- ROOM 914 -
Saturday, 5:11 p.m.
(Jin Part's)
"Today there will be friends coming to the room. You mustn't do anything strange, do you understand?"
"Yes sir," the ghost of the old room owner agreed.
It's been more than three months since I moved into a dorm near the university. Beautiful room, reasonable price. But it's like a dormitory near a university. The price must be suitable for university students. But who knows that good dormitories Such a cheap price doesn't come with anything strange, such as the ghost of the previous owner of the room...
Who can't remember anything I only knew that I was dead. and cannot be born...
"Okay, then I'll go buy some stuff first."
"Do you want me to be your friend?"
"nevermind Go to the super near here. I'll leave you to wash the dishes."
"Alright."
I didn't answer, just nodded lightly. I am a person with a sixth sense. That is, I can see spirits. I've been like this since childhood. Only family members know. So it was not difficult for me to be able to see the old room owner in person like this. It's not that we want to see it. But it depends on the spirit itself whether it wants us to see it or not.
There was nothing that could tell who the previous owner of this room was. I think the relatives of the previous owner of the room must have come to take out all the things in the room. Otherwise, the aunt in charge of the dormitory wouldn't dare rent it out to anyone. So why is it strange? I asked to reduce the rent a little bit and I agreed.
I didn't wait long for the elevator. The elevator stopped on the fifth floor. which is the floor where I live I entered the elevator with no one else riding. But why does it feel like there's someone in the elevator...
“I already told you, Mr. Bum. that I will go alone So you don't listen to your roommate anymore?”
It's true that the previous owner of the room doesn't remember anything at all. So I took it upon myself to give him a name. The previous owner of the room didn't seem to mind. I want you to come and call me, whatever it is. And the two of us made an agreement to be roommates. The person who pays the room rent is me. But he has to clean the room. In exchange for him having to live in this room until he is reborn.
"How did you know I was following you? Haha."
"It's not funny. Have you finished washing the dishes?"
"Not yet, hehe."
I turned to look at the smiling face. I really don't understand why they would follow along.
"Go back to your room."
"but.."
"If you don't come back, I won't talk to you."
"Okay, I give in. I'll go back."
Saturday, 7:49 p.m.
There was a loud knocking sound in the room several times. There's no doubt about who's here at a time like this. My close friend Lin Ploy Jay, but this time we didn't hang out normally. Because there was another member added as well.
nine..
This small gathering was possible. Because last Tuesday there was a group presentation. But the subject teacher asked them to form groups of five people. There are four close friends in the group. I need to find one more. At that time Jay was very close to Kao. because they are friends in the same club Therefore invited to join the presentation group as well.
Presentations will be normal and normal. Once the presentation was finished, they dispersed. But the teacher of this subject is a difficult person to give marks. If there was even a single mistake, the whole thing had to be fixed. The five of us worked day and night for almost two weeks. At that time, Jay said, If this presentation passes He will be the host of the celebration.
Finally the presentation day has arrived. Our group passed. In addition, I received many compliments from teachers.
"Oh! Damn Djinn, I said that if I came to entertain you in your room Probably not past soft drinks."
"Why drink alcohol? It's bad for your health. Besides, you all drive. We can't go back now."
"If I can't take it, I'll sleep in your room. What's going to be difficult? Haha."
Lin's voice sounded. As I took out colorful soft drinks and fruit juice from the refrigerator and handed them to Ploy. Along with walking aside to pick up some snacks. I am a person who does not drink alcoholic beverages. So it's no surprise that this gathering will feature only alcohol-free items.
“Jay, give me the money. I'll go down and buy some liquor."
Lin said, walking over to Jay who was sitting on the sofa. Jake took out a five hundred dollar bill from his wallet and handed it to Lin. while holding a sandwich in his hand
"Then I'll go down as a friend. What did you guys add?”
Ploy, another close friend in the group, spoke up. Then turned to ask me and Jay, my three closest friends, Jay Ploy Lin, who likes to party a lot. But no matter how crazy you are about partying Studying is still number one.
Lin and Ploy put on their shoes and prepared to go out to buy things. There was a knock at the door. Lin was the one who had already put on the shoes. Get up and walk to open the door.
"Why are you so late? Are you lost? I thought I had already sent the parcel to the group."
"I see, there's a traffic jam. Are we going back now?"
Waited less than an hour. Another member of the presentation group also arrived, Kao, Jay's club friend. Lin and Ploy turned around to allow Jay to easily walk over to find a seat in the room.
"No, Ploy and I are going down to buy liquor. That djinn's room has only things and no alcohol. I can't accept it."
"Do you want me to go down and be your friend?"
"No need, you just came. Do you want anything else?"
Kao shakes his head lightly. It is understood that nothing will be added. After that, Ploy and Lin left the room to go buy some things. Kao smiled and greeted me a little. Then turned to sit and talk with Jay about the club. Sometimes they turn to talk to me.
Saturday, 10:16 p.m.
(Bom Part's)
Time passed until late at night. After the women named Ploy and Lin returned from shopping at the supermarket below the dormitory. She then mixed liquor with soda. There were people named Jay and Kao who helped put ice in the glasses.
Let's admit it, I don't really like the guy named Kao. Because I saw that Jinn's eyes were strange. He doesn't look like the man named Jamie. I don't know if I felt it myself or not. I've seen three of Mr. Jinn's closest friends. Because he likes to lie down and play in the room. But with the man named Kao, I don't trust him. Where is it?
Mr. Jinn refused to accept the glass of liquor. But the person named Kao urged Mr. Jinn to drink it. Mr. Jinn accepted it.
"Djinn, I'm going back first."
A person named Jay supports a woman named Ploy in her distress. Then turn and tell the owner of the room. Mr. Jinn smiled and waved lightly at his friend. I saw Mr. Jinn's face turn red from the influence of the alcohol. It is a very nice picture to look at. I feel like Mr. Jinn looks incredibly sexy. How do you not look like yourself? The situation was like this because the person named Kao Kao seemed to be urging Mr. Jinn to drink a lot of alcohol.
After Mr. Jinn's two friends had already left the room. Mr. Jinn immediately fell asleep on the sofa. Right now, there was only a woman named Lin who seemed to be blurry-eyed, as if she couldn't sleep. And there was another man I didn't trust.
"Lin, are you okay?"
"Hee~~ Wai, Lao Wai, no maa~~ hee hee."
When the woman named Lin finished speaking, He immediately fell asleep on the table. The person named Kao saw this and took a pillow from the sofa and gave it to the woman named Lin to prop her head on. Arrange your posture so that you can lie comfortably on the floor.
Then he got up to find Mr. Jinn who was already asleep. He took a pillow from the sofa and gave it to Jinn to rest his head on. Then he sat and looked at Mr. Jinn's face for a long time. Until I felt very displeased. Then he said something.
“We don't know how it happened, Jinn. I realized that I had been secretly looking at Djinn since one year. Pretending to not care Pretend you don't want to be close. Actually, it's because we really like Jinn. At first we thought it was a friend feeling. But as time passed, we realized that it was love.
It's not love in a friend way. But it's love in a lover's way."
When I heard that, I felt annoyed. It's confusion in my mind. I kept asking myself what was wrong. Why do you feel like this? Until the answer can be found from the following sentence.
“We like Jinn. I really like it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man named Nine lowered his head closer to Mr. Jinn. That's right! Mr. Jinn's soft mouth was being kissed by a man named Kao. Don't wait to go anywhere. I managed to brush aside the glass that had the juice in it and it shattered. The man named Nine pulled away from Mr. Jinn's face in shock.
"Don't mess with Mr. Jinn!!"
After that, I made the lights in the room flicker on and off. The curtain on the balcony flew. Even though there is no wind..
When the man named Kao saw this, he probably knew that this was not normal. So he quickly picked up the car keys. and his own wallet immediately ran out of the room in fear
Three weeks have passed..
at university
(Jin Part's)
After the day of the celebration I never saw Kao again. Until a few days ago Kao called me and said something strange. For example, let me quickly move out of the dormitory. Or is there something strange in my room? I sat confused for a long time. So I asked the spirit of the old room owner. He is the person who should know best.
Finally got the meaning He heard Kao confess his love and kiss me. When I heard it, I was very shocked. But I didn't believe him much. Because I know that the old owner of the room didn't seem to like Kao very much. So we had a big quarrel. Up until now, neither of us had talked or seen each other in more than three weeks.
"So where are Jay and Ploy?"
“Oh, two of them are at Xerox for work. He'll probably come soon."
“Oh...do you remember the day we had a party last time? The ninth one, too."
"I remember. Why?"
“Is there any incident that you say is strange? When everyone has returned The only one left is staying in my room."
"Oh! I'm drunk, I don't remember anything."
When he finished speaking, he scooped the basil rice into his mouth. I have to find evidence to confirm whether what Mr. Bom said is true or not. Or is it just that Mr. Bom doesn't like Kao and therefore finds trouble with my friend?
"Damn Jinn!!"
"Huh, why are you yelling?"
"I remember now. About that night."
"Why do you say you're drunk and don't remember anything?"
"I just vaguely remember. Will you listen?"
"Listen."
After listening to the things that had been bothering me for three weeks, I became silent for a long time. Before I felt it again, Lin shook me.
“I was probably very drunk. Just don't think too much. I might be hallucinating myself."
"um"
"You're okay."
“Then let's go back first. Please tell Jay and Ploy as well."
"Okay, it's good to be back."
My ears were ringing now after knowing the truth from Lin's mouth. I can apologize to the old room owner a hundred or a thousand times in my heart. Because after that argument I never saw the old room owner again. He might be in the room. Only I don't see it. or may have already been born
Are you going to be reborn without saying goodbye, Mr. Bom?
I kept thinking until I arrived in front of the dormitory. He looked up and looked at the balcony of the room where he was staying for a while. Until the uncle guard who was in charge of the dormitory had to walk over and gently poke me on the upper arm. The djinn came to his senses.
I arrived in front of the room I was renting and took out the key in my backpack and unlocked the brown room door. Found only silence and the emptiness of the room I closed the door of the room Take off your shoes and put them in the shoe cabinet. He took his backpack and placed it on the table before disappearing into the kitchen.
to wash the dishes he ate last night But I was surprised. Because there wasn't a single dish in the sink.
"Khun Bum!"
I hurriedly walked out into the living room. Turn left and right to look for the person you want to meet. For three weeks, I admit that before this, I never wanted to meet the old room owner at all. Because when they met each other, they argued in vain. So it's better to choose not to find it.
"Khun Bom.. if you're still in this room I have something to tell you. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry that I kept berating you without listening. I use only emotions to talk to you. It's reasonable for you to be angry at me. But can you come out and see me? I really want to meet you.”
After speaking, I immediately cried. I wanted to see him, I wanted to understand each other.
(Bom Part's)
I stood and watched Mr. Jinn cry. Then wipe away your own tears I heard everything Mr. Jinn said. I would like to admit here that for three weeks I have always been in this room. I didn't run away anywhere. I only secretly feel sorry for Mr. Jinn.
“I apologize to you too. For trying to slander your friend."
Mr. Jinn stopped using his hands to wipe away his tears. and raised his head to look at my face Jinn's red eyes Jinn's tear stains I don't know. Why did he come to apologize to me like this?
"K.. Khun.. Khun Bom.. Huh. It's not your fault. It was my own fault for not listening to you, hehe.."
“Please stop crying. Water isn't good for you."
I walked closer to Mr. Jinn. Using both of my arms, I wrapped Mr. Jinn's body into mine. To comfort Mr. Jinn to stop sobbing. The muffled sound of apologizing continues in my embrace.
"I like you Jinn."
You can talk until you get it. Plus he's speaking in a situation where we've just reached an understanding. Damn Bom!
“What did Mr. Bum say just now? I can't quite hear it."
"Oh.. Uh.. I asked if Mr. Jinn was hungry."
"I'm hungry. Very hungry. I used up a lot of energy crying. Haha."
"I'd better go make something to eat."
Mr. Jinn pulled himself out of my embrace. Then turned to face the other direction. I walked out from there. in order to enter the kitchen area Before hearing about the dream Until I had to turn around quickly.
"I like it too."
"What do you think, Jinn?"
"I said I wanted to eat fried rice."
