Hide and Seek <Horror>
Chapter 4 | Doubt
Crazy and dazzling._
A loud noise echoed through the hallway, and after a few minutes it became quiet again.
최연준
What the...
유민석
...isn't that a ghost?
최수빈
...don't worry about it
최수빈
We have to go to the supply room..
Soobin was suspicious of the loud noise just now, but decided to ignore it.
유민석
Yeah.. let's go quickly;
유민석
I really don't like this hallway..;;
최연준
...you little shit, you're so annoying
유민석
her?
유민석
What are you talking about, it's not like that;;
최연준
...lol
...
..
.
Clank.-
So we opened the door to the supply room and entered.
최연준
It's more ordinary than I thought..
최수빈
..!?
유민석
What the heck, why is he here..???
강태현
...
I found Taehyun collapsed in the corner of the supply room.
강태현
...
Taehyun closed his eyes tightly and collapsed without any reaction, as if he had lost consciousness.
최연준
Hey!!!;; Come to your senses
최연준
Kang Tae-hyun!!!
As soon as Yeonjun saw Taehyun like that, he shook Taehyun's body violently.
강태현
...blanket
강태현
...eww
강태현
...ugh,
Taehyun slowly began to open his closed eyes, as if he had come to his senses at the sound of Yeonjun's voice.
최수빈
Taehyun, are you awake?
강태현
...
강태현
......where is this place
Taehyun was still in a state of confusion and couldn't even remember where he was.
유민석
It's a supply room, Inma..;;!!!
유민석
It was clearly locked before we came in, how did we get in;;
강태현
....ah
강태현
...it wasn't a dream
최수빈
?
최연준
What does that mean?
강태현
...
강태현
...Black smoke suddenly came into the break room and swallowed me up.
강태현
I don't remember anything after that, but I do remember things occasionally...
강태현
I saw a boy here
최수빈
A boy..?
강태현
Yeah, about 10 years old.
강태현
It was a boy who looked like an elementary school student, and I think he... brought me here...
유민석
Is this kid possessed by a ghost..??
강태현
...I don't know
최연준
So what did the boy say?
최연준
Didn't you say anything?
최연준
Where am I, and why is this happening?
강태현
...
강태현
...I don't know
강태현
just...
강태현
They keep asking me to save them
유민석
You want me to save you?
강태현
yes..
강태현
After saying that, he started sobbing... So I strained my eyes to look closely at the child...
강태현
The child had no eyes on his face.
강태현
It's not that the eyes are missing, but they're sunken in, as if someone dug them out artificially...
최연준
...
최수빈
...Are you hurt anywhere?
강태현
Yeah.. I think so
유민석
The more I think about it, the stranger it gets.
유민석
Why did that little ghost bring you here..;;
최수빈
I wonder what he was trying to say...
최연준
what.
최수빈
...I don't know that yet
강태현
...
최연준
But then what about the guys who were with me?
최연준
Chaerin, Mirae, and Seth were together
최연준
Are they okay?
강태현
I don't know..
강태현
At that time, I also lost consciousness at that moment..., I don't remember
유민석
...Isn't this a dangerous situation?
최연준
...
최수빈
...Let's go to the break room
We headed to the break room in a hurry with Taehyun who had come to his senses.
...
..
.
Knock.-
황지예
..!!
김여주
Hey guys..??
김여주
What, Taehyun... where have you been?
강태현
...that is,
award
situation
Situational theory
Situation explanation
김여주
...I see
유민석
But are you guys okay?
최연준
They said they were attacked by ghosts.
신무연
...
황지예
...
김여주
...
윤미래
...
We were all speechless and avoided their eyes.
유민석
What the~, why are you guys like this..
최연준
But, Chaerin
최연준
Why can't I see Min Chae-rin?
김여주
...
신무연
...it's late.
Muyeon quietly pointed to Chaerin's body wrapped in a cloth.
유민석
...?
최수빈
...no way
최연준
...
김여주
..that's how it happened
김여주
...
유민석
...That's ridiculous
유민석
...no.
유민석
...under?
Minseok denied that Chaerin's body was inside the white cloth placed in front of him.
No, I wanted to deny it.
The rest of the guys probably feel the same way too.
It would be hard to believe that our club member, who was a member of the same club, died here.
최연준
...But why is Yoonmirae okay?
윤미래
...I am
황지예
Mirae was also injured, and there was severe bleeding in her abdomen.
최수빈
..are you okay?
윤미래
...Yes, I'm fine
강태현
...
강태현
But why is it so dry?
Taehyun lifted the cloth and asked while checking Chaerin's body.
황지예
!! He's so fearless;;
Ji-ye was startled by Tae-hyun's actions of calmly lifting the cloth.
강태현
I think I need to check...
김여주
...
Taehyun is sometimes so cold-hearted... Seriously... He's my younger brother, but I guess I should say he's amazing... He's scary...
강태현
But isn't it strange?
최연준
what
강태현
...Why is the body dried up?
강태현
It's like all the moisture was sucked out in those few minutes.
신무연
That's why
윤미래
...because my soul was sucked out
최수빈
?
윤미래
They say that shadow ghosts eat people's souls, so people whose souls have been sucked out like that end up withered and twisted, as if all the moisture has been sucked out.
황지예
Oh..so...
김여주
...
김여주
...let's stop talking about this
김여주
We have to find the other scattered ones too..!
The heroine brightened the dark atmosphere.
신무연
That's true...
신무연
There are still too many people scattered
신무연
And I can't even tell if it's life or death.
최수빈
...
김여주
How did the investigation go?
유민석
...nothing special-
유민석
Just scraps of paper, old materials
유민석
There was nothing suspicious except this article.
Minseok handed over an old newspaper he had found in the data room.
김여주
...
황지예
...an elementary school student missing? That's horrible.
신무연
Is this an unsolved case?
강태현
...
강태현
...?
Taehyun pointed to a newspaper article as if he had discovered something.
최연준
What, why are you like that?
강태현
..blanket
강태현
..this is him,
강태현
..it's him, the boy I just saw.
Taehyun pointed to the photo of the missing boy in the data.
유민석
Really? Did I see something wrong??
강태현
Yes, it's definitely that kid.
강태현
The face, body, and clothes are all the same.
최수빈
Then it must be related to this incident...
최수빈
The reason we're stuck here...
신무연
...
신무연
...Park Dae-hee, 10 years old
Muyeon read the material Taehyun had pointed out again.
황지예
...You're too young
윤미래
...poor thing
김여주
Let's investigate this incident.
김여주
You might be able to figure out a way out..!
유민석
What, can you help me become a Buddha?
황지예
..Senior, why are you saying that,,
유민석
Why, then wouldn't that work?
유민석
Hey, Shin Mu-yeon, how can you help me become a Buddha?
유민석
I heard your grandmother was a shaman...;;
신무연
...It was my grandmother who received the divine revelation, not me.
유민석
Mr. Ha, then what should I do........-
최수빈
We have no choice but to find out...
강태현
...If it's information that was in an old newspaper, you might be able to find it on the internet.
최연준
But, since I fell here, not only the internet but even my phone won't turn on?
황지예
..com..computer room!
황지예
Wouldn't a computer lab be okay!?
김여주
Yeah! There was a computer lab in the school, right!
Yeoju remembered that there was a computer room on the map.
최연준
Okay, let's go to the computer lab quickly.
최수빈
Yeah, let's split up our team first.
최수빈
If you go in a group like this, it's easy to get caught by that ghost.
강태현
Let's split into a computer room investigation team and a team to find the remaining members.
김여주
okay
강태현
First, I'll be investigating the computer room.
황지예
Then, I also go to the computer lab..
최연준
me too
윤미래
...me too
김여주
Taehyun, Jiye, Mirae, and Minseok are in the computer lab
김여주
The rest of us, Soobin, Muyeon, and Yeonjun, let's go find them.
최수빈
We'll go to the teachers' office when we find the other kids. If you find anything in the computer lab, come down to the teachers' office.
최수빈
Got it?
모두
(Nod)
So we split into two teams and started investigating.
...
4th floor
Step by step...
최연준
Why is this elementary school so dreary...
김여주
Because it's a closed school... Even if it wasn't...
최수빈
...are there kids on the 4th floor?
신무연
I have to look it up..
김여주
right..
...
신무연
...Senior Yeoju
Muyeon grabbed my sleeve and cautiously called out to me.
김여주
...huh?
신무연
I know I really shouldn't be suspicious...
신무연
In a little while, we will also stop by our computer lab.
김여주
Yeah? Other kids went to the computer lab.
신무연
...I have a bad feeling about something
신무연
Even if Taehyun lost consciousness because of a ghost...
신무연
While Chae Rin's body was dried up, I'm concerned that Yoon Mi Rae only had a wound on her abdomen.
김여주
...
김여주
...Okay, I understand (whispering)
김여주
Hey guys, if they're not on the 4th floor, let's stop by the computer lab for a bit.
신무연
Yes, senior...
