1. The scent of barking is the weakest and the faintest scent is the strongest.
"I'm back again"
When I opened my eyes, I was back where I started, and the book was still there. And the book smelled even stronger of roses than before.
" ah..! "
I strained my legs to get up, but my feet were throbbing, perhaps from the burns I'd received earlier in the room. I looked at them and they were red and inflamed.
".. At this rate, I won't be able to even open the door, let alone play the game."
at that time -
"Hmm... I have to play the game first."
" ... "
It's really poisonous. No, if you're sick, you can rest for a while, but they come to fix you right away. Is it really that good to see people scared? It's really psychotic.
"This is awesome..."
A cold wind blew past my feet, making them red and sore, but then it subsided. Ha... I guess I'll have to go again.
So, I walked confidently with my feet feeling better and opened the door to the next room.
2. Another obsession within an obsession
"No... Where am I?"
Universal Factory...? Is it some kind of factory? What's the obsession here?
So I went into the building and when I went in, everyone there bowed 90 degrees to me.
All. I guess I'm the chairman here... or something like that.
"Excuse me...where is the chairman's office?"
"Huh? Why are you asking that? You always find the answer."
"Huh? Ah..haha I forgot for a moment. Thank you."
" no! "
" .. phew "
In the end, I decided to go to the chairman's office alone.
"Ha..where are you"
No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find the chairman's office. And the building actually had 20 floors. Oh my... I can't believe I'm sweating this much in this fall season.
at that time -
"..? The heroine?"
" ..?! Mom..!! "
"It's been a while. What brings you here today? The concept meeting ended last time... Oh, is today the recording day? I've been so out of it lately..."
"Ah.. no, that's not it. I just wanted to see the chairman."
"Why me..?"
"I... I miss you, Chairman!"
"Huh.. If that's the reason, then I welcome it. Should we go to the chairman's office first?"
"Ah...yes"
So we went up to the chairman's office together.
Inside the elevator -
"But you know where my room is, so why are you there?"
"Oh.. I went there but he wasn't there? Haha.. So"
"Didn't my secretary tell you? She said she went to a meeting."
"Ah... well... well?"
The elevator finally arrived on the 20th floor, and I followed the chairman down. So, is this Lee Ji-hoon?
What the... When I came here earlier, there was nothing here...? Why?
"Hey, come in quickly."
"Oh yes!"
The inside of the chairman's office was neat and black. And there was no clock. As expected... this was the right person. After looking around and sitting on the sofa, I saw the flower and the vase containing it on the table next to me.
This time it seemed quite alive again, a faint purple hue returning. But it was still dark.
at that time -
"Are you interested in flowers?"
"Ah.. no, that's not it, but for some reason I'm drawn to that flower.. "
"Do you know what kind of flower that is?"
" .. Yes, it's Purple Rose, right? Haha"
" ..you know very well"
"It has the strongest scent."
"Hmm... Is that really true? Haha"
" ... "
Lee Ji-hoon came towards me, passed me, went to the table, and picked up a vase containing purple roses.
"..Do you know how dangerous this flower is?"
"Yes. If you do it wrong, you can become addicted or hallucinate."
"Why are roses beautiful?"
" yes? "
"A rose, even though it has thorns, even though it may hurt someone, is used by the person it loves and is always loved. Do you know why?"
"Why... are you saying that?"
"The rose is so weak, yet so strong... Its faint scent is the most attractive. And above all, it can protect you. That's why people seek it out more."
"..I don't think so."
" yes? "
"Why are roses so strong? Even though they have sharp thorns, they are flowers that die immediately if someone steps on them lightly without looking at them. And the reason they are the most popular plants is... I think it's because they are so valuable."
" .. that's an interesting story "
"So, I too... want to try putting up a thorn once."
"What are you talking about?"
"I have someone I want to save. Let's record today."
" .. great "
"I hope this has had a big impact on the Chairman's thinking."
So, after a while, I went into the recording studio and the lyrics were full of sweet stories. Among them was the word "I love you," but since it was just lyrics, I just passed it over.
The recording went smoothly, and Lee Ji-hoon looked really cool while recording. Wow... It really is true that he looks his best when he's working.
After finishing the recording like that -
"First of all, thank you for recording so well. Let's do well on this project."
" thank you "
Lee Ji-hoon extended his hand to me, and I took it and shook his hand. Then, shortly after, I lost consciousness, and I lost track of Lee Ji-hoon's last words.
3. After facing reality
"But... the three of you said that the obsessions were relieved..."
Yes. Choi Seung-cheol, Yoon Jung-han, Hong Ji-soo, and Kwon Soon-young were severe, but the other three, although not too much, passed quite smoothly... No, I can't say I was obsessed.I couldn't help it. Did you just give me a little strength because it looked so hard..?
at that time -
System - You have cleared stage 96. Moving on to stage 97. Good luck.
"Luck is a piece of shit... It only gives me misfortune."
So I grumbled and opened the door to the next room.
