Episode 122 I don’t know why I’m angry?
I thought the woman the ghost married was an evil woman.
But the way she looks now is far from an evil woman.
“I heard that you are having a hard time researching the secret arts of the Ghost Gate. “Don’t push yourself too hard.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
The corner of the ghost’s mouth twitched at Im Hyang’s worry.
“Aren’t you in the market?”
“I’m hungry.”
“Let’s go and eat.”
Ghost Ja, Im Hyang, and the warriors who followed her entered the guesthouse where we were.
They sat down near where we sat.
So I could clearly hear the conversation between the two people.
“I’ll be honest with you. Actually, my parents were against this marriage. “The successors of the noble family are those who are only focused on research for generations, so they will make the woman lonely.”
“Oh, you’re mistaken. That will never happen. I promise. “I will never make Sojeo lonely.”
I didn’t hear the details of why the ghost’s marriage fell apart. When they last broke up, the ghost said that their married life was even more hell, so it seems like they lived together until then.
What if it happened because he made her lonely while studying regression methods? What if that’s the case?
‘Ghost, you can’t keep this promise now.’
Of course, that may not be the reason. Just by looking at the expression on Im Hyang’s face right now, you could bet all of your money that she would abandon the family business if she ran away. I loved it so much, but why did my married life become hell?
Ian sent me a message.
-Those two people are trying to stop the wedding, right?
-that’s right.
―I like it so much, how can I stop it? If I stop you now, I think you will become my enemy.
They are not just enemies. He will become a supporter of Cheolcheon.
We listened to the conversation between the two again.
“Your father may treat Confucius badly. Even if that happens, Confucius, please understand.”
“Of course. “I know very well how much Lord Mun cherishes Sojeo Lim.”
Could it be that the two were separated because of their parents? Finding out why was the priority.
They ordered a meal.
“Because I don’t like stir-fried dishes.”
The ghost quickly spoke to Imhyang’s clear taste.
“Good. “I hate it too.”
“really?”
“I think we are a match made in heaven!”
But I saw it. The momentary hesitation that the ghost showed. I like it, but I feel regretful.
Poor ghost. I see you ate all the stir-fried dishes from now on. In fact, he seemed to be saying that it would be okay to just live off Byeokgokdan for the rest of his life.
When they started eating, we started talking. I didn’t lower my voice to get their attention.
“Do you want to get married?”
The biggest topic for people who are about to get married is probably marriage. Indeed, I felt that the ghost and Imhyang were listening.
“I won’t do it.”
“why?”
“Marriage is something that comes with great responsibility, right? I don’t have the confidence to take responsibility for anyone. “It’s overwhelming even for me.”
I couldn’t tell if it was really her thoughts or if she was just responding because she knew I was trying to stop them from getting married.
This time Ian asked me.
“Do you want to get married?”
“no.”
“why?”
“I just want to live freely.”
“What about the child? “Don’t you want to have children?”
“Ira….”
I’ve only heard this question once. To Seojin, the ghost’s younger brother. The answer at the time was obvious. At that time, I was engulfed in guilt and anger for surviving alone, and what kind of child was I?
“I’m not confident I can raise them well.”
“but. “Not all parents raise their children well.”
Ian’s expression darkened slightly. I asked her the question I wanted to ask her, separate from the ghost’s current work.
“Do you resent your parents?”
“I resented it when I was young.”
When she was very young, she was abandoned by her parents. They came to our school without knowing who their parents were.
“now?”
“I don’t have any thoughts right now. “Even if I hate you, it only hurts me.”
I deliberately asked about my parents. Don’t bury your heartache in your heart.
Rather, you dig up what you buried and say it, and you kick the blanket and regret it, saying you said it for no reason, and you said it anyway, so why not say it again? To make it into something trivial like this.
It’s a heartache that only fades away after going through this process several times, so you’re just going to bury it in your heart and forget about it? It’s impossible. No matter how deeply you bury it, it will not rot. It won’t go away.
Ian looked at me and said with a grin.
“My parents must be eating well and living well somewhere, right?”
It was right then.
“It won’t be like that.”
The person who could not stand it and intervened was Im Hyang.
“I don’t know what the story is, but I’m sure Yeohyup’s parents are heartbroken.”
She had a definite taste in food and was the type of person to speak her opinion on these matters.
Ian spoke softly to her.
“Not all parents love their children. “There are parents who think of their children as earning money because they gave birth to them, and there are also parents who beat, abuse, and even sell their children, right?”
That last word stuck with me. Perhaps Ian lived his life thinking that his parents sold him.
“This is probably the story of a very small number of parents. Sozer’s parents must have had different circumstances.”
Imhyang’s eyes, looking sadly at Ian, were full of pity and sympathy. Despite her innocent appearance, I could see that she was a person who showed her emotions even to people she had met for the first time.
In fact, it could have been unpleasant if he thought it was unpleasant, but Ian reacted gently.
“Thank you for comforting me.”
“No, I meddled for no reason. sorry.”
Lim Hyang apologized and Ian also spoke politely.
“no. “You said it out of kindness, but I reacted sensitively.”
So the two apologized to each other.
Belatedly, Imhyang introduced herself.
“I am Lim Hyang, the wife of the Lim family.”
Lim Hyang introduced the ghost and Ian introduced me.
“This is my execution.”
This is how we usually introduce ourselves to new people. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t wrong since we learned the same martial arts.
“I’ll serve you a drink as an apology. “It seems like the two of you have been reunited for the first time in a long time today, so I’ll see you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when you have time.”
Imhyang shook her head at Ian’s suggestion.
“No, I have to buy the alcohol.”
The ghost who was watching the two people trying to buy each other alcohol came out.
“I was planning to invite close friends tomorrow and have a small celebration, and I would like to invite you two as well.”
“We can’t go to such a precious place.”
When Ian refused, Im Hyang stepped forward.
“No, please come. I think that way I will feel at ease.”
When they came to Imhyang, Ian pretended not to be able to resist and accepted their invitation.
“Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
After a while, the ghost and Imhyang, who had finished their meal, said goodbye and left the guesthouse first.
After they left, Ian started showing off.
“I did well, right?”
“excellent. “To the point where I thought I could leave it to you.”
“oh! That’s not possible. “I still don’t understand why they have to stop their marriage!”
Ian saw them walking away from the guest room. Even as he walked along the road, the ghost could not take his eyes off Imhyang.
I remembered the ghost’s last moments.
-Are you still in hell?
-It’s a hotter hell. I don’t have any shame, but I still ask you a favor. If you don’t listen to me till the end, I’ll tear up my cargo.
-That much?
-It’s more than that.
There was no need to stop him if I had to, but I was worried that if I forced him to stop in this situation, he might become even more unhappy. They say the most difficult thing in the world is the issue of men and women.
“I don’t know what to do yet.”
* * *
The next afternoon, Ian and I visited Gwimun.
As I followed the guide into the inner hospital, I felt ghosts everywhere.
―Ian, can you feel the energy on your left side?
―Yes, it’s the first time I’ve ever felt this energy.
―It is a ghost of a ghost.
It was a different feeling from the ghostly spirit of the Seobhonmazon.
―People who use this kind of demonic energy must be dealt with very carefully. The most important thing is not to panic because you never know what might pop up. If you panic, you die.
-Yes, I will keep that in mind.
As I entered the inner garden, I saw three people talking in front of the flower garden.
The ghost, Imhyang, and the one person I had wanted to see so much were Seojin.
“Don’t trust your brother. If I’m busy with work, I’m the type of person who won’t notice even if you rub next to me. “My brother.”
Imhyang, who thought Seojin’s words were a joke, laughed.
“It’s not a joke.”
“Then we should do a nice dance. “It’s enough to make you turn your head towards me.”
While they were talking like that, they looked this way when we appeared.
Seojin and I’s eyes met.
It was a long time later that I originally met her. That’s why Seojin’s appearance now seems so unfamiliar.
There was a time when you were this green too.
She suited the rough life of a ronin so well. He was smart, thoughtful, and loyal.
The way I look now doesn’t remind me of that time. The girl she is now is a bright and cheerful girl who grew up with a lot of love in a prestigious family.
Ian’s voice rang out.
―Even when I looked at the beautiful courtesans in Cheonhwaru, I didn’t look at them like this. The way you look at that woman is special.
As expected, Ian knows me best.
-Jealousy is an ambassador.
-mama! It’s not jealousy, it’s curiosity!
So, how can Seo-jin’s eyes be ordinary?
friend.
In this life, I will not let you grow cold in an unknown field. As you were dying, you said you were satisfied with your life, but I won’t let you end like that. It is a promise as a friend.
So we went in front of them. The ghost introduced us to Seojin.
After the introduction, Seojin showed interest in Ian.
“Your eyes are so beautiful, why did you use cotton thread?”
I looked at Ian and told him to show me his face. It’s a beauty world, Ian!
She sensed what I meant and took off her cotton thread.
Exclamations of exclamation came out from the mouths of the two women, but unexpectedly, the target of the ghost was not particularly shaken.
I asked the ghost.
“Seo Confucius, aren’t our sisters pretty?”
I was trying to show that there are such pretty women in the world.
“It’s beautiful. “It’s beautiful, but our Lim Sojeo is more beautiful.”
I could tell. That the ghost spoke sincerely.
They say you go blind when you fall in love, but at this level, it wasn’t just a pod in your eye, it was like you were addicted to the art of seduction.
I sent a message to Ian.
-ugly! Use cotton yarn.
-I already wrote it. What is that guy!
-I tried to stop the wedding with beauty, but it didn’t work.
―If you like it so much, why are you blocking it? It looks nice.
It was then. Imhyang looked at the ghost with a stern face.
“Why are you doing this? Lim Soje?”
“I don’t know why I’m angry?”
“I don’t know.”
The ghost gave an expression of complete ignorance.
“Why can’t you be honest? Isn’t that Sojeo more beautiful? “Did you think I would like it if I said that?”
Even though he thought Ian was more beautiful, he thought he lied.
“You are more beautiful in my eyes.”
“That’s a lie, right?”
“no. You are truly more beautiful. “You can swear to heaven.”
“Really?”
Only after confirming that, Lim Hyang’s expression relaxed.
At this moment I was sure.
The way he intervened in our conversation yesterday and the way he looks now are the same. She was a strong personality who had to check and move on from things that could be overlooked.
What if he had strangled a ghost with that personality? One day, the bean pods on the ghost’s eyelids will disappear.
He must have been tired of her and escaped reality by studying Dafa. And the relationship between the two would have gotten worse.
This isn’t just her responsibility. She is showing what kind of person she is without hiding it, but the ghost herself cannot see.
Even now, the ghost was smiling at Im Hyang, wondering what was so good about it.
Oh my gosh, you’re a ghost. What should I do with this? Do I really have to tear it apart?
