THE CALL

Episode 2

WAKE UP THE CALL 2

This surgery requires us to make an incision on the skin, then we must split the skin to remove the tumor, we can’t perform the surgery here, it’s a complicated procedure, so she will need to go to a bigger hospital, My mom’s neurologist surgeon said while pointing at the system.

At this point, I was lost, scared, sad and hopeless.

I went to my moms ward, I saw her trying to peel off fruits for herself. I went to help her.

You are cutting away all the fruits, My mom said.

Do you remember Young-mi? She asked me, smiling.

No, I replied sadly.

You know, my friend who works in insurance company, she is fair and a high nose bridge, she asked.

What about her?, I replied,

She will take care of it, she said.

Take care of what? I replied,

What do you think? The insurance payout, she said.

It’s is impossible to save up to 100 million won working at a convenience store, she added.

I stopped peeling the fruit.

You should go visit Dad’s grave tomorrow, ask the manager there, if I can be buried beside him, or if we should be buried together, my mom said calmly.

Mom, how can you even say that? I asked.

What, she replied.

I looked at her, do you think you have the right to be buried Next to Dad? I asked.

What, why look at me like that, am I wrong? I asked.

You shouldn’t talk like that, she said.

I angrily dropped the fruit, I was peeling, took my coat and left before leaving, I noticed my mom painted her nails,

do you still feel like painting your nails in this situation? I left the room.

Furthermore, I went to visit my Dad’s tombstone, written February 24, 1965 – November 27, 1999. Likewise, I kept looking at the tomb with nothing in mind though, just feeling sad, I left. Getting to my house, I could hear my phone ringing, so I rushed to get it.

Hello?, I said, breathing heavily.

Sun-hee! I think my mom is trying to kill me, the caller responded, dreading.

Sorry?

Come over now, you know my address, right? 4 Yeongcheon-ri, Bosung-eup! She said, breathing heavily.

Who are you? You keep calling me, I asked.

Isn’t this Sun-hee’s store? She asked

No it’s not, I replied.

Bullshit, are you doing this deliberately? She asked angrily.

Sorry, doing what? I asked, she ended the call.

At this point, I was exhausted and confused, I slept off trying to figure out what was going on.

Suddenly I heard a weird noise. I stood up, on the lights, moving to the lobby where the noise came from, at this point I was a bit scared because I was the only one at home. I looked at the wall which I heard the noise from, but it was actually my family frame picture that fall, everything was cool, I heaved a sigh of relief. Likewise, I bought a chair, and nails to hit to hang the frame, trying to put the nail on the wall, it was just falling off, I hit the wall it was noisy, I took the hammer hit it hard, the wall cracked. I could see inside, I decided to break the wall open to fit in. Finally, I was able to fit in, but the place was dark. I bought my touch pointing in, I was flabbergasted to see a staircase, I quietly made my way in, moving down the staircase, I could hear my heartbeat, I was scared, but I wanted to know what was in there.

I saw an old dusty chair covered with cobwebs, I moved closer to see what was sitting there, I saw a brown teddy bear, I was confused, I stared looking around, something fell I was terrified, I was breathing heavily, I saw a box, I opened it, I saw an old bell, jotter, staff many scary things.

I took the jotter, it was too dusty, I started sneezing. I opened the jotter, saw pictures of a man, at the note side,

FRIDAY, AUGUST 27th,1999, FIRE FLOODING

REPELS GHOSTS BY BURNING THEM, THE PLAGUED

BATHROOM SHALL BE BURNT DOWN IN SECRET

AND MOTHER SETS ME ON FIRE.

This was written in the jotter, I was still confused though, flipping through the next page, a picture fell, It was a picture of a young lady, I took the picture and left. I took my coat and my bag to search for the lady because the place where she took the picture was familiar.
