“···What's going on?”
Xguy、 ”

Our ghost story club at the entrance to Seoul Station.
I am confused by the suddenly changing scenery around me..
“Hey guys!”
Teacher Jang Hwa-eun, who couldn't join us because she was parking after dropping us off..
Now that the situation is over, you come up the stairs, panting through the crowd..
“Hey, what's going on?……?”
“···well.”
Soon, the police who had entered Seoul Station to search stuttered back and walked out to the entrance..
Passersby who were watching quietly walk backwards and go their separate ways..
Cars driving backwards on the road with crazy blinking lights.
The sun, which had already set in the sky, slowly rises and illuminates the setting sun once again..
“Look over there, Jun.……
When we all looked at the place that Sun-a pointed to, we saw the corpse standing up and taking back the blood that had been scattered on the ground..
“···Let's go inside..”
We are soon heading back to the platform inside Seoul Station..
w$#@!&r%······ Incomprehensible voices come from all directions, like the frantic noise made when rewinding a tape..
The employees back away frantically and the corpses come back to life, convulsively sucking the blood from their clothes into their bodies..
And there are citizens who snatch their carrier bags from the air and walk away, looking sane..
“…It's going back again.”
I tried to check the time by opening the status window, but [Loading…] … .] message was displayed and nothing was happening, so I had no choice but to take out my phone..
“Guys, look at this..”

“Time is spinning.”
“oh my god……
Just like when the main character turned back time in a movie called Doctor Strange that I saw a few years ago, people were each picking up blood scattered on the floor and putting severed limbs back together in the air..
Objects on the floor that were left in disarray slowly roll away in various shapes and return to their owner's arms..

“Hey guys! People are coming! Avoid this way!”
Crowds of people who have run away are rushing backwards from the entrance..
The teacher and detective quickly pushed us against the wall to avoid getting run over by people driving in reverse..
Rumble.

Murmur.
Soon the citizens begin to move again as if nothing had happened..
“where are you? Come quickly... It's almost time for the train.”
“Honey, shall we have dinner here??”
Buying train tickets, laughing with family, waiting for a lover.
A cleaning lady who was passing by holding a broom glanced at us as we stood blankly in the corner at the bottom of the escalator and then passed by..
In this world, all traces left by the ghost story Kim Eun-jung have disappeared..
“Phew.”
Detective holding his heart out.
“I don't know what it is, but it looks like it ended well..”
“···Let's call Jinhee..”
I tried to quickly call, but Jinhee only said in a quiet voice that she was tired today and would go home first..
“okay. great job. It seems like everything here has been resolved as if nothing had happened, and all the people who fell are alive and moving around just fine. I think it was resolved well.”
[That's good.]
“We'll take a look and then disperse. Go in and get some rest. Thank you so much for your hard work.”
[You too.]
Ding_
Between the people rushing back and forth inside Seoul Station.
Five students from our ghost story club and two adults stand looking at each other a little awkwardly..
Finally, the detective cleared his throat and spoke..
“···so. Did everyone eat dinner??”
Food court on the 3rd floor of Seoul Station.
We each ordered pork cutlet, naengmyeon, and sundae soup and are chomping at the bits..
“Oh, were you the teacher in charge of the club? Now that I know, these guys are the ones who only call me when I need them..”
“I agree. They really manipulate adults into doing whatever they want, hoho..”
Two adults in a club chatting while eating food.
However, since we had just seen the murder scene where limbs were cut off and covered in blood, we had no appetite and were just munching on a grain of rice..
Deokhoon is the only one who is eating another bowl in a hurry..
“...You eat well.”
You have a good stomach too.
Soon, among the students who looked a bit tired, Kyungwon next to me slowly opened his mouth..
“Manager. I thought about what just happened..”
“huh. I was curious too. If anything comes to mind, can you explain??”
“Probably the ghost story of a friend that no one remembers... There are a lot of variations, but what I said before is probably true..”
A friend I used to hang out with in the past that I clearly remember, but no one around me knows..
A ghost story that says that even if you search through old traces to show evidence, only that friend is missing like a ghost..
When it materialized and came out, did it go around with the characteristics of memory manipulation and reality manipulation according to the concept?.
“When it was eradicated, the reality that the ghost story had manipulated was completely reset.……
“···It’s surprising that we’re the only ones who are fine..”
“Well, as the manager said before, we were already aware of that..”
I gestured to Gyeongwon, who was trying to explain the details that came to mind, that he could stop..
It's already over..
What is important is what information can be inferred from here regarding the resolution of the next case..
“That's why.”
The guy puts down his chopsticks and raises his glasses as if he has no interest in eating anymore..
In an instant, Deokhoon's fork flew in and stole Gyeongwon's pork cutlet..
“There's a 200 won ghost story I told you yesterday..”
“···That was yesterday.”
The incident was so crazy that I thought it had been a few weeks..
“I'm talking about your experience that 200 won coins existed when you were young.?”
“It's not an experience. I am not the only one in Korea who has experienced this..”
The guy pushes up one side of his glasses..
“The way I see it, that too... I think it's a sign of some sort of reality manipulation, just like what happened just now, Director..”
“Reality manipulation... … ?” "okay.
Swish-
Deokhoon’s fork is flying once again.
Gyeongwon seems to be annoyed and pushes the tray towards him and continues explaining..
“No matter how much I think about it, I don't think such absurd content could have spread to sane citizens. There are not just one or two people who remember. Jinhee and I were clearly aware of this..”
But I don't remember.
Still, for now, I listened to his explanation in silence..
“I became convinced after witnessing reality being manipulated and modified right in front of my eyes with my eyes open. This probably isn't the first time this kind of reality modification has happened..”
“···I agree with that.”
I felt like the game Clover Corporation released 10 years ago and the teachers knew about ghost stories..
The history of ghost stories may be much older than we realize..
In that case, the manipulation of reality that just occurred may have occurred several times.
lego…….
“200I think that people's memories, including mine, about the original coin are probably traces of it..”
“…Traces of reality manipulation?”
“huh. I can't tell you the details, but……
The guy shakes his head a little bit unsure..
“Listen. Her friends had forgotten, but in the end, the Kim Eun-jung that Jin-hee remembered was a real person. I'm saying it wasn't an illusion..”
“···It was like that.”
The reason Jinhee's friends didn't remember Kim Eunjung.
Now that I think about it, that wasn't that strange..
Iljin and Eunjeong from that class played together at most three or four times in elementary school..
Eun- jeong just voluntarily followed along in the crowd of people playing, so Jin-hee's already indifferent friends had no choice but to forget about it..
The lizard and rabbit incidents, which should have been strongly memorable in the first place, were just a play made by the counselor..
“look. In the end, it was Jinhee's friends who misremembered.?”
“···okay.”
“It was a minor thing, but it could never be mistaken..”
Kyungwon takes off his glasses and slowly wipes his eggs..
“So I think the 200 won coin actually existed originally. Rather, it is other people who have forgotten. I guess I'm right.”
“… You have a confident expression on your face, unlike someone who can't come to their senses whenever strange phenomena happen..”
I thought that such a realistic personality would naturally be swept away by the social atmosphere and pass it off as a mistake..
However, Gyeongwon, who was blowing on the glasses, answered as if nothing had happened..
“For you, the fact that you had 200 won may be a ghost story, but for me, the fact that you don't have 200 won seems like a ghost story..”
It's the opposite. For this guy, that is reality.-
“Why don't you guys eat like this??”
At that moment, teacher Jang Hwa-eun stands up and snatches Seon-ah's fried shrimp from two spaces away with her chopsticks..
Suna is just staring blankly with a tired expression..
“You need to eat a lot while growing up.!”
The teacher stands up again, mutters his mouth, dips Hayun’s croquette, and takes it away..
U -= =- -=- 99
Oooh.
“I had a hard time today. Everyone please enter carefully..”
“Yes, detective. See you next time.”
Just as I was about to leave after getting into the teacher's car, the detective suddenly placed his hand on my shoulder and quietly asked:.
“Juna.”
“yes.”
“Why do you think I'm helping you?.”
The detective asks in a profoundly low tone..
A force that cannot be relaxed is exuded from the person's appearance..
He seemed to be a little more comfortable with me because he was in front of students, but just like I felt when we first met, this guy was like this guy. It's not just my brother..
“···I know you're not an ordinary detective..”
“okay.”
Detective Park Kang-woon nods his head silently..
In a previous life, this person was called during the head explosion incident at Nakseong High School. And strangely enough, they are not bound by the investigative system and show a sense of freedom, while using police personnel when necessary..
There is something strange about seeing him as a simple police investigator..
“I'll come visit you sometime soon.”
“For something important.”
I nodded as if I understood..
“···all right.”
I feel indebted to this person for helping me many times, including today..
If there is anything I can do for you, I might be able to help you a little..
“okay. “You must be tired, so go ahead.” The detective said after seeing the officers in the car looking at us..
“Come quickly~”
“go now.”
After completing the contract with the detective, I got into the car..
“What did we talk about??”
“···just. He wants to come visit you next time for something important..”
“okay?”
The teacher looks behind him and pulls out the car..
“What about Hayun??”
Suddenly, we looked at the window and saw Hayun standing in the distance at Seoul Station, looking at us blankly..
“My brother said he was coming to pick me up in his car..”
“···You had an older brother..”
We wave our hands through the window, say hello to Hayoon and the detective, and head back toward Sillim-dong..
As if he had lost his force, the detective transformed into a big man again and waved us off..
“The scenery is nice.”
“pretty……
The Hangang Bridge, which I couldn't appreciate when I was in a hurry earlier..
The Han River flows peacefully on both sides
The water shines yellow in the setting sun.
