Schedule: Monday and Friday

Chapter 66

“Who do you think you are to get angry at me?”

Rose was speechless.

“Of course, I spoke a little harshly. But still, you shouldn’t treat me so badly.”

If it had been any other time, she would have confidently shot back, but not now.

There were only Tommy and Rose in the room. There was no one to protect her.

‘What if Tommy does something violent…’

There was a story about a young lady, barely a woman, and she had been out on the streets without an escort. She had been caught by a gang of poor ruffians who had nothing to lose, and they had treated her badly. Or their husbands, who had seemed like he would sell his own liver and intestines, had turned violent after their marriage.

“Oh, don’t come.”

She spoke calmly, trying not to let on that she was afraid. But her voice trembled uncontrollably.

“I told you not to come!”

“….”

The blue eyes that looked down at her calmly were unbearably arrogant. He seemed to know that he had the upper hand at this moment.

Fortunately, Tommy did not behave violently, as Rose had feared. He just glared at her from where he stood.

But the relief was short-lived.

“Hey!”

With a sudden shout like a thunderbolt, Tommy reached out.

‘What, what?’

His expression seemed more urgent than angry, but to Rose, who was wary of him, it just felt like a threat.

The moment she stepped back to avoid Tommy’s hand, Rose’s body tilted sharply.

‘Ah, that’s right. There was a bed behind me.’

Thud.

The soft sheets cushioned her back. Thanks to that, she wasn’t hurt.

‘I have to get up quickly. Otherwise, I don’t know what he’ll do to me.’

Rose was about to get up when she froze. As she fell onto the bed, her eyes naturally turned to the ceiling, and she saw the ghost of a woman with a contorted face and long hair hanging down.

At first glance, she looked like an ordinary person. But her body, dressed in white pajamas, was semi-transparent, as if it were made of smoke. And besides….

‘She’s hanging from the ceiling!’

She was unmistakably a ghost, floating in the air.

“No. No. No. No. No!”

The woman with reddish-brown hair hanging down glared at her and screamed terribly.

The woman descended from the ceiling silently, like a spider. Rose couldn’t even scream, she was trembling so much from the cold she felt all over her body.

“Get out of the way! I said get out of the way!”

With a hissing sound, the woman grabbed Rose’s hair and began to pull it violently.

“Get up! Get up now!”

The pain, as if her scalp were being torn off, made Rose try to get up as she was told. But her body wouldn’t move, as if it were glued to the bed sheet.

“I’ll get up. I’ll get up, so let go.”

Rose pleaded, but it was no use. The woman only pulled her hair harder.

‘No. Someone please help me.’

Just when she didn’t know what to do and was just shedding tears,

Thud!

“Get out of here, you crazy woman!”

Tommy picked up a chair from the corner of the room and swung it at the ghost. The woman, hit by the swing that was strong enough to break the chair leg, fell under the bed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tommy rushed over to Rose.

“Hey, Rose! Are you okay?”

His face, which was tightly wrinkled, looked very anxious.

“To, Tommy….”

“What are you doing? Get up quickly!”

“I, I can’t get up.”

“What?”

“My body feels like it’s stuck to the bed. What do I do?”

Tommy put his arm around the back of Rose’s neck to lift her up. His movements were rough, perhaps because of the urgency of the situation, but he still felt careful.

The woman, who had gotten up behind Tommy, approached. Her arm and neck were grotesquely twisted from being hit by the chair.

Rose couldn’t bear to look at her any longer and fainted.

“Rose!”

In her fading consciousness, Rose heard Tommy’s voice faintly echoing and thought,

‘I have to tell Tommy it’s dangerous….’

***

“Get out of there right now!”

The woman with her neck twisted grabbed Tommy’s shoulder.

“Ack!”

Tommy screamed as if he were being crushed by a steel bar. He tried to shake her off by swinging his arm, but the hand that was holding his shoulder wouldn’t budge.

‘What kind of strength is this?’

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He thought his shoulder might break if this went on.

But Tommy gritted his teeth and stayed put, with Rose in his arms. If he ran away, the ghost’s target would be Rose.

‘Damn it. How long is she going to keep bothering people?’

To faint in this situation.

She was a troublesome woman in many ways.

‘What should I do now? I can’t keep holding on like this forever.’

Just when Tommy was forcing himself to stay conscious despite the pain.

Whoosh!

Flames erupted around the bed where the two were standing. The flames burned fiercely as if they were going to engulf the room, but strangely, they weren’t hot at all.

“Ahhh!”

The woman, who seemed like she would never let go, ran away in a panic.

“No! No! No!”

The woman kept shouting ‘No!’ like a broken radio.

Clang!

At the same time as the sound of something opening under the bed, the world went black. Tommy didn’t even have time to think about what was happening before he wrapped his arms around Rose’s body.

A large hole had opened up where the bed mattress should have been. As Tommy fell through it, a message appeared before his eyes.
