［This is breaking news. A bundle of money worth over 2 billion won was found in a pile in a garlic field in Gangseo-gu, Busan. An excavator operator who was working on restoring a nearby road discovered it while digging in the nearby soil. A story like a movie, reporter Kim Hyun-ji covered it..]
[As an excavator turns over a garlic field, black plastic bags are revealed..]
[“Oh, it's torn, be careful! Lift it carefully! I heard money, I didn't?”]
[What came out of the bag were 200 bundles of 50,000 won notes. It's a whopping 1 billion won. The police, who were dispatched after receiving a report around 6 p.m., searched a 1,000 square meter garlic field and found only 2.7 billion won in cash..]
That day, Children's Day evening.
After eating out with my family, I sat at home watching the news on TV..
Sure enough, after waiting, in the evening, news broke on TV that cash had been found buried in a garlic field..
‘I remembered correctly..’
Since no one lives with the assumption of going back to the past, I forgot the exact location, but I clearly remembered that it was today because of the special date of Children's Day. A treasure hidden in a field by a con man who runs an illegal gambling site and deceives the odds..
Even if you take it first and steal it, no social record will be left, and it is a completely secretive amount of money that no one will come back and harm..
‘The victims are the same criminals who engaged in illegal gambling. You might not even realize that your money was stolen. 'You'll just think you lost the game.' In the case of winning the lottery, even if I somehow managed to get it with the help of the detective or teacher Hwa-eun, I was concerned that in the end, the large amount of money would be in someone else's hands and that I would always have to go through a bridge when spending money..
If the money is buried in this garlic field, you are safe..
As I recall, by tomorrow the police will search that garlic field and find a bundle of cash worth a total of 11 billion won..
‘And all that money is returned to the national treasury..’

Suddenly I got a call, so I checked and it was Gyeongwon..
Ding_
“hello?”
[Manager! Did you see the news? That's the blind money the manager was talking about.?]
A guy with a slightly excited tone..
[What happened? You brought it well, right??]
I didn't answer..
After reading the news from the beginning and confirming the location properly, I was planning to go back in time and go get it..
[Manager! manager?]
The guy who was calling me with no answer seemed to notice something and stopped for a moment..
[···I'm thinking of going to pick it up from now on. Because I confirmed it.]
I said with my eyes closed.
“that's right.”
[…….]
I didn't tell them properly because I was afraid this would happen..
I just said it like I already knew.
Because if you notify me in advance that you will turn back time, you will be making it clear that the two days you will spend from now on will be meaningless moments that will disappear from your memories.
Because it’s the same.
Sentence to life indefinitely.
How is Kyungwon feeling right now?.
In 20 minutes, you will forget who you are now..
[···Take care, manager..]
“okay.”
A voice that hesitates somewhere, the tension suddenly subsides..
But it seems like the worry is real..
[Be sure to tell me later.]
“···It'll be okay?”
The question is whether it would be okay if I told you everything, including the fact that time went back without you knowing..
Even if you keep explaining things like that to make them aware, it will only lead to confusion about who you are now..
If possible, I want the members to live their daily lives without thinking too deeply about that part..
Just as not everyone goes through life ruminating at every moment that they will inevitably grow old and die in about 70 years, there are some topics in life that it is easier to ignore..
[···are you okay. You can tell me. I have to get used to it slowly..]
I nodded my head silently at Gyeongwon’s tone of voice, which was trying to seem calm..
[Everyone needs to get used to it.]
“thank you.”
[okay…….]
Gyeongwon, who was looking for something to say for a moment, soon spills out information..
[5One 10,000 won bill weighs about 1g. If you calculate it with that... I don't know how strong the manager is, but the amount of money he can carry around in his bag at a time is about 1 billion won..]
10One hundred million won is equivalent to 20,000 50,000 won notes, weighing about 20 kg..
Of course, it would be possible to buy a very large bag and cram it in more..
Considering that I am in a position to cross the entire land of the Republic of Korea from end to end, there is no need to do something that stands out..
If you have about 20 kg of 50,000 won bills in your bag and 1 billion won, it will be enough for students to participate in club activities for 3 years..
[Of course, that's only the amount you can carry at one time. If the manager at the garlic field hides it in some other land so the police can't find it, he can stop by Busan later and bring more..]
“I won't do that..”
dangerous.
Apparently, this money is dark money with a criminal organization involved behind it..
[···It's like that too?]
«huh ,,
I nodded..
“10“Hundreds of millions of won is the amount of money we would have left over even if we spent a lot of money for three years.” A whopping 1 billion won in club membership fees.
No matter where you go or what activities you do, you can use it as much as you want..
“There is no need to take more than that, nor should you. Because I don’t know where and what variables will come into play..”
We are already taking enough risk as of now..
The only option is to go and look around the garlic fields to see who lives near them and whether it is a good place to sneak them in..
[...I'm confident I won't get caught?]
“The area nearby is completely rural, with only a village bus running every 30 minutes. The owner of the cash buried in the garlic field is currently in prison for another case..”
In the future, this incident is so famous that it will be used as the subject of various dramas and webtoons, so I only know about it..
“I checked this and that. I'm confident I won't get caught.”
[okay… If the manager had looked into it, there would be no problem. So where are you going to keep the money you brought??]
“secret.”
[Indeed…….]
Gyeongwon smiling brightly.
［Even if I heard it now, I would probably forget it anyway..］
“···still. It's a place you know, but it's a bit complicated to explain why it's hidden there..”
［Okay, then.］
Gyeongwon’s voice sounds curious but resigned..
［I hope the manager has thought of a safe method..］
« huh ”
［Be really careful. If anything happens, contact me. I stayed at home all day yesterday. If I call you, I'll answer right away.]
“Okay, I'll contact you if I need to..”
[Okay, good luck..]
“thank you.”
I hang up the phone, turn on the Internet, read news articles, and check the map and location again..
“Gangseo-gu, Busan……
First of all, it is located in Busan, but I think it would be more correct to think of it as Gimhae, which is completely on the outskirts..
The place where road restoration work was carried out was a road called Nakdongnam-ro along the Nakdong River..
“Nearby are Noksan Middle School and Nokmyeong Elementary School.……
It looks really empty in the picture, but it was amazing that there was a school in such a rural place..
Looking at the map, I slowly looked at unfamiliar place names such as Seo-gu, a river between Busan and Gimhae, and the names of roads I had never seen before, to see which route and how to take it..
And by comparing the video and photos from the news article again, we confirmed the topography of the garlic field and the location where the money was buried..
‘Surprisingly, there is a street view.' I once again found it amazing that Korea has street views in every corner..
I looked around nearby using the street view function on the map..
A river on one side. And on the other side, there is a completely empty field, but I can roughly guess that the target garlic field is somewhere in the distance..
‘I guess that's it..’
I saw a few temporary buildings nearby..
Seeing that the light is on in the picture, it doesn't seem like it's an unused building..
‘In the first place, there is no place in this small Republic of Korea where people do not live..’
Still, they are all temporary buildings that look more like warehouses or factories than actual buildings where people live..
If I had to pick something that bothers me, it would be a tile-roofed house that is falling down near the garlic field..
You will have to go and check for yourself to find out if there are people living in that tile-roofed house..
“Phew.”
I turned off my computer and briefly put on my coat..
5Considering that the Fork Lane driver reported it around 6pm this evening on the 5th of May.…….
‘The checkpoint would have been yesterday, or the day before yesterday..’
Once you die, you will know at what point you will come back to life..
I passed the living room, went to the front door, and put on my shoes..
“Where are you going, Jun??”
My father is looking back at me from the living room sofa, wearing running clothes..
“I'm going to take a walk for a while. I think I ate too much at the buffet earlier..”
“okay. Just because I didn’t buy you a gift on Children’s Day doesn’t mean you’re running away from home.?”
“No, not like that.……
I'm not running away from home, I'm just going to commit suicide..
“I'll go and come back.”
“Yes, if you really want a gift, let me know..”
I smiled as I opened the front door..
‘How old am I?.’
You should at least prepare a gift for Children's Day yourself..
The type is cash and the amount is approximately 1 billion won..
[It goes up.]
I took the elevator and got off at the top floor, then opened the emergency door and went up to the rooftop..
I stand in front of the railing across the dark rooftop where nameless machines are humming..
An evening view of our apartment complex that spreads out before your eyes.
In the dark, you can see the lights emitted from each home at the end of the evening..
Some families sit around and watch TV, while in some homes, students can be seen playing games alone..
When I look down, I see people taking a walk and security guards wandering around..
“Phew.”
Somehow I feel sentimental.
Before jumping off, I take a quick look around the rooftop..
‘There used to be Hayoon around that spot..’
During the psychopath test, Hayun had her black hair flowing under the moonlight..
A strange beauty that cannot exist in reality is vivid in your eyes..
What is he really doing?.
‘I'm going back anyway, I'll just have to see the reaction..’
I opened my phone and sent a KakaoTalk message to Hayun..
〈Lee Jun: I will commit suicide now and go back in time..〉
KakaoTalk~♬
〈In Ha-yoon: Yes〉
It's consistent.
‘Still, I haven't read it yet.' I put my phone away and pounded my chest..
“I can do it, I can do it.” Just do it. Just do it!
I close my eyes tightly, run over, and quickly climb over the railing..
Ugh... Ugh r
Hwiiiiiiiik - My body was floating in the air without anything to support me, and I was so scared that I curled up my arms and legs..
And the feeling of falling endlessly down there.
“O｝Aaagh... o｝o｝Aaaa I”
Hehehey profit-
The sound of the wind passes by so much that it stings my ears, and I feel my heart sinking endlessly..
When will it end? When will it end?.
I heard that some people die of heart attacks before falling to their deaths. Fuck, while I'm falling ahhh, I'm going crazy.
I desperately held on for this moment to end, but eventually my vision was cut off with a tremendous shock..
[you are dead.]
[Restart from checkpoint.]
[Loading…….]
* * *
“Jun, do you want to come out and help??”
As I was lying face down on the bed in my room reading ghost stories on my cell phone, my mother called.
put on.
I immediately got up from my seat and shouted at the status window..
“status window.”
Paat-

[Lee Jun - 2nd episode]
[ghost story point : 195]
[causality : 19%]
‘Saturday 11:23 am. came back a day ago.’
The cash in the garlic field will be discovered by the excavator driver around tomorrow evening..
If you prepare now and take the train, you will be able to arrive in Busan by this evening. And if you dig up the cash and come back during the night, you'll have plenty of time..
“Jun, come and help me.~”
My mom, who is cleaning in my parents' room, calls me again..
I quickly change into my clothes for going out and leave the house..
“Mom, I'm sorry, but my friends are calling me right now..”
“Ugh, okay. “Go.” My parents don't blame me too much after going through a difficult situation with robbers..
I quickly left the apartment complex, walked to Sillim Station, and took the subway..
