My Boss, My (Ex) Boyfriend
102. Night Jurist
It didn't feel like 28 minutes passed quickly. Rein is honestly reluctant to move from his seat and he also still does not know what to do when he meets Davin later. He still can't think about it.
"Everyone gather, make two long rows in front of each box!" The sound of the screams of the event organizers drew Rein from his reverie.
Tonight there is a night judge - perhaps more precisely as a place to date if lucky to get the same number with the lover, making an approach for the lucky one to get the same number with the target heart, he said, or as a place to relieve stress from the many jobs in the office.
All that could happen because later everyone who gets the same number will be made a partner when doing night jurit. Each pair will enter the forest with a rope tied in each other's hands, passing through some shocking and creepy ghost posts. This activity is quite cool as well as creepy, everyone is very excited to go through it.
"Oh, you're there!" Someone's shouting stopped Rein's steps.
Rein turned his head towards the source of the voice, staring at the bewildered few adults in ghost costumes and 'somewhat' creepy makeup.
No-no, the creepiest thing was the long white-and-white costume that they all wore. Rein made a shudder.
"Yes, you! Come here!" Shouted the man dressed in the pocong again.
Rein hesitantly brought his steps closer to them.
"What's wrong?" Ask Rein.
"Please help us, one of my friends in charge of guarding post 5 got sick. He can't do his job and we can't let post 5 go blank." The man said begging.
Rein felt a bad feeling, "What...what should I admit to doing to help you?"
One of the women in white who played the role of 'kunti' handed over white clothes to Rein.
"Use this to replace our friend."
Rein was stunned, he retreated backwards.
"I can't!" She's so scared of the dark okay!
"But if you don't want to then post 5 will be empty. We also cannot ask for help from others because the time is very tight. Look at the people there, they're getting ready to enter the forest." Please that man.
Rein couldn't bear it but he really didn't like dark places.
"But I don't like the dark."
"Each post must carry a flashlight so if anything happens you can turn on the flashlight. And this," The woman also handed HT to Rein.
"We will use HT as a communication tool so you don't have to be afraid. We're all connected to each other." The woman continued to persuade Rein to help them.
"But..." Rein wanted to refuse.
However, his conscience will not be that cruel,"Alright. But.but if anything happens you should get to my post."
"Of course, we'll be right to your post when something happens!"
...🍃🍃🍃...
Rein and the other 'ghosts' went straight into the forest after helping Rein use a little bloody makeup.
They light their respective flashlights, sending Rein to post 5 together while talking about some of the rules they had to do when the night judge participants passed the post.
"It's so dark in here." Rein murmured while carrying his flashlight in any direction.
Others said, "It wouldn't be exciting if the forest had lights! Night squeaks won't be fun and boring."
This answer has a point. If the forest has lighting, the night judge will feel bland.
"Well, now we're here. Rein, this is your post." The man said as he directed a flashlight at the large tree in front of them.
"I..I...this is post 5?" Rein asked in disbelief.
He thought the posts would be built like a halfway hut, but not a halfway hut he got, but a large tree laden with 'angker' flavors'.
"Yes, this is post 5. Our posts are all close together so you don't have to worry. Already yes, Bram said the first couple had started entering the forest and were now heading towards post 1. We'll talk again through HT. Bye, Rein." The man left and was followed by other 'ghosts.
"Excite, Rein!"
Rein panicked, he still did not dare to be left alone. But all of his 'ghost' friends have gone to their respective posts.
"I..what should I do now- uh, why is my flashlight getting dimmer?"
