Episode 139
The SBC Director briefly looked at the monitor screen and quietly picked up his cell phone. The screen showed the currently trending video on InTube.
He could see that a string of follow-up articles would come pouring out again.
“Oh, Director Na.”
Coolly and smartly, just like the drama director of SBC where only elites gathered.
“Let’s properly put some soul into Ju Junseo’s shirtless scene, shall we.”
The Center Director who had finished his call with Director Na of caught his breath for a moment. Then he let out a lion’s roar.
“Release the making-of and behind-the-scenes footage!!!”
What had fired was a flaming arrow. They needed to extinguish the spark.
Intube

What would appeal well to the public? First, they had to think lightly. Yes. The point was ‘something light’.
Jegal Rok, the protagonist of JC ENM’s innovation who understood everything from consumer needs to the A to Z of generating buzz, adjusted his glasses while watching the reaction to episode 1.
It was as expected. Simultaneously with episode 1, the spotlight began to focus on .
“Circulate more variety show clips. Attach them with the Divine Possession fraud record memes.”
Dramas that air in real-time are only watched by those who make an effort to watch them. This means that quite a few viewers come only after hearing that it’s an ‘interesting’ drama.
Jegal Rok threw the bait of Han Yeoreum’s variety show to the public.
So that not only viewers who knew the beginning, development, climax, and conclusion of episode 1 would come to watch episode 2, but also viewers who casually encountered it through variety shows could come in.
-@유지연 Hey look at this lol you couldn’t get any of these right
︎˪At that level, she could really build a building just doing Tarot at Konkuk University;
-This person is that person, right? Pachehim ㅋㅋㅋ I thought they’d have a personality like Pichaewon but it’s unexpected, seems closer to Hina?
-(To Kwon Junhyeok who got them all wrong after she got them all right) Senior Officer…
︎˪(While knowing nothing but acting incredibly reliable) Just like that.
Why are you suddenly hitting Kwon Junhyuk? Our baby is crying ㅠ
I wish they would make it official.. I’m dying inside ㅠㅠㅜㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ this is seriously insane
Coincidentally, the image Yeoreum showed on meshed well with Seoryeong from . Comments calling Yeoreum a ‘foolish regretful girl’ were often seen.
‘Reigniting the previous buzz.’
The previous video clip settled comfortably into the real-time popular videos.
Now, out of curiosity about Yeoreum who received Divine Possession, they would either watch tonight’s episode 2 or search for on InTube.
For one work to succeed, they had to lay such intricate spider web-like traps. Jegal Rok’s cell phone rang excitedly on his desk as he watched the public getting caught one by one.
Buzz- Buzz-.
After checking the name on the screen, Jegal Rok deliberately answered the phone with slow movements.
“Yes. This is Jegal Rok.”
-That, that thing we talked about last time! That thing!
The person on the other end of the line was the section chief of the Traditional Culture Division at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
-Let’s proceed right away!
Southeast Asia where would be exported, South Korea’s hanbok business and foreign tourists, Namwon, Jeollabuk-do which was ‘s provincial filming location and its specialty apples. And the Creamy Soda and White Makgeolli that Han Yeoreum was advertising.
“Yes. I’ll speed things up.”
What got caught in Jegal Rok’s spider web wasn’t just drama viewers. They began getting caught one by one in the intricately designed net.
This was right after just episode 1 aired.

Chapter 2.
The Crown Prince Ghost
“Jeongan! Look what I brought.”
Seoryeong, who had flung open the door with impatient hands, burst majestically into the old hut. Her bright smile was innocent.
Rustling as she untied her bundle, Seoryeong held up flower shoes high in one hand.
“Look at this! Please throw away those beggar-like shoes and wear these now. Pretty, right? Pretty enough to forget that damn non-possession?”
Seoryeong’s cheeks rose as she giggled. Eyes sparkling, Seoryeong looked for Jeongan. Still no sign of anyone could be heard.
And whoosh-, a small wind sound was heard eerily. Seoryeong’s raised corners of her mouth gradually returned to their place.
“Jeongan? Where are you?”
Seoryeong called Jeongan’s name as she headed toward the back of the old hut.
The ominous wind sound continued to be heard. The hollow sound of a flute sadly filled the silence. Rustling footsteps trembled for a moment.
Unlike her stride when she had run toward Jeongan, Seoryeong’s steps searching for Jeongan were extremely slow.
Behind the hut, Jeongan had collapsed in front of an old water bowl.
The bracelet tied to Jeongan’s wrist, the same kind Seoryeong wore, was broken and scattered in pieces on the ground.
Seoryeong quietly looked down at Jeongan. The flower shoes in her hand were so pretty, unlike the current situation.
So much so that they didn’t match the Buddhist Nun wearing robes stained with dirt and blood.
“Jeongan…?”
Seoryeong called her name softly. Her face looked as if she didn’t know that no answer would return.
The ground is dirty, so why are you lying like this? It seemed like if she asked innocently, Jeongan would get up for her.
There was no change in Seoryeong’s expression.
She just stared at Jeongan with clear eyes as if time had stopped.
“Jeongan.”
And she called her name again. Still, Jeongan did not open her mouth.
Seoryeong’s tender voice faintly split the cold and lonely night air.
“Jeongan.”
Seoryeong, who had been so fastidious about cleanliness, crouched down beside Jeongan who was covered in dirty filth, wearing silk clothes. She didn’t care that her hem got dirty.
Seoryeong raised her trembling hand and gently shook Jeongan. Jeongan’s stiff body lightly bumped against the water bowl. The clear water inside sadly wet the ground.
Seoryeong called Jeongan’s name several times.
The first string of the gayageum trembled and resonated low. The sound continued long and was heard precariously as if swept away by the wind.
“I brought flower shoes….”
Over the sobbing-like sound of the gayageum, Seoryeong’s voice was heard as if breaking. The wind sound came from far away. The cool wind seemed to tell Seoryeong.
That from now on, you’re alone.
“They’re really good ones.”
Slowly, Seoryeong sat down beside Jeongan. Seoryeong’s back view as she hugged her knees as if cold and stayed silently beside Jeongan was particularly small and shabby.
“They’re really expensive ones.”
The sound of a daegeum like a mournful breath spread over Seoryeong’s muttering voice. The long, sobbing-like notes filled the silence.
Whoosh-, Seoryeong’s helpless heart was embedded in the slow and sorrowful performance.
“….”
Seoryeong sat there silently beside Jeongan like that. For a very long time, really for a very, very long time…. Seoryeong’s face couldn’t be seen as she showed her back.
Jeongan’s last words were heard.
To the child.
Jeongan didn’t know Seoryeong’s name. Because Seoryeong hadn’t told her. When she said what’s the point of telling you my name anyway since I’ll die early, what had Jeongan said.
Right. She had answered that living life, there comes a day when you want to say your name first.
, fearlessly and freely, , with no obstacles in the heart,
And yet you left without even listening to my name.
, unshakeable and firm like a mountain,
Seoryeong drew out a laugh like a small cough from her solar plexus and slowly raised her head.
As if Jeongan, who said she was going to meet the sky, was still lingering somewhere beyond.
, if it is the righteous path, do not avoid it.
The sun slowly rose from the east.
, the bright path will shine through to the end.
Like warm sunlight, a voice filled with Jeongan’s warmth could be heard.
Everything will flow according to natural order.
Open your eyes that were distant from revenge and enjoy your natural lifespan.
Jeongan.
As if to deceive Seoryeong who was left alone in the world, the world was mercilessly and dazzlingly bright.

A pale-faced man was reflected in a mirror stand that looked expensive at first glance.
The hands that neatly groomed his appearance were light as a feather. His heart felt like it could fly. Seonghui, who had been humming, took a deep, calm breath.
“I have finished all preparations.”
Clatter-.
At Seonghui’s words, the door immediately opened to both sides. His steps as he left the room and walked down the wide hallway were dignified.
As if he had become the master of this palace.
Having arrived in front of the door to the grand and majestic office, Seonghui could not contain his excited heart. The corners of his mouth kept rising.
“His Highness the Grand Prince enters-.”
At the servant’s announcement, a weighty permission flowed from inside.
“Tell him to enter.”
The king, wearing clothes embroidered with golden thread depicting a roaring tiger, did not even make eye contact despite the presence. He merely picked up one of the papers stacked on his desk to read.
“Have you been well all this time?”
Seonghui politely bowed to his father sitting in the high place and greeted him. His father gave a small nod.
“Yes. You said you have something to tell me.”
Then he asked Seonghui in an indifferent tone. Seonghui carefully opened his mouth.
“Have you heard about the places I have been taking care of, including Cheonmaekji?”
“Mm.”
“There were places isolated deep in the mountains or blocked by rivers. However, since I have prepared methods, after the next winter passes, it will be much easier to come and go.”
Seonghui elaborated on the results he had achieved after reaching places far from the palace. His voice gradually trembled with excitement.
The king picked up his brush and began writing. His elegant handwriting crossed the white paper.
“Therefore, Your Majesty, please return Yunhui and me to our original positions.”
At those words, the king’s hand came to an abrupt stop.
