❤️❤️ UPDATING EVERY SATURDAY

(Translated and arranged by Saya)




K had a classmate called B. 

They were good friends, and since they lived in the same neighbourhood, they usually went home from school together. 

They were also both into the occult, and they would often tell scary stories to each other on their way home. 

One day, as they were heading home from school, B felt the need to answer the call of nature, and dashed into a toilet inside a park. 
K waited for him outside. 

After a while, B came out of the toilet, looking visibly disturbed. 
"Which way did that guy go?"
What guy? K asked him, and B replied that a boy, who appeared to be a middle school student, got out of the toilet before him. 
K had been waiting for B in front of the toilet the whole time, so he was sure he hadn't seen anyone come out before B. 

Then B told him what had happened:
He was using an urinal when he heard someone knock on the cubicle. 
He turned around but no one was standing in front of the cubicle. So he guessed that someone was already inside in the cubicle and had knocked the door from inside because he had run out of toilet paper or something. 

B, having finished his own business, decided to knock on the cubicle. But he got no response. 

He then tried the handle; since it was not locked, he could open it, but found no one inside. 

Weird, B thought, and turned to the exit, when he noticed a boy --- who appeared to be a middle school student wearing a student's cap **--- poking only the left half of his face out of the exit, staring intently at B. 

What the hell...? The moment he thought that, the face glided to the left and disappeared from B's view. 

The guy must have left the toilet, thought B, and that is why he asked K about the boy. 

But K genuinely hadn't seen anyone. 
He had been standing at the same place from the moment B entered the toilet, so it was impossible for him to have missed anything. 

K thought that B must have seen something which he mistook it for a person, but B insisted that he saw a boy. B looked baffled and unsatisfied. 

Ever since then, strange things started happening. 
Whenever B left the classroom --- to go to a toilet, for example --- B would stop at the door, and poke only the left half of his face from behind the door, and stare at K without expression, before withdrawing his head. 

K was startled, but he thought that B was angry with him for not having taken him seriously at the park toilet, and wanted to get back at him. 

But this prank went on and on for days. 
It wasn't funny when you were on the receiving end of having someone stare at you in that way over and over again. 
He's gone too far this time, K thought.

K decided to confront B about it. 
Stop staring at me like that from behind the door, he said. 
B looked baffled. "I have never done such a thing."
You think I am stupid? K nearly said to him, but stopped himself. Something didn't add up. 

When B stared at him, only half of his face was visible. 
But if someone tried to do the same and kept their face half hidden by the door, part of their shoulder would also be visible. 
It seemed impossible that a person could poke their head out in such a way that it was parallel to the floor and keep their shoulder hidden at the same time.

On another day, they were walking to a classroom together. 
K was keeping his gaze on B, thinking: 
If it wasn't B who poked his head out from the door, then who was it?

Just as B turned around a corner, B's face, and again only the half of it, poked out of the corner, as was expected. 
And the face again stared at K, with lifeless eyes. 

But it was a little different from usual.
B's face was poking out from a place close to the ceiling, which of course was unreachable to a person of his hight.
K was astounded, and immediately ran after B; he rounded the corner --- and saw B walking normally ahead of him. 

This incident chilled K to the bone.
From that day forward, K would always make sure to lower his gaze and not look at B whenever B went out of the classroom.

Then years went by, without anything happening to B, apart from that one weird thing.
They finished high school and then were admitted to different universities. 
But because their universities were not so far from each other, they decided to share a room together.

They found one apartment they both liked, and booked an appointment with an estate agent. The three of them went to take a look at the room. 

The apartment was quite new, and the room they had come to see was clean and on the top floor of the building. The rent was inexpensive.

K and B felt impressed and the estate agent was in high spirits.
K was thinking about signing the contract then and there, when he realised B had disappeared. 

It was a studio apartment so there weren't many places to hide. The estate agent noticed B was missing too and looked confused. 

Then the estate agent glanced at the balcony and exclaimed. 
K did the same and they both saw the left half of B's face poking out from the left-hand side of the balcony. 
What the hell is he going? Before K could open his mouth, however, the estate agent said, "How can he stand like that when there's nothing under his feet...?" 

As soon as the estate agent uttered those words, B's half-face, instead of withdrawing as usual, fell, at lightning speed, straight to the ground.

It was concluded in the end that B committed suicide.
But no one was able to find out why he committed suicide.

Happy Saturday, everyone! ๐Ÿ˜„๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’ž✨

I hope you enjoyed this story!
K was called A in the original text, but I changed it because calling someone A in an English text seems a bit confusing. I dunno. ๐Ÿ˜†✨

Anyway, have a wonderful weekend ๐Ÿฆ⭐✨๐ŸŽต
Thank you always for leaving comments! I enjoy interacting with you so much! ๐Ÿ’–✨

Happy Weekend, Saya!

Wow. Reading this story gave me goosebumps. This story is spooky as hell.
And the ghost. I don't even know what to comment about it.
It seems like it's not dangerous. But it is also the scariest haunter of all.
If I'm K, I would be afraid to look at corners everywhere I go.

I do wonder if B would have been okay if the agent did not say anything?
Like the way K never said a word at the moment whenever he saw 'B' like that.
The agent commenting on B would be the same as acknowledging the ghost, yes?
But if the agent did not say anything, and nothing happen to B, would the agent then be haunted by 'B' next?

I didn't expect the ending would be like that. But yeah seeing someone staring at you expressionless and half a face is sure damn creepy.
Hello, nunu! I am glad it gave you chills!๐Ÿ˜†⭐✨

That's an interesting thought! Perhaps the estate agent's words were truly what triggered B's tragic demise at the end!

Thank you always for your fun comments! ✨✨๐ŸฆHave a lovely weekend!
It's good to hear that the end was unexpected for you!๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ’–✨I like to surprise people! LOL ✨

Thank you so much for your comment!๐Ÿ™⭐

I have to read the story twice since I didn't quite get it. But it seems to me that B has a doppelganger or perhaps knocking at the cubicle door kind of made him the "it"...? I have a feeling that whatever is inside that cubicle was looking for someone to "possess" and B having responded to the knock sealed his fate. The ending is unexpected but extremely sad.

Thank you so much for the hard work of translating and updating Saya-san! Hope you have a lovely week! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿฅฐ
That's probably what happened! Thank you for clarifying the story for us!๐Ÿ˜„๐ŸŒท✨

You are welcome~! I derive so much pleasure from sharing those stories with you, and comments from you readers are like the icing on the cake~๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•✨
Thank you so much for your comment!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿงก✨๐ŸŽต

It was kinda confusing at first, but then I got it. More like supernatural annoyance that drives people to crazy, or most likely the protagonist is having some sort of mental disorder, or his friend really is a jerk. Your typical horror movie with plot twists :D

Also I remember an advice from the wild depth of the internet.... "if you suspect supernatural beings are haunting or stalking or peeping at you, simply masturbate furiously to questionably cursed pictures or videos from 2chan or 4chan or liveleak or any other sites. Maybe whatever that was haunting you will quit and go to therapy, or call the police to arrest you" Well, yeah, I agree XD
That is a bizarre advice ๐Ÿ˜†✨

Perhaps as you said K was just being delusional! ⭐

Thank you so much for your comment! LOL ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŽต✨๐ŸŒˆ

Wheeee, a new creepy story that I wish I didn't have to picture it in my mind TT_TT

Thank you for the story as always, Saya!

I feel like B doesn't even realize it yet that he is 'haunted'? And why does it seem only K notices his strange behavior...until the real estate agent does? Weird.
allucinator said…
The ending was jarring. B was seeing some random bloke in his periphery. So do K but with B. Seems like a random curse.
such a scary story, though to be honest i actually thought somebody would die, either K or B. well, horror stories are often like that right lol x"DD
thanks a lot Saya-san!
Don't cry!๐Ÿ˜†✨

What I wondered after reading this story was why K didn't tell B about this. If B knew, perhaps the tragedy could have been avoided. Or maybe not.๐Ÿ˜†⭐

I think before, K was only seeing a kind of B's phantom, but when they saw B at the balcony, B was actually physically there, because he was about to jump. That was why the estate agent could see him too. I may be wrong.๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿงก

Thank you so much for your comment!๐Ÿ™✨
It appears to be a curse! ๐Ÿ˜†๐ŸŒธ✨
I hope I don't ever get haunted by something like that!

Thank you so much for your comment!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’˜✨
Next time, I will try to post a story in which no one dies !๐Ÿ˜†⭐

You are welcome and thanks a lot for your comment!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’•๐ŸŒˆ⭐✨

The persons behaviour seems to be something called 'posessed'. I think his behaviour was not limited to K. That cubicle seems to be cursed with that. I cant even imagine how scary it would be to see just some face staring at you. Very scary Saya. Keep up the good stories!

-that one anonymous
I am so glad I managed to scare you! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ‘✨

Yes, B probably could have gotten possessed by a ghost while he was in the toilet!

Thank you so much for your encouragement ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’–✨

Well, that curse took a while to come about. Poor B. I have a friend who would love those Jason Focaccia.

Heya Saya! Thank you for this week's post! Hope your weekend was good~

This story.. is really scary to me. More so than some of the others. Maybe it's because it's a lot easier to imagine than a demon or a ghost or something. If it were me I would definitely inform my friend he's being messed around with by something..

Reeaally creepy but that's why I'm here! ๐Ÿคฃ
That's so true ๐Ÿคฃ⭐✨Why did it take so long to come about?

Jason would be a happy to see himself being turned into cute Focaccia!๐Ÿคฃ๐ŸŒธ✨

Thank you so much for your comment!๐Ÿ™⭐
Hello! You are very welcome!๐Ÿ˜†๐ŸŒˆ⭐✨

My weekend was a lot of fun, thank you! I hope yours was good too! ๐Ÿ’˜✨

I tend to prefer the stories that seem realistic too! I am glad you found it scary!๐Ÿ˜†✨

Yes, life wouldn't be fun without having something to scare you from time to time! LOL ๐Ÿฆ✨

I hope I can scare you again in the near future ~๐ŸŒธ✨Thank you so much for your comment!๐ŸŒท✨

That one is REALLY spooky! I'm always afraid of a face poking around a corner or through a doorway. Especially if it's too tall or too short for a person!
It made me scared to look at doorways too while I was translating it!๐Ÿคฃ๐ŸŽต✨

Thank you so much for your comment ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿฆ✨

Hello, Yuu here. Been an avid reader since I was in High School, I'd say for almost a decade already. ๐Ÿ˜†

Amazing story with an unexpected plot twist. I think it's going to be the agent's turn to be the half face, because he acknowledged and spoke about B's half face existence. The same way B became the half face because he talked about it to K, and K being the receiving end because he was confided about it.

Poor K, he won't see B's half face anymore because he's now gone, but now he's going to see the agent's face everywhere.
Hello, Yuu there!๐Ÿ˜†⭐

That's a long time! I am glad you are still following my blog!

Oh no! I hope I won't end up seeing the agent's half face everywhere! That would be really bizarre!

Thank you so much for sharing your theory and taking the time to say hello! Take care ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’•
