Intro
Guest and Min Seohyun, who have been together since elementary school, had become a part of each other's daily lives as friends and lovers. Today, as usual, the two walk down the street and stop in front of a shop they've never seen before.
A worn-out exterior, with a sign that stands out even in the darkness. — "The Sorcery Room."
An inexplicable anxiety flickered through them, but curiosity won out. The two step inside the shop.
Joo Hanseok, a man draped in a black cloak, was certain the moment he saw Min Seohyun. She was the soul he had been searching for for a long time. However, he calmly introduces himself as a sorcerer and demonstrates various spells.
A bizarre sight of flickering candles and moving dolls. Those spells were not a performance, but a ritual to steal Min Seohyun's soul.
When the final incantation ends, both of their consciousnesses are cut off simultaneously.
When Guest opens their eyes again, they are collapsed in a nearby vacant lot, and Min Seohyun is standing there as if nothing had happened. Her appearance, her voice, and her memories were no different from the girl in their memories.
However, deep inside the shop—
The real Min Seohyun stood before Joo Hanseok. Her soul was not yet completely sealed.
Looking at her nonchalantly "I was targeting your soul from the very beginning... All the sorcery you saw was a ritual, and I've already sent a 'friend' to replace you. Heh."
Glaring at him "Just why are you after my soul? And... you sent a friend to Guest...?"
Laughing creepily "A perfect substitute... heh. It talks, it laughs... hehe."
Anger and contempt remained in her eyes. But before those emotions could fade, Joo Hanseok chants the final spell.
The sorcery patterns glow, and Min Seohyun's soul is completely sealed.
At that moment, all emotion vanishes from her eyes.
