The study was quiet.
On the laptop screen, Park Ji-hun's broadcast was still going.
Yoon Ji-yeon's Spirit Reading had already ended, and on screen, Park Ji-hun was taking his next caller as if nothing had happened.
Kim Tae-hun stared at the laptop screen for a while, then slowly turned down the volume.
W̊ е b̂ n̄о ṽ ѐ.l E n ú ṁ а̂
Yoon Ji-yeon spoke first.
"Don't worry about it too much."

Kim Tae-hun's gaze turned to her.
"He told you to get a detailed pancreas exam."
He said it shortly.
"That's what's bothering me."
Еn̄ù m̃ ӓ_. і̀ d
Yoon Ji-yeon couldn't answer.
Nothing unusual had shown up in her pre-procedure tests not long ago.
But as far as Kim Tae-hun knew, Park Ji-hun's Spirit Readings had never once missed.
"The tests back then didn't show anything."

"I know."
Kim Tae-hun picked up his phone.

"Still, let's check again. Before the IVF procedure, we should clear up anything that doesn't sit right."
Yoon Ji-yeon looked at him.
"I'll get the exam. Just don't blow this out of proportion."
"I don't intend to. One moment."
Kim Tae-hun made the call right away.
The ringing didn't last long.

"Yes, sir."
Kim Tae-hun said,
"Schedule a detailed pancreas exam at Taesung Medical Center for tomorrow morning."
"Who will be receiving the exam?"
"My wife. Please also coordinate an appointment with the gastroenterology professor who specializes in pancreatobiliary care."
"Understood. I'll confirm and report back right away."

"And see that we get the results moved up as much as possible."
"Yes, sir."

The call ended, and Yoon Ji-yeon said,
"I really hope it turns out to be nothing."
Kim Tae-hun set down his phone.
"If it's nothing, then that's all we need."
W е̃ b̊ ňǒv̂е̊ l Еn ũṁа̊
That was what he said, but his eyes had already drifted back to the laptop.
A man that money, name, even the Taesung background couldn't sway.
That fact grated on him deeply.
But right now, Yoon Ji-yeon's health came first.

Just then, his phone rang again.
It was the Chief Secretary.

Kim Tae-hun answered immediately.
"How did it go?"
"Yes, sir. I've booked tomorrow at 10 a.m. at the Taesung Medical Center VIP screening center. The appointment with the pancreatobiliary specialist in gastroenterology has been coordinated for the same time."
"Good."
"The detailed readout may take a little time, but I'll push it up as far as I possibly can."
"Do that."

The call ended.
Yoon Ji-yeon asked,
"You've booked it already?"
Kim Tae-hun answered evenly.
"This is exactly what I built that hospital for."

Park Ji-hun worked through the remaining Paid Spirit Readings.
The questions were all over the place.

Job changes, a storefront location, family problems, even a lawsuit that had dragged on for years.
Park Ji-hun pointed out only as much as he could see and moved straight on.
"Don't take that company. If you go in, you'll be out within three months."
"The storefront is fine. But watch out for fire. There could be an accident."
Ĕ_ń ümа̇. і̌ d̆
"That person has no intention of settling. Don't wait; make the first move."
Short, and precise.
And with that, he finished all the Paid Spirit Readings.
But something was odd.

Normally, the backs of his eyes should have felt heavy, his body drained.
Today, though, he could still hold on.
Е̃ n u m̀ а̂. ìd̆
Park Ji-hun clenched and unclenched his hand.
'There's still some left.'
He felt like he could see a few more people.
No, maybe even more than that.
The Chat Window seemed to notice too, and slowly began to buzz.
-LegendDrumBarrel : huh? Broadcaster looks less wiped than usual today?

-NightStarB : it's cuz he hasn't done the free one yet
-GonggiriZ : does it feel empty without a free spirit reading or is it just me
-SsomyeonMaster : if YOU get picked for the free one your life might get empty lmaooo
Park Ji-hun scanned the Chat Window.
No one who needed a Free Spirit Reading had caught his eye yet.
That was when it happened.
W̆ е́ b̈ ǹо̇.vе̄ l̊ Ё ňŭ m̊а̃
A nickname that had just entered the broadcast snagged his sight.
[FizzyBread]

A dark aura had spread around the nickname.
Park Ji-hun said shortly,
"FizzyBread."
The Chat Window lagged for a moment, then reacted a beat late.
W̄ е bn оv̀.е̇ l Е ñû m а̊
-FizzyBread : yes?
-FizzyBread : me?
-BongcheonFireFist : here comes my midnight snack!
-LegendDrumBarrel : lol today's free spirit reading winner

Park Ji-hun spoke without looking at the Chat Window.
"Get on Discord."
A moment later, the Discord connection chime rang.
The sound of earbuds brushing against a mic came through clearly.
Then a teenage boy's voice came in.

"Uh...... can you hear me?"
"I can."
"That's insane. I literally just got here from a Shorts clip. I'm on the broadcast right now, right? Is this gonna be on YouTube later too?"
FizzyBread sounded flustered, yet was clearly enjoying the moment.
"Bro, the stuff in the Shorts isn't real, right? It's staged, right? Right?"
The Chat Window reacted instantly.

-LegendDrumBarrel : is this a high schooler? listen to him lmao
-Kkoka : voice is pure schoolkid

-NightStarB : he'll be a believer soon enough lol
FizzyBread seemed to have read the chat and snorted.
"Then guess what I'm doing right now."
Park Ji-hun didn't answer; he looked at the screen.

A Vision flickered past.
School uniform pants.
A workbook flipped face-down on a desk.
A supplementary-class notice crumpled into one corner.

Park Ji-hun said,
"You're going to school even though it's vacation."

"I'm a high schooler, obviously I go to school. Come on, that one's way too easy."
FizzyBread answered with a scoff.
Park Ji-hun continued.
"There's a spot you guys hit up whenever you get a break."
No answer came right away.
The Chat Window went quiet.

Park Ji-hun kept going.
"The three of you go there a lot. Not the main building. The old school building."
Some of the laughter drained out of FizzyBread's voice.
"......No, I mean, everyone at our school knows about that place?"
"You dig out the cigarettes you've got hidden there and smoke them. The second-floor bathroom......"
FizzyBread hurriedly blurted,
W e b n ǒ v̆ е́ l̀ Én ú m̄.â
"No. Hold on. How did you know that?"
The Vision grew sharper.

A narrow staircase.
A worn railing.
Boys running up, laughing.
A hand shoving playfully from behind.
W̄ е bn̈оv̄ е̂ l̃ _Еň ù m̌ ӓ
A shoulder was pushed, and FizzyBread's body tipped backward.
"One of the three is tall, right? Thick-rimmed glasses, some acne on his face."
"Yeah. There is."
"He pushes you."

FizzyBread answered right away.
"Him? Come on, why would he push me?"
Ė n_ü m а . i d
"He's not trying to hurt you. He'll shove you out of nowhere, like the usual horseplay."
The Chat Window slowed.
-LegendDrumBarrel : oof
-GonggiriZ : this got chilly all of a sudden
-NightStarB : accidents from horsing around are pretty common tbh
FizzyBread forced a laugh.

"Okay, so? If he pushes me, what, I fall over or something?"
"Yes."
Park Ji-hun continued at once.
"You fall backward."
"......."
"You tumble backward down the third-floor stairs."

FizzyBread's breathing grew faint.
Park Ji-hun didn't stop.

"Head first."
From beyond the Discord line came the creak of a chair.
"Why would you jinx me like that?"
"Because I can see it."

"No, but what if you're wrong? What if I don't get hurt?"
"Then all the better."
FizzyBread went quiet for a moment, as if at a loss for words.
Park Ji-hun looked straight at the screen and said,
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"Don't go to the old school building tomorrow."
"......."

"Even if your friends ask you to come smoke, do not go there, no matter what."
FizzyBread laughed, a beat too late.
The laugh was far thinner than before.
"So I just have to stay away from the old building, right?"
"Yes."
"Got it. I just won't go, okay?"

"Don't forget."
"I won't forget."
The answer was light, but the tail of his voice wavered slightly.
Park Ji-hun didn't hold him any longer.
"You can go."
"Oh, okay."

Only then did the Chat Window start moving quickly again.
-BongcheonFireFist : free spirit readings never just pass by quietly huh

-Ertel : there's gonna be a review post about this one
Park Ji-hun watched the Chat Window, then slowly closed his eyes.
The Free Spirit Reading was done too.

Normally, his body should have given out right about here.
But it hadn't.

Park Ji-hun flexed his fingertips once.
He still had strength left.
Before ending the broadcast, Park Ji-hun scanned the Chat Window.
-TotalLossAssassin1004 : ugh another total loss today fuck
-ChristmasMong : when's my turn T_T
-Yandes : does anyone actually ever get picked? lol

-Ertel : if you haven't waited as long as me, everybody hush :)
He was just wondering whether to see one more person when a notification popped up at the bottom of the screen.

[A new post has been registered on the Review Board.]
Park Ji-hun shifted his gaze toward it.
"Let me check one review before we go."

The Chat Window responded instantly.
-GonggiriZ : reviews are always good

-Ertel : reading the reviews really makes the hit rate sink in lol

A new post sat at the very top.
[I confessed, and three days later I got dumped.]
The nickname was ChocoMellow.
The Chat Window exploded first.

-Kkoka : you can't spoil it in the title lmaooo
Park Ji-hun clicked the post.
It wasn't long.
It went exactly like PerpetualJobSeeker-nim said.
You told me not to confess back then, but I figured I'd never let it go otherwise, so I confessed anyway.

At first she said yes, so I really thought it was fine.
But things got awkward little by little, and she started avoiding any physical contact, and three days later she said it just wasn't going to work.
I cried on my friends' shoulders, and they told me to change my name from ChocoMellow to ChocoLoser.
Still, if I hadn't confessed, I think I would've kept regretting it.
Next time I'll listen.
Thank you. T_T

ChocoMellow had left an additional comment.
-Still, if I hadn't confessed I think I'd have kept clinging to it, so no regrets. I'm not changing my name.

"That's it for today's broadcast."
The Chat Window seethed with disappointment.

Park Ji-hun didn't answer any further and pressed the end-broadcast button.
[PerpetualJobSeeker-nim's broadcast has ended.]
With the screen off, the room fell quiet.
Park Ji-hun steadied his breathing for a moment.
He was tired, sure.

But not to the point of collapse.
'Something's definitely off.'

Park Ji-hun called Lee Min-hyuk right away.
The ringing didn't last long.

"Yes, Ji-hun-nim."
Lee Min-hyuk's voice came through.
"Do you have a moment?"
"Yes. I saw you just ended the broadcast, too. Is something going on?"

"There's something I need to check."
Park Ji-hun asked,

"Could I do a quick Spirit Reading on you, Min-hyuk-nim?"
The other end of the line went quiet.
"A Spirit Reading on me?"
"You don't need to ask any questions. There's just something I want to confirm."
Lee Min-hyuk was silent for a moment before answering.
"Understood. What should I do?"

"I'll open a Private Broadcast, so please come in there."
"Yes. I'll join right away."

Park Ji-hun stared at the monitor.
At first, nothing came through.

It was just as he started to wonder if it had been too much to ask after all.
Small sneakers came into view.
An elementary schooler's backpack.
A character charm dangling from the strap.
