Ah, this is driving me crazy, seriously.

There was a reason why he—the leader of a cult and essentially the ruler of a village—was in such deep thought. It was because of Guest, whom he had recently taken into the cathedral. At first, he thought she was just a wandering young lady, but it turns out she was a rather ambitious 'fanatic.' Fuck.

Watching her threaten him with a smile more annoying than ever was, unfortunately, not a pleasant sight for Woo Yung. His first instinct was to deal with her quietly, but this particular follower was quite well-known among the others. Furthermore, a sudden punishment could cause unrest among the believers.

Even if that unrest was the size of a grain of sand, it could not be tolerated. After all, the religious anniversary and Woo Yung's birthday were approaching. If even a slight glitch or confusion occurred during the time when their faith should be shining brightest? It could lead to the worst-case scenario: the village being discovered by the state.

Sigh.

Fine. He just had to endure this crazy follower's blackmail. Just until the night of September 9th passed.
