–Hey
–Um…
– – –
Snow White
?
It’s 3 a.m.
What’s going on?
– – –
–Were you asleep?
–Sorry
– – –
Snow White
Nah nah, why would an unemployed guy be sleeping at this hour? lol
I wasn’t asleep.
Since you weren’t saying anything,
I figured you were sleeping soundly.
– – –
–It came in.
– – –
Snow White
?
– – –
–Well…
–Into the hotel.
– – –
Snow White
Ah.
Holy shit.
You mean it actually came inside?
– – –
–Yes, but…
–It might’ve been a dream.
–I really couldn’t move at all.
–If it was a dream, that’d be a relief.
– – –
Snow White
Hyung,
I’m not trying to scare you,
– – –
–;;
–When you put it like that, it’s scary…
– – –
Snow White
Ah, sorry.
– – –
–But tell me.
–I need to know so I can prepare myself.
–Just don’t give me a preface first.
–That makes it even scarier…
– – –
Snow White
LOL.
Why are you so cute, hyung?
– – –
– =.=
– – –
Snow White
Okay.
I’ll shut up.
Anyway, if you look at ghost stories and stuff—
Movies too—
Most people go through something terrifying
and think it was just a dream.
– – –
–……
– – –
Snow White
By the time they start thinking,
“Wait… was that not a dream?”
it’s already too late.
– – –
–Haa….
– – –
Snow White
Are you okay?
– – –
–I don’t think I am.
–It’s just…
–It’s kind of…
–Ah……
– – –
Snow White
What happened?
– – –
–……
–I can’t talk about it here.
– – –
Snow White
??
– – –
–In person…
–It’s a bit…
–I’ll post it on the board.
– – –
Snow White
Okay, okay.

[Horror/Mystery Board Notice]
– – – – –
[Horror/Mystery] I’m the person who said I got an email from my dead lover
Huchu | 20xx.08.29. (03:23)
Hi.
It’s been a while, so I’m here to give an update.
For starters, things aren’t looking very good….
I saw it.
– – – – –
Comments
(03:23)
For fuck’s sake, please include the subject of the sentence.
You saw a cat, right?
Something like a cat.
(03:24)
I thought nothing had happened; what’s going on??
(03:24)
So it’s the Horror Board again… does that mean it finally showed up?
Huchu (03:25)
The day after I made that post, I actually saw… it.
I was awake, and our eyes met.
(03:26)
Oh lol, now it’s starting to sound like the occult.
(03:27)
You’re laughing at this?;
(03:27)
What did it look like?
Huchu (03:29)
And then I ran into it again the next day.
It called my name.
(03:29)
Holy shit
(03:30)
Just in case, don’t answer it.
They always say things like that can only come into your house if you answer them and give permission.
(03:31)
If all of this is really something the OP saw….
Then it seems like it was someone who knew the OP very well.
Huchu (03:31)
It was white, and its facial features were blurry, but its eyes looked like dark holes punched into its face.
At least, that’s what it seemed like.
But on the day it called my name, it felt like it had become a little clearer.
(03:32)
I shouldn’t have clicked this at dawn;
Huchu (03:34)
I’m not going to answer it.
That’s why I couldn’t take it anymore today and came to sleep at a hotel.
But this time it actually came inside.
(03:34)
Oh my god.
(03:34)
…
(03:35)
This isn’t one of those situations where the OP isn’t actually the OP anymore, right?
(03:35)
Like you’ve been possessed lol.
(03:36)
Quit fucking around, you trash bastards.
Huchu (03:40)
But after it came inside, it… did that.
It felt kind of like… a dream…
(03:41)
? Did what?
(03:41)
????
(03:42)
Did you have some wild sex or something? lol
Huchu (03:43)
Yeah…
That.
(03:43)
?????????
(03:44)
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(03:44)
Is the ghost pretty? If she’s pretty, sell me that dream.
(03:45)
Go read the comments above. He said it looked scary.
(03:46)
Sry, not buying.
(03:47)
Lol, can you explain in more detail?
(03:47)
That’s a spirit visitation.
That’s not a good thing.
Isn’t that where a ghost drains the life force of a living person?
Huchu (03:49)
How am I supposed to explain it in detail?;
It came to me and… did that with me.
What I really hated was that at first it felt genuinely strange, but the longer it went on, the more I started seeing my lover’s face.
Even the voice….
Some of the little habits during it were similar to my lover’s too.
So I’m confused.
(03:50)
If this is real, shouldn’t you try getting an exorcism or something?
(03:51)
Don’t let it seduce you.
Aren’t you already halfway under its spell?
(03:52)
I’d be happy if a virgin ghost came to me too lol. I’d like to help her pass on.
(03:53)
Ugh, that asshole keeps going.
Huchu (03:54)
Actually, more emails came too.
It sent what looked like a selfie of my lover and me together in bed.
It definitely wasn’t leaked.
I managed all of that data myself, and after my lover died, I was the one who went through and organized the phone.
Everything was completely clean, and I’m not some weird person.
(03:54)
Report the idiots posting nonsense.
(03:55)
You and your lover must’ve really had a good relationship.
You probably don’t want to hear this, but seeing how willing you are to believe it…
Have you still not gotten over them?
Huchu (03:57)
Yeah…
Sorry.
I’m too exhausted, so I’ll stop here for today.
If anything else happens, I’ll come back and post again.

Snow White
Hyung, are you okay?
– – –
–Yeah.
– – –
Snow White
If you’re tired, you should get some sleep first.
– – –
–I only ended it because I wanted to finish talking.
–I’m okay.
– – –
Snow White
Hyung,
don’t just leave posts there.
There was one crazy bastard in the comments.
– – –
–It’s fine.
–It’s not like it’s the first or second time I’ve heard brainless nonsense like that.
– – –
Snow White
Oh.
LOL, somehow you seem like the type who’d cry if someone said something like that to you.
– – –
–=.=
–Hey.
–Stop saying weird things.
– – –
Snow White
LOL, just drop the formal speech.
– – –
–……
–Uh.
–Okay.
– – –
Snow White
LOL.
But hyung.
– – –
–?
– – –
Snow White
Why “Huchu”?
Your username, I mean.
– – –
–;;
–It’s just…
–The name of a cat I used to have.
– – –
Snow White
Ah, I see.
Must’ve been cute.
Let me see a picture of Huchu.
– – –
–Okay.
– – –
Snow White
Feeling a little better?
– – –
–Yeah, I’m okay.
–(Photo)
–Cute, right?
– – –
Snow White
Yeah.
– – –
–Thanks.
– – –
Snow White
For what? lol
Anyway,
so you’re saying you had a spirit visitation, right?
– – –
–Yeah.
– – –
Snow White
No, but seriously—
Why can’t you talk about it?
I genuinely don’t have any prejudice about that, hyung lol.
– – –
–Even so, hearing it directly might make you uncomfortable.
–You might think I had a spirit visitation with a man because I’m gay.
–…….
–You wouldn’t curse at me or anything.
–I just figured you’d block me and leave it at that….
– – –
Snow White
Come on, I wouldn’t do that.
And I definitely wouldn’t curse at you lol.
– – –
–Thanks.
– – –
Snow White
No problem lol.
Hmm.
If it came all the way into the hotel and did that,
then changing locations doesn’t stop it from following you.
– – –
–Yeah….
–If anything, it’s gotten worse.
– – –
Snow White
Right.
Shouldn’t you really try getting an exorcism or something?
– – –
–I don’t know about exorcisms.
–I don’t feel like it.
– – –
Snow White
But you said it was starting to look more and more like your lover, right?
This is a really rude thing to ask,
but if the ghost actually is your lover,
is it possible your lover harbors bad feelings toward you?
– – –
–……
–If you’d said that
–to my face,
–I would’ve hit you.
– – –
Snow White
Yeah, I know.
I’d deserve it.
You can punch me later if you want.
– – –
–No….
–I know what you meant by that.
–Actually, I…
–Yeah.
– – –
Snow White
You really need to learn how to speak with a clear subject and object in your sentences.
– – –
–No….
–He used to say that too.
– – –
Snow White
Your lover?
– – –
–Yeah.
–We’d been friends since we were kids.
–I was kind of timid, and he was the opposite…
– – –
Snow White
The type who naturally draws people around him?
– – –
–Yeah.
–I’d been getting dragged around by him since we were little.
–We were always together, but…
–I didn’t always get along with his friends.
–I liked them, but our personalities were a bit different.
–Sometimes it was exhausting.
–Not in a bad way, though;
– – –
Snow White
Ohh…
I think I get it.
You wanted some time to yourself.
You preferred having fewer people around rather than meeting lots of different people.
You’d rather stay home and spend quiet time together than go out and hang around.
But your lover wanted to do everything together,
and since your lifestyles didn’t match, you’d end up fighting sometimes.
Something like that, right?
– – –
–;;
–How do you know that so well…?
– – –
Snow White
Because I got dumped by my girlfriend after hearing exactly that lol.
LOL.
I was the selfish one.
My girlfriend liked that kind of thing, but seeing me stay home alone all the time made her feel sorry for me.
Then I went into the military, and after she had to spend time on her own,
she said she’d never felt so comfortable in her life. ㅠ
– – –
–Uh….
–Sorry;
–It’s not like your girlfriend hated you.
–She probably wanted to go along with what you liked because she cared about you.
–But the exhaustion must’ve built up over time.
– – –
Snow White
Yeah, thanks.
– – –
–Some relationships are better off with distance.
–In the end, forming relationships with other people is something we do for ourselves too….
–Are you okay now?
– – –
Snow White
I didn’t even have time to be sad.
It was winter, and that fucking snow was insane.
Sorry for swearing.
v
–I understand. Snow is…
–Yeah, that’s rough.
– – –
Snow White
Ah, this is the part where a military story is about to start.
Let’s skip it.
– – –
–LOL, yeah.
–Anyway, don’t be too heartbroken.
– – –
Snow White
Yeah, but…
How did this turn into relationship counseling for me?;
– – –
–LOL
– – –
Snow White
Were you having fun?
– – –
–No lol, it’s just…
–Thanks to you,
–I’m not scared anymore.
–You’re more effective than Huchu.
–Thanks.
– – –
Snow White
Well, glad I helped.
Since I told you my story, now you tell me yours.
– – –
–Okay.
–When we were younger and dating, we both just endured things quietly.
–But my lover got busy, and I got busy too.
–Both of our jobs involved a lot of overtime, but when the weekend came, he still wanted to spend time with me.
– – –
Snow White
Oof.
– – –
–So we fought a lot.
–Not enough to break up, but…
–It was exhausting.
–It felt like all the things we’d both been holding in finally exploded.
–We started clashing more and more.
–The fights kept getting worse….
–Actually, we fought the day before the accident too.
–He was leaving on a business trip, and normally I would’ve seen him off.
–But I pretended to be asleep and ignored him.
–He must’ve known perfectly well that I was only pretending.
–Even so, he gently told me he was leaving.
–I remember thinking I’d do something special and make up with him when he got back.
–And then the accident happened.
–He died instantly.
– – –
Snow White
You’ve probably heard this a lot,
but don’t blame yourself.
– – –
–LOL, yeah, but it’s not that easy.
–Honestly, even now I don’t know….
–Other than the broken window and the emails,
–there isn’t any real proof.
–Sometimes I wonder if I’ve completely lost my mind
–and I’m just imagining all of this by myself.
– – –
Snow White
Hyung.
Hyung, listen.
What are you going to do tomorrow?
– – –
–Tomorrow, I should go back home.
–Coming out here didn’t help anyway.
– – –
Snow White
Then tomorrow, do you want to do something like Skype with me?
– – –
–??
– – –
Snow White
I’ll watch with you.
Whether it’s really there or not.
– – –
–Ah.
– – –
Snow White
It’ll be clearer if another person sees it.
If you’re sick, then you can go to a hospital.
And if there’s actually a ghost…
then you can get an exorcism or something…
That should work, right?
– – –
–Would that really be okay?
– – –
Snow White
Yeah.
– – –
–It’s pretty late, though…..
– – –
Snow White
LOL, I’m usually still awake at this hour.
Though it is about time for me to sleep.
– – –
–Ah, right.
–I should get some sleep too if I’m going to work tomorrow.
– – –
Snow White
Will you be okay?
– – –
–Yeah. It’s thanks to you.
–Now that I know what time it shows up,
–it’s scary until then,
–but once that time passes, I actually feel relieved.
– – –
Snow White
LOL, that’s good.
Then get some sleep, hyung.
– – –
–Yeah, good night.
– – –
Snow White
Yep lol.

[Texts]
Snow White
Hyung.
Off work?
– – –
–Yeah.
–On my way home.
–Why?
– – –
Snow White
Nothing.
If you’re tired, I was going to tell you to go sleep first.
I’ll wake you up.
– – –
–I probably should.
–My brain isn’t working right now.
–Back in the day, I could stay up all night and be fine.
–I’m not even that old, but here I am.
– – –
Snow White
You said you’re in your thirties, right?
They say your health in your twenties and thirties is different,
and your health in your thirties and forties is different too.
Take care of yourself.
– – –
–You’re in your twenties.
– – –
Snow White
That’s what my older brothers told me.
– – –
–Didn’t you say you were twenty-three?
–Is the age gap between you and your brothers that big?
– – –
Snow White
My oldest brother is forty-one,
and my other brother is thirty-eight.
And cute little Snow White is a twenty-three-year-old baby.
– – –
–……
–Ah, somehow…
–that actually makes sense.
– – –
Snow White
LOOOOOOOL.
I’m the youngest child who grew up being loved by the whole family.
– – –
–Mr. Youngest Child Who Grew Up Loved by the Whole Family,
–have you been pretty free lately?
–You must be busy, and I feel like I’ve been taking up too much of your time.
–Sorry.
– – –
Snow White
It’s fine.
I’ve actually got a lot of free time.
More accurately, I’m so bored
I’m going out of my mind.
Before I started talking with you,
I think I saw about five hundred perverts on random chat.
– – –
–Umm…;
–Don’t you have a lot of friends?
– – –
Snow White
Most people
are a pain.
They’re all so transparent about what they’re after lol.
– – –
–I’m pretty transparent too, though.
– – –
Snow White
?
You’re desperate.
That’s different. lol
– – –
–Right.
–Well, if you say so….
– – –
Snow White
And, hyung,
by any chance…
you haven’t done anything that would make someone hold a grudge against you, right?
– – –
–A grudge?
–I don’t know.
–There are plenty of people who don’t like me, though.
– – –
Snow White
Huh? Why would anyone dislike you?
You seem nice, hyung lol.
– – –
–For various reasons.
–I’m kind of a loser.
– – –
Snow White
Have some confidence, hyung lol.
– – –
–Hmm…
–Still, I don’t think anyone holds a grudge against me.
– – –
Snow White
No, it’s just…
it feels like there’s got to be a reason it’s specifically following you around.
Ghosts usually do that, don’t they?
When they become fixated on something.
– – –
–……
–There is one thing.
–If we’re talking about resentment, then probably my parents.
– – –
Snow White
What?
– – –
–Ten years ago, I came out, got my head cracked open, and was thrown out of the house.
–A while ago, they contacted me because they needed a liver transplant, and I turned them down.
–But I haven’t heard any obituary yet, so they’re probably still alive.
– – –
Snow White
No, I…
I wasn’t expecting something like this.
– – –
–I know.
–Sorry.
–I was taking it out on you.
– – –
Snow White
LOL.
If you’re going to vent your frustrations, then go all the way.
How’s it venting if you apologize afterward?
– – –
–Sorry…
– – –
Snow White
You must be really exhausted, hyung.
Is your trip home long?
– – –
–No, I’m almost there.
– – –
Snow White
Okay.
What time should I wake you up?
– – –
–I want to take a shower,
–but I don’t even have the energy for that right now.
–Wake me up before 2.
–I’d like to get cleaned up first.
–Wake me around 1.
– – –
Snow White
Okay.
– – –
–Sorry for being a burden.
– – –
Snow White
I told you, I’ve got plenty of free time lol.
Anyway, see you later, hyung.
– – –
–Yeah, thanks.
