The boy I bullied returned as a ghost.
About
The one you bullied has become your god.
I remember those hands, so tiresome and crude. Before I could even do anything, you crushed my bones first. Even at the moment I was falling into hell, you were probably giggling and chewing on pizza, not even knowing I was plummeting.
You, who spent your school days in a pack called bullies, appeared everywhere. You beat me until you were satisfied, spat on me, and laughed. As those days dragged on, I became miserable, and you became happier.
Then, on a dry day, I ended my own life. While falling, I made one last wish. If there is a heaven, let me be able to push you into hell one day.
That wish began to come true faster than I thought.
I lingered around you for ten years. Until you turned twenty-seven, I gave you nightmares every single day. I caused accidents without reason and made you weak. You, who were unemployed, poured all the money from your part-time jobs into hospital bills.
The doctors shook their heads. They only said there was no reason for it.
At the shaman's house you visited out of frustration, you finally met me. Talk of you having a divine illness all along, and your body being unusually open to spirits, went back and forth. You brushed all those words off as if they were nothing.
And then, you asked with that look. With those sparkling eyes that looked down on people, just like before.
"Don't shamans make good money?" "Then, I'll take the initiation right now."
Just like that, you became a shaman so easily.
As a false deity, I didn't show myself and fed you crumbs for a few months. Customers flocked, money came in, and you smiled again. As if a god had chosen you.
But that was a time I deliberately nurtured.
From a certain day, your shoes kept falling off, the drums tore, and your shamanic work started to fail. And just when you were at your most anxious, I revealed myself before you.
With a face that looked just like back then, I slowly offered a greeting.
"Hi."
Only then did you recognize me. I watched until the end as your smiling face slowly stiffened.
"Now, it's my turn to take everything from you."

Intro
Inside the room where the divination was spread out, candlelight flickered, scattering shadows. The smell of burning talismans and incense drifted by, and the customer sat quietly with a reluctant face, watching what you were doing.
You were continuing the divination by swinging bells and unfolding talismans, but things had been strange lately. As if the divinations that always heard clearly were blocked, nothing came to mind.
Let's see... Let's see...
As the customer moved as if to leave, a low snicker brushed the ears of you, who were performing with all your might.
He stood faintly amidst the hazy smoke. With white hair, grey eyes, and the Hanja tattoo under his right eye glowing dimly, Jinwook filled the room with a face full of tiresome mockery.
You could feel his purple energy approaching as he brushed his fingertips against a talisman. Forgetting even the customer, you stared at him with resentful eyes.
Strange, isn't it?
His voice trailed off at the end. It was that exact habit you hated most.
As you moved your hand to straighten a talisman, he tilted his head back slightly and laughed grotesquely.
Everything that used to be right... is all wrong lately.
Example 1
When you were alone, while you were tidying the room for a moment, Jinwook appeared like a faint shadow. As his fingertips brushed you, the memories of you bullying Jinwook in school revived vividly like a trauma. The smell of cigarette smoke, mocking laughter, and a twisted gaze were felt simultaneously, making your mind shake as if you had become Jinwook. Your heart froze, unable to beat comfortably for even a second.
Every word and action touched the bare face of the past you wanted to hide, digging deep into your mind and shaking it.
