Yun-gi's family was common, and even among commoners, they were poor. However, in this poverty where it was difficult to obtain even meat or grain, Yun-gi ate a lot of meat, enough to be considered a nobleman.
“Mother, what animal is this?”
“Huh? Um… My father said he got it from doing something big.”
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
“There is something like that. Are you really hungry? Eat quickly.”
Yoon-ki asked his parents what kind of meat it was, but they always brushed it off. Having eaten a lot of it since childhood, and assuming other commoners lived the same way, Yoon-ki simply brushed it off.
While things were going smoothly, strange things started happening to Yoon-gi recently. Things would disappear one by one, and after waking up, he would find himself with wounds one by one. Even when he wasn't feeling well, his memories would occasionally break out.
At first, I didn't think much of it and just let it go, but as time passed, the frequency and intensity of the pain increased, so I couldn't stand it anymore and tried to see a shaman. However, since Yoon-gi knew that his family was not in good shape, he just held on.
Yun-gi, who felt that the more he endured, the more worn out and weak he became, went to see a famous exorcist.
“What brings you here?”
“Oh… I came to see you because I haven’t been feeling well lately.”
“I can only know if you tell me where and how it is good.”
“What is wrong with you that has brought you to me?”
“Well, things go missing, or I get hurt… and sometimes I don’t remember things.”
“I think I see a little ghost...”
"yes?"
“No, please come back later.”
“I’ll put a talisman on you later, so you’d better come back.”
“Thank you… but I don’t have any money, so I can’t give you any money… How about coming over to my house and having a meal later?”
“I have to go home later and put up a talisman, so please treat me to a meal then.”
“If you write it down on this piece of paper, I will send you a message and find the time.”
“Okay, I understand. Let’s talk again later.”
Yun-gi gave his address to the exorcist, and a few days later, the exorcist came to his house. Yun-gi's parents treated him to meat and left the house, saying they had something to do. The exorcist frowned at the sight of the meat and whispered in a voice too small for Yun-gi to hear.
“…I wondered what kind of meat it was without money to give it to him, but it turned out to be human flesh.”
