Chapter Index

    This happened back when I lived with my family. The bathroom sink used to get clogged often.

    The reason is always

    Sigh-

    The rubber membrane is torn and hair comes out.

    Long, black hair keeps coming out of the faucet.

    There was a damp and fishy smell.

    “Avoid it quickly!”

    Seok Hyeon-min grabs Heo Yoon’s arm and throws her out of the bathroom.

    Heo Yoon fell to the floor, dripping water, and stepped back as if in a daze.

    “Well, what is that! Did you just see it moving?”

    “It moved?”

    “Yes! That thing is alive! I still see it now. It’s coming out!!!!!”

    Behind Seok Hyeon-min, who is keenly alert and trying to look inside the bathroom, Heo Yoon is screaming and struggling.

    “You have to leave now. You need to get out of the house quickly and avoid it!”

    “Just stay still! You have to see what that is!”

    “What did you say? You said you don’t do unnecessary experiments. It’s dangerous! Let’s go outside now!”

    “Sister, calm down.”

    If Heo Yoon, who always seemed confident, could become like that. How terrible have you seen?

    “Oppa…”

    Looking to the side, I see Daju Yoon swallowing dry saliva as if she’s nervous.

    Trying to remain rational as much as possible, I tapped Daju’s forearm.

    “First, let’s take any weapon. Bring it now.”

    “Yes.”

    Meanwhile, the hair had completely covered the bathroom floor.

    The fishy stench is getting worse and worse, and now it gives me a headache.

    “Hey Seok Hyeon-min! Right now is not the time to be looking there!”

    Choi Se-rim held tightly to the hand of Heo Yoon, who was now starting to cry.

    “Sister.”

    “No…you can’t stay here…”

    “Look straight into my eyes.”

    “Ah…uh…”

    “You can’t abandon the 7th floor. Besides, you know that once the broadcast airs, all other floors are the same.”

    “……”

    As Choi Se-rim makes direct eye contact and speaks, Heo Yoon slowly regains his senses.

    “Tell me what you saw. Slowly.”

    “……Hair. At first it was a corpse. It was white…it was squirming little by little…and its eyes were open…wow.”

    “Sister. It’s okay.”

    “But! But my eyes weren’t open. My eyelids swelled thick and wide and suddenly… hair suddenly appeared and I wrapped them around…”

    “How did you see that? Tell me how you saw that in front of the sink.”

    No answer came back.

    Heo Yoon, who stopped all movements for a moment, began to convulse again, shaking his head violently.

    “Now it’s trying to come out, the body is trying to come out of the water tank!!!!!!!!!!!”

    “Sister!”

    Heo Yoon and Seok Hyeon-min start banging their heads on the floor and shout urgently.

    “Hey. Hold me so I can’t move!”

    “Sister, don’t do this. Come to your senses!”

    Blood flows from a broken head.

    I ran and grabbed Heo Yoon’s arm, and Choi Se-rim tried her best to hold Heo Yoon’s head and hold it in place.

    Meanwhile, the hair continued to fall out.

    continue.

    Wriggling.

    I see Daju running across the living room.

    “Mister! First, take this!”

    I handed the paru in my hand to Seok Hyeon-min, and Da-ju immediately joined me.

    “Sister, come to your senses!”

    “Daju Yoon! Keep holding on!”

    Now that I have this body, Daju is stronger than me. Moreover, I have an injury on one of my hands.

    I left the job of catching Heo Yoon to Yoon Da-ju, and walked towards Seok Hyeon-min.

    The hair covering the floor takes the shape of a human body.

    Slippery sediment drips onto the floor.

    A clump of hair that slowly rises up its body. What appears at first glance inside is,

    The gaze looking this way.

    Eyes half open.

    The surrounding flesh is torn and swollen, exposing the dark red flesh holding the eyeball.

    “……”

    Seok Hyeon-min seemed to hesitate for a moment, but quickly made a decision.

    Bah!

    Quad deuk!

    The hair in the area where it was hit breaks off.

    It wasn’t just a bunch of hair, but it looked like there was solid flesh and bone inside.

    Pow!

    “Wow, gasp…”

    A disgusting liquid spreads across the floor.

    Gray-white mucus and dark red blood mix together to create a vein-shaped pattern.

    The black, smooth doll fell to the floor and slowly unraveled, piece by piece, back to its original state.

    “Sister! Are you okay?”

    Seok Hyeon-min quickly ran towards Heo Yun.

    Heo Yoon was lying with his head on Choi Se-rim’s lap with his eyes closed.

    “I just collapsed.”

    “What?”

    “I’m breathing. He probably passed out.”

    “Hu……”

    Seok Hyeon-min puts down his palu and takes a deep breath. Da-ju Yoon is holding Heo Yoon’s hand with a stern expression, and Serim Choi lowers her head and continues to check on Heo Yoon’s condition.

    I was the only one who went to look at the situation outside the hallway.

    I slightly opened the front door and looked outside.

    All I see is black. I can’t see anything. Is the light out?

    Shimmering.

    The horizon of the hallway shimmers.

    The wave continues from end to end of the hallway.

    A writhing black wave covers the entire hallway and is flowing toward the stairs.

    Then a moment.

    As if noticing the presence of someone looking in this direction, a wave raised its head.

    Crawl here quickly.

    Black, smooth hair changes direction like flowing water.

    bang!

    I reflexively closed the door.

    Sigh-!

    Shake!

    Shake!

    Thump thump thump!

    Heo Yoon suddenly wakes up and screams at the top of his lungs.

    “Ahhhh!”

    “Sister!”

    Again, I feel those gazes.

    Empty eyeballs are looking at me.

    I can’t see anything in front of me, but I am seeing.

    Keep watching.

    Thump thump thump thump!

    The knocking on the door gradually became louder.

    The sound of sloshing became in the background, like rocks on a beach being hit by waves.

    Thump thump thump!

    “Come to your senses!”

    Seok Hyun-min clings tightly to Heo Yoon and screams.

    I couldn’t do anything and just stared at the front door.

    Countless letters pass through my mind.

    Breath.

    Heart rate.

    Oxygen.

    choke.

    resentment.

    blood.

    Binding.

    paralysis.

    breath.

    Oxygen.

    body.

    Water tank.

    “Oppa. What should I do?”

    “……”

    “Oppa!!!”

    When I finally came to my senses, Da-ju Yoon was next to me.

    “……Let’s go out.”

    “Huh? How do I get out there!”

    “Through the window.”

    The hallways are full of hair, but the windows are still safe.

    Just go out there.

    Heo Yoon became quiet for now. Seok Hyeon-min asks a question.

    “Let’s go out the window? After that. Wouldn’t it be the same on other floors?”

    “Where is the water tank here?”

    “What?”

    “You have to go there.”

    I definitely saw the word water tank.

    I don’t know what to do, but it’s the only way.

    “On the rooftop. Just press the 13th floor in the elevator.”

    “Okay then. You have to go up to the window first and then take the elevator.”

    “What are you going to do by going to the water tank?”

    In an extreme situation, Seok Hyun-min raises his voice.

    “Water comes out through there. The hair coming out now is probably…”

    Coo!

    Due to the tremendous force, the front door slowly begins to dent. Now the bulge can be seen with the naked eye.

    “Okay. Let’s go to the window first.”

    Seok Hyun-min lifts up Heo Yoon, who has a blank face, and heads to the window.

    “I will go up first and throw the rope, so you guys grab the rope and climb up. Got it?”

    “Yes.”

    Seok Hyun-min balances precariously with his feet on the veranda railing. Fortunately, he catches the iron bars of the upstairs railing in one go.

    Next, I try to slowly pull my body up.

    Quang!

    The door could no longer hold and fell apart.

    Accompanied by a fishy stench, a black wave began to sweep through the house.

    “Mister! We have to do it quickly!”

    “Okay, so quickly close the window!”

    Da-joo closed and locked the window, and I, along with Choi Se-rim, took the luggage from the veranda and piled it up.

    “That’s it! Now just grab the rope and climb up!”

    If you let yourself hang on the rope for just a moment, Seok Hyun-min will grab you from above.

    First, Heo Yoon. Next is Daju.

    Only Choi Se-rim and I were left on the veranda.

    “Dabin. Go first.”

    ” Sister, go first.”

    “You’re lighter, right?”

    “They got caught because of me. I opened the door. So, sister, go first.”

    “Dabin.”

    I made eye contact with Choi Se-rim.

    Half-closed eyes. A relaxed expression. If you look straight at a face that even has a smile on it at first glance, it becomes impossible to resist.

    “Okay.”

    I grabbed the rope and climbed up.

    For a moment my feet stayed in the air,

    “Im Da-bin! Hold on tight!”

    I felt Seok Hyun-min pull his body up with all his strength.

    Now, the only one left downstairs is Choi Serim.

    “Sister…!”

    Daju Yoon looks down with her face turning white.

    “Go quickly. Let’s avoid everyone dying together.”

    “Hey, Choi Se-rim. Stop talking nonsense and come up. Quick!”

    Seok Hyeon-min shouted in a trembling voice, but everyone knew that it was already too late.

    The hair that came rushing in in an instant tightly held Choi Serim’s legs.

    Serim Choi is dragged beneath the black sea, as if falling into a swamp.

    For a moment, I felt like my mind had gone blank and I couldn’t come to my senses.

    It was because of the hair.

    “Let’s go, mister. You have to go to the elevator before taking the stairs.”

    “……”

    Everyone was at a loss for words. The one who led everyone was Da-ju Yoon.

    “You can solve it quickly by going to the water tank, right? It’s not too late. It’s not like it fell into the water, it’s just hair so there must be some breathing room. I think I would feel really bad if I went down there. Well, it’s just like throwing away clothes. eww. Thinking like this makes me feel very sorry for you. Even when I take my hair out under the sink, it gets so dirty. If you stay there for a long time, won’t it be so dirty that you’ll die? We need to get it out quickly. So…”

    “……”

    “So let’s go quickly!!!”

    “Yooni, come to your senses quickly!

    He’s thinking about the 8th floor. This is not a safe place to begin with.

    And Im Dabin!”

    I was momentarily startled and raised my head.

    This was the first time Daju called me by my name.

    “Oppa, stop crying and come to your senses.”

    “Uh…?”

    ” Let’s go!”

    Daju Yoon roughly grabs my hand.

    It seemed like he was taking the lead for a moment, but Seok Hyun-min appeared in the lead again.

    “Be careful. I will tell you the 8th floor information as I go, so listen.”

    Cross the living room and open the front door to find yourself on the 7th floor.

    The 8th floor comes into view.

    The background cannot be considered a residential area. When I look back, the front door is no longer visible.

    The good news is that there is no hair in the hallway yet. But with the hair coming up the stairs in clumps, it’s only a matter of time.

    There is only one way to survive.

    You must break through the 8th floor hallway within time and board the elevator.

    dark space.

    Seok Hyeon-min shined his flashlight forward and began his briefing in a heavy voice.

    Todog.

    Talk.

    Noise is heard intermittently.

    The sound of water drops falling.

    It was a rainy spring day.
