I’m a Girl, He’s a Psycho, and This is Fine

She paused outside Room 304—her old dorm room—and felt it again.

The Gu inside her stirred.

"There's something here," it whispered.

She reached out, placing her palm against the cold door.

An image flashed in her mind.

A boy, standing at the window, staring into the dark.

A whisper. A shadow. A fall.

Shi Mo stepped back, breath catching.

She'd heard the rumors before she transferred: someone had died in Room 304. Supposedly a suicide.

But now, standing there in the silence, she didn't believe that story.

Not anymore.

She returned to Room 415 and found Fu Yunshen still awake, sitting cross-legged on his bed.

"Did someone die in 304?" she asked.

He didn't look surprised by the question.

"Yes," he said after a pause. "Last semester. A transfer student. Quiet. Kept to himself."

"Everyone says it was suicide."

Fu Yunshen's voice lowered. "He didn't jump."

Shi Mo tensed. "You saw it?"

"No," he replied. "But I heard something. That night. The sound of someone falling—but no scream. Just… silence."

He looked at her then.

"Something pulled him."

Shi Mo felt a chill crawl down her spine.

"That room," she whispered, "was never clean."

Fu Yunshen nodded. "Not until you came."

Shi Mo blinked. "Me?"

"The presence… it vanished when you moved in," he said simply. "Whatever haunted 304 left when you entered."

She didn't know how to respond.

Later that night, she lay in bed, eyes wide open, listening to the rain tapping against the window.

The system buzzed softly in her mind:

[Unmarked Spiritual Interference Neutralized – Room 304][Reason: Host presence incompatible with residual curse energy][Brotherhood Value +60 (Fu Yunshen – recognition of protection)][Current Total: 480 / 1,000,000]

She stared at the ceiling.

So it wasn't just her Gu that was different.

She was different.

A walking ward.

A charm in disguise.

And yet, she was the one pretending to be a curse.

Across the room, Fu Yunshen turned off his bedside lamp.

"Thanks," he said in the dark.

Shi Mo turned her head. "For what?"

"For being here."

She didn't answer right away.

Then softly, she replied, "You too."
