I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts

44 – Captured in the Tiger’s Den (2)

There were many shelters in the tiger’s den.

The closest shelter was about a three-minute walk away.

“Please open the door!!!”

But there was no shelter that would open the door. In some shelters, there were people begging to go to another place while crying. Some shelters even cursed at me and the woman like crazy when they saw us.

“Get lost. f*cking f*cking f*cking f*cking.”

“No, what kind of curse is that? Really heartless people, do we have to be eaten by a tiger…”

I’m not sure what the tiger is exactly.

It’s probably something like a supernatural phenomenon or a demon.

Anyway, it means that it’s something so strong that even heaven and earth can’t exterminate it. I don’t want to fight against something like that.

I need to find a shelter quickly or run away.

“Oh, well, maybe, it might be because of me,”

As we continued to be rejected and cursed at the shelter, the woman behind me suddenly turned into a hunchback and tried to get into a discarded box.

“No, what are you doing? We’re in a hurry.”

“The, the box is comfortable. I.”

Does she think she’s a cat or something? Does she think that the tiger won’t find her in a place like this? Frustrated, I took the woman’s hand and looked for a place to escape.

Then the woman looked at me with a surprised expression.

So I continued to act with audacity.

“There is nothing wrong with you. It is the world that is wrong.”

“I, did nothing wrong? Really?”

“Yes, so stand tall and smile confidently.”

“St, stand tall and smile?”

The woman awkwardly straightened her back and laughed nervously.

What should I say? It was so awkward.

But still, I couldn’t help but be drawn to her beauty.

Hmm, her cheeks are turning red.

But this might make me seem too hesitant.

Still, I had no choice but to say this one word.

“You, you really are beautiful.”

“Yes, beautiful. Me. Really?”

From Noble mtl dot com

“Yes, you are one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen.”

Hearing those words, the woman burst into a bashful smile.

“Ehe, ehehehe.”

While she was laughing, a single tear suddenly fell from her eyes.

“Ah, ugh.”

“No, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you feel bad with what I said.”

“No, no. It’s just because I’m clumsy. It’s not your fault. You, you, idiot! Stupid!”

Suddenly, she began hitting her own head.

Indeed, this woman was not in her right mind.

It felt different from Nayu’s madness.

At that moment, the phone started ringing again.

[Web message] [Safety Announcement]

[Seoul]

A tiger is still wandering around.

We ask all citizens to evacuate to safety shelters promptly.

Oh, I’m going crazy.

The shelter needs to open its doors for us to take shelter.

The tiger’s den is in the slum area.

In other words, it meant that the streets were almost like a maze due to the haphazardly developed neighborhoods. Even with a map on my phone, I would still get lost in this maze at least once.

I have to play hide-and-seek with a tiger in this maze?

I really can’t figure out where to run.

“This is driving me crazy. This is my first time going this deep into the tiger’s den.”

At that moment, the woman behind me murmured.

“Um, excuse me. Sir.”

“Yes?”

“Would you like to come to my house? It’s not a pressure. Since all the shelters are locked.”

“Do you have a house nearby?”

The woman nodded her head vigorously.

If there’s no other choice.

“Then I’ll depend on you a little.”

“Grrrng. Okay. Come this way.”

As soon as I finished speaking, the woman took my hand and led me deeper into the alleyway. This woman, she’s quite strong, isn’t she?

And where is she taking me?

That’s how I ended up going deep into the tiger’s den.

* * *

I never knew there would be a place like this deep in the tiger’s den.

A mansion that skillfully combines aboveground and underground.

The mansion I was led into by the woman’s hand was truly a cave-like mansion beautifully decorated. As the woman entered, a group of people respectfully bowed their heads.

“Have you arrived, Miss?”

“Yeah. This is my friend.”

“Welcome. Friend.”

I also gave a slight greeting.

But these people, there’s something absent in their eyes.

It’s as if they were zoning out.

Well, I understand too.

It’s natural to space out while working.

And as soon as she entered the house, the woman threw away the shirt she was wearing.

“Ugh, can clothes that hold in sound help hide abilities? Nonsense, nonsense…”

“No, wait.”

The woman was only wearing underwear apart from the shirt.

That means, suddenly I saw the woman’s bra whose name I didn’t even know. How many cup sizes is that? At least a D cup, right? A black lace decorated bra. It’s too provocative.

I couldn’t help but quickly turn my head.

“Sir, why are you acting like that?”

But the woman looked at me with an expression that genuinely didn’t understand why I was turning my head. She came closer to me, wearing a truly clueless expression.

“It’s strange. Sir, why are you doing that all of a sudden? Could it be, suddenly I look like a monster…”

“No, why are you suddenly showing me your underwear as if we have some kind of relationship?”

“Underwear…? Oh, underwear.”

The woman tilted her head slightly.

Along with that, something jiggled.

Jiggle, jiggle…

Should I just be honest with my desires???

No, hold back. Yu Hajin!!!

Should you really be looking at a woman’s chest when you don’t even know what kind of woman she is?

Then, it’s straight up harassment!!!

As I turned my head further, the woman suddenly murmured in an excited voice.

“No way. Is it because of my chest?”

The woman laughed bashfully as she said that.

“Is, is that why you’re turning your head? Please, just put on anything quickly.”

“But what about my chest?”

This pervert, why suddenly ask about that? I came here for nothing.

She really was a crazier woman than I imagined.

But because she had a look that seemed so desperate, I found myself unknowingly responding.

“That’s, really my taste, and it excites me, why am I making such a sound. Seriously, I really like it!!!”

“hehehe, hehehehe.”

The woman laughed like a fool and said this.

“It shouldn’t be more difficult. hehehehe, clothes, I’ll wear clothes.”

“Of course, you should wear them.”

Later, she won’t sue me for s*xual harassment.

It’s scary. Scary.

But the woman was subtly conscious of my gaze as she put on her clothes.

“Can I know your name by any chance?”

“Name?”

Why? Why are you asking about my name? To sue me?

But I also have a lot to say.

If you want to sue, sue me.

“For now, I’m called Yoo Hae-jin.”

“Yoo Hae-jin…”

The woman made a thoughtful expression for a moment and nodded her head.

“My, my name is Baek Yoo-rin.”

“Baek Yoo-rin.”

Baek Yoo-rin. Is it the Yoo-rin when it’s Yoo-rin-ha, as I thought.

Having such a foolish thought, I shook my head.

“It’s been so long since there was someone in this house.”

Baek Yoo-rin anxiously looked around.

Then, she glanced at me and said a word.

“Are you hungry, by any chance? There are hardly any groceries because there’s hardly anyone who eats here, but would you like me to at least cook instant noodles? No, there’s no instant noodles either.”

“No, don’t worry about cooking. Just lending me this house is already a great kindness.”

Baek Yoo-rin continued to be anxious.

Then, she grabbed my hand and said this.

“Then, would you like to play a game?”

“A game?!”

It’s not some strange game like that, right?

And as I listened to the following words, it was indeed not true.

“I also used to look down on people who played games, called hikikomoris, but once I became a hikikomori myself, uh, there was nothing as fun as games. So, I feel like I have a lot of friends in the internet world. hehehe.”

“Oh, I see.”

So, he was a gamer.

He was going to be good friends with Jamsoon.

But he could still play games at home.

There was no need to play games in this strange place.

That moment arrived.

My cellphone rang again.

I glanced at it and it was a safety notification message.

[Web Message][Safety Notification]

[Seoul]

The tiger emergency situation has ended.

Citizens are requested to return to their daily lives.

“It’s finally over.”

I put my phone in my pocket and said.

I didn’t expect time to pass by so quickly.

Whenever I’m late these days, Jamsoon starts making a fuss, so I should go home quickly.

“Unfortunately, I’ll have to do it next time. Since the tiger emergency situation is over, I think I should go home. If I’m late today, that little brat at home won’t leave me alone.”

“Yes, yes?”

“Then, I’ll go now.”

“Wa-wait. I’m still-“

That moment arrived.

Something with a considerable force grabbed my wrist.

“D-Don’t go…”

Baek Yoorin had a desperate expression and was holding onto my wrist.

“What kind of strength is this…”
