The eleventh ghost story -
A friend no one remembers (10)
“Well, it worked……
Even the content of the text message was very normal..
We had no choice but to open our mouths..
“Manager, what should I say about this? Gyeongwon looks at me with a puzzled expression..
“More than I thought… He speaks well?”
“I know. “He’s a guy who can communicate.” Come to think of it, we've only been fighting traces of Kim Eun-jong so far, but we haven't attempted to talk to her directly..
‘There is reason?’
I was conflicted for a moment..
Among the ghost stories I've encountered so far, only a few have human shapes..
Because there was no one with whom I could communicate properly..
‘···It's really surprising, but if you can talk to someone, there might be another breakthrough..’
I took out my cell phone and entered Kim Eun-jung’s number..
[010-4444-4444]
“Hey, Jun! What should I do?……?”
Sun-a shrinks as if she’s nervous..
“I'll try calling. Maybe you're the type that can be resolved through conversation..”
“Umm… … ! Through conversation… … Gyeongwon in a cold sweat.
“Joe, okay. But you know……
He glances at his surroundings and places his hand on my shoulder..
“Let's go outside and do it, manager. Everyone is looking at us….”
Oops.
Only then did I feel the stinging eyes looking at the six of us..
“They were really noisy from earlier..”
“That's it? strange club?”
“We're all gathering together today and setting up a lot..”
“Why is a pretty girl like Hayoon involved in such a strange situation?.”
Students in class whispering while looking at us.
I was just running around trying to exorcise ghost stories as usual, but since the stage was a stage, it seems that it attracted attention..
“···okay. Let's go out and do it first..”
“huh.”
Leaving behind the whispers around us, we hurriedly opened the back door and went out into the hallway..
W IX
-r. -T.
We are listening to the call connection tone with nervous expressions..
Soon someone answered the phone..
click-
“… hello?”
Gooooooo.
Murmur.
rattle rattle.
On the other side of the phone, only unknown noises are heard instead of voices..
“…hello? Kim Eun-jung?” Gooooo.
Murmur.
rattle rattle.
［···♬ 》 ♬］
A familiar melody is soon heard through the cell phone..
What was it.
It's a melody I've heard a lot somewhere.…….
［♬》」♬］
We look at each other with puzzled expressions.
Soon Deokhoon raised his head with a surprised expression and a “oops” sound..
“This, this sound!”
［♬ This station is Sillim. This is Sillim Station. The door to get off is on the right.. ♬］
And the phone suddenly hangs up.
It is about a 20-30 minute walk from Sillim Station to this place..
By the time we arrive, it's exactly the time of the rites..
‘···Are you saying it's coming?.’
A text message comes to my phone right away.
ring-
[Eunjeong Kim]
[010-4444-4444]
- I'm sorry I called you. I can't hear my voice now. I think it will only take 30 minutes..
‘···A type that materializes over time?’
I quickly replied.
[What are you?] Tiring-
Then again, the text came immediately as if it had been entered by a machine..
[Eunjeong Kim]
[010-4444-4444]
- I'm Eunjeong! When I was young, I was your study rival. I don't remember?
“···Because we’re study rivals.”
This is a story I heard from my mom..
I tapped the keypad again and texted
sent.
[I don’t remember ever having a friend like that..]
ring-
As expected, the reply came right away.
[Eunjeong Kim]
[010-4444-4444]
- too bad. I was hurt.
“Are you trying to imitate it until the end?.”
“Uh, what should I do?……
“Hmm, let's see.”
I changed my strategy to look into the flaws in his logic..
[I heard you went to the same elementary school as Jinhee? But Jinhee went to Undang Elementary School and I went to Seoul Southern Elementary School. How do I explain this??]
[Eunjeong Kim]
[010-4444-4444]
- That's where I transferred schools midway through! I don't remember?
“···Transferring schools? What are you talking about?.”
“I think they're probably trying to get rid of the fact that they all matched up with friends who went to different schools by transferring schools..”
“Transferring schools within the same Sillim-dong?” It’s ugly, Eunjeong..
“Let’s also attack the part about Seon-ah and Hayun being partners..”
I'm sure it's not true that he transferred to four schools in the same Sillim-dong neighborhood..
Tak-tak-tak-tak-tlink-
Tak-tak-tad-tak-tik-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-dak-
We were texting for a while.
[So, according to you, you lived in a foreign country until the second grade, then moved to Seoul in the third grade and attended Seoul Southern Elementary School. In the fourth grade, you went to Undang Elementary School, and in the fifth grade, you went to Sillim Elementary School, and then you went back to a private elementary school and graduated with Hayun. going to be?]
［Eunjeong Kim］
［010-4444-4444］
- Yes~ I mean, I played some games on the internet with Deokhoon~ I also went to the US to study for a while.7 ~
“So shameless, you bastard..”
“I'm not teasing you on purpose?”
We all couldn't help but click our tongues at this ridiculously clear logic..
［It's not America, it's heaven, baby］
ring-
[Eunjeong Kim]
[010-4444-4444]
-Don’t curse, Jun. ㅠㅠ
“Phew... I'm pissed..”
“What should I do, manager? We can't communicate.”
I also sighed and pushed the content to just happen as it should..
“I can't help it. I have no choice but to throw a fastball..”
Crack-tap-tap-tap-
[You're a ghost story sent by the devil. Maybe class B or C? Yesterday at Jinhee's house, I know it came out because it was tied to the ghost story of 'A friend from school days that no one remembers'..]
Then the reply arrived right away, as if I had been waiting for it..
ring-
- Nope. I'm really Eunjung, but I didn't care about his reaction and just pushed forward with what I was curious about..
[What the hell are you guys? Why are you doing this to us??]
[What is the devil? It's like a god?]
[Why did this strange game system come about??]
[Are you really ghosts who died, or are you devils who were never even human??]
ring-
［Eunjeong Kim］
［010-4444-4444］
-Jun, if you keep asking me strange things, I get angry.
［Get angry or give me an answer.］
- I don't know, I have no idea what you're talking about.
［You came to school this morning. I was running late, so I stayed in the health room until the second period. But why did it suddenly change to studying abroad??］
- I was at school in the morning to pack my bags, and at lunch I went to catch a flight, but it was canceled, so I'm going back now. But Deokhoon asked me to come tomorrow, so I put it off for a day..
［Fuck you bastard］
ㅠㅠ Don’t curse.
“Phew, I’m so mad… This guy can't speak.”
It's just a style that doesn't make sense and is just unreasonable..
“it's okay. Stop it, manager. Don't get upset. I'm not even a person.”
Gyeongwon calms me down when I'm shaking..
“Since I postponed it to tomorrow, I have some time to spare. After finishing, let’s go to Jinhee’s school first..”
“okay……
At that moment, the cell phone rings again.
- I promised to go to school tomorrow, but when I finish and have time, how about seeing it first today??
We are 7 villages.
[Fuck off, fuck you. I won’t watch it.] Tiring-
- Why, let's play together.
- let's play together.
- let's play together.
- let's play together.
- I'm behind you now.
We look back.
ring-
[Eunjeong Kim]
[010-4444-4444]
- Sorry, just kidding! But really, we're almost there. I'll wait in front of the school.

[2019Wednesday, May 1,, 15：32]
[Lee Jun - 2nd episode]
[ghost story point : 66]
[causality : 14%]
“quickly, quickly!”
“Heh, heh.”
As soon as the bell ceremony was over, we quickly packed our bags and ran out of the classroom..
“Yes, the counselor is there now! But for a long time, because of work.....”
“run!”
We sprint across the playground to the street in front of the school and catch bus number 152 coming towards us..
“No one is chasing me?”
“Get in, quickly..”
Beep -
[I am a student.]
[I am a student.]
Right after Gyeongwon and Hayun took a picture on their cell phones, Deokhoon and I used our transportation cards, and Suna and Jinhee put in coins and boarded the car..
Beep -
[Hakkyungikshungokgukgukgukguk-]
The sound of swiping a transportation card rang out once more, and then a guidance voice made an unknown pronunciation..
I looked back for a moment, but there was no one there..
‘quickly, quickly.’
That doesn't mean the bus is going fast, but we're shaking with nervousness for no reason..
Soon the bus moved to three stops and stopped in front of the supermarket..
Squeak-
“think! Get down, get down!”
“Run about 200 meters along the alley and you will come out..”
“Run, fuck you.”
After we got off in a hurry.
Even though no one is there, we run along the narrow road in a hurry, leaving behind the notification sound that comes from the bus transportation card machine..
I quickly passed by a tailor shop, a noodle restaurant, and a real estate store, and quickly arrived at the main gate of Undang Elementary School, catching my breath..
“Whoa, whoa... There's no sign of anyone chasing me.?”
“Whoosh, whoosh, even if it comes, I can’t stop it… Let's go quickly......
Soon Jinhee confidently entered her alma mater, and we quickly followed behind her..
“ This way.”
Jinhee enters the main building of the elementary school and walks down the hallway as if she is familiar with it..
It's been a while since I visited my alma mater, so I'm feeling uneasy and wandering around here and there..
We too are taking a breather and cooling off for a moment..
“here.”
［counseling room］
1A separate classroom located opposite the health room at the end of the hallway on the first floor..
A sign hanging above indicates that this is a counseling room..
“What are you doing. Let's go in.”
“hey! Just sleep……
Jinhee stands in front of the door and hesitates for something..
Elementary school students leave school after only having lunch, so the school is quiet at 4 p.m..
The light is on and a rustling sound is heard to see if there is someone in the consulting room..
“why? It won't go in?”
“Just sleep.”
Jinhee, who is usually outspoken, appears strangely hesitant..
No matter how much she is, is it still nerve-wracking to meet the teacher who was so upset when she was young?.
“···open.”
“Please open it quickly. Why are we even opening it?.”
‘Deok-hoon says ‘open it’ and grumbles at Jin-hee who is standing still..
at that moment.
[Who are you? Please come in.] As many as six people crowded in front of the door, perhaps feeling unpopular, a friendly female voice came from inside the consultation room..
In the end, Jinhee closes her eyes tightly and opens the door to the counseling room..
“···teacher.”
A woman in her early 30s who looked elegant and neat was sitting at her desk organizing documents..
I look at Jinhee for a moment and stop..
There is silence for a moment, but then the woman smiles..
“Seven Princesses of Undang Elementary School Jinhee Lee.”
“… Teacher. Embarrassingly……
Jinhee hesitates, embarrassed..
6Teacher and student meet after a year.
After briefly exchanging words, there was a moment of awkwardness between the two..
“Don't stand, come in.”
“… yes.”
Soon the teacher smiled and responded first..
Jinhee avoids gaze and enters hesitantly..
Unlike how he usually acts as he pleases in front of us, he suddenly looks like he has become a herbivore..
Then, we rush in behind us..
“Please excuse me. I'm Jinhee's friend..”
“nice to see you.”
“hello.”
Rumble.
“oh.”
A teacher who only deals with small elementary school children and is surprised when a group of grown-up high school students who he has never met before suddenly flock to him..
The counseling room, which was supposed to be just like our club room, was suddenly filled with six 17-year-old high school students..
“be surprised I don't know what's going on, but I want to sit on the couch.?”
Fortunately, the teacher responded with a smile..
Compared to high school teachers who are stressed out about entrance exams, they seem to feel more relaxed..
