Episode 6 – Room 101, Room of the Curse – ‘Strange Family’
[User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 2
Current location: Tier 1, in front of room 101 (???)
Sage Advice: 3]
Everyone stood in front of room 101. At some point, there was a tense atmosphere. What kind of monster is waiting for you? It’s not like he can’t beat Jincheol, right? Honestly, if something inside is a monster that not even Jincheol can handle, I think they should just be exterminated at that point. I also brought a dagger… but honestly, I don’t think that carrying a dagger makes me a good combatant at all.
Everyone glanced at Jincheol to see if they were thinking the same thing. No matter who looks at it, it’s our powerlessness. our fists. The person you trust the most. It seems like such a trustworthy person has such a good personality that I wonder how scary he would have been if it weren’t for him. Perhaps conscious of the stares of the people around him, Jincheol cleared his throat and was the first to go to the door of room 101.
“Well, let’s eat. I’ll go to the front. Let’s not worry too much. It was just a vague thought… was this hotel planning to kill us all? Then there is no need to do anything this complicated. If you don’t feed them, they’ll starve to death, and if you give them some poison, they won’t be able to move and they’ll all die.
However, in the meantime, he fed me well, gave me a spacious bed so he could rest well, gave me a warning to Ga-in in case something dangerous happened, gave Eunsol a spoonful of salt to see if I was lacking in equipment, and gave me some strength. , I did.”
“In their own way, it seems like they sincerely want us to overcome the danger and obtain the treasure?”
“Yes. Why on earth do you do this? I don’t know about that, but at least they don’t plan on killing us out of thin air. That’s my conclusion. It’s not completely nonsense to say something like ‘Dear customer’ all the time. Something like that. So, even if there is a monster in here, this crazy guy suddenly comes out and kills us all in one second. “I don’t think anything like this will happen.”
If you were planning on ending it that way, there’s no need to make it this complicated, just adding poison to the rice would suffice. It’s persuasive. I hadn’t noticed it before, but this guy has a surprisingly deep thinking side.
Yes. This hotel is not a space created to kill us. In one form or another, there must be a risk that we can address!
When I thought about that, the tension subsided.
[I understood a little about the hotel.]
Eventually, the moment the door opened and everyone entered the room, I instinctively realized it.
The order in which you enter this room is meaningless.

Sage Advice: 3]
…….
I had a strange dream. It feels like a nightmare, but I don’t remember much. There is nothing strange. In fact, aren’t dreams usually hard to remember once you wake up? I just shook my head and forgot about it. I feel my consciousness sinking into the world of dreams again…
Jump up!
“Han Ga-in, you’re not waking up! The sun rose in the sky! “This is going to be a big deal!!!!”
I woke up startled by a deafening cry.
“ah! “Stop yelling at me, Mom!”
“Please wake up at the right time. Will my mother ever yell at me? How old is she before her mother wakes her up? Come quickly and eat breakfast! “My whole family has already eaten!”
I woke up in a daze, washed up properly, changed my clothes, and headed to the dining table. For some reason, I felt like I had met someone I really missed. Is it because of a nightmare I had yesterday? I feel like everything is happening.
Naturally, let alone the whole family eating, the spoons had not even gone up to the table yet. Her mom always wakes her up when she says everyone has finished eating without even opening the rice cooker, and she doesn’t know why.
“Ah Ham! You thought I was losing my ears because of you. “It’s going to happen right away. I got up because I called you five times.”
“Hey, it’s because I had a strange dream last night. My head hurts so much. But didn’t you go to school? “Is it okay for a high school senior to wake up with me?”
“brother. They say that if you live a really fucking lazy life, you don’t know what day of the week it is, and that’s exactly it. “Today is Sunday and tomorrow is a holiday, so did you forget to go on a trip today?”
“Oh really? “Why can’t I remember a thing?”
“What do you know when you live like a bear? I’m glad the university chose you! Thank you! “Just eat quickly and pack your bags!”
We ate as fast as we could while continuing our frantic conversation. Today is a trip. No matter how lazy I lived after the college entrance exam, why didn’t I know until the day of my family trip? I did a little reflection on myself. By the way, what is my little brother eating now?
“Hee-gang? What is that…? Are you eating it right?
“what? “Silkworms are a health food these days, so my mom always puts them in rice. What kind of nonsense is this?”
Silkworm rice. Now that I think about it, isn’t that a popular wellness food these days? I forgot again. When I thought about it, I saw fresh silkworm larvae wriggling in my rice. But, for some reason, I have no appetite.
“mom! “I’m going to go pack my bags now.”
“Aren’t you eating? “How old are you and are you a picky eater again?”
“No, it’s not that I’m a picky eater. I haven’t packed any luggage, so I have a lot to pack.”
“Oh, by the way, I told you to take care of it in advance since last night… Go and take care of it!”
I headed to my room to pack my luggage, but for a moment I was embarrassed again. ‘Where’ are we going? It’s really surprising that I don’t remember anything. Did I get dementia at the age of 20? I came back to the living room with an absurd feeling, and before I knew it, my father, who had finished eating, was sitting on the sofa and chewing something that was wriggling. maggot. I guess that was also a healthy food these days?
“dad! “Where are you planning to travel today?”
“Mom has been yelling since morning, and there was a reason. “She doesn’t know anything!”
“Oh, where are you? My real dad always nags me like I’m breathing.”
“I’m going to go to the arboretum in the morning and take a forest bath, eat a nearby roast duck for lunch, and go to a resort in the evening. Let’s go skiing tomorrow morning… Take care of your luggage. “It’s cold these days.”
“yes.”
I went to my room and started packing my things. As she worked hard to put on simple sportswear and underwear for walking in the arboretum, and a duck down parka for the ski resort, 30 minutes had already passed by. When she came out of the room to take a breather, her younger brother handed her a pair of scissors the size of her forearm.
“What is this?”
“What are you going to do if you go to the arboretum and don’t have scissors? “Did you forget again?”
Ah, I forgot. Scissors are essential in the arboretum.
Right after I packed my bags and left, I arrived at the arboretum. I remember when I was young, I think the car ride took about 3 hours. As soon as you open the door, you arrive at the arboretum in 3 seconds? It seems like the highways have gotten really fast these days.
When we arrived at the arboretum, there was an exciting atmosphere. Rich fields, beautiful flowers. The sound of birds chirping. I saw many families walking around and having fun.
scissors. That’s right, scissors. People happily picked up scissors and started cutting up plants.
I forgot again. Isn’t the arboretum originally a place to enjoy forest bathing and cutting plants? Why raise livestock? To eat. People are raised to ‘consume’ everything. Of course, the reason we grow plants is to cut them.
For the first time in a while, I returned to my childhood innocence and cut and cut and cut at random with scissors. Across the street, I saw Heegang giggling and tearing up the lilies of the valley. A peaceful time. How great it would be if these happy moments continued for a long time.
Across the street, I see my mother pulling earthworms out of the ground. I thought it was a really important policy, so I approached him and said something.
“mom! You’re not even a beggar, so why do you pick things up from the dirt? “You can really just go to the supermarket and buy it.”
“I know. When I see you in situations like this, you are the main tactic. “I already have two bags of earthworms at home that I bought at the supermarket. Why are you picking them all up?”
“Ehyo… you’re talking like you’re spitting out the beetle you’re chewing. And, this is all because you don’t take care of your house, so you’re saying these pathetic things. “If you collect these things little by little, you can buy only 2 bags out of 3 bags at the supermarket, and if the money you save by saving one bag like that accumulates over 10 years…”
“Aaaah~ Mom started preaching again. This is all because of my brother. “Just come here and chop wood with me.”
It is my mistake. I ended up nagging my mom with pointless nonsense!
A pleasant morning passed, running away and chopping wood with my brother.
As time passed, we went to a nearby famous duck meat restaurant for lunch. What’s amazing this time is that the family gets together and goes to have lunch together! The moment I did that, I arrived at the duck meat restaurant in 3 seconds. Isn’t the world so much better these days?
When I entered the duck meat restaurant, I could smell the fragrant blood and hear the screams of ducks in the atmospheric atmosphere. You can see fur flying everywhere. Really, it has a charming atmosphere. Because the atmosphere here is so nice, my family always visits this store once or twice a year.
As we sat down at the table, the staff brought us two live ducks, as always. For a moment, I feel like flinching. Is duck meat actually eaten alive?
“Hee-gang? Doesn’t this… feel like it’s too unkempt? “This isn’t duck meat, it just looks like duck.”
“Stop acting so ignorant. Who eats roasted duck with just the meat these days? “The trend is to eat duck fresh.”
Ah, I said something ignorant again. Today, I get a lot of nagging from my family. The world has developed a lot in the short time I spent lounging around after the college entrance exam.
But how do you eat a live duck? I was worried that if I asked this question again, I would be called ignorant, so I just looked around. A happy-looking couple was seen holding the duck’s legs and chewing its head first. Isn’t it a bit dangerous to eat like that? A duck’s bill is trying to capture a woman’s mouth?
As I watched in confusion, my father chimed in.
“Chewing on the head first like that is dangerous and unsightly. Well, kids these days… well, that’s what they play at that age.”
“Were you even decent when you were a bachelor?”
“Of course, when I was a bachelor, I was a very hot guy. “I just grabbed Mrs. Yumi’s arm and said,”
“Oh my! “There’s nothing you can’t say in front of real kids!”
“Hahahaha, is there any sound that can’t be heard? The kids are all grown up. Anyway, Gain. The best way to eat a duck is to stab its neck with a fork and suck the blood first. “These days, all celebrities on TV eat like this.”
For some reason, I didn’t really want to eat lunch, so I just had a snowball fight with the duck and then got up. Should I say I’m glad? Everyone was busy struggling with the duck, so no one said anything to me.
After lunch, I stood up. She said she would play freely at the resort until evening and then eat a buffet meal in the evening. And, tomorrow was the skiing I was looking forward to.
Suddenly, I felt like I was forgetting something. Somewhere – I felt something blurry flickering in my vision. It won’t be a big deal. Looks like he was a little tired.
