School of Terror...?
Episode 5: Hide and Seek


Today was the weekend, so I slept late and woke up at midnight.


류수정
Talking on the phone...


류수정
I'm bored..

Ring ring ring! - The sound of a phone ringing


류수정
hello?


김태형
Honey, do you want to meet up today?


류수정
Oh! I was just bored...


류수정
What time should we meet?


김태형
Let's meet in front of Linus Park around 2 o'clock.


류수정
Okay~ See you later

The phone is disconnected


류수정
What time is it?

12:56 AM
It's almost 1 o'clock


류수정
I need to prepare

01:25 PM
As I was getting ready, it was almost 1:30.


류수정
Can I leave in 30 minutes?

30 minutes have passed

As 2 o'clock approached, I arrived in front of Linus Park.


류수정
Is Taehyung still far away...?

I turned on my phone screen to call Taehyung...


김태형
Honey!


류수정
Taehyung!!

As Taehyung appeared, Jungkook and Eunbi appeared next to him.


류수정
Did you call Eunbi and Jungkook too?


김태형
huh!


류수정
What about Jisoo and Seokjin?


김태형
They are dating now


류수정
Oh really?

The four of us started walking towards the city.

There were so many people that I kept stumbling and bumping into things.


김태형
Soo-jeong, hold my hand tightly


류수정
huh

Taehyung and I walked holding hands so we wouldn't be apart.

Meanwhile, Jeongguk and Eunbi, who were following behind,


전정국
Hey!! Let's go together!


황은비
Ah, come quickly! I mean, Soojung and Taehyung have to get along!

At that moment, a man from behind pushed Eunbi forward.

Eunbi is about to fall down in an instant...!


황은비
Eww!!

Eunbi closes her eyes tightly as she is about to fall.

Thump!!


황은비
?(Why doesn't it hurt..?)

When I opened my eyes


전정국
Hey...are you okay..?


황은비
///huh...


전정국
I told you before, be careful.

And Jeongguk grabbed Eunbi's wrist and followed Soojung and Taehyung.

cafe_


류수정
Ugh...there are so many people, I'm already tired...


김태형
Still, you came all the way here. Good work.

and gave me a cafe mocha


김태형
And what kind of cake should we eat?


전정국
I like cheesecake


황은비
If it's cake, it has to be tiramisu!!


김태형
Then I'll buy tiramisu


류수정
huh!!


황은비
Soo-jung, how did you get here? There were so many people it was hard to get around.


류수정
Taehyung protected me from behind. What about you?


황은비
me...?

Eunbi's face turned red as she remembered Jungkook's actions earlier.


황은비
////I just... came separately..


류수정
?


류수정
When I saw you earlier, Jungkook, you were holding Eunbi's wrist, right?

Eunbi was about to speak when Jeongguk cut her off and spoke honestly.


류수정
Just buy both of you


류수정
Then there are three couples...


황은비
No!! This kid is so greedy!


전정국
?

After waiting a bit, Taehyung brought tiramisu.


류수정
Wow~ This looks delicious!

We filled our bellies with cakes at the cafe for about an hour.

I left the cafe and went shopping.

Eunbi and I went shopping for clothes, and Taehyung and Jungkook went to a PC room.

As we were having fun, the sun had already set and it was night.


류수정
I feel good being here


김태형
Are you feeling better after crying?


류수정
huh!


황은비
Maybe because it's downtown, the atmosphere is really nice.


전정국
Hey, what time is it?


황은비
Hey...don't ruin the mood


전정국
What's wrong?


김태형
Now...7:25...


류수정
It's getting late. Let's go back quickly.

08:43 PM
After riding the bus for a while, I got off near our school and it was almost 9 o'clock.


황은비
It's too dark?


전정국
Hey, are you scared?


황은비
Oh..no?!


김태형
It'll take a long time to get home, right?


류수정
I think so..


전정국
Then shall we go to our alley?


류수정
What if someone follows you down the alley?


김태형
It's okay.. I'll protect you.


류수정
I'm anxious...

We walked down the alleyway, following Jeongguk's instructions.

After walking for a while, I suddenly heard a man's voice from behind.

?
Where are you really?


류수정
Taehyung, it seems like someone is following you from behind..


김태형
who..?

When Taehyung looked back, there was no one there and he couldn't hear anyone following him.


황은비
There's no one here?


류수정
Hey, I'm scared..

Sujeong was whining because she was scared. Then, a man's voice was heard again from somewhere.


황은비
Hey.. are we going to get it right?


전정국
I'll go and take care of it


황은비
no!

Eunbi grabbed Jungkook's hand to stop him from leaving.


황은비
////sorry//


김태형
Let's hide for now...

The four of us entered a building with a sense of unease.

It was eerie because it was a closed building.


류수정
I'm scared.. (crying)


김태형
Sujeong-ah, don't cry..


류수정
Huhㅠㅠ


황은비
Anyway, let's hide quickly


황은비
I don't know if that guy came in here earlier.


류수정
okay..

We went into an empty room and hid out of sight.

?
I think I came in here...?

The man came in and opened the doors of each empty room to check.


김태형
Are you checking each empty room?


전정국
Hey, I told you I'd go and get it done myself?


황은비
Hey, you shut up


황은비
Soo-jeong, are you okay?


류수정
I'm scared...sob...

Sujeong burst into tears, perhaps because the atmosphere was dark and scary.

And Taehyung comforted Soojung who was crying.


김태형
Sujeong-ah, don't cry...

(rustling..!)


황은비
what

It was so gross that I only did half of it.

It turned out there was a spider hanging from a corner of the ceiling.


황은비
A...a spider...


전정국
spider?


김태형
Where's the spider?


황은비
Over there in the corner...

Sujeong raises her head after crying

I screamed when I saw a spider


류수정
Gyaaaaaaaah!

(Suddenly!)

?
You were here?


전정국
Oh...don't come!! Don't come near me..!

Jungkook and Taehyung blocked the path of Soojung and Eunbi, who were crying, and shouted loudly.

however...

The man following us was none other than our homeroom teacher.


김남준
Did you know I was looking for you and were there?


김태형
yes..


전정국
sorry..


황은비
Teacher, have you been following us from the beginning?


김남준
?


황은비
At first, Soo-Jung said that it seemed like someone was following him.


김남준
I saw you guys going into the closed building and followed you in.


전정국
Oh, I see... Yes?!!


김태형
Weren't you following me?

Our net was completely goosebumps-inducing

End!

The atmosphere seems to be getting scarier and scarier...

I was going to write a hide-and-seek story, but I tried writing it out of fear!

I think the next episode will be focused on horror as well.
