CS Chapter 8

The Cheonsin Bosal, stroking the golden turtle repeatedly, let out another hearty laugh. The fact that the chairman, who held the Korean economy in his hands, listened intently to her every word filled her with constant pride. Moreover, she was now involved in such a crucial matter as his grandson’s marriage, making her already high nose soar even higher.

“Oh, by the way, what should we do with this? Since a bride in a white dress really did appear just as you predicted, there’s no need for it anymore.”

Just then, Taerim pointed to the brand-new white shamanic robes hanging on the wall. The Cheonsin Shaman had ordered them specifically a few days prior.

Slap- A swift, harsh hand flew towards Taerim’s cheek. The stinging impact felt far stronger than one would expect from such a small woman, but Taerim didn’t even let out a groan.

Taerim, flustered, bowed his head repeatedly before the Cheonsin Bosal. Consumed by the thought of having offended her, he trembled and reproached himself excessively.

Taerim began to self-harm, relentlessly striking his forehead against the floor. It was a desperate plea, a way of demonstrating his deep remorse for his mistake.

‘Idiot!’ He thought. Despite being her disciple and receiving her guidance for decades, I’m a complete fool for not understanding her feelings.

The self-flagellation continued for several minutes. The Cheonsin Bosal, however, simply watched without any intention of stopping him, as if this was the appropriate course of action for Taerim.

Taerim vividly remembered the day he was abandoned in front of the shaman’s shrine, a mere ten years old. Unable to believe he had been forsaken by his family, the boy desperately chased after his parents’ car as it descended the mountainside.

Even with his shoes lost and his feet bruised and bloody, Taerim never gave up, crying out for his beloved parents.

Only after tripping on a rock and tumbling across the dirt ground, nearly to the point of death, did Taerim finally accept the horrific truth: his beloved family had abandoned him.

He huddled beneath a large tree, knees drawn to his chest, crying for what felt like an eternity. Hoping it was a dream he could wake from, he pinched himself mercilessly and even bit his tongue until it bled.

However, his self-inflicted pain only brought agonizing discomfort; reality refused to transform into a dream.

The mountain, shrouded in darkness, was utterly eerie. Every hoot of a distant owl sent shivers down Taerim’s spine. It felt as though ghosts were calling him to join them.

It was the Cheonsin Bosal who reached out to the boy, cornered at the edge of despair. Of course, he hadn’t been compliant from the start. Taerim vehemently rejected the woman’s outstretched hand, his eyes bloodshot as he screamed. It was audacious, utterly audacious.

Beyond the cold and hunger, the woman’s words about becoming prey for wild animals chilled the boy to the bone. In the end, Taerim’s only option was to follow the Cheonsin Bosal.

The Cheonsin Bosal provided Taerim with basic food, clothing, and shelter, assigning him chores like cleaning and housekeeping. For the first month, he cried incessantly, unable to accept his reality, and was often severely beaten with a broom.

But humans are adaptable creatures. As the days turned into weeks, then months, and eventually years, Taerim gradually began to forget the faces of his heartless parents. The once talkative and lively child, like other children his age, became withdrawn and silent, refusing to speak to anyone but the Cheonsin Bosal.

It was only natural. Few people ever visited the shrine deep in the mountains. Even if someone did, they mostly spoke only to the Cheonsin Bosal before leaving.

After receiving his “Shinnaerim²” at the age of eighteen, Taerim became blindly devoted to the shaman, willing to feign death at her command. For the orphaned boy abandoned by his heartless parents, the Cheonsin Bosal became his god, his savior, and the object of his awestruck reverence.

“Oh, I’m so sorry, Bosal-nim. Please forgive me.”

The thought of disturbing the Bosal-nim’s (Buddhist shaman/deity) peace of mind was utterly unacceptable. Although Taerim had turned twenty-three and was no longer a boy, he heaved his large body and sobbed like a child.

Toward Taerim, Cheonsin Bosal suddenly uttered a subtle voice. It was entirely different from when she would scold him fiercely.

Once again, the Bosal’s gaze sharpened. Taerim usually referred to the Bosal as Teacher, but there was one unique moment when the title changed. It was precisely now.

She nodded contentedly and lit incense. It was an aphrodisiac that was said to arouse a man’s lust.

The Bosal fanned herself, as if feeling hot, and threw off her ritual robe. She smiled slyly with her wrinkled mouth and grabbed her drooping breasts. Watching this, Taerim’s pupils also lost focus and wandered.

The Bosal had begun using Taerim as her plaything after he started puberty. Deep in the mountains, where no man could reach, she would often relieve her loneliness through Taerim.

When the shaman first entered Taerim’s room, Taerim did not understand what was happening to him, and just gasped for breath.

For the boy abandoned by his parents, there was no other choice, not even in this dreadful moment. He simply had to throw himself for the Cheonsin Bosal, as if that was the only right thing to do. That was all there was to it.
