The eleventh ghost story -
A friend no one remembers (7)
We stood nervously in the hallway and waited for Eun-jeong to go to the bathroom..
As time passed and second period began, there were no unfamiliar faces entering the class..
In the end, we were noticed by our homeroom teacher who came to teach our subject, Korean..
“Friends of the ghost story club. Let's stop the meeting and go in..”
“Or are you here to meet me? Hehehe... be happy.”
In the end, we got to second period without meeting Kim Eun-jung..
“Nice to see you again this morning. I feel like I see him more than my family.”
Homeroom teacher smiling brightly and trying to start class.
I looked around the back seat, but the seat next to Jinhee was still empty..
“teacher?”
“huh? who is looking for me?”
I said, carefully raising my hand to test the reaction..
“Eunjeong is not in the classroom..”
Then, the homeroom teacher narrowed his eyes and checked the back seat, then looked around with a puzzled expression..
“It's true. Who knows where Eunjeong went??”
“I went to the health clinic because I was sick..”
The female vice-class president, Chae-rin, who was sitting in the middle seat, answered on her behalf, and the homeroom teacher nodded..
“Are you saying that even in spring, a good season like this, there are still painful youth? When I was young……
Talking loudly.
Soon the second period ended, and the six of us quickly left the hallway and ran to the health room..
“quickly, quickly!!”
“Heh, heh.”
1The health room is located on the very right side of the floor, right next to the east entrance..
We hurriedly ran towards there..
Grumbling-
“…there is no one.”
Health teacher characteristics: None every time I go.
I quickly went inside, looked at the bed, and lifted the curtains that covered the partition one by one..
“here. It looks like someone was lying here just a moment ago..”
We discovered that the light on one of the partitioned beds was out of order..
Next, Jinhee found the students' attendance record on the health teacher's desk and opened it..
“Kim Eun-jung’s name is written here..”
“where, where.”
Jinhee points to a place in the register that seems familiar..
“Let’s see, Kim Eun-jung. He said he came to first and second periods with body aches and went to lie down.……
There, in clear letters, the name ‘Kim Eun-jeong’ was written, along with the time and reason for coming..
“Then we can go back to the classroom.……!”
“no.”
I shook my head while stopping Seon-ah, who was panting and trying to leave the health room..
“Even if I go back to the classroom, it probably won't be there.”
“.··why‘?”
Suna was about to run away when she looked back with a curious expression..
I sighed and tapped the access register..
“We didn't miss Kim Eun-jung. That doesn't make sense. There was no way out.”
“yes. That doesn't make sense.”
Kyungwon nods his head in agreement..
“We all stayed in our seats and watched closely. No matter how much I think about it, it's strange that I missed it..”
“then?”
“well.”
To the members who were at a loss as to how to accept this phenomenon, I proposed a bold hypothesis..
“It feels like reality is being manipulated.”
“what‘?”
Members with surprised expressions.
“···That's right. Is it a manipulation of reality?.”
Deokhoon mumbles it again like a line, wondering if that word fits the sensibility of a middle school student..
“···manipulation of reality?”
“huh. Reality is being manipulated so that we have a suitable excuse every time we become aware of Kim Eun-jong and follow her traces... this is my opinion.”
“crazy.”
Jinhee looks dumbfounded.
But it's not surprising.
“No surprise there. Everyone already experienced this yesterday. Memories with Kim Eun-jung that appeared in the album, fabricated memories of her parents, etc.……
“Yeah, that's right……
I don't know why, but I can't catch Kim Eun-jung right now..
I slowly began to explain it to the members..
“What Gyeongwon said earlier was right. We all stayed in our seats and monitored the classroom. It makes no sense to miss it. It would be better if the memories of the students in the class were being manipulated all the time..”
“I think it's possible, manager..”
“Even if we go back to class now, Kim Eun-jung will probably not be there with a good reason..”
“···Then how do you catch it?”
Suna asks nervously..
I'm worried too.
I don't know how things could go wrong if I just leave it like this..
It's true that we need to catch it first before something strange happens, but what should we do?.
“Kyungwon, something comes to mind.?”
“well.”
Kyungwon also looks confused.
“A ghost story that comes to mind, or something like that..”
“As far as ghost stories go, that's all I said yesterday.……
The ghost stories about a childhood friend that no one remembers that he compiled after listening to Jinhee's story yesterday..
But in the present case…….
‘Should I change the name to ‘The Ghost Story of a Friend Only I Can’t Remember’? What if a suspicious girl I don't remember at all approaches me and says she's been my friend since childhood?.
How should I deal with that?.
He's even a psychopath who kills animals that look like they have a screw missing.
If such a being shows off its friendship and tries to infiltrate our daily lives,?
Even if all the evidence points to us being friends?
After gathering my thoughts for a moment, I told my teammates what to do..
“First of all, there is too little information. First of all, before the ghost story, there is a real-life child named Kim Eun-jung. The first thing to do is find out if it was really a real person..”
Yes.
Kim Eun-jung, who was Jin-hee's best friend in elementary school..
Is she really a real person??
If he is alive and well somewhere, does he have any connection to the ghost stories that appear to us??
“I think it would be hard to know unless you go to the elementary school and ask.……
I nodded to Gyeongwon, who was speechless..
Anyway, I decided to visit after school today..
You just have to hold on until then.
“However, I can't sit still and suffer all day, so I think it would be a good idea to find out what kind of person Kim Eun-jung is as the students in my class know her. It's good to know a lot of things.”
“But manager……
Deokhoon said with a stupid expression on his face..
“What if the six of us spread out all over the school? Teacher's room, nurse's room, restroom, etc... I don’t think I can make any excuses if I lurk in all the places I can go and go around looking for them, but “Are you sure you were listening to what the manager said? You still can't catch it, you fool. There is no substance, there is substance.”
“Is that so?.”
Luckily, Gyeongwon crossed his arms and scolded me instead..
“Even if you search the whole school and make sure there are no excuses, you will still come up with new reasons for your absence, such as saying you left school early and went home..”
“Wow, this is so frustrating, fuck… I think it's right in front of me.”
Like Jin-hee, who has an impatient personality, she immediately shakes her fist, but that's the way it is when a friend is forgotten..
There are only rumors floating around here and there, but no one knows what it is like now..
Then, after the third period social studies class, members of the ghost story club walked around the class asking questions about Eun-jeong..
“A little curly? It's not like an old lady's perm, it's just a little curly? huh… The hair goes down to about the armpits... Why are you asking? Oh, I wanted to draw a caricature for you, but you weren't there..”
“Are you nice? really? What about studying? medium level……
I was asking my class about all sorts of strange reasons..
The vice-president of our class, Chae-rin, with cat eyes, watched the members walking around, crossed her arms, and fired..
“You guys are very interested in Eunjeong today..”
Then Jang Hoon, the handsome boy in our class, passes by and talks with a smile..
“They say it's the same club..”
“···what?”
Jang-hoon seems to have prostatitis and goes out the back door to go to the bathroom..
[Your understanding of the character Ban Jang-hoon has increased by 5..]
“for a moment!”
When I hurriedly called him back, he looked at me again and was puzzled..
“What else?”
“···It's nothing.”
I turned around and quietly opened the status window..
‘status window.’

I opened Kim Eun-jung's status window with a confused mind..

I spoke to my colleagues while breaking out in a cold sweat..
“Hey, guys. I'm going to go to the teacher's office for a moment. I have something to check.”
“Uh, yeah.”
Deokhoon nods his head roughly and continues his investigation..
“What does it look like? Please tell me again ”
“Big eyes, always smiling... As for the hair... should I say it's curly? It's slightly wavy... But why are you asking after seeing it in the morning?-”
While other members were eagerly asking their classmates about Kim Eun-jung, I quickly ran to the teacher's office..
Because I also have someone I must talk to about her..
“Do you mean Eunjeong??”
1In the first-floor teacher's office, our class's homeroom teacher twitches his ears and turns his head..
“yes. I can’t remember if it was there when I first submitted the application for the club, or if I joined later..”
“does it matter?”
“I need some……
A middle-aged man with a big belly, teacher Park, who is in charge of our class..
He is the one who accepted the application for the ghost story club and even saved the staff..
‘The best bet is to ask this person..’
“···I'm suddenly curious about that.”
“Please.”
I pleaded with my homeroom teacher once more, who muttered as if he was dumbfounded..
Of course, this person is part of the school faction that tried to kill me..
However, on the outside, he is just one of those adults who lives in society and fulfills his role as a teacher..
How did Eunjung Kim become a member of our club??
It wasn't something I couldn't ask as a student, and it wasn't an answer I couldn't give just because I was an evil force..
“please.”
I nodded firmly..
“I want you to tell me what you remember..”
“Well, I understand. Let's see……
Homeroom teacher quietly looking at the calendar.
It's been a while since everything happened in March, about two months ago..
“Hmm
The homeroom teacher, who was looking at the calendar as if trying to recall a memory, immediately clasped her hands over her protruding belly and leaned back in her chair..
“So, was it the first week of the entrance ceremony? Jun submitted his application to me with one member's name missing..”
“Yes, I remember. What about after that??”
“There, I secretly took away Jinhee, the remaining member.……
Up to this point, it's the same as I remember..
“And just before the first CA session on Friday, Hayun and Deokhoon, who had failed in the interview for another club, were put into their club.?”
“yes that's right.”
Hayun was eliminated from the book club, and Deokhoon was eliminated from the animation club..
After getting involved with the ghost story in a dream, I put them in our club..
That's the 7 original members I remember, including teacher Jang Hwa-eun..
“So what about Eunjeong? When did it come in??”
“Hmm? Eunjeong? I see... … ? see. When was it?……
I”
The homeroom teacher trembles in surprise as if something suddenly occurred to her..
“Oh no! Uh, how could that… Ugh, now that I think about it, Eunjeong……
Then he quickly calms down again..
“I remembered. Come to think of it, Eunjeong transferred to the school right after that..”
“···Transfer school?”
Homeroom teacher nodding his head calmly.
“I also forgot about it because it was at the beginning of the semester. Eunjeong is a transfer student. As I came halfway, I found out that joining a club happened to be a ghost story club made up of people from the same class..”
“…okay.”
Does that mean so?.
Kim Eun-jeong, my best friend from elementary school when I transferred to a new school when I was young..
Now that he has transferred to our school, he is being planted in everyone's memories..
“···First off, I understand. thank you.”
“Ho ho ho.”
Just then the bell rang for recess..
I asked everything I wanted to know, and I was just about to say hello and leave to prepare for the next class..
“Jun-i.”
“···yes?”
Homeroom teacher suddenly calls me out.
“I'm caught up in something strange again..”
