The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

Episode 12

* * *

One thing became certain from yesterday’s phone call.

Older Brother has become a ‘Xion’

Older Brother tried to send me away, but there’s no way I could pretend not to know him.

So.

“Tell me. About the Yongsan Station ‘Xion’.”

“Are your eyes swollen too, Jelly?”

Chae Heon furrowed his brow as if he couldn’t believe it.

I rubbed my eyes. I couldn’t sleep at all yesterday and cried all night, so my eyes had become plump like jelly.

“They’re swollen. You showed me something good, so hurry up and tell me.”

Chae Heon muttered about what kind of good sight that was, yawned, and then said.

“The Yongsan Station Xion is the mother body of the shopping mall. It disrupts minds and materializes hallucinations. Simply put, think of the Yongsan Station Xion as a dungeon.”

“Aha, interesting…”

“Thanks to that, I can at least make a living eating canned food.”

“If that’s the mother body, does that mean all the employees inside are part of the mother body?”

“Yawn, that’s right.”

Chae Heon scratched his head and yawned again.

He seems especially tired today.

“You were lucky yesterday. Normally, if you act abnormally there, it responds very aggressively. If you had caused just a little more commotion yesterday…”

“…If I had?”

Chae Heon rolled his eyes as if thinking about how to express it

“That scary thing would eat you up.”

“Really?!”

When I clasped my hands together with sparkling eyes, Chae Heon, who was running his hand through his hair, scrunched up his face.

“Did you understand? I said you’d get eaten.”

“Yeah, I understood.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Your eyes have completely lost it.”

“Huh?”

“You were so scared yesterday…”

After saying that much, Chae Heon shook his head and pulled out a towel.

I know it’s dangerous. I understand it well enough in my head.

…But.

There’s no way I could pretend not to know my older brother who became a Xion.

Even if things went wrong and I got eaten, I was planning to go see my older brother.

“Chae Heon, Chae Heon. I have a favor to ask.”

“I don’t want to hear it. I’m going to wash up.”

“Hmph, fine. I’ll go by myself, so can you just lend me some clothes?”

“No. Don’t go around doing useless things. From what I saw yesterday, you just can’t go out alone.”

“I don’t want to, I’m going!”

Bounce bounce bounce bounce!

“Give me~ Give me~”

Bounce bounce bounce bounce!

When I followed him all the way to the bathroom, Chae Heon got angry.

“Hey! Let me wash the sleep from my eyes!”

“If you just lend me clothes, I won’t bother you whether you wash your eyes or not.”

Chae Heon leaned against the door frame and pressed the inside of his cheek with his tongue tip. He seemed quite displeased.

“Where are you planning to go alone?”

“You said you didn’t want to hear it.”

“I changed my mind, so tell me within 3 seconds.”

I pouted my lips and mumbled.

“If you force me like that, I don’t want to say it even more…”

“Everything about you is annoying.”

“Thanks.”

Wink. When I even gave him a wink, Chae Heon seemed disgusted and dry-washed his face.

“Fine. I’ll listen to your favor, so tell me.”

“Yongsan Station.”

“No.”

“I’m going.”

“I said no.”

“I’m going though~”

“No, you’re not.”

“Yes, I’m going~”

We kept countering each other without pause and glared at each other with hissing sounds.

Crackle! Sparks flew from our eyes.

“I said no? Give me a logical explanation for why you want to go there and try to persuade me.”

“I said I’m going! The reason is…”

I wrapped both hands tightly around my heart.

“Chae Heon, can you hear it? My heart wants to go!”

“Ahhhhh!”

Chae Heon screamed as if he was really annoyed.

And the winner of this tedious word-twisting fight was…

“Bring out the manager here!”

Me.

Logical persuasion my foot. If you have a weak heart, you lose.

Chae Heon was weak, and I was strong.

What’s important is an unbreakable spirit!

* * *

“Bring out the manager here!”

At my loud shout, Chae Heon looked around with slightly frowning eyes.

All the faceless customers and employees were looking our way.

“Customer, could you please calmly tell us first why you’re acting this way?”

“I came to return this zucchini!”

I shoved the zucchini with bite marks into the clerk’s face hole.

If everyone here had faces, they would have had expressions saying ‘You brought that after eating it!’

But whatever.

“Returns are not possible, customer.”

“Whatever, bring out the manager! From now on, I’m going to talk with the manager.”

“Customer, this is really troublesome.”

“Do you want to see me rolling around here?”

When I threatened them, Chae Heon clenched his teeth and spoke to me through them.

“Are you crazy? Why are you suddenly acting like a problem customer again?”

“Calling me crazy is too much, partner. I’m perfectly sane.”

“I told you not to call me partner. Why are you doing this?”

I raised the corner of my mouth in a grin.

“Me? I just came to exchange this for my older brother.”

“What?”

“Aren’t you curious about what we can do inside this shopping mall?”

I said that and pointed at the employee.

“Tell the manager clearly. If you can’t give us a refund, at least give us an exchange.”

Just then, a man in a suit came walking over with heavy steps.

Is that my older brother?

I tried to look up at him with an expectant face.

But.

‘Why does my head keep going up?’

The figure approaching straight through the slanted shadow had an incredibly tall height.

It was when I was looking up at the approaching figure, craning my neck back sharply.

A tremendous force grabbed both my ears and quickly pulled me back.

At the same time, a bright red light shot at the spot where I had been.

Skeung-!

A deep mark from where the light had passed remained on the concrete floor.

“Wh-what is that?!”

Tall and slender body. Inside the hollow face like other employees was a searchlight, from which red light shot out in a straight line.

Chae Heon spoke while being wary of that zombie-like moving thing.

“It’s a mart security employee.”

“What?!”

Once again, light shot at where we were.

Chae Heon held me and stepped back a few more steps.

“What happens if you get hit by that light?!”

Chae Heon shrugged his shoulders once and answered calmly.

“I saw someone else melt down before.”

“Heek!”

As I trembled and became a pale white jelly, Chae Heon dodged the security guard’s attacks left and right while talking.

“See? This place is absolutely not to be taken lightly. We have to go back.”

“N-no!”

I grabbed Chae Heon’s arm with both hands. I couldn’t run away from here. But even in the midst of this, the light kept shooting.

To make matters worse, the light beams increased to two, then three. Bizarre security employees were revealing themselves from various places.

‘I thought it wouldn’t come out easily, but they’re going this far to chase us away!’

The light beams that had increased one by one soon surrounded us in a circle.

We looked like we were standing under a spotlight.

The fortunate thing was that the lights weren’t directly attacking us.

‘It feels like they’re just trying to scare us…’

Then, sound began coming from the shopping mall speakers.

【Happy happy Yupark~ Happy happy Yu~park~】

【We have an announcement. Our Yupark is taking a firm stance against black consumers (consumers who make malicious complaints to demand compensation) for the safety of our employees and peaceful shopping of our customers.
