“I saw it.”

“I saw it over there.”

I suppressed the scream that escaped. Nothing has happened yet, so just keep moving quietly. gradually. slowly.

…done.

I passed through the entrance of the department store and entered the large space inside. Now, if you go into the nearby lounge…

Moment.

My breath stopped. I thought I had passed safely, but a pale-faced man appeared in front of me.

“Did you think you could pass by?”

“Did you think you could pass by?”

Ugh.

I clenched my teeth. There’s nothing we can do if we think of this as a ‘reaction’, but for now, this is the best. It only takes a few seconds for complex thoughts to fill your head. When I opened my eyes, a metallic afterimage was drawn in the air.

dump.

One more time. With a light hitting sound, the twins fell to the floor one after another. Park Seong-jin, standing holding a wooden spoon dripping with blood.

“What…did it happen?”

“No. It was a mistake. My hand went out reflexively.”

Black blood spreads on the floor of the department store. Flash. Flash. The light that was already pale started blinking. I want to leave this place, but my body can’t move. There is no movement in the collapsed body, but laughter is heard. Hilarious. Twins who move their bodies as if bouncing.

“I saw it.”

“I saw it.”

“Saw us.”

The numb voice is mixed with the sound of boiling bubbles.

“Jump.”

“Wait a minute.”

“There’s no time, so run!”

I barely caught Park Seong-jin, who looked like he was going to jump out at any moment.

“…You must not run.”

“Why?”

“Shhh.”

The department store looks bright, but the parts in the distance are dark and hard to see. A cackle of laughter is leaking from the abyss.

[3. Do not run or shout. Not only is it rude to other customers, but it can also unnecessarily irritate the stuffed animals.]

“Go over there slowly. Lower your voice. And tell me anything.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It has nothing to do with the current situation.”

The twins slowly approach behind me. Clap. Clap. I didn’t look back, but I could tell. Because I keep hearing voices.

“……Okay.”

Let’s just talk about anything.

“What did you do before you came here?”

“I was running an academy and it went bankrupt.”

“Academy? What kind of academy is it?”

“Math.”

“If it’s math…!”

As I was trying to speak naturally, my breath stopped. again. As if the distance had widened, the twins appeared before my eyes. Is it really teleportation? Conversation must not stop…! Fortunately, Park Seong-jin set the tone for a flowing conversation.

“What did you do?”

“I…a picture. I drew a cartoon. Yes.”

“It’s a webtoon these days, right?”

“Yes. Right, well…”

Conversation cannot be interrupted.

“Actually, I also failed. Maybe I’m not talented, but I haven’t been able to do it for years. People around me are slowly telling me to stop now. At first, I started because I liked it, but now that I’ve gotten to this point, I really like it. Maybe he just wanted to become a vaguely famous writer and gain popularity. I also think about it.”

“But you don’t have any debt.”

As I continued talking, I passed the twins. I start hearing footsteps again. I keep hearing laughter from behind. I had to stop talking often to force the saliva into my throat, which was stiff from tension. First of all, I don’t know what I’m talking about.

“Isn’t everything you get from your family a debt?”

“You are mature.”

“But I haven’t given up on painting yet.”

“Try some more. I don’t think I need to worry anymore, if I have 10 million in debt, I’ll give up then.”

If they wanted to, they could have rushed at them right away, but the twins just followed without saying a word. Then, when the distance becomes too much, it teleports right in front of you. Maybe that’s what I thought. There are parts of the rules regarding twins that are mentioned repeatedly.

– When you see the twins, act as if nothing has happened.

– If you reacted, try to forget about it as much as possible.

The point is that you need to focus on other topics. While chatting, we arrived at a rest area. A space provided for people who are tired from shopping to rest their legs. It’s not that grand, just a water purifier, a wooden bench, and a decorative bonsai. Seongjin Park sat down on the chair with a sigh.

“They said 5 minutes here.”

“Yes.”

“There was no need for classical music?”

“I kept thinking about it in my head.”

“You bastard. I want to live alone.”

“Mr. Take care of your own life.”

“Do you have any cigarettes?”

“No.”

It seems like this guy just has a habit of looking for cigarettes out of nowhere… Anyway, I think he successfully defeated them. But what were you chasing? I think there were definitely two of them. no. Were there two? Anyway, it was difficult so I lowered my head. Shoot, my eyes suddenly turn dark. I didn’t faint. The hair that had been crumpled inside the hood fell in front of my face.

“Ugh, this is so uncomfortable I’m dying!!!”

“Tie it up or cut it short.”

“Then you feel like you’ve become a real woman!”

“People must live according to the situation. If you are stubborn, you will be ruined even more.”

“Mr. Is this the same as the academy business?”

“I don’t have money, but I have a clue, you bastard.”

Sarah. Sarah. I picked up my head with my hands. This body. The fingers are also very thin. It looks like it will break if you hit it.

“Ha…”

Tie your hair. Should I ask something like this later? To Dajuna Choi Serim. If you think about it, both of them have a somewhat dark side, so it takes a toll on their mentality every time something like this happens. Daju gets so excited that he wants to die when I see him looking like a girl. Choi Se-rim was curious and wanted to ask some questions… Normally, she would have just searched the Internet. Smartphones are also popular. no. no. From the beginning, becoming a woman wasn’t the same as usual. Anyway, Hyeonta is coming. When you wash your hair, you don’t have to let it dry for several tens of minutes.

“5 minutes are up. Let’s go.”

“Wait a minute. Rest a little more.”

“Still taking more rest?”

“Yes.”

Is it because I suppressed something scary and held it in? My heart keeps pounding. This department store. I don’t know what it is, but if you deviate from the rules just a little bit, they will attack you as if to kill you, but if you go out like this, you won’t be able to make a proper decision.

“That’s right, mister.”

“Why.”

“Is there another weapon in your bag?”

“Take it.”

Park Seong-jin throws a paru in this direction. If this person throws something bloody like that, everything will splatter. He held out his hand and took the weapon.

“……Huh?”

A heavy weight felt momentarily. My fingers lose their strength without me having anything to do. I was this weak?

Tangrang!!!

Without any excuse, the iron rod that fell on the floor made a metallic sound.
