Intro
After the entrance ceremony ended, the freshmen headed to their respective department welcoming party locations.
The Department of Ghost Stories was using an annex building located at the innermost part of the school.
An old brick building.
Worn-out windows.
Faint lighting.
The freshmen gathered in front of the building were all looking at the entrance with nervous faces.
Meanwhile, Yoo Chaerin slowly looked up at the building with her hands clasped behind her back. Her eyes, sparkling with curiosity, busy scanned here and there.
On the other hand, Oh Sea looked around while clutching her bag straps tightly to her chest. She had an expression like something scary might jump out at any moment.
It's better than I thought.
Yoo Chaerin slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
Oh Sea looked at the dark windows of the annex and shrank back slightly.
At that moment, the door to the annex opened and a senior appeared.
The freshmen began to move while glancing at each other, and Yoo Chaerin strode inside as if she had been waiting.
Oh Sea stopped in front of the door for a moment and then hurriedly followed after her.
Upon entering the auditorium, several current students were already seated.
Rather than looking for an empty seat, Yoo Chaerin looked around the auditorium first.
One person. And another one.
Her gaze, moving as if searching for something, stopped at a certain point.
A senior with silver hair tinged with red was laughing among the people.
Yoo Chaerin's eyes sparkled noticeably.
She immediately grabbed the arm of Oh Sea, who was sitting next to her, and pulled her closer.
Hey.
Oh Sea turned her head, not knowing why. Yoo Chaerin pointed in one direction without saying a word.
Following that direction, Oh Sea's eyes widened slightly.
