Wonders Of the Unknown
Gyyeongi International School. A Highschool, reflection of top marks, high facilities, and great entertainment fields.
Scene 1: A dull lesson. Every student is zoning off in the class 203. Minji mumbled in a bored expression and said, "Teacher Wang is randomly throwing out lecture about 'Rational Algebraic Expressions' to us. Everybody hates these learning objective classes. Ughhh..."
Hea, one of her peers heard it and told chuckling, tapping her fingers on the bright bench she is sitting, "Yes, absolutely. We had been dozing off as soon as the class started, Minji. I swear I had a lot of expectations of having fun in this highschool. Yet, every time the Mathematics make it all shattered hopes. Oh" she uttered. "Anything you got to say, just spill it," Hwan said. "Yeah, well, I would say as a suggestion, it would be a fun experience to visit 'The House of Choi Champan,' the abandoned tourist space which allure many horror stories according to many visitors. Plus, remember how we are basically in a paranormal investigation club of school? We can't miss any extra marks," Hea said.
"Oooh, sounds nice to me, what you two think?" Minji told to Hwan and Hana.
They nodded. Meanwhile, the annoying teacher pet Jinho with that dramatic voice complained to Teacher Wang, "Sir! They are talking instead of focusing in class!" Minji just rolled her eyes off. Crossing her arms, she snapped, "Sir, what is the point of this class?" Teacher Wang finally looked back firmly from the white board. Keeping the marker in table with a small tap sound, he sighed, "Alright class. Class is dismissed. You may pack your bag for heading to cafeteria." Teacher Wang said as he left the class.
Scene 2: Every student began spacking their bag packs. Hwan and Minji had gone to the Senior sections' cafeteria soon before Hana and Hea finished packing their bags. Soon after, Hana and Hea came and saw Minji and Hwan sitting in a group bench with their food trays and already eating and chattering. Hana huffed, "How could you start the conversation without Hea and me, traitors?!" Minji and Hwan chuckled. Minji said with sarcasm, "Oh pardon us! Oh-our-friends-who-trusts-us! Hana got annoyed, "Right, sarcasm. The last thing you could thought of, Minji." Then Hwan said, "Fine no sarcasm now. But, you two shall take your foods first. We have an important topic to talk about."
Hana and Hea said, "Okay," before taking the food tray to take the cafeteria food. Hana took Kimchi, steamed tofu, scattered cabbage and ramen. Meanwhile, Hea took rice with Kimchi, bulgogi, steamed tofu and shrimp soup in her tray. They both walked back to the bench and joined Minji and Hwan in chattering about the museum. "According to many, the scientists had sensed the dread even before any visitors visited the museum." Minji said.
Finally after a great discussion, they set the date of visiting the museum. Hana said, "As for a calculated dates of our daily life busyness, class tests, pre-tests, school events, classes. In my opinion, we shall set the date in 5th October at 2:45 P.M. What do you three think?" "Good idea," said Hwan. "Yeah, then it is set," Minji said, and others nodded. "I hope this plan does not get ruined, eventually," Hea said. Others sighed and agreed.
Scene 3: Finally, in 5th August, Tuesday at 2:45 P.M, Minji and Hwan had already came before Hana and Hea, waiting for them with anticipation. When they were about to give up, at 3:30 P.M, they eventually arrived, panting. Minji groaned and said, "You two have any idea of the time now? We are leaving at 5 P.M and you two are already late by 1 hour and 15 minutes!" Hana and Hea apologized and explained the reason, "Mom suddenly started panicking, that is why.." "Fine.." They found it strange but did not ask much.
Scene 4:Then, Hea opened the cracked rusty door which echoed noises in the unstable door, already as dread. They felt shivers and ongoing unseen fear and discomfort as they entered. The wind send harsh against them, giving them goosebumps. They probably felt the presence of someone's than them. Eyes with the curiosity and grief, they were starting a journey of unknown. Will it be just.. a visit to a museum, or...?
They did not get to answer the question though. Because it definitely did spun in their heads, but, no one dared to answer it. Almost like a hidden magnate pulling them to the museum.
Minji snapped from the silence, "Uhm.. well, it is quite ancient.." An awkward pause. And then Minji handed them the maps. "It does not feel like standard for a museum.. it seems alive still." Hana murmured. Minji snickered, "Of course, it is scary for you." (Though Minji was Hea's friend, she was a foe of Hana.) Hana just stayed quiet in embarrassment. Feeling the tension, Hwan snapped, "You should have not acted much rude, Minji. Anyways.. let us explore this museum in pairs.."
Scene 5: Minji rolled her eyes but did not say anything. After a discussion, everyone decided, Minji and Hea is a pair. The other pair is Hana and Hwan. Following order, now, they started investigating the museum. They started observing the moldy fruits and flowers scattered around the courtyard of the museum everywhere. Meanwhile, Hana and Hwan entered the interior. The royal door's sound echoing through the abandon museum. People used to fight with swords, perhaps. They assumed the statement as there was notable swords kept preserved in the interior of the museum. And the worst thing? Fresh blood's smell near the preserved swords. "Eww..so much bad smell. Let us leave from the interior and investigate somewhere else, Hea," Minji asserted with disgust in her face. While Hea nodded. "You are right," Hea said.
After while, Hana in upstairs, were roaming around in a room. She lighted up the torch as the upstairs rooms were dark. Hwan was about to go find Hana, when Hana screamed. Her scream echoing in the remote abandon museum. No sooner had Hwan got startled, then he quickly ran toward the room and saw Hana crying. He got concerned and feared of her strange behavior. "Hana.. it is me. What is going on?"
Hwan asked feeling empathy as he experienced hallucinations once. Minji and Hea also came to the room after Hwan, concerned. Hea shook Hana's shoulder warmly, "Sis, look at me. Everything going on.. it is a hallucination! We are getting off these. We are not staying in the museum anymore.." Hana's breathing had quickened during the time she screamed. She sat on the ground, screaming in pain, "LET ME GOO!! I AM NOT THE VILLAIN!" "Villain? Hana, it is a hallucination, I swear!" Hea said, while Minji and Hwan just watched in dread. "Hana.. loose up.. take deep breaths.. Please listen to me.." Hea said. Hana started loosening up and took deep breaths. And soon she got calm. And got unconscious. They sighed in relief but also got concerned. After sitting for sometimes, beside her, they saw her wake up. "Are you okay? Let us leave," Minji said suddenly in a softened voice. All other members were confused but comply. They left the room one by one. But when Minji and Hana was about to leave, the door knob got locked. The members, meanwhile, had gone far into the basement because the main door got too rusty and tough to open.
"The door's knob is not working. We have to find another sort of plan to get out," Minji asserted to Hana. Hana got nervous and frightened, "What do you mean it is not opening? Come on we have to get out," Hana cried out. "Shh.. if we get tense, the situation would get worse.." Minji said strangely calm for anyone in that situation. "O-okay," Hana rasped out. Minji observed the room and found a rusty, broken and simple cabinet on left side of them. "Can you.. walk over to the cabinet for me?" "Y-yeah," she stammered out as she walk over to the cabinet.. "I guess this cabinet can be useful in such sort?" Minji asked out. Hana huffed annoyed, "We are in a serious moment and you are thinking of the cabinet as an escape. Well, I guess I can try to fit in it, or something?" Hana mocked out. Minji rolled her eyes, "Listen, Hana, I am the one who knows how to investigate, not like some newbie like you. Okay, we got no time to argue. Get in the cabinet," Minji said. "Why shall I listen, hmm?" Hana said with attitude. "Alright, I suppose, I shall go first," Minji uttered annoyed.
Scene 6: But, as soon she slipped on something while in the cabinet and started falling in a dark dense hole of the cabinet. Hana noticed and tried to grab her up back. But, they both fell in the mysterious hole. They started sliding through a cave. It felt endless. Head started aching and they got unconscious.
