Looking at it positively, it was an occult game, but in the end, the opponent was still a doll with a physical form. If the doll jumped out at me, I was confident I could fight it.
Rattle!
“Agh…!”
But the fact that all the poltergeist activity happening before I found the seeker was caused by a ghost was unbearably terrifying. It operated similarly to the Mugunghwa Flower game from the Death Game, but in the end, it was a matter of perception. This was the limit of a fear I couldn’t rationally accept.
“Baek Hanrim. Stop screwing around. I told you we should just watch something else.”
I suggested that we all watch a horror movie so they wouldn’t find it strange that I was trembling in fear. I sat in the middle with Kim Jihwan and Cha Gwonhyeok on either side of me. I had been the one to suggest sitting like this because I was scared.
“I can’t watch this alone, so watch it with me- Hahaha….”
Holding a cup of salt water I had secretly made after stealing salt from the kitchen, I forced a smile while trying to hide my trembling. I hoped I looked like Baek Hanrim cheerfully taking on the challenge of a horror movie, but….
Kyahahahahaha!
Thud.
Rattle, creeeak-.
“Mmph, mm, ngh… hic….”
I felt like I was going insane because I couldn’t stop the sounds from leaking out of my mouth. Which sounds were coming from the movie, and which ones were being made by the seeker?
“It’s just fucking unpleasant. Why is something like this number one?”
Kim Jihwan reviewed the horror movie that was currently ranked number one on the streaming site. It was a Japanese horror movie about uncovering an unsolvable curse placed on an entire clan. More than half the movie had already passed, yet there was no sign whatsoever that they would break the curse. It would probably end with the curse continuing in an unsettling way-.
“Is there something else you want to watch?”
Cha Gwonhyeok asked the grumbling Kim Jihwan.
“I don’t know. Just put on something like a family movie.”
“That’s your taste?”
“They’re inoffensive.”
Kim Jihwan and Cha Gwonhyeok began making small talk. It was only a simple conversation where they asked and answered questions about their preferences, but for some reason, it was pleasant to listen to.
“That’s cute.”
Cha Gwonhyeok gave a faint laugh and called Kim Jihwan’s taste cute. It was only a simple remark, but I immediately felt the genre switch into a BL novel. As expected of the main top.
I wanted to remain as quiet as possible and avoid disturbing the two of them, but….
“Agh! That hurts! Hey!”
“Sorrry….”
Every time a ghost appeared, I hid behind Kim Jihwan’s shoulder and ended up pinching him with my nails. I wasn’t doing it on purpose. It happened unconsciously while I was trying to hide. Whenever a ghost appeared, neither the game nor the novel entered my mind, and my head went completely blank. Should I just skip this game? Would there be a penalty?
Ehehehe-.
“Hic-.”
“You’re going to stop breathing at this rate.”
Unable to watch any longer, Cha Gwonhyeok picked up the remote as though he intended to turn off the TV. I hurriedly raised my hand and stopped him.
“I have to endure this to become a real man.”
I could feel the utterly dumbfounded Cha Gwonhyeok asking with his eyes whether that meant I was currently a fake man. Was it because he was Kim Jihwan’s match? He knew how to speak with his eyes too.
“But Gwonhyeok-ah, do you have any dolls in your house?”
If a ghost had possessed something, it seemed like the natural course of events would be for it to possess a doll that had already been in Cha Gwonhyeok’s house.
“…So you can hold it?”
I couldn’t exactly say, No, so I can catch it and exorcise it. So I vaguely nodded.
“No. Want a cushion instead?”
If there weren’t even any dolls in the house, then what had it possessed? Had I been thinking of the category of dolls too narrowly? Did I need to expand it to things like mannequins or artificial objects shaped like humans?
“Want me to hold you?”
“?”
“?”
At Cha Gwonhyeok’s remark, even Kim Jihwan, who had been sitting still, whipped his head around so sharply that he made a sound just like I did, question marks blooming across his face. Could it have possessed a human instead of a doll?
Gwonhyeok, are you possessed by a ghost? Can I splash salt water on your face?
Thump….
Creeeak!
At that moment, a ghost appeared in the movie.
