Fourth ghost story - Mom (1)

I got off the elevator and stood in front of the front door of my house..

And the moment I lifted the keypad on the door lock to enter the password, something felt strange..

‘It's too quiet.’

I gently lower the keypad and put my ear to the front door..

If there is someone in the house, noise is bound to occur..

The sound of the TV, the sound of the vacuum cleaner running, the sound of the door opening and closing..

Or at least I should be a walking celebrity..

But I can't hear anything inside the house.

I can only feel the cold touch of the front door in my ears..

I covered the other ear with my hand and tried to concentrate again..

I can't hear anything either..

There's no one here, it's just a blank noise.

‘That can't be possible. I just saw my mom……

Putting the ominous feeling aside, I quickly entered the password and pulled the door handle..

Squeak-

“I went there~”

“ mom?”

I took off my bag and headed to the front veranda I saw earlier..

there was no one there.

“ mom?”

I walked to the main room and opened the door..

there is no one.

I went to the bathroom right next door and turned on the light..

‘ widely-’

I glanced inside the bathtub to see if anything, but there was no one there..

quiet.

Everything in the house, including Dad’s study.

After looking around the place, I checked my room one last time and went back to the living room..

silence.

silence.

‘Nope. Apparently, my mother was just standing on the veranda..’

There is no way they would have crossed paths in such a short period of time..

You must definitely stay at home..

‘veranda.’

I tried to go back to the veranda but stopped due to an ominous feeling..

I thought there was definitely someone there, but when I looked around, I found myself inside a quiet house..

Where did mom go?.

Am I alone at home now? Isn't it??

Even though it is broad daylight with sunlight shining inside, the inside of the house is filled with ominousness..

Suddenly, I felt a chill down my spine, and I looked back, but as expected, there was no one there..

I walked again and headed to the veranda..

And I stood in the same position where my mother was standing earlier..

When I look down, I see a sidewalk leading to the apartment entrance..

‘I was passing by there earlier and looked up..’

not that far away.

After all, there is no way I saw it wrong..

After standing on the veranda for a while, I turned my head and was about to leave, when something caught my eye..

It's a washing machine.

Our washing machine is located at the very end of the veranda..

The lid of the washing machine was closed.

Mom always leaves that lid open because of the moisture..

Why is it closed now?.

An ominous energy fills my spine..

I slowly approached the washing machine..

I wanted to call you mom, but.

I swallowed my saliva as it felt like something ominous would come out the moment I broke this quiet silence..

I silenced my footsteps and quietly stood in front of the washing machine. And slowly lift the lid

I raised it.

My mom is crouching inside the washing machine and looking up at me..

I took a step back, out of breath..

As I stepped back, the viewing angle of the washing machine lowered and my mother was obscured..

However, the corner of a human head can still be seen slightly sticking out of the end of the washing machine..

“Huh, wow.”

I slowly walked back with my eyes fixed on the washing machine..

The moment you take your eyes off,

It felt like he was screaming and running towards me..

“Huh, wow.”

I walked slowly, one step, two steps, and left the veranda..

I turned the corner to the living room in the same posture as I was walking backwards..

In my direction, the washing machine was blocked by a wall and slowly disappeared from view..

While slowly walking backwards to the middle of the living room.

A head popped out from the corner of the veranda..

“Did you go to school??”

Mom stuck her head out from the corner and asked without an accent..

“Huh, wow……

For a moment, my heart skipped a beat..

no.

not mom.

A person cannot stick his face out from the wall at a complete 90 degree angle like that..

To do that, you have to adopt a bizarre posture where your body is bent at a completely right angle..

“gasp, gasp……

Instead of answering, I slowly turned my head and approached the front door..

I don't have the confidence to make eye contact with something pretending to be my mother..

But the moment I completely took my eyes off it felt like it was running towards me..

So I slowly walked sideways, looking vaguely just enough to see that face looming in the corner of my vision..

Finally we reached the front door.

I stretched out my hand and pressed the button on the door lock by feeling..

[beep lick~]

“The son of a bitch looks like a father, crawling away again!!!!!!!”

The moment it opened its mouth and was about to jump out, I kicked down the door and ran like crazy down the stairs..

I jumped up 4 or 5 stairs at a time, as if I was going to fall and roll..

Coo goong, coo goong, coo goong.

I frantically ran to the first floor and opened the door..

And then I ran to the apartment complex in front of me..

“Huh, huh, huh, huh……

I ran away like crazy, only to find myself in the middle of a shopping mall with people coming and going, panting and catching my breath..

“Fuck, crazy, crazy, wow... Huh... omg… What the fuck… Huh... omg

Old ladies and students passing by glanced at me..

I wiped away the sweat and turned to look at my apartment..

There, my mother was still standing on the veranda, looking down at me without moving a muscle..

After a while, my mother slowly lay down on her back and crawled towards the living room in that same position, disappearing from sight..

‘crazy, fuck, crazy……

I caught my breath, sighed, and sat down on the stairs of the shopping mall..

Fortunately, I took my slippers with me and came out..

“Wow, at some point... Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.”

I am once again amazed at my quickness..

It's not a laugh because it's really funny, it's a self-deprecating laugh that comes out because the tension is released..

“Whoa whoa.”

I sigh deeply again..

‘What should I do now??’

You can't go back inside the house..

At least in the evening, when both my parents come home from work, I plan to go in with them..

Should I say ghost? That kind of thing usually doesn't come up when I'm with my family.…….

‘What time is it? status window.’

[2019Wednesday, March 6,, 16：22]

[Lee Jun - 2nd session, during tutorial]

[ghost story point : 15]

[causality : 6%]

It's a little past 4 PM now..

It has to be at least 7 o'clock for my parents to come home from work..

You will have to wait for over two hours..

‘Oh, I left my wallet behind too..’

I usually put my wallet in my bag, but I threw the bag inside the house and came out..

All I have now is a cell phone.

If I had 1,000 won, I would go to a PC room, but I don't have a single penny..

‘2What to do for half an hour?’

If you sit on a bench somewhere and use the internet on your cell phone, time will pass quickly..

Since I am a student and have very little data, I have no choice in places where Wi-Fi does not work..

I had no choice but to shake my ass and head to the playground inside the apartment complex..

* * *

As I was quietly riding on the swing at the playground, a passing woman came up to me, clicking her tongue..

“Student, why are you here alone??”

“I can't go home.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, I ate.?”

On a sunset afternoon, a student swings alone, without a bag, wearing only school uniform and slippers..

Does it look like there is some story behind it?.

“No, you don't have to worry about it. Really, I just can't go home..”

“I can't go home. Did you get kicked out by your mom??”

“yes……

“Tsutsu w

The lady clicks her tongue again.

“I don't mean to criticize other people's educational institutions, but how can a mother kick her child out wearing slippers... Ugh.”

“My son is a hospital doctor and my second son is a lawyer? He grew up well even though I never touched him.……

“Ah, yes. Go.”

Why are you suddenly bragging about your son??

I thought she came because she was worried, but it seems she was just a big-hearted lady..

[Understanding of the character Choi Ja-ok has increased by 5..]

I work at my desk to avoid the lady.

Oh, I walked around the neighborhood..

And to kill time, I went for a slow walk, but even after going around for a while, I got tired of it..

‘Why on earth am I going through this trouble?……

He is a boy who runs away from home forever..

I was going to spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home playing games, but something pretending to be my mom ruined it for me..

“Phew.”

I sighed and sat down on a nearby bench..

There's still time for my parents to come.

There's so much left.

My destitute and pitiful self. It's miserable to be a student without money.!

‘When I thought of the word ‘poor’, Suna suddenly came to mind..

‘I have nothing to do, so should I send a KakaoTalk message to Suna??’

Now that I think about it, I remembered exchanging numbers with Gyeongwon and Seonah while listening to the explanation of ghost stories in the manual yesterday..

I've only seen him at school and haven't contacted him on the phone yet..

‘Well, I called to check the number.

If you say that, it will be natural.?’

This is my first time sending a KakaoTalk message to a girl..

I'm a little nervous, but it's nothing too strange..

All you have to do is use KakaoTalk..

My heart is pounding.

Sigh“

I took my phone out of my pocket and opened KakaoTalk..

When I looked at my friends list, I saw the names of Seon-ah and Gyeong-won right on the first screen without even scrolling down..

At this point I really had few friends..

‘School days… I had a really boring time.’

It's a miracle that I have two friends who I can go home with after school..

It's because of my strange personality that I feel lonely when I'm alone, and I want to be alone when I'm with others..

I didn't really have a bad relationship with anyone, but I also didn't have any close friends that I could keep in touch with personally..

‘Hmm, optician. This guy's profile is a bit far

Let me take a look.’

When I opened Gyeongwon’s profile, I saw that he had proudly posted a selfie photo..

“omg.”

A posture with tightly closed lips and flashing glasses, as if wanting to emphasize one's intellectual appearance..

And in the status message underneath, there was a phrase that seemed to have been scraped from the Internet: ‘Thorough preparation creates your own luck.’.

“···I respect you.”

It looks pretty pretty so just stay still

If so, he might be popular with women..

Because of his overly intellectual personality and cool image, this guy's only friends at school are me and Seon-ah..

I clicked my tongue and opened Suna’s profile this time..

completely default state.

Profile photo with only a blue seal when nothing is set.

The status message was empty, there really was nothing there..

‘Is Suna also suffering from death for 10,000 years like me??’

I was a little nervous about contacting you, but I steeled myself..

Let’s send a KakaoTalk message to a cute girl in our class.!

I wrote a short message saying ‘Hello’ and pressed the button to send it..

‘'I'm bored, so I'll send it to Gyeongwon too.' Since we were with men, I said “hi” in a more playful way..

After waiting for a while, I received a KakaoTalk message, and it was Kyungwon’s reply..

〈Optician: I can’t use my phone because it’s an academy..〉

I am <Oki. I just tried contacting you. “Good job,” I replied..

‘It's an academy. It matches the image. Why isn’t Seona replying??’

What is Suna doing now??

It reminded me of Seon-ah’s apartment that was falling apart..

‘···You said you live with your grandmother. What kind of home environment is this?.’

Is there a computer at home? The TV?

I was curious about what Seona was doing with her time right now..

After about 20 minutes of sitting on the bench in vain, my cell phone finally rang..

[KakaoTalk~]

I quickly opened my phone and saw a KakaoTalk message from Suna..

‘Oooh!’

I was so excited for some unknown reason that I waved my hands and shook my head..

‘I got a KakaoTalk message from a girl.!’

my heart tickles.

I checked KakaoTalk with a smile on my face..

〈Yoon Seon-ah: Yes, hello.〉

I sat on the bench and looked at Suna's KakaoTalk and grinned. When the kids passing by looked at me, I quickly adjusted my facial expression..

“Hmmm.”

Suna, this guy. 'Hello haha', it's so cute.

I tried to calm down and type a reply, but my hands were shaking..

Why am I like this?.

Was the influence of Boys’ Middle School and Boys’ High School large?.

I was so embarrassed for no reason that I laughed and cringed..

“Ah, is this too short? Should I write it down a bit longer?.”

I grinned and thought to myself and stamped my feet around..

I'm excited!

Suddenly, I felt eyes on me and looked up to see a cheese-colored cat passing by staring at me..

“What are you looking at, man?!”

“Nyaaa.”

I picked up my phone again and sent a KakaoTalk message to Suna..

〈Lee Jun: What were you doing? lol〉

After waiting for another 5 minutes, which felt like an hour, a KakaoTalk message arrived..

〈Yoon Seon-ah: I was just dazing around haha.〉

Umm, what does it mean?.

There's no way I was really dazed.,

Is this a speaking style only for women??

‘How should I spend my time here?……

I've been racking my brain, but I'm not sure.

How should I reply to a comment like this?!

I'm an asshole so I don't know much about this..

As I was writhing alone, giggling and thinking happily, drool accidentally dribbled out of my open mouth..

A local woman whom I had met earlier when I was at the playground discovered the scene.

comes running in surprise.

“student! After all, it's uncomfortable somewhere, right? Where is your guardian??”

“Madam, ma’am, please go! I'm so fine!”

This woman is also very foolish..

[Your understanding of the character Choi Ja-ok has increased significantly to 20..]

I sent the lady off and quickly sent her a KakaoTalk message..

〈Lee Jun: Oh really? Haha I have the house key

I lost it so I'm waiting for my dad outside.〉

‘KakaoTalk~’

This time the reply came quickly..

<Seonah Yoon: Huh, really? ㅠㅠ Where is it outside??〉

Thump, thud, thud, thud.

〈Lee Jun: Just sitting on the bench in the apartment..〉

‘KakaoTalk~’

＜Yoon Seon-a: Why are you in a PC room somewhere?〉

〈Lee Jun: I happened to leave my wallet behind today.〉

Usually, Suna is often hesitant and slurs the ending of her sentences, but on KakaoTalk, she spoke in a normal tone..

‘Is it obvious? But I'm against it.’

I used to talk comfortably with Suna when I saw her in person, but strangely,

I'm so excited that I'm fidgeting for no reason..

〈Yoon Seon-ah: There is no place to go next door or anything.?〉

〈Lee Jun: Yeah, nothing… -r〉

〈Seonah Yoon: What about your parents? When are you coming??〉

〈Lee Jun: Well, about 2 hours.?〉

〈Yoon Seon-ah: Oh really? ㅠㅠ There’s a lot left. 〒〉

〈Lee Jun: Yes T〉

Then the subsequent KakaoTalk ended..

I waited for about 10 minutes, but there was no reply..

‘Well, this trend is not good..’

I was just planning to kill time by talking about my daily life, but when I told him I was out of the house, the conversation got a little more serious.?

The conversation continues in the same pattern..

‘Maybe I was whining too much.’

There is still no reply from Suna..

‘Should we talk about a different topic and send it again??’

But if I send KakaoTalk again when I haven't received a reply, doesn't that seem like I'm being too impatient??

What should I do?.

I'm struggling and complaining because I'm needlessly overindulged..

‘Hmm, if you do this... No, that's why you... like this? no, that's a bit.’

Suddenly, I remembered Suna's clearly burdened expression when we held hands in front of the cafeteria..

Of course, right after that, time went back and it became like it never happened..

‘Ah, I want to make friends in a more natural way without making unnecessary mistakes..’

I don't know anything about a girl's heart..

‘Here like this… Or something like this.’

Boo. My head hurts. I thought too much and got burnout..

Some kids play around with girls like nothing is wrong, but why do I think so much??

‘What is he thinking now, how should I act?’

Those worries kept going through my head and I quickly became tired. Still no reply from Suna.

‘Phew, that's it. Let's just relax.’

I liked it at first because I chatted with a girl on KakaoTalk.

However, there was so much to worry about that I quickly started getting cramps in my head..

My personality, two sides explained by the system.

···When I think about it, I think that's just an explanation for puberty..

A two-faced contradiction in that you have a strong desire to impress your friends, but you worry that they will leave you if you make a mistake, and you end up not being able to date them deeply..

‘I'm tired. I'm really tired. This is why I can't make deep friends.’

The same goes for Gyeongwon..

I'm a fan of a guy with high pride

It must be difficult to be a good friend.

I probably have to constantly prove that I'm just as good as you..

Is there a friend who will never leave me no matter what I do??

A trustworthy friend who just laughs even when you show weakness and never looks down on you..

A friend who doesn't need to show off, just being me is enough and that's enough..

Then, you won't have to worry about things like this and you will be able to live comfortably..

It was then.

‘KakaoTalk~’

〈Yoon Seon-ah: Then, would you like to come to my house and wait??〉
