“Mr. Jeon Jungkook?”



“Ah, Sei-ssi, you can go now.”


“I think I need to talk to this manager, Kim Nam-joon.”


“Oh, yes..!”


“Wait a minute, Seishu”


“Where are you going?”


“Get out of the way”


“Um...what if you don’t like it?”


“Get out of the way, I have something to tell you, Sei.”


“And don’t say useless things like you need humans in the hot springs.”




As Namjoon followed Seyun, Jungkook just stared at him.



“I guess this is an important fact?”


“What should I use this for-”


















“Hiya...it’s really big.”


“What kind of apartment is this?”



“It’s not an apartment, it’s a hot spring.”


“Oh, surprise!!”


“Oh, I didn’t mean to startle you, sorry.”


“Oh no, it’s my fault for being fearless.”


“But why is this hot spring so big?”


“That’s because there’s only one hot spring in the Yokai world.”


“Huh? There’s only one?”


"Yes, because the monster world has much less land than the human world."


“Of course the sea is wide.”



“Wow.. this is the first time I’ve heard of this story.”


“I thought the monster world would be bigger.”


“As expected, imagination and reality are different.”




“Sometimes imagination is better than reality.”


“Imagination comes true as you think about it.”



“Manager”


"yes"


“I guess humans are very weak to emotions.”


"yes...?"



“I was bullied when I was in the human world.”







‘Hey, you live separately from your parents?’


‘Then who do you live with?’


‘Or maybe your parents passed away?’




“Just because I live far away from my parents”


“I lived far away from my parents, so I lived with my grandmother.”





Grandma Lee


‘Hey, what happened to our dog?’


‘No, I just wanted to hug you once.’



“That’s why I relied on my grandmother so much.”


“But then, at some point, my grandmother passed away.”


“I have nowhere to turn and nowhere to talk.”




‘I heard your grandmother passed away.’


‘Are you living alone now?’



“My friends keep teasing me”



‘So, are you doing well?’


'...yes'


Oh, okay...


“I’m becoming estranged from my parents.”




‘If I fall here, will I get people’s attention?’


‘If I study well, my teacher will like me, right?’



“I started to want love more and more.”




“At that moment, I misunderstood and thought that even the kids who bullied me liked me.”


“Later, I thought that the kids bullying me was just attention, so I secretly liked it.”


“I was in a very bad mental state.”


“At some point, the kids discovered a tunnel leading to the world of monsters and sent me here.”


“It was good at first.”


“Because the kids who were bullying me are gone.”


“But when I actually got here, I missed the kids who used to bully me.”


“It was fun observing the kids.”




‘If you don’t guide, you lose! Rock, paper, scissors!’


‘I won!!’



“I loved seeing the kids having fun, laughing, and playing.”


“But I can’t see the kids playing here.”



“...”


“There is no such thing as affection here.”


“So we don’t have any friends.”


“That’s why the monsters don’t laugh.”


“Except for Jimin’s case.”



“Is Jimin the same case...?”


“Yes, Jimin is a being born from the love between a human and a monster that only happens once every 1,000 years.”


“That’s why there is such a thing as affection.”


“Of course, less than humans.”



"okay..."


“But why do you live in the monster world?”


“It was Jimin’s choice.”


“Because both my parents had to live apart.”


“Humans in the human world”


“The monsters are in the monster world”



“I chose one of them.”



“Don’t you think Jimin would like to go to the human world too?”


“Because my parents live apart...”



“Sometimes I dream of my parents living in the human world.”


“But that’s not easy.”



“Can’t monsters go to the human world?”


“Your human beings come in by mistake every ten years.”


“I’ve never really seen a monster go to the human world.”



"ah..."



“I’ve talked too long.”


“The smoking time is almost over.”


“Ah...I have to work...!”


“It’s okay. I’ll explain it to the manager.”


“Oh... thank you.”





As Namjoon left his seat, Seyun also left.






“That person is going to tell me everything about my past.”


“It feels like words are flowing out smoothly...?”

















“Hey, wake up.”


“How long are you going to sleep?”


“Umm...what time is it...?”


“It’s almost 7 o’clock already.”


“What time did you go to bed and wake up at night?”


“Humans sleep a lot, so...”



“Oh... I’m sorry.”



“If you’re sorry, get ready quickly and come out.”



"yes!"



“...Still, it’s lively and good.”









Seyeon, who had finished preparing, opened the door and went out.


When I opened the door and went out, the man I saw earlier was there.



“Oh, you haven’t left yet.”


"of course"


“I have something to tell you today.”



"yes..?"


“Aren’t janitors only supposed to clean?”



"ah..."



“Follow me”


“Hey, over there!!”
