◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
I closed the door and searched the room thoroughly.
From the closet to under the bed.
Just in case, I opened the window and looked around.
Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, there were no traces of a person.
No, it was unfortunate.
Because it meant that I was basically trapped in this room.
I put my ear to the door and listened to what was happening outside.
Thump, thump.
My heart pounded violently, and cold sweat trickled down my face, over my chin, and down my neck.
The fear that arose in my mind gave meaning to every little sound that I had previously brushed aside and made it grow larger.
Fear and imagination were a good match, creating a situation where I was confronting a vicious intruder with a locked door between us.
Was it my misunderstanding?
Was it possible that I unconsciously threw away the triangular kimbap wrapper and then forgot about it?
No.
I clearly remember seeing it on the table.
Someone had definitely entered this house.
I didn’t know if they were still in the house.
No, there was a high probability that they were still in the house.
I focused all my senses on my ears to observe the situation outside.
No matter how still someone is, it is inevitable to feel a person’s unique presence.
Hmm… Maybe there’s no one.
My heart wanted to kick down the door, turn on all the lights in the house, and scream, but I couldn’t bring myself to move.
‘Fuck, fuck… why does this kind of thing have to happen to me…’
Someone, please help me.
Then, a good idea suddenly came to mind.
‘Let’s call On-yu.’
If I said I was scared or anxious, On-yu’s personality would definitely make her come.
I didn’t think about what would happen if On-yu met the intruder in the house.
No, it was closer to “who cares,” because I was scared.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
I picked up my phone and sent her a message.
– Are you asleep?
– No, I was just about to sleep.
A reply came as soon as I sent the message.
– Oh, I see.
– Why? Is something wrong?
She was quick on the uptake.
– No, I’m just a little anxious and it’s a little scary to be alone. The house is big too.
– Really? Then should I come over now?
On-yu’s overprotectiveness was shining at times like this.
Thanks to her, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
– It’s late, are you sure it’s okay?
I asked out of courtesy.
She wouldn’t refuse anyway.
– We’re right next door. My mom and dad will understand.
– I’d appreciate it. I’m doing something right now, so just open the front door and come in.
– Okay.
Now, when On-yu came in, there would be a sound if someone was in the house.
Then I could catch the intruder with On-yu.
It was 2 against 1, so we should be able to subdue them.
The fact that reinforcements were coming made me feel braver than before, and I was finally able to move away from the door.
I sat down in front of the computer that was still on and then remembered that I had downloaded the Word files earlier.
“Let’s see… the most recent one.”
I opened the Word file with the most recent date.
XX Year X Month X Day.
Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look.
Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look.
“What the… what is this…”
Neat font, but the content was anything but normal.
A chill ran down his spine.
Even when I turned the page, the same words were repeated.
The small scroll bar on the right showed the number of pages in this Word document.
Even if I kept scrolling down by turning the wheel, only the words “Don’t look at it.” were written.
I grabbed the scroll bar and dragged it all the way down.
Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look.
I said don’t look.
.
.
.
Shin On-yu.
Knock knock.
A knocking sound was heard.
“In-ho, it’s me. Open the door.”
A voice that was pleasant to the ear came from the other side of the door.
“Yeah, just a second.”
“What? Were you watching porn?”
“No, I wasn’t.”
I deleted all the downloaded Word files and logged out of the cloud storage.
While casually responding to On-yu, who was urging me to open the door quickly, I grabbed the doorknob, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
But, why didn’t I hear the sound of the front door opening?
