Why hadnât he exorcised the vengeful spirit?
Why did he always sit in the classroom after school, waiting for someone?
Why had he chosen Mu-ryeong, of all people?
A flood of questions raced through Mu-ryeongâs mind like a panoramic reel, all leading to a single realization.
ââ¦Did he know I could purify it?â
The thought struck him like a bolt of lightning.
Maybe Ki Hwan-young had known from the very beginning.
Just as Mu-ryeong had hidden what he knew, perhaps Hwan-young had been testing him all along.
And as expected, Hwan-young hesitated slightly before speaking.
ââ¦The day of the entrance ceremony,â
That one sentence was exactly like what Mu-ryeong had said on the rooftop before.
A small confession, revealing that he had known everything all along but pretended otherwise.
A quiet, reluctant admission of a long-kept secret.
âI realized I dropped my name tag and went back for it.â@@novelbin@@
Mu-ryeongâs mind drifted back to that day in Marchâthe day the warm sunlight had barely begun to melt away winterâs chill.
That was when he had seen Ki Hwan-young standing completely still, his face eerily expressionless.
That was when the restless, lingering spirit had attacked him.
And that was when Mu-ryeong had felt the suffocating weight of its presence.
âI saw it.â
