The eighth ghost story -
cursed midterm (3)
The day before the midterm exam, lunch time.
I explained what I had just experienced to the members gathered in the club room..
“what!”
After hearing the explanation, Gyeongwon exclaimed as if he was astonished..
“How could that happen?.”
“It's true. I died like that and just came back..”
The guy shaking his head.
But Suna is looking at me with a serious expression..
“I believe it, Jun.……
oh oh!
I was suddenly moved..
“Mi, thank you for trusting me!”
“Hehehe
Suna smiles with a blush.
“Actually, I think I know the answer……
“really?”
Suna whispered something to me who was startled..
I was dumbfounded by the answer, but there was definitely nothing else that could be said to be correct..
As I was wondering, “How does Suna know this?” she whispered and added,.
“I think I would do that if it were me……
···I see.
I cleared my throat, looked around at the members once again, and asked.
“How about you guys? Can you believe what I just said??”
Hayun quietly nodded..
Gyeongwon also sighs and has no choice but to accept it..
The four of us are able to accept it quickly because we have once experienced a ghost story in a dream, and once shared the commotion associated with a haunted song constantly ringing in our ears..
‘Of course, in the case of the song incident, I just heard about my experience..’
Deok-hoon and Jin-hee look dumbfounded as this is their first time being involved in a strange phenomenon..
Deokhoon soon crosses his arms and lets out a voice full of complaints..
“I don't believe it, but isn't that a Japanese ghost story??”
“Oh, right. You said that earlier too!”
“A purple mirror or something……
At that moment, Gyeongwon intervened from the side..
“Oh Deok-hoon, you. I think you know something. Purple mirror. I also know-”
“Oi Oi- Oh my gosh. stop.”
Deok-hoon holds out his hand to stop Gyeong-won from speaking and shakes his head..
“Wouldn't it be too greedy to monopolize the explanation? This is my ‘share’.”
“Hehehe. I can't suppress my instinct to explain things... I apologize for that..”
“Ah - it's okay. That's your chow show. Because it’s an ‘advantage’.”
“I see. Hehehe.”
“Kukkukkuk.”
“You too.”
“Cucumber Cucumber.”
“Two little cubs, standing up.”
“energy… Stand up~~~!
“Standing Kudesuioot!”
When Jinhee, who had been awake and listening quietly, spoke coldly, the two stood up at lightning speed..
“Go to the window and hit me in the head..”
“Head fucked, real!”
“It's real!”
The two of them walked around the desk in a huff and went towards the window, taking the stance of bombing Wonsan..
Jinhee stood up without saying a word, with her hands in her pockets, walked over to the two, and climbed onto the large backboard of Deokhoon, who was putting his head down..
Then, with his leg draped over Gyeongwon's butt right next to him, he nodded his head as if telling me to continue..
“Thank you, Jinhee..”
Over the course of a month, members became closer to each other and there were several minor changes in their relationships..
One of them is what Jinhee looks like now..
Whenever Gyeongwon and Deokhoon couldn't suppress their talents, Jinhee would always step in and beat them up to calm the mood..
“What were you talking about? So, if you remember this story until you are 20 years old, it is a ghost story that you will suddenly receive a phone call.?”
“That’s right, manager… The form of the problem is... It's my first time seeing it... That's basically the gist of it..”
“But he said he got a call when he was 20. Why did I get a call just a day after hearing this?……
While muttering my doubts, I suddenly realized something on my own..
Come to think of it, I’m twenty years old..
My physical age is 17, but if I add 3 years from my previous life, I am now exactly 20 years old.!
Is that why I got a call today as soon as I saw the problem?.
Because I'm already 20 years old.
“Deputy... Manager? Why don't you just talk... even if you're pointing out something??”
Gyeongwon asks while lying face down..
But I couldn't tell you yet.
Although I shared some ghost stories and regressions, I lived for 3 more years..
Even these guys don't know yet about huge details like the status window and the devil..
‘···It would be difficult to explain that to Jinhee and Deokhoon, who are completely newbies..’
If I get a chance someday.
I'd like to share my secret with all these guys, but not now..
I turned the horse around..
“No, just… I'm 17 years old, so why did I get a call?.”
“Hmm... well... now that I think about it.”
Even when Gyeongwon and Deokhoon are head to head, they are exchanging opinions passionately..
“This is... No, if you look at it that way……
“No, rather than that… All I know is... it's a little different.......
Jinhee, sitting quietly on top of him with her arms crossed, yawns..
After a while.
Gyeongwon starts explaining tremblingly..
“Here’s our opinion… The most famous of these types of stories… In the case of the ‘Purple Mirror’ and ‘Dolphin Bridge’ ghost stories from Japan… Depending on the region where the ghost story is handed down… I'm 15 and I'm 20... As much as it was killed locally... Well, I don’t think you need to worry about age.……
“that… Yes, yes……
“Anyway… Problems faced by the manager... I think I read some of the elements somewhere... This is our first time seeing something like this... Actually, I don't know... I don’t think I need to worry too much about the details… silver……
I nodded quietly to the two who responded shakily..
“…I see As expected, our members are the best..”
The next day, midterm exams started again.
Since these were questions I had solved once before, I quickly checked the answers and waited for the test time to end..
1After math period, it's time for 2nd period English..
“Jinhee, sleepy?”
When teacher Jang Hwa-eun asked, Jin-hee suddenly raised her head..
“Still, I have to sleep after taking pictures. Come on, come on..”
Jinhee reluctantly checks the OMR card at the teacher's urging..
Soon it was the third period science test..
““Why don’t you solve the problem?” Since I had solved the problem once before I died, I was just quickly checking the answer and playing around, when the science teacher came and asked a question..
“I solved everything.”
“I think it was roughly taken..”
In fact, there is no trace of any problems solved on my test paper..
“Don't fool around, play it right.”
The teacher blurts out those words and passes by..
But your eyes are still on me.
‘…What a bad guy..’
I had no choice but to hold the test paper
looked into the problem.
Sure enough.
[36]
It is said that 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..
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??
Questions written in the last question.
Why is this strange story written on my exam paper??
‘hmm.’
The phenomenon called ghost stories... First of all, when Deokhoon explained the RPG game as an example, I understood it as an attack from the devil..
From my perspective, it felt like it happened naturally..
For example, in the case of the fake mother, it is said that she did not crawl out from under the school and open the door to our house..
It feels as if it was created at some point in the house..
The song written out of resentment was not written and composed by the demon lord under the school..
People killed people and buried them on the ground, and people wrote lyrics and spread that resentment on TV..
‘This phenomenon is called ghost stories. I don't know the mechanism, but it's clear that the devil is trying to attack me in some way..”
But even taking that into account, the elements used in that ghost story are clearly things that existed in the world from the beginning..
The psychopath test I encountered just before didn't come out of thin air..
Items taken by teacher Jang Hwa-eun from students who were playing around in the reading room..
Clearly, the fundamental entity existed from the beginning..
‘So what about this test paper??’
Until now, I simply thought that the test paper, which was fine because I was involved in a ghost story, would have deformed on its own..
Is that really so?.
I had a doubt.
Which came first, the ghost story or this problem?.
Did this question sneakily appear on the exam because I was caught up in a ghost story?.
Or was I swept up in the ghost story because I saw this question written on the test paper?.
‘Let's examine both possibilities..’
If you conclude that the former comes first, there is nothing to think about..
The devil sent me a ghost story, and because of that, a strange problem arose on the exam paper, the end.
‘But if it's the latter.’
What if there was a ghost story written on the test paper first, and I was swept up in it because I saw it??
This last question is only written on my test paper.
If someone wrote it down on purpose to show me?
‘There's only one person who can do that.’
The science teacher who is proctoring the exam in front of me right now..
I created the questions myself and handed out the test papers..
It wouldn't be that difficult for him to create a separate test paper with this ghost story written on it and have it come to me..
If we assume that, another question arises..
‘why?’
science teacher.
Why is this person trying to kill me??
And that too using ghost stories..
Ding~ dong~ Dang~ dong ♬
The bell rang indicating the end of the exam, but I still hadn't come to a conclusion..
The science teacher is bluntly collecting OMR cards from students and organizing them one by one..
‘Did I go too far?.’
Are we labeling this middle-aged man, who only talks a little, as a bad person?.
As I quietly looked at the person's face, a thought suddenly passed through my mind..
‘Why did you warn me to take the test properly??’
Jinhee, who is sleeping stretched out, would be much more upset if she didn't take the test properly..
At least they are paying attention to me who is not sleeping on my stomach and is just idly zoning out..
And the science teacher who is known for not interacting with students on a regular basis?
I'm afraid you won't read the last issue with the ghost story in it..
I can't think of anything other than that..
Soon the teacher left the classroom, and the students moved around in their seats noisily..
Gyeongwon, Deokhoon, Seonah, and Hayun also quickly gathered to me..
“How was it? As expected, there was that strange problem this time too.?”
I jumped up from my seat, stopping the guys who were trying to check the test paper..
“I'm a science teacher. I'm suspicious of that person.”
“what?”
The members are confused.
However, Gyeongwon immediately answered with his glasses shining..
“As expected, as I was just taking a test and wondering who else could do something like this, the only thing that came to mind was the science teacher right in front of me..”
“Let's chase!”
“Go, suddenly?”
Suna asked in confusion, but I was already hurrying my steps..
“You'll get a call soon. I don't know what I'm trying to check, but first I have to track down where the science teacher is and what he's doing..”
“Come on, let's go together.!”
The five of us crowded out of the classroom, except for Jinhee, who sat in the back seat and stared indifferently..
Fortunately, the science teacher seems to be not moving too quickly, just turning the corner and going up the stairs..
“Let's follow. Just enough not to miss it.”
We slowly increased our distance and followed the teacher with me leading the way..
Rumble.
“There are too many numbers to follow..”
“Let's be careful somehow.”
It was a funny picture to see people gathering like this in a school and following the teacher..
“ fizzle.”
While going around the stairs, I kept peeking my head out from around the corner to follow the teacher so as not to miss him..
The place we arrived at was the 4th floor..
“As expected, you are going into the science room..”
The 4th floor contains facilities for teaching purposes such as a science room, music room, computer room, etc..
The teacher stopped on that floor and walked down the quiet hallway into the science room..
“I think I went to the office?”
huh ”
In the science room, in addition to the space where students study, there is another room in the corner that is used as a materials room and as an office for the science teacher..
Compared to ordinary teachers who had their own seats in the staff room, teachers of some subjects, such as science or music, spent more time in dedicated classrooms..
“There's no point in pursuing something like this. I can't see what you're doing.”
“Assholes.”
Someone suddenly saw us and swore at us, so we turned around and saw Jinhee standing with her arms crossed..
“Just check it out.”
Jinhee crossed between us huddled together in front of the science room and opened the sliding door..
Grumbling-
At the same time.
[ ··· \'7d··· ♬… ]
An ominous melody that rings from a music box like the ringtone from the movie Call Me..
it's my cell phone.
“I'll get it, manager.?”
“Fuck, wait a minute.”
I tried turning off my phone and turning it on silent, but the ringing didn't stop..
Rather, it rang louder and louder..
“I'm going to get caught.”
“I'll just take it, hehe.”
I know the answer to the question anyway, so there's nothing to worry about..
Ding_
“hello?”
[Why did the man commit suicide?] A man's voice modulated into a mechanical sound is heard through the cell phone..
And at the same time, Jinhee roughly entered the science room and opened the office door..
Suddenly-
[What, what! who are you!]
A distorted male voice shouting urgently from within a cell phone..
I also stuck my head into the science room and looked into the office..
I saw Jinhee nodding her head in pride and the science teacher standing awkwardly while holding her cell phone..
“What are you doing all of a sudden? This is a place where students are not allowed! get out!”
“Indeed.”
Was it this person after all?.
We quickly rushed into the science room..
“Guys, stop them from escaping..”
huh ”
Seon-ah locks the entrance to the science room from the inside and Deok-hoon blocks the office..
“W, you can’t come in here! “Get out now!” “Be quiet. Because I know you played a prank on my exam paper..”
“What, what?”
a teacher who is embarrassed.
But after a while, he suddenly grins..
‘ Yikes.’
Come to think of it, there was a 5 second count after the question..
I answered him quickly.
“The answer is that it tastes different from the seagull meat that the man ate on the uninhabited island. Because the meat I ate on the desert island was my wife's flesh..”
the man is blind.
The wife sacrificed herself by cooking her own flesh so that the man would not starve to death..
A man who believed it was seagull meat and survived alone without knowing anything..
It was a bitter story about eating real seagull meat, and only realizing the truth when the taste was completely different..
The science teacher's expression hardened again as if he had guessed the correct answer..
There are no words.
I used to be a blunt and gloomy person, but now I feel even worse..
‘As expected, what Suna said was the correct answer..’
I asked a question to the frozen man..
“I wrote a ghost story on my exam paper. what is the reason?”
“Please answer.”
The teacher stays still for a moment, then moves his old tree-like skin once again and smiles unpleasantly..
“European Union... The reason I wrote a ghost story on the exam paper is, of course, to kill you. What is really problematic??”
“yes? What kind of bullshit is this? So tell me why you tried to kill me.”
“ oh.”
“buy.”
“···Fuck, does this sound like a joke? Do you know how to treat me like an adult? answer me!”
“three.”
“But this guy is really!”
Gyeongwon quickly stopped me as I rushed towards the science teacher who suddenly started counting in a panic..
The science teacher laughed when he saw that..
“this
Powok-!
Jinhee suddenly took his place and punched the science teacher in the face like an old tree..
“Ugh-!”
The power of a high school girl's fist is unbelievable..
Wow-
The teacher's nose was crushed by a well-placed direct punch, and at the same time, his glasses were shattered and scattered in the air..
The teacher falls towards the crashing shelf..
Glass equipment used in class poured out on top of it..
Jinhee looks back at me and smiles.
“I always wanted to beat up those people called teachers..”
At the same time.
Strongly-!
“Ugh...
It was time over again.
‘What happened... … I feel like my heart is being squeezed hard..
This time again, I close my eyes and fall down clutching my chest..
“Manager! manager……
The members are surprised and support me.
Suna, who was guarding the entrance, also ran to me, looked at my condition, quickly took out a box cutter, and ran to the unconscious science teacher..
“What did you do to our Jun?-”
In the background, there is a scene where the members are grabbing me and making a fuss and Seona is threatening and slapping the teacher who is lying down.
Vision becomes blurry.
[you are dead.]
[Restart from checkpoint.]

lazy lunch time.
Jinhee is sleeping, Deokhoon is stealing a chair, Hayun is brushing her teeth, and Gyeongwon is studying. And I see Suna coming to talk to me..
“Jun, your exam study is going well.?”
Instead of answering, I looked around and said.
“Hey guys.”
eyes focused on me.
