Chapter 37 - 3 six: The word "IT"

"Jheong Woo! Are you drunk? What are you talking about? You are talking with me! Do you need a lift? I am coming to you! Tell me where you are. I will pick you from there and drive you to your home." said Dae Ju loudly. But his idiot friend couldn't understand his point. "What! I am not drunk! Isn't it you...." he had to stop because Dae Ju wasn't let him talk.

"Hey! How dare you behave with me like this when you are drunk? Just tell me where you are. I am coming!" said Dae Ju to make him stop.

"Then, come. I will talk with you in person," said Jheong Woo and hung up.

"I have to go now," said Dae Ju and stood up.

"Can you go alone in this dark?" saying this Lina laughed shortly.

"Hey! How could you even say that! I am not afraid of the dark!" said Dae Ju loudly. "Yeah, yeah! I got it!" said Lina. Suddenly she remembered something and said again, "Don't be late. And please don't get drunk."

"I'll try," said Dae Ju while leaving.

"Where are you going in the night? Leaving your wife all alone in the dark?" said the landlady and smiled.

"Excuse me! I need to talk with you," said Dae Ju.

"Go ahead. I am listening." said the landlady.

"Why you did that to us? Why did you tell her that you will decrease our home rent if she works in your house? Is she looks like a maid to you?" asked Dae Ju being aggressive.

"Whoah! Since when you started to care about her!" said the young lady with an evil laugh.

"That's not my answer. We will pay you full rent if you give us some more time. But please don't tell her something like that. If we failed to pay you within the next month, then kick us out but never think to do something like that." saying angrily he left from there.

"Ah! How rude! But I like him!" said the lady softly and went inside. Lina was cleaning the table and suddenly the lights came and it surprised her.

"Ah! How could this happen? But it's nice. I can watch TV for some time now." said Lina.

[On the other side]

"Hey! Jheong Woo!" while calling him Dae Ju put his hand on his shoulder.

"Oh! You are here? But, why you were acting strange? I wanted to tell you something important!" said Jheong Woo being a little angry.

"I was in a bit of a situation that's why I had to act strange." saying this hesitatingly Dae Ju laughed but Jheong Woo was still unhappy.

"Seems like I am working hard for nothing!" saying this mockingly he look another way.

"Ah! It's not like that! You are helping a poor guy! And you will be rewarded after I went back." said Dae Ju proudly and pat on Jheong Woo's shoulder.

"How?" asked Jheong Woo.

"What do you want?" asked Dae Ju and start thinking.

"Ah! Right! I will let you use my black card!" said Dae Ju smilingly.

"What? I don't want your money!" said Jheong Woo. He was still looking at another way.

"Then, I will introduce you as my friend," said Dae Ju.

"I refuse," said Jheong Woo and sit on a bench. Dae Ju also sits beside him and tried to make him happy.

"Then, just think that you are doing these because you are my fan!" said Dae Ju.

"I am not your fan! I am Min Jae's fan. He is so cool! His rapping style touched my heart! He is my boy crush!" said Jheong Woo.

"Then, I will let you meet with him. Now, tell me will you help me?" said Dae Ju and smiled.

"Really? You will? You will not forget, right? You are promising me, right?" being very surprised and excited Jheong Woo said.

"Yes, yes. I will not forget," said Dae Ju. "Oh! Thank you! My buddy!" said Jheong Woo smilingly.

"Ah! How rude he is! It hurt my pride!" said Dae Ju slowly so that Jheong Woo couldn't hear it.

"What did you say?" asked Jheong Woo. "Nothing! Nothing at all!" said Dae Ju and put a fake smile.

"Okay, forget it all. Now listen to me carefully. I heard there is a guy who is quite famous and who could tell anyone's background." said Jheong Woo mysteriously.

"Really? Then, he could help me to find this guy's background?" asked Dae Ju curiously. I think so. But we need to go to him quickly. If it's past 9, he would not tell anything.

"Ah! But it's already past 9. We have to go tomorrow." said Dae Ju while looking at his phone. Then, he remembered something and shouted,

"Hey! Don't tell me that he is that Muslim guy who can describe anyone's dream!" said Dae Ju being surprised.

"How did you know about him?" asked Jheong Woo being surprised.

"I met him earlier. He informed me that I am going to experience something messy but I didn't know it would be this much messed up!" said Dae Ju and sighed.

"Ah! Before you came here?" asked Jheong Woo.

"Hmm," said Dae Ju.

"Let's walk sometimes." saying this Jheong Woo stood up and point at the road.

"Don't be late tomorrow. We need to fix things up. So, come in front of the mosque while returning from your work tomorrow. I'll meet you there." said Dae Ju with a serious and cool face.

"Okay, But since you recognize the place, you can go alone," said Jheong Woo.

"E-he! Don't you remember? Min Jae!" said Dae Ju putting the fake smile.

"Ah! I will the one who would wait for you!" saying this Jheong Woo laughed. "Aish! This guy!" said Dae Ju angrily. Both of them were silent for some moment while walking on the street. Some people were on their way home after finishing their job. Some were dating, some were walking like them. "Ah, right! I need to show you something!" saying this he took his phone from the pocket and open his gallery. He actually took a photo of that weird man though it's illegal to take anyone's photo without his permission but he was too much curious about him. "Take a look at him. Do you know him?" asked Dae Ju while showing the photo of that guy.

"No, I don't know him. But why?" asked Jheong Woo.

"I think he tried to kill me," said Dae Ju with a serious look.

"What? Are you serious? But why would anyone want to kill you? And also how could this possible? Where were your bodyguards?" panicked Jheong Woo.

"I don't know too! That's why I am asking you!" said Dae Ju loudly then he said slowly again, "Also, I was a bit careless. I hate to bring bodyguards around me."

"I understood. It must be hard for you because you can't do what you want. You always have to do what you were told to!" saying this he pats on Dae Ju's shoulder.

"Hey! You don't know about me at all! I do what I wanted to! I don't follow the agency's policy!" said Dae Ju in his own style.

"Okay, okay. send a copy to me so that I could figure out about him," said Jheong Woo.

[The next night in front of the alley]

"Hey!" saying this Dae Ju put his hand on Jheong Woo's shoulder.

"Ah! You startled me again! Why you always do that?" said Jheong Woo being startled.

"Let's go!" said Dae Ju and start walking. Following him, Jheong Woo also starts walking. They reached that mysterious house.

"Welcome!" said a guy's voice and opened the door before they knocked. Both of them were surprised and look at each other's face. Then they entered the house.

"Please sit here." said a man and give them a cushion for each.

"But, you are not that guy! Where is that handsome and gentleman?" asked Dae Ju.

"He will come soon! He is praying right now. Please wait for him." saying this the man left from there.

"I am feeling nervous!" said Jheong Woo whisperingly.

"Why? He would not do anything! He is a nice guy! Just chill!" said Dae Ju also whisperingly. After some moments, the guy came. He was the same person whom Dae Ju mentioned a while ago. He entered quietly and sit down in front of them without any sound.

"Tell me about your problem." said the guy gently. Dae Ju explained everything to him everything and hearing all those he didn't get surprised.

"Hmm..., so that happened? It's weird! Really weird." said the guy calmly. Jheong Woo was in so shock that he couldn't say a single word. But he controlled himself and said,

"But, shouldn't you figure all out why we came here?"

"Kid! I can't figure it out. He will only figure those out which you will mention to me." said the guy gently. "You will not! Then who will?" asked Jheong Woo curiously.

"You will know" saying this he closed his eyes and suddenly opened his eyes. This time he was looking different. He looked at Dae Ju with his widely opened eyes and said, "Is that you?" This time his voice also changed and he was talking with a heavy voice. But he was gentle this time too. "Yes" replied Dae Ju. Then he looks down and said,

"This body is a mask. It has been two years three months and fifteen days. An evil was following him since he was fourteen. But it found no way to went inside his body. That day when he was driving the red car, it found a way to went inside this body. As there was no one around him, it came in front of him with its true form and he got afraid. He had that accident because of it and died on the spot. But everyone thinks that he is alive and treats him." Dae Ju and Jheong Woo are surprised and look at each other's face. They couldn't say a single word because they were too much curious and also afraid.

"Haven't you noticed that he was changing after he fall from the hill?" said the guy with the heavy voice and look at Dae Ju.

"Ah! S**t! I didn't notice. I thought.... " Jheong Woo lost his words.

"But, what is "it" you are mentioning?" asked Dae Ju.

"It's an ancient evil soul of a female. She is thinking of this man as her lover so she wanted to stay with him always. That's why he always acted rude to whoever come in front of her way and his wife is the first and only prey of her because he had a feeling for her. If you didn't come in this body, it would have killed her until now. And if it could go in this body again, it will kill her." said this he look at Dae Ju and kept looking at him.

"Why are you glaring at me? I did nothing wrong!" said Dae Ju hesitatingly. You have to save that girl. It's you who can save her from this evil. If you went back to your body, that evil will get a chance to kill her and she will not let her go anymore." said the guy.

"But, why it didn't kill her yet?" asked Jheong Woo.

"I don't know. Maybe it has it's own reason." said the guy.

"But, how could I help her? I mean, how would I know when I will leave this body and what should I do if I don't know any ways?" asked Dae Ju curiously.

"I will give you a holy water. You have to put three drops of it on your bathtub before taking a bath. And if he went back, you need to spray this water on him. It will not let it go inside this body and the body will be gone in its original form." saying this he took a glass full of water and start reading something in Arabic. After reading for a while, he blows on it and replaced the water in two bottles. Then he gives one to Dae Ju and another to Jheong Woo.

"But....." Jheong Woo was going to ask more but he stopped him.

"It's too late now. I have to go. I am late for you today." saying this he closed his eyes again. The other man who told them to sit earlier rushed to him and sit in his backside. Seems like the guy passed out and fall on the man. Both Dae Ju and Jheong Woo are astonished and look at him. After a few minutes later, he sits back and the man stood up.

"You were told what you should do. Now go." said the guy. This time he was talking like before with a gentle and slow voice.

"But will we succeed?" asked Jheong Woo.

"I don't know. I can't tell the future. It's depending on you and on him." saying this he looks above and pointed on there. Dae Ju could understand what he wanted to say.

"Who?" asked Jheong Woo. But without giving him an explanation, he gestured them to go from there. Understanding him, both of them stood up and slowly went outside.
