The eleventh ghost story -
A friend no one remembers (6)
“Eunjeong? I really don't remember?”
“yes……
My mother asked with round eyes, and my father passed by with a faint smile..
“The two of you hang out like that, and it's really weird..”
“I have a photo or something.?”
“then! How many times did the two of you hang out?.”
My mother answered as if it was obvious, then took out a photo album from the closet..
An album containing photos of important moments about me from childhood until now, such as my first birthday party or when I went out to play with my family..
Since my parents stopped using a film camera after buying a smartphone, this is an old album that only contains records up to the elementary school graduation ceremony..
“here! “It’s here.” My mother looked around the area from my elementary school days and quickly pulled out some photos..
I cuddled up next to him and looked, and there was a girl I didn't know..
A photo taken together wearing gym clothes at a sports day.
A photo taken of us sitting together in front of a cake at a birthday party..
This photo was taken in the valley when the family went out to play..
‘ ···It's pretty.’
Although she looked slender, she had big eyes and was smiling brightly in every photo, making her look innocent..
“how is it? I remember?”
“…yes.”
I couldn't deny it any further, so I just nodded..
“But what school did he transfer to??”
“I’m not sure about that either… I just remember moving in with my family. I don't have a cell phone number?”
“Yeah, I don't have a number or anything.……
Even as I said that, I secretly took out my cell phone and opened the phone book just in case..
And among the few lists in my shabby number book, it proudly occupies the top of the ‘ki’ column..
[豊Kim Eun-jeong 010-4444-4444]
crazy.
there is.
“Oh, I'm going to take a quick shower now and get ready for bed..”
“your dad is washing?”
“then… Anyway, I'll go into the room first. Because I'm tired.”
“Yes.”
Just when I was looking through the album for the first time in a while and trying to get lost in memories, my mother was organizing the photos with a sullen expression, as if she was upset that I was missing out..
But now I had more important issues piled up..
I quickly went into the room, closed the door, and checked the chat room. Hayun, Jinhee, and Deokhoon were also in the middle of a conversation, as if they had just checked the contents..
［Oh Deok-hoon: I discovered it. I found out that there was an unknown ID called 'Pp' in the chatting app that I use when playing games with my internet friends, so I asked about it and found out that he was one of the gamers I had been playing with for a few years, but he transferred to a foreign country and has been online for the past few years. I can’t do it, three three three.］
［Glasses shop: Pfft.???］
［Deok-Hoon Oh: Probably the sound you make when you pronounce ‘KEJ’ right away? Kim Eun-jung’s initials i=i=］
［Jinhee Lee: Mchang? You're not playing around.?］
［Ha- yoon In: I was just asking, and he was one of my friends who often came to my house when I was young and used to steal things. If he comes and goes, he will bring a PMP and a ballpoint pen.
I heard this and that disappeared.］
“Everyone says something different.”
I took pictures of the album my mother showed me with my cell phone camera and sent them to them..
I received confirmation from Jinhee, who made all the spacing mistakes, that that face was correct..
［Jinhee Lee: It’s so amazing. Strange things happen when I’m with you guys.］
［Optician: 010-4444-4444? It's in my phone book too. What should I do??］
［Lee Jun: Since it only says 4, it can't be the correct number, so let's just stay away and not contact him for now.] Until late, we gathered all the information we had gathered in the group chat room..
Eunjeong was a quiet friend of few words to some, and a sincere model student to others..
To some, he was a mischievous and mischievous friend, while to others, he was an unpleasant child with kleptomania..
Each person said something different, but what they had in common was that they were best friends and that they transferred schools before graduation..
［Lee Jun: Phew;; Okay, it's already 12 o'clock. Let's stop now and talk about the rest tomorrow..］
［Glassesman: Yes. It would be much faster to gather and talk rather than talk.』
［Jinhee Lee: Are you already asleep? I’m jealous.］
［Yoon Seon-ah: See you tomorrow~］
［In Ha-yoon: Good night..］
［Oh Deok-hoon: お休み~ (Japanese way of saying good night)）］
［Yoon Seon-ah: Deok-hoon is in a bad mood.…….］
［Jinhee Lee: Deokhoon, you idiot, don’t sleep and reply when your sister texts you because you’re bored at night.］
［Jinhee Lee: I fall behind when I sleep.］
［Deok-Hoon Oh: Isn’t that too much?~］

［Lee Jun - 2nd episode］
［ghost story point : 67］
［causality : 14%］
The next day, the first morning of May.
As I was walking to school, I suddenly got a call from Gyeongwon..
[Deputy, manager… I think I should come to school quickly.…….]
“why?”
[We have Kim Eun-jung in our class.…….]
I ran across the playground in a huff and arrived at the classroom..
Gyeong-won, who had arrived early like a model student, came and Hayun raised his hand and guided me to the teacher's table..
“Here, attendance sheet.”
The attendance sheet for our class that he gave me.
There, the name ‘Kim Eun-jung’ was written as attendance number 4..
“I arrived early and had nothing to do, so I opened it just in case, and it said,……
Gyeongwon’s voice trembles as if he’s afraid..
Soon Hayun, standing next to the teacher's table, looks at me and asks:.
“What do you think, Jun??”
“…what
She smiles.
“current situation.”
What do you think about and what do you do when you sleep?.
I got caught up in a ghost story..
“I feel like I'm involved in a ghost story..”
“huh. So what do you plan on doing??”
Hayun asks me as if she’s curious.
Several male students sitting in class glance at Hayun, who has been giving off a tremendous presence since taking off her glasses..
“···well. Well, we'll have to find a way to eradicate it.?”
Then Hayun brought her face closer and asked again..
“how?”
I reflexively avoided eye contact with a blush on my face..
Why are you attacking me like this today?.
“Well, the method is... Let's all think about it together.……
“Nothing comes to mind right now?”
She tilts her head.
A few strands of flowing black hair, a clean jawline.
Slightly raised corners of the mouth.
“···Yeah, that's right. I don't have anything right now.”
“Hmm.”
“For now, I'll just have to wait and see how things progress... Because I don’t know anything……
“So if you find out, be sure to share it..”
Then he gently pushes his face in and whispers.
“I'll look forward to it.”
She soon laughs and quietly returns to her seat..
what.
Why is it like that.
‘But it's pretty.’
I calmed my pounding heart and turned my head to Gyeongwon..
The guy looking at me with an expressionless expression.
‘What are you looking at, man?.’
After a while, Deokhoon leisurely enters the classroom and puts down his bag..
“Hello, Deokhoon.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Then, the homeroom teacher, a middle-aged balding man with a pot belly, came in through the front door..
At the same time, Seon-ah and Jin-hee hurriedly entered through the back door, narrowly avoiding being late..
“Is Seon-ah coming in in a hurry again? Gradually, the teacher also got used to it..”
Jinhee is the homeroom teacher who doesn't say anything because she's afraid to be touched..
He soon goes to the teacher's table and looks around the classroom..
“May Family Month has already begun. So, that means it’s already been two months since you entered this school. It seems like time goes by so quickly. They say today is Labor Day, but why am I working?.”
He roughly says what he wants to say and opens the attendance register at the teacher's table..
I quickly looked around the classroom, but I couldn't see the person I thought was Kim Eun-jung..
How will the homeroom teacher react to Kim Eun-jung, who has attendance number 4?.
Soon the homeroom teacher opened the attendance register and looked around the classroom with a happy face..
“15I heard that it's Teacher's Day, and I hope this will be a day when everyone can visit and contact teachers they remember. It's been almost 30 years since I taught, and there is a student I still remember. I was a student whose hobby was smoking weed in the back of the classroom every day.……
Call attendance quickly.
“…Then, wouldn't it have been a tumble in the teacher's office? Hoho, that guy is so… Even now that I think about it, he was a truly unique friend. Immediately after that, he was suddenly hit by a truck and died instantly.……
Blah blah blah….
“Now, let’s take attendance. Kang Jeong-ho.”
“yes.”
at las.
I adjusted my posture and sat down..
“Koo Yun-jeong.”
“yes.”
“Kim Bo-bae.”
“yes.”
“Eunjeong Kim.”
no one has an answer.
The homeroom teacher immediately raises his head..
“Eunjeong Kim?”
Deok- hoon, Seon-ah, and Jin-hee, who are unaware of the situation because they arrived just before, are startled by the name and look around..
“Didn’t Kim Eun-jung come??”
“yes.”
When someone answered, the homeroom teacher walked to the window and looked out at the playground..
“Looks like you're late. It's going round and round over there.”
The eyes of the six members of our ghost story club are all focused on the playground outside the window..
My seat is by the window.
I put my face up against the glass and quickly scanned the playground, but there was no way to tell who was who because several people were entangled and duck-walking..
There is?
Among them?
“Manager, did you find it??”
Deokhoon taps me with a serious face and asks.
I looked for a moment more and shook my head..
“No, I don't know..”
“ me too······
“Since Children's Day falls on a Sunday, next Monday becomes a substitute holiday, right? I think I like that part. Anyway, fighting today too.”
As soon as the homeroom teacher gave a brief comment and left the classroom, the six members of our ghost story club hurriedly headed down the hallway..
“If you're late, wait here.
If you do, you'll be able to meet right away..”
“Phew, the ghost story club is standing in the hallway nervously wondering what is going on..
But as time passed and it was almost time for the first period to start, no one entered the class..
Then, we were noticed by the math teacher coming in to class..
“What are you doing standing in your hallway?.”
“Let's go into the classroom, let's teach.”
Oh Jeong-ho, a young bachelor teacher in charge of mathematics..
They are in league with an unknown force in the school..
“yes.”
In the end, we went back into class without confirming anything..
“Equation of a tangent to a circle with given slope
Class has started, but we can't focus on the blackboard at all, and we look around to see which seats are empty..
Soon my partner Deokhoon was poking me, so I turned around and saw that he had started writing something in the corner of the textbook..
［Next to Jinhee Lee］
Hearing those words, I quickly turn around and see Jinhee resting her chin and sticking out her mouth, and an empty desk next to her..
‘ Wow.’
My head tilts for a moment.
Next to Jinhee.
Who was it originally??
In the seat right in front of the teacher's table, Ahn Kyung-won and our class's best friend, Ban Jang-hoon, are sitting together..
Me and Deokhoon by the window.
On the wall, Hayun and Seonah are paired together..
‘Jinhee in the back seat?’
Who was Jinhee’s partner??
I've thought about it, but no matter how hard I rack my brain, I can't remember..
I quickly scribbled on Deokhoon’s textbook..
[Lee Jin-hee’s partner. Do you remember who it is?] Then Deokhoon, who was thinking deeply, quickly shook his head and wrote down the letter..
[No, I don’t remember, I just said it because I saw an empty seat.
Soon it was time for a break and we gathered at Jinhee's seat..
“Well, what is it?.”
Jinhee was taken aback by the sight of the members suddenly rushing towards her..
“Jinhee, who is your partner??”
“···what?”
Only then did she look at the empty seat next to her and startle..
Soon he opens his mouth and looks at us..
‘···I guess you don't know.’
I moved next to Jinhee and quietly looked at the desk..
An empty seat with no bags or anything hanging on it..
But the drawer was full of something.
“There's a book inside.”
“Let's take it out, manager..”
We take out a bunch of textbooks from the desk drawer..
Sure enough, there was clearly written [Kim Eun-jeong, 1st grade, 3rd class] written all over it..
“…When did this come here?.”
Gyeongwon is looking through his textbook in a cold sweat..
A class leader who happened to be passing by saw us rummaging through someone else's desk and said something..
“What are you doing??”
“I feel like Eunjeong’s textbook and my textbook were swapped. I'm taking a look.”
“Ah, yes?”
The class leader nodded at my quick response and left without any suspicion..
Kyungwon looks at me with an expression of admiration..
“Just a moment, class leader.!”
I suddenly stop the class president who was just about to leave the back door..
“however… There is Eunjeong..”
“uh.”
“Do you know where I went now??”
“You went to the bathroom.”
The guy who answers as if it’s obvious.
I bit my lip and asked.
“you saw it yourself?”
« 2”
“Going to the bathroom. Did you see it yourself?.”
we didn't see.
Soon, the handsome class leader raises his head slightly and answers as if asking why..
“of course. As soon as you got to your seats, you passed by and went out the back door..”
