fifth ghost story -
4th period never ends (6)
“Pooh-ooh- Pooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-”
“Boop… Boop… boo whoop……
A quiet fast food restaurant.
Suna is whining and breathing on me with a straw..
“Boop… Boop… boo whoop……
“Whoop whoop_ ”
My face turns bright red and I puff out my cheeks.
Sunah, pushing air into me.
“Pooh-oop-!”
In the end, I couldn't hold back and squirted..
“Hahahaha……
« 2”
Sun-ah's face is bright red as if she doesn't know what's going on when I spit out a straw..
“Jun, why?……?”
“Oh no. just……
If you say your face is funny, they might hate it..
I picked up the fallen straw again.
“This... seems too small. To breathe in.”
“Ugh……
Suna gasps in agreement..
But here, unlike the previous dream, the employees are actively moving around the store, so the gas pipe cannot be used..
“There doesn't seem to be a space nearby that is so closed that you can't breathe.……
A little bigger… … . Is there something we can do to breathe life into each other?.
“Jun, this paper cup… What about……?”
Suna points to the paper cup on the table..
“see……
I picked it up and looked around..
‘This is a regular cup.’
too short.
If you make a mistake, you might end up kissing me.
“Is there a large cup somewhere??”
“in the trash can……
“wait. I'll get a new one.”
Naturally, I want to look through the trash can.
After stopping Ah, I went down to the counter on the first floor..
Still, people are going to use it, so I have to get a new one..
“Hey, sorry, but can I have a large cup of drink??”
One of the part-time workers who was busy handling deliveries nervously puts down her cup..
‘It's not cheap.’
I came back up to the second floor carrying a large paper cup..
“Drill the bottom here and make a hole. And breathe on me
Put it in.”
In this way, the passage is much wider and the area is safer than the straw before..
“Whoop whoop-”
“···Whoop!”
“ Whoop whoop-”
“···Ugh!”
I tried my best not to look at Suna, who puffed out her cheeks and took a deep breath..
“Poofuup-poof! Kellogg! Kellogg……
Seon-a suddenly coughs into the cup, as if she caught a case while pushing her breath into me..
“Kellogg, Kellogg……
I took the cup off and wiped Suna’s saliva that had splattered around her mouth..
“···are you okay?”
“Heh... heh, it's difficult..”
Suna wipes sweat with a red face.
It should be me who is having trouble breathing, but why is Sun-ah, who is breathing, having trouble?.
I wiped my mouth with my sleeve and explained the method again..
“Okay? You are responsible for inhaling and exhaling the outside air. All you have to do is exhale into this paper cup. difficult
There's no reason at all.”
“ Umm”
The key is to just blow carbon dioxide until I lose consciousness..
“Then again.”
“huh……
We touch each other's lips on both sides of the cup again.
I felt the guests around me glance at me..
“Boop… Boop… boo whoop……
Suna has a tougher side than she looks
When I let out my breath, I did so without acknowledging it..
Thanks to this, I almost coughed several times due to the sudden pressure rushing into my lungs..
‘Ugh… Wow……
grasp-!
“Cough… ! call……
This time I heard the story..
Because Suna blew air with too much force..
“Cough, Cough……
“Joo, Juna……
Suna fidgets as if she feels sorry.
Hayun treats you well and delicately..
I have a headache that feels like it's going to split my head and I'm coughing..
“Cluck, cluck… Just a little bit weakly
“I'm sorry……
Suna looks at me with an apologetic expression..
at that moment.
“hey? sir?”
As I catch my breath, I look to the side and see the nervous part-timer from earlier standing there..
“ Are you okay??”
The guests also see us making noise and our faces turning red..
Well, if a man and woman in school uniform were sticking their faces into paper cups in a store, anyone would be interested..
“sir?”
Sunah looked at the part-time worker with a nervous expression..
I waved my hands and stood up..
“Cough... yes, it's okay. It's okay so go.”
“I'm sorry, but please leave the store.
Hey, I think it will work.”
The part-time worker said with a troubled expression..
“There are some customers who are uncomfortable.
west……
“Yes, yes, I will just pack my bags and leave. You can go.”
I answered in an annoyed tone..
‘Damn, how realistic are dreams?.’
The part-time worker frowned and went down to the first floor..
“Seon-ya, let’s go to the bathroom and try again..”
« huh ”
"
The bathroom was in the corner of the second floor..
I went ahead, worrying about whether I should go to the men's restroom or the women's restroom, and Suna followed me..
‘There's no reason to choose the women's restroom at this time.?’
I opened the door and went into the toilet compartment..
Sunah entered the men's bathroom while looking around..
“inside the toilet compartment.”
We entered the compartment.
I immediately locked the door..
“it's okay. If you do this, no one can disturb you.”
“Ugh.”
I looked at the hesitant Suna as if to tell her to focus and began to explain..
“You know that staying in a confined space for a long time makes you drowsy.?”
“···huh.”
“That's what happens due to lack of oxygen, and now we have to recreate it..”
Since there is no small enclosed space nearby where oxygen can be consumed quickly, a temporary solution is created by blocking the respiratory tract with a paper cup..
However, since the paper cup is smaller than the volume of one breath, Suna places her mouth on the other side..
We crouched down in that narrow toilet cubicle that was less than 1 pyeong in size..
“Okay, let's get started..”
So I put the paper cups together again and started breathing..
“…Whoop-!”
“···Hueup.”
“···Whoop-!”
“…Whoop.”
Inhale, exhale.
Inhale, exhale.
Suna delivers the breath in a much more stable flow than before..
If things continue like this, we can succeed this time..
“···Whoop-!”
“···Whoop.”
“···Whoop-!”
“···Whoop.”
When consciousness gradually fades.
Suddenly-!
Suddenly the door to the men's bathroom opens and a commotion is heard..
“Those students earlier went in here. Like men and women.”
“Hey there, customer! Are you there? sir!" A part-time worker opened the bathroom door and came in accompanied by other employees..
And he stood in front of our locked toilet stall..
“Open the door! What are you doing inside? Come out!”
I started banging on the door..
I can hear other employees making noises and entering the next room..
Seon-ah looked back in embarrassment and quickly
Start breathing quickly.
“···Whoop-! Whoop-!”
“···Whoop. ···Husup.”
Slowly, my mind becomes hazy and my consciousness becomes blurred..
“···Whoop-! Whoop-! Whoop-!”
“···Whoop. ···Whoop. ···Whoop
At the same time, staff knocking on the door of the compartment we were in..
“hey! Come out! “Come out!” Bang bang! Bang bang bang!
Meanwhile, you can hear a male employee climbing onto the toilet from the next cubicle..
“Hmm! I'll go up!”
“…Whoop-! Whoop-! Whoop-!”
“···Whoop. ··♦Whoop. ···Husup.”
“hey! students!”
A male employee steps on the toilet in the next stall and looks down at us from across the stall..
“You two are doing something strange together! Come out quickly!”
In front, you can hear the sound of a lock being turned with a coin..
Click-click-
“···Whoop-! Whoop-! Husup-! Husup-! Whoop-! Whoop-! Whoop-!”
“···Whoop. ···Whoop. ···Whoop. ···Whoop.
···Whoop. ···Whoop. ···Whoop. ···Whoop.”
“Come out! hey!”
“Woo-woo-up-”
The employees opened the door, grabbed Seon-ah's shoulders and pushed her down..
In the midst of the chaos, Suna is holding on and trying desperately to give me breath..
With the last breath I took, my vision went blank..
* * *
Exciting.
Exciting.
Let's open our eyes.
No, I can't open my eyes..
Excited. Exciting.
I have no strength in my eyelids.
What is this feeling? And where am I.
Very comfortable. My body is floating..
Excited. Exciting.
It's my mother's voice.
Mom's voice echoes around me.
No way, this place… Is it your mother's stomach?.
Even though my head was blank, my thoughts began to connect..
The dreams so far were not born indiscriminately..
It was chronologically, the reverse of the nightmare I had..
A dream that begins with the four of us taking a Korean history class together in a classroom..
The background of that nightmare is today..
Hayoon left there, and the three of us moved on to the next dream. The fast food restaurant we encountered was the nightmare we had the day after meeting the smiling woman..
In other words, it is a dream that I had in the past in time..
Next, the entrance ceremony I faced with Suna was the nightmare of the head explosion incident that had been bothering me for three years..
And now, having gone one step further into the past, I have skipped a whopping 20 years of time and come to my mother's womb..
Does this mean that the trauma I experienced from recent events was like the stress of being reborn?.
So suddenly, time skips to the first stress, the first nightmare..
Have I returned to my fetal days?.
Excited. Exciting.
···This world is full of stress.
But it's really comfortable here.
Just here... Eating the nutrients provided by mom.
Without thinking about anything, just blankly… comfortably.
While floating.
Excited. Exciting.
Exciting.
Exciting.
Exciting.
Suddenly, Suna’s face comes to mind..
In the bathroom of a fast food restaurant, he must be fidgeting while leaving me asleep..
Seonah too. It's just a dream anyway.
Exciting.
Gyeongwon... in a dream higher than that... You'll wait for me while eating french fries.
Exciting.
Hayoon... Are you trying to run away from the monsters?.
I think something strange happened with Hayun... What was it.
I don't know. It's annoying to remember.
Exciting.
Consciousness floated again for a while..
Slowly, a sense of crisis begins to form in my mind..
I guess I rested too long?
It might be okay for a while.
One day like this.
one month.
1year.
10If you spend a year in a dream.
Can the kids survive?.
Excited. Exciting.
I see.
This ghost story traps people in a dream like this..
It's eating away at my mental strength... You're the type that kills..
Exciting.
But how can I... lose more consciousness?
I guess I just need to do it one more time..
How come I'm alone.
Excited. Exciting.
hang yourself by the umbilical cord.
Even though I was unconscious, I slowly wriggled my feet and swam in the amniotic fluid..
I walked around for a while looking for something to catch on..
And felt the umbilical cord, twirled again until it was twisted around the neck..
Exciting.
Exciting.
Done.
I'm out of breath.
I try to control it as much as possible so that I don't suffocate to death..
The feeling of frustration continues again.
After waiting for a while, my mind flies somewhere again..
In the mother's womb, it's already a fetus..
Does this mean we go further into the past?.
where am i going?
Exciting.
Exciting.
Consciousness is sucked somewhere.
Paaaaat-!
“why
“that
“…… I'll allow this part, so it's okay..”
“Huh?!”
When I opened my eyes, I was in the bathroom of a fast food restaurant..
Suna is looking at me worriedly..
I can feel the bustle around me, with employees calling 119..
“Joo... Jun... It's okay.?”
“Heo, heo, heo.”
What was it.
Who did you meet?.
I don't remember much.
However, I only have the feeling that I met a nice person after a long time and heard something important..
have to think of it.
However, as you wake up and your mind becomes clearer, the content of your dream becomes increasingly blurry..
Yes.
i am waking up now.
“Seonya.”
“huh?”
I can feel the nerves twitching in one corner of my head..
The consciousness that has been asleep until now is slowly awakening..
I felt a strange floating sensation, as if I was submerged in water and floating somewhere..
I held Suna’s hand and shouted.
“Seon-ya, let’s go back.!”
“huh！”
Sunah nodded vigorously..
At the same time, the floor collapsed..
* * *
“manager!!”
Once again inside a fast food restaurant.
But this time it was in the middle of the store on the first floor..
“Ugh... Gyeongwon.”
As I pressed my forehead and raised my back, Gyeongwon hurriedly came to me..
“It was successful?”
“huh… Success.”
Next to me, Suna wakes up with a sullen expression and looks around..
Hearing my answer that Gyeongwon was successful, he opened his mouth with a look of relief..
“Manager, I thought about it carefully while I was waiting here. I remembered what the four of us were doing in real life and fell asleep at the same time..”
“Really? What is it?”
I cried out in surprise..
That's right! Then there was that!
What kind of situation are we in reality now??
The four of us fell asleep together while doing something.
Where is it??
Gyeongwon raised his glasses and answered with a smile..
“Even if I tell you now, you won’t believe me. Wake up and check.”
“huh? What is it? You're curious!”
Cuckoo cuckoo, the guy who laughs and shakes his head.
“Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. However, it would be very absurd, a bit much..”
Suna approaches us, absentmindedly smoothing her hair..
Gyeongwon also turned his head to look at Seonah and nodded..
“I had a hard time. Yoon Seon-ah.”
“Hehehe.”
At that moment, the inside of the store shook violently and the ceiling poured down..
* * *
“Mom told me to go to church, but what the hell are you doing?-”
Umm’’
I slowly got up, pressing my forehead again, and found myself inside our class..
However, there were no students and it was quiet..
I can only vaguely hear the voice of someone imitating my mother complaining from far away in the hallway..
“Oh my, my head.”
Gyeongwon and Seonah stood up next to each other, covering their heads..
Hayun is not visible..
It's probably well hidden somewhere..
The surroundings shake and the world is about to collapse once again..
At the same time, my consciousness suddenly went somewhere.
I feel like I'm going up.
I spit out an anxious thought that suddenly occurred to me..
“Hey, Gyeongwon, Seonya. if… What if this is just my dream and you guys just imagined it too??”
If I've been doing a one-man show by myself so far?
That feeling of anxiety suddenly came over me..
Gyeongwon answered, raising his glasses amidst the collapsing rubble..
“I hope not, Manager..”
Next to me, Suna looks at me and smiles quietly..
“See you later, Jun.……
The ceiling falls down and hits us..
At the same time, I finally feel myself fully awakening to consciousness..
