Chapter 22- Yandere Girl (2)
Kim Ha-eun, Intern.
…It was this person.
=======
/GRA Employee
Position: Intern. /Last position ‘Assistant Department head’.
Title: Yandere Girl.
Employee Kim Ha-eun was quite quiet and introverted when she first joined GRA.
Always characterized by her long bangs and a timid voice.
Intern Kim Ha-eun, due to this personality, was ranked as the employee most likely to be killed first when deployed to ghost stories.
However, contrary to her introverted personality, she recorded exceptionally high success rates in ghost story missions.
It was characteristic that she always returned covered in blood after completing the suppression of ghost stories. (When asked whose blood it was, she answered that it was not her own.)
Special note.
When deployed with employee Kim Ha-eun to ghost stories, always form a team of 3 people. (For unknown reasons, there have been numerous cases where only she returned alive when sent in teams of 2.)
TMI. Employee Kim Ha-eun always muttered in a small voice that her formal jacket was too tight. (It was said to be the largest size.) She has received numerous confessions from many male employees.
=======
Our GRA agency’s biggest troublemaker.
Yandere girl.
Employee Kim Ha-eun, who caused the most incidents among GRA’s many notable figures, and who always ranks second in online popularity polls.
She’s standing right in front of my eyes.
“…A-are you okay? Your complexion…”
“!!”
I unwittingly showed my reaction.
Cold sweat running down my cheeks and sweat covering my entire palms.
Drip, drip.
My whole body was soaked in sweat.
But I never thought I’d meet Kim Ha-eun in a place like this.
Of all people… I met the one person I shouldn’t meet.
What terrible luck.
I take back what I just said about forming a friendly relationship with GRA agency people.
Not this woman.
No, I must not get involved with this person no matter what!
Hesitating.
I glanced sideways at the entrance to the ghost story general store.
It’s closed.
Damn!
Too late to escape.
Then.
I took out the smartphone from my pocket and quickly checked the time.
08:42 AM.
18 minutes left.
…God has abandoned me.
Kim Ha-eun looked at me with a strange gaze at my continued odd behavior.
Flinch!
Ca-calm down.
I might be overreacting. My encounter with Kim Ha-eun hasn’t been that long yet.
If I show any more strange behavior here, I might catch her eye in a different way.
Park Yeon-jeong took a moment to catch his breath and coolly reviewed his current situation.
…That’s right.
After organizing his thoughts, Park Yeon-jeong began to implement the plan he had established.
Steps approaching toward Kim Ha-eun.
“Wa-wait. Ah, I’m not ready yet…!”
As Park Yeon-jeong suddenly approached, Kim Ha-eun closed her eyes tightly, clutching her heart that felt like it would burst.
It was probably the first time in her life she felt such trembling.
…?
But contrary to Kim Ha-eun’s expectations.
Park Yeon-jeong, who was in front of her until just now, had somehow approached the counter and placed a red knife on it, saying:
“How much is this!”
“…Our customer. You have a tougher charm than expected…I feel good! I’ll take 5 million won off. Exactly 8 million won!”
…How does this person know I have exactly 8 million won left.
This person really has an amazing sense for money.
But this will do.
“I’ll take it!”
“Thank you for your purchase!”
I approached Kim Ha-eun and handed her the red knife I had purchased with my entire savings.
“…Th-thank… you.”
Kim Ha-eun still looking at the knife with a dazed expression, and the store owner watching us with a pleased expression as if watching a youth drama.”……..”
Soon after, Kim Ha-eun.
Flushed.
With cheeks turning bright red, she was completely ready to thank Park Yeon-jeong for giving her the first gift.
“…Kiss him. Kiss him.”
The consecutive vulgar voice of a middle-aged man was also heard, but at present, Park Yeon-jeong couldn’t hear anything.
“…Ex-excuse me! If, if you don’t mind… your name…”
“Ah! Look at the time already? I’m sorry Ha-eun. I think I need to go now, so I’ll leave first.”
Immediately, without any hesitation, the urgent back view of a man who opened the door of the ghost story general store and vanished outside.
Done!
That’s it.
Park Yeon-jeong left the ghost story general store and quickly departed from the vicinity of Seongsu Station along the path he had come.
Along with the thought that he should change the time of his visit to the Ghost story General Store next time.
After wandering around the vicinity of Seongsu Station for a few more minutes.
When the time safely pointed to 09:00 AM.
Like before, his body had arrived at the library.
Park Yeon-jeong finally let out a sigh of relief.
He…
A man who had fallen into the serious misunderstanding that everything had ended well, without even knowing what kind of verbal mistake he had made just now.
Without thinking that the farewell gift he had given.
Would become a lifetime memory for someone.
That’s how the first meeting between Park Yeon-jeong and Kim Ha-eun began.
*****
After Park Yeon-jeong ran away in a hurry.
…Sigh. Missed all the fun.
‘Jang Sa-hyeon’, who is in charge of the Ghost story General Store, witnessed what should have been a blossoming young love ending abruptly in a sad ending.
Returning to his boring daily life, Jang Sa-hyeon rested his chin on his hand and absently stared at a woman who still couldn’t escape the shock of rejection.
‘…But, it’s strange.’
Jang Sa-hyeon had a genuine question about that male customer rejecting this woman.
‘Usually, no man dislikes a woman with large breasts?’
Her face is decent enough, and even in clothes too big for her frame, that level of volume.
Is top-tier.
And the most impressive part is of course.
With that impossible breast size…
Why did he really reject her?
The more Jang Sa-hyeon dug into it, the more he couldn’t understand why that man had rejected that woman.
While Jang Sa-hyeon was reminiscing about his youth when he had dated many women and feeling regret that the two people in front of him couldn’t connect.
“He, he knew my name…”
“……”
“He… knew it.”
?
It was quite a small whisper, but Jang Sa-hyeon had better hearing than others, so he heard her timid voice clearly.
“I never… told him… he already knew me.”
“…”
While Jang Sa-hyeon was quietly focusing on the woman’s voice, he was enveloped in a strange atmosphere as an unknown, strange energy emanated from the woman in front of him.
“…Hehe.Hehehe.Hehehehehehe…Thengiftis…heh,aproposal…right?Hehe,hehehehehehe.”
“……..”
Ah, so that’s why he rejected her?
Jang Sa-hyeon instantly understood.
Why that male customer left this place so quickly as if running away.
But Kim Ha-eun was already lost in her own world, tightly hugging the knife he had given her as a gift between her cleavage.
In an even smaller voice than before, she whispered.
“……..I love you……..”

*****
static-
Now familiar with the noise, my head naturally turned toward the speaker.
[Great to see you again today! Employee Park Yeon-jeong! It’s already your third day since joining!]
Everything else is fine but.
I wish he would stop that habit of counting the days.
For some reason, it reminds me of my trainee days counting down to military discharge, which makes me feel not so great…
[……But.]
The sudden pause in the announcement created a slight tension in the air.
[Indeed…it suits you well, that black suit. They say ‘clothes make the man.’ But that saying only works when your face can carry it too, wouldn’t you agree?]
…Ah, you were talking about my clothes.
Was I too tense?
I responded to his compliment with an appropriate reply.
“It’s all thanks to your thoughtful care, senior.”
static-!
The noise just now was considerably more severe than usual.
[Hmm, senior… Senior… Not a bad ring to it.]
[However, I would prefer if Employee Park Yeon-jeong maintained a more horizontal relationship with me.]
In response to his dislike of the formal title.
“Then, what should I call you…?”
[Please call me whatever makes you comfortable.]
…The most difficult question in the world appears.
A superior saying ‘let’s be casual’ along with something like ‘just call me bro!’ creates the most uncomfortable relationship.
“When you say comfortably…”
[Yes, just call me whatever feels comfortable. Comfortably.]
I really can’t think of anything.
I can’t immediately come up with a good answer to navigate this situation naturally.
‘Call him comfortably?’
The names currently circling in my head are:
-Ghost bro.
-Library director.
-Broadcast guy.
-Speaker?
-Brown…
I can’t think of anything, damn it!
Numerous terrible options rapidly flash through my mind.
static-
At that moment, noise brushes past my ears.
Ah…the noise is annoying.
…No, ise.
Noise?
“…Noise? Noise! Yes, Noise!”
[Noise, you say?]
“Yes! How about ‘Noise’!”
I suggested the name because the intonation sounded nice. It might have seemed like a name with little thought put into it, but.
[Noise…Noise…Noise…hmm, not bad at all.]
[Since it’s a name that Employee Park Yeon-jeong came up with after careful consideration, it can’t possibly be a bad name!]
With some inexplicable guilt, I worried that if he learned the true intention behind the name, I might face some kind of retribution.
[Then, from now on, when calling me, I’d like you to address me as ‘Noise’.]
“…Yes, understood…Mr. Noise.”
[Hmm, indeed a wonderful sound. I like it.]
…Since the one receiving the name says it’s fine.
I guess it’s fine then.
After this brief commotion, I thought it was time to get to the main point of the conversation.
[Ah, before that.]
Noise, who I thought would immediately discuss work matters, paused for a moment.
Whoosh.
A white librarian appeared in front of Park Yeon-jeong holding a book.
As he gestured for me to take the book he was holding.
I accepted it bewilderedly.
At first, I examined the book wondering what kind of book it was. When I noticed the musical note drawn on the book cover.
‘This book couldn’t be…’
As if reading my expression, Noise said.
[Yes! Employee Park Yeon-jeong. That book is exactly what you’re thinking!]
-And the performance began.
Park Yeon-jeong entered the previous ghost story and.
Brought back the first ghost story.
[I finished processing it exactly 1 hour before Employee Park Yeon-jeong arrived. Let’s open it.]
…Processing?
Noise casually mentions processing a ghost story like himself without any hesitation.
I held the book cover and paused for a moment.
Suddenly, nothing’s going to jump out, right?
I was momentarily worried that the conductor might jump out and harm me. When I was caught in this brief concern.
‘…Oh whatever!’
I just closed my eyes tight and opened the book in one go.
Anyway, since this Noise guy told me to open the book, he would have made me open it no matter what happened.
It’s not like I’m going to die.
Wide open!
Even while deeply reminding myself of this thought, my face was already completely fearful.
…Hmm?
For now, nothing jumped out.
With a reaction different from what I expected, Park Yeon-jeong slowly opened his eyes that had been closed and looked at the contents of the book.
The conductor was standing on the page of the book.
“…………”
♩!!!
And that too.
In such an adorably small size.
