Chapter 3

Ughhh

A moan escaped from my mouth.

Ah, my head

The back of my head felt like it had been pounded with a hammer, and I fell to the ground with a thud.

-Rustle.

After a moment of tossing and turning, I felt my body sinking softly into something soft and I realized that I was lying on the bed.

Did I fall asleep? What time is it? I have to go to work

I couldnt open my eyes. It was not easy even to turn over as if I my whole body was oppressed by something. And to make matters worse, the nauseous sensation that had risen from my stomach a while ago was urging me to vomit.

Ugh

Gulp

As my stomach contracted, the bitter gastric juices flowed up my throat and flowed down to my teeth.

Damn what did I do yesterday

My body felt terrible.

Maybe I didnt wake up, so my head wasnt working properly. Adding to that, the hazy and heavy sensation that had dominated my body for a long time after becoming conscious was added to it, and I felt as if I was floating in my dream.

I rolled my head and tried to recall what had happened the day before.

Came home from work. Chicken and beer

right. I set it up to soothe my sad heart because of the failed novel. I also planned to read the novel that I had been saving.

Took a bite of a chicken leg

The taste of crispy fried chicken leg that had not yet cooled down came to mind.

and then?

I remembered what happened next

The time when I was chewing and swallowing chicken leg into my mouth, I felt the blunt sensation of being hammered on the back of my head and saw the shadow of a person in my falling vision.

Human, human shadow.

For a brief moment, a chilling sensation took over my body.

That moment when my body shuddered lightly and I was seized with fear, I felt a soft cloth touching my cheek, stained with my own vomit.

Whowhos..?

My voice trembled, and a dry, cracked sound leaked out of my mouth. My mind was still groggy and my language was barely understandable.

Rustle. Rustle

When I raised my voice, a small voice overlaid the noise of the cloth brushing my skin.

Hehe awake are you awake?

KeukUpdated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

A person. There is a person.

I furrowed my brow and opened my troubled eyes.

Gradually, a silhouette of a person came into view through the slightly opened eyes. It was difficult to distinguish objects around me because of my poor vision. but I could easily ascertain that the thin figure that was in front of me was a person.

G-Good morning. No, its lunchtime

The faint, trembling voice whispered into my ear.

I felt my eyes gradually getting used to the darkness and focused my eyes on the direction the voice was coming from.

What was reflected there was

A woman?

It was the first time I had ever seen her. She had a bony figure that would be appropriately described as skinny rather than slim, with her hair unkempt and loosely tied up on top of her head.

As I raised my sight to look at her face, her exposed one eye and the corner of her mouth through the hair that covered most of her face, were trembling and curled up.

She could be seen as thin, but upon closer inspection, her sunken cheeks and dark circles gave off a creepy feeling.

When I checked the figure reflected in front of my eyes, I immediately understood why my body had been so heavy.

That unidentified woman was sitting on my stomach, looking down at me.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Surprised and Startled, I hurriedly jumped up and tried to push that woman away.

However.

Rattle! Rattle!

Huh?

Rattle! Rattle! Rattle!

My body didnt move. Or, to be more accurate, my movements were restricted by something.

I turned my gaze and looked at my arm.

What the fuck!

Both of my wrists were handcuffed, giving off a cold sensation. As I saw the handcuffs that restrained my body, my face became crestfallen. The woman, who had been laughing and watching me up to that point, opened her mouth and began to speak.

I didnt know what the hell she was talking about.

My My writing is the most fun!!! You said So uh So I worked hard on it!!!

Pudeudeuk.

The sensation of my skin tearing-

Aaaaaaa!!

-I felt a wet sensation on my cheek.

F*cking hell

blood!

That crazy bi*ch was trying to rip my face apart.

I hurriedly shook my head, trying to complain about pain from the feeling that my cheek would be ripped off.

When did I say that? Where did I say it? No, did I really say it?

My head was spinning. The excruciating pain that spread throughout my body completely awakened my senses.

Eun-ahs voice grew louder as she started to scream.

Why dont you know!!!!!

Think. Think. Think. Let me think about it, bi*ch!!

I screamed inwardly and accelerated my thought process.

Happiness, waiting, my writing, fun.

Oh, shit. no way?

I did say those words. I had said them relatively recently.

Ah Go Goni?

The novel, which I held onto until last month and made it popular.

The novel.. named [The Bug-Catcher Girl].

The screaming stopped. The hand that had been griping me with such force as if it were about to rip off my face had lost its strength.

Did I guess right?

I quietly opened my eyes and looked at Eun-ah.

Her face started to glow again. A blush bloomed on her cheeks, and the corners of her mouth curled up. Her eyes widened and a smile spread across her face.

Hehe What what is it You knew it all along Youre really mean

Eun-ah, who was smiling and laughing happily, looked at me.

Still playing like this makes Eun-ah really sad

Ah no

After saying that, Eun-ah made eye contact with me.

For a moment, a dangerous light flickered in her eyes.

Soon after, Eun-ah, who had looked at me with a bright red face and said that with a satisfied smile, suddenly change her expression to a frown, and soon began to cry as if she would crumble at any moment.

Uh what is this on your face

Seeing the scars on my face, Eun-ah put on a look as if she was going to cry at any moment and pushed her face into my cheek.

Then, completely pressed against each other with our body heat touching, Eun-ah stuck her tongue out and began to lick my cheek.

Lick. Lick. Lick.

Uh Eun-ah will make you feel better

Creepy.

What what the f*ck!

I had goosebumps all over my body. It was an emotional line in a realm that I had never experienced in my life and was impossible to understand.

Eun-ah, who was licking my cheek and spitting on the wound she had made, lifted her head slightly.

Soon, she raised her head and stopped where our eyes were. The eyes of us two met with a gap where one finger could fit.

The corners of Eun-ahs eyes rolled back.

Hehe

My whole body shuddered. Fear pushed its way in again, in a slightly different form. If the previous fear was a fear caused by an unfamiliar situation, the current fear was a fear completely different nature from the previous one; Fear of the incomprehensible. And that fear began to eat away my mind.

I saw Eun-ah staring into my eyes right in front of me while crushing me.

The scent of soap wafting from her delicate skin and the scent of shampoo that dripped every time she shook her head penetrated my nostrils.

The cool body temperature of the skin in contact, the soft touch, and the sound of shallow breathing hitting the skin, everything was telling me that the other person was certainly a human being.

However, those senses, on the contrary, expanded my fear endlessly.

Actions that couldnt be considered a humans, and the five senses that still claimed to be human This discrepancy. It made me feel that the woman in front of me was something else wearing a human mask.

What was this situation? How did I get into this situation? Where is this place? Nothing could be known.

The only thing I knew in this situation was that

I was fucked.

The situation I was in right now was a terrible situation that I had never thought I would experience in my life.
