As he pulled out a glass jar at the bathroom entrance, the daisy, with its petals turned black, spoke with a voice full of rage. Before Ye-sol could apologize, black energy instantly filled the room, and space-time distorted.
Chapter 3
- Room Where You Can’t Leave Without Spawning (1)
“…Guide Ha Ye-sol!”
Ye-sol slowly opened his eyes to someone calling his name loudly and shaking him.
“Ugh….”
“Guide Ha Ye-sol!”
“Y-yes, yes…. It’s me….”
Ye-sol blinked his hazy eyes, trying to recognize the person who was calling and embracing him.
“What’s this, why is he in this state?”
Then another voice was heard. Ye-sol turned his head toward the sound, then jerked as someone pinched his cheek.
“Ow…!”
“What, he’s fine.”
“…Step back.”
“So stern.”
As the mix of a rigid tone and a mocking voice faded away, Ye-sol’s blurry vision gradually became clear.
“Ughhh… huh?”
Perhaps due to the pain, his surroundings brightened, and the first thing he saw was a handsome face with a scar on the chin. It was Esper Kye Sung-gi, the Jibural Team Leader. Then he realized the person who had pinched his cheek was Esper Jae Gi-chan.
“Guide Ha Ye-sol? Can you see now? Who am I?”
“Oh, yes…. Team Leader Kye Sung-gi….”
“Haah….”
Sung-gi, sighing in relief, held Ye-sol in his arms like handling a fragile object and bowed his head deeply. Though difficult to see in the backlight, he appeared extremely worried.
‘Tch, and earlier he just hit and ran….’
Ye-sol had a mischievous thought as he escaped from Team Leader Sung-gi’s embrace.
“But what happened… Oh, Flower-nim?!”
Ye-sol looked around, confirming he was still in his room, and searched for the daisy. But neither the luggage bag nor the glass jar was visible anywhere.
“Huh? The flower… I mean, did you see a glass jar here? Oh! Why, why are you like that?!”
Ye-sol urgently asked Team Leader Sung-gi, then was shocked. Team Leader Sung-gi wasn’t wearing any clothes, not even underwear. Seeing his thick pubic hair and dark red cock, Ye-sol was startled and stepped back.
“Hey, why are you so surprised? Are we strangers? Besides, you’re naked too, you know?”
“What? Gi-chan too…! Oh, wh-what… Oh!”
He realized that not only Team Leader Sung-gi but also Esper Gi-chan, and himself, were all naked. Ye-sol immediately sat down and curled up his body.
“H-how did this h-happen…? M-my clothes….”
Ye-sol, with a reddened face, looked around. There were no clothes anywhere. Not only that, but all the furniture and electronic devices, lighting, and windows in the bedroom were all trapped in ice-like transparent glass.
“Is someone… there…?”
And behind the sofa that Ye-sol frequently used, yellow hair was slightly visible.
“Is that Min-hwan…?”
“Ah! You caught me…!”
Though it was obvious from just the hair color, Min-hwan, who peeked out with his cute face, greeted Ye-sol with a bright smile. Indeed, Guide Min-hwan was also naked. Unlike the other team members, he made no effort to hide his petite body, and nestled close to Ye-sol, whispering:
“Hyung, I must have sucked too hard earlier. Your nipples are all swollen.”
“Huh…? Y-yeah….”
Ye-sol couldn’t say that it was because Dong-jeong had also kneaded his chest, not just Min-hwan.
‘Oh, speaking of Dong-jeong…?’
Could it be… he’s still hiding in the hideout?
As Ye-sol turned his head toward a corner of the room, Team Leader Sung-gi blocked his view.
“Guide Ha Ye-sol. I will briefly explain the current situation as an emergency disaster.”
“Emergency disaster…?”
“Yes, I’ll explain just once, so listen carefully.”
Speaking in a rigid tone, Team Leader Sung-gi, as if precisely remembering a manual, continued explaining the disaster situation to Ye-sol and the Jibural team members. Despite everyone being naked and facing an unexpected situation, his calmness demonstrated why he was the team leader.
“…Oh, by the way, Esper Hwang Dong-jeong is behind the bed. He’s calmed down, but perhaps because he cried too much, he says he doesn’t want to show his face to Guide Ha Ye-sol.”
“Ah….”
Ye-sol turned his head toward the bed. Though the bed was large enough to hide such a huge build, knowing that he had cried a lot made Ye-sol’s heart ache. Even though they were only two years apart in age, he thought that a child is still a child.
Afterward, Team Leader Sung-gi explained that as soon as he opened the bedroom door and entered, they were suddenly sucked into an opened dungeon. When they regained consciousness, their clothes were already removed, and all objects were solidified, hard as ice. The three Espers had tried using telekinesis, radio waves, and fire, but couldn’t even make a scratch.
“So the door won’t open? The windows too?”
“Yes, hyung. The entire room solidified like ice, and even Esper abilities or direct force couldn’t break it at all….”
Guide Min-hwan, beside Ye-sol, answered while leaning his head on Ye-sol’s shoulder. Somehow Min-hwan didn’t seem very worried about the emergency disaster.
“…Fuck, move away. It’s disgusting to look at.”
Gi-chan, watching this from the side, twisted his face and spoke.
“If it’s disgusting, look elsewhere. Why pick a fight out of nowhere?”
“What, you little shit? Want me to show you what a real fight is?”
“We don’t fight in emergency situations.”
Just before Min-hwan and Gi-chan started throwing sparks, Team Leader Sung-gi stepped in and warned in a chilling tone. As if this wasn’t the first time, the two didn’t argue further and turned their heads in opposite directions. However, Gi-chan seemed to have more to say.
“This isn’t something that’ll be solved by using abilities. It’s obviously like a room escape game, I’m telling you.”
Gi-chan said that instead of sitting around discussing, they should examine hidden spaces or objects around the room. Team Leader Sung-gi somewhat agreed with Gi-chan’s opinion but shook his head.
“We need to identify the cause first. Whatever it is, something clearly opened a dungeon in this room. Does anyone remember what they were doing before losing consciousness?”
“Sex!”
In response to Team Leader Sung-gi’s serious question, Min-hwan raised his hand high and shouted loudly, then corrected himself, saying, “Oh… we had sex earlier, and I was sleeping.” Gi-chan made an incredulous expression before saying that he had only come to Ye-sol’s room with Team Leader Sung-gi for dinner.
“I also came straight to Guide Ha Ye-sol’s room as soon as I returned to the center. I felt I should keep my promise.”
Team Leader Sung-gi, adding those words, cast his gaze at Ye-sol’s chest. Ye-sol felt embarrassed for no particular reason and covered his chest with his knees.
“What about Esper Hwang Dong-jeong?”
Before asking Ye-sol, he inquired of Dong-jeong, who was hiding behind the bed. Though he thought Dong-jeong would keep hiding, now he could see that Dong-jeong had raised just his eyes over the bed to look in their direction. He briefly made eye contact with Ye-sol before quietly speaking.
“I was… in the hideout….”
“Hideout?”
“There’s a hideout?”
When the hideout was mentioned, everyone made meaningful expressions and turned their heads toward Ye-sol. Ye-sol flinched at the many eyes suddenly fixed on him. He was worried that Esper Dong-jeong might speak honestly about what happened.
‘But since Dong-jeong likes Min-hwan… surely he wouldn’t say anything…?’
Perhaps sensing Ye-sol’s concern, Dong-jeong was looking at him with somewhat sad eyes. His eyes were so swollen from crying that his already innocent face looked even more innocent.
[Are you done chattering now?]
It was just as Ye-sol was anxiously waiting for Dong-jeong’s answer.
[Wow, even in a situation like this, you humans pretend to be so rational?]
