Choi Seonwoo stretched lazily before calling out loudly to Kim Youngchan, who was waiting outside. Kim Youngchanโs eyes widened as he saw Seo Jihan, curled up like a pill bug and slapping his head repeatedly. โDonโt worry, heโll be alright soon. Could you fetch some ice water? It could help soothe the headache.โ โAh, yes!โ โThe ice is in the refrigerator in the kitchen on the first floor.โ Kim Youngchan hurried down the stairs. Choi Seonwoo watched Seo Jihan groan, thenโฆ-

โHyungโฆโ Unexpectedly, Seo Jihan made a sound. Using his own voice, not like a childโs, he uttered a term usually reserved for kids. Choi Seonwooโs voice, softly continuing the lullaby, paused momentarily. โWill you really wait for me?โ โWill you stay here and wait for me?โ 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 wasnโt long into their drive onโฆ

The roads were relatively clear of congestion on a weekday afternoon. Though โrelativelyโ is the operative word here since, unless itโs 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. โWhatโs our ETA?โ โ3:45 PM.โ He nodded at the driverโs response. Catching the 4:10 PM ferry seemed perfect. Nam Sangkyung arrived at Sammok Pier exactly atโฆ

With a gruff voice and scratching his graying hair, the village chief abruptly grabbed Choi Seonwooโs arm. โStop the chit-chat and come with me.โ โEh? Where are we going?โ โAh, come on! When an elder tells you to go, you go!โ โBut Iโm an adult too.โ โOh, come on! If I had married early, Iโd have a grandson your age!โ Though puzzled, Choi Seonwoo obediently allowed himself to be led away by the chief. The destination turned out to be the communal dining hall usedโฆ

โHas the situation reversed now?โ Seo Jihan asked, knees planted on either side of Choi Seonwooโs 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 wasnโt to be. Even now, Choi Seonwoo was obsessively hiding hisโฆ

โOh dear, Pastor. You always find a way to sneak in some drinking.โ โWell, I only indulge a little when no one from the congregation is watching. You drink and smoke when no oneโs looking, donโt you?โ Choi Seonwoo nodded in agreement. Catholicism doesnโt 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. โCome on, if you were going toโฆ

โFine, Iโll play along until the ferry leaves. But brother, why do you only use informal speech these days?โ โItโs a sign of closeness.โ โBut Iโm eight years older and always speak to you formally. Shouldnโt you show some courtesy as well?โ โIf it bothers you, feel free to speak informally too. Iโm more comfortable this way.โ The conversation was getting nowhere. Choi Seonwoo was shaking his head in disapproval when suddenly, โAh, Michael Siju-nim!โ Aโฆ

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. โThank you, Father.โ Lee Juhee bowed deeply, followed by her team members who each wore a complex expression. Used to prying into othersโ innermost secrets without permission, their discomfort was understandable. โIf something like this happens again, may we requestโฆ

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 toโฆ

Go Changhyun had just arrived and exchanged brief greetings with Choi Seonwoo before withdrawing all the surveillance personnel to a different floor. โWonโt it be troublesome for the priest if something goes wrong without any witnesses?โ Go Changhyun asked. Frankly, it was hard to trust Choi Seonwoo. Despite being a priest, his young face and peculiar demeanor didnโt inspire confidence. Plus, there was a cat involved. Upon receiving Go Changhyunโs gaze, Angela flattened her ears andโฆ
