My Girlfriend Is a Shaman

7 – The Story of a Childhood Friend Who Sees Ghosts #7

I threatened the ghost with a threat of death. While holding a kitchen knife and aiming it at the girl ghost’s neck. Sarah said that ghosts are not frightened by swords, but by the energy of the person holding the sword. Surprisingly, the girl ghost seemed terrified after hearing my sincere threat.

━━Tap! Slurp! Widely! Slurp!

The girl’s ghost has disappeared. She let go of her hand holding on to Joo-hyuk and started to step behind her. Even the sight of her stepping back was quite bizarre. She was moving in the opposite direction, touching the ground with her bent limbs, as if she was rewinding a video.

The girl’s ghost that crossed the gate disappeared in the blink of an eye, like an insect.

We succeeded in driving out the ghost that had been tormenting us so much.

“hehehe!”

Sarah looked at me as she burst into laughter.

“It’s funny! The ghost was really scared when it saw you. A 10-year-old ghost was overwhelmed by your energy and ran away… You have the ability to exorcise ghosts.”

Sera was looking at me with a very interesting expression. A girl who sees ghosts is interested in me. I’m not sure if she’s happy or sad. I asked Sarah something I was curious about while holding her kitchen knife.

“What happened to the girl ghost? Where did she run away and go?”

“You’ve probably gone back to school. But there’s no need to worry. The ghost will be completely scared of you and won’t harm anyone anymore. Now, I’m going to make you a Buddha according to the original plan.”

“So Joo-hyuk is safe?”

“Your friend is safe.”

We succeeded in saving Joo-hyuk. I finally put the kitchen knife on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. I was wondering what would happen if the ghost I saw earlier didn’t get tired of it and kept targeting Joo-hyuk.

“Hey, guys! Are you saying it’s all over now?”

Joo Hyuk, who was listening to us, burst into tears and asked a question.

I smiled and said to Joo-hyuk.

“Yeah, it’s all over, dude.”

“Wow! Thank you so much! I thought I was going to die! It’s Jinwoo! It’s Sera!”

Joo Hyuk, who came back from the dead, bowed his head to us and thanked us. It was the first time in our friendship that I had seen that big guy bow his head to someone else. Anyway, since I saved my friend’s life, I didn’t feel too bad.

“But Jinwoo, I have something to ask you.”

“Huh?”

“How did you know that the ghost’s name was Park Eun-seo? I wouldn’t have even told you.”

“I went to the newspaper department and looked through the school newspaper. I found Park Eun-seo’s name and photo in a newspaper from 10 years ago. I looked through about 20 volumes and it came out.”

“20 Volumes? You’re quite persistent.”

The current time is 1 am.

I stayed up too late to chase away the ghost.

Sera let me and Joohyuk sleep at her house.

“Everyone worked hard. You can sleep at my house. The guest room is empty, so you can sleep there.”

“Do you have a guest room in your house?”

“Because our house is large. And because of my mom’s work, we often have guests with special stories staying at our house.”

“Oh my.”

“Let’s clean up the yard and then go in and sleep.”

When it comes to Sarah’s mother’s work, it meant working as a shaman.

We put away things like kitchen knives and dishes and entered Sarah’s house. In one corner of the large house, there was a separate room reserved for guests. There was even a large adult bed, so Joo-hyuk and I were able to sleep there. As an aside, Sarah slept separately in her own room.

After spending the night like that, the morning dawned.

“See you at school.”

“Yes, that’s right! I was really thankful for yesterday, both of us! I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life!”

The next day was the weekend.

Joohyuk and I left Sarah’s house and went back to our own homes.

When I went to school early in the morning after the weekend, I was able to meet Sarah in the classroom.

“Hello?”

“Hello. Jinwoo.”

Sarah was standing near her desk in the back of her classroom.

This is the unclaimed desk where the dead Park Eun-seo was clinging to.

They said that the ghost that got scared and ran away from me last time went back to school. So does that mean there are still ghosts in the classroom? I looked around the classroom, but I couldn’t see the girl’s ghost that I saw then.

“Didn’t you say the ghost went back to school the other day?”

“Yes.”

“But why can’t I see anything again? If I go back to school, shouldn’t I see a ghost here?”

“Over the weekend, I came to the classroom and made Buddha.”

“Aha.”

Have you already attained Buddhahood?

I missed the opportunity to see a ghost, but this time I wasn’t particularly disappointed. Because it was a ghost who tried to kill my friend. I would have been angry if I had seen it again, but it turned out better.

“Nothing bad will happen in our class now. Someone stabbing you in the back or hearing hallucinations.”

“What happens if a ghost appears again?”

“Then something bad will happen again.”

The girl’s ghost attained Buddhahood.

From that day on, the strange things that were happening in our class really stopped. No one was stabbed in the back, and no one heard hallucinations telling them to play together.

The incident that had been bothering the class for a month had been resolved.

Time passed and it was April.

I became friends with the students in my class who I used to avoid, and my school life was going without any problems.

However, in my peaceful daily life, I had one worry.

‘I can’t see the ghost again.’

I can’t see the ghost again. I actually saw a girl’s ghost at Sarah’s house the other day. Since then, there has been no visible ghost, perhaps because the slightly opened ear door has closed. Occasionally, I visited a psychic spot that even a child could go to, but there was no success.

A local restaurant said to be haunted.

The mountain behind us in the middle of the night.

Abandoned house.

And so on.

I wandered around a lot of places late at night, but I was fine. In this way, the ear gate may close and never open again. As time passed and I couldn’t see anything, I couldn’t help but become anxious.

‘Where can I see ghosts?’

I was in trouble at school. As I was looking to the side without thinking, I saw a girl with silver hair fluttering in my field of vision. At that moment, a thought flashed in her head.

‘Maybe we can see each other again when we go to Sarah’s house?’

At the time, the only place where I experienced psychic phenomena was Sarah’s house. If it happened once, it could happen twice. Maybe I could see a ghost again at Sarah’s house.

“Hey, strong!”

“Why are you calling me?”

“Can I come over to your house today?”

“What…? Ugh, why are you coming to my house?”

“I’m not just going to have fun. I want to spend the night at your house.”

When I immediately asked her to let me sleep, Sarah reacted in embarrassment. I talked to Sarah a lot during the month, but we weren’t close enough to go to each other’s houses yet. Moreover, since Sarah was a girl, she had no choice but to be a little shy.

“Jinwoo! What kind of boarding house is our house? Are we going to sleep as we please?”

“I’ll tell you the reason honestly. Since the last time I saw a ghost at your house, I haven’t seen the ghost again. That’s why I want to hang out at your house and spend the night. The shaman’s house is a place rich in spiritual energy, so I might see it again.”

“hehehe! What’s the reason? You’re such a weird kid!”

When Sarah heard my situation, she laughed as if it was fun. To be honest, I thought she would say no. Surprisingly, Sarah allowed me to come to her house.

“Okay! You can come to my house. Just buy snacks instead.”

“I’ll get it. But are your parents back home?”

“My parents arrive tomorrow. That means we’ll be the only ones at home until today.”

“Oh, your parents are finally coming!”

From noble mtl dot com

“As soon as you come tomorrow, I have to ask you to buy me something delicious.”

It looks like Sarah’s parents, who were away due to work, will return home tomorrow. In that case, today was my only chance to sleep over at Sarah’s house. I’ll have to keep an eye on Sarah’s parents when they come home.

“Just in case, don’t bring Joo-hyuk. It’s very difficult to wake him up in the morning.”

“Don’t worry, Joo-hyuk won’t come even if you ask him to come. He’s traumatized at your house.”

As an aside, Joo-hyuk, whom we rescued, was going to school just fine. It was a good thing because he was no longer tormented by ghosts.

After school.

I bought a lot of snacks with Sarah from her convenience store and went to her house.

It was the shaman’s house with the red and white flags that I saw the other day.

A luxurious two-story house with a yard.

We went into the house, immediately took off our bags and started playing.

“Sera, what do you usually do? I heard you’re home alone because your parents are busy.”

“Watching a movie on TV.”

“Then let’s eat snacks and watch a movie together.”

Sarah, who was often alone at home, seemed to have a hobby of watching movies.

We decided to watch a movie on the large wall-mounted TV in the living room.

“What movies do you like?”

“Get out of Disney or Pixar.”

“I think I’m doing it now.”

At that time, a movie that Sarah would like was playing on the movie channel. A movie called Was just starting. We watched a movie with a platinum-blonde princess while eating snacks.

[Let it go!!!!!! Leave the store!!!!!]

It was a movie filled with powerful songs. It was a movie where a platinum-haired princess sang well. When the movie ended, I looked at Sarah. Sarah had a very touched expression on her face.

“…It’s a masterpiece, after all! I never get tired of it even after watching it again.”

“Huh? Did you see this movie?”

“Of course I saw it because it was a famous movie. It’s already the third time I’ve seen it, but it’s still touching.”

Sarah lifted her sleeve and wiped her moist eyes. She seemed to really like movies, as she was moved even after watching the same movie three times.

“Let them go! Let them go!”

Sarah hummed her song even after the movie ended.

“Jinwoo, please do that.”

“What?”

“Ask me to build a snowman with you.”

“Uh, do you want to make it together?”

“No!”

“Okay, hello…”

“Phew!”

She chatted and watched a few more movies, and before she knew it, it was night.

She didn’t really experience any psychic phenomena, but it was a fun day.

“It’s time to sleep. You can sleep in the guest room you stayed in then.”

Both Sarah and I were sleepy, so it was time for her to go to sleep.

Suddenly, Sarah’s cell phone rang.

Listening to what Sarah said when she answered the phone, it seemed like the call came from her parents.

“Hello. Yes! Mom. Why?”

Sarah’s face slowly turned into embarrassment as she was holding her cell phone and talking on the phone with her parents.

“What? You’re coming home with mom and dad now? Work finished earlier than expected…?”
