I was on my way home at 7 a.m. from my night part-time job at the convenience store. Others were busy going to work. On my way home, I saw a strange museum.
The museum with a shiny neon sign caught my attention and decided to visit the museum for a while.
When I entered the museum, I could not see the staff.
I started watching from the first floor.
The first exhibit was a hat. And the second exhibit was glasses. The third exhibit was gloves. The fourth exhibit was sneakers. And there were other exhibits, but they were all necessary items for life that can be seen around. I came in expecting something special, but they were so ordinary.
I was trying to get out of the museum, but the staff called me up.
"Did you enjoy the display? How is it?" he asked.
"Yes, I saw it. These were daily necessities," I replied.
"These are my inventions, and I'll give you one as a gift. Choose one."
The staff asked me to choose one of the items.
I chose the hat thinking, "I can't believe you gave it to me as a gift, I won't get paid." I needed a hat because of hair loss these days.
I got a hat as a gift and went home. I washed up briefly and laid my tired body on the bed.
I left the house with my hat on to do a part-time job at a convenience store at 3 p.m. But I felt something strange on my way to the convenience store. My bicycle rushed at me and I managed to avoid it. You could see me, but I didn't understand rushing right away.
"Take care of your driving," he shouted at the biker who was moving away.

Arriving at the convenience store, I opened the door and went in. I said to my fellow part-timer, "Hi, good job. I was a little late," but he was surprised and looked around as if he had seen a ghost.
'Am I invisible?' I thought.
I went to the front of the staff and waved.
However, the staff did not respond.
'Did I die and become a ghost?' I panicked, took off my hat, scratching my head and thinking what was going on.
At that time, the employee was suddenly surprised and asked me "when did you come?"
I thought. I found that if I put on a hat, I wouldn't be seen by anyone else.
I realized that museums that felt normal are not ordinary museums.
All the exhibits there are strange and mysterious.
I went there again, but I couldn't see a museum there.
Where in the world does a museum that was full of ordinary but unusual things exist?
