Choi Seonwoo stretched lazily before calling out loudly to Kim Youngchan, who was waiting outside. Kim Youngchan’s eyes widened as he saw Seo Jihan, curled up like a pill bug and slapping his head repeatedly. “Don’t worry, he’ll be alright soon. Could you fetch some ice water? It could help soothe the headache.” “Ah, yes!” “The ice is in the refrigerator in the kitchen on the first floor.” Kim Youngchan hurried down the stairs. Choi Seonwoo watched Seo Jihan groan, then…-

“Hyung…” Unexpectedly, Seo Jihan made a sound. Using his own voice, not like a child’s, he uttered a term usually reserved for kids. Choi Seonwoo’s voice, softly continuing the lullaby, paused momentarily. “Will you really wait for me?” “Will you stay here and wait for me?” At last, Seo Jihan seemed relieved, his eyes closing as he relaxed his body. The tension gradually left the bodyguards who had been tensed up as if in battle. It wasn’t long into their drive on…

The roads were relatively clear of congestion on a weekday afternoon. Though “relatively” is the operative word here since, unless it’s the dead of night, Seoul is always bustling with cars. After a whirlwind two hours, Nam Sangkyung, who had been enjoying the view out the car window, glanced at his wristwatch and spoke. “What’s our ETA?” “3:45 PM.” He nodded at the driver’s response. Catching the 4:10 PM ferry seemed perfect. Nam Sangkyung arrived at Sammok Pier exactly at…

With a gruff voice and scratching his graying hair, the village chief abruptly grabbed Choi Seonwoo’s arm. “Stop the chit-chat and come with me.” “Eh? Where are we going?” “Ah, come on! When an elder tells you to go, you go!” “But I’m an adult too.” “Oh, come on! If I had married early, I’d have a grandson your age!” Though puzzled, Choi Seonwoo obediently allowed himself to be led away by the chief. The destination turned out to be the communal dining hall used…

“Has the situation reversed now?” Seo Jihan asked, knees planted on either side of Choi Seonwoo’s waist, leaning forward until their noses were almost touching. Like Choi Seonwoo had done at the beginning of the exorcism, Seo Jihan slightly lifted his eyelids with his thumbs. However, the outcome was starkly different. Seo Jihan was disappointed. He had hoped he might glimpse something in the unconscious state, but it wasn’t to be. Even now, Choi Seonwoo was obsessively hiding his…

“Oh dear, Pastor. You always find a way to sneak in some drinking.” “Well, I only indulge a little when no one from the congregation is watching. You drink and smoke when no one’s looking, don’t you?” Choi Seonwoo nodded in agreement. Catholicism doesn’t explicitly forbid priests from drinking or smoking, but there was still the matter of public image to consider, so they typically only had a modest amount of alcohol in the presence of parishioners. “Come on, if you were going to…

“Fine, I’ll play along until the ferry leaves. But brother, why do you only use informal speech these days?” “It’s a sign of closeness.” “But I’m eight years older and always speak to you formally. Shouldn’t you show some courtesy as well?” “If it bothers you, feel free to speak informally too. I’m more comfortable this way.” The conversation was getting nowhere. Choi Seonwoo was shaking his head in disapproval when suddenly, “Ah, Michael Siju-nim!” A…

Choi Seonwoo advised them in a tone oddly reminiscent of scolding children, then devoutly made the sign of the cross. He mumbled something about Jesus Christ, but honestly, he looked like he just wanted to lie down and sleep. “Thank you, Father.” Lee Juhee bowed deeply, followed by her team members who each wore a complex expression. Used to prying into others’ innermost secrets without permission, their discomfort was understandable. “If something like this happens again, may we request…

Flames engulfed the surroundings in an instant. The stench of sulfur stung the nose mercilessly. The fire, waving eerily like thousands of snakes, seemed to encircle everything. Seo Jihan, feeling powerless as the flames clung to his body, could do nothing but wait. Each time purgatory threatened to consume him, a savior adorned with a golden aura would appear, extend a gentle hand, and repeatedly save him from the brink. Seo Jihan had come to call this figure an angel. It was a secret too bizarre to…

Go Changhyun had just arrived and exchanged brief greetings with Choi Seonwoo before withdrawing all the surveillance personnel to a different floor. “Won’t it be troublesome for the priest if something goes wrong without any witnesses?” Go Changhyun asked. Frankly, it was hard to trust Choi Seonwoo. Despite being a priest, his young face and peculiar demeanor didn’t inspire confidence. Plus, there was a cat involved. Upon receiving Go Changhyun’s gaze, Angela flattened her ears and…
