If You're Scared, Give Me a Hug

● A timid, sweet girl who loves cosplay x a scheming, cool guy who cosplays for love

[Come on! A guy willing to wear a wig and put on cosplay makeup for you is seriously so cool. He’s so in love!]

Nan Ning grew up listening to ghost stories and has been to haunted houses, but she always thought they were no big deal.

So she figured she was pretty brave.

That was until she tried an escape room mystery game.

Later, her roommate said she had nearly screamed the roof off. She had been at it for so long that everyone was afraid she’d stop breathing.

Why hadn’t she screamed then?

Oh, she had been running around and thrown herself at the game master. The game master had frozen for a second at the sudden hug, then smiled and said, “Don’t be scared.”

He even gave her a couple of symbolic pats on the back.

Everyone else collected clues on their own. The game master was the one who handed all her clues to her.

Whether she was scared was one thing, but being embarrassed was the real problem. So Nan Ning vowed to win back her lost dignity.

That was why she became a game master at the venue, specializing in horror scenarios.

*

The staff were troubled and surprised by Nan Ning’s application.

They were troubled because they worried the players would be fine while the girl herself cried.

They were surprised because Jiang Yu was the one who approved Nan Ning’s application.

Jiang Yu even said she was suited to being a game master.

Everyone: What makes you think that?...

Sensing a juicy bit of gossip, everyone watched her for a long time. She really did stop screaming the roof off.

They were all puzzled. Could it be that the girl had really stopped being afraid?

But later, the venue got a scenario with a five-star horror rating, and Nan Ning was the game master.

They had installed a camera in the clue-searching room, and when everyone watched the footage, they discovered the truth.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t scared. It was just that whenever she searched for clues, someone held her.

That dog Jiang Yu hugged the girl and kissed her cheek, all while saying,

“Ningning, don’t be scared. If you’re afraid, just hug me.”
