muscles in its body, bending its ankles in a bizarre way rather than walking normally, never looked like a human being.

It certainly looked like an ordinary foot, but the way it swept the ground and moved like a mollusk gave the impression that only human skin was moving.

I quickly closed my eyes and covered them with my hands, but the strange movement I had just seen in my head did not go away.

I only looked at her feet, but the image of a woman with her whole body grotesquely contorted dancing, writhing around, kept coming to mind, and I felt like I was going to turn around…

‘Please, just disappear like this…’

1 min. According to the rules, if we just hold on for one minute, the monster will disappear, so let’s hold on somehow and find Sohee. And I wake up from my nightmare by finding Yui-senpai…

“Sihyeon… It’s me, Sohee…”

I heard Sohee’s voice calling me. I tried to get up right away out of joy, but I felt uncomfortable.

“Vision…Please open your eyes…Vision…”

The voice I heard right in front of me kept changing its location. From behind, from front, from the side…

“Why don’t you look at me…”

I felt the hand covering my eyes being grabbed and removed, and a hand trying to force open my tightly closed eyelids. Cold sweat ran down my chin as I felt that the situation had reached 2-2.

Realizing that there was no other way, I raised my head to the sky and opened my eyes. Please…I hope this method is the right decision…

“Your eyes are open?”

I definitely raised my head, but I was still looking down at the floor. why? Surely, surely you looked at the sky?

The white fingers that were caressing my eyes grabbed my cheek and slowly lifted my face.

“So, Sohee…”

In front of me, Sohee was standing, smiling grotesquely and bending her body at an unnatural angle.

dawdling, dawdling, dawdling, dawdling.

Sohee made eye contact with me and started moving her body like crazy. Her bones were broken, her internal organs were twisted, and she was bleeding like crazy, but she didn’t stop.

“Stop, Sohee!!”

When I got up to somehow stop her actions, I realized there was something behind her.

A strangely white entity, as if only that space had been painted pure white. Why didn’t I notice this existence right away?

The monster began to dance slowly, shaking its body.

The long flowing hair and large breasts indicated that it was a female body, but even the face was stained pure white, so it was impossible to tell more than that.

“Ahh…”

Until now, I had encountered many strange things and ghosts, but the being in front of me was so foreign and… scary.

A pure white being slowly began to approach me. I wanted to get out of this situation somehow, so I turned around, but I saw her behind me too.

Whether I looked ahead, to the side, or behind, she was everywhere.

I was surrounded by her and couldn’t move anymore. She tightly bound my despairing arms on both sides.

Her face right in front of me slowly started to crack. Her face, which had cracked like a broken mirror, eventually completely shattered, allowing us to see her true, hidden face.

Pure white eyes, pure white eyebrows, and pale, bloodless lips. It was clearly the face of a beautiful woman, but I felt a strong sense of strangeness, as if I was looking at a face that had been created.

She looked at me expressionlessly, without saying anything, and slowly began to laugh. From her smiling face, I could feel the heat towards me.

I want it.

In an instant, the world became dark. I was embarrassed because I couldn’t see anything, but it wasn’t long before I was able to regain light.

“…Huh?”

Before my eyes, I saw a headless man moving his body strangely.

The sound of bones being twisted was heard, but the headless man continued to move more roughly and perform a bizarre dance.

Familiar attire. The body I had seen my whole life… The man in front of me was myself, no matter how I thought about it.

I felt a kind and soft hand. She, who was hugging my neck, slowly caressed my face and lifted me up.

Moving forward, together.

She smiled happily. I laughed too.

“Sihyeon, are you okay!?”

As I looked around, I realized that I was still standing in front of room 208. When I looked to the side, I saw Sohee looking at me with a normal appearance.

“I was surprised that it suddenly stopped! …Grandpa!?”

I hugged Sohee tightly. I hugged her as tightly as I could, feeling and feeling with my whole body that she was truly there in front of me.

“, if you suddenly act like this, it’s in trouble! Grandma is also there…”

“I’m so glad…I’m so glad…”

“Why are you doing that!?”

“…I died like that?”

“Trust me. I’ve been through a similar situation before.”

I hugged Sohee for a while, and when she calmed down to some degree, I told her a memory from earlier.

I don’t know how I came back to room 208, but I was sure that being killed along with Sohee by the white being was not a dream or illusion.

“I believe it! In strange phenomena, such precognitive dream-like phenomena are extremely important!”

Fast! Anyway, I didn’t think it would be easy to accept the story that she was dead… but I’m glad that Sohee is a very flexible child.

“So, what should we do now?”

“Huh?”

“I knew that a monster that I couldn’t fight would come out when I left this building. So what should I do?”

…What should I do?

“I guess you didn’t see it that far. Don’t worry, I have a plan!”

“Plan?”

“No strange creatures have ever entered or been discovered in room 301. Let’s spend the night there! As time passes, monsters usually move to other places.”

“…Are you really okay?”

“Please trust me too! Even when being chased by a monster, if you enter room 301 of any building, it will stop chasing you and return. It’s a kind of safe zone!”

I feel uneasy about something, will I be okay…? Sohee, who stayed here for a year, may be right, but I have a bad feeling…

“Keuung, follow me!”

Sohee got angry and held my hand and started going up the stairs. Obviously, this is the only way, and there are no sharp means… Why do I not want to do it this way?

“This is room 301!”

Room 301, which he pointed triumphantly, seemed to have no problems on the outside.

“Room 301 is well equipped inside!”

When Sohee opened the door, the inside she saw was definitely different from Room 208. Wardrobe, TV, blankets on the floor, etc. It was a room that showed traces of human habitation.

“The blanket here is very soft! We have food so we can last for days!”

Seeing that Sohee went in without any problem and lay down on the blanket, my anxiety seemed to go away at least a little.

Sohee said the same thing, and when I checked it myself, there was no problem, so why was I so anxious?

“Come on, lie down! I want to hear your love story with your grandmother!”

She looked really cute as she patted the seat next to her and spoke brightly. Sohee, if you call me grandma in front of your sister later, you will be scolded so much.

I went and lay down next to her. The blanket was quite soft and fluffy… Judging by the fact that you can see the TV right away when you lie down, the original owner probably also lay down here.

” Sihyeon, where did you meet your grandmother? I only heard about my mother’s personality and how cute she was, but I never really heard the story!”

Somin, what did you really talk about… And you didn’t tell me about your sister, so is it okay for me to tell you about it?

“I know that my grandmother is a prince! Please tell me a story about your stay in a hanok!”

“Of course, you know that.”

Well, it’s impossible not to know that. If you didn’t know that in the first place, you wouldn’t even call me grandma.

“It’s not a particularly enjoyable story. Is it okay though?”

“It’s okay!”

“Then I’ll tell you. It’s going to be a bit of a long story.”

Lying down on the blanket, I told her about what happened with Sohye.

The story of how my older sister saved me from the kitchen, the story of how my older sister became a fetus… the story of my older sister changing and how I found her body and returned it to her.

The story is slightly different from the truth because I left out the dirty things that happened along the way, but it’s not that important. I can’t tell Sohee the truth…

“Indeed…you found my grandmother’s body.”

“Yes. I wanted Sohye to regain her freedom.”

“I think I know why my grandmother fell in love with it…”

“No matter how much you raise it, nothing comes out.”

Sohee and I looked at each other and laughed happily.

I’m in a dangerous situation, but is it okay to be relaxed like this now? This really seems like a place where monsters can’t come… but what was the anxiety I felt at first?

“Hehe, as expected, I like love stories. Because my job was a job, I lived with a wall built between me and dating.”

“Should this also be considered a love story…? Anyway, Sohee is pretty and resembles Sohye’s older sister, so if you want, you will be able to date her right away.”

“…Is that so?”

“It will be so. Because it’s really cute.”

Sohee covered her head with the blanket and made a groaning sound. Is it cold? This room isn’t particularly cold.

“I’m going to sleep now! Oh, if anything happens, please wake me up right away!”

I guess I was sleepy…this is a dream, but is it okay to sleep?

“This is already a dream. Can I sleep?”

“Did I tell you that I lasted a year? You can sleep even if it’s a dream! I didn’t have any nightmares or anything.”

What is the structure here? You can sleep even in a dream, people change, and if you die in a dream, you die in reality…

How did I come back to room 208? It would be good to know the conditions…

“Somehow, I have more questions.”

“I also have a lot of strange things and phenomena that I don’t know about yet, such as the white shape that Sihyeon saw…”

Sohee’s voice was gradually becoming quieter.

I didn’t show it, but was I really tired? I’m kind of sleepy too…

“Good night, Sohee.”

“Good night. Grandpa…”

Also, Grandpa… Well, there’s nothing you can do when you’re sleepy.

I woke up soon too – I have to find my senior quickly…

“…What is it?”

I woke up to a loud noise. I woke up a bit and rubbed my tired eyes and looked around to see that the TV was on.

“…Is the TV turning on?”

Is there even electricity here? Since it’s a dream, anything is possible… but anyway, I’ll have to turn off the TV first.

I slowly got up from my seat and checked on Sohee, who was lying next to me.

It was hard to see clearly because the room was dark, but I felt reassured by the sight of black hair and pretty hands peeking out from the blanket that covered me all the way.

The remote control was not visible, so I went close to the TV and pressed the power button, and the TV, which had been making black noise continuously, turned off without any problem.

I was surprised when it suddenly turned on, but luckily it wasn’t a big problem.

Well then, since Sohee is sleeping too, let’s sleep a little more.

The moment I lay down, the TV turned on again.

At this point, I got a little scared and ran over to turn off the TV, but the moment I turned around, the TV showed a screen full of noise again.

It might be a coincidence the first time, but if this happens… it’s definitely a strange phenomenon…

“Sohee, Sohee…wake up.”

While keeping a close eye on the TV, I placed my hand on the blanket to wake up Sohee, who was lying next to me.

And the hand dug into the blanket without any resistance.

I quickly lifted the blanket, but there was nothing inside. Neither the black hair nor the hands that I had clearly identified were visible.

Crackling ┉┉┉┉┉ Bleep ┉┉┉┉┉┉

With an ear-piercing sound, the TV screen began to change.

Numerous people suffering, a dense forest, a mysterious language that cannot be deciphered… A strange and frightening screen passed by, and the TV was showing a well.

After confirming the scene, which is so famous that anyone with even the slightest interest in the occult can’t miss it, I quickly ran to the door.

I grabbed the door handle and turned it, but it wouldn’t open.

Even though I kicked and pushed with all my might, the door wouldn’t budge.

I felt a chill behind me that felt like my body was freezing.

When I leaned against the door and slowly turned around, I saw a woman wearing a white dress and long hair crawling out of the well shown on the screen.

As I watched the woman slowly but surely approaching me – I could understand why this was a safe zone.

The reason other monsters can’t come here… Anyone can see that it’s because of that TV… Why, why didn’t they expect Sadako…
