Sixth Ghost Story - Songs Banned from the College Scholastic Ability Test (9)

“Dressing room, here.”

We crouched down the hallway for a while, found a sign saying it was Lee Donghae's dressing room, and stuck close to the door..

Rattling, rattling.

the door was locked.

But I heard a murmur inside..

“someone is inside.”

“Porinces, I guess?.”

“Tell him to open it, manager..”

dripping.

When I knocked, there was a commotion inside again, and after a while, I heard a girl's voice through the door..

[Who are you??]

···Who do you say it is??

Ghost Story Club Manager?

“that is.”

As I stuttered with an embarrassed expression, Seon-ah stood near the door and answered for me.

was.

“Porinces... is that right? I'm here to save you. So……

A brief discussion can be heard through the door, and then a question is asked again from inside..

[Prove that you're sane.]

“Well, I don't know. How should I prove it?……

[Let me start by telling you who and where..]

“We are students from a school nearby.”

[student?]

Gossip and gossip.

[Where is it?]

“Nakseong High School..”

[Why is a student at a broadcasting station?…….]

“I heard there is a music program and stage being recorded this evening.……

[I came to see the stage.?]

“yes.”

For now, I tried to answer as it went..

Then, the sound of discussion was heard for a moment, and then the lock was unlocked with a clanging sound..

[Come in.]

“···thank you.”

I winked at the members and slowly opened the door and entered the dressing room..

As we entered the dressing room, five girls were looking at us with nervous expressions, each holding a weapon such as a lamp or a cane..

Stage costumes with tight-fitting shirts and ribbons, short skirts, and flashy makeup to highlight the slender body..

Big eyes and a thin jawline that will make men's hearts flutter the moment they see you..

Five pretty ladies standing on the border between adults and girls.

I was speechless for a moment as the exclamation ‘Wow, she’s pretty’ came into my head..

Standing before my eyes was the best girl group of our time, Porincess..

“excuse me······

One of the members spoke while fluttering his long eyelashes..

Only then did I come to my senses and open my mouth..

“Are you Foreign Seth who sang this song??”

Girls nodding their heads slowly.

“Do you have any idea why this phenomenon occurred??”

Foreign Seth hesitates and looks at me as I get straight to the point..

“Aren't you here to save us??”

One of the members asks in a hushed voice..

I shook my head..

“Have you seen the internet??”

“yes.”

“There is no safe place anywhere in Korea now..”

Members quietly watching.

“Then why did you come??”

“I'm trying to find the cause of this incident..”

“I plan to find it and solve it..”

Then one of the bold girls who had been watching stepped forward and answered in a sharp voice..

“Who are you to solve the case??”

“who is the leader?”

“I didn’t even know that.?”

Hands on waist with astonished expression

A confident girl who raises.

“I am the leader. What am I curious about??”

“Anything related to the current strange phenomenon. You're the one who sang the song..”

“Really, really.”

The leader clicked his tongue with a shocked expression..

And then the members started talking amongst themselves again, and then they glared at us and said,.

“I don't know what kind of detective game you're playing, but I'll answer everything I know.

I'll give it to you, so if you're not here to save me, don't bother me and just take your time..”

The confident leader of a girl group with a pretty face.

‘They're not criminals?’

I was taken aback for a moment, but I pulled myself together and started asking what I needed to ask..

“People who listen to your new song are addicted and are becoming zombies who only spread the song. Do the singers themselves have any clue about this phenomenon??”

“I don't know. We are also in a state of panic. All we did was just let the agency

I just received the new song and worked hard..”

Do I really know nothing?.

In that case, I thought it would be better to delve into the song itself rather than Porincess..

“You said your agency gave you a new song. Who composed and wrote the lyrics??”

“They are adults. A famous composer and lyricist appointed by the agency. I met him a few times while recording, but I don't know anything in detail. But they're not suspicious people..”

The leader answered clearly..

Although she was probably a year or two older than me, my beautiful and confident sister clearly answered every question I asked, and for a moment I was taken aback..

But you still have to ask everything you want to ask.

“Everyone who heard this song went crazy, but why are the people who heard the song the most okay??”

“Do we have to explain?”

Lee Deo glares at me in an interrogating tone..

Some members cringe at my attitude

Some people get scared, and some members even glare at them..

“yes. This is the part you need to explain..”

The leader purses his lips and answers poignantly at my attitude of pushing forward resolutely..

“I don't know. Maybe we're sane because it's effective in spreading the song..”

It made sense..

Next to me, Gyeongwon also nodded..

If anyone's goal is to spread this song, it would certainly be more effective if Porinces and the girls were in good shape..

That way, I will be active here and there and appear on TV..

“Do you really know nothing more than that??”

“yes.”

“Have you ever felt any strange feelings while singing??”

“ no.”

Feeling like I hit a wall.

I thought these people would know something

But.

After thinking about it, I returned to the question about the people who created the song..

“I said earlier that composers and lyricists are not suspicious people. How did you determine that??”

“Those people were the first to go crazy..”

“in what way?”

“The composer committed suicide by piercing his ear with an awl because he couldn't stop singing, and the lyricist was sent to a mental hospital after his family discovered that he was writing the lyrics backwards at home until his fingers got stuck..”

I was speechless for a moment as the terrible sight flashed in my mind..

The leader of Porincess always responded with a sharp voice to my interrogating attitude..

When he saw our shocked expressions at the terrible ending of the composer and lyricist, he added with an expression of guilt..

“It all happened yesterday. The manager left as soon as he entered the broadcasting station this morning. He was on his knees, clinging to us and making a fuss, asking us to stop singing, so the officials dragged him away..”

Getting out of a large van seen on YouTube

Live stage promotional greeting video starting with.

I think the manager also turned around right after that video was filmed..

“Phew.”

What more questions should we ask here?.

I looked back at Gyeongwon and Sunah for a moment..

Both had serious faces, but their eyes showed that there was nothing to be guessed about..

I tapped my foot, made eye contact with the waiting leader, and opened my mouth..

If this happens, that's all I asked for

Probably not.

“Lyrics of the chorus. Did you know that if you play it backwards, a certain sentence will be completed??”

“···yes?”

At that moment, the leader's eyes widened..

Looks like a beautiful female character you only see in animations.

I was nervous at the thought of how a person could have eyes that big, but I held back and asked again..

“ Didn't you know??”

An expression that said I had no idea.

“The lyrics of that chorus, that song too

Was it written by someone named Saga??”

“Well, that's……

The leader was visibly embarrassed, then turned his head and quietly discussed something with his members..

After a while, the leader looked at me again and asked, as if opinions had been resolved..

“Isn’t this asking too one-sidedly? We also have questions. How did you know we were here? If you answer that first, I will tell you..”

How did you come to find out that they were hiding in the dressing room of this large building?.

‘You might be curious..’

That's the truth, there's nothing I can't answer.

I found the most youthful looking face..

A middle school student member who is one year younger than us. The girl was hiding among her sisters and shaking..

I tried to call them by name, but I was so uninterested in girl groups that I didn't know the members' names..

It may seem rude, but I had no choice but to point out..

“In the video the youngest person over there took today

I came here after reading your lips asking for help..”

right | 99

At that moment, the youngest's face looked like 'Ah!' It became noticeably brighter with an expression that said,.

The rest of the sisters looked at the youngest in surprise..

That was a fact that even Seon-ah and Gyeong-won did not know, so they also looked at me in surprise..

“···Is it true??”

When one of the members asked soothingly, the youngest nodded slowly with a happy expression..

“Ah, I see you noticed. also… I was waiting. If you're a fan of mine, there's at least one person... He said he would come……

“oh my god. What prince are you waiting for? I'm going crazy……

The leader shook his head as if he was dumbfounded and shook his wavy hair..

And finally, he looked at me with his eyes slightly relaxed and opened his mouth..

“all right. When I asked, he said something, but it was absurd... The lyrics of that refrain. It is true that he received it from the lyricist, but strictly speaking, he received it from the lyricist.

The lyrics are not written by the person himself..”

“sure?”

“There is a rumor that if you walk alone somewhere in this broadcasting station, you can hear a woman muttering. The lyricist heard it while walking around here at night for work, and it stuck in his head so much that he used it as a refrain..”

And then she shrugs her shoulders.

“I heard it too.”

“…Is the place where that person was walking near waiting room number 3??”

“Oh my, that's right. “How did you know?” Seona, Gyeongwon, and I.

Our three eyes met at the same time..

It was also here.

“Can you guide me there??”

“No way. It's too dangerous.”

A leader who flatly rejects.

“3The waiting room is right in the middle of the 5th floor. That floor is dedicated to the waiting room, but it was packed with singers due to a live music program being broadcast this evening, and no one came down..”

“no one came down……

“It's dangerous because it's crowded with singers singing our songs..”

Has Porincess’ new song literally taken over the music industry?.

“I think something will be resolved if I go there..”

“why? What's in that waiting room??”

“Umm”

Actually, I don't know that either..

When I turn the lyrics of the song backwards, it seems like someone is buried there, but I have no way of knowing who it is..

But if it stays like this, the situation remains the same..

“3waiting room. There might be a clue there to solve this situation..”

I gave it a try.

“What clue? What is the basis??”

“that… That's the lyrics……

I hesitated for a moment.

5th floor full of singers.

Going through that and going to waiting room number 3 is practically the same as going to die..

No matter how suspicious the song's lyrics may be, can you take the risk in a situation where your life is at stake?.

“Why the lyrics? Anyway, let's go together

I can't. It's too dangerous. We'll hide here until the military sorts out the situation. Still, it's enough because I taught you something.?”

It may seem like a secret, but just like I am the manager of the ghost story club, that girl is also the leader of a group called Porincess..

Her judgment is a perfectly normal conclusion seeking the safety of her people..

Rather, if you look at it from a general perspective, I am an unreasonable person who wants to reach that point by exterminating the members..

‘But common sense solves the situation.

I'm not losing. You have to respond to extraordinary things in an extraordinary way..’

To solve this situation, whether it's porridge or rice, you have to somehow find the place called waiting room number 3 in the song's lyrics and come face to face with someone buried there..

Even though we were the same leader, that was the difference between that girl and me..

While I spend generously on the members and try to move forward with an imperfect solution, she tries to stay safely here with the members..

‘Of course, the difference in position takes time.

Although it depends on whether it can be turned or not..’

Even if we call it our ghost story club, the only three people left are me, Seon-ah, and Gyeong-won..

However, if you succeed in persuading that leader, as many as five more people will join..

3Of course, the probability of success will be much higher if 8 people go than if 8 people go..

‘What should I do? How should I roast and boil it and take it with me?.’

The members of our club who once again believed in my poor logic and stayed with me until this point.

I felt grateful to.

‘After I solve the case, I'll have to buy him a hamburger again..’

“Joo, Jun... Let's go by ourselves.”

As I stood there worrying, Suna tugged on my sleeve as if she couldn't help it..

“Okay, manager. I guess I can't help it. Or, if you go and wake up Deok-Hoon in front of the elevator,?”

I quietly looked at each and every member of Porincess..

“It's no use glaring. Just go now.”

Five cute and pretty girls.

As I slowly observed them, I discovered something..

“… Are you going or not? If you want to hide, you can go to the next room. It's empty so leave it alone. Anyway, we'll use this dressing room..”

As I continued to stand silently, the leader spoke informally as if slightly annoyed..

But my eyes are on the youngest.

she wants to say something.

“Do you still want to stay here? huh?”

“···Just wait a moment.”

Right now, my eyes are focused on the youngest of the members, the soft, light pink lips of someone who hasn't looked like a child yet..

[“eye. tooth. Did you notice?.”]

[“Pan. this. That's right. Ah, yo.“]

Move your lips silently towards me so that other members cannot see you.

she.

This is what I've been saying since the last video..

What on earth do you want to say?.

What do you want me to notice?.

As I couldn't take my eyes off the youngest's lips, the leader followed my gaze and smiled..

“You're in love with our Dasom. fool.”

The youngest member was shocked and pursed his mouth..

why?

It's not allowed to be discovered by other members.?

why?

“Hey, Jun.……

Seona fidgets and grabs my sleeve..

“just… Let's get out quickly

[“eye. tooth. I noticed. Me..”]

[“pho. Lynn. count. s.”]

I see..

That's how it happened.

‘I get it now, it's okay.’

I nodded at her..

The youngest child closed his eyes as if relieved and looked at me with an expression of expectation for something from me..

The clues circling in my head are coming together and slowly coming to fruition..

The feeling of putting a puzzle together.

Roughly enough to get an idea of ​​the overall picture..

Of course, the pieces are still missing one by one

Although we lost.

For example, why on earth is that person buried there? Questions to ask.

That's impossible to know at this point when the world has gone to shit..

After confirming the truth and turning back time, this will only be known through the news..

‘someone buried there.’

Until now, I thought this was something I could only find out by arriving at waiting room number 3 and tearing up the floor myself, but it seems that I can find out it surprisingly easily right here and now..

And that will play a decisive role in persuading the leader and getting people to join at once without the need for elaborate explanations..

“Is our Dasom that pretty? I can't take my eyes off you.”

The leader sneered once again.

“yes, it's so pretty.”

Suna looked at me with a shocked face..

Gyeongwon also opens his mouth with an expression asking what are you doing?.

“···oh.”

The leader was shocked by my answer, but soon

I narrowed my eyes with a bewitching expression..

“Then, could you stand at the entrance and watch to see who is coming? You will become the knight who protects our pretty princesses. how?”

“Is that so??”

She winks at my answer, showing off her lively charm..

“huh. Please do that. Now, get out of here, quickly. Bring your friends too.”

“But I think.”

I looked around at them slowly and said.

“It's not about protecting who comes.,

I guess we just have to wait and see who leaves..”

“···what?”
