Seong Ga-eul (1) ― Hanmaeum Salvation Church 1st floor ‘Unbeliever’s floor’

“Woah, you inferior non-believers! Everybody, you all have to die! Please pray! This means praying with all your heart!”

Yoon Ah-young’s hysterical voice echoed in the prayer room on the first floor.

It was easy to listen to Jung Shin-woo’s bullshit that started on the first day, but Yoon Ah-young, who started pacing around the statue with an anxious face the next day, was different.

She didn’t stop verbally abusing and assaulting us as if she was relieving her stress.

“Ugh! Ah, Ahyoung!”

“Boo, the same year as Bulyeosi! Oh, because it looks like a fox! Ooh, my brother!”

While she was struggling, Yoon Ah-young began to step on Kim Eun-byeol.

Seo Taesan simply lowered his head and closed his eyes without any counterattack.

Three days have already passed since Seong Ga-eul left to persuade Han Gu-won.

Lee Gyeong-min, who had already been recognized as a believer, and Jung Shin-woo next to him were just watching Yoon A-young.

“Woah, you inferior bitch! More, dirty bitch! I’ll follow you, even if it’s a strong mountain or something! ”

“Yoo, Yoon A-young! Stop it!”

Kim Eun-byeol, who couldn’t bear it anymore, grabbed Yoon A-young’s leg, and her expression instantly froze.

“What are you doing, ordinary believers?”

“Yes, yes! Oh, you dirty unbelieving bitch! The saint’s ankle!”

Powok-

“Wow! Tae, Taesan! Taesan! Help me!”

I could tell without having to open my eyes.

Kyung-min Lee and Jung Shin-woo must be stepping around Kim Eun-byeol, who has made her body into a circle.

Seo Taesan did not turn his head even in the face of such a cruel sight.

I knew about Seong Ga-eul’s plan because I heard it from Kim Eun-byeol.

If he fails to persuade Han Gu-won, he has a half-hearted plan to escape by any means necessary, as he will be holding him captive somehow.

He also shook his head at Kim Eun-byeol’s plan to suppress those secret people.

It kept coming back to me every time I tried to rebel even a little.

That bastard, no, his eyes.

Those eyes that looked down indifferently as he lowered his shoulder.

No matter how hard I tried, I was able to understand the meaning of his eyes as he gradually fell to the ground.

It was similar to the way he looked down at ants when he was young.

Eyes of contradiction that felt both superiority and pity as he watched the ant struggling and dying without being able to get away from lightly spitting spit.

As I knelt down, I felt myself getting smaller and smaller.

Seo Taesan could instinctively feel that someone was always on top of him.

Even if we resist further, only more miserable results will follow.

Poop- poop-

“That’s enough.”

“Mandibular― Lower jaw― Lower jaw―”

Rather, the hitting sound stopped along with the breathing sounds of Jung Shin-woo and Lee Kyung-min, who seemed to be more exhausted.

“It’s meal time. Eat each grain of rice with gratitude for the blessings of the religious leader.”

It was only then that Seo Taesan quietly raised his head.

Hearing Yoon Ah-young’s words, I saw two people hurriedly going to the table and bringing food.

Lee Gyeong-min handed over the two rice balls that belonged to Seo Tae-san and Kim Eun-byeol as if tossing them.

Seo Tae-san, who barely managed to catch it without spilling it, helped Kim Eun-byeol, who was still crouching, to her feet.

“Tae, Taesan.”

“Wake up, librarian. It’s time to eat.”

As I handed Kim Eun-byeol the rice ball, I saw the congregation’s busy table.

Bulgogi, pork rice bowl, and kimchi stew filled the table.

And steaming white rice.

Seo Taesan looked at his rice balls while watching Lee Gyeong-min setting up the believers’ cutlery.

Envy and misery came flooding back.

“What are you doing? You’re not just going to eat up the cult leader’s grace, are you?”

Yoon Ah-young’s eyes shot at Seo Tae-san like a laser.

“… I praise the leader for giving me my daily bread.”

“I praise the religious leader who gave me my daily bread.”

“Go ahead and eat it. After gulping down your food like a pig, you should reflect and pray again.”

As Yoon Ah-young nodded in satisfaction and lifted the spoon, Lee Kyung-min and Shin Woo-woo started making noises.

A chewing sound that is different from the chewing of chewy rice balls.

The sound of warm meat and sticky rice going down my throat made my eyes heat up once again.

And then, the whisper that had been growing deep beneath me raised its head.

‘Wouldn’t it be a better choice to just believe in Him than to stay like this anyway and die?’

‘If it’s going to be done so favorably, is there any reason not to risk your life and trust it?’

‘I heard everyone has their own room and sleeps in a bed, but why do I have to sleep on the cold floor?’

As if it were a forced learned gesture, Seo Taesan’s head turned towards the stone statue of the religious leader.

The face of the religious leader, along with the strangely shining white marble, seemed to be asking himself.

‘What do you wish for?’

At the question that rang like thunder, Seo Taesan threw his rice balls and prostrated himself in front of the stone statue.

“… Taesan?”

Kim Eun-byeol’s surprised question was not heard by him.

Seo Taesan let out the desire deep inside him as if he were crying.

“I want to live, leader! Just eat and sleep without thinking! I want to live without worrying about zombies!”

Thump-thump-

My forehead hit the floor violently.

A trickle of blood flowed from his broken forehead.

‘It’s okay. ‘Everything is okay, Taesan.’

Hearing the statue’s benevolent voice, Seo Taesan looked up at the statue blankly.

‘I will be your fence, and you will have a worry-free day. I will fill you and free you from the fear of death forever.’

“Aaaaa! thank you! Thank you, leader!”

“Tae, Taesan! Wake! What are you doing!”

The soft voice continued to resonate in Seo Taesan’s weakened heart.

‘There is no good deed without a price. Taesan, I will ask only one thing from you. ‘Do you know what that is?’

The voice of the stone statue entangled Seo Taesan’s body like a snake.

Seo Taesan’s eyes, which were shaking back and forth, were filled with joy.

“No! all! Please take it all! Me, I am infinitely inferior! I’ll give you my all, please! Please just take it away!”

As if answering the desperate voice, Seo Taesan’s body sparkled with light.

As the light slowly faded, a white Shinto uniform was handed to Yoon A-young on the stairs.

After seeing the small letter and the Shinto uniform, Yoon Ah-young carefully raised the body of Seo Tae-san, who was still pressing his forehead to the ground.

“Wake up, brother.”

“Ah, ahhh! Holy woman!”

Seo Tae-san, who kept trying to kneel, was stopped by Lee Gyeong-min and Jung Shin-woo with bright smiles.

“Brother, you have finally found your light!”

“Ahh, brothers, I-I was so foolish.”

“It’s okay! We are now a family within one fence. Now, hurry up and prove your purity.”

Seo Tae-san, who held Shin Jung-woo’s Shinto robe in his arms as if he was thrilled, began to take off his clothes without hesitation.

“Don’t wear it! Taesan! Don’t wear that!”

The same thing that happened to Lee Gyeong-min was happening to Seo Tae-san.

Ignoring Kim Eun-byeol’s pleas, Seo Tae-san changed into his Shinto clothes with his now pure naked body.

“Now, let’s go!”

Following the brothers’ guidance, Seo Taesan sat down at the table.

Steaming white rice and a sumptuous side dish.

Seo Tae-san’s face was filled with emotion when he saw believer Lee Gyeong-min kindly handing him a spoon.

“Thank you.”

“Wow, our Taesan brother was a crybaby.”

“Hahahahaha―”

In contrast to the harmonious dining table, Kim Eun-byeol, who had a vain expression on her face, called out to Seo Tae-san.

“Tae, Taesan! What are you doing! Come to your senses!”

“Everyone, shut up! You dirty unbelieving bitch!”

“… What?”

Since joining Kang San, Seo Tae-san has always taken the lead in difficult tasks, and was a dependable person whose actions speak louder than words.

He was wearing a pure white Shinto uniform and spitting with a disdainful expression, criticizing himself.

“Where did the inferior prostitute, who always meddled behind her back, end up in front of a saintly woman…? Are you doing that because you really want to die?”

“Uh, uhhh… .”

Yoon Ah-young stopped Seo Tae-san, who stood up as if he was going to hit her at any moment, with a benevolent smile.

“Be patient, Brother Taesan. The grace of a precious religious leader is tarnished by the dirty words of an unbeliever.”

“I’m sorry, saint!”

“Tae, Taesan… … .”

The happy meal resumed with Kim Eun-byeol’s low voice ending.

Every time the well-seasoned pork and bulgogi were served on top of Seo Taesan’s rice, tears of emotion flowed from Seo Taesan’s eyes.

The brothers just smiled softly as they continued to place side dishes on Seo Taesan’s rice.

In fact, Seo Tae-san, who had had a decent meal for the first time in a very long time, knelt down as soon as Yoon A-young stood up.

“Wake up, brother.”

Yoon Ah-young handed something to Seo Tae-san, who carefully got up.

“… What is this?”

It was a camcorder that was turned on.

Seo Tae-san’s eyes widened as the camcorder flashed a red circle, as if signaling the start of video recording.

“The leader is waiting in the new Seotaesan believer’s room on the second floor. Please do your best to help.”

“Yes, saint!”

“And… .”

Yoon Ah-young slowly bit her lip and lowered her voice.

“Please report to me the status of the Bulyeosinnyeon that captured the religious leader.”

“Boo, would you like it?”

“Yes. Now, hurry up and go up.”

At Yoon Ah-young’s congratulatory message, Seo Tae-san went up the stairs holding a camcorder.

I stood in front of the most recently built room among the long rooms on the second floor.

[Seotaesan Ordinary Believers]

The moment I quietly knocked on the door with a proud sense of satisfaction, the sound in the room began to echo.

“Haaang― Haan― Haan―”

“You two bitches! Aren’t you putting pressure on your pussy? Like I said, now you have two fingers in your ass!”

“Haaa! Don’t put it in! Wow, it’s torn! It’s torn!”

“Sitaesan ordinary believer! Come into the room!”

The leader’s voice was heard along with a familiar woman’s scream.

Gulp-

Seo Taesan quenched his thirst from nervousness and carefully opened the door.
