Do you believe in the existence of God?

Not just Jesus or Buddha, but gods of various religions.

According to public opinion polls, the proportion of atheists in Korea is about 30 percent.

When I was young, Jinwoo Kim didn’t believe that God existed. Because I have never seen Buddha or Jesus with my own eyes.

But now that I am a high school student, I believe that God exists. I couldn’t believe it when a fairy possessed the body of my childhood friend who received a divine gift. Even atheists have no choice but to change their minds after seeing the beautiful fairy with their own eyes.

God’s name is Hongryeon.

She was a fairy revered in shamanism.

Hongryeon just took over Sarah’s body and took a picture with me.

It was a kind fairy who even took a commemorative photo with a high school boy.

“Was it a fairy who took a picture with me?”

“That’s it! The timing of the call was perfect.”

To be exact, Hongryeon came while Sarah and I were taking pictures alone. Exquisitely, it seemed like Hongryeon was possessed the moment Sarah pressed the photo button. Sarah’s cell phone showed Hongryeon, not her, on it.

The face of the same high school girl was taken, but the atmosphere was so different that it was easy to recognize who it was. The silver-haired high school girl in the photo was smiling so warmly that it could even melt ice. Just looking at the photo made me feel like my heart was being healed.

The timing of the call wasn’t that bad.

Sarah and I were investigating a strange phenomenon that occurred on a movie set.

There was nothing better than getting help from Hongryeon.

I guess I’ll have to ask a favor quickly.

“Fairy. We were working now. A strange boy appears on a movie set… .”

“Oh, did you? Let me read your memory once.”

There was no need to explain in detail what I was doing.

Because Hongryeon was able to read Sarah’s memories.

“Ohh.”

Hongryeon touched her forehead with her finger and recited in a sonorous voice what had happened so far.

“The pale-skinned boy was interfering with the filming. So Jinwoo and his younger brother received the request and came to the filming set. But Jinwoo was given the job of acting as a double for the male lead.”

“Yes.”

“Oh… . Have you ever tried jumping out of a window? Jinwoo is amazing!”

“Keuhm.”

“Well done, Jinwoo.”

Hongryeon reached out on tiptoe and stroked my head. It’s like an older sister praising her younger brother as if she were proud of him.

━━Swoosh Swoosh

I felt embarrassed because I felt like I was being treated like a younger brother. Jumping from a three-story height wouldn’t be that special to a fairy.

“So, can you help me?”

“Let me look into the future for a moment. I hope I can tell Jinwoo and his younger brother a helpful prophecy.”

Hongryeon could predict the future. It was a very specific prophecy compared to the vague prophecies given by other shamans who practice fortune telling. I was curious so I asked Hongryeon.

“Can the fairy see the entire future? Do you know what will happen and when?”

“I don’t know everything, and if I try hard, I can see fragments of the future. It is an imperfect future where things can change at the moment of foresight.”

“Is it incomplete?”

“For example, say you saw a future where someone dies. But if I tell you a prophecy and Jinwoo saves someone from death, the future will change. So it is incomplete.”

Does the future change the moment Hongryeon makes a prediction?

Although it was an imperfect future, it was a helpful prophecy for me. If you predict that someone will definitely die, there is no point in going to help them. It seemed more helpful than an absolute prophecy.

“… Oh wait a minute.”

Hongryeon, who was speaking, suddenly closed her eyes.

With her eyes closed, Hongryeon began to predict the future.

“An accident will happen tonight. A boy with a pale face will appear on the set.”

A boy with a pale face.

It was the strange phenomenon we were looking for. As soon as I heard the prophecy, my heart started pounding. I held my breath for fear that I might disturb Hongryeon.

“The boy slowly approaches Yuki. The boy has a thin knife in his hand. Yuki finds the boy and screams.”

“… … .”

“This is all I saw.”

Hongryeon opened her eyes.

Only then was I able to talk to Hongryeon.

It was a fairly serious situation.

“The boy is holding a thin knife? Are you going to stab Yuki with that?”

“I didn’t even see the stabbing. Still, I don’t think the child has any good intentions.”

“Probably so. There’s no way I’m carrying a knife for no reason.”

The victim who appeared in Hongryeon’s Premonition was the idol Yuki. A boy holding a thin knife was going to approach Yuki and act threateningly.

It is not an accident that can happen at any time, but an accident that will happen tonight.

There was a way to prevent the accident.

We knew exactly that the victim was Yuki. If I lurked around Yuki tonight, I would be able to catch the boy.

“This time too, thanks to the fairy, I can save someone’s life.”

“It’s not confirmed yet that you can be saved, so don’t let your guard down.”

If I caught the boy with Sarah, I could solve the request.

I was going to say goodbye to Hongryeon.

“Goodbye.”

“… … .”

“Next time you come, I will make something delicious and offer it as an offering.”

Last time, Hongryeon made a prophecy and left Sarah’s body.

I thought it was Sarah and I’s role to solve the case ourselves.

But for some reason, Hongryeon did not accept the goodbye.

“Ugh.”

“What are you doing when you’re not going?”

“There is still quite a bit of time left to contact you. I think I can stay in this world until dawn tomorrow.”

“Yes… ? Last time, he prophesied and left right away.”

“The time when the connection is released also varies from time to time. Today is a bit long.”

In fact, not only the timing at which Sarah’s contact began but also the maximum amount of time it could be maintained was random. In the longest case, Princess Hongryeon could stay in this world for a day.

Hongryeon was able to stay in this world until dawn tomorrow.

What this meant was that Hongryeon could directly help catch the boy.

Hongryeon looked worried for a moment.

“What should we do, Jinwoo? Should I just go back or not? This time I can help you directly.”

“If the fairy helps us directly, wouldn’t our karma be wasted?”

“You can help in moderation without using a lot of work. It is possible because there is plenty of time.”

Hongryeon was able to use mysterious power by consuming the karma that Sarah and I had accumulated.

Before I could make a decision, Hongryeon made her own decision.

Hongryeon looked at me with a smile.

“I’ll just stay! I want to be with Jinwoo.”

“Okay.”

In the end, the partner I would be working with tonight was Hongryeon, not Sarah.

We waited on set until the incident occurred.

*

The current time is 9 PM.

After filming was over, it was time for the staff to clean up after themselves at Seongwoon High School. Everyone was busy putting away the props and cameras used today. It was dark and there was a chaotic atmosphere at the filming site.

Me and Sarah.

… … .

No, this is not it.

I thought wrong because I was always hanging out with Sarah.

‘Me and Hongryeon’ were watching Yuki. Because tonight a suspicious boy will appear to threaten Yuki.

Although filming is over, Yuki has not yet left Nebula High School.

Yuki was practicing reading the script in the back of the school building when no one was there. It seemed like they were rehearsing the scene they were going to film next time in advance.

Judging by the fact that he chose a place without people to practice, it seemed like he wanted to concentrate. Yuki’s acting skills were already lacking.

Yuki’s voice rang out from behind the building.

“Jihoon… I feel like I’ve been bitten by a zombie. What should I do?”

In , Yuki appears as the male protagonist’s girlfriend. The male protagonist worked hard to find Yuki, but Yuki had already been bitten by a zombie. Yuki, who is slowly turning into a zombie, sobs in front of the male protagonist.

It was a story like this, I guess?

Yuki practicing is a sad scene.

“What should I do? Huh.”

But what should I say?

There was no particular sense of extreme sadness in Yuki’s voice. She just looked like a girl who had been bitten by a bug and was making a fuss. Even though it’s just practice, it’s too much acting.

We were hiding behind a tree near the school building, watching Yuki practice.

Hongryeon, who was watching Yuki, whispered to me.

“Jinwoo. I think this movie will be a hit.”

“Yes?”

what is this sound.

The female lead’s acting is like that, so how can it be a hit?

“Isn’t that too positive? Honestly, I think the movie will fail.”

“I, Yuki, have great luck this year. I have the great fortune to succeed and succeed in whatever I do.”

“Can a fairy see other people’s luck?”

“Sometimes I get that feeling when I see someone who is extremely lucky.”

Hongryeon said that the movie would actually be a hit thanks to Yuki. I couldn’t understand it, but since it was what a fairy said, I had to do it.

In reality, what Hongryeon said was never wrong.

After a while, a boy with a pale face appeared near Yuki. The boy who jumped over the fence and entered the school had the same face as the one captured on the camera. He was wearing a hoodie tightly pressed down.

“There I am, Mr. Jinwoo.”

“Yes.”

Hongryeon’s prophecy came true.

A boy who looked to be around middle school slowly walked behind Yuki. I saw a cutter knife in the boy’s hand. That was the thin knife Hongryeon saw.

‘wait for a sec… .’

I felt something strange. A boy appeared, but the EMF meter did not respond at all. I had turned it on beforehand, but one or two light bulbs were still twinkling. However, the boy didn’t look like a monster pretending to be human.

‘That boy wasn’t a ghost but a person?’

Clearly that was a person.

I know for sure after meeting him in person.

I felt a tug in my back and quickly ran forward.

“Hey!”

Hearing a loud voice, the boy stopped in his tracks.

Yuki, who had been practicing for a while, also looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“What’s going on, Assistant?”

“Yuki! Look behind you!”

Yuki looked back and immediately let out a gasping sound of surprise.

A pale-faced boy stood behind Yuki. This was the guy who had been causing a ghostly commotion on the filming set.

“Heo Eok.”

“Please rest assured. That’s not a ghost, that’s a person.”

I approached the boy while explaining. Thanks to how quickly I ran, I was standing in the way between Yuki and the boy. The boy looked at me, frowned, and opened his mouth.

“Ah. Fuck.”

“What were you trying to do to Yuki with the box cutter?”

Although it was caught, the boy was rather confident.

“I was trying to get an autograph from Yuki Ling. I’m Yuki’s fan.”

“Crazy.”

The boy was Yuki’s sasaeng fan.

Now we have an estimate as to what was happening on the set. A middle school sasaeng fan was following Yuki around and causing a ghostly commotion.

“Hey! You say you’re a fan, but why are you holding a box cutter?”

“It is a self-defense weapon. It’s cool.”

The boy in the hoodie laughed as he pushed the cutter knife up and down. It smelled. If you ask what it smells like, it’s the smell of second year middle school.

“Hyung! Don’t come closer. Because I’m going to stab you.”

“Who?”

“Me.”

The boy threatened me with a box cutter.

I had no choice but to stop in my seat. The direction the boy was pointing the cutter knife in was himself.

This is truly absurd.

The boy was holding a sharp box cutter to his throat.

Now that kid was threatening with his life.

“Aaagh!”

Yuki behind him screamed.

I said to the boy who was out of his mind.

“Can you stab me?”

“I’m going to stab you! You mean stabbing? This is no joke. If you don’t want to see me die, go away. Don’t disturb Yuki when she and I are alone. How long have I been waiting for Yuki to be alone!”

It was a second year of middle school that surprisingly had no answer.

The boy was so excited that his hands were shaking. I thought he might accidentally slit his own throat if I approached him.

How can I safely subdue that guy?

“Jinwoo. I’ll help you.”

At that time, Hongryeon walked next to me.

I heard they would help, but I’m not sure how they would help.

“How? Are you going to use something like telekinesis like last time?”

“There is a better way than that.”

Hongryeon passed me and approached the excited boy.

The boy shouted at Hongryeon to warn her.

“Don’t come! I told you to stab me! Can’t you see the knife here?”

It was right then.

Hongryeon lightly snapped her fingers.

━━Tak

The boy laughed heartily when he saw that.

“Would you like my pretty sister to show me a magic trick? You’re so good at snapping your fingers!”

The boy laughed and slit his own throat with an object in his hand.

But no blood flowed.

This was because the object the boy was holding to his neck was no longer a box cutter.

Instead of the box cutter he was holding just moments ago, he was holding a flower to his throat.

Something unbelievable happened.

“What, what! Where’s my knife?”

The boy looked at the flower he was holding in his hand with a fascinated expression.

Soft petals pressed against my neck.

The cutter knife turned into a colorful flower.

It felt like everyone here was dreaming.

Hongryeon’s voice rang out softly.

“That’s your sword. You foolish child.”
