━━Beep

A beep sounded.

It was the sound of my phone notifying me that the 15-minute timer I had set on the app had ended.

“I will end the conversation now, Mina.”

‘yes.’

We immediately put the whizzerboard away and opened the curtains to brighten the living room. Since I had found out all the information I needed, there was no need to talk to the ghost anymore.

There were two things that had to be done to attain Buddhahood.

Finding Dohyun and Yuri.

Annoy them by swearing for 10 minutes.

If possible, I hope to consecrate him within today.

I didn’t want to carry around the evil spirit that was trying to attack high school boys for a long time.

Sarah suggested that we share the work to do.

“Jinwoo. Please find out where Dohyun and Yuri are doing.”

“What do you do?”

“I’ll prepare the script. If you meet that trash couple, don’t you think you’ll have to swear for about 10 minutes? Can you swear for 10 minutes without any preparation?”

“10분 동안 그냥 개새끼 소새끼만 반복하면 되는 거 아닌가?”

“If you repeat the same curse words, you lack sincerity! Sincerity!”

Does swearing require sincerity?

Sarah was overflowing with motivation now. It seems like they want to properly punish the trash couple who made their childhood friend commit suicide.

“Anyway, you guys are trash! How can I defeat my poor childhood friend?”

Before I could say anything, Sarah turned on her laptop and started preparing the script.

Sarah tapped the keyboard of her laptop as if Mozart had possessed her.

While reading the sharp swear words out loud.

━━Tadadadadadadadadadak

“Hey! You scoundrels of this world. Those of you who abandoned your childhood friend, I will throw you in the sewer of your life. The conscience of those of you who died after being hit by an AK47! there! Is your name Yuri? Is it glass because the idea of chastity is as fragile as glass? YO!”

Sarah writes down the script as if she were possessed.

Sarah’s voice, reading the script in real time, felt like she was doing hip hop. All you had to do was lay down the beat and he was a rapper himself. There was even a detailed section for dissing Dohyun and Yuri.

This was the first time I realized that sincerity can be contained in swear words.

‘Then I guess I’ll have to find out where the trash couple is.’

I turned on the computer in Hyehwadang and began investigating the whereabouts of Dohyeon and Yuri.

There were quite a few clues to track down the man and woman.

Because I saw the actions of the man and woman directly through the illusion.

Seven years ago, Dohyun and Yuri graduated from the Department of Nursing at Hankuk University. After that, Do-hyeon wasn’t sure, but Yuri was working hard to prepare for the national exam to get a nurse’s license. Yuri’s grades at school were excellent, so she would definitely have gotten a nurse’s license.

“Senior Yuri… Her name was Seong Yu-ri.”

I searched all over social media while Googling.

I was able to find Yuri through SNS in about 2 hours.

Because the profile matched the person I was looking for.

The name is Seong Yu-ri.

Graduated from Hankuk University Department of Nursing.

Working as a nurse at Korea University Hospital.

I found the glass.

However, it was difficult to find Do-hyeon’s whereabouts. I’m not really a person who uses social media, so when I Googled it, I couldn’t find anything similar to it. It would be possible to find the location by requesting a request from the National Intelligence Service, but it didn’t seem necessary.

Because we found out Yuri’s location.

Since the two were a couple, Do-hyeon would show up if they were acting out around Yuri anyway.

I went out into the living room and spoke to Sarah.

“Sera. I found Yuri’s location. I am working as a nurse at Korea University Hospital. If you go to the university hospital, we can meet.”

“… Wait a minute.”

Sarah, who was tapping furiously on her laptop keyboard, slowly completed the script.

“You just need to fix it a little bit.”

“The script seems a bit long, doesn’t it?”

“Total 5800 characters. It can easily fill 10 minutes.”

“Wow.”

How can you write 5800 characters dissing someone?

I was purely amazed.

“That’s it. I’ll print it out.”

Sarah printed the script on the printer and handed it to me.

Now the preparations to consecrate the ghost are complete.

The university hospital where Yuri worked was in Jongno. If you take a taxi, you should be able to get there before evening.

“What do you think of the script I wrote? Isn’t it great?”

“It’s great, but if you read it openly in the hospital, you’ll get arrested. Let’s aim for the timing when Mr. Yuri gets home from work. If you’re lucky, you might find your boyfriend on the way home from work.”

“Are those people still dating? Were there any couple photos on SNS?”

“Couple photo… ?”

Yuri took a photo of the couple and posted it on social media?

Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen any photos like that in recent records. The recent news I looked at on social media was filled with pictures of Yuri working in a nurse uniform and pictures of scenery.

I thought they were still dating, but they may have broken up.

Then, after finding Yuri, I had to find Dohyeon separately.

“I didn’t see anything like that.”

“Then maybe they broke up.”

“Maybe so? But there are no signs of breaking up with your lover?”

“I wish we broke up. If you two are holding hands intimately, I think you’ll want to throw a punch.”

Of course, there were no signs on social media that she broke up with the man.

It was unknown whether Dohyun and Yuri were currently dating or not.

I was really curious what happened to the couple who caused a woman to commit suicide.

“But Jinwoo. Can you go outside if you don’t feel like it?”

“Drinking coffee made me feel more energetic.”

After being possessed, my body didn’t have much energy.

However, while I was researching, I drank a lot of coffee and my body felt energized. I’m not sure how many bags of mixed coffee I’ve opened so far. Thanks to the power of caffeine, I was able to move my limbs.

“If you are having a hard time, will this sister help you?”

“What about you? I will walk with my own feet.”

Sarah and I packed our bags and left Hyehwadang.

After that, we took a taxi and departed for Jongno-gu, where the university hospital is located.

* * *

We arrived at the university hospital in Jongno-gu before the sun set.

Mina was a nurse working in a neurology ward.

This meant that if you were to look at the entrance to the neurology ward, you might find Mina someday.

How much time has passed since I arrived at the hospital?

At around 4 p.m., the woman we were looking for walked outside through the entrance of the main building.

It was now time for the nurses working the day shift to get off work.

“It’s her!”

“That scum!”

I could see the glass that had appeared in the illusion shown by the evil spirit.

Yuri was probably leaving work after finishing her shift, but she was wearing everyday clothes, not a nurse’s uniform.

We, who had been watching the hospital building from afar, immediately ran after Yuri.

Yuri was definitely a beautiful woman with enough style to steal a man.

‘It’s pretty.’

An older beauty with tear spots on her face.

Since time has passed since I graduated from university, I am now estimated to be in my 30s. However, perhaps I’ve managed myself well so far, but there wasn’t much difference from my younger days when I saw it as an illusion. Just looking at her face, she had the impression of being able to captivate many men.

Yuri was walking down the street and at some point entered a quiet path away from the road.

It was a road with not many people around.

“Now! Let’s go.”

I sent a signal to Sarah.

We immediately ran over and shouted to Yuri.

“Hey! Mr. Yuri!”

Yuri turned his back and looked at us with a puzzled expression.

“Yes? Who are you?”

He asked me who I was and I gave him an appropriate answer.

“You’re Sung Yu-ri, right?”

“That’s right.”

“We are close friends with Sister Mina, who was your junior. We met often at the cathedral. Do you know that the nun passed away not long ago?”

“Yes… I know.”

Yuri’s face distorted a little when the story of Mina’s suicide came up.

It seemed like he already knew about Mina’s suicide.

“The nun asked us a favor before she passed away. Get revenge on some trash couple.”

“True, a trashy couple?”

“I’m talking about you and Dohyeon. Don’t pretend you don’t know.”

I questioned Yuri with a stern expression.

“Do you know why Mina committed suicide after suffering from depression? It’s because of you and Dohyun.”

“Qu.”

Yuri muttered, distorting his face.

“Why is it so unfair that I broke up with a man? .”

It was right then.

Sarah, who had been catching her breath for a while, opened her mouth to Yuri.

“Then you don’t feel unfair? You trash bitch! How can you steal someone else’s lover? Did you feel good about breaking up your childhood friend couple? This bitch whose chastity is like glass!”

Swearing words came out of Sarah’s mouth like a rapid fire. Rather than swearing for 10 minutes, it could easily fill an entire day. Yuri took a step back when she saw Sarah cursing as if she was going to eat her.

“Stop it.”

“What are you telling me to stop? Stop having an affair! Don’t you know how much Mina has suffered so far? What are you doing to Mina, who waited until her boyfriend’s military service? Boo! Garbage!”

“I know everything, so please stop!!”

It was then.

Yuri screamed at me and Sarah.

I was stunned for a moment because I didn’t know why they were yelling at me for doing something good.

“Ha… ha… .”

Yuri took a deep breath and spoke to us.

“Both of you, please listen to me! I know you came here at a request from Mina, but first, listen to what I have to say!”

“What bullshit are you talking about?”

“I’m not really dating Dohyeon! I was just pretending to be dating because Do-hyeon asked me to do it!”

“What… ?”

Aren’t you really dating Dohyun?

We were just pretending to be dating?

Sarah and I were completely taken aback by the sudden story.

Yuri muttered with a gloomy expression.

“We pretended to date for a while around the time I graduated from school… I didn’t know Mina would commit suicide. I also regret it now.”

“Aren’t you lying?”

“It’s not a lie! I heard you saved the KakaoTalk message you received from Dohyeon just in case.”

Even evidence remained.

This is the message where Do-hyeon asked Yuri to act as his lover.

I don’t know what happened.

I spoke to Yuri cautiously.

“Okay. If you have time, could you talk to us? I wonder why they acted like lovers.”

“Yes. I’ll teach you everything. I also don’t want to be misunderstood as a trashy woman. There is a cafe at the hospital, so let’s go there.”

There was a cafe inside the university hospital where Yuri worked.

We went back to the hospital with Yuri.

After a while.

We were able to chat with Yuri inside the cafe at the university hospital.

“… … .”

We were in a quite awkward mood right now.

Because I was trying to have a normal conversation with the person who was swearing just moments ago.

Sarah, who had said some pretty harsh things, couldn’t even look at Yuri right next to me.

First, we have to reveal our names.

That should come first.

“Excuse me, but what are your names?”

“My name is Jinwoo. This guy is counting.”

“It’s Jinwoo and Sarah.”

I asked Yuri while sipping coffee.

“So, why did Do-hyeon ask you to play his lover? Are you going to kick Mina clean?”

“You can say that. Mina was not the kind of girl who would give up on Dohyun.”

Yuri nodded.

Then Sarah carefully questioned Yuri.

“In the end, I didn’t do anything bad… ? You pretended to be your lover to ask for a favor. Even though I know it will hurt Mina.”

“I also knew that acting was a bad thing. Still, Do-hyeon’s situation is very unfortunate. I had no choice but to do you a favor.”

“The circumstances are bad?”

Yuri opened his mouth with a bitter expression.

“Dohyun was a patient with Lou Gehrig’s disease.”

“Lou Gehrig’s disease?”

“It’s an incurable disease. Patients with Lou Gehrig’s disease die as their muscles become paralyzed. It is a terrible disease that gradually turns a person into a vegetative state.”

Lou Gehrig’s disease.

It was an incurable disease that could not be completely cured even in this day and age. It was a disease that mainly affected the elderly, but there were also cases where young people in their 20s got it. Just as the famous scientist Stephen Hawking suffered from Lou Gehrig’s disease in his youth.

Do-hyeon was a patient with Lou Gehrig’s disease.

I discovered a secret I could never have imagined.

“After receiving the diagnosis, Dohyun tried to break up with Mina as quickly as possible. He didn’t want Mina to see him dying.”

I recalled the image of Do-hyeon that I had seen as a vision.

Dohyeon suddenly avoided meeting Mina. Not only did I avoid going on dates, but I also avoided seeing each other at school on a daily basis. It turned out that it was to hide the fact that I was sick.

“Are you saying that Mr. Dohyun was being harsh on purpose?”

“Yes. Dohyeon wanted Mina to abandon him and start a new life. I guess I thought I could shake it off even if I got hurt.”

“But it was impossible.”

It was evil.

The love never cooled down.

Do-hyeon thought of Mina until the end and played the villain.

Mina committed suicide because she was hurt by Do-hyeon’s acting.

They diverged.

They were truly a terribly mismatched couple.

“What happened to Dohyeon now?”

“He passed away last year.”
