The Tumor

231

“Heh heh…….”

Park Hee-cheol simply laughed instead of answering.

Then, Hyeonseong asked again.

“Is it effective?”

“Congratulations.”

“Pardon?”

“It’s definitely different from before. I felt a burning pain earlier, but after your treatment, my stomach feels much better.”

“Really?”

Hyeonseong couldn’t believe it. He had some hope, but he never thought it would actually work.

He didn’t do anything special. He just focused his mind on healing the injured area and sent good energy.

But how could this happen…….

It’s unbelievable, but the important thing is that the other person feels comfortable.

Hyeonseong was left alone after Park Hee-cheol left.

Ring ring.

The phone rang.

“Hello.”

– Oppa [Korean term for older brother, used by females], it’s me.

“Oh? Inhye, what’s wrong?”

– Mom is very sick.

“What are you talking about?”

– I’m scared. What should I do about my mom?

“Wait a minute. I’ll be right there.”

Click.

Hyeonseong hung up the phone, left the store, and started running towards Seo Inhye’s house.

About 20 minutes passed.

Hyeonseong arrived at Seo Inhye’s house and rushed into the main room.

Seo Inhye’s mother, Lee Se-hee, was lying down, complaining of pain.

Hyeonseong looked at Seo Inhye and asked first.

“When did this start?”

“She was fine after dinner, but suddenly she started complaining of stomach pain…….”

Seo Inhye was too nervous to speak properly.

Hyeonseong immediately grabbed Lee Se-hee’s hand.

Then, he immediately focused his mind.

After a while.

“Auntie, does it hurt here?”

Hyeonseong immediately found Lee Se-hee’s painful area. It was the small intestine between the stomach and the large intestine.

Hyeonseong judged it to be intestinal colic [abdominal pain caused by spasm or obstruction in the intestines].

Hyeonseong looked at Seo Inhye and asked.

“Did you eat greasy food for dinner?”

“Yes, we grilled pork belly [a popular Korean dish] for the first time in a while. But she ate quite a bit.”

“It seems like that’s what caused it. Her small intestine was surprised by the sudden overload.”

Intestinal colic is similar to enteritis [inflammation of the small intestine] and often occurs when there are sudden changes in diet or physical activity, causing a stabbing or blocked feeling.

Hyeonseong laid Lee Se-hee down comfortably. Then, he concentrated and began to infuse her with Qi [vital energy]. He followed the same method he had used on Park Hee-cheol earlier.

The Qi that escaped from Hyeonseong’s body naturally entered Lee Se-hee’s body, began to envelop the painful area, and helped the flow of the small intestine.

How much time had passed?

Lee Se-hee’s breathing began to stabilize. The cold sweat flowing down her face had stopped.

Hyeonseong looked at Lee Se-hee and asked.

“How do you feel?”

“Hoo, I feel like I can live now. But what did you just do?”

“It seems like there was some trouble in your small intestine because you suddenly ate a lot of greasy food. I infused Qi into that area to clear the blocked flow.”

“What?”

Lee Se-hee couldn’t understand what Hyeonseong was saying. But the important thing was that the pain that had made it difficult for her to breathe had disappeared.

Lee Se-hee asked again.

“What are you talking about?”

“I can’t really explain it…….”

Hyeonseong was also dumbfounded. He had a new experience while treating Park Hee-cheol. At first, he doubted it. But as time passed, he could feel his Qi flowing through his hands and into the other person’s body.

And he realized that the Qi was healing the other person’s pain.

The same was true for Lee Se-hee earlier.

At first, he was skeptical. He wasn’t sure if he could find the painful area. But the moment he grabbed her hand, he could feel where the problem was.

So he immediately started infusing Qi. As expected, the Qi that entered the other person’s body began to heal the painful area on its own.

But the amazing thing was that the process was drawn in his mind.

Lee Se-hee looked at Hyeonseong and asked.

“You don’t even know yourself?”

“Yes, I don’t really know what it is. Since a few days ago, if I hold someone’s hand, I can feel their pain. Of course, it doesn’t apply to everyone.”

“So, Hyeonseong is saying that if he holds someone’s hand, he can know where they hurt?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s amazing, but it’s possible.”

“But it doesn’t work on just anyone?”

Hyeonseong nodded.

Then Lee Se-hee asked again.

“When did this start?”

“It hasn’t been long. A few days ago, I held the hand of an auntie who works at our restaurant, and I found out that she had gastritis [inflammation of the stomach lining]. I didn’t know what it was then and just passed it by.”

“That was the first time?”

“Yes, and the next day I held another person’s hand, and this person was more serious.”

“Was it a big illness?”

Hyeonseong nodded and continued.

“It was a tumor.”

“A tumor? That’s cancer, isn’t it?”

“Yes, that’s right. It was early-stage liver cancer.”

“Did you go to the hospital to confirm?”

“Yes, the hospital confirmed it. So that’s when I realized I had that ability.”

Lee Se-hee looked at Hyeonseong with a curious expression.

Then she asked again.

“How about the healing ability?”

“I didn’t even think about that, but I found out about that ability for the first time because of an old man before I came here.”

“So I’m the second one.”

“That’s right. Anyway, you were lucky.”

“I know, right? If it wasn’t for Hyeonseong, I would have been taken to the hospital and it would have been a mess, but I’m so glad it was resolved so quietly.”

Lee Se-hee grabbed Hyeonseong’s hand as a sign of gratitude.

Then Hyeonseong said again.

“Auntie, your digestive system is naturally weak, isn’t it?”

“Why? Do you feel something again?”

“Your stomach is also very weak.”

“That’s right, that’s why I live on digestive medicine. Can this be cured too?”

Hyeonseong chuckled.

Then Lee Se-hee smiled awkwardly.

At that time, Seo Inhye, who was next to her, stretched out her hand and said.

“Oppa, check if I have any pain too.”

“I’m not a doctor…….”

“Is there a separate doctor? If you heal sick people, that’s a doctor. Isn’t that right? Oppa.”

Seo Inhye smiled and looked at Hyeonseong.

Hyeonseong had no choice but to grab Seo Inhye’s hand and start concentrating.

After a while.

Hyeonseong opened his mouth.

“Inhye, your stomach is weak too. You should be careful about what you eat. Especially avoid flour-based foods as much as possible.”

“Wow! Oppa, you’re really amazing. I feel strangely unwell when I eat flour-based foods. There was a reason for that.”

“You should avoid spicy foods as much as possible in the future.”

“Yes, yes, Doctor. Hoho.”

Seo Inhye continued with a smile.

Then Hyeonseong chuckled as he looked at Seo Inhye.

Hyeonseong returned to the store.

In his hand was a business card. It was the business card that Chairman Shin Chun-oh had given him last time.

Hyeonseong made a phone call.

Beep beep beep.

The signal rang a few times, and the other party answered the phone.

– Hello.

“Chairman, it’s me.”

– Oh? Who is this? Isn’t it President Kim?

“Did the biopsy results come out?”

– Yes, it did. And it turned out to be malignant as you expected. I’m scheduled to receive treatment starting next week. Anyway, is that why you called?

“Of course, that’s also part of it, but I had an amazing experience today.”

– An amazing experience? What is it?

“Well, that is…….”

Hyeonseong began to explain what had happened today. When Hyeonseong’s explanation was over, Chairman Shin Chun-oh asked loudly in surprise.

– Is that really true?

“Yes, it is. I was so amazed that I’m telling you, Chairman.”

– No, how could such a thing happen? No, it’s not strange. From the beginning, finding out the other person’s illness through physical contact was absurd. Then it wouldn’t be unreasonable to treat the disease, would it? Don’t you think so?

“I can’t explain it in words, but the important thing is that it’s possible.”

– Then, I wonder if I can be treated too. What do you think?

“Actually, that’s why I called you. I can’t guarantee it, but if it can be cured that way, I wouldn’t want anything more.”

– How great would it be if that were the case? Then I want to go down there tomorrow, is that okay?

“I don’t mind. I’m just worried that you might be tired…….”

– What’s so tiring? If I can get rid of the disease that way, I can go down there not ten times but a hundred times.”

“Yes, I understand. Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Click.

Hyeonseong hung up the phone and went into the inner room.

The next day evening.

About 10 minutes after closing, Chairman Shin Chun-oh opened the store door and came in.

“President Kim, I’m here.”

“Welcome. Was it uncomfortable coming here?”

“What’s uncomfortable for me? Rather, I was even excited with hopeful anticipation.”

“Is that so? I couldn’t sleep well last night after talking to you. When I thought about treating you, I was curious about the result and couldn’t sleep.”

That’s true. I called him first with some hope, but when Chairman Shin Chun-oh said he would come down in person, I couldn’t help but be nervous.

It’s not just anything, it’s a tumor.

It was definitely a different problem than Park Hee-cheol’s gastritis or Lee Se-hee’s intestinal colic, so I was worried.

Hyeonseong looked at Chairman Shin Chun-oh and said.

“Let’s go into the inner room first.”

“Okay, let’s treat it first and talk later.”

Hyeonseong took Chairman Shin Chun-oh to the inner room.

Hyeonseong, who came into the room, said.

“Lie down here. Lie down in the most comfortable position possible.”

“Okay.”

As Chairman Shin Chun-oh lay down, Hyeonseong naturally grabbed Chairman Shin Chun-oh’s hand. Then he began to concentrate all his mind on his fingertips.

Was it because of experience?

As soon as he grabbed Chairman Shin Chun-oh’s hand, he could feel the tumor. Unlike the feeling he had last time, it felt more certain.

Wriggle.

As Hyeonseong infused Qi, he could feel the tumor resisting as if it were defending itself. The more it did, the more Hyeonseong began to infuse Qi with all his might.

There was no separate war.

The tumor trying to protect itself and the energy trying to eliminate the tumor were fighting against each other.

At some point, cold sweat began to pour from his body. It was definitely different from treating Park Hee-cheol or Lee Se-hee yesterday in terms of physical exertion.

Buzz.

Hyeonseong began to infuse stronger energy.

How much time had passed?

The resistance of the tumor, which had been so strong at first, began to weaken at some point. But the problem was that Hyeonseong’s energy had also reached its limit.

‘Just a little more!’

Hyeonseong infused Qi with all his remaining strength.

After a while.

Thud.

Hyeonseong lost strength in his whole body without realizing it and fell to the side.

Then Chairman Shin Chun-oh called Hyeonseong loudly.

“Hey!”

“…….”

Hyeonseong had no more answers.
