The current team composition is as follows:

The haunted house team consists of me, Yuhina, Seol Yubin, and Ji Seunghyun. The amusement ride team includes Banhamin and Seong Jichan. And just… just there is Sun Woojin.

After finishing lunch, we headed to our respective destinations.

“Huh? Why are you coming this way?”

I asked Sun Woojin, who had naturally joined this side.

Sun Woojin responded without hesitation, “I think it’ll be less annoying on this side.”

Thinking of Banhamin, his answer was so convincing that I agreed.

Yuhina seemed annoyed by Sun Woojin’s choice.

“Really. Jin, you need to improve your social skills. Why are you so indecisive coming all the way here? Since you’ve come, why not have some fun? Of course, it’s true that I dragged someone who doesn’t like me or Banhamin with me, but if I hadn’t, you’d be alone playing games at home on the weekend. You need to get some sunlight!”

“…….”

Sun Woojin seemed annoyed, but fortunately, he didn’t say anything.

‘He tolerates that.’

Yuhina and Samdaeboui seemed to have a deep friendship than I thought. Was it because they had known each other since childhood?

‘Surprisingly, Sun Woojin doesn’t seem to have an introverted personality.’

I looked at Sun Woojin with new eyes.

Of course, Sun Woojin, catching my gaze, frowned as if asking, ‘What’s with him again?’

‘He seems less introverted than I thought.’

‘By the way, how did I ‘force’ Sun Woojin to come here?’

Sun Woojin doesn’t seem likely to be swayed by friendship. It’s intriguing.

Meanwhile, we finally arrived in front of the haunted house.

You can’t enter the haunted house with a free pass; you had to buy a separate admission ticket.

Yuhina said, “Okay, then I’ll go buy the tickets.”

I brought up the prepared words.

“Wait a moment.”

“Why?”

“I feel a bit sorry to say this now, but can I not go in?”

The truth is, I’m a huge scaredy-cat.

‘How can I go into a haunted house?’

I get startled even when I’m alone at home.

‘What if I seriously go in and die from a heart attack.’

By the way, before the possession, I had been here once, but at that time, I entered and escaped within a minute because it was so scary.

‘Anyway, the haunted house was chosen as a place for Seol Yubin and Ji Seunghyun’s date.’

The purpose is to let the two of them go in, so it’s okay for me to skip.

I thought so and smiled broadly.

“You guys go and have fun. I’ll wait outside.”

But that was my mistake.

“What? Then what about me?”

Yuhina frowned.

“I’m scared too!”

That’s right. This haunted house plan was the work of the three scaredy-cats—me, Yuhina, and Banhamin.

‘Did no one think they’d be the one to go in?’

Surely, when planning, each of them must have thought, ‘Someone else will go in, not me.’
Banhamin had escaped long ago, and I had pressed the escape button. However, Yuhina missed the timing to exit, resulting in her entering the haunted house.

Realizing her situation, Yuhina urgently grabbed my arm and said, “No, you have to go in with me. That way, it’ll be a perfect match!”

“If you line up, someone else there will naturally pair up with you!”

“Who knows if that person might be a ghost!”

Seol Yubin watched us grappling with each other, unable to make a decision.

Ji Seunghyun sighed and said, “Then, shall we all just go in together?”

Both Yuhina and I shouted simultaneously, “No!”

I separated from Yuhina, put on a forced smile, and said, “After coming this far, how can I not go in? Of course, I have to check it out.”

Then, gritting my teeth, I whispered to Yuhina, “It would be suspicious if you refuse to go in now. Just go in.”

“Do you think what you’re doing isn’t suspicious? Look! They’re looking at us strangely now!”

“You were the one who suggested coming here first! So, you have to go in!”

In the end, our choice was decided by rock-paper-scissors.

“Scissors! Rock! Paper!”

And the winner was Yuhina.

“I won!”

“This can’t be!”

I grabbed my head with both hands and groaned, “Let’s do it again!”

Upon hearing this, Yuhina arrogantly said, “Lee Jueun, don’t act so pathetic and accept your defeat.”

I, who had been determined to argue fiercely and even suggested playing three rounds of rock-paper-scissors, eventually gave up due to Yuhina’s impenetrable defense.

Facing the entrance, I sighed and muttered to myself, “This can’t go on.”

In reality, I had once entered a haunted house before possession, and I escaped immediately after entering at the first exit. Tears welled up at the prospect of an impending disaster.

I quickly made up my mind.

‘I can’t die alone.’

Then, I pulled Sun Woojin along.

“You should come too.”

“What?”

Sun Woojin tried to free himself, saying, “Are you crazy?”

“Why, scared?”

But Sun Woojin didn’t succumb to the provocation.

“Yeah, I am scared.”

“Don’t be ridiculous! What’s there to be scared of?”

Nevertheless, Sun Woojin stubbornly endured, pretending not to have heard. But my desperate determination overcame Sun Woojin. In the end, I succeeded in dragging Sun Woojin into the haunted house.
