“Let’s go out. I’ll explain as I go.”

A strange woman grabs my hand.

“I guess it hasn’t been long since I came here. I can’t go out on the stairs anyway.”

“Wait a minute.”

[1ㅊㅡㅇ]

I think an afterimage passed by in front of the emergency lights.

Did I see it wrong?

“This way.”

I followed the woman upwards.

The surroundings gradually become brighter, and the ‘normal’ stairs come into view again.

[6th floor]

In reality, I couldn’t even go down one floor.

As I go out into the hallway, the sun shines again.

The woman seems to have decided that this is a safe place, so she stops and looks back.

“I am Daju Yoon. What is your friend’s name?”

“Dabin Lim. But-”

Why are you speaking informally all of a sudden?

“Dabin? okay. I’m twenty-three. I’m your sister, right?”

“There are four, you bastard.”

“Huh?”

“I’m twenty-four.”

Daju tilts his head.

“Yes? Are you really sure that you are older than me? It doesn’t look like that.”

“How does it look?”

“A high school student?”

“Gosam?”

“1st grade. Freshmen.”

Hyeonta comes rushing in.

“Younger brother. Isn’t it cute to lie about your age?”

“No? Me!”

Daju presses my shoulder. It looks like it’s not even 170 degrees from above…! eww.

“I have some circumstances.”

“What is it? Let’s take a listen.”

“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe me.”

“Hey. How long do you think I’ve been here? Do you think anything can happen here?”

“I was originally a man.”

“Foot!”

Laughter bursts out immediately.

“What is it? You were originally a man, but you became a woman?”

“Yes.”

“Then you were really a 24-year-old man originally?”

“Is 24 a big deal to you?”

“Ahhhh. I’m sorry. Hehehehe.”

“What’s funny.”

“Isn’t it rather good? You’re so cute now.”

“Say something that makes sense.”

This way, even if I go out, I can’t return to my life.

“What should I do? Have you touched your breasts? ah. I feel like I’m out of breath.”

“Well…”

“Don’t you scream every time you go to the bathroom?”

“Zeuunghi flowing…”

A long line of hallway railings. The sky is very blue.

With the cool breeze in the background, Daju lay leaning against the railing.

“You know it’s a little strange here, right?”

“Yes. There were monster-like things wandering around last night too.”

“If it looks like a monster, it’s better to avoid it. There’s a lot more than that, here.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Hehe. As you live, you will know.”

“Don’t play around.”

“If you listen to a certain broadcast, you will go crazy, or if you go down the wrong stairs, you will die. Things like that?”

“It feels like the place itself is dangerous.”

“That’s right. By the way, how did you get in here?”

“Are you changing your words to make fun of me?”

I’m already feeling so frustrated that I’m going crazy. Do I have to listen to my sister?

“Aha!!! Do you know how cute you are reacting right now?”

“It’s really annoying.”

This kid named Yoon Da-ju. The level of teasing people is high.

It looks really cute. Keep going.

If I were a man, I would have punched him in the face, but I’m shorter now…

“So, how did you get here?”

“Just, I found a lease. The house was fine until I inspected it and moved in. As night fell, a crazy man was walking around asking me to open the door.”

“I was fooled at that moment.”

“Yes. I thought I opened the door a little and searched in fear.”

“So!”

Da-joo nods his head and then vents his anger on his own.

“I was also fooled and almost died? But everyone calls me an idiot. no. Don’t you think that beggar apartments have a slightly different electricity supply?”

“Ah. Are there other people in the apartment?”

“Yes. I’ll introduce you later.”

Da-joo gets up from the railing with a sound.

“First, let’s look for some things.”

Then he handed the bag on his back to me.

“That’s right. I saved my brother’s life, so please help me.”

“……If it’s something strange, I won’t do it.”

“It’s just like shopping. Are you going to do it?”

“Yes.”

He seems to know something. I heard there are other people, so it would be helpful if you go with them.

Above all, I can’t do anything by myself.

“This way!”

It looks like he’s thinking of using the elevator.

“I haven’t taken the elevator yet.”

“Yes.”

“Isn’t it a little scary at first?”

“I guess so.”

“That’s why! It’s strange to ride this so casually!”

“I see.”

Not even 10 minutes after we met, I was already exhausted. Slowly, I begin to answer half-heartedly.

– 6th floor. The door opens.

I got on the elevator and looked in the mirror.

A girl who is really about high school age is staring blankly into the mirror. So this is me. For now.

It doesn’t look bad. no. Honestly, I don’t envy celebrities. Stretchy training clothes. The loose hair gives a somewhat sexy feel. I wish I had dated a guy like this when I was in school.

“That’s right. I just thought of something.”

“What is it.”

“You’re not that interested?”

“Yes. You talk too much.”

“I’ve seen people change. It didn’t change into something that looks this good, though.”

“What? What happened?”

“That was the guy who was walking around looking for an exit. I once visited a space that looked like a library with that guy. What kind of book did the man there…”

“……No.”

“Huh? Why did you suddenly stop talking?”

“If you react well to what I say, I should talk to you little by little.”

“Hey!!!”

– 11th floor. The door opens.

“Get off.”

“Are you really not going to tell me?”

“I don’t have time right now. I’ll talk slowly later, so get off quickly.”

“Okay. Got it…”

Jin is running out.

After a while.

What appeared before my eyes were numerous boxes.

Endless hallways. There is a line of front doors on one side of the hallway, and parcels occasionally arrive in front of the doors.

“What is all this?”

“Now you have to come to your senses. Just open the box I’m talking about and don’t touch anything else.”

“What are you doing here?”

“I know. I just use it because I have it. Come on!”

Daju throws a small box.

“What.”

“Read what’s on the box.”

Women’s Underwear Monday Bra [Functionality]

-Waybill number 124355

-Pandae Home Shopping

“Underwear? Why?”

“You are lucky. I’m looking for something like this.”

“This, this… No way…!”

“What are you doing? I need to put it in my bag quickly. Are you going to live without wearing underwear?”

“This…you want me to wear this? I hate it!”

“If the size doesn’t fit, it’s very uncomfortable, so listen to me. It’s hard to find something that fits.”

“……”

“Isn’t it so uncomfortable to move now because it shakes?”

Is this what it feels like to have something in your heart broken?

I opened the box and threw the contents into the bag. I didn’t have the courage to look at what was inside, so I closed my eyes and just finished it.

“Good job, sister~”

“……”

My face is hot.

“Let’s find something to eat. I don’t have time to waste on this.”

“Yes. Sister~”

I’m going to die… really die…
