038 – Heredity # 1

Yang Joo-hee asked.

“This story. “Did you tell the police too?”

“No. I don’t think they’ll believe me if I tell the police. “For now, only we know.”

“That would be great. If my mom finds out about this, she will be very sad. My mom forced her older sister to go to the estate when she said she didn’t want to. So….”

“She might not have gone missing if she had been sent to a different high school… “What is that story about?”

“Okay. When she sees this, she will think of her older sister again. “Then the madness at my mom’s church might get worse, so just stay quiet for now.”

Well.

I also didn’t want to make a fuss with the neighbors.

I am a villain. Imposter.

I don’t want to attract people’s attention for no reason.

“But. “Is there a reason why your mother told your sister to take the territory with her?”

“Her older sister said she would get a job right away, so she was going to go to a specialized high school. Her mom told her to go to the general public anyway. “Her mom and her older sister fought a lot back then.”

Yang Do-hee’s grades weren’t that good.

I barely made it to Yeongji High School, which is a bad high school.

“If you think about it, my maternal grandmother also said that her older sister must be sent to Yeongjigo. That’s how she said everyone would live. Her grandmother had dementia, so she went back and forth a bit. “She said there was a river flowing underground.”

“River? “Is there a river flowing underground?”

“I don’t know either. My mom would know this story well. Because my mom took care of everything until her grandmother passed away. “Her grandmother was such an amazing person, even before she got dementia.”

Sch-.

Yang Joo-hee handed me her cell phone.

When I saw a photo of my maternal grandmother, who was the head shaman… I was quite surprised.

This is because her grandmother was wearing a kimono, a Japanese attire.

“Isn’t this Japanese clothing?”

“That’s right. I heard that when my grandmother was young, she lived in Japan. “Then, when she said that she was going to build a territory, she was called and told that she had to do some kind of push and exorcism, and she said that she was going to live in Gaeryong.”

It was a story I had heard before somewhere.

Isn’t this what is stated in the data we researched during Feng Shui Ghost?

Mr. Cheon, a local retainer, was trying to move his mansion and build a school at that location, but unfortunate accidents kept happening, so he decided to perform a ritual.

“Her grandmother was living in Japan and she was invited, so she came to this place?”

“Okay. It wasn’t even a fuss back then. Originally, he got into a fight with the land shaman who was guarding the Seonangdang tree in Gaeryong City, and they said they would kill each other and keep him alive. “Look at that woman, she was against building a school.”

I also knew this story.

The story is that the ‘Gaeryong clan head shaman’, who was famous in the region, was opposed to building a school and refused to perform the Nureum exorcism. So the local owner, Mr. Cheon, brought in a ‘Japanese shaman’ from outside!

“In the end, my grandmother won, performed the exorcism, and Yeongjigo was created. At that time, my family was rich because we received a lot of money from Mr. Cheon… “Her mom gave everything to the church, so she’s like this now.”

I see….

I understood something, but at the same time, I had some doubts.

Honestly, I thought that the shaman ghost at the old temple might be Yoo Da-hee’s grandmother or someone from her maternal side. However, the eyeless shaman was wearing Korean-style colored clothes, not Japanese-style clothes.

The identity of the head ghost is… Let’s say she’s Bong Se-yeon’s older sister.

What on earth is the identity of that shaman ghost?

Now that we think about it, two shamans appeared in the story of ‘building a school’ just now.

A native shaman of Gaeryong City.

An exotic shaman from Japan.

If the possibility that the identity of the shaman’s ghost was Grandmother Yang Joo-hee disappears….

In conclusion, there is one thing that remains.

It is the turn of the local shaman, the head of Seonangdang, who lived like a governor of the land in Gaeryong City.

“Don’t you know what happened to the native shaman who was handed over to your grandmother?”

“… Native?”

“Your grandmother is Japanese.”

“No. Is my grandmother Korean? “She just went to Japan and studied.”

I see.

Yang Joo-hee is also a native Korean.

“I don’t know what happened to the native shamans. Instead, I know what happened to the place where the shaman’s house was located. They cut down the Seonangdang tree and built a church. Glory Church. It was crazy back then too. “I wonder if everyone gets punished when they cut down the sugar tree.”

Seonangdang tree.

Isn’t that not just a tree, but a sacred and magical tree?

You cut that down.

Aren’t you afraid of heavenly punishment?

I guess you weren’t scared at all!

If you are a pastor who is religious enough to think about building a church on top of it, Seonangdang is nothing more than a thick tree!

It was the 20th century church members who destroyed the Buddha statue and cut off the head of the Dangun statue. Were they afraid of that tree?

━The Seonangdang tree is just a big tree.

For some reason, that conversation played in my head.

Yang Joo-hee said.

“Hey. But you went to that scary school with Yoo Da-hee? “You and Jeongseok are both scared.”

“Dahee said she would grant your wish if you go with me.”

“What?”

Yang Joo-hee frowns.

Yang Joo-hee closed her mouth as she was about to say something, but eventually opened her mouth.

“Hey. Do you really want to go to church with me tomorrow? Don’t you want to hear what happened to the Seonangdang shaman? “The pastor of the church must know very well.”

“Are you suddenly evangelizing?”

“My mom is already saying something about me not going to church these days. It’s a bit awkward to go alone. If you come to church with me, I will grant you a wish. “No strange wishes.”

Oh, wow!

If all the evangelist women walking around on the streets were like Yang Joo-hee, the church would be filled with people.

“If I go to church with you tomorrow, will you reconcile with Yoo Da-hee?”

“… ….”

“It seems like Yoo Da-hee also had a situation. When you suddenly say you can’t remember, it could be that your real memory suddenly disappeared. “Like my mom.”

“… What. “I’ll talk about it.”

I pretended not to like it, but it didn’t seem like it would be a bad idea to go to Yeonggwang Church.

It seems like the ‘culprit’ who cut off the high school girl’s head that Jeongseok mentioned is working as a deacon at the church. While meeting her both privately and privately… I thought it would be good to take a look at Pastor Aesoo Cheon as well.

… However, I was a little concerned about Yoo Da-hee.

I sent a message, but let alone a reply, the confirmation message ‘1’ did not disappear.

# # #

I was a pastor’s son until I was in elementary school.

It means that he knows the church system better than anyone else.

Sunday.

People who go to church call this day Sunday, the day of the Lord’s resurrection, the Lord’s Day.

I headed to Yeonggwang Church with Yang Joo-hee.

The high school service is at 11 a.M.

At the entrance, people who appeared to be evangelists or high school teachers were greeting the students warmly.

“Yang Joo-hee! Hey Joohee! “It’s been so long since this happened!”

“Juhee is getting prettier and prettier!”

Yang Joo-hee was a popular person.

Pretty women are popular everywhere.

Of course, it is popular in churches too.

“… ….”

I looked at the church building, a little away from Yang Joo-hee, where people were crowding around.

It’s big.

At this level, it would be fair to call it a semi-large church.

The words “Korean Presbyterian Church of Jesus” Were also seen.

The Presbyterian Church of Korea has several branches, but it is the largest faction in Korea, surpassing Presbyterianism and Baptism.

They said that this was not a pseudo-heresy, but an authentic church.

I also predicted the possibility that Deacon Kim Yeo-ok was attending a pseudo-church.

She made a mistake that was so shameless.

“Juhee. “Who is there?”

“Are you a boyfriend?”

The church sisters looked at Yang Joo-hee and made a fuss about her.

Yang Joo-hee smiled awkwardly at people.

“He’s a classmate. “I preached.”

“Joohee, who rarely goes to church, evangelizes!”

“Hey, the sun will rise in the west tomorrow!”

Okay, okay.

That kind of reaction is natural.

Soon, a sad-looking woman with her hair tied back spoke to me.

“What is our friend’s name? Has she ever been to church? Or the very first time? “My name is Joo Chan-mi from the New Believers team, and it’s nice to meet you.”

Joo Chan-mi!

She was a cool older sister who had a unique name and the way she tied her hair up in a nonchalant manner.

There is nothing wrong with being my crush.

“I am Ha Young-won.”

“Hmm. “Then, can you briefly write down her name, address, and her cell phone number?”

Pretty sisters act friendly and ask for your cell phone number.

The atmosphere makes it impossible not to write down your address and cell phone number.

Newbies would have passed over here.

But if you write your name and phone number here, you are done in many ways!

Now, if you don’t come to church every weekend, I’ll contact you!

These days, it is said that the number of churches full of such passion is slowly decreasing… Judging by the atmosphere here at Yeonggwang Church, it was clear that they would call every week.

This is a very passionate church.

“I… I just came here today to take a look. “I just want to take a look.”

I pretended not to know anything.

Let’s pretend to be a beginner who doesn’t know anything.

Then Chanmi Joo, who was looking at me, smiled in a skillful manner.

“Ah! Then try it!”

“What? “Did Chanmi get dumped for getting a high school boy’s number?”

Crackling, squealing.

The church has a very friendly atmosphere.

As we just saw, church people are generally friendly to new believers they meet for the first time.

When I only heard the story, this ‘Glory Church’ sounded like a den of cults, but looking at it this way, it was ordinary again.

“Hey. Seed. Joohee Yang. “How long has it been since this?”

“The deacon complained a lot about you not going to church.”

There were also the usual church brothers.

The term ‘church brother’ has a bit of a connotation, but… In fact, there are a few strange people who muddy the waters, but for the most part, they are good and kind people.

They immediately became interested in me.

“Wow. Joo-hee preached? “Same class?”

“There was a rumor that Yang Joo-hee was a scary girl. “Have you ever been ripped off?”

“… “Aren’t you forcibly dragged out today as well?”

These people have good sense.

But originally, there were many people in charge of new believers.

New believers tend to be shy and passive.

If you want to break the hearts of such people, you need to be responded to by people who are confident and have good personalities.

Soon, women came flocking to me.

“Are you Joo-hee’s boyfriend?”

“Are you dating Yang Joo-hee?”

“Aye!”

Crackling, squealing.

It’s not that crazy.

This is not because I am popular, but because ‘Yang Joo-hee’, who brought me in, is a popular person at Yeonggwang Church.

I wonder who Yang Joo-hee brought with her! It feels the same.

Normally, even new believers do not receive this much attention.

“Ha Young-won? “The name has a lot of circles.”

“My face turned red!”

It’s a bit embarrassing.

When does the service start?

Soon, the pastor in charge of the high school class entered the chapel and stood at the podium.

He is young.

40 Seconds at most?

It was not the senior pastor, Cheon Ae-su.

Pastor Aesoo Cheon must have presided over the 10 a.M. ‘Main service’ rather than the high school service.

Worship is hymn. Words. Pray. The order was ordinary, including benedictions, etc.

How about a sermon?

“The sermon you will read today is Matthew 3. Search through the Bible. If you don’t have a Bible, the screen will appear here…. Ruler. Let’s all read it together—.”

It’s normal.

Was I being too suspicious and suspicious?

“Okay. Then, I will give a blessing and conclude. Now of our Lord Jesus Christ—.”

The service lasts 1 hour.

It was moderately long and moderately short.

After the service, we had a ranch meeting.

You could think of it as a group meeting, similar to a sheep pasture, to promote friendship.

I attended the meeting at the same ranch as Yang Joo-hee.

The meeting place is a cafe near the church.

How did everyone live last week? We chatted about various things and laughed. Although this atmosphere was familiar, it also felt a little uncomfortable.

How many years has it been since I came to church?

No.

This is not the time to be like this.

I would like to tell the story of the ‘deacon at the facility’ who goes to this church.

It was then.

“Everyone was here.”

A large man came into the cafe and pretended to know.

Soon people stood up and said, “Pastor. A situation where you are greeted with “Hello,” Or “Pastor!”

I could tell that the man as big as a bear was Pastor Cheon Ae-su of Yeonggwang Church.

I guess he’s about 50 years old.

He looks more like a retired martial arts athlete than a church pastor.

Pastor Aesoo Cheon entered the cafe, finished ordering, and then approached us.

“Juhee said it’s been a while since she came to church? Ah, our Joohee’s face is harder to see than that of a celebrity. “You can see celebrities by turning on TV or MeTube.”

“That… yes. Pastor. Uhhhhh….”

The atmosphere was so difficult that Yang Joo-hee laughed awkwardly.

However, Pastor Ae-su Cheon’s eyes were not directed at Yang Joo-hee’s face but towards me.

“You are eternity. I heard a lot about you from your mother. “You look better than I heard!”

“Yes?”

I was really embarrassed.

A completely unexpected story came out of Pastor Aesoo Cheon’s mouth!

I suddenly felt like I had been stripped of all my armor and cape.

“… “Do you know my mom?”

“I don’t know why. It was at my recommendation that your mother came here from Seoul and got a job. Do you have some time? “I want to talk to you about your father.”

Gurgling.

Meommeommeommeommeom-.

Sweat ran down my back and cicadas started crying everywhere.
