049. Reward Vacation (2)
2021.12.19.
-Wait. Who is this cute and refreshing person? He’s handsome? Is there someone like this? ㄴㅇㅇ He’s the Grim Reaper who appeared in D.MaGo ㄴSeriously?? That guy was this refreshing?? ㄴHis vibe is totally differentㅋㅋㅋㅋ I was so surprised when I first found out -That was a support event I participated in~! I participated in that~! Aren’t you jealous, guys? ㄴ헐 That’s amazing, I’m so jealous. When did they recruit? If there was such a good thing, they should have announced it widely! ㄴThis was a sudden recruitment because there were rumors that the drama team would gather this morningㅋㅋㅋ There wasn’t much time to recruit widely, so they only collected donations from people who had time. It closed really quickly ㄴAhㅠㅠㅠ I saw this, but when I tried to open my mobile banking, the deposit was closedㅠㅠㅠ How little did they receive that it closed so quickly? ㄴSince it’s not an official fan club, I think the leader limited the amount so they couldn’t collect too much? I heard it was around N hundred won including small snacks. Check the link for details. -ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋI know this! I heard a big 손 [big hand; a generous contributor] contributed! ㄴBig 손? ㄴㅇㅇ The deposit closed quickly because someone paid half of the supporter amount alone ㄴWho? ㄴLook at the details here (screenshot of deposit details) ㄴ……That anonymous…… what is it……? They’re carrying half of it alone……? ㄴWant to know something even funnier? They said they only paid half because they felt sorry if they paid for everything themselves……. -Guys. Did anyone see the person who deposited anonymously in the supporter deposit details? I have a feeling……. ㄴCould it be that person whose names start with Kwon and Hyun? ㄴPossibleㅋㅋㅋㅋ He’s Yeonwoo’s biggest fan number 1ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄴIt can’t be^^ ㄴIt won’t beㅎㅎ ㄴIt probably isn’t……. ㄴAh, no way……ㅎㅎ ㄴThere’s never been an actor like this before. Is he a stalker or an actor! -But he’s very thoughtful. He seems young, but he told people not to donate for support……. I’ve never seen a celebrity who directly banned support, saying he’s grateful just for the thought. ㄴHe might just be saying that, but Yeonwoo seems to have seriously banned itㅋㅋㅋ The leader was crying in the review, asking to be allowed to give supportㅋㅋㅋ ㄴDid you see it in the review too? I also felt sorry for some reason. I saw he was twenty-three years old, and he seemed really serious. I wonder what kind of strange things he’s been through to say he only wants their hearts. ㄴㄹㅇ [Real; abbreviation for “real”] Some people look at him with colored glasses because he’s close to Kwon Seonghyun. But if you watch, you can see it. It’s not Yeonwoo who’s clinging, it’s Kwon Seonghyun who’s clingingㅠㅠㅋㅋ ㄴ((((((((Yeonwoo))))))))) I’ll take down anyone who criticizes Yeonwoo ㄴBut there are so many celebrities with bad personalities these days, but there’s really nothing to criticize about himㅠㅠ His acting, personality, and looksㅠㅠ He’s perfect in every way -Yeonwoo, just receive. I’ll be the one spending. [I thought he didn’t know anything, but it turns out he’s a master……. Kang Yeonwoo, this scary kid.] The child spirit, who was a ghost, clicked his tongue as he fell into internet addiction. Yeonwoo’s already good image became even better as word of mouth spread on SNS and online, and even became news articles. [Did you perhaps expect this?] “There’s no way.” All the words I said back then were sincere. There’s nothing as futile as material things. That’s why I said that, but……. ‘I didn’t know it would come back like this.’ I’ve been getting more lifespan lately. [Congratulations! You have secured a large amount of lifespan.] [The lifespan…….] I’m used to the notifications that pop up from time to time. Director Heo was happy about Yeonwoo’s news. “The PR team says they have nothing to do because Yeonwoo is there. They really like that just having Yeonwoo is enough for publicity? He’s a complete good luck charm.” Director Heo said, counting Min Writer’s words to test Yeonwoo as the best thing he did this year. “The fan service video we’re filming in Europe. The reaction is already amazing? Even if we schedule a special broadcast, it will take some time to air after we come back, so I was worried that viewers’ interest would wane, but there’s no need to worry!” “I can’t even imagine what would have happened to our drama if Yeonwoo hadn’t joined.” Writer Min also added a word. As if to respond to their expectations. [‘I’ll be back!’ ……D.MaGo drama team leaves for reward vacation] [‘Chaebol 3rd generation’ Kwon Seonghyun, ‘Grim Reaper’ Kang Yeonwoo show off airport fashion] [Together even when leaving. Kwon Seonghyun, Kang Yeonwoo ‘perfect chemistry’] Articles about the drama team leaving for their reward vacation decorated all kinds of media at once. Amidst the attention of many people, the plane carrying them finally took off.

“Are you okay? Would you like another glass of water?”
“No……. I’m okay…….”
[Yeonwoo, how can you be worse at flying than me, a ghost?]
“Quiet…….” The approximately 12-hour flight was enough to kill a person.
“I should have given you motion sickness medicine if I had known in advance. I was careless. I should have taken care of it first…….”
“I’ve never been on a plane……. It’s not Kwon Seonghyun’s fault…….”
“Don’t talk. Your face looks terrible.” He definitely said it was the most comfortable seat. ‘Was it called first class?’ It was a wide seat like a simple capsule hotel where you could lie down completely and there were partitions. It was the widest and most comfortable seat, but Yeonwoo was still dying.
“No, why does the person who went to first class look like that? We who rode in business class were completely comfortable. Looking at your face, it looks like you rode in the luggage compartment, Yeonwoo.” Writer Heo clicked his tongue. I don’t know what spirit I had to go through immigration and get out of the gate. When Yeonwoo came outside, he felt an even more severe throbbing in his already throbbing head. It was a natural thing. [Oh……. Foreign ghosts……!]
The same scenery that I saw in Korea was unfolding here as well. I wondered if it would be. ‘As expected…….’ Of course, there were other things as well. [Wow. They really look completely different from us. Their hair is yellow! Their eyes are blue! Their noses are high! Huh? There’s one thing that’s not?] The child spirit scurries off somewhere. ‘Wherever you go, people all live the same.’ The ghost world is similar. ‘Surely……. The accommodation isn’t like this, is it?’ I’m already feeling uneasy. The problem is that Yeonwoo’s ‘feeling’ is always right. This time, the what if caught someone. Yeonwoo’s anxiety came true.
***
The accommodation is located slightly away from the city center. The antique exterior of a castle built in the Middle Ages was the 5-star hotel where they would be staying.
“Wow……. Is this a hotel? Or is it some kind of tourist attraction?”
“This is amazing. Look at the level of the accommodation. It’s supposed to be a 5-star hotel, but a castle came out…….”
“Kwon Seonghyun, aren’t you overdoing it because of us? It wouldn’t have been cheap to upgrade to this kind of accommodation…….”
“No. I heard it wasn’t a big deal.” The staff who saw the accommodation couldn’t close their open mouths. They said they would be staying for 3 nights, not just 1 night, in a picturesque castle that only appears in fairy tales or movies.
“The advance team said the team would faint if they saw it, and it was true.”
“When I looked it up, it said that a nobleman with a very high title used to live here. He supported the arts a lot, so the works exhibited here are at the level of a gallery.”
“It looks like it. It’s not a hotel, it’s like a tourist attraction where you have to buy a ticket to enter.” Everyone clicked their tongues. Yeonwoo clicked his tongue in a different sense. ‘How are there more ghosts than the four-lane road in the middle of Seoul?’ What’s even more frustrating is, ‘What are they even saying?’ Ghosts with strange hairstyles that looked like they had rolled up white toilet paper and stuck it to their heads flocked together and chattered in words that I couldn’t understand. I was uneasy from the moment I saw the castle. ‘Surely that castle isn’t the accommodation, is it?’ But it was that surely. Yeonwoo was able to see a large number of people in strange costumes that he had only seen in classic movies. As the castle was large, there were many people who lived there and many beings who were very attached to the castle itself. In particular, those in flamboyant costumes were likely to be nobles who owned the castle or their relatives. [I don’t understand a single word they’re saying. But I know this. They’re really annoying.] The child spirit grumbled with a dissatisfied face. The reason was that a ghost wearing a ridiculous costume and wig raised the end of his chin, pointed his finger, and arrogantly chattered to himself. The problem was that there were hundreds of those guys. The feeling of motion sickness that had disappeared after getting off the plane is coming back. Yeonwoo was not very close to foreign languages. ‘I’m feeling uneasy for some reason.’ The feeling isn’t good. Even though it’s an old castle, it’s just an accommodation without much historical significance, but there are so many ghosts here. What will the tourist attractions that I will be traveling to in the future be like! If I go to tourist attractions that are older, more famous, and more meaningful than this hotel……. [Hello? Hello? Why can’t you understand anything?! Hey, don’t you know it’s the 21st century?! In this era of globalization, you should have at least one global language! Death is not the end. You have to hone yourself to be a true ghost! In that sense, you are disqualified as ghosts!] Even the child spirit was talking nonsense. Listening to that, Yeonwoo quickly took out a memo pad. Taking out a daily loan memo pad in front of a quiet old castle in Europe, Austria, gave a very special feeling. [Huh? Uh oh? Yeonwoo, what are you doing……?]
“Protection Talisman.”
[What?! Hey?! Are you betraying me now to save yourself?! Is that what you’re doing?!]
“It’s not betrayal. I’m a person. You’re a ghost. People live with people, and ghosts live with ghosts.”
[No, shouldn’t you leave me with guys who can communicate?! Yeonwoo? Yeonwoo?!] Whether the child spirit did that or not. The protection talisman, completed by drawing straight lines with a pen, quietly burned and turned to ashes on Yeonwoo’s palm without a flame. When he blew it into the air, the ghosts who were chattering noisily disappeared as if they had vanished.
“That’s how it should be.” I feel a little better now. What Yeonwoo used was a kind of barrier that prevents them from approaching him for a certain period of time. Yeonwoo didn’t really like using this talisman. It feels like putting a layer of stuffy cloth over your eyes? It can be seen as a sense of restraint like wearing something. That’s not wrong. It’s like putting up a shield so you can’t see what you should always see. Because of the protection talisman, the child spirit was also separated from Yeonwoo, but……. Who cares.
“Yeonwoo! What are you doing there alone! The accommodation has all been assigned. You look tired, so hurry up and get your key and go up and rest.” After suffering from headaches and motion sickness for twelve hours, and even having a foreign language phobia, his condition must not have been good. To be honest, it wasn’t so much because of the number of ghosts, but because he was swept away by the flood of foreign languages.
“Give me your luggage. I think Yeonwoo is going to collapse while carrying it.” Kwon Seonghyun cheerfully took Yeonwoo’s luggage. He would have refused if it were normal, but not now. Yeonwoo collapsed onto the pure white and fluffy goose duvet as if he had fainted.
“I haven’t used it in a while, but it’s driving me crazy.” Surely I won’t have to keep using the protection talisman? Foreign ghosts were too different from the ghosts Yeonwoo knew. Instead of fearing the spiritual power of the shaman lineage, they clung to him even more. What kind of nonsense is this? They’re too different, so I didn’t know how to deal with them. ‘Forcibly sending them to the afterlife is completely different from exorcising evil spirits, so I can’t just do it recklessly.’ I don’t know. Let’s just sleep for now. I’ll figure it out when I wake up tomorrow. Yeonwoo closed his eyes, desperately ignoring the fact that he had lost not to a ghost, but to a foreign language. And the next day. Bweeet! [You bad traitor!] A bright yellow object rushed towards Yeonwoo’s face.
