“Your mother…was it.”

Daniel thought that Ji-hyeok had a story, but he didn’t bother to ask.

Perhaps that didn’t erase the surprised expression, but Jihyeok, who checked his expression, spoke first.

“Looks like Samuel didn’t tell you.”

“yes? What are you talking about…”

“The fact that I am an adopted child.”

“Ah… I just heard that they were college friends.”

Of course Daniel would have guessed.

That’s why he must be making such a pitying expression right now…

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that expression. You won’t see it that way. Because they love me more than anyone else.”

Daniel said with a shy smile.

“Your parents must be proud. If you know that my son has succeeded and sent such a large amount of money…”

“I hope so…”

“Oh, of course. What son in the world would give up this amount of money? However, even if it is a family relationship, a lot of gift tax will be incurred. Why don’t we create a trust fund instead?”

Jihyeok shook his head and took out a piece of paper.

“This will solve the gift tax problem.”

The document Jihyeok pulled out was an investment agreement written when receiving investment money from his parents.

It was an important document that could reduce tax problems when sending money in the name of return of investment and profits.

Daniel, who checked the documents, stuck out his tongue and said.

“Your parents were very wealthy. To pay this much money…”

“He was just an attorney at a small law firm in San Francisco. The money was all my parents’ property.”

Is it because I made a lot of money and got emotional?

Jihyeok was even talking about things he didn’t have to say.

said Daniel.

“It’s all property… I’m more envious of that.”

“is that so?”

“Sure, how many parents would give away all their possessions for their children? I guess you really loved Mr. Kang.”

Jihyeok said with a rare bright smile.

“I think so too.”

***

When I left the office building, a fellow initiate in a red Porsche was waiting for me.

Jihyeok, who climbed into the passenger seat, said in an annoyed voice.

“Dongsoo, if you’re going to buy a red one, buy a Ferrari, or why did a guy with a big body buy this?”

It’s been several months already, but Ji-hyeok still doesn’t like this car, which draws attention every time he rides it.

Whenever Ji-hyeok bruised like this, Dong-soo was just scratching his head.

“If you like red that much, buy me another car that you can ride with me.”

“yes? Really?”

The initiate’s mouth almost hung over his ears.

“Yeah, a normal new car instead.”

“Huh. yes bro But, older brother…”

Dongsoo said with a shy smile.

“Actually, I made this car red… I did it because my mother told me to do it in a dream.”

“hmm? Mother?”

“yes······. I was looking at the catalog and thinking about what color to choose before I fell asleep, but my mom came to me in a dream and told me that it was always red. But, it must be my mother who appeared in the dream, right? It’s not like you’re possessed by a ghost again, right?”

Jihyeok, who heard Dongsoo’s words, nodded and said.

“Your mother will be right.”

“Really, brother?”

“Yes, four masters are inherently lacking in the energy of the land. Red is the color that energizes the land. It seems your mother is very worried about you.”

After hearing Jihyeok’s words, Dongsoo looked as if he would cry at any moment.

“Phew… it was the first time since he passed away… appearing in a dream.”

“Mother… do you want to see it?”

“Sometimes.”

“Okay, let’s go visit your mother’s oxygen soon. Did you say Pyeongtaek?”

“Yes, brother. thank you.”

Dong-soo started talking about this and that to see if he was feeling better again.

“By the way, brother, did your parents both die? Shouldn’t we find your parents first before going to my mother’s oxygen?”

“They are both still alive and well.”

Dong-soo tilted his head and said.

“Eh… maybe your parents didn’t like that you became a shaman…”

“Okay. It may be because they have strong beliefs, but they are not the ones who will express it.”

“Then let’s go to my brother’s parents’ house. My mother’s oxygen goes after that.”

“It’s not yet… not yet.”

Dongsu sighed as if imitating Jihyeok.

“Brother, do well while you are alive. Look at me, I’ve never done filial piety in my life…”

Jihyeok, ignoring Dongsoo who was talking so hard, looked out the window and fell into his thoughts.

In Ji-hyeok’s head, the words Jang Sun-deok had told him while he was leaving Tongyeong for Seoul were constantly replaying.

‘Jihyeok, don’t blame me for greedy for money to pay off my adoptive parents’ money. However, your adoptive parents are the ones who reversed your destiny by adopting you, so if you face Sangjeshin, you may be very angry. Even if it is only love for children, it is difficult to avoid the wrath of Sangjesin. Do you understand?’

When he thought of his father and mother, who were still praying for him every day, Ji-hyeok’s eyes became red.

‘I will definitely meet you and restore my whole life. Please wait a moment, mother and father.’

***

The next day, all reservations were canceled thanks to the paparazzi still guarding the station, and Ji-hyeok was idle for the first time in a while.

At this point, I was wondering if I should take Dong-soo to Pyeongtaek or something…

“Hyung-nim, a business trip request came in… what should I do?”

“A business trip? Did we go on a business trip?”

“Well… you remember that pretty girl I met yesterday, right?”

“CEO Jin Seo-yeon?”

“Yes, brother. His secretary called, and he will give you a warm welcome, so ask him to come for a consultation on a business trip…”

Ji-hyeok, who had been interested for a while, frowned a little, perhaps recalling yesterday’s unpleasant situation.

When Jihyeok didn’t answer, Dongsoo insisted.

“Should I decline?”

“no. Instead, call Bokchae Tattaboo.”

“yes? Are you hot? Then it’s twenty million won…”

“are you okay. Because it was a contemplation full of money.”

***

Jin Seo-yeon, who arrived at the meeting place with the Cheongdam guru, showed her annoyance on her face.

“The hell I don’t like it.”

said the secretary.

“Bokchae is a bit expensive, no matter how business trip it is.”

“What are you talking about? Is it because of 20 million won?”

“Isn’t it?”

“It’s nasty to keep trying to defeat me. And what about this hotel? It’s not the first class, so where do you want to see me?”

“Ah… Kang Ji-hyeok’s house is near here…”

“Then what about our house? Is my house near here? If it’s a business trip, Ji will have to come to my house.”

“That, because Mr. Kang Ji-hyeok said he would come home, the CEO said to see him at the hotel…”

“Secretary Go! Where do you take raw people home?”

Goh’s words, ‘What can I do?’, came to the end of his throat, but he endured it while thinking about the remaining student loans.

“CEO, but he’s a helpful person for the success of movies, so when Kang Ji-hyeok comes, be as kind as possible… you know?”

“Oh, I don’t know. it’s annoying.”

Moments later, Ji-hyeok, accompanied by Dong-soo, arrived at the Libero Hotel suite where Jin Seo-yeon was staying.

“Welcome, Master.”

Knowing that she is pretty, Jin Seo-yeon was putting the late secretary’s advice into practice with a slight smile on her eyes.

According to Jin Seo-yeon’s experience, most men were infinitely kind to themselves.

By the way, this man.

The reaction was extraordinary.

“Don’t make a face that you don’t mean to, and start by talking about it.”

“… Master? Yesterday I misunderstood…”

“Let’s assume you misunderstood. But I hope you don’t hear that guru. It’s embarrassing to hear that someone who is contemplative and buys it and doesn’t believe in it at all distances himself from a guru. Just call me Kang Ji-hyeok.”

Jihyeok’s barbed words wiped the smile from Jin Seoyeon’s face.

“Okay, Jihyuk Kang. It’s all good, but don’t you think I’m being too rude now?”

“I think it’s rude to talk about canceling a contract in front of a person.”

“Ha… That’s why I say I’m sorry. What are you saying to me?”

It seemed that the fight would get bigger if I watched it any longer, and Secretary Go took care of the situation.

“Hey… CEO, Dosa? Don’t do that, and since you’ve come for business trip consultations, why don’t you start with consultations?”

Jihyeok poured out his words as if he had been waiting.

“Okay. Looking at the four weeks you sent, I was born with a lifelong life of wealth and glory. There will be no big ups and downs in life, and you will not have to worry about money until you die of old age. Besides, being born with a noble innate nature and living with being always respected by others, it couldn’t be better than this.”

Jin Seo-yeon’s mood slightly improved as she poured out only good words, unlike her sloppy attitude.

That doesn’t mean that all the unpleasant things have disappeared, but words that are different from what’s inside come out of his mouth.

“Heh… that’s not a guru, isn’t it something you can grab onto and ask anyone passing by? At a glance, it looks like a lot of money, and even pretty… By the way, why are you laughing like that?”

The smile that Ji-hyeok had throughout the story of the four weeks was Jin Seo-yeon, who was very disapproving of it.

“I laughed because it was strange that I was older than I thought.”

Jin Seo-yeon, who appeared to be in her mid-twenties, was thirty, a year younger than Ji-hyeok.

“What, what?”

Ji-hyeok ignored Jin Seo-yeon, who was irritated, and continued the four-week party.

“This has been a good story, and if I had to say something I don’t want to hear… I often look down on others because I’ve been praised all my life. Let go of your greed.”

Jin Seo-yeon was startled and said.

“Everything… you know what…”

“Yes, the luck of the child is good, but the luck of the spouse is thin, so it takes a lot of effort to create a harmonious family.”

“Huh… I don’t have any plans to get married, but that’s great.”

Jin Seo-yeon was slightly surprised inwardly.

In the first place, he avoided dating to the point of celibacy, but he really wanted children.

Of course, I had no intention of becoming a single mother…

Words that seemed to penetrate Jin Seo-yeon’s thoughts flowed from Ji-hyeok’s mouth.

“I have to see you to pick mulberries. If you want children, change your personality. You are not only good at saju, but also good enough to be almost perfect. but······.”

“…”

Jin Seo-yeon found herself focusing very much on Ji-hyeok’s words.

‘but······?’

“It is a contemplation that is often misunderstood when the problem of the way we have lived is met with a slightly lacking mouth. Just like yesterday. If you overcome that well, it is a contemplation that will become a phoenix.”

While Jin Seo-yeon reflected on Ji-hyeok’s advice, Ji-hyeok and Dong-soo started to pack their clothes.

Jihyeok said.

“We’re done, so we’ll go.”

“wait a minute.”

“Are there any more questions left?”

Jin Seo-yeon said with a serious expression different from the first time.

“I was rude yesterday. I mean it.”

Jihyo nodded and said.

“I accept that apology. If you don’t have anything else to say, it’s enough…”

“And I’m a little surprised that nothing I said today was wrong. So I am taking what I said yesterday a little more seriously.”

In fact, Ji-hyeok was expecting a sincere apology from Jin Seo-yeon.

This is because he wanted to confirm that he had the mindset to quickly admit his mistakes.

It has long been said that it is more a divine image than a contemplative image, and an image rather than a divine image.

Jin Seo-yeon asked.

“What you said yesterday, is it true? They say that the movie will fail because of actor Jung Jae-hyeon and director Kim Deok-ki…”

“Two thousand per person.”

“yes?”

“I mean four weeks, 2,000 per person. If you want to hear the two people solve the contemplation, you have to pay the blessing.”

Jin Seo-yeon’s face turned red in an instant.

“You… speak plainly. Are you a scammer? Just tell me for 10 minutes, receive 20 million won, and give me 4,000 more?”

Jihyuk smiled and said.

“It’s a joke.”

“What… what? This author really…”

“What did I just say? I told you to watch out for that mouth, have you already forgotten?”

Jin Seo-yeon couldn’t help but hate Ji-hyeok for picking her up.

Jihyeok also knew about it and quickly changed the topic.

“Jeong Jae-hyeon, Kim Deok-gi. Those two are destined to fail, not just your movie, but any movie they make now.”

“On what basis…”

“Isn’t it director Kim Deok-ki who picked Jung Jae-hyun for the lead role?”

“that’s right. Did President Lucifer Kang tell you?”

Jihyeok shook his head and said.

“I ask you one more question. Who wrote the screenplay for this movie? I don’t think it’s a scenario that director Kim Deok-ki could come up with…”

“Well, how did you do that…. This is something only CEO Kang and I know about, but there was originally a separate director. I don’t know the details, but I know that the original director only passed on the copyright to the scenario.”

“It looks like director Kim Deok-ki asked for a scenario he wrote.”

“Mah… that’s right. I know it was stated in the contract.”

It was only then that Jin Seo-yeon realized that Ji-hyeok was different from ordinary fortune tellers.

I didn’t even think that it would be possible to infer this fact just by looking at it…

“also······.”

“Kang Ji-hyeok, no guru. Please don’t frustrate me and tell me properly. This movie is a very important investment for me. You have to be successful.”

Jihyeok seemed to be thinking for a while, then slowly opened his mouth.

“You’ll know exactly when you see the four weeks, but the two of them are typical ‘preys’.”

“How are you?”

“It’s a prize that eats up everything around it. Anglerfish have the trait of recognizing each other and hanging out in groups, and these two are just that.”

Jin Seo-yeon still didn’t know what that meant.

“What is that…”

“It means that it is a prize that will commit all kinds of evil while hanging out. In addition, the sword arrows in the palace are raised to the point where they look black because they are not red. Do you know what happens when an angler gets stuck with an arrow?”

Jin Seo-yeon had no clue.

“It will become a color demon.”

“Bird… color demon…?”

“Among people who have a similar view… there must be Cho Doo-soon.”

Jin Seo-yeon was surprised and asked back.

“A river… you mean a rapist? What nonsense…”

“Again, you are free to believe it or not. However, the women who harbored a grudge against the perverts have now begun to slaughter them, so soon the whole world will know about their evil deeds.”
