“Hey kid, you see ghosts, don’t you?”

“…..”
“Your spiritual eyes are wide open.”
He seemed to have the same gift as Jinok Seonnyeo. Completely seen through by him, I couldn’t even breathe, just blinking my eyes. Cha Beomyeong, having me in the palm of his hand in an instant, his eyes sparkled as if he had discovered something very amusing. Then, he suddenly burst into a smirk.
“You’ve got a crappy fate, kid.”
At those words, the anger I had been holding back surged. I pushed Cha Beomyeong, who was standing right in front of my nose, with all my might and screamed.
“…Damn it, what do you know, mister!”
Cha Beomyeong, pushed back so easily, staggered as if playing around and gave me a small smile.
“But you’re not scared.”
“…..”
“Yeah, you have to be at least that much to live in Taeshindang.”
He gave a light shrug and stood before me, who was still panting with uncontrollable anger. But seriously, is he Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk? How can he be so tall? I’d never seen anyone this tall in my life.
“Kid, what’s all this you’re carrying around?”
“….”
“It’s weighing down your shoulders.”
Then, I felt the pressure that had been weighing down on my shoulders disappear. It was quite surprising.
“…Ah.”
How could this be? My shoulders hadn’t felt light a single time since I started seeing ghosts. As I stared at him with eyes wide as a rabbit’s, Cha Beomyeong shrugged as if to say something like this was easy.
“What did you just do? H-how…”
“I’ll collect my fee for the fortune-telling when you’re older.”
Cha Beomyeong mentioned a fee to the young me, who was frozen in surprise, and then turned his back without any lingering attachment.
“I’m leaving.”
I just blinked blankly at the mysterious sight of his back as he left the garden, his traditional coat fluttering. That was my first encounter with Cha Beomyeong.
