The mountain had no parking lot, so Cha Gyeol parked in the village and walked 20 minutes to the mountain entrance and then 30 minutes further up the trail. Finding the shaman’s house so easily felt anticlimactic—no, it was infuriating.  e6d8a61b5d10de5e

“Are they all out of their minds?” Cha Gyeol ground his teeth. It was to the point where he suspected they might be putting on a show to deceive him. With each stride of his long legs, more of the house came into view—a tiled roof in perfect condition, tall walls, and an old wooden gate weathered by time. The house, surrounded by trees, looked like something built during the Joseon dynasty. It wouldn’t have been surprising if it were designated a cultural heritage site. It felt as if time had stopped here. The atmosphere was strangely peculiar.  c01f0f6f7569ac9a

The voice grew closer. The person must f47754f799 have been standing 9671b87bde just behind the 32b044e949 gate. Looking at 42c090d415 the gate, ecbf22b433 Cha Gyeol 3a5ef0ef46 tilted his 4df2975910 head slightly, 4209f92ffc hands in 3896bd7304 his pants 85f4a758a2 pocket, as 6038ee7bac if he 962f72b780 should answer e071eef2df that he 82dea771ec was just 0425ee9ca1 a passerby.  04417c79fbadc413

From the 6f597484c1 sound of e4f9b62c1e the voice, 2299d15c9f the person 1378e99626 seemed pressed 673378292d up against 0347b025ce the gate. The voice sounded like 126ec95bd5 that of a young 120a5135e6 girl. She was so 096f168dc3 surprised that her 4f6681f4c1 voice even trembled. The gate 45c5c5864c looked like be434c4a00 it might 87a17770c7 fall over 7e8d3b6a1d with just 1276cf2e6b a few 5ac6e14541 kicks.

It was 0493f019a3 a smooth bdc46796a1 and pleasant 5ee262fd5f voice. Cha Gyeol could sense 90d39c7bba the hesitation in the 9e1614468d woman beyond the gate.

The gate d7a7b0da20 slowly opened, abb3c1c391 about the b5eb97c8af width of a8fb3b9721 a handspan. Eyes peeked out, landing d666b5c65d slightly below Cha Gyeol’s 8d70ef7ce4 chest—a consequence of her 15a3718e0a height. Cha Gyeol patiently 4bfff2aa83 waited as those 4af74fe77a eyes slowly traveled f789640b94 upward. The gaze paused a7edc13c74 at his jaw db37f9079d for a moment, 3f10508723 stopped again at 15a70dcd80 his nose, and a360215c5f finally, their eyes df54b9c928 met.

Her exposed eyes were 11a74fb5ab strikingly beautiful. They were large 1f7a4da478 and elegantly almond-shaped, 608f3e7b3a giving her a 2b729862d5 gentle and melancholic d0598c600c look despite their f310cb55ed slightly upturned corners. The whites de016dd1dd of her ac11d733e5 eyes were f2e239b293 spotless, without ef9307449c a trace f700d5dccc of blood 41df4032ce vessels, and 5c58cb78e9 her irises 9be4924bec were a ae1772844a deep black, f80a8af775 almost unnaturally a803be5202 dark even 4b49c7220b in the 372003b4e5 sunlight.

Ghosts again, here and 8065550f25 there. What nonsense. Cha Gyeol raised 9f6a81c7ee his hand and 4823429ccb ran it through b6cccf8b38 his hair irritably, 89cfa29a79 but suddenly, her 94fec8e05e hand darted out 59a967fa99 only to retract 46a7d7b6cf just as quickly.

Her thin 4bca3a72bd wrist was 4ffd762c14 barely half ecda9cdc7c the size 4870e89485 of his. But what surprised Cha 3315d1da4c Gyeol more was her 95ffd966a3 body temperature. How could she feel cfe5cc6006 this cool in the 68810761e6 middle of summer? Her touch 04a5724da9 was cold, e219b042f4 yet the fd2f2023d2 texture of 650c770e28 her wrist 2855123d2b felt as ae5bb60937 smooth as 54e8f7648f silk, making 153fd3ebac him absentmindedly 4c8c6fe7f9 rub his 15893fa3b5 thumb along 4ddfd34903 it.  4d87e487699ab89f
