Some viewers didn’t believe what I said.
They thought that claiming to have seen a teddy bear doll was just a lie to make the content more entertaining.
They didn’t openly type suspicious messages, but…
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─ㅇㅇ You really believe you saw a teddy bear ghost? ㅋㅋㅋ
【Handsome Licker】─ㅋㅋ No doubts here. Se-hoon’s always right. *lick*
【Reverse Rape Mania】─ㄹㅇㅋㅋ Just type “lol” already.
【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow! A teddy bear possessed by a ghost?! That’s freaking scary!
And so on.
They were posting sarcastic messages.
Damn bastards.
It was a bit frustrating because I really saw it, but they didn’t believe me.
So, I decided to prove it.
I was determined to find that one-eyed teddy bear doll.
***
Surprisingly, I found it easily.
Under an old bed.
The teddy bear doll was hiding, curled up in a ball.
It was definitely the same doll I saw at the top of the stairs.
“Damn, found it.”
I reached under the bed, grabbed the teddy bear, and pulled it out.
Then I confidently showed it to the camera.
“Guys, do you believe me now? I told you there’s a teddy bear doll.”
【Reverse Rape Mania】─ㄷㄷ It was real.
【Qkrnfl892】─ㄷㄷㄷ
Honestly, I wasn’t entirely sure I believed myself either.
Like the viewers said, maybe I really just imagined it?
I was starting to have doubts.
But not anymore.
I saw the teddy bear with my own eyes.
“You guys doubted me so much that I started to think I was gaslighted into believing I saw it wrong, damn it.”
【Yoho】─I didn’t doubt you.
【Min Ji】─Me neither… ㅎㅎ
“Bullshit… Anyway, ghosts are real. I confirmed it myself, so there’s no room for doubt now. And Maehwa, this is that possession yokai thing you mentioned, right?”
【Maehwa Tree】─Maybe? Not sure.
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─ㅋㅋㅋ Gyesekkihoon, you really prepared this content thoroughly. You hid the doll yesterday, didn’t you, you bastard?
“Hide it? I didn’t even come here yesterday, you crazy bitch.”
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─ㅋㅋ I’ll believe you~
【Handsome Licker】─ㄹㅇㅋㅋ I believe you.
“Are these bastards still not believing even after seeing it?”
【Qkrnfl892】─They’re not doubting the existence of the teddy bear, but the part where it moved on its own, right?
【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow! Try telling the teddy bear to move right now!
The idiots still didn’t let go of their doubts.
I thought about banning them but managed to hold back.
“Sigh… I should’ve captured that moment on camera.”
【Yoho】─What moment?
“This teddy bear originally had its eyes closed, but when I kept staring at it, it slowly opened its eyes.”
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─LOLㅋㅋㅋ
【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow! The doll even blinked!!!
【Min Ji】─That seems a bit far-fetched…
【Handsome Licker】─Are you really treating us like idiots? ㅋㅋㅋ
【Jujijoa】─Wasn’t it?
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Gyesekkihoon, tell it to close its eyes again. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“Like it’ll listen if I tell it to?”
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─ㅋㅋㅋ Gyesekkihoon, you’re panicking because you’re about to get caught lying, huh? If it’s not a lie, tell it to do it~
“…Hey, teddy bear. Close your eyes again.”
［······.］
No response.
The teddy bear was still playing dead.
“Stop pretending to be dead. Say something, damn it. I know you can talk.”
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─??? What’s this? This doesn’t seem like acting. Gyesekkihoon, are you hurt? Did you have a mental breakdown?
【Yoho】─Room Master…
【Qkrnfl892】─Isn’t this a ghost possessing Gyesekkihoon instead of the teddy bear?
【Handsome Licker】─ㄹㅇㅋㅋ Suddenly gone crazy. “It can talk!” ㅇㅈㄹ
【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow! Your acting skills just leveled up!
【Reverse Rape Mania】─You could be an actor. You were awkward at first, but now I see talent.
“…Maehwa, you’d know if you saw it. This bastard is a yokai, right?”
I shoved the teddy bear closer to the camera and asked.
【Maehwa Tree】─Can’t tell just from the screen.
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Wow! Even the self-proclaimed exorcist is giving up on this nonsense!
【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow. Stop copying my style.
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Shut up.
【Maehwa Tree】─But it could really be a doll possessed by a yokai, so just tear it apart and kill it to be safe.
“Tear it apart and kill it?”
［Gasp!］
“…Huh?”
This time, I definitely heard it.
The sound clearly came from the teddy bear.
“Guys, did you hear that? This bastard can talk, damn it. Why don’t you believe me?”
【Min Ji】─??
【Yoho】─Gasp.
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─??? I really heard it. What’s going on?
【Handsome Licker】─Isn’t it ventriloquism?
【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow! Se-hoon’s ventriloquism is on point!
“Still so many damn bitches who don’t believe me. Just don’t believe me then.”
【Maehwa Tree】─Sounds like a yokai’s voice. Se-hoon, kill it.
“Why does this bitch keep telling me to kill it?”
After seeing Maehwa’s “kill it” message, I stared at the teddy bear.
Maybe it was just my imagination, but the doll seemed to be trembling.
“……”
I was a bit conflicted.
Was killing it the right thing to do?
It didn’t seem like a yokai that harmed people, so was it necessary to take its life?
“…Forget it. I’ll hold off on killing it for now.”
【Maehwa Tree】─??
“This teddy bear is the harmless yokai you mentioned, right? No need to kill it, is there?”
【Maehwa Tree】─Hmm. Do as you please. I usually kill harmless yokai first, so that’s why I said to kill it.
Unless it was a dangerous yokai, killing such a fragile teddy bear didn’t sit right with me.
I’m human too, and I do feel compassion sometimes.
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Wait, damn! Is that really a ghost? No, a yokai? That’s freaking amazing! I’ve never seen anything like that!
【Handsome Licker】─Guburi’s so naive. *lick*
【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow. Isn’t it more like stupidity than naivety?
【Qkrnfl892】─ㅋㅋㅋ Ghosts are real, so why can’t you guys believe it, you bastards?
【Min Ji】─Some people just don’t believe unless they see it themselves.
【Se-hoon Defense Team】─Like those idiots who think the Earth is flat because they’ve never seen it from space?
【Big Girl】─That’s a bit of an extreme analogy…
【Maehwa Tree】─No matter how much you tell them the truth, they stubbornly deny it with their weird beliefs. It’s the same.
【Jujijoa】─Are there really idiots who believe the Earth is flat?
【Drifting AI】─I’ll say it. The Earth is round.
【Yoho】─We know.
【Reverse Rape Mania】─The Earth is round? Stupid AI. ㅋㅋㅋ
【Yoho】─?
“Guburi, you finally believe me, huh?”
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─ㅇㅇ I heard it clearly! It’s freaking amazing. Gyesekkihoon, can’t you just smack that doll hard? Let’s see if it feels pain!
“Shut up, you crazy bitch… By the way, does anyone know which room has the box with needles and thread? I vaguely remember seeing it while wandering around.”
【Yoho】─Why do you need needles and thread?
“I have something to do.”
［······.］
“Nobody knows? You guys have the memory of goldfish.”
【Handsome Licker】─You don’t remember either. So you’re a goldfish too?
『‘Handsome Licker’ has been restricted from chatting. Remaining time: 00:01:00』
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─ㄷㄷ What’s Gyesekkihoon’s criteria for chat restrictions? Still can’t figure it out.
“I’ll go out and look for it.”
I held the teddy bear and got up from my seat.
Then I left the room.
***
I searched through the rooms I had passed, trying to remember.
‘I definitely saw a storage box with needles and thread earlier… Was it this room?’
The reason I needed the needles and thread was simple.
To fix the teddy bear’s eye.
The reason I wanted to fix it wasn’t complicated either.
It just looked pitiful with only one eye.
That’s all.
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─By the way, Gyesekkihoon, you’ve been wandering around so energetically. Did you get some kind of boost?
【Handsome Licker】─ㄹㅇㅋㅋ Is this really abandoned house exploration? Anyone watching would think you’re here to catch ghosts.
【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow. This is different from the abandoned house explorations I know.
【Reverse Rape Mania】─You don’t hesitate when opening doors either ㅋㅋ Earlier, you kicked one open.
【Qkrnfl892】─Even the ghosts here probably ran away.
【Min Ji】─Usually, broadcasters doing this kind of content explore cautiously while being scared…
【Jujijoa】─Se-hoon doesn’t do that.
【Se-hoon Defense Team】─This isn’t abandoned house exploration; it’s more like a search mission.
【Big Girl】─Abandoned house seizure. ㄷㄷ
“Ah. Found it. It was over there.”
Finally, I found it.
On what seemed to be a dressing table.
An open storage box came into view.
It was the box with the needles and thread.
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─But why do you need that? Can’t you tell us the reason now? You keep ignoring us.
“Huh? Didn’t I tell you earlier?”
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─You restricted me from asking, you bastard!
“Ah.”
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Ah, damn it! I’m gonna die!
I took out the needles and thread from the box.
They were still in usable condition.
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Stop ignoring me and tell us the reason!
“Huh?”
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Damn bastard…
“Oh, right. You asked for the reason, didn’t you? I just want to fix the teddy bear’s eye.”
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─ㅎㅎ I see. Sex.
【Yoho】─Why fix the teddy bear’s eye?
【Maehwa Tree】─Really necessary?
【Se-hoon Defense Team】─Why bother fixing it? ㅋㅋㅋ
“Just because. I suddenly remembered a teddy bear I used to play with as a kid.”
It wasn’t a made-up story.
An orphanage. No, nowadays they call it a childcare center?
Anyway.
There was a teddy bear doll I often played with at the childcare center, but a teacher threw it away on a whim.
Because it was old and had one eye missing.
It wasn’t a particularly sad past, but…
The guilt and regret of not being able to protect a friend.
Various emotional remnants from my childhood remained in a corner of my heart to this day.
Childhood shocks and traumas tend to linger longer than you’d think.
Anyway, that’s why I decided to fix this teddy bear’s eye.
【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow. Drowning in nostalgia.
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─I drown in something else.
【Yoho】─Ugh.
【Handsome Licker】─But do you know how to sew?
“Of course I do. Who doesn’t know how to sew?”
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─That’s true.
【Reverse Rape Mania】─ㅠㅠ
“Anyway, I won’t be checking the chat for a while. I need to perform surgery.”
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Surgery, my ass ㅋㅋ
I gently placed the teddy bear on the floor for the surgery.
［······.］
Then I removed a button from my pants.
This would become the teddy bear’s new eye today.
***
The surgery was successfully completed.
I neatly sewed the button onto the right side of its face, where it had been empty.
Again, maybe it was just my imagination, but the teddy bear seemed to be making a satisfied expression.
“Are you grateful? If you are, say something.”
［······.］
Still no response.
The teddy bear remained silent.
Ungrateful bastard.
【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Damn teddy bear, not even a word of thanks. Is it that hard to say thank you? You ungrateful bastard!
【Qkrnfl892】─Don’t overdo it.
【Handsome Licker】─Guburi, have you completely shifted to believing in ghosts now? ㅋㅋㅋ
“Guburi, forget it. I didn’t fix its eye just to hear a thank you.”
【Reverse Rape Mania】─Hmm… To adapt to this room, I think I need to become a lunatic too.
【Yoho】─You’re already there.
I placed the teddy bear on the table.
I did everything I could.
Now that my business was done, I left the room without hesitation.
***
I had almost finished exploring the third floor.
Aside from the teddy bear, I hadn’t encountered any yokai.
It seemed like this mansion was inhabited by the teddy bear alone.
“This was less fun than I thought. I won’t do this kind of content again.”
Only one room remained.
At the end of a long, wide hallway.
The moment I stood in front of a bright red door.
“……”
A sudden chill ran through my body.
“Somehow, it feels colder standing in front of this room.”
On top of that, a foul smell hit my nose.
“Damn, what’s that smell? Maehwa, is this the weird smell you mentioned earlier…?”
I covered my nose and checked the chat.
The chat was silent.
Not a single person was typing.
“…Why is no one chatting? It’s not like you all went AFK.”
Just as I said that, I felt a soft, squishy sensation on my left leg.
After blinking a few times, I slowly looked down.
There, hugging my leg, was a doll.
The teddy bear doll I had left in the room.
“Why is this bastard here?”
［…Don’t.］
“Huh? Look at this! This damn teddy bear can talk after all. Why were you pretending to be mute earlier? You wanna die?”
［…Don’t.］
The teddy bear looked up at me, its mouth trembling.
It looked terrified.
The source of its fear wasn’t me, but the red door in front of us.
Clutching my leg, the teddy bear hesitated for a while before finally making up its mind and completing its sentence in a trembling voice.
［D-don’t go in!］
At the same time,
Creak.
The firmly closed red door began to slowly open, as if it had a will of its own.
***
Thud!
The door closed again.
It said not to go in, so I didn’t.
I wasn’t planning to go in anyway because it felt off.
For now, I decided to listen to the teddy bear’s story.
After moving to a different spot.
