Episode 12
[User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 3
Current location: Tiered basement, billiard room
Sage Advice: 3]
“No, you can’t even just push the cue stick straight? My brother showed me a demonstration, hold on tightly to the gripping part, maintain the angle of the end with your left hand, and just snap it in a straight line!”
“Oh, bro, I’ve never played billiards before…”
“What are college students doing if they don’t play billiards? From what I heard you said earlier, is it a game? You say you almost never do that? “What on earth did you do for a living?”
It is unfair. There are so many things to do in the world other than billiards and games, but Jincheol has been pounding for 20 minutes because he can’t play those two.
Fortunately, none of the ‘sage advice’ really worked while I was wandering around the amenities.
Apparently, what did he say when he tried to take the elevator down to the basement on the first day?
‘It’s dangerous to go down now!’ I did, but why is it okay today?
The difference between the first day and today.
If you think about it, on the first day, a monster attacked the front desk.
The monster disappeared at some point… maybe it was underground.
There are still many things we don’t know about this hotel.
Regarding convenience facilities, Eunsol’s prediction yesterday was correct.
The facility itself looks the same as the guest room from the outside.
From the outside, it looks like a swimming pool or a zoo, so big that you can’t fit in.
When I opened the door to the room, everything was there like a lie.
Now is not the time to be surprised by something like this.
So everyone just had fun and went to wherever they wanted to be and started playing.
Eunsol went to a bar and started drinking cocktails.
Songi is at the zoo, Elena is at the swimming pool, and Seungyeop is at the PC room.
I think everyone is having a good time wherever they want to go. Except me.
I was wandering around wondering where and what to do when I was caught by Jincheol.
This hotel had almost everything,
There was no one except us, and we can’t play billiards alone.
“But… the facilities are nice and everything, but since we are the only people there, it’s a bit difficult to hang out.”
“That’s right. I don’t know if Eunsol would have fun going to a cocktail bar alone.
It’s a zoo, so it looks like there are animals. “Seungyeop, does he have something to do at the PC room?”
“The games she plays aren’t necessarily those played with a friend next to her.”
“I know that, dude. Is there anyone who doesn’t know that?
But, doesn’t it seem like the internet won’t work?
Not only is the cell phone not working, but it is not an atmosphere conducive to communication with the outside world.”
“Hmm… it’s ambiguous. “It might be more fun to just get together in moderation.”
Tak –
Refreshingly, my cue cut through the air and hit the edge of the table next to the ball.
As soon as Jincheol saw that, he put down the cue stick and stood up.
“Hey, hey, let’s just stop. Well, what’s the point of playing billiards and winning with a kid who can’t even hit the ball?
I’m not having fun, and you’re not having fun either. “Let’s go meet other people.”
That’s really fortunate.
Where should I go?
A place that immediately came to mind? Honestly, I will put my hand on my heart and admit it.
Here, 95% of men in the world probably think the same thing? It’s a swimming pool!
Really, I’ve been thinking about throwing this cue stick away and going to the swimming pool for a long time!
If it were a person, or even a man, Jincheol would be no different! I’m 100% sure.
“brother! Of course, how about a swimming pool! It’s not like we’re going to learn anything about games,
I’ve never had a cocktail before. “Of course it won’t be a zoo.”
“Pool?… I don’t have that swimsuit either.”
“Elena also went without a swimsuit, but seeing as she didn’t come out and was fine,
Isn’t there a swimsuit inside? Looking at the billiards room now, there is a cue and everything.
“No, of course there is a cue stand in the billiard room… How can there be swimsuits in the swimming pool when I don’t even know the people’s sizes?”
“Hyung, it’s a normal hotel, and whenever we ate, drank, and ate, everything came out exactly to our tastes, but now I don’t even know what swimsuit size I have.”
Something is strange. No, how could this guy show that he doesn’t want to go to the swimming pool in this situation…
Since you always smiled whenever you talked to Elena, I thought she had the same thoughts as me.
Still, I somehow convinced him. Anyway, it’s not like there’s anywhere else to go!
As I left the room and moved on, I saw Seungyeop and Eunsol noona coming out from across the hallway.
“Well, you guys came out too.”
“Aha, was it because my sister was alone too?”
“Well, at least I was drinking a cocktail alone in a place where there was no bartender, so I came out wondering what this was….
“When I came out, I saw that he had already appeared in Miri.”
“The Internet doesn’t work… The computer is really great, but what on earth are you supposed to do with a computer that doesn’t have the Internet?”
“I was thinking about going in your direction, but you came out too. “Was billiards not that good?”
“Sister, I can’t even speak. This guy can’t hit the ball according to the cue. “Ugh, what on earth did you do?”
“Ahahaha, so where should everyone go?”
“I’ll guess. “You came out to go to the swimming pool!”
Hot.
To be honest, it’s true, but it’s somehow embarrassing to have it pointed out to me from the front.
However, 4 people have already appeared, and honestly, isn’t it a bit of a ‘zoo’ with Songi in it?
The only thing left is the swimming pool anyway!
As I flinched, my older sister giggled and turned around.
“Oh, it’s cute~ But let’s go to the pool. “For something that has a lot going on, there really isn’t anywhere to go.”
We all decided to go to the swimming pool together.
“But… I came here first, right? While I was waiting, I heard something strange.
Has anyone else heard anything?”
“I didn’t hear? “What are you talking about?”
“Every time something pops up on our hotel display, it’s ding! You say it. The sound seemed to come from far away. is not it?”
“Gain?”
“Well, there are no notices in ‘advice’.”
“Then I guess it’ll be okay. In the meantime, if something seems out of the ordinary, advice always pops up.”
In all places, including the monkey incident on the first day, the front door, the elevator, and the room of curses, the wise man gave appropriate advice in every crisis.
Now, there is no need to suddenly stab me in the back.
Soon, Seung-yeop also said that he probably misheard, and after laughing awkwardly, everyone headed to the swimming pool.

/Today’s surprise event!
‘Living Swimming Pool’ opens!/
————————————————– ————————————————– —————————
I understood why my older brother, who had been challenging me to play billiards all morning, was nervous when I asked him to go to the swimming pool.
You must be confident in your body, and ‘Elena’ is swimming!
This brother,
It’s such a ridiculous beer bottle.
Huh, huh, huh
Cough! Ufufu! Ugh, ugh!
Indeed, colorful sounds fill the swimming pool.
“I heard yesterday that you can learn at least the basics of swimming.”
“Huh, huh, huh… I definitely learned that when I was young.”
“When you say when you’re young, do you mean when you swam in your mother’s womb?”
“Haha, hehe, you’re good at joking.”
It’s not a joke at all.
In my opinion, Eunsol said what she said with 100% sincerity, and I think the same thing.
This… can this happen? If you just take a deep breath, your body will naturally float on the water.
Even if we just dog swim in that condition, at least we have to go from now on, right?
The force is so strong that it seems like he’s swinging his legs to the point of almost making a thunder noise, but why can’t he extend his legs back?
It seems like it will rise if I just take a breath, but as I twist my whole body, I can see it gradually sinking.
Thanks to her older brother’s amazing skills, even Elena’s presence disappeared at some point, despite her brilliant swimming skills reminiscent of a dolphin (swimming skills, after all!).
I leaned against the wall and started watching Jincheol.
The scene where the 190-year-old giant twists and struggles, gradually sinking into the water, is worth paying to see.
Watching this is even more fun because I was nagged all morning for not being able to hit the billiard ball.
While everyone was giggling, Songi came in.
“ah! Everyone was here. “I went to the billiard room and the bar, but there was no one there so I wondered where it was.”
“Songi, change your clothes right away! If you enter the second-to-last room with clothes on it, the swimsuit is to blame! and come out
“If you don’t see it, turn around for a moment and look again.”
“Seeing you talk like that so calmly makes me think we’re in a really strange place.”
We casually shared some really strange stories.
“Did you enjoy the zoo? Are there many animals? An elephant or something?
“Oh, Ga-in oppa, I think we should all go to the zoo together later.” It’s a bit of a strange zoo.
“It’s not the kind of zoo we think.”
Jincheol, who was out of the water at some point, answered.
“A strange zoo? There is nothing strange about this hotel.
This swimming pool is so strange, but even in such a strange place, what is especially strange?
“Isn’t it true that humans are animals too and are being kept in captivity?”
“It’s not like that, it’s just full of animals I’ve never seen before. “It’s not like deer or fox or anything like that… These are animals I’ve never seen before.”
“Isn’t it just an animal that Songi doesn’t know about? “I was surprised while watching the famous documentary “The Living Earth,” and there were a lot of really strange animals in the world.”
“Some types might be like that. However, of course, the zoo is so large that I couldn’t see some of the species, but I still saw more than 10 species, but I don’t know them all.”
“Then… Actually, I don’t think we should all go there together, but I think we should avoid it all together…”
“is it?”
Strange zoo. I remembered it. I think the botanical garden will have a similar feel.
A zoo full of animals found nowhere else. Are they only collecting unusual animals that the general public doesn’t know about and keeping them in captivity?
If that’s the case, I’m glad…
Maybe, if it’s an ordinary animal by this hotel’s standards, if it’s an animal somewhere-
When the ominous thoughts began,
A strange thing happened.
