My Ancestor is Watching Me! — Chapter 28

DAHAM.

AH.

YOU'RE HERE?

SI-AH.

IT'S BOILING HOT OUT. WHY ARE YOU STILL WEARING A HOODIE?

...NO REASON?

ANYWAY, WHY DID YOU ASK TO MEET UP?

I ALREADY SENT OVER ALL THE STUDY MATERIALS.

WELL,

IT'S NOT LIKE WE NEED AN EXCUSE JUST TO SEE EACH OTHER,

RIGHT?

...I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

Giving it her all

SERIOUSLY, HE DOESN'T RESPOND TO MY FLIRTING AT ALL.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH EFFORT I PUT INTO HIM, NOTHING EVER GETS THROUGH...

...YET WHENEVER HE LOOKS AT HER, HE GETS THAT STRANGE LOOK IN HIS EYES.

...IT'S SO ANNOYING.

WHAT DOES SHE HAVE THAT I DON'T...?

...I THINK I GET WHY YOU LIKE HER.

...WHAT?

...FLUSTERED, ARE WE?

WAIT, DON'T TELL ME HE ACTUALLY CONFESSED TO HER?

IT'S DA-WON, RIGHT?

THE ONE YOU LIKE.

...IS IT REALLY THAT OBVIOUS?

I TRIED MY BEST TO HIDE IT... BUT IF EVEN YOU NOTICED...

AT LEAST DENY IT...

YEAH, IT'S TOTALLY OBVIOUS.

GETTING THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN ACTUALLY MAKES ME FEEL BETTER, TO BE HONEST.

BESIDES, DA-WON'S SAJU IS A MUCH BETTER MATCH WITH YOURS THAN MINE IS.

DA-WON'S SAJU? HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW HER BIRTHDAY?

IT POPPED UP ON KAKAOTALK.

YOU'RE PRETTY CREEPY YOURSELF, YOU KNOW...

DO YOU REALLY THINK ANYONE IN AN OCCULT CLUB IS SANE?

AND YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT DA-WON...

*SHE HAS FOUR GHOST GATES AND EVEN THE HEAVEN'S GATE STAR.

* SAJU TERMS. GWIMUN (GHOST GATE): A NEGATIVE INFLUENCE MEANING “THE GATE WHERE GHOSTS ENTER AND LEAVE.” IT SIGNIFIES EXTREME SENSITIVITY AND STRONG SPIRITUAL ENERGY. CHEONMUNSEONG (HEAVEN’S GATE STAR): “THE GATE LEADING TO HEAVEN,” REPRESENTING SHARP SPIRITUAL INTUITION.

IT LOOKED LIKE SPIRITS WOULD BE WALKING IN AND OUT OF HER CONSTANTLY.

I ALREADY KNEW YOU HAD A THING FOR CRAZY GIRLS,

BUT ONCE I LOOKED INTO HER SAJU... SHE'S ON A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

MY SAJU IS JUST AS CRAZY AS HERS, YOU KNOW.

...WHAT?

JUST SAYING~

LOOK MY WAY ONCE IN A WHILE, TOO~

TOTAL PSYCHO...

UAAAGH...

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL...

I JUST WANT TO DISAPPEAR...

WE EVEN HAVE A CLUB MEETING TODAY...

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LOOK HIM IN THE FACE?

BUT WAIT...

WHY SHOULD I BE THE ONE CRYING?

HE'S THE ONE WHO LED ME ON!

HE KISSED ME LIKE HE MEANT IT! HE EVEN CONFESSED TO ME!

"I CAN'T DATE YOU..."

WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THAT?!

SOUNDS LIKE...

...YEAH, RIGHT?

IT REALLY DOES SOUND LIKE HE LED YOU ON...

FORGET ABOUT HIM~ GUYS ARE A DIME A DOZEN.

YEAH. WELL... MAYBE NOT GUYS WHO LOOK LIKE DAHAM.

ANYWAY, YOU CAN ALWAYS MEET ANOTHER GREAT GUY~

EXACTLY. YOU'VE GOT PLENTY OF TIME~ TIME IS THE ONE THING WE HAVE.

YOU GUYS DON'T UNDERSTAND...

I DON'T HAVE TIME.

THE CHILD SPIRIT COULD DRAG ME OFF TO RECEIVE THE SPIRITS AS SOON AS TOMORROW...!

I CAN'T BE DRAGGED OFF WITHOUT EVEN GETTING TO DATE SOMEONE...!

WE SHOULD GET GOING SOON.

OH, FOR THE CLUB FESTIVAL MEETING?

...WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, DA-WON?

ARE YOU UP FOR GOING?

I'LL HEAD OVER AFTER I SIT BY MYSELF FOR A BIT...

...YEAH. THAT'S PROBABLY FOR THE BEST.

HAUNTED HOUSE?

School Festival

☆Haunted House☆ Meeting

ISN'T THAT A BIT CLICHÉ?

AND WHEN ARE WE SUPPOSED TO MAKE ALL THAT?

WHY DON'T WE JUST DO OUR USUAL TAROT BOOTH?

AH-AH, NO COMPLAINING. EVERYONE GETS THEIR SAJU AND TAROT READ BY AI THESE DAYS.

WHICH IS WHY I CAME UP WITH THIS, AN IN-PERSON EXPERIENCE THAT AI CAN NEVER REPLACE!

THAT'S RIGHT, A HAUNTED HOUSE THAT STIMULATES ALL FIVE SENSES!!

SOON-AE.

WHERE'S DA-WON...?

...ASK HER YOURSELF.

I GUESS DA-WON TOLD HER...

ALL RIGHT, EYES UP FRONT.

I DID ALL THE PLANNING,

AND SI-AH PUT TOGETHER ALL THE DRAFT DESIGNS FOR THE HAUNTED HOUSE,

SO ALL YOU GUYS HAVE TO DO IS WHAT YOU'RE TOLD~

SI-AH, IS IT ALL HOOKED UP?

YEP! GO AHEAD AND TURN ON THE SCREEN~

WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN...?!

YOU PROMISED ME!

...? WHAT IS THIS?

ISN'T THAT DA-WON?

YOU SAID YOU'D GIVE ME MY FREEDOM UNTIL I GRADUATE!

WHAT IS SHE DOING...?

WHAT IS SHE HOLDING, AND WHY IS SHE TALKING TO THIN AIR?

...HOW DID SHE GET THAT...?

I DON'T WANT TO RECEIVE THE SPIRITS RIGHT NOW!!

RECEIVE THE SPIRITS...?

YOO SI-AH...

HAS SHE COMPLETELY LOST HER MIND...?

DA-WON...?
