Fortunately, the ban on going out was not enforced.

You probably know very well that it is impossible to keep your 25-year-old brother locked up in the house in the first place.

Even so, complete freedom is not guaranteed.

Until the sexual harasser who is doing perverted things around here is arrested, I have to shop at the supermarket near my apartment.

So you have to do your grocery shopping in front of your house.

The supermarket below the studio is also nice.

“Then I haven’t had mackerel for a while.”

“So…”

They both know it well because they often tell us how bad the mackerel sold at the supermarket in front of our house is.

But don’t these guys work?

“Can you guys stay like this?”

“I finished it?”

“Me too.”

I’m jealous.

I also have a lot of reserves, so it doesn’t really matter whether I write or not, but I don’t know when I’ll run out of reserves every time, so I’m writing whenever I can.

Before, I wrote up to 5 episodes a day, but these days, the story isn’t coming out well, so I’m only writing about 3 episodes a day.

It’s comfortable to think about using it for about 6 hours.

“Then why not make some reserves?”

So the complaints flowed out for no reason.

It seems like I’m the only one working hard!

“Do you know how long it takes to draw a webtoon?”

“Then Seongho, what about you?”

“I don’t make things like stockpiles.”

“……”

Even if Minjae is like that, Seongho, what kind of idiot is this guy?

Then shouldn’t I write diligently every day?

“I’m taking a break because I wrote it. You come to the studio at 9 o’clock and finish writing by 1 p.m.?”

“Then you can write one more piece until 5 o’clock before you go home.”

“A. I also need time to rest.

“That’s true, but…”

I’m jealous for no reason.

Even though I keep my reserves a secret, I have no choice but to show that I am using them diligently every day.

Should we just take out all of our large stockpiles?

If I calmly tell the truth, I might be able to escape from this hell of accumulating infinite reserves.

“No…no…that is absolutely not possible…”

“Tsk tsk… Siwoo, this guy… has finally gone crazy.”

Seongho looks at me pitifully and clicks his tongue.

Once you release your reserves, you will have to faithfully write a series every day.

So wouldn’t it be more difficult than it is now?

Now I can rest when I want to.

“So who wants to use up 300 pieces of stockpile? You should also use your reserves appropriately.”

“If you want to change the story along the way, that’s it. Even if I change it just a little bit in the middle, I could probably eat it.”

“Don’t worry about that. Because I’ve already changed it a few times.”

I changed the strange parts I wrote in my sleep, and I also changed the story I didn’t like.

Along the way, I deleted anything that might be controversial.

Because I wrote this in advance, I don’t know what will happen in the future.

It was okay at the time, but there are some parts that may become controversial later.

“….But the story is that stable? Is this talent?”

“What is talent? All you have to do is maintain the story line and make modifications.”

“You say that’s difficult? I should have looked into it from the beginning when I accumulated a lot of reserves… Ugh… This is why it’s scary when talented people put in effort.”

I scratched my head because it seemed like he was giving me a compliment.

I am so happy to hear that you are so talented and put in the effort.

“Why, this guy hasn’t changed at all since he was young.”

“Kuhm…”

“Well, that’s enough of this story. Isn’t it enough to just use one a day?”

“I see…”

Have I been working too hard so far?

I wrote it down in advance because I wanted the future to be comfortable.

I never imagined that it would cause something like obsessive-compulsive disorder.

“Then, I should only write one a day.”

“Then, when can I see the story I will write tomorrow?”

“Next year?”

“…….”

It can’t be helped, right?

I have that much in reserve.

*

It wasn’t time to go home yet, so I went outside with my friends.

We were talking about where to go, and Seongho said there was a good cafe, so I just believed him and followed him.

However, it was a bit far from the nice cafe I thought it would be.

The cafe was a cafe, but it was not a cafe that sold coffee, but an escape room cafe.

“What makes you think this is a good cafe?”

“I came here and tried it alone before and it was fun.”

“Anyway, three men…”

“I came because they said it would be more fun with friends. Let’s go in quickly.”

Originally, I was planning to come with Dahye.

I never thought I’d waste up a good date spot like this.

Still, my friends are asking me to go, so I have no choice…

Hey… I don’t know.

Jingling jingling.

We pushed our backs and came in.

The interior was decorated with slightly dark brown lighting.

And it’s extremely cold.

It may have suddenly become cold due to the difference between the hot weather outside in the summer and the temperature inside the air conditioner, but it is so cold that it is hard to imagine that it is 18 degrees.

Is the humidity high?

“Welcome.”

While we were panicking about the suddenly cold temperature, we were greeted by a long-haired woman sitting at the desk.

I don’t know if this is the concept, but the hair was very long, similar to the ring in Japanese movies.

“Hello. I made a reservation with Seongho Choi.”

“Customer Seongho Choi… Did you make a reservation for ‘Chinoike Jigokuro’?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Chinoikejikoku….?”

If you roughly translate it into Korean, it’s something like ‘Bloody Hell Pond’?

Is it related to the sentence ‘The pond was stained with blood and looked like hell’ from a novel based on a true story published in Japan?

Now that I think about it, it seems like there is a hot spring with a similar name in Beppu…

Anyway, it’s a name that gives me goosebumps.

“The inside is decorated with a Japanese ryokan hot spring feel. As time goes by, the hot springs turn the color of blood, and this is a room with the concept of escaping the ryokan room before it turns completely red.”

“Aha…”

Are you saying that the time limit is a search for hot springs?

Rather than checking the remaining time with an electronic clock, looking at the hot springs that are colored red and look like hell is scarier and helps you concentrate better.

“Please go inside and check the rest. We inform you in advance that if you intentionally damage the interior, you may be charged compensation for business losses and repair costs.”

Then he handed us something.

I did something, but it was a contract with a disclaimer for the part I just mentioned.

There is nothing wrong with them.

It’s entirely your fault for breaking that thing… something like this.

“Write it quickly.”

“Hmm…”

Still, I need to read it all before signing something like this.

Writers like us are freelancers, so don’t we have to write contracts quite often?

Whenever that happens, it’s natural to look for any unfavorable provisions.

What if there is something like a poison clause?

“Now, here.”

“Hmm…”

“You look pretty meticulous too.”

“QTube said you should read these things carefully.”

“Seongho, please read and write.”

“Are you guys trying to go inside and break things?”

“What do you say?”

I’m afraid people will say something for destroying it even though we didn’t destroy it.

I heard that for the same reason, you should be careful when renting a car.

After signing all the autographs, we followed the staff at the desk and went inside.

There seem to be more rooms than expected, and all the rooms seem to be quite spacious.

“There are a total of 9 concept rooms in our cafe.”

“Oh… there are more than I thought.”

“Two places are currently being repaired because customers destroyed them.”

“……”

what.

It seems like there are quite a few customers like that?

Did he break it because he was startled?

Or maybe he got angry while doing it and broke it.

If it’s the former, it’s okay, but if it’s the latter, you should definitely stay away from it.

I wish there were no people like that around me.

As I was walking with that thought in mind, an employee stopped.

The door she was visiting was decorated more spookily than expected.

No… it’s been like this since the visit?

I don’t know what’s written on the door, but it’s written in scary, bright red letters.

“Anyone who touches a blood-stained lotus cannot return from hell. Even if it received the grace of Konohana no Sakuyahime.”

“If Konohana no Sakuyahime is Amaterasu’s granddaughter, isn’t she…”

Was he the god of flowers?

It’s even scarier because they say it’s hell, where even God can’t save.

You really nailed the concept.

Even the sound of the door opening gives me goosebumps.

“But inside…”

bang!

When we got inside, the door closed with a loud noise.

I grabbed the handle and turned it to see if it would work, but the door was locked, probably because it was an escape room cafe.

“I was surprised…”

“Hey. Isn’t this a real sword?”

“It gives me goosebumps. It gives me goosebumps.”

As I heard earlier, the interior of this place is very similar to a Japanese ryokan.

An expensive ryokan with a private hot spring on the veranda.

however…

Why is there a knife presumed to be a katana and blood splattered inside the ryokan?

” Is this the setting book or something?”

Minjae discovers something on the wooden table in the center of the ryokan.

It looks like a thin pamphlet, and I’m flipping through it.

“Don’t watch it alone, read it.”

“…. You are currently in Yufuin, Fukuoka, Japan…. You are at the scene of an unsolicited murder case that occurred at a famous ryokan there…..”

“So, don’t ask, is this the scene of a murder?”

“One of the companions who witnessed this said that this incident was not a random murder committed by humans, but something unknown…”

“So it’s a horror concept.”

Ah, it’s a little scary.

It feels like something out of a horror movie.
