[ghost story point : 202]

[causality : 11%]

The next day, 9 o'clock in the morning.

The first day of midterm exams has begun.

Starting today, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. You have to take a total of 8 exams in 3 days..

‘The first class is math..’

I wasn't very confident in math.

In the case of science and Korean history, you can get good grades even if you memorize it a day in advance, but in math, you need to have strong skills to solve applied problems..

The homeroom teacher gave appropriate encouragement and the assembly ended, and after a while the supervisor came in..

‘Oh, fuck. It's harder than I thought.’

I felt it when I received the test paper and solved it halfway through..

3Since I returned after a year of taking exams, I thought I would be able to easily solve the first midterm exam questions of the first semester of my freshman year..

But when I actually looked at the test paper, it wasn't that easy..

First, I quickly looked through the problems and solved the ones that could be solved first..

As I was scribbling down problems that required application using unusual methods, I ran out of paper..

“You must not touch the computer marker right now. It's cheating.”

Soon, the student behind me came to collect the OMR card, and I also handed over the card, hiding my disappointment..

And it's time to rest.

While there wasn't enough time to prepare for the next test, the students in the class gathered together and talked about how the test had just gone..

Me, Seona, and Deokhoon naturally gathered at Gyeongwon’s seat..

“What is it? Why are you suddenly coming at me?.”

“Aren’t you the best at studying?.”

“How was it, Gyeongwon? I think I just found math difficult..”

Gyeongwon nodded to my urgent question..

“It's true that it was difficult. I think the teacher failed to adjust the difficulty level..”

“Phew, after all.”

Seon-ah also swept her heart as if she was relieved..

I guess everyone took the test with the same thoughts..

Hayun was quietly preparing for the next test, and Jinhee was quietly sleeping..

2Teaching is English.

The break was over, and when the bell rang, the atmosphere calmed down again..

In the silence of the students who were quietly preparing for the next exam, the classroom door opened and a sonorous voice suddenly rang out..

Grumbling

“hi guys~!”

Teacher Jang Hwa-eun.

This is a very energetic greeting, unlike the full-time test proctor who came in quietly while paying attention to the students who were likely to be sensitive due to the exam..

We put our heads out and pretended to recognize the unexpectedly happy face, and the teacher also gave us a quick glance..

“This time it's English; I know I'll get scolded if I don't see it.!”

I thought this was probably my first time meeting a teacher for something other than a club..

This is because our teacher is in charge of English for higher grades than us, so we never encounter first graders..

‘About English, hehe:

I was really confident in English.

It wasn't a subject that required application, and it was a field where knowledge would inevitably accumulate the more you studied. I solved the test paper leisurely, but got stuck in an unexpected ambush called grammar..

Interpretation of passages was a piece of gum for me, who had already studied for three more years, but I didn't pay attention to the parts that required grammar, such as verbs, so I was confused after seeing it for the first time in a long time..

‘Hmm, since the answer to the previous problem and the previous one was number 5, I guess they didn't place the correct answer at number 5.?’

“How was it? I think English was difficult just now..”

“Manager, why don’t you stop whining and get ready for next time?.”

As soon as it was break time, I ran to the other members, making a fuss, and Gyeongwon scolded me..

“Yeah, it was difficult..”

Seona giggled and agreed instead..

Last lesson on the first day of midterms, science.

During the midterm exam period, instead of regular classes, I usually take tests on about three subjects a day and quickly return home before lunch..

As soon as I finish the integrated science test I'm taking, I'll be leaving school right away..

‘It's shit!’

Tests are important, but I was very happy to be able to finish them early..

Grumbling-

Surprisingly, the first-year science teacher who taught us was the one to supervise this test..

Always blunt and expressionless, not interacting much with students, just going to class and leaving..

The science teacher, looking like his usual somewhat gloomy self, silently began handing out test papers without saying hello..

‘Science really is a 10 minute cut..’

It was really.

Compared to math problems, which can only be solved with skill no matter how much you know the concept, science tends to be somewhat memorized..

Even in my past life, I was always a top performer in science, so I started solving problems with confidence..

2Number 4, Number 1, Number 3….

‘good. At this pace, I can sleep for 30 minutes..’

Suddenly I turned my head and saw Jinhee already sleeping..

It's not because you study better than me..

‘3Number 2, Number 4, Number 5……

As I quickly marked the OMR card, it was already the last problem..

‘good. Good speed!’

I raised my marker and looked at the last question..

[36]

It is said that if you remember this problem until you are 20, in the year you turn 20 you will suddenly receive a phone call asking for the answer..

A blind man was stranded on a desert island with his wife..

Just before starving to death, the wife managed to catch a seagull and fed it to her husband, and the two waited for rescue..

A rescue ship arrived a few days later, but unfortunately his wife was already dead..

The man was rescued while grieving alone, and after a long time, he remembered the seagull meat his wife had cooked for him and went to a seagull meat restaurant..

The man took a bite of a piece of meat and committed suicide by stabbing himself in the neck with the fork in front of him..

Why did the man commit suicide??

What is this?.

For a moment, I thought I had seen something wrong, so I rubbed my eyes and read the problem again..

[36. If you remember this problem until you are 20 years old,……』

It's not a mistake.

At the very end of the test paper, instead of a science question, there was a strange ghost story written on it..

There isn't even a view needed to check OMR..

I quietly looked around..

I see some students who have completed their exams fluttering their question papers back and forth and checking from the beginning again..

There is no student who tilts his head like me..

“···Teacher, here.”

I cautiously raised my hand..

The teacher slowly came towards me..

The teacher asks what's going on by nodding his head.

“When I pointed to the last question on the test sheet with my hand, the teacher looked at my test paper quietly..

“Leave it blank.”

He just spat out those words and turned his head and walked away..

What is it.

Was it printed incorrectly?.

‘That can't be possible.’

I chuckled to myself.

‘It's been a month. It's been a while.’

Ding~ dong~ Dang~ dong ♬

The first day of midterm exams is finally over..

As soon as I submitted the OMR card and the teacher left, I quickly went to Gyeongwon’s seat..

Soon Seon-ah and Deok-hoon followed..

Hayun, who had been busy preparing for the next lesson, also joined us, as if she wanted to grade along with us..

Jinhee wasn't sleeping, but she was sitting quietly in the back seat with a sad expression on her face..

“Guys, there was a strange question on my test paper, but yours is?”

“strange question?”

Members tilting their heads.

I snatched the test paper that Suna was quietly holding and compared it with my test paper..

It was fine..

Other club members' exam guidance is normal..

The last question, about a man committing suicide, was only on my test paper..

“Hey guys, would you like to take a look at my test paper??”

“What is this??”

The members are crowding around and looking at my exam paper..

“This, this....”

“It's full of wrong answers.”

“Jun can't study.”

“It's amazing.”

I squealed..

“No, don't! Look at the last question! last problem!”

“Let’s see, question 36? We have up to number 35. hmm. If you remember this problem until you are 20, the year you turn 20 you will suddenly get a phone call asking for the answer.……

Gyeongwon stopped reading, tilted his head and paused..

“It seems like a ghost story.”

ghost story.

The members murmured around me..

“ghost story?”

“What kind of ghost story was this?.”

“I remember something?”

At a time when everyone was talking loudly, Deokhoon stepped in and answered..

“That's a Japanese ghost story. japan.”

“japanese ghost stories?”

“‘It is a ghost story that if you remember the word 'dolphin legs' until you become an adult, the day you turn 20, you will receive a phone call asking 'Do dolphins have legs?' If you answer incorrectly, you will die..”

“ghost story······

Gyeongwon also nodded..

“I remember that too. There is also a ghost story called ‘Purple Mirror’..”

“purple mirror?”

“It's the same as the dolphin's leg from before. The story is that if you remember this word until you become an adult, you will become unhappy, but I remember it was a type of ghost story that used the psychology of remembering in more detail the more you tried to forget it..”

“I was about to ask why that was written on my test paper, but I shook my head..

No, it's not really a question..

It's because I've been so comfortable for the past month, so it's no surprise that ghost stories attack me at strange times..

Gyeongwon and Deokhoon explained and looked at each other proudly as if they had figured something out..

“Hehehe, by the way, Deokhoon, you know ghost stories well.?”

“Ah, if it's related to Japan - well. All. ji.”

It's a ghost story from Japan..

“So what do you think is the answer to this question??”

“Why did the man commit suicide?.”

Two people suddenly no answer.

“I think I've seen it once before, but I can't quite remember..”

Kyungwon tilted his head..

Grumbling-

“The answer sheet came out~”

As we were chatting, the class president of our class, a handsome man with broad shoulders, came into the classroom holding an answer sheet and began writing the answers in large letters on the blackboard..

Among the students noisily comparing their worksheets, someone's mobile phone

The phone rang eerily..

[  》··· ♬… .]

An ominous melody that resonates from a music box like the ringtone from the movie Call Me..

Who is it??

[ ... )... ♬… .]

When I looked closely, the sound came from my pocket..

“what.”

My cell phone was turned off the whole time because of the exam..

Why does it ring?.

It's not even my original ringtone.

I took it out of my pocket and quietly looked at the LCD screen..

[Caller ID restrictions]

[ …♬… .]

The eerie melody gradually grows louder..

“…“Guys.” Ahn Kyung-won noticed my unusual expression..

“What should I do, manager? I'll take it?”

Suna looks at me with a nervous expression..

A noisy classroom due to grading. Meanwhile, a melody rings ominously..

Some students looked at me with annoyed eyes, asking why I didn't answer the phone sooner..

“I'll take it. stay with me.”

Members nodding their heads as if it was obvious.

[ … eww… ♬… .]

Ding_

I placed my finger on the reception button on my phone's screen and pressed it..

And then I slowly put the phone to my ear..

There is silence for a moment.

[Why did the man commit suicide??]

A voice strangely modulated into a mechanical sound was heard through the phone..

I waited for a while but there was nothing else to say..

In the midst of silence.

［oh］

［buy］

［three］

［this］

［Day］

The mechanical sound started counting..

I hurriedly looked at the members, feeling like I needed to answer..

“I'm asking for the right answer.?”

Gyeongwon quickly opened his phone and searched the Internet, and the moment Seonah opened her mouth to say something,.

[time ends.]

Strongly-!

For a moment, I felt like my chest was being squeezed, and then I felt a strong shock to my heart..

Right QW

I close my eyes and fall down clutching my chest..

Seona and Gyeongwon were surprised and supported me..

“Jun! Juna!”

“Manager! What's going on?!”

Consciousness slowly disappears, leaving behind the members making a fuss..

“Manager! manager……

“Junaa... ah......

[you are dead.]

[Restart from checkpoint.]

Nakseong High School 5th floor.

club room.

lazy lunch time.

Jinhee is lying down and sleeping after putting four chairs together in the corner of the club room..

“Huh, huh.”

Deokhoon is walking down the hallway, stealing a chair with both hands full from the reading room..

“Just a moment, Deokhoon. I'll pass by.”

Hayun walks past Deokhun, holding a toothbrushing tool..

and.

“Jun, your exam study is going well.?”

Seona comes to me and asks me as I stand still..

Instead of answering, Suna just looks at me blankly, standing there dumbly..

I looked around and said.

“Hey guys.”

Members of the ghost story club quietly raise their heads.

“I just died……
