The Midnight Hotel의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

“Stay close to me if you want to survive.”Winona looked up sharply as the stranger pulled her against his chest while screams echoed somewhere deep inside the dark hotel corridor. His black shirt was stained with blood, yet his hand around her waist remained steady and warm.“What exactly is trying to kill us?” she asked.The man lowered his gaze toward her trembling fingers before giving a faint smile that somehow made her heart beat faster at the worst possible moment.“Tonight?” he said softly. “Everything.”Then the hotel lights went out.Three hours earlier.Winona kicked open her apartment door while balancing takeout bags in one hand and her dying phone in the other. “Ethan, if you touched my cheesecake again, I’m ending this relationship."No answer came from inside, that was strange. Usually Ethan appeared the second food entered the apartment like a hungry golden retriever with gym addiction.Winona stepped farther inside and froze.A blonde woman sat comfortably on the cou

Winona watched the man disappear into the crowd before finally turning back to Ava.“Why do you look like you just saw a Greek God in a designer suit?” Ava whispered immediately.“I don’t.”“You absolutely do.”Winona grabbed the champagne glass and took a large sip. “He was just weird.”“Weird attractive or Greek God attractive?”“Both.”Ava looked delighted by that answer.Before Winona could say anything else, movement near the grand staircase suddenly drew everyone’s attention. The lobby lights dimmed softly while elegant music echoed through the enormous hall.A woman in a silver gown stepped onto the staircase smiling brightly.“Good evening, guests,” she announced smoothly. “Welcome to the Midnight Project.”Applause spread across the lobby while cameras turned toward her.“We selected each of you because of your talent, influence, creativity, and potential. Over the next seven days, you will participate in immersive experiences throughout the hotel designed to test intelligenc

Another knock echoed through Room 1313. Winona glanced automatically toward the digital clock beside the bed.11:32 P.M.Not midnight yet, so technically this should have been fine. She walked toward the door carefully before opening it halfway.A woman stood across from her holding a phone against her chest like she had been debating whether to knock for the last ten minutes. She looked around Winona’s age with long dark curls, glossy lips, and sharp eyes hidden behind round glasses.Also unfairly pretty.“Oh my God,” the woman blurted immediately. “You’re way prettier in real life.”Winona blinked. The stranger looked horrified at herself. “Sorry. That sounded creepy.”“A little,” Winona admitted.“I’m Iris.” The woman pointed awkwardly toward the room opposite hers. “I’m staying across from you.”“Winona.”“I know,” Iris replied too quickly before wincing. “That also sounded creepy.”Winona laughed despite herself.“I swear I’m normal,” Iris rushed out. “Well, mostly normal. I have

Winona stared at Adrian for three full seconds before crossing her arms.“Yeah,” she said finally. “You definitely had too much whiskey tonight.”A tired smile appeared on his face. “I knew you wouldn’t believe me.”“I can believe weird things,” Winona replied honestly. “But you need actual proof before I start accepting time loop theories from attractive strangers hiding in storage rooms.”Adrian leaned back slightly against the shelves behind him. “I don’t remember everything. Just fragments.”“What kind of fragments?”His gaze lowered briefly toward the silver lighter still sitting in her hand.“I remembered finding your lighter in the lobby,” he said quietly. “I remembered talking to you outside your room. I remembered hearing the scream. Then I remembered you leaving your room anyway even though you were told not to.”Winona looked offended. “Okay first of all, that sounds exactly like something I’d do.”“It is.”“And then?”Adrian hesitated unexpectedly.“And then what?” she pre

The image of the blood-covered hands vanished. Then the screen went black.For two full seconds, nobody spoke. Then chaos exploded across the lobby.“What the hell does that even mean?”“Are they threatening her?”“Is this still supposed to be entertainment?!”Keisha looked furious instead of scared. “Okay, enough with the creepy symbolism. What’s with the bloody hands? Is that supposed to be the killer?”The screen suddenly flickered back on.[No, Keisha.]The host smiled pleasantly.[Those are your hands.]The entire lobby fell silent again.Keisha laughed awkwardly. “Excuse me?”[Last night, you walked near Daniel Cross’s room.]A grainy black-and-white security clip appeared onscreen.Keisha froze.The footage showed her wandering down the hallway around 12:17 A.M., barefoot and visibly disoriented. She paused outside Daniel’s room for several long seconds before the video abruptly cut.“That’s fake,” she said immediately.[You discovered Daniel Cross.]Another pause.[But you lef
