AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

When Roxane heard the words “first side mission”, she asked anxiously:

– What’s wrong ? Did something happen to my brother?

The staff member explained via walkie-talkie:

– No, the player is fine. I just need you both to come over for a moment. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

Upon hearing that Enzo was well, Roxane sighed with relief.

– Alright. We will come immediately.

The staff member had already opened the door to the secret room in the first side mission. Even though the lights were one, they were rather dim.

When the staff member saw Roxane and Sebastien, he looked like he had seen his savior. He hurriedly said:

– The player is probably too scared to hear anything we say. Can you please tell him to let our actor go?

Roxane was perplexed upon hearing this. She turned around and saw Enzo sitting on the ground and tightly gripping the actor’s thigh with both hands. He muttered again and again:

– I’m not afraid of you. I’m not afraid of you. I’m not afraid of you. Do not joke.

The actor, who wore white clothes and a wig, looked like he was about to collapse. Enzo held her thigh so tightly that her pants looked like they were about to fall off. He gripped his pants tightly as he looked at Roxane with a pleading expression that seemed to say, “Help me! Help me!”

She stood still as she blinked her large, bright eyes. She really wanted to say, “I’m sorry, but I don’t know him.”

The staff member held back his laughter and said kindly:

– This player entered for less than two minutes when my colleague appeared… Then, it happened… No matter how much we tried to persuade him, it was of no use. Please talk to him.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Enzo’s eyes were closed as he hugged the man’s thigh and muttered the same thing over and over. It was clear he couldn’t hear anything at that moment.

Roxane felt very embarrassed. She tilted her head and looked at the man next to her and asked:

-Why don’t you go talk to my brother?

– I don’t want to embarrass myself.

Sebastien clears his throat before saying with an impassive face:

– You both have a deep affection for each other as brothers and sisters. I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to intervene.

Roxane: …

Due to the staff member’s request and the young actor’s crying expression, she prepared herself and walked over. She crouched down and placed her hand on Enzo’s shoulder when…

– Ahhhhhhh!

He was so scared that he started screaming and praying.

– I have Jesus and Buddha with me! Go away, ghosts!

She was surprised by Enzo’s reaction. After a while, she said helplessly

– Brother, brother, it’s me. I am Roxane.

Enzo stopped moving; he seemed to have heard Roxane. He slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw her under the dim light, he hurriedly released the young actor’s thing and hugged Roxane.

– Roxane, you scared me to death! It’s so scary! The ghost is too scary! You almost lost your brother.

The young actor quickly tied his pants. Then he was like, “Damn! You’re scarier than a ghost! You almost tore my pants and underwear!”

Enzo held Roxane so tightly that she was almost dragged down by his weight. She patted him on the shoulder and said reassuringly:

– My brother, it’s okay. It’s not a real ghost. He’s just an actor.

-Oh?

He turned around and saw this young actor who had taken off his wig.

The young actor had a crew cut, single eyelids and an obvious Adam’s apple on his throat.

-What the hell is this? Are you really crazy? Why do you pretend to be a ghost to scare people?

The young actor was confused when he was scolded by Enzo. He asked:

-Didn’t you come to play in the escape room? Plus, you chose the scariest room.

“How could the room be scary without ghosts?”

– Uh…

He seemed to come to his senses at this moment. “He’s right… Ah, I scolded the wrong person”
