The eighth ghost story -
cursed midterm (8)
The day before the midterm exam, lunch time. club room.
“Jun, study for the test-”
I quickly went to the whiteboard and grabbed a marker pen..
And he frantically scribbled the teachers' names on the white board..
Oh Jeong-ho.
Deokhee Yoon.
Choi Kang-chan.
Homeroom teacher Park.
now.
Son Pyeong-ho.
Youngsik Jeong.
“what..?”
“after." Only after writing down the last name did I let out the breath I had been holding..
Fortunately, I didn't miss a thing and poured out everything I remembered..
“Guys, sit down..”
“What! How does this happen?!”
Gyeongwon is surprised once again.
“i believe……
Suna, who believes in me once again.
And once again, Jinhee and Deokhoon look blank and don't know how to react, and Hayoon has an expressionless expression..
After roughly explaining, I picked up my cell phone and called someone..
Gyeongwon, who was staring at me quietly waiting for the call waiting tone, eventually couldn't bear it anymore and asked..
“Who are you betting on??”
“someone you know.”
“ Hmm?”
Members with puzzled expressions.
“I have one person who asked me to contact them if something like this happens..”
Soon someone answers the phone in a gruff voice..
[It's been a while.]
While talking on the phone with that person, I thought about the time I faced the teacher in the science room..
Jinhee hit the teacher, and I collapsed from a heart attack..
That time when I lost and died while exchanging questions and answers that I didn't even know about..
‘Clearly, the curse was established even though questions were exchanged in person rather than over the phone..’
I thought carefully about the reason..
Maybe the phone acts like a trigger to finally activate the curse?.
It was the year I turned 20, and we each knew the ghost story and asked questions..
All conditions were already in place.
The phone serves as the final punctuation point that triggers the curse. Questions and answers may not necessarily have to be exchanged over the phone..
Then science teacher.
He made a big mistake..
* * *
next day.
‘24th seat in division, 4th seat in 2nd division……
The science teacher entered the classroom repeating the name of the student named Lee Jun, whom he had heard beforehand..
‘Is it that guy?.’
Lee Jun quietly flips through his pencil case and prepares for a science test..
Of course, he may have come to his class a few times, but his face was not particularly memorable to him as he carried out his duties as a teacher in a dull manner..
‘You can't make mistakes.’
Science test paper consisting of a total of three sheets.
The teacher slowly handed them out one by one to the students in the division in front, checking how the students in Lee Jun's division passed the test papers..
And when handing out test papers for the last chapter, they are arranged so that the test paper with the ghost story on it goes to Lee Joon..
‘No problem.’
Fortunately, the students passed the last page of the test in the same observed manner as the previous two pages without any sudden action..
The test paper with the ghost story written on it arrives safely to Lee Joon..
After completing the examination smoothly, he went up to the science room on the 4th floor..
Normally, teachers who finished supervising would immediately go to the vice principal's office and collect the answer sheets, but he was entrusted with a more important task..
“Let's go together! together……!”
The students in the classroom who had just seen the director came rushing in and went up the stairs ahead of him..
Among them was Lee Jun, who he was trying to kill..
‘Are they members of that funny club?.’
There was no guilt..
Even before accepting the teachings of Taesang, the leader of the sect, the position of teacher was nothing more than a means of making money for oneself..
Grumbling-
The teacher opened the door to the empty science room and went into his room, which doubled as a materials room and office..
I put down the OMR answer sheet I brought with me on the desk and check the instructions given from above again..
I will give a special printed worksheet containing a certain ghost story to the student named Lee Jun who will be supervising today..
And as soon as the test is over, go to a place where no one is watching and call the student to ask for the answer to the story..
From what to do in case Lee Joon gives the correct answer, we also check Lee Joon's phone number and whether the app that modulates his voice is working properly..
‘In this way... like this.’
There was no question as to why they wanted to kill the student in such a complicated way..
However, just strictly obey the given orders..
‘···Did you miss anything?.’
Science teacher carefully checking instructions once again.
It was a very attentive attitude that he had never shown to the students he taught..
After finishing the inspection, he quietly took out his cell phone..
Slowly dial Lee Jun’s number..
It matches the phone book stored in the cell phone in advance..
He checks the number a few more times and presses the call button..
And the coloring that comes through.
[ …♬… .]
An ominous melody with a music box echoing.
It was a terrible sound as a ring tone..
[ ... )... ♬ … .]
‘… I can't believe they set something like this to coloring. Kids these days want to stand out, so they can't control themselves..’
He was frowning and criticizing today's generation, but he was saying it without knowing that it was a melody that was heard due to a curse trigger, not Lee Jun's original coloring..
Soon the sound cuts out, and someone answers the phone..
[Hello, show me.]
A low, heavy voice.
Did a student named Lee Jun have such a young voice?.
I thought about it carefully, but I had no way of knowing Lee Jun's voice because he had never paid much attention to students..
[who are you.]
When there is no answer, the man on the phone asks who he is..
no.
No matter how much I think about it, I can't think of it as a student's voice..
The teacher wondered if he had dialed the wrong number, so he took his ear off the phone and checked the number again..
‘That's right.’
The moment I thought of a question and put the phone to my ear again to ask if it was Lee Joon..
[Are you an official of a student named Lee Joon?.]
right | 99
The man on the phone asks him a question first..
The teacher was surprised, but calmly opened his mouth..
“…hello.”
[yes. Please speak.]
“Isn’t this Lee Joon’s cell phone?.”
[you're right. Excuse me, but do you know a student named Lee Joon?.]
Ding_
The teacher quickly hung up the phone..
I don't know what it was, but someone other than Lee Joon answered the phone..
Then there is no need to share stories and leave something that could be trampled on..
‘···I guess I'll try walking again in a bit..’
With that thought in mind, he organizes students' OMR cards..
The soon-to-be-dead guy named Lee Joon was about to take a peek to see if he did well on the test..
An ominous melody rings through your cell phone..
[ ··· … ♬… .]
A gloomy melody that resonates through a music box like the ringtone from the movie Call Me..
This isn't the original ringtone, so what is it? The science teacher frowns and then becomes shocked when he sees the name of the sender..
[Lee Jun]
He thought about it for a while, but then decided to take it..
‘···what.’
Press the accept button and slowly bring it to your ear..
[hello. This is Detective Park Kang-woon of the Metropolitan Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. Don't hang up. Tracking begins.]
detective!
Although he was dry and blunt, he couldn't help but be shocked by the name of detective..
‘···detective?’
[hello. Are you there?.]
‘Why would someone like that take Lee Joon’s cell phone instead?……
He was so embarrassed for a moment that he felt his heart shrink..
But I soon came to my senses..
no, it's okay.
no one knows.
No, I don't know..
Even though he couldn't understand, he continued desperately repeating it to himself..
“What is it.”
[That's my question. Why did you call me from this cell phone? Hide the number too.]
After hesitating for a moment, the teacher decided to just hang up..
I don't know what the situation is, but continuing this conversation didn't do any good for me..
Let’s do it again later after we finish grading the students..
I hope Lee Joon gets it.
Just as I was about to hang up the phone.
[Hello. If you want to quit, it would be better to quit. The location has already been posted, let’s see… It's inside Nakseong High School in Sillim-dong..]
Science teacher with dilated pupils.
As he twitches his lips and searches for something to say, his heart begins to beat rapidly..
‘I really found out the location.?’
If this is true, there will be more cases to consider, but now is the time to make decisions quickly..
He decides to get the job done right away, ignoring all doubts..
“···I am a school official. Could you please change the student named Lee Jun??”
[Please tell me first why you are calling..]
“···I just have a little something to say..”
It's just a trivial question, asking why a man committed suicide after eating seagull meat..
‘Change it, damn it.’
The moment Lee Joon receives it, the game is over..
［Please change it... That might be a bit difficult.］
“···Why?.”
［Because he died』
right | 99
The science teacher, whose pupils are once again greatly dilated..
The detective's calm voice rings through the cell phone..
［An incident broke out and we were conducting an on-site investigation, when the victim's cell phone rang and I answered it instead. Excuse me, but could you tell me your name and identity?.］
“death, death……
The teacher swallowed his saliva..
What happened? Did it go well??
I was going to kill him anyway, but he died first, so I kicked him out.?
No, it didn't work out..
The cult leader clearly wanted a student named Lee Jun to die in a specific way..
If the intention was to simply destroy it, there was no reason to give such complicated instructions..
[hello. hello.]
You should check it out.
Why did Lee Joon die?.
‘Gulp.’
If he died accidentally, it was no different from a mission failure to him..
The leader's orders are absolute.
He trembles in fear and desperately wonders what kind of harsh punishment awaits someone who fails..
［hello. You're very suspicious right now. They make calls using the victim's cell phone by restricting caller ID and even altering the voice. If you don't answer one more time, I'll come find you. It's in the school,
now?]
The teacher said, “Oops,” and quickly turned off the voice modulation app on his cell phone..
“iced coffee… Hmm. sorry. Because I have a cold. It's not like voice modulation..”
[Please tell me how you are related to the victim..]
The science teacher nervously fiddled with the students' OMR cards and answered..
“I am a science teacher at Nakseong High School..”
[Oh, were you a school teacher? What did you call about?…….]
“With Jun... Because we've always been close friends. I called to ask if you did well on the test..”
[Is that so?.]
“So, I just called... I'm a bit embarrassed. It's not like a joke?”
[no. Did you have a close relationship with the student??]
“No, whatever. It's not that related. I occasionally ask how you are..”
The science teacher, who felt that there was nothing good about being too involved, drew a reasonable line and just when the detective was about to say something, he took the initiative and asked what he wanted to ask first..
“By the way, what is going on? The student Jun died.?”
[You said it wasn't a major relationship. Well, it's a bit hard to tell right away. Since you are a faculty member, please check with the school later..]
The science teacher hastily talks to the detective who is about to hang up the phone..
“No, it's not that it's a major unrelated relationship.……
A science teacher rubbing his eyes for a moment as sweat trickled down his eyebrows..
I guess I was so nervous at some point that I was sweating a little..
Instructions from the cult leader, everything the church has prepared for this time..
Lastly, all he had to do was make a phone call, but he couldn't stand it anymore and Lee Joon died first for an odd reason..
Other teachers... In particular, he couldn't help but be nervous because he had to confirm the cause and prepare at least an excuse before the church's executives found out..
And he just prayed earnestly that the cause of the sudden death of the student named Lee Jun was a natural disaster that he could not have prevented..
[···You're saying we're not really related? When I asked you earlier, you said just a few seconds ago that you only occasionally ask how I am and that it is nothing special.-]
“oh my. Are you just taking what I said because I'm a blunt Gyeongsang-do man?!”
The science teacher interrupted the detective and began to force a sad voice out of his dry emotions..
“Can’t you tell just by the fact that I called to ask if you did well on the test? If the relationship really wasn't that special, I wouldn't have even contacted you.!”
[···I guess so. This was rude..]
“[Jun。], our Jun... What on earth happened? He was a student I really cared about.……
The pitch of his voice as he forces himself to express his emotions is very awkward..
[Excuse me, but how close were you?.]
“It was close, close! He was like a son to me as a man... Well... Jun-i, whenever he sees me, he runs past all his friends and runs over to say hello.……
[…….]
“Teacher~! I’m a teacher~! And when he came running to me, I gave him a hug... Young people are so smart... It was pure and bright... This and that... He was a very good student, but somehow……
[I'm a freshman and I haven't even finished my first midterm, but did you already know that I'm good at studying?.]
“That's what it says, it says! You'll know when you see how they do it in the classroom! He always did his homework well and was always focused in the front row... somehow……
[Front seat? According to students' testimony, they sat in the middle of the classroom..]
“my… I mean in the science lab! in the science room!”
Instead of acting sad, the teacher showed his anger in a hurry..
“Well, during science class, you don't go to class and you move around! That's what this student said in the science lab! In the science room! Please listen carefully!”
[Heh heh, this was rude again. But why is the number restricted from caller ID?-]
“Oh my Jun……
The teacher ignores the detective's words and raises his voice, grimacing his face as hard as an old tree..
“What happened to our kind Jun... oh my……
A science teacher who taps his knees and cries dryly in a soulless voice..
“Why, how did it happen like that... Oh my.……
“Our Jun is like a son... Why is our good Jun……
He calls out the name of a student he had no interest in before..
He could hear someone other than the detective suppressing laughter on the other end of the phone, but he was so absorbed in acting that he couldn't hear it..
“The sky is so indifferent... Taking such a kind Jun... oh my… oh my……
[…….] “Take me with you, grim reaper. Rather me… I have to take this old bastard, why did good Jun go first... Oh my.......
[…….]
“I now... I have to live with Jun in my heart... As a teacher, what could be sadder than this? Oh my, oh my… So why on earth did he die, oh my……
[···All right. I'll tell you.]
at las!
The teacher immediately changed his expression to his usual blunt self and listened to his cell phone..
[That's it. Actually, what happened? My friend, do you know that he was in a shipwreck once a long time ago? At that time, just before starving to death, he barely caught a seagull and ate it to survive. Years later, the man remembered the seagull meat from back then and went to a seagull restaurant. The man took a bite of a piece of meat and was shocked. The reason the man was surprised?]
The teacher was dazed when the accident stopped for a moment..
Soon his face started shaking, his skin turned red, and he screamed into the cell phone in his hand..
“Don’t talk bullshit, you fucking shit! You damn bastard! Who are you kidding?!”
[If you quit, you'll regret it..]
“Crazy bastard makes fun of people……!”
A trembling science teacher.
Now that I think about it, it hasn't even been 20 minutes since I left the classroom after supervising..
I suddenly got a phone call from someone called a detective, so I couldn't even think about it, but there was no way Lee Joon could have died inside the school in that short period of time..
“What kind of bastard-”
As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped..
not some asshole.
The cell phone that just received the call clearly belongs to Lee Joon himself..
A ray of cold sweat flows down his forehead again as he mutters..
‘if······
[…….]
‘Now, I'm not sure... no way.’
Did you get caught?……?
Cold sweat flowing down old wrinkles.
A science teacher, he turned off the voice modulation and introduced himself with his voice exposed, and ended up acting absurdly..
Everything was discovered-
‘Oh, no… I'm rather glad!’
The science teacher desperately tries to sort out his turbulent mind..
If everything up until now had been fishing, it would have been fortunate..
‘Lee Jun! You're still alive!’
I don't know which of those kids is imitating the adult's voice, but I'm guessing they did this to reveal their true identity.!
The science teacher rolls his eyes and quickly turns around in his head, filled with venom..
Clearly, he revealed himself..
But now it doesn't matter anymore.
The important thing is that it is still possible to kill Lee Joon using this ghost story..
“Joo, Junaaa?”
Drenched in sweat, I call out kindly in a slow, trembling, pretentious voice..
“Hey, are you there??”
The trembling science teacher's eyes vaguely draw a half-moon shape..
The corners of his mouth rise strangely.
“It's there, right? W, you were listening to everything from the side, right? huh?”
Someone else's name was heard next to the detective earlier, and it was clearly Lee Joon..
If you've come up with a trick like this to lure me in, I'm sure you'll be listening to everything from the sidelines..
“Hey, right? You know, you. It's there. You're all listening... That's right?”
The science teacher's hands are shaking.
[···Phew.]
Sure enough, someone next to the detective could be heard sighing pathetically towards him..
Unlike the detective's low tone, it was a faint sighing sound that had just finished changing..
At that moment, the science teacher's eyes twinkled and sparkled..
“Ijuuuun! I found it ahhh!
You're next to me!”
If you can hide it, it would be best to keep it hidden and ask questions, but there was no need to kneel even if you pushed relentlessly..
As an educator, writing a ghost story and making a phone call after writing a ghost story on a student's test paper was a very suspicious action, but there was no legal problem with the heart attack that Lee Joon suffered..
‘Oh, it's not too late! possible! Right now! immediately!!’
The teacher did not even give the other person time to hang up the phone, and immediately made sure that even Lee Jun, who was eavesdropping on the other end of the phone, could hear..
I grabbed the cell phone with the force of shoving it down my throat and screamed at the top of my lungs..
“Why did the man die?~?”
[……!]
“Oh 4! three! this! Day! Sometimes~!”
The person on the other end of the phone takes my breath away.
Big, big!]
Then, along with the sound of someone falling down, a panicked commotion is heard..
I heard! I heard! I heard! heard!
You heard it~ You heard it, Jun.!
The teacher couldn't control the laughter that bubbled up from underneath the danjeon..
“Joo, Junaaagh! I thought the teacher left you first! Uha, uh hahahaha… Is there something like this… Really... giggle kill.”
It starts with anxiety, then anger, embarrassment, forced tears, and catharsis..
A science teacher who went between extremes of emotion for a short period of time..
Finally, for the first time in my life, I fell into madness.
I burst out laughing.
“K, KHAT, KHAT HOT……
For students who thought he was just an incompetent guy, this is the first time they see his real crazy side..
“Ah~ tsk tsk tsk. Damn, you're hitting me hard. Jun is like our son! Fuck you, you become a student and make fun of your heavenly teacher! Uh... hehe. This dog, a dog like a dog I can't believe how surprised the teacher was! Something as big as John makes fun of adults! In my day, I couldn't even step on the teacher's shadow! You damn bastard!”
“Really, really, really. “Khahaha.” “I really can’t stop our Jun, ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The science teacher bursts out laughing, holding the chest of his discolored shirt, which is completely wet from sweating so much..
“100 points! You got 100 points on the midterm exam! The teacher will give you 100 points! Haha, hahaha.”
I can hear Lee Jun's breathless gasps coming from the other side of the phone..
[Ugh, euuk, euuk..]
“Hahahahaha. Haha.” The guy who couldn't hold back his laughter and was banging on the desk..
The vibration causes a pile of students' OMR cards on the desk to spill out, and Lee Jun's answer sheet covers the back of his hand..
“This son of a bitch, for someone as big as John, he's really good at messing around, and the teacher admits that! I admit that, teacher, hahaha... 100 points for the fine hair, 100 points for you, hahaha..”
［Ugh... Ugh.......』
He laughs wildly while hearing Lee Joon's out of breath, picks up Lee Joon's OMR card and starts fluttering it in front of his eyes..
“I feel so bad, the teacher fixes everything with correction tape! The test score is 100 points! Let’s die in peace, Jun! Hahaha……
<36. Because it tasted 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..〉
“Haha, haha... The love story of a crazy person] Talent... Khot……
〈36. Because it tasted different from the seagull meat that the man ate on the uninhabited island. Because the meat I ate on the deserted island was my wife’s flesh.〉 “Hahaha…” Khot……
〈36. Because it tasted 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..〉
<36. The gal the man ate on a desert island
Maggie meat and taste…….〉
Lee Jun's OMR answer sheet, with something written all over the subjective columns that should have been empty..
The teacher rubs his eyes for a moment and then looks at it again..
<36. Because it tasted 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..〉
What was that?.
This is a sentence I've seen a lot somewhere..
streak.
The science teacher's head starts spinning..
Yes.
That was the answer to the problem he posed to Lee Jun..
[36]
If you remember this problem until you are 20, the year you turn 20,
Why did the man commit suicide? The last part of this problem that ends in question form
Lee Joon wrote the answers on the OMR card and handed it to the teacher who took the test..
[Everyone laughed?]
Detective silently asking.
[Then please answer my question quickly. Why was the man surprised when he took a bite of a piece of seagull meat?] At that moment, Lee Joon's voice is heard next to the detective's voice..
[oh.]
[buy.]
[three.]
Lee Joon coldly counts down.
“···Hey, no. for a moment… What
[this.]
“what are you doing now……
[Day.]
It's my turn to answer?
why?
Although the teacher didn't understand the meaning, he suddenly sensed a strange atmosphere that sent a chill down his spine, and he quickly answered..
“Why am I, the man, surprised? Then I found out that the seagull meat I ate when I was on an uninhabited island was my wife's flesh.……
[LOL… What bullshit. You didn't listen to this person's problem properly. Jun, where is your wife??]
Immediately the older man chuckles and laughs｝.
“What, what? what… No, why am I being asked questions in the first place?……
[huh? Jun, do you want me to change it? yes, here.]
[teacher.]
“Joo, Juna.”
Lee Jun's voice is so alive and well..
The science teacher started shaking as if he had met the Grim Reaper..
“buy… You're alive..”
[I have to live. I was loved like this.]
“That...yeah.”
A teacher whose whole body is shaking like an aspen tree.
I twitch my lips and barely spit out one sentence..
“Uh... how did this happen??”
[I don't know?]
The boy on the other side of the cell phone smiling and laughing.
[It's a variation of a past question. It's a midterm exam.]
The person who exhales sharply and feels an earthquake in his pupils..
He still doesn't seem to understand what happened..
[Is there anything else you want to say??]
Science teacher swallowing saliva.
“…Juna.”
“Will you please take a look at me just once??”
[Fuck you.]
[time over.]
Strongly
“Wow······!!”
As soon as Lee Jun coldly says time over, the science teacher feels a strong shock in his heart and clutches his chest with both hands..
The detective's deep voice resounds from his old cell phone, which has fallen..
[The correct answer is because I was confusing it with the galmaegisal from the meat restaurant. LOL… Why, there is galmaegisal (galmaegisal) among the pork parts. He thought it was the same meat, went to the wrong restaurant, took a bite, and was surprised... I'm so dumbfounded... Jun, is there anything else I can do? hmm? hello? hello?]
Inside the material room.
Science teacher lying on the floor in convulsions.
Soon the cell phone goes off, there is a commotion outside, and someone suddenly comes down the stairs from the 5th floor and enters the science room on the 4th floor..
rattly.
“…oh my god.”
Six students from the ghost story club entered the materials room in the science room. And the detective holding Lee Joon's cell phone in his hand..
That was the last thing the science teacher saw..
“···Wrong. already dead.”
“Thank you for your hard work, detective..”
“Huh, I tried to trick you, but I never thought people could die from something like this.……
“Do you believe it now??”
“little. Was it something that couldn’t be solved any other way??”
“no. This is already the fourth time. This person must have ended up trying to kill me somehow..”
“···Phew. I know that but.”
“Detective, you look very scary, but it's surprising..”
“Hey guy, even if it looks like this, the detective is on the side of justice. I don't want people dying in front of my eyes..”
“sorry. But I really couldn't help it. You can't turn off or reject a ringing cell phone because it's already been cursed. Even if I passed that moment, I would have chased you in some way..”
“…So you just returned it? It's called self-destruction. Phew… I understand first. I'll take care of this, so you can go back to the classroom so you don't get suspicious..”
“All right.”
“You will hear for sure what happened later, so just wait. hello? Uh, I'm Detective Park. An incident occurred here in Nakseong High School. One person died from a heart attack. It seems like it's a chronic illness. Uh, call an ambulance. No, there's no need to rush……
