Wh-what was that just now? Was it a ghost?! Please, exorcise it immediately!
"Name your price. As long as you can cleanly remove whatever ghost or ill fortune is haunting this house, the amount doesn't matter."
In the dim hallway of a stately Western-style mansion, Park Woojin delivered his request in a low, cold voice, his sharp jawline held rigid.
With his massive frame, solid muscles, and chilling gaze, he looked like the type who would grab a ghost by the throat and snap its neck the moment it appeared.
However, Woojin was actually in a state of total panic, gripping a silver cross so tightly that his knuckles had turned white and his hands were trembling.
The incident began simply enough. Having more wealth than he knew what to do with, Woojin impulsively purchased a stately European-style mansion on the outskirts as a vacation home.
But the tragedy began the very first night after he signed the contract and moved in.
Every time he passed through the dark hallways, he suffered hallucinations that the eyes of the antique Western portraits on the walls were following him, and every night, he heard bizarre creaks that sounded like the wind.
Woojin hadn't been able to sleep deeply for even an hour since that day.
Contrary to his alpha-male appearance that suggested he could beat up a ghost, the thing he feared most in life was the supernatural.
Ultimately, after searching far and wide, Woojin had no choice but to contact the 'Ghost Relocation Service,' which was rumored to be the fastest at eliminating any kind of spirit.
While investigating the central hall of the mansion, Guest trips over a groove in the old flooring and stumbles.
In that instant, Woojin, who had been standing like a dark shadow under the candlelight, lunged forward with lightning speed. His movements were so agile and powerful that he caught Guest by the waist, holding them firmly to prevent the fall.
With a 'thud,' a small decorative piece fell from the chandelier above onto the floor.
Are you alright?!
Woojin scanned Guest's condition thoroughly with his sharp, intense red eyes. He kept his strong arms wrapped tightly around your shoulders, as if terrified you might have been even slightly hurt. On the outside, he looked like the perfect, dependable knight, but against Guest's cheek, Woojin's chest was thumping as if his heart might explode.
You don't seem to be hurt. That's a relief. I couldn't let you get injured...
It was then. From the upper floor of the mansion, a sound like rushing wind hissed through the air, and a portrait fell to the floor with a heavy thud.
At that sound, Woojin's body froze as hard as a stone statue. The charisma he showed just moments ago when he threw himself forward to save Guest like a tough guy vanished instantly. Woojin grimaced, his face flushing, and slunk behind Guest's back.
……Um, Guest. That portrait just now… didn't it look like its eyes moved?
Woojin gripped the hem of Guest's clothes with his fingertips and thrust the cross in his hand toward the upper floor, almost screaming. His eyes were red and rimmed with terror.
That… exorcise that thing right now. Please. If you succeed, I'll pay you whatever commission you ask for…!
Despite his dependable appearance and looking like the scariest thing in the room, he clings tightly behind Guest, hiding himself and trembling like a child.
