Choi Youngjin
I can see there's a settlement in this conversation
Choi Youngjin
So allow me to explain it to you
Choi Youngjin
1. In some condition, you are one of the chosen candidates.
Choi Youngjin
It's not like you've been chosen to be an idol, celebrity or aladdin who got a jinnie lamp
Choi Youngjin
And there's no team from any company here nor small groups of a community. It's just me
Choi Youngjin
By all means, I chose you for some point
Choi Youngjin

Choi Youngjin

Choi Youngjin
6. The task it's quite simple. You need to think outside the box whenever I gave you the assignments
Choi Youngjin
Once you can complete it, no ghost will haunt, taunt, annoys or even bothering you. Every accomplishment will get a point. The points you collect can be converted or use as a protection talisman
Choi Youngjin

Sonya
It's like playing a boring game
Choi Youngjin
If you want to enjoy life, you have to earn it.
Choi Youngjin

Sonya
But I'm being humble today
Sonya
So I'm going to ask you 1 question
Sonya

Sonya
I prefer to be alone. So it doesn't affect me much
Choi Youngjin
I will tell you a story
Choi Youngjin
Every friday night, the three brothers always had this Boys' Night Out thing as their bro-code. On a very thunderstorm night, 13th May 2016, at 12 am, the three bros were having a movie night
Choi Youngjin
But that night was special. Because they brought in 2 girls and 1 company. This company however was a plus one, an added guest from one of the girls. The company was her dog. They all having a good time that night
Choi Youngjin
Since it was thunderstorm outside, like a clichè horror story, There was a sudden power outage throughout the building. The girls were shouting, while the men were silent. One of the girls was shouting "Ken! Don't just stand there! Do something!"
In the middle of the night, it's pitch black. Two people got out of there dragging some heavy things. Leaving others in the place covered with freezing temperatures, but a slow, warm breath was still felt.
Choi Youngjin
The next day it was swarming with media reporters and people in uniforms and with badges. Everyone who occupied the building moved to another location after being asked a simple question
Choi Youngjin
"Could you tell us who is always cussing?"
Sonya
Are you trying to make me being dolicate by sharing this creepy shittake mushroom?
Sonya
I hate this grammartical correction mode
Choi Youngjin
It's your turn to find out
Choi Youngjin

Choi Youngjin went offline
Sonya
