Hospital (2)
I woke up in the hospital with no memories.
But apparently, I had a girlfriend.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, drop-dead gorgeous, and an absolutely massive chest.
I was thrilled when I found out…
“Hey, maybe touching me will jog your memory~?”
“W-what…?”
“Like my chest, or my legs… or maybe…”
The next visitor after my girlfriend Ellie was a girl named Lana.
Our relationship was clearly not normal.
‘What the hell has Ares been doing…?!’
With a girlfriend that pretty…
Don’t tell me he’s been messing around with this girl on the side…
“Huh? You used to touch me every day~.”
“Every day…?”
“Yeah. In class, on the rooftop, during lunch…”
“……”
“Maybe if we do it like usual, your memories will come back?”
She was supposedly in the same class as Ellie.
Doing that kind of stuff in the classroom while Ellie was right there…
I was trash beyond anything I could have imagined.
Did this guy even feel guilt?
‘No, there’s something more important…’
I looked at Lana nervously.
She was sitting right beside me, fidgeting with her hands and smiling cutely.
Somehow, her behavior felt familiar.
I could tell, instinctively, that she wasn’t lying.
In that case…
“Um… Lana?”
“Yeah? What’s up?”
“So, about us… did we…?”
“Yeah.”
I met her eyes, feeling my face grow hot, and asked carefully.
“…Did we do it?”
“……”
Ellie and I hadn’t.
That much was certain.
Otherwise she wouldn’t have been so innocent and affectionate with me.
But…
Lana was different.
The way she touched me and the things she said were sticky, damp, and suggestive in a way Ellie’s never were.
When Lana heard my question, she grinned mischievously and teased back.
“Who knows~? Did we? What do you think?”
“……”
“We definitely know each other’s tastes, though. Favorite lengths, thicknesses, preferred plays…”
“……”
Her voice dropped to a whisper. I lowered my head.
‘──This is 100% a sexual relationship…!!’
Ares, you crazy bastard.
With a girlfriend like that…!
Even after an emotional reunion with someone he’d known since childhood…!!
‘This son of a bitch…!!’
Behind her back, he’d been living like an animal, pounding this lewd girl every chance he got.
After school in the classroom…
During lunch on the stairs…
Or on the school rooftop…
Whenever there was a spare moment, he’d been railing Lana.
“Pfft…! Are you that shocked?”
“……”
While I sat there silently, lost in thought, Lana laughed and patted my shoulder.
‘Does Lana know about Ellie and me?’
Should I ask…?
The moment the thought crossed my mind, I stopped myself.
‘Right. If past me told her, then she knows and still chose this relationship. If she doesn’t know… there must’ve been a reason I kept quiet.’
I had no memories right now.
Recklessly revealing sensitive information in this state was dangerous.
One wrong move and things could spiral out of control.
Yeah. Keep it secret for now and be careful not to get caught.
Once my memories return, I’ll make a proper decision then.
“Well, I should get going, Ares.”
“Huh? Already?”
Lana stood up and announced the visit was over.
Plenty of visiting time remained, so I looked at her in confusion.
She smiled playfully at my reaction.
“But if you don’t remember, you probably won’t do anything anyway.”
“Ugh…”
“Once your memories come back… let’s do it a lot then, okay?”
“……”
Then—
She leaned in and gently pressed her lips to my cheek.
Smack.
“Eek?! W-what was that?!”
“We do this every time. Don’t like it?”
“No, it’s just…”
“Or should I have gone for the lips instead?”
“……”
My eyes drifted to her soft-looking lips.
Lips… a kiss.
I almost nodded without thinking.
Just then—
She plucked a single strand of hair from my head.
“Ow!”
“And I’ll be taking some of your hair.”
“My hair?”
“I need it for something important. It’s for your sake.”
“……”
Thanks to that, I managed to snap out of her seduction…
But hair…?
What could she possibly need my hair for?
“Ah, and Ares.”
“Y-yeah?”
While I was still wondering about the hair, Lana, now holding her bag, waved and spoke.
“You’ve got time until the next visit, so say hi to your other friends too.”
“Other friends…?”
“Yeah. You always said you had friends in that place called the Gallery.”
“The Gallery…?”
Two things came to mind when I heard “Gallery.”
One was an art gallery.
The other was the internet kind…
Whoosh.
“Eek?!”
At that moment, a translucent window appeared in the corner of my vision.
“Alright, I’m off. See you next visit.”
“……”
Lana smiled softly at my reaction and left.
Once again, I was alone in the hospital room.
I immediately looked at the translucent window floating before me.
ㅁ When’s Ares getting here
ㅁ If he gets caught in a ghost story now, isn’t he screwed??
ㅁ When he shows up, make him take a pic of the nurse noona
ㅁ Can’t he just post some diary entries? Is that too much?
ㅁ If his memories never come back this’ll be hilarious lol
“……”
The familiar sight of an internet community unfolded before me—people posting and commenting back and forth.
It appeared like a hologram right in front of my eyes.
Strangely, the scene felt incredibly familiar.
I instinctively knew this was the Gallery I used to frequent.
Title: Hello…?
I heard I used to come here a lot.
I don’t have any memories right now.
Does anyone know me??
“What the hell is this…”
I clicked the link NightRat sent and read the post carefully.
The more I read, the more my mind went blank from disbelief.
The key points were simple.
The academy I attended was filled with ghost stories and supernatural phenomena.
Students were constantly under threat of death, so they could never let their guard down.
And I had to find real human girls.
I mustn’t confess to them, and I mustn’t do anything beyond kissing.
Sex was obviously out of the question.
“Wait, but…”
That raised a few questions.
Title: But I have a girlfriend and I had sex???
Confessing kills you
Having sex kills you
Then why am I still alive??
You lying bastards
“Huh…?”
She didn’t?
The atmosphere had been like we were straight-up sex partners…?
‘Now that I think about it, Lana never explicitly said we did it…’
Wait? We didn’t?
A spark of hope flickered inside me.
Maybe I wasn’t trash after all—maybe I’d just been tricked by Lana’s teasing??
Title: So Lana was lying?? lololol
Ha lololololol
I thought I was trash cheating on my girlfriend
Lana never directly said we did it
I just got tricked because I said stuff like “I bit Lana’s tits and touched her everywhere” lololololol
“……”
The hope crumbled instantly.
Ah, of course.
I really was trash.
“Damn it…”
Since sex was forbidden, he’d done everything else instead.
…Was I even sane?
‘No, maybe these guys are just lying to mess with me because I lost my memories…’
The whole ghost story and supernatural thing was hard to believe too.
This place looked like a perfectly normal hospital.
Plus, the idea that confessing or having sex would kill you sounded ridiculous.
The holographic system had almost convinced me for a second, but the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like a lie.
Obviously.
There’s no way such a stupid rule exists.
Whoosh.
“Huh…?”
Another user sent a link.
“A video…?”
I clicked the link without thinking and opened a post.
It was definitely posted under my account.
The attached video showed something.
“……What is this.”
In the video, a man was screaming.
It was sunset at the school.
In front of him, a pale woman with an enormous chest—someone who looked like Ellie—was walking toward him.
The man shouted at me to save him.
At the end of the video, he disappeared through the school gate into the darkness.
“……”
After watching the video, I had no choice but to believe them.
Just like they said, ghosts and supernatural beings existed here.
One wrong move and I could die.
‘Then the part about doing it killing you…’
I couldn’t just laugh it off anymore.
Until my memories returned, I’d better avoid anything beyond kissing.
Just then—
Knock knock knock.
“Eek?!”
Someone knocked on the hospital room door.
I checked the clock. It was already time for the next visit.
Time had flown while I was posting on the Gallery and checking things.
“C-come in.”
I answered toward the door, just like I had with Ellie and Lana.
‘Don’t tell me…’
I stared at the door nervously.
This time it’d be a male friend, right?
…Right?
While thinking that—
Click.
The door opened.
“Ares, are you feeling any better?”
Another pretty girl appeared.
‘Am I actually a horny beast…?’
How come not a single one of today’s visitors was a guy?
All of them were girls.
Ares must’ve only built connections with girls at school.
Well, to survive you had to find real human girls, so I understood…
‘…Don’t tell me she’s also… no way, right?’
I looked at the approaching girl with an uneasy heart.
“I heard, Ares. …You lost your memories.”
“Ah, yeah. You heard.”
“Yes. Are you okay? It must be terrifying if you don’t remember anything.”
“…A little, but I’m fine. They said I might recover.”
According to the Gallery folks, my memories should return soon.
They weren’t 100% certain, but they’d sensed signs of recovery.
Thanks to that, the anxiety I’d felt right after waking up had mostly faded.
━ Thank goodness…
Just then—
‘What…?’
A voice suddenly echoed in my head.
It sounded exactly like the girl standing in front of me.
━ I thought he’d be much more scared
━ I’m glad he looks calmer than expected
“……”
“Hehe, now that I think about it, if you don’t remember anything, you must’ve forgotten about me too. I’m Claire. We’re the same year, and we met at the cathedral.”
“Ah, I see.”
What was that?
Just now, it sounded like I could hear her thoughts.
Did I develop some kind of mental illness?
‘Right, they said to report anything weird to the Gallery immediately…’
I hurriedly opened the Gallery.
Even while talking to Claire, I could operate it with my mind.
My body seemed to remember the action.
Title: Found something weird;;
While talking to the girl who came to visit, I can hear her thoughts
Is this a mental illness?? Or is it one of those supernatural phenomena you mentioned??
‘This is insane…’
Being able to hear someone’s inner voice.
Well, with ghosts and supernatural stuff already existing, having a special power like this wasn’t that strange.
“You don’t remember anything at all?”
“Yeah… nothing. So they said I have to do rehab by talking about things I did with my friends.”
“I see…”
━ I need to help him recover his memories…
Hearing the pretty girl’s inner thoughts was quite the experience.
‘With this… I could find out secrets that people would never say out loud, right?’
I suddenly realized the infinite possibilities of this ability.
It all depended on how I used it.
Used correctly, I could uncover secrets the other person would never reveal.
‘No, you idiot…! You have Ellie…!’
I immediately shook my head and pushed the thought away.
What was I even thinking?
With a girlfriend already, getting horny over another girl.
Guess a trashy guy’s instincts never really go away.
Just then—
━ Then…
━ If I lie to Ares right now…
━ Would he believe it as the truth…?
Claire’s thoughts reached me.
━ No…! I can’t do that…!
━ The Lord would hate it…!
“……”
“……Hehe.”
Her inner voice was full of hesitation and conflict.
But the Claire standing in front of me was smiling gently.
In that moment, a faint sense of unease rose inside me.
“U-um… Claire.”
“Yes?”
“About us… we’re friends, right…?”
“……”
Gulp.
After the example with Lana, I asked nervously and waited for her answer.
With no memories, I still didn’t fully understand how much of a scumbag I was.
So maybe…
There could be another girl besides Lana.
But fortunately, Claire’s answer was positive.
“Of course. We’re friends.”
“R-really?”
“Yes. Very precious friends.”
Her gentle smile made me grin widely for a moment.
The anxiety in my chest melted away.
━ Of course…
━ We did plenty of shameful things though…
“……Huh?”
“Is something wrong?”
Her inner voice was telling a completely different story.
“C-Claire…”
“Yes.”
I spoke to her in a trembling voice.
“Could you… tell me about the things we did together? For the rehab treatment.”
“Ah, right. Hehe, we haven’t known each other that long, but I’ll tell you everything.”
After that, Claire smiled and began recounting our short memories together.
“I first met you at the cathedral. Ah, we’re the same year but different classes. You came to the cathedral for volunteer work…”
The beginning was normal.
But then—
“…We started getting closer after we watched a movie together.”
“……A movie?”
“Yes. You suggested we watch one together.”
━ It was super lewd…
“…It was a normal romance movie, but it was really fun. So during the volunteer period, you kept borrowing more movies and we watched them together…”
“……”
━ From the second one onward it got really intense…
━ I even masturbated secretly next to you…
━ You definitely noticed, right…?
━ Maybe it’s a good thing you forgot this part
“While doing that… you taught me all sorts of things I didn’t know. Ah, later on I started borrowing movies too and──”
“……”
━ Yours was really big…
━ I still remember… the veins, the shape, the scent…
━ The feeling when it touched my lips…
“After that we got really close. Even after the volunteer work ended, you kept helping me.”
“……”
━ You stared at mine really hard too…
━ Ah… just remembering it’s getting me wet again…
━ When I get back I’m going straight to masturbate…
━ I want to suck Ares’s cock…
━ Ah, since he doesn’t remember, maybe I can say something…
━ No… lying is bad…
“……”
“Ares…?”
“……”
“Are you okay…? Do you feel sick…?”
I lowered my head as Claire’s inner voice poured into me nonstop.
‘What the hell kind of guy am I…’
What exactly did I do to such a pure girl…
I already thought I was trash.
But now I was starting to realize I wasn’t just ordinary trash.
At this point…
The thought of recovering my memories was starting to scare me…
