Mrs. Kim, who had recently gone to Palbang Seonnyeo, a popular shaman in Samcheong-dong, to check her son’s compatibility with Hwang Sun-jeong, forced a guilty smile and tried to appease the great shaman.3735d3822faada4b

The scent-filled air of the shrine swirled with the light breeze created by the fluttering fan. Mrs. Kim nodded her head vigorously, confirming the shaman’s guess. After fanning herself leisurely for a long while, the great shaman abruptly folded her fan and tossed it onto the table.d035e1f03e4fc5fc

The great 1f85d71b46 shaman began a556303b66 praising her 27f5092ceb apprentice, counting dedb52e074 off on a8c0136689 her fingers.
“He’s precise, quick-witted, eloquent, reasonably smart, and, most importantly, has an extraordinary talent for seeing spirits. He even chats with them like they’re friends.”967312e68df8c12a

Even with such high praise for her apprentice, many clients had reactions similar to Mrs. Kim’s. However, none had ever complained about the results—if anything, they were always satisfied. The great shaman had never seen anyone more naturally gifted in exorcism than Shin-hee.523c59b262b0f799

Unlike others who treated spirits as nuisances or mere entities to be subdued, Shin-hee retained his compassion and treated them as if they were still human. Unlike the hereditary shamans who treated spirits like unapproachable monsters, Shin-hee’s approach was much more humane, something the great shaman greatly admired.6b4086a000e896e8

Convinced at last, Mrs. Kim pulled 23722b3ddc out a 52dfac3d69 small business a502a59bc6 card from 152faa3c47 her wallet 38e324b566 and handed 6583f7c3ba it over.

With sharper eyes cb34f9f2a2 than usual, the 228af26bfd shaman gave Mrs. Kim a parting admonition 55919be0a1 as she stepped over 2a7b01cbe8 the threshold.
“Don’t go wandering into strange places. It’s not about whether they’re skilled or not. If you go to the wrong place, you might bring misfortune and attach even more evil spirits to yourself!”a2b32143a486756c

Over the 7b29cc253a past few 3f886f9dee years of 10ea7e0ad6 training under c3927180b8 the great 2fece082ea shaman, Shin-hee 38bd175356 had traveled 469af00fcf all over d114d7fd0e the country, 926e3734a3 visiting abandoned c32fdc8d2a houses, schools, 77674b4a17 hospitals, and 442bdb8645 railways. Any place prefixed with e43f2c1e18 “abandoned” was a destination 43c12e343a he was inevitably sent 858eac4980 to.19b698b81354ce33

Properly maintained cemeteries 5e9623fa5d were much calmer, 77eba6538f with relatively subdued 2293ffbbde spirits. In contrast, abandoned places 8de2a1925d were dark, damp breeding 703e0989f9 grounds for malevolent entities, b47061e75d making them several times d4ff3b5b96 more dangerous. In cases 67f188a653 where the 975131209e malevolent presence a113ea7aa0 was too 848e1595cc strong or 173d5caaad numerous, Shin-hee 638ffd93e4 often had 9dc49d85d5 to perform cbd7235869 small rituals 150799f6e3 to appease c137043eef the local c6b56b2e50 guardian spirits 2304c0c46f and avoid 27df181a1f unnecessary risks.0b7ac00b95bed702

“You’re not too busy these days, right? There’s an assignment for you.”267b95172b47ad73

As usual, 2a8111a4dd Shin-hee was 9c971abcd9 sitting on 9da1b86b2e the veranda, de031fc38f gently stroking 5448dc4434 the spirit 4ce0dc2e65 of a a9dce89c60 child clinging 66aa5924cc to his a9cc271026 waist while 80a2447943 sketching in daded2d2be good spirits. Called unexpectedly by d960cbcb53 the great shaman, 2313d0aaad he didn’t even d79ed0b0c0 notice the child cdea6fb26e spirit scribbling on c41f9b6a37 his sketchbook.b19bcc9e415ac27d

“I just came back from Jeju Island and nearly died there…”edce4de1c309ff0d

Groaning in exhaustion, ac89d163ba Shin-hee tried to 56a14edce9 appeal to his 23f3d6ddc6 mentor, but the 8b86ac51ea great shaman remained f24c48706a unmoved.

The shaman gave her innocent-looking apprentice a long, assessing stare before muttering to herself, “He should be fine,” and tossing him the business card Mrs. Kim had left behind. Then she disappeared into the inner room, leaving Shin-hee puzzled.66d09772aa7d8042

The child 87d450af0e spirit, having 1d449ef262 finished its d6026de2b5 scribbling, proudly d514ee62db held up 77abaecd85 the sketchbook 2cbb526f2a and beamed 52b2cbe4a1 at Shin-hee.

Haimevel Hotel President, 1889f8a83d Ha Won-pyo.3151b4859ede5c6b

Having barely recovered from c1099cdf8a the grueling ordeal in a0f6c0f4ea Jeju Island last week, e8be19ec5e Shin-hee was now being 6f64efebae sent to a foreign 71f157810d country where he didn’t e5b478dfc0 even speak the language.

Groaning in frustration, eab0edd187 Shin-hee stared at 4cc374de8e the business card dbee9aae10 for over an 67c7627c96 hour, sighing repeatedly. Japan? The mere thought made 178dfd8cfd him roll onto the bd67dc8ff2 floor in resignation.443047ca9745abff

His last 628048acc9 trip to 6be9d23c91 Jeju Island, 1a130fb7fd despite being 095a2afc2c only three 54b1a73fe6 days long, 4a8b2b84dc had felt 7dc339acf5 like an 098408077f eternity.
