The Nature of Possession

100 – EP.5 Danger of Life-2

***

Pick up the ball and stand on the lane.

A bowling ball similar to the weight of my heart wrapped around my hand.

“Fighting boss!!”

As she screamed so loudly that the bowling alley rang, I could feel her eyes focused on her from the other side.

please be a little quieter

I couldn’t say anything about the pure cheering heart, so I silently stared at the front and moved on.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Lower your left hand that was supporting you, and point your right hand behind you.

Then, bring your right leg behind your left leg and swing your arms forward.

– kung

With the sound of a heavy bowling ball hitting the floor, the ball starts to roll.

Oh, but you’re going in a straight line?

As soon as I thought about it, I fell to the side.

– Tang

Still, not to lose face, the two pins on the left are knocked over.

“hahahaha…”

“You still have one more left.”

When I returned to my seat, embarrassed by the comparison with Mr. Garam, Mr. Garam sat next to me and said,

A mechanism descends, lifts the pin, and clears the fallen pin.

In the meantime, the ball I threw comes back.

“Whoa…”

stand on the lane again

As before, step on the steps and throw the ball.

This time is different from before. Because the ball went sideways.

Aww…

I tasted it.

“You can strike next time.”

Seeing her score more than me, I put on a grotesque expression.

Contrary to what she said, the results become clearer as the game progresses.

While she throws the ball like a shot put and creates strikes, I get 2-4.

The score gradually increases.

Actually, I don’t have anything to do with it, but it still makes me feel bad to lose.

“……”

After mechanically giving her a high-five with the striker, Mr. Garam, who saw me in the dark, joined by my side.

“Boss. That… can I help you?”

“Help me? How?”

“Wake up.”

As I climbed up with the ball, she followed.

“Mr. Garam?”

Wondering what I was doing, I tried to turn my head, but Mr. Garam’s hand on the top of my head turned my head forward again.

“You have to look ahead.”

Behind his back, he felt her close.

And her hand on my arm.

Her firm hand caresses my body and holds my posture.

“Boss, there is no problem with the steps. When I lower the ball, the ball goes behind my back.”

She stuck behind me like a back hug, and whispered slowly in my ear.

Mr. Garam tapped my lower back with his right hand.

“When this happens, the ball doesn’t come down straight. Don’t worry about missing it, just pull it straight out.”

Her hand holds my right hand and guides the path.

It’s definitely a different feeling than anything I’ve ever done.

She got me back into a ready position, and put her hands on my shoulders.

“Nice job. Do what I just told you.”

– tuk tuk

She patted me on the shoulder and went back to her seat.

What is this that makes you so nervous?

I laughed inwardly because it seemed like it took too much energy to roll the ball just once.

Following the path she had pointed out, I pulled my hand back and released the ball with a straight swing.

– kung

The sound of rolling, unlike before, the ball goes straight.

bang!

With a clear sound, the hard barrier of the pin collapsed.

And an X appears on the screen.

“Kyaaa! The boss is really cool!”

I was about to do a high-five, but Mr. Garam gave me a high-pitched scream and hugged me.

I cleared my throat at her sudden tackle.

“Go, Mr. Garam. This is a bit.”

I grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her away, but I had to really use my strength because I was so strong.

In order to remember the sensation just now for the next turn, I practice in the air, but a large man approaches me from the other side.

“Can’t we play it quietly? Be noisy. Did you pay for the charter here? Shouldn’t a nobleman who is old enough do that?”

A high-pitched voice rang out.

The man must have been very excited, his face flushed red.

Apparently, he is one of the club members.

“There are other people too. They have no manners and have no manners.”

The man snorted and pointed.

Well, we were a bit noisy.

I immediately bowed down.

“Sorry. I’ll be careful.”

“It’s okay. Let’s be a little more considerate.”

When I came out in a low position, the other person also went back to their seats without shouting more, as if they were embarrassed.

“Garam, we need to be quiet.”

I took my eyes off the man who was moving away and turned to Mr. Garam.

“…yes.”

As if he had been looking somewhere else until just now, Mr. Garam looked at me and answered.

It’s a pity to see the downtrodden scene in the midst of excitement, but what can I do? Public place etiquette is more important.

We threw the ball quietly for the rest of our turn, and as soon as the game was over, we hurriedly ran out of the bowling alley.

Behind me as I slipped away, the sound of clicking the tongue of the people in the club followed.

***

Inho and Garam went down to the underground parking lot.

Inho’s ears were red, as if the public humiliation still lingered in his heart.

He got into the car and waited for Garam to get on, but Garam was unmoved.

“Mr. Garam, aren’t you riding?”

In-ho looked down the window and said to Garam.

“Oh, I have something to do around here. Go first.”

Garam, who raised the corners of his mouth as much as possible, replied to Inho.

“Suddenly?”

“Ah! I suddenly remembered something. I have something to do with the remodeling.”

Because I’m clumsy. Garam added.

“Uh… but you’re going home from here. If it doesn’t take long, I’ll wait…”

“Oh, no! It takes a long time. It took a very long time. Boss, go first.”

“Yes… Well, then… Please contact me when the remodeling is all ready.”

Inho rolled up the window and left the parking lot.

“……”

After confirming that In-ho’s car was completely out of sight, Garam went back into the building.

***

Mr. Ko Seung-deok, the head of the club, relaxed his shoulders as he left the soup restaurant.

It was because my body was sore after playing bowling all day.

After playing bowling, gathering with the members and having a glass of soju with rice soup, he was walking home.

When he saw his lighted house in the distance, he glanced at the bag of electric roasted whole chicken for the children and walked down the alley with a smile.

– Jeobuck

Pretending to be popular, he tried to look back.

– kung

The sudden pain in his abdomen made Seung-deok fall forward.

“Ugh!”

I tried to open my mouth and breathe in, but I couldn’t breathe properly.

He looked up and tried to see the other person, but he could barely see the silhouette of the assailant with his back to the lamppost.

I felt a tingling sensation in the back of my head, then I was half lifted and dragged into a dark alleyway.

By the time he started to feel the pain reaching his knee, he lost consciousness for a moment with the feeling of something dull kicking his chin.

In the black vision, I wake up to the feeling of someone tapping my cheek.

“Who, who…”

“Quiet.”

A woman’s low voice ran down her spine.

He stiffened like a herbivore at the predator’s growl.

“Sal, please save me.”

What the hell are you trying to do? He shuddered at the fear gripping his heart.

“Boss. You’re in trouble.”

The assailant’s hand approaches his face. He instinctively closed his eyes.

Fingers poking through her clenched mouth.

A thumb crosses his lower teeth.

Strong pressure is applied to the chin.

“Ugh… that’s that…”

Seung-deok struggled with the pressure coming into the line of fire, but his body, which was subdued by the opponent, did not budge.

puffed up puffed up

An ominous sound came from his mouth, and he felt the same stinging sensation spreading through his body.

puffed up puffed up

Something breaks, and the ripping sound gets louder and louder…

Pugak

“Ughhhhh!!!”

At the same time the pressure went away, a great pain set in.
