Chapter 35

“You guys wait here. If a woman talks to you, you might get scared.”

Ppong Burajaji, a male, spoke to the women in a commanding tone.

Then he approached me and greeted me.

“Uh… Hi, hello?”

“Ah, yes. Hello.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Sex sex~

After exchanging greetings, Ppong Burajaji closed the distance even more.

If he touches me, I’ll kill him.

“Didn’t we see each other before? At the mountain peak?”

“…I think so.”

The man had an annoyingly good memory.

I didn’t remember at all until I saw Ppong Burajaji.

“It’s really amazing. I didn’t expect to meet you again in a place like this…”

The man continued the conversation with a friendly expression, pretending to be happy.

“Was something wrong last time? You suddenly ran down in a hurry.”

“I had to poop.”

“Ah, I see… I actually wanted to say hi back then. Even though I only saw you briefly, your face was glowing, hehe. You know how handsome guys just want to get close to each other, right?”

“Ah, yes.”

I nodded, even though I didn’t know.

But damn, this guy talks a lot.

Anyone would think we were long-lost friends.

“So, what brings you here?”

“Just exploring abandoned houses.”

“Ah, really? Same as us! Are you a streamer?”

The man glanced at my camera and asked, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Honestly, it was a bit gross.

He was blinking more than ten times a second, trying to act cute.

“Gouge out your eyes… I mean, yes. I stream as a hobby.”

“Really? Are you live right now? How many viewers do you have?”

Ppong Burajaji started bombarding me with questions.

I wish he would just shut up and leave.

But I didn’t show my true feelings.

There’s no point in causing trouble.

I reluctantly answered all his questions.

***

We finished introducing ourselves.

Ppong Burajaji’s name is Ji Mun-hyuk.

Like me, he’s a streamer.

He has 50,000 YouTube subscribers.

His main content is exploring abandoned houses, and he doesn’t do live streams.

And the women standing blankly behind him were, as expected, all his girlfriends.

They were huddled together, whispering among themselves.

‘I didn’t notice it on the mountain, but now they all give off a strong gangster vibe.’

The women all looked similar.

Like clones.

Their clothes were covered in luxury brands.

Their hair was dyed bright yellow, and their skin was tanned dark.

Their faces were full of piercings.

Not just their ears, but their lips, eyebrows, and even their nostrils were adorned.

They were the epitome of the famous ‘Golden Sun’ stereotype.

‘…Even if they look like that, they might still be good people. Let’s not judge.’

That thought became meaningless as the Golden Sun women’s vulgar conversations started to reach my ears.

“He looks so damn delicious, right?”

“Keep it down. What if Mun-hyuk hears?”

“He won’t hear.”

“Ugh. The more I look, the more I want him. Mun-hyuk doesn’t even treat us well. Why don’t we just switch to him?”

“Keep it down. Anyway, act like you’re not interested. I’ll get his number later without Mun-hyuk knowing.”

“He doesn’t even look like he’d give us the time of day. Would he even look at us?”

“You never know. He might be into it.”

“But the vibe is so serious… It feels like if we approach him recklessly, we’ll be punished.”

“There’s definitely a gap.”

“That could actually be an advantage. Most women wouldn’t dare approach because of the gap. If we confidently go for it, he might actually like it.”

“That makes sense…!”

“…Does it?”

They were sweet in front of their boyfriend, but behind his back, they didn’t hesitate to talk dirty.

By the way, Ji Mun-hyuk didn’t seem to hear.

It’s like he had a dick in his ear.

‘Well… When he introduced his girlfriends, he whispered to me that they were stupid sugar babies. So I don’t feel sorry for him. Birds of a feather flock together.’

I heard their dirty talk, but I didn’t want to get involved, so I pretended not to hear.

I can’t break up a couple that’s so well-matched.

I hope they don’t release each other into society and just stay together forever.

Anyway, I decided to finish what I came here to do.

I didn’t want to hang out with them anymore.

“Then I’ll go up. You said to be careful on the 2nd floor, right?”

“Yes. If the devices we set up activate, it could be a big problem.”

Ji Mun-hyuk scratched his head as he answered.

He said he set up various devices on the 2nd floor for his streaming content.

For example.

A recorder with creepy voices.

A doll that pops out when a trigger is activated.

‘…Let’s not even wander around the 2nd floor. If I accidentally trigger a device, it could be a mess.’

So I decided to go straight to the 3rd floor, bypassing the 2nd floor.

He said he worked hard to prepare the content since morning, so I can’t ruin his efforts.

I shouldn’t cause any trouble for the stream.

‘But from what I hear, there aren’t any ghosts here, right?’

Ji Mun-hyuk said he checked both the 2nd and 3rd floors.

Not just today, but last night too.

Since nothing happened, it seems there are no harmful ghosts here.

‘At this point, I’m starting to doubt if ghosts even exist.’

He said he’s explored over ten abandoned houses so far?

Even after visiting so many, he’s never encountered a ghost.

He doesn’t seem to believe in ghosts either.

Is he just lucky?

Or are ghosts just a fictional concept?

I have no way of knowing right now.

***

While heading to the 3rd floor.

A doll sitting alone at the top of the stairs came into view.

It was a teddy bear doll with one eye missing.

“What’s that? It looks so damn cute.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Huh? What? Me?

【Yoho】─You must have thought of my face. Hehe.

【Qkrnfl892】─I am kinda cute.

【Handsome Licker】─You idiots. Lick.

Is that also a device Ji Mun-hyuk set up?

He clearly said he only set up devices on the 2nd floor…

Since he explicitly said he didn’t set anything up on the 3rd floor, I wouldn’t feel bad if something activated.

Just as I was about to get closer to check the doll.

“Hey, excuse me!”

A frantic voice came from behind.

I turned around to see a woman panting as she ran up the stairs.

One of the Golden Sun women.

“*pant* *pant*… You’re really fast…”

“Do you have something to say to me?”

“Ah, well.”

She stopped in front of me.

Then, with a confident expression, she boldly held out her phone.

“If it’s not too much trouble, can I get your number?”

“…Why?”

“Why? Because I like you.”

The Golden Sun woman smiled, showing her white teeth.

That expression made me uncomfortable.

‘…This idiot really came to get my number.’

I don’t know what this girl is thinking, especially since she has a boyfriend.

I spoke politely.

“Don’t you have a boyfriend?”

“Eh. What does it matter? He meets multiple girls too, so why can’t I?”

She wasn’t wrong.

But there was one thing she overlooked.

“Did you get your boyfriend’s permission?”

“…Huh?”

“Did you get permission before doing this?”

“No… Why would I need permission?”

This idiot doesn’t even realize what she’s doing wrong.

I clearly explained what she was overlooking.

“Aren’t you all in a consensual relationship?”

“Yes, so what?”

“······Are you fucking brainless? Can’t you think for yourself? So if you want to meet multiple guys, you need to get your current boyfriend’s agreement first. You stupid bitch.”

Without agreement, it’s just cheating.

Of course, if a woman says, “You can do it, so why can’t I?” the chances of getting dumped are high.

In this world, the male-to-female ratio is extremely low.

But if you’re unhappy with your boyfriend meeting multiple girls, you shouldn’t have agreed in the first place.

Break up and find another guy who wants a monogamous relationship.

She doesn’t even have the right to complain.

She chose this guy herself.

Moreover, the guy isn’t at fault either.

He’s not secretly meeting other girls behind his partner’s back; he’s openly asking for permission to date multiple people.

Anyway.

Cheating is deceiving your partner.

In other words, it’s betrayal.

I have an extreme hatred for people who betray others without a second thought.

They don’t deserve any respect.

“Stupid bitch, why aren’t you saying anything?”

“Why are you suddenly using informal speech…?”

“What the fuck? I don’t use honorifics with animals.”

“······Watch your mouth. It’s just you and me here.”

The woman’s face turned red.

She even clenched her fists.

She looked like she was about to hit me.

And judging by the chat, they heard our conversation too.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─What the fuck is this bitch? Who does she think she’s hitting on?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─What kind of stupid bitch is this? Does she think our Gyesekkihoon is easy?

【Min Ji】─It’s okay to ask for a number. But doing it behind your boyfriend’s back is morally wrong.

【Handsome Licker】─I need to educate her. Smacking her head with a morality book 100,000 times should do the trick.

【Yoho】─Is that the person we met on the 1st floor? Can you show her face on camera?

【Big Girl】─Is it okay to reveal her face?

【Se-hoon Defense Team】─This crazy bitch doesn’t know her place.

【Qkrnfl892】─She’s messing with the wrong person. Wait, bitch. I’m loading real bullets and boarding the Two-and-a-Half now.

【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow. Boarding the cargo.

【Maehwa Tree】─What did she say at the end? Did she threaten you by saying it’s just the two of you?

【Jujijoa】─On my way.

【Drifting AI】─Nuclear launch ready. Drop point set.

There were also voice messages through donations.

But I had muted them for a while, so no sound came out.

As I glanced at the chat, the Golden Sun woman finally realized I was live-streaming and turned pale.

She must have been so horny that she couldn’t see straight.

“Hey. Do you have anything else to say?”

“······.”

“If not, get lost. I’ll keep it a secret from your boyfriend.”

Does she have some pride or something?

The Golden Sun woman glared fiercely and didn’t back down.

If I weren’t live-streaming, she probably would have done something right then.

“Didn’t you hear me? Get lost.”

I didn’t want to be in the same space as this bitch anymore.

Even breathing was a chore.

So I punched the stone statue next to me.

*Crash!*

With one punch, the statue shattered into pieces.

This was a warning.

If you don’t want to end up like this, get lost now.

“Huh…?”

[Eek…!]

The Golden Sun woman, scared, took a few steps back, her eyes wide.

“What, what are you…? A man, no, a person’s strength can’t be…”

“Stop the useless talk…”

I pointed at the shattered remains of the statue.

“If you don’t want to end up like this, leave while I’m being nice.”

“······.”

She clenched her mouth shut.

Just a moment ago, she looked like she was about to curse and resort to violence.

‘…Wait. But I think I heard another voice besides hers just now. What was that?’

As I pondered this.

The Golden Sun woman spat on the ground and turned to go down the stairs.

That spit must have been her last bit of pride.

“Fucking bastard… If you had just given me your number nicely, I would have told you something important… It’s all your fault…”

The Golden Sun woman muttered something as her figure grew smaller.

I must have had a dick in my ear because I couldn’t hear her.

After the pest was completely gone.

I checked the chat again.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─??? What was that?

【Handsome Licker】─What? Hidden camera? How did you do that?

【Yoho】─Gasp… Room Master, your strength is something else…

【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow. What is this? Is Se-hoon also an experiment?

【Reverse Rape Mania】─Found it. The ideal type who can subdue and mercilessly dominate me…

【Maehwa Tree】─Is he even human?

“What are you all surprised about? I told you, I’m strong.”

【Drifting AI】─Let me explain. The statue had cracks, he said.

“Shut up.”

I muted Drifting.

It became docile, so it didn’t move.

Then I looked up to continue climbing the stairs.

But.

“…Huh? What? Where did it go?”

The teddy bear doll that was at the top of the stairs was gone.
