episode_0043

I was very happy to see Arin again, but I also had some questions. I heard that everyone at the other hospital achieved Buddhahood, but how did Arin come out…?

“You seem to be curious about how I came back.”

I wonder if Arin can tell what I’m thinking just by looking at my facial expressions… Or am I thinking too simply?

“From the beginning, I managed the director separately as a special person. Don’t you remember reading the vision? A list of patients managed separately.”

The patient requiring attention I read about on the 2nd floor. Are you talking about the book that Hayun, Arin, and the woman on the fourth floor were written in?

” Hayun… must have been subjected to such a harsh experiment that she no longer has the strength to endure. Because she wasn’t that obsessed with me and the 4th floor.”

I felt like my teeth were grinding as I heard from the person’s mouth what the director, who was already dead, had done. I feel guilty for hurting someone with my own hands, but no matter how many times I go back, I would have shot the director that time.

“It’s okay to not make such a scary face. Because we were able to escape thanks to Sihyeon’s help.”

“…Yes.”

Arin and I hugged each other tightly again. I felt reassured that her warm, soft body seemed to let me know that she was here.

“I know you two are hot, but shouldn’t you talk to us for a moment?”

Oh, I guess I should introduce Arin to Sohye and my senior. Those two people probably don’t know anything about Arin.

“…Sihyeon, go far away for a moment. I have something to talk about with those two.”

Arin was showing her characteristic expressionless expression again. If we’re going to talk, isn’t it right for me to be there too?

“Yes, yes. Sihyeon, come talk to Sohyun and Somin for a moment. Because we girls have some stories to share.”

Sister Sohye…? Isn’t this your first time meeting Arin…?

“Everyone is saying the right things. My junior, stay far away for a moment. Do you know?”

In the end, I couldn’t overcome everyone’s cold stares and trudged to my grandmother. It’s not like there’s anything to talk about with the police… Yes, that’s right… Because you’re never lonely…

Three beautiful women were gathered together, but the atmosphere was very scary. When no one could easily open their mouth, an expressionless pretty girl pulled the trigger.

“Are you Sihyeon’s concubines?”

The other two’s expressions quickly began to turn cold at the bold words. The chill they gave off to each other made it seem like the temperature had dropped only in that area.

“Since you came last, you are the concubine, right?”

“If I go in the order in which I came first and in the order in which my junior likes me, isn’t that right for me?”

Even two beauties who were thought to be on the same side became divided. Sohye and the senior, who were glaring at each other, started talking without worrying about who would go first.

“Aang? Sihyeon risked his life to save me?”

“I don’t know about you two, but I can be in this position thanks to my junior’s help!?”

“I can be here too thanks to Sihyeon’s help. You are my benefactor and first love.”

They continued to stare at each other in silence again. Since I liked him for similar reasons, I needed something else that would give me an edge over the other person.

“I helped Sihyeon twice when she was in danger. And when that child loves me…how intensely…!”

“…It’s not something I should say as I put my junior in danger, but he really, really likes me. And I can’t say it, but you saved me too?”

“I also saved Sihyeon. And Si-hyeon said she loved me…how many times, how many times did she whisper to me.”

At Arin’s words, the two people looked at Arin with shocked expressions. love you? I haven’t heard it myself yet, but how many times have I heard it?

“You…that’s a lie, right?”

” Sihyeon said it wasn’t a lie. If you don’t believe me, you can ask me directly.”

Ding ding ding – the bell announcing the winner was heard. Arin, the winner, still had an expressionless expression, but she looked so triumphant in the eyes of the two people.

“So, you are the concubine, and I am the concubine. I’m generous, so I’ll forgive you even if you like Sihyeon.”

VV.

The sound of something bubbling was heard. Sohye, who saw Arin’s hand gesture of victory, couldn’t hold back and was ready to run to Sihyeon.

“…Let go of this! I’m going to listen now too! What did you eat to be so strong!?”

“Oh, no…! I can’t forgive hitting a player! Didn’t we both decide to go equally from the beginning!?”

The senior was holding Sohye’s waist tightly as she tried to go to Sihyeon. Sohye was applying so much force that the thick floor was dented, but the senior was never pushed back.

“The miserable looks of the losers make me happy.”

“Who is the loser! It’s not over yet!!”

“I-Ik…I heard that my junior is…my favorite…!”

“Somehow, the three of them look happy…”

“In the eyes of young people, does that look like they are having fun?”

The three people chatting away in the distance looked very happy. They seem to be joking around with each other…are they already friends? It was definitely a nice sight to see, but I felt lonely because I couldn’t be among them.

“So, grandma. This is the card key for the 5th floor.”

“There are five floors of corpses piled up… I’m sure if I report it hastily, I might get caught up in trouble. Leave it to me, I will call a police officer I know.”

“Thank you!”

After giving the card key to the grandmother, I bowed my head and said hello. Grandma waved her hand saying it was okay, but still, how could I not say hello to her since she was taking care of all the hard work for me?

It seemed like everything was over after finishing up at the hospital, but I still felt a little uncomfortable. What ended up happening between the person who came to play with his friends and was caught and the police officer…

They said that there was already no one left inside the hospital in reality, and they were nowhere to be seen in the hospital where Hayun and Arin met earlier…did they attain Buddhahood first? I hope you go to a good place.

“Hey, Sihyeon? Would you like to see this?”

When I turned my head, I saw Somin hurrying down the stairs upstairs. You said you were continuing to search the hospital. Did you find something?

Somin came up to me and grabbed my hand and gave me something. When I opened my hand, I saw a piece of paper.

Thanks for your help! revelation.

“This is the letter you wrote to Sihyeon, right…? I found it on the 5th floor.”

“…Yes, that’s right. Oh…and grandma. Can I ask you a favor?”

“Hmm? Say anything. I will grant any request to you young man.”

“Thank you!”

After conveying our request to the grandmother, we approached the three people who were still talking. The three people who were playing around with each other became as calm as a lie when they saw us approaching and looked at us.

“Now, let’s go. Because it’s all over.”

I smiled as brightly as I could.

“Is it here?”

“Yes. This is the place my grandmother told me about.”

The four of us were standing in front of a burial mound located on the side of a mountain. On the tombstone in front of the cemetery, only the three letters ‘Kim Ji-hoon’ were simply written.

“…This is that person’s grave.”

He was an evil police officer who pushed Arin to the limit and caused her to commit suicide… but after experiencing countless deaths, he only truly regretted his sins at the end.

“Now that I’ve forgiven you, it’s okay to leave in peace.”

Arin lit incense in front of his grave, placed it down, and bowed her head lightly in greeting. As I was watching, I took out the items I had prepared and put them down in front of me.

“Here, cigarettes and alcohol. I wasn’t sure what brand you liked…so I bought the most popular one.”

I bowed deeply in gratitude. If it weren’t for the pistol he gave me, I would have definitely collapsed in the end.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t return the pistol… It disappeared somewhere and I couldn’t find it.”

If he had heard, would he have forgiven him, or would he have cursed him? I didn’t know…but I felt like he forgave me for some reason.

“Thank you for your hard work, Sihyeon. Well then, should we go back and have a party at the hospital?”

Sohye gave me a strong hug from behind. Perhaps it was to comfort me when I was feeling a bit lethargic, but I always seemed to share my energy with my bright older sister.

“Good! Let’s have a welcome party and a party!”

“My, is this a welcome ceremony?”

“Yes. Since Arin came…this is a welcome ceremony for her.”

“…I’m happy.”

Arin hugged me tightly. There was a little trouble between the senior and Sohye, who were trying to remove it, but it was probably a minor issue.

And the little things continued even in the car on the way home.

“Why did you sit on Sihyeon’s lap when you had a seat?”

“It’s okay because I’m light. You’re heavy because you’re fat.”

“Fat…! Can you tell me I have a voluptuous body!?”

Arin on top of me and my sister trying to put Arin down. The car was shaking because of the two people’s argument.

“Hey, you two…I’m driving, but can you please stop making noise to people who don’t have the ability to drive? In the first place, why didn’t Sihyeon sit in the front seat?”

“I’m from the past, so I can’t do things like drive? And I got the feeling that Sihyeon wanted to ride in the back seat. Right?”

“Yes. I think Sihyeon said she wanted to ride in the back seat.”

Do these two people have a good relationship or a bad relationship? It’s probably a good thing that they seem to get along well.

“Oh, and wait. It’s time for news to come out on YouTube!”

“How do people from the past know about things like YouTube!!”

With her senior’s screams in the background, Sohye took out her cell phone and began to operate it skillfully. Smartphone…? Isn’t Sohye actually a modern person?

ㅡ On the O day of O, the bodies of numerous people who had gone missing were discovered at the O Mental Hospital. A total of 000 bodies were discovered, including employees of the hospital who suddenly appeared, and authorities plan to investigate the exact cause of death…

News from the hospital was playing. OOO… that witch really killed and tormented a lot of people… huh?

“Arin’s body is also in there?”

“Sihyeon is touching my corpse right now.”

I’m sure I’m hugging Arin’s waist to keep her from falling over when the car shakes…a corpse?

“This body is my corpse. I’m moving with power.”

“…Is that possible?”

“Why are you so surprised, Sihyeon? Right now, my sister is creating a body and moving it using the hand that Sihyeon found for her as a medium?”

Is Sohye a little bit shy? I knew he was in a similar state, but…moving his own corpse, was such an eccentric feat possible? No, is boiled pork a little more unusual?

“This body is strong because the director stored it in a special solution. And since I move with my own power… something like this is possible.”

Arin’s body began to get cold in an instant. It was cool enough to feel pleasant to the touch, so I unconsciously hugged Arin a little tighter.

“Tell me whenever you want during sex. I can accommodate all of Sihyeon’s tastes.”

“Well, I can do that too! Sihyeon, you must not be tempted!”

“…The back looks happy.”

Something filled my heart with happiness. What a blessing it is to be able to have fun with lovely people who like me.

“I might be happy somehow.”

“…You deserve to be happy. Sihyeon.”

I fell asleep with the gentle voice of my senior. From now on, will we always be happy?

ㅡ This is the next news. Recently, an increasing number of bizarre murder cases have become a hot topic. The victims were all killed when they were asleep, and died the next day with marks that looked as if they had been strangled by a snake.

The authorities have begun an investigation, but no significant results have been achieved yet, and it is expected that it will take time to identify the culprit. It is essential for the citizens to be cautious and close the door….

” Sihyeon, we’ve arrived, so let’s get off now?”

I slowly opened my eyes to the sound of Sohye’s voice. I wonder if I fell asleep in the car before I knew it… It was quite a long way from the mountain to my house, but I must have slept for quite a long time.

“Come on, it’s already too early to stretch! Because I bought a lot of soju and makgeolli for the party!”

“…Sometimes I wonder if Sohye is a modern person.”

After parking, we all got out of the car together. It’s nice to have a party, but do I really have to do it in my room? It’s quite cramped with 4 people in here.

“Then Arin, hurry up and charge!”

“Put it down…”

My older sister hugged Arin and hurried up to my room on the second floor. Those two always fight a lot, but I’m glad to see that they seem to get along well at times like this.

“Senior, then let’s go up too!”

I held the hand of the senior who was standing behind me and quietly looking at me. When my senior was like this, he was always thinking about something…is he still worrying about something serious?

” Juniors, do you like it when everyone is happy?”

“What if happiness…?”

“If that person wants to be happy by going against both providence and fate, is it right to be happy?”

Providence, fate…

“If that providence and destiny lead to unhappiness… wouldn’t it be right to be happy even if we go against it?”

I don’t know the details about fatalism, philosophy, etc… but if you can choose happiness over unhappiness, wouldn’t it be right to be happy? Because I like happy endings.

“As expected, you look like a junior.”

The senior patted my head gently. I don’t know what the senior was thinking about, but I’m glad that his concerns seem to have been resolved.

When I led my smiling senior by the hand and went up to the second floor, the two people who went up first were looking at my room with surprised eyes. What are you doing standing in front…?

“Sister, Arin now…?”

I couldn’t help but look at the room in surprise. Hayun, whom I thought I would never see, who I thought I would never see anymore, and my mother… were smiling sweetly at me.

“Baby, mom…I’m back.”

Without saying a word, I walked up to my mom and hugged her tightly. Her warm body, her soft body, were all telling me that she was here…that she really existed in front of me.

“I thought I had no regrets anymore…but the two children I left behind were so close to my eyes…I still had regrets…I think God granted my wish.”

“I don’t care how you came back…I’m just thankful you came back to me…”

Her arms hugging me tightly were as comfortable and warm as they were when she hugged me in room 205.

“…I think I like happy endings, too. My beloved junior, Sihyeon…”
