Before I could even approach the door to the clubroom and open it, it opened up from outside with a bang as someone entered in a hurry.
"Joon!"
At the sudden light that poured inside from the hallway, both Jinhee and I couldn't help but frown. We had been inside the dark clubroom for a long time so the sudden light hurt our eyes.
Sunah quickly ran over with worried eyes and scanned me from top to bottom before asking.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm not hurt."
"Thank goodness."
The rest of the club members, who were told to wait outside, also rushed in.
"It's so dark here, really."
Teacher Hwaeun also entered the clubroom and switched on the light.
"Prez, are you okay?"
"Uh, uh, I'm okay."
As everyone only focused on my well-being, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed. I coughed, trying to hide the embarrassment and direct their eyes away from me.
"Uh, um. Actually, Jinhee was the one who defeated the ghosts. From the beginning to the end, she did all the work. So don't only focus on me."
At those words, everyone's gaze slowly turned to Jinhee.
However, since everyone didn't have a good impression of Jinhee, not to mention their interactions were also minimal and more awkward than newly made friends, they all hesitated to open their mouths.
"Thank you for working hard, Jinhee."
Hayoon was the first one to express her gratitude to Jinhee.
Then, surprisingly, Dukhun approached her hesitantly as he tried to let out some encouraging words.
"Oh, I'm glad you're not hurt…"
However, Jinhee snorted and handed him the baseball bat.
"It seems Dukhun's courage has increased a lot. He has the guts to worry about his Noona now."
"Ku, so... "
With that, Jinhee coolly turned around, approached the sofa before lying down to rest.
I coughed once again to dissipate the awkward moment that flowed after she left before asking Gyeongwon.
"So, did you notice anything suspicious from outside? We had been making a lot of mess inside."
"That…"
Raising his glasses, Gyeongwon made a puzzled expression as he said.
"The door… it suddenly disappeared."
Just as I expected.
Before long, I gathered all my members in the middle of the clubroom that had been turned into a mess from upside down, and listened to Gyeongwon's brief explanation of the situation.
"Not long after we left the clubroom, the door suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"Disappeared completely?"
"Yeah. No trace at all. Only the smooth cement wall that contained the door remained. As soon as it disappeared, Sunah desperately began knocking on the wall, did you hear it?"
We probably just started playing the Corner Game with the dolls when the door disappeared.
"… No. We didn't hear any sound from outside."
"Since there was nothing we could do, we had no choice but to wait outside. Just waiting for about 20 minutes, the door suddenly appeared again and Sunah rushed in."
"....So that's what had happened."
