Room 9799

Winter 1980

city ​​of edinburgh Scotland

The cold night air in Edinburgh was blanketed in thick, white snow. Contrast this with the dim lights that line the streets. People in the city kept themselves at home. And in bad weather, some people have to carry large suitcases to walk to the dormitories at the University of Edinburgh.

A sharp-faced Japanese woman chooses to walk to capture the beauty of her dream city as much as possible. First, you must focus on studying. and continue to follow her dreams A small black film camera was used by its owner to capture beautiful images. Soon a young Japanese woman arrived at the university dormitory.

English was spat out at the dormitory administrator by Japanese people. This dormitory is divided into genders like other dormitories.

"Hello, I'm here to ask for the key to room 9799. Nice to meet you. My name is Meow Imina. I'm from Japan, please introduce yourself." The Japanese girl introduced herself with a bright face before bowing her head to the dormitory administrator. She is a large woman who looks quite scary from the outside but at the same time looks kind..

“Room 9799 doesn't have many students coming in. Anyway, I'll clean it up myself first."

"Eh! So you don't have a roommate? Mina asked curiously. She only hoped that there would be a friend in the room with her.

"I think it's good if I don't have it. Use the room alone, don't have to share with anyone."

"But I..."

“I think you can go up to your room now. It's about to snow and I'm going to get sick." The woman in charge of the dormitory dismissed Mina's question. and handed her the keys

The Japanese woman accepted the key before picking up a large suitcase and swinging it down the dormitory corridor. Because of the weight of the bag, she used desperation to gradually Push it up the steps of the stairs. This university does not have an elevator for the reason that they want students to exercise.. But being nine stories high made Mina feel tired even without carrying a large bag.

"paternal grandmother! It's time." Mina used all her strength to throw her bag towards the front of the room. And unbelievably, it went all the way to the front of her room..

"Eh! Our strength is still good.” But when she used her eyes to measure the distance, the girl was still quite surprised. It's like someone came to help her like that..

A thin hand picked up a beautiful key and unlocked the room. But it seems that the key and the door handle don't go well together. Mina took a moment to unlock the door, her hand twisting the key and doorknob back and forth several times. "Oh! Please open it up, it's already going to get worse." I didn't even have time to finish my sentence.

The door that was so difficult to open opened easily.

Eia..

The sound of the door closing slowly Opening it, the musty smell and dust in the room bounced back in her face, causing her to sneeze. "Huh...Hutchhi." A thin hand raised one hand to cover his mouth. before using his other hand to reach in and turn on the light switch to create brightness The sight in front of her made the Japanese woman unable to believe her eyes.

When the dormitory keeper told her that no one had been in this room for a long time. If you cut out the musty smell and a little dust, this room looks quite clean. Some things that people used to live in this room And without taking it out, it was placed in an orderly manner. Mina picked up her suitcase and walked into the room.

Don't forget to close the door and lock it for safety. Mina didn't have long to explore the room before laying down on the soft bed. and fell asleep

3 AM

knock knock

A knock at the door woke Mina up in the middle of the night. She went to open the door in the dark but found no one...Mina looked for the source of the voice of the person who had woken her up in the middle of the night, hoping it was her roommate. But then...hey! Mina's startled cry sounded as she closed the door.

and turned around to see a small woman in a surgical gown covered in blood stains. Mina couldn't see the picture clearly because of the darkness so she decided to reach out and turn on the light next to the bathroom, but instead she turned on the bathroom light, making the face of the person in front of her a little clearer.

"Wh..wha...you're my roommate?" Mina bravely decided to ask the young woman in front of her, but she didn't get any answer, only a neutral expression.

“Then you'd better take a shower first. It's all over the blood."

The young woman didn't answer, just walked away into the bathroom. The rest of the night, Mina fell asleep and didn't pay much attention to her new friend. And it's been that way for a long time. For a long time, more than nine months had passed since she lived with her roommate, whom she only saw at sunset. Her female roommate's name is Chaeyoung.

Chaeyoung always helps Mina with everything, causing Mina to pass her medical exam for accident victims. From a person who was once most afraid of blood and wounds, he became stronger. good feelings Mina's feelings for Chaeyoung began to increase more and more. Even though the people around her looked at her like she was crazy. But she never paid attention to those words anyway.

Just studying gives me a headache and I'm about to die. What's the matter with her roommate being a ghost? more

How can Chaeyoung be a ghost? It's really crazy.

Ring, ring, ring...

The sound of a ring falling to the floor Mina dropped the ring her father gave her before sending her to study here on the floor. and rolled under the bed "How the hell am I going to keep this?" There was just enough space between the bottom of the bed and the floor for Mina's arms to reach through. She searched for her ring for a while before finding a piece of paper and pulling it out.

Good thing it came out right with her ring. "Hmm...this newspaper is from two years ago." I wanted to know what events had happened here two years ago. Mina held the newspaper before walking over and sitting on the sofa. His eyes scanned the news on the front page of the newspaper with interest. before stopping at a news headline

--- [Image of a student whose face was blurred out in a surgical gown and lying in a pool of blood on the bed] A Korean student thought short and cut his wrist to take his own life, tragically dying in a luxury dormitory in the heart of Edinburgh. "Son Chae-young," a young woman from the Faculty of Medicine. A first-year student at the University of Edinburgh took her own life by cutting her own wrist in the ninth floor of the girls' dormitory, Room 9799.

It is thought that the cause was due to stress over studies and family, as well as a congenital disease that she herself had never told anyone about before---

No, Chaeyoung...

“What are you reading? The voice of a girl that Mina was familiar with sounded not too far away. She quickly put the newspaper down on the sofa and covered it with a thick pillow.

“Uh...it's...nothing. I'm just looking for something to read. When you come back, go take a fresh shower."

"Yes, if you're sleepy then you can go to bed first."

"..." Mina nodded instead of answering.

Mina's brain went white when he read that short message. Every feeling Mina had for Chaeyoung was so good that he didn't want to lose it. Many times he himself thought that Chaeyoung was not a person. But he himself chose to reject this crazy idea. They go out of my brain. Mina can accept that from the first day she met Chaeyoung.

He himself was hypnotized. Even in surgery, the hand that trembled while holding the knife always had a warm hand that helped him through everything. In fact, Mina herself could not accept the truth. Since he was already in love with Chaeyoung

Chaeyoung, I'm sorry. But I need to know if it's really her in the news or not...

Mina took the opportunity while Chaeyoung was walking past the large mirror next to the closet. Mina's eyes were fixed on the mirror. Hoping that the person you love will also be reflected in the mirror. But it was empty... Chaeyoung had no reflection in the mirror. It means she doesn't have a body. And what exists now is just a spirit...

Tears began to flow down her beautiful cheeks as her lover came to sit beside her. and always give a sincere smile back And it does that every night. But tonight, Chaeyoung's body started to feel strange. She wasn't in her pajamas, but in a surgical gown that was covered in blood stains. What Mina sees may change because she knows the truth.

“Chaeyoung...is there something you want to tell me?” Mina decided to ask the person beside her who was resting his head on her shoulder. No matter how scary the picture in front of you is. But she also doesn't want to lose the person she loves.

"Tonight...may be the last night we'll see each other."

"Where are you going? "

"I have my own world. A world you shouldn't know."

"Are you okay? Who has a friend who's a ghost like me? "

"You know..."

“Yes, I know myself. That's why I have to go."

“Chaeyoung, do you know that whether you are a ghost or something else? You are still important to me. Really thank you for everything.”

“Thank you, too, for never hating me. I have to go now. The picture you see of me now isn't beautiful anymore. Goodbye, Mina."

Chaeyoung, wait a minute. Can't I go, Chaeyoung? I love you...

Mina! We live in different worlds, but we can't love each other...let me go my way...

Oh no, Chaeyoung, please don't leave me...

8 AM

Knock knock knock

A knock at the door woke Mina up from her dream. Some of her body jumped up in shock as she searched for the figure of the lover who had come to say goodbye to her in the dream. Tears still stained her beautiful face. and plaid nightshirts The two feet stepped off the bed with difficulty. When last night's dream made her almost go crazy.

No matter how much I beg and plead, her lover will never come back. A hand picked up a picture of the girl he loved. Chaeyoung's smiling face made Mina unable to stop the tears from falling. For nearly a year, Chaeyoung had been helping her with everything. But she herself couldn't return anything in return. Really can't.

It is true that we live in different worlds. I don't know who she was before. But why do I love you this much, Zone Chaeyoung? But can I ask you to come back to me? No matter how she comes As scary as she was, she was full of blood walking headless towards me. I will never let you go again...

"Chaeyoung...I love you."

"I love you too." A soft voice whispered in Mina's ear.

"I want to go live in your world..."

Knock knock knock knock knock knock!

There was a knock at the door again and it seemed like the people outside were starting to get annoyed that no matter how much they knocked, the people inside the room refused to come out and open it. Or that there would be no one there...people outside were starting to get annoyed that the problem roommate wouldn't open the door for her. She decided to go down and ask the dormitory staff for a spare key.

"Sister, I mean...I'd like to ask for the spare key for room 9799, please. No matter how much I knock, it won't open."

"Hmm..na...na...nu...ya...ya...are you in this room?" "

"Yes, why? What's in this room?" "

"Ah..Oh, there's nothing. Go, go, hurry." The new dormitory keeper handed the key to the petite woman.

Along the walkway from under the dormitory to in front of the stairs leading up to the dormitory, she received strange looks. from students Plus they gossip and gossip about what they don't know. But for a confident person like you, this is all. It wasn't too heavy for her at all. It's also good that there are people talking about it, whether it's good or bad, we'll talk about it later.

Two feet walked up the stairs tiredly. Her room was on the 9th floor. In fact, this dorm only had a 9th floor. A lot of things were piled up in front of Room 9799, causing quite a bit of trouble.

"Sigh...this time, I don't have to ask you to open it. You think that if you look good, you'll be arrogant like this, right? You have to meet a tiger like me to be suitable."

It's not yet time to start a conversation with a shy senior. Her eyes widened as she saw her senior falling to the ground below.

"Hey bro! Don't jump." The little one rushed up and hugged the older man from behind tightly. Before the bodies of both of them fell on top of each other on the balcony of the room. Their faces were so close that they could feel their breaths coming in short gasps of shock from the events that had happened earlier.

"Chaeyoung..."

"Do you know my name? "

“Chaeyoung, you really are Chaeyoung, you have come back to me.” Mina hugged the person in front of her tightly.

"Chaeyoung, don't leave me again."

"elder sibling! Let me go now, you pervert. Even though my name is Chaeyoung...but I'm not the person you know." The small figure tried to use his hands to push the other person's body away. A hand struck the older man's back nonchalantly. But the older man refused to let her go. He even hugged her tighter than before.

"Brother...please. I'm your younger sibling and your roommate. I don't know if my face looks like the one you love or something. But I'm Son Chaeyoung. And I apologize to you.” Chaeyoung used all her strength to slam her fist into the older man's face, causing him to instantly faint.

3 years have passed

Throughout the three years that the couple lived together, Both of them live like seniors and juniors, without any issues. The two always trusted each other. And it continued like that until Mina's graduation day. He had to move back to Japan immediately upon graduation as per the university's orders. Mina has to become a medical assistant in Saitama City.

Only Chaeyoung, the younger version, is left, with Mina keeping an eye on him. The smile on the girl's face couldn't cover up the feelings inside. When the other party was packing his things into a large suitcase The little girl couldn't understand the feelings that this was causing her. She could only sit and look at the picture in front of her, the things that used to be cluttered up seemed more organized.

But at the same time it looked empty. So empty that she almost couldn't believe it. It's not so strange that the two of them quickly became close and understood each other because they were both foreigners, even though one of them was from Japan. Another person is from Korea. But both have the same goal..

Silence permeated every molecule of the room. A room that is like a memory in every way Things that happen whether happy or sad laugh or cry Both of them never thought of leaving either one of them alone.

“Chaeyoung...is something wrong? You've been sitting staring at me for a long time." Mina was busy packing things into a bag that seemed to be too much. But he also saw the eyes of his younger sibling looking at him with calm, unpredictable eyes.

“No..no. I was just thinking about things.” Chaeyoung tried to brush off his feelings of being weak and look as normal as possible. But her heart seemed too weak. She could no longer control her feelings and her body. She got up from the large sofa and hugged Mina, who was arranging textbooks for the class so that Chaeyoung could easily read them.

The little girl's sobs gradually got louder. She let all her feelings flow with the tears that were flowing down her face.

“Uncle Mina, I don't know how I can survive without you by my side. I really don't know.”

“Chaeyoung...do you know when I first met you? She scolded me like a tiger."

"Being a tiger, you must not be weak for anyone to see, do you understand? Because tigers are great hunters."

“Huh...Uncle Mina. Can you promise me that you will come back to me?”

“Ah, I promise on Penguin's honor. I'll definitely come back to this petulant little tiger."

"Really, I'll wait for you."

Every month, Chaeyoung sends letters written in Japanese that she intends to be easy for the recipient to read. Along with the scribbled art, it makes a boring letter look more interesting. She only hoped that the older one would read it, even though she never received a reply from Mina.

1 year has passed

Winter 1984

city ​​of edinburgh Scotland

---Letter number 12---

To Mina, the senior I respect. If you had read this letter at that time, I would probably have been taking my final exam. It's very cold here but don't worry because I will be the strongest tiger. Hmmmm, actually I would like to get a letter from you. But I'm probably busy. And now I have nothing to write.

I think the letter I wrote to you from the first month we separated. I could probably make it into a book. So this time, I'll draw a picture instead. (Drawing: a big penguin hugging a little tiger in the thick snow)

Chaeyoung's graduation day

Students are socializing at their graduation day. And of course, when he graduated and moved out of the dormitory and returned to his hometown, Tiger still waited for his seniors with hope. Even though it looked a bit breezy, my hand was thin and I picked up some small items and put them in my suitcase. But his eyes stumbled upon a newspaper hidden under a pillow on the sofa.

She went to pick it up to put it away but couldn't help but pick it up and read it. But before he could read, a knock sounded at the door. causing her to throw the newspaper into the trash can

knock knock

Chaeyoung immediately walked towards the door of the room. And she didn't wait until she walked out the door before meeting the person she had missed for a long time.

"Uncle Mina," Chaeyoung ran up and hugged Mina tightly. “It really is you. You really came back to me. Thank you for not forgetting me."

“Oh, I also left you alone for a year. Are you lonely when you can't see me?"

"I'm not lonely."

"Because I have someone I feel good about."

"Really..."

“It's true. When you weren't here, I talked to this guy every night. Do you want to know who it is? "

"Don't you want to know?"

"No, I have to know." The small figure bent down to find something in the bedside drawer. It was a picture she had taken of Mina while she was sleeping with her head resting on her shoulder.

Mina...I have something to tell you...I love you.

I love you, Chaeyoung.

Sister Mina...Chaeng has something else to tell you.

While I was operating on a corpse in the operating room, my hands were shaking a lot and I felt like I was fainting. But suddenly, it was as if someone was holding my hand and helping me throughout. But I won't believe it...

Believe it, and I also believe that someone is taking care of you for me. When I'm away

What strange thing did you say? But never mind, we'd better go home.

Wait a moment, Chaeyoung... Mina gently pressed her lips to the small figure's. The small body accepted the touch willingly.

"Nothing's gonna change destiny

Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly"

“Nothing can change fate.

No matter what happens Believe me, it will turn out well.”
