“Yes, you. He has a fierce temper like an angry horse, but you will hold his reins tightly. He is a person of immense wealth and great honor, so enjoy a good life with him.”
When Han Hoseong offered no particular reply, the shaman asked subtly.
“Why? Do you not like it? This is my first time seeing someone who hears they have good spouse luck and doesn’t like it.”
“Ah, it is not that I dislike it. It is just that I have no thoughts of dating or marriage. Since I have great spouse luck, it feels like it will go to waste…… Could we apply that spouse luck somewhere else instead? Like good luck with people, for instance?”
“How could such a thing be possible? Besides, I told you you were born with good luck with people anyway, didn’t I? A lot of good people must gather around you. Though a few weird ones might be mixed in here and there.”
“That is the problem……”
“Still, how great is it to have amazing spouse luck? You never know in life. One day, you might suddenly fall into a fiery love.”
“Haha.”
Hoseong laughed it off roughly.
It seemed even Han Hoseong did not believe every single word from the shaman.
‘Thank goodness he is not a 100% pure idiot.’
Just as Woo Yeongchan was thinking that, the shaman snapped her head toward him and spoke.
“By the way, why are you wearing someone else’s shell?”
In an instant, he felt as if a cold drop of water had rolled down his spine.
Only after a long silence could Woo Yeongchan barely squeeze out his voice.
“……What?”
“That isn’t your shell.”
The shaman said with a curving smile.
A pure sense of curiosity could be felt in her eyes, which were curved like crescent moons.
It did not seem like malicious intent, but Woo Yeongchan felt thoroughly displeased.
Only a moment later did Woo Yeongchan realize that the emotion was none other than fear.
“On what grounds are you saying such a thing? Can you see something?”
He could not accept that he felt fear toward a charlatan shaman.
When he spat back fiercely on purpose, the shaman stared intently at Woo Yeongchan.
Her pupils, dark as black Go stones, glinted brightly.
“The energy of the physical body and the soul are different. But they are remarkably similar. That is likely how you were able to take over that body.”
“……I did not try to take it over. I just woke up one day and it had turned out like this.”
“My, what a pity. I was curious to know how it happened, but now I won’t be able to find out.”
Woo Yeongchan glared at the shaman.
To treat him like some interesting riddle.
Irritation surged within him, but now was not the time to let emotions take the lead.
“I want to know even more, what on earth happened. Do you happen to have any idea?”
“Well, this is my first time seeing a case like this, too.”
“W-Wait a second. What does that mean?”
Han Hoseong cut into the conversation.
It was the seventh day since he had been possessed into Kim Jeguk’s body.
Now that he had finally met someone he could talk to, Han Hoseong’s interference was annoying.
Woo Yeongchan turned to him and spat out.
“I have told you hundreds of times until now. I am not Kim Jeguk. I am Woo Yeongchan!”
“……Were you really possessed into Kim Jeguk?”
“I told you I was!”
Seeing Hoseong’s startled face made Yeongchan even more infuriated.
It would be one thing if he hadn’t said anything, but wasn’t Hoseong the one who hadn’t listened even when he shouted at the top of his lungs?
Woo Yeongchan thudded his fists against his own chest.
“I am going to burst from frustration. Wait, if this body dies, does the soul go back to normal?”
“Why are you saying such scary things? Then where is Zenon’s soul supposed to return to?”
While Woo Yeongchan was huffing with rage, Han Hoseong asked the shaman.
“For Woo Yeongchan, is there no way to change him back?”
Han Hoseong had thought that Woo Yeongchan’s mindset would change if he heard expert advice.
However, the one whose mind actually changed was himself.
He had already felt that Kim Jeguk was strange anyway.
His extremely timid personality had suddenly changed, his mysophobia had disappeared, and even minor habits had been completely flipped.
The overarching premise that Woo Yeongchan had possessed Kim Jeguk’s body was so unrealistic that he hadn’t believed it, but thinking about it now, the situation of Kim Jeguk changing overnight was also quite unrealistic.
With the shaman’s advice added on top of that, Han Hoseong’s heart leaned toward believing Woo Yeongchan’s claim.
“Well now. As I said, this is my first time seeing something like this, too.”
“Do you really have no idea at all? Please tell us anything, no matter what it is. We have to try everything we can.”
“Hmm……”
“Ah! Is it possible to perform an exorcism on Woo Yeongchan?”
“Sh*t, am I an evil spirit?!”
Woo Yeongchan snapped fiercely.
It was already uncomfortable that Han Hoseong had suddenly flipped his attitude, but now he was trying to send him off entirely.
“Then even ascending your spirit……”
“You want me to pass on to the next world?!”
“……”
“Why are you quiet, Han Hoseong? Just now, you thought it didn’t matter as long as you could bring Kim Jeguk back!”
“N-No, it’s not that!”
As if hitting the bullseye, Han Hoseong even waved his hands as he made excuses.
Woo Yeongchan spoke threateningly.
“Just try carelessly sending me to the afterlife. I will haunt you and torment you.”
“Looking at the way he talks, he really seems like an evil spirit, doesn’t he? Teacher, what do you think? Is he a good soul?”
The shaman scanned Woo Yeongchan with mysterious eyes.
“I can tell just one thing. This is not our country’s sorcery.”
“Then?”
“It doesn’t seem to be Japanese or Chinese sorcery either. It looks like Western sorcery, but I don’t know the exact region.”
“Does that mean I have to go to the West to solve this problem?”
At Woo Yeongchan’s question, the shaman answered.
“There is no need to go that far. If you really want to seek help, look for a Western practitioner.”
“Um, would it be difficult for you to give us some help, Teacher?”
This time, Han Hoseong asked.
To that, the shaman shook her head firmly.
“If you want to ask about herbal medicine, you go to an Oriental clinic, and if you want to ask about Western medicine, you go to a Western hospital. What would I know if you ask me?”
“Just what you told us today has been a huge help. Thank you. I was at a complete loss, but thanks to you, we have grabbed a clue.”
When Han Hoseong bowed his head, the shaman grinned.
“My, what polite manners. Things will turn out really well for you, so don’t worry about a thing. I am not saying this based on fortune reading, but because I have lived long enough to know. Kids with polite manners always end up turning out well.”
“Haha, thank you.”
“Well, it seems we have discussed everything, shall we wrap it up?”
“Yes, alright.”
Han Hoseong paid the consultation fee, including Woo Yeongchan’s share.
It was not a small amount, but because it was a consultation worth more than its price, he didn’t feel it was a waste at all.
While leaving the fortune teller’s shop and taking the elevator down, both of them remained silent.
Only after leaving the building and stepping into the bright sunlight did they look at each other face-to-face.
“……What just happened?”
“I don’t know, either.”
It was too complicated in his head to go straight back to the dorm.
Han Hoseong took Woo Yeongchan into a nearby cafe.
Since Woo Yeongchan had no money, Han Hoseong ordered and paid for his share this time as well.
“Ha……”
“Phew……”
Even after sitting down, nothing came out except sighs.
After just fidgeting with his glass, Han Hoseong asked.
“You really are Woo Yeongchan, aren’t you.”
“Yeah. It is a relief that you believe me now, but you seriously need to watch out for scams.”
“Why a scam, all of a sudden?”
“When I yelled until my throat was raw, you couldn’t believe me, but you believe a shaman’s words? Besides, what kind of grand divine secret did you hear that made you nod like that? Don’t go believing words from someone you’re meeting for the first time. Even if you do believe it, don’t make it obvious.”
“Hey, no, that was……”
Looking back on it, he felt embarrassed.
Han Hoseong muttered as if making an excuse.
“She was giving good advice. And when a person is talking, do you nod or shake your head? That is not polite.”
“Politeness or whatever, you looked like a pushover. If you don’t have confidence in managing your facial expressions, don’t get your fortune told at all. Luckily it was a proper shaman this time, but if you get caught by a scammer, it’s obvious you’ll get stripped clean.”
“Why do you say it like that?”
Han Hoseong grumbled in a small voice.
Listening to Woo Yeongchan’s words, it was true that he had acted somewhat naive, making it hard to refute.
More than that, the possession issue was urgent right now.
Han Hoseong leaned his upper body toward Woo Yeongchan.
“What are you going to do now?”
“I have to find a way to return to my own body. It seems I need to start by looking for a Western practitioner.”
“By what means?”
“By digging through the internet or something…… I don’t know, sh*t.”
Woo Yeongchan stopped mid-sentence and messed up his hair.
He looked so deeply troubled that even Han Hoseong couldn’t scold him not to swear this time.
“I don’t want to make you even more depressed……”
“I can’t get any more depressed than this anyway. Fine, just say it.”
“Even if you find a capable practitioner, do you…… have the money to pay them?”
Woo Yeongchan flinched as if sudden brakes had been slammed on him.
He muttered in utter dismay.
“I have no…… money?”
Having lived his whole life without ever worrying about money, Woo Yeongchan was stunned.
Although his current circumstances had changed drastically, even so, wasn’t he an idol?
“I heard you guys blew up with a children’s song. Then didn’t you make a lot of money?”
“Half of that is right and half is wrong. Until now, we had to run our activities by piling up debt, so we had to clear that first. Of course, we received a good amount in settlements, but……”
“……”
“Setting that aside, you don’t know the password to Zenon’s bank account, right?”
Woo Yeongchan spat out a curse through his teeth.
Looking at it now, the real idiot wasn’t Han Hoseong, but himself.
Why hadn’t his mind reached that far?
