When the sky turned dusk, it was time for all the students and teachers to leave.
Oh no, not everyone has left, there is still one more student hiding in the music classroom.
It was none other than E-ki, the reason he stayed late after school, was because he overslept.
There couldn't be a more absurd reason.
E-ki recalls that he was with his friends discussing the movie they were going to make, but in the middle of it he fell asleep without realizing it. Check your phone to see what time it is. Strangely, when I open the flip phone, it doesn't work.
"Could it be that the battery is running out? That's strange, I clearly saw there was a lot of battery left this morning" - E-ki
The sky outside is orange but it feels like it's a bit red.
Stepping out of the classroom, he felt a bit strange. Even though the school scene was still the same, it gave E-ki a strange feeling.
It was indeed strange, even though it was only late afternoon, the school was eerily quiet, with no sounds of birds or traffic, let alone human sounds.
He ran to the school gate but the door wouldn't budge even though he used all his strength to open it. From the school window, someone was looking at E-ki, with a sinister smile on his mouth.
The male student had no other choice but to return to school. As soon as he entered the school, the space was so quiet that it was chilling. E-ki tried turning on the school hallway lights but the lights wouldn't turn on. Does the school have a new rule to turn off all the electricity in the school? Having no choice, E-ki ran to the school security guard to see if there was anything lit.
While searching inside, suddenly there was a loud bang on the glass, startling E-ki. When he checked, he saw no one outside. It feels strange, is it possible that someone also stayed at school to prank him?
If so, who is it?
An object rolled out from the drawer, it was the flashlight that E-ki was looking for, he brought along for lighting. Normally the school is very bustling with the laughter of students, but now it is quiet, making E-ki feel unfamiliar.
The sound of his footsteps walking steadily, holding a flashlight in his hand to shine around, the dark hallway made it hard to believe that this was the hallway he often walked every day.
*Drip, drip, drip*
The sound of running water, the sound of water flowing from behind E-ki, his body froze and did not move.
On the window mirror, the image behind E-ki was reflected, a female student, but her body was wet with moisture, her skin was pale and lifeless. His mouth was open wide and water was flowing from it, walking very slowly towards E-ki.
His survival instinct was screaming "run", but he couldn't move an inch.
The sound of wet footsteps was getting closer and closer, the breath of that thing became more and more clearly heard, E-ki's body trembled, he closed his eyes and prayed that thing would leave.
*Blink Blink*
Suddenly the phone bell rang throughout the hallway, it overwhelmed E-ki's fear, and attracted the attention of the female ghost. It slowly turned around and left without paying attention to E-ki.
The ghost girl's silhouette disappeared into the empty hallway.
Finally, E-ki regained his composure. Just as he was about to breathe, a hand covered his mouth from behind, startling the male student.
"Shh, be quiet!"
That voice belonged to the new female teacher, E-ka. She was also here, and he was also relieved that it wasn't the female ghost coming back to capture him.
The female teacher looked behind her, signaled the male student to be quiet and pulled him to follow her. Her hand held E-ki's hand so tightly that she feared he might disappear at any moment.
Finally, they stopped at a storage room. E-ka opened the door and pushed the door inside. The place was kept very neat and clean, the room was divided into three different spaces. One place is the kitchen and many other utensils, and one place is the bed to rest, and the space to sit is very large.
The lights were not turned on, but instead there were lit candles, there were also chairs and tables, outsiders looking in would have a hard time believing that this place used to be a warehouse.
Once inside, E-ka breathed a sigh of relief, she let go of E-ki's hand and walked towards the kitchen.
"Sit down"- E-ka
Listening to the teacher's words, E-ki walked to the sofa and sat down. He looked around the office. There were quite a few books and pictures here. The atmosphere in this room was strange. Star. It was like someone was staring at him.
"Tea, milk or coffee?"- E-ka
"Tea please"- E-ki
*Rattle, rattle*
A chilling sound rang out, making E-ki tremble a bit. He saw a mirror on the table and a dark shadow appearing behind it.
"!!!"- E-ki
Feeling cold like the ghost girl just now, E-ki for some reason wanted to turn around to look. He slowly turned his head around.
*Clack*
A noise caught his attention. E-ka placed a cup of tea in front of him and sat in the opposite chair to enjoy her cup of tea in her hand.
"If I were you, I wouldn't turn back. There are some things that haunt people by appearing behind them to make them turn around. So if you see a ghost like that, don't turn around"- Eka
"I-I understand"- E-ki
Holding the cup of tea, he took a sip and was surprised.
"It's really delicious. This is the first time I've drank such delicious tea" - E-ki
"Fig tea, a fruit that can cure many diseases and cleanse the soul when haunted" - E-ka
Hearing that, E-ki was a little startled but then calmed down.
"So, why are you here at this hour? Haven't all the students gone home?"- E-ka
E-ki told the female teacher about how he and his friends in the club were discussing the movie they were going to make, but for some reason he fell asleep in the middle of the discussion. When he woke up, everyone had gone home.
Putting down the teacup, E-ka seemed to understand what was going on.
"Please stay in this room, I will go deal with it" - E-ka
"I will go with you!"- E-ki
"This has nothing to do with a student like you. Don't do things that don't concern you, kid"- E-ka
Just as she was about to leave, a pulling force stopped her from continuing. When she looked down, she saw E-ki pulling her hand, looking at her with pleading eyes.
"Let me follow, please" - E-ki
"No, I can't protect you" - E-ka
"Please, I won't do anything. I will listen to what you say so please let me follow!!!" - E-ki
E-ka immediately covered E-ki's mouth, then came closer and whispered in his ear.
"If you raise your voice like that, I'm not sure it'll be safe. If you want to follow, keep your mouth shut, okay?"- E-ka
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Why aren't you reacting?" - E-ka
She looked and saw that E-ki was blushing. He immediately backed away quickly and hid his face. This expression made her feel confused.
