|Chapter 3 - The Curses Effect

"It's gone..?" Hae-soo said faintly.

"Let's fi-"

Before Junhwo was able to finish saying something someone suddenly screamed as if he or she was being slaughtered.

Hae-soo ran towards the direction of the scream luckily Junhwo grabbed her on time.

"Are you crazy!?" Junhwo yelled and his voice echoed through the forest and the well.

"What if that was Mo-ryeong!?" Hae-soo said while panicking.

"Fine..."

As they looked around someone called out Hae-soo. It was Mo-ryeong and Sunghyun.

"Hae-soo!" Mo-ryeong embraced Hae-soo tightly and said "I was so scared! Sob, Ha-jun. Ha-jun was chased by the Monster... But it looked different! It was Smiling creepily but it was smaller than the one on the well!" Mo-ryeong panickedly said. Her hands were trembling in fear as she explained how the Monster looked.

"Let's find Ha-jun first, and then we'll find a safe place to hide" Junhwo said.

"Psstt!"

Something was calling them by making psstt sounds. In their confusion the one making those noises was the tall faceless black creature.

"AhhHHh!!" Mo-ryeong screamed as she pointed at the Tall Faceless Creature.

"Don't make a sound" Junhwo said as he slowly picked a stone and threw it away.

The Faceless creature suddenly disappeared and appeared on the place where the stone landed.

"HELP!! There was a!" A Girl who was with Fami failed to finish talking when the Tall black faceless creature stomped on her using its long pointy legs.

"Ah..." Mo-ryeong fainty said.

After killing the Girl the tall faceless creature disappeared.

"Kekekeke" A Head peeked on the puddle. It's long hair was white and it's eyes were pure red with yellow circles.

"What the..." Junhwo said.

Suddenly Sunghyun threw a large rock at it but the puddle was shallow. How did a head peeked there.

"It disappeared!" Sunghyun yelled.

"HELP!" It was the voice of Ha-jun calling out for help.

"Ha-jun!" Junhwo yelled.

"HELP ME!.. THE SMILING MONSTER IS CHASING ME!.." Ha-jun screamed.

Junhwo then picked a wooden pike and broke it to make the tip sharp.

As Junhwo's figure slowly fades into the fog Ha-jun's screams were getting closer and closer.

As Junhwo saw Ha-jun being chased by the small smiling creature Junhwo ran towards it stabbed it on the chest.

"Queeel! Quii..." The Smiling creature squeled after threshing on the ground.

"Junhwo?! Wahhh! You saved me!" Ha-jun hugged Junhwo tightly.

"Get off me! Sigh, I'm glad you're alive" Junhwo said.

"Gasp! Junhwo!" Hae-soo yelled.

'Where am I... I'm back inside the tent... Was I, dreaming?' Hae-soo thought but the commotion outside made her look.

"What's going on?" Hae-soo asked after opening her tent.

A crowd was surrounding something or someone. They were taking pictures of it.

"Hae-soo!" Junhwo yelled as he hugged Hae-soo tightly.

"Junhwo-nim..? What's wrong?" Hae-soo asked.

"It wasn't a dream..." Junhwo said faintly.

"Wait you had the same dream t-" Before Hae-soo finished talking she was taken aback after seeing Junhwo's face too close to hers.
