On the way home from camping.
That night, Friday night at 10:45 PM, three women, Rina and Mila, were laughing out loud watching a Korean comedy drama until late at night in the middle seat. Their viewing was always accompanied by a portion of noodles and grilled chicken at a very spicy level. Meanwhile, Sari, known for her aloof and serious demeanor, sat in the front seat as the driver.
Midway through the trip, Mila suddenly grimaced and clutched her stomach in pain. Sure enough, Mila's stomach ache had flared up. Rina, who witnessed this, was shocked and confused.
"I told you earlier when you were shopping before you went home, you should stop eating spicy food. You told me to stop eating spicy food, but you just became stubborn," Sari said, concentrating on driving.
Five minutes passed, and Mila's stomach ache still hadn't subsided, so Rina and Sari decided to take her to a nearby hospital.
In the dead of night, with the road empty, only the shadows of trees and a few power poles obscured by the fog, Sari drove the car while checking her phone for the location of the health center. Rina, meanwhile, began to panic as Mila's face began to turn pale from the pain in her stomach.
After 20 minutes, the three of them finally stopped in front of an old hospital that looked deserted and silent, with rusty iron fences and mostly green, moss-covered walls.
The night breeze blew softly, the rustling of leaves clearly audible along with the breeze.
From a distance, the faint sound of a dog howling could be heard, almost sending shivers down the spine. As the night wore on, Rina and Sari carried Mila inside. In the front room, the three of them saw a woman with long, flowing hair and a pale, sad face wearing a patient's gown, a cold gaze piercing theirs.
"Wait here a moment. Rina and I are going to find a nurse," Sari said to Mila.
Sari and Rina ventured forward to another room, hoping someone could help them. They cautiously walked down the hospital hallway. They smelled the pungent stench of carrion, accompanied by the eerie sound of geckos. Suddenly, the lights flickered until they went out completely. From the direction of the operating room, a figure emerged, initially mistaken for a doctor. But after they called out and approached, they discovered it was a headless ghost. What they saw, of course, made them scream hysterically, and they ran aimlessly.
A few hours later, the faint sound of an old woman woke Sari and Rina. After they managed to open their heavy eyes, they found themselves in a small room, with an old woman standing in front of them. She had found them and taken them to her home.
Once Sari and Rina regained consciousness, they remembered Mila, whom they had left behind in their hysterical state of seeing the headless ghost.
"Excuse me, have you found my other friend? He's tall and has a black birthmark on his right arm?" Rina asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, your friend is fine. He's resting now after I gave him some herbal medicine," the old woman replied, her voice faltering.
The next day, driven by curiosity after Sari and Rina told them what had happened, Sari, Mila, and Rina, accompanied by the old woman, went to the hospital. They were shocked to discover that the hospital they had visited the night before had been closed nine years ago and its gates were completely locked.
