Chapter 81: 80
"W...what do you mean?"
Siwoo speaks to Seulgi in a puzzled voice.
"Why are you surprised? You want to know why Sehee became like that in just one day?"
Seulgi continues to speak calmly as if it is no big deal.
"Yeah..."
"Give me your hand~!!"
Seulgi said, putting both hands on the table and melting, palms facing upward.
Si-woo seems to hesitate for a moment, then places his hands on top of Seul-gi's palms.
"I think something happened to Sehee unnie after she fell asleep last night~! We'll check it out together from now on~! You have to concentrate! If you're not honest with yourself, nothing will come across!"
Seulgi speaks to Siwoo, who was reading fortune telling with a light heart.
"Yes..."
Siwoo was answering as he felt the soft touch of Seulgi's hand holding him.
**
Is there a human being who has never given or received a gift?
Is there a human being in the world who has never seen a video?
It may be Si-woo himself who is piecing together memories he freely associates with the words he spits out at random.
Maybe Seulgi actually has a special advanced skill that allows her to read other people's non-verbal expressions or clues through words scattered like ground food...
Something like magic... superpowers...
There is no way such convenient fantasy tools exist in the real world.
Siwoo thought there was no way Seulgi could find out about the sexual relationship he had with Sehee's sister that happened yesterday.
And yet, deep within my heart, the anxiety and doubts that constantly repeat and stir...
Siwoo falls into the feeling of being lost.
"Something is appearing~"
Seulgi is talking to Si-woo in an excited, exaggerated tone with her eyes fixed inside the crystal ball.
"What...what?"
Siwoo asks Seulgi in a nervous voice.
"It looks like a smartphone? It looks like a lock..."
Seulgi quietly mutters to herself, barely audible.
Seulgi raised her head for a moment and looked at Siwoo.
"Siwoo, take a good look too!"
Siwoo looks at the crystal ball that Seulgi is looking into.
Lights like pieces of stardust were moving dizzyingly, filling the abyssal space inside the crystal ball.
Moment,
A vaguely drawn and disappearing image of numbers catches Siwoo's eyes.
Siwoo's face hardened as if he was surprised.
Small pieces of light drawn inside a crystal ball
It was a list of familiar numbers that Siwoo knew.
It's Seyoung's birthday...
Siwoo's recently set smartphone password...
"What do you think? Do you think you got the answer?"
Before you know it, Seulgi is smiling softly, making eye contact with Siwoo and asking.
**
Are you saying Sehee checked her smartphone while she was sleeping last night?
How did Sehee's sister know that Seyoung's birthday was the password?
Or rather, how does Seulgi know that?
Could it be that Seulgi really saw what happened yesterday with her supernatural powers?
Siwoo had a surprised expression and was struggling to process the unanswered questions in his head.
Seulgi saw Siwoo looking confused, and as if she understood, she pulled the hand she was holding and made Siwoo's body lean forward.
Seulgi lifts her hips slightly, leans forward and puts her lips to Siwoo's ear.
Seulgi spoke as if whispering in Siwoo's ear.
'It's definitely going to be okay~ Mom, Se-jin, Se-hee, Se-young... and us too...'
A familiar whisper, as if I've experienced it somewhere...
Siwoo's head went blank and he couldn't think of anything anymore.
"That's all I can tell you right now~!! If you do more, you'll be charged extra~! Thank you for your hard work~"
Seulgi looks at Siwoo's face and smiles kindly.
**
When I opened the curtain and glass door and came out, Cheoljin was guided by teacher Yu Ye-na and stood there as if waiting for his next turn.
"How was it? Was it fun?"
Cheoljin's voice is still lively...
"Huh?...Uh..."
Siwoo answers as if in a daze
"What's wrong? Is the person I'm going to marry in the future cheating on me?"
Cheoljin tells Siwoo a silly joke.
After trying a few more practical jokes as if to tease Si-woo, who was dumbfounded, Cheol-jin disappears into a room with blackout curtains.
Siwoo felt like he was dreaming.
Seulgi knew Siwoo's situation so accurately that she said anything around her.
In particular, the number shown in the last crystal ball was not something that could be faked even if one tried.
I tried to calm my confused mind, but the agitation did not subside easily.
"How was your fortune telling? Seulgi is famous among teachers for her fortune telling skills?!!"
Teacher Yu Ye-na speaks as if bragging about her niece's skills.
"Ah... uh... yes... Joe... it was good."
Siwoo didn't know what to say first, so he opened his mouth and could barely get the words out.
"Are you okay? I think your complexion is a little off."
Teacher Yoo Ye-na asks Si-woo as if she is worried.
"Hey...is...is it true?"
Si-Woo asks a question to teacher Yu-Ye-Na.
"What do you mean~?"
Teacher Yoo Ye-na asks Si-woo in a playful tone, as if teasing him.
"So...inside...Seulgi..."
Si-woo was trying to keep the unorganized words out of his head.
At that moment, teacher Yoo Ye-na raises her index finger to Si-woo's lips.
And he stops Si-woo from speaking next.
"We decided to keep everything we said inside a secret, right?"
Teacher Yoo Ye-na spoke in a detached tone as if she understood what Si-woo wanted to say.
"Well...Still!!!"
Si-woo was looking at Teacher Yu-na, as if pleading for something.
"Now~ Calm down~ Calm down~"
Teacher Yoo Ye-na comes forward, wraps both arms around Si-woo's body and rubs his back as if comforting a small child.
Teacher Yu Ye-na's voluptuous breasts touch Si-woo's chest.
In the midst of confusion, Si-woo's heart felt at ease as he was enveloped in an unfamiliar warmth, and he seemed to be calming down a little.
**
Si-woo returns to the director's office and sits awkwardly on the sofa, waiting for Cheol-jin.
Teacher Yoo Ye-na brought Si-woo a glass of water and then sat down on the desk chair to organize documents.
Time passes in silence for a while.
After a deep hug that brought our bodies into close contact, I felt like the atmosphere between the two people had changed a lot compared to before.
I felt like I couldn't mention anything more about Seulgi and what happened in the room with the blackout curtains hanging down.
Instead, Si-woo talks about a different topic.
"Is Seyoung receiving psychological treatment well? Was it hypnosis counseling?"
Si-Woo said while carefully observing his thoughts.
Teacher Yoo Ye-na looked at Si-woo and smiled slightly.
"Yes, I am also receiving psychological therapy along with magic classes."
Teacher Yu Ye-na answers kindly.
"Has Seyoung learned how to hypnotize?"
"I'll learn all the basics from now on~ It's like a stage performance that goes hand in hand with psychology."
"It's not dangerous, right?"
Siwoo talks about things that usually bother him.
"Something dangerous? Huhu~ Something dangerous~?"
Teacher Yoo Ye-na asked Si-woo back in a joking tone like before.
"So, they make you do strange things while under hypnosis…"
"Well~? What is that~?"
Teacher Yoo Ye-na tilts her head and talks as if she doesn't know anything about that.
Siwoo blushes slightly at the teacher's coquettish nod.
Si-Woo begins to worry that his vague concerns or doubts might hurt Teacher Yu-Ye-Na's feelings.
Si-woo was thinking that the random whispers that Se-young sometimes tried to tell him might be related to the hypnosis class.
-Even more so after seeing the strange rumor about the academy that I heard from Cheoljin in the morning, as well as Seulgi's revised score that she just won-
Teacher Yoo Ye-na seems to have sensed Si-woo's thoughts, immediately adjusts her posture and speaks.
"You don't have to worry about that, because hypnosis can't make you do anything you don't want to do."
"You can't make me do anything I don't want??"
Si-woo asks, repeating what teacher Yu Ye-na said.
"Hypnosis is similar to getting someone else to open the refrigerator door. Even if you ask them to open the refrigerator door for you, you wouldn't think you were hypnotized, right? They would think you were opening the refrigerator door because you were asked to do so."
"I guess so?"
"Siwoo, can you make someone else open the refrigerator door without them knowing without asking?"
"Well? Is there a way?"
"If it were me, I would put the person's favorite food in the refrigerator and let him know. Especially when the person is hungry."
"Oh~!"
"What we do during hypnotherapy is to find hidden desires in the unconscious and help them achieve them. It's just a matter of hinting that there is food in the refrigerator that the person likes. If the refrigerator doesn't contain the food they want in the first place, open the refrigerator door. "You won't be able to do it. So you can never make someone do something you don't want~"
Teacher Yu Ye-na's explanations continue while reassuring Si-woo...
Si-woo seemed to fall into a dreamlike mood as he listened to Teacher Yu Ye-na's soft voice.
Si-woo thinks about Teacher Yu Ye-na's voluptuous breasts in the refrigerator.
Si-woo, feeling slightly tired, thought that maybe Teacher Yu-na was hypnotizing him.
