I am Chantal, and my story is just beginning. One day, a text message appeared on my phone: "Congratulations, you have been accepted as a housekeeper at Garden Black Resort. You may start tomorrow. However, you must follow the rules. First, no going out after six in the evening, and all doors must be closed. Second, you must not let anyone in, not even relatives. Third, you are allowed to go to town on Sundays to buy essential items or things. Fourth, do not enter the fifth room. Fifth, do not disobey the rules. Thank you very much." Everything started with this text. Garden Black Resort is no ordinary place. It's located in the middle of the forest, near a lake that seems to have no end. The salary here is enough for me to treat my grandfather's illness-one reason I immediately accepted the job. As a caretaker and housekeeper at the resort, I couldn't help but break some of the rules. Each violation felt like a step closer to getting fired. But with every mistake, I discovered something. A deep secret from the past that hides within the walls of the resort. There are whispers, shadows in the dark, and hints that I don't understand. The fifth room, the forbidden place, seems to hide a great mystery. What could be inside? Why does it need to be hidden from everyone? In my attempt to find out the truth, I get closer to danger. Some things are better left hidden, but my curiosity doesn't leave me alone. Should I run and leave everything behind? Or face the truth and find out the secret of Garden Black Resort? With each passing day, the mystery deepens. The rules seem to have a deeper meaning than I thought. And I, Chantal, am ready to face any danger to find out the truth.
