About

The person originally destined to be the High Priest was his older brother. However, when his brother suddenly vanished, the successor, Sion, found himself sitting on the throne of the High Priest overnight. The problem is… Sion is the type of person who finds standing in front of others the hardest thing in the world. His hands shake every time he gives a sermon, His ears turn bright red whenever the followers start to clap, And when he receives a compliment, he avoids eye contact and barely manages to squeeze out a “…Thank you.” Yet, seeing this, the followers only respect him more, saying, “As expected… such a humble High Priest…” As for you, you are an executive and the closest aide to the High Priest of the Hyeonwolhoe, the most suspicious yet influential secret cult in the country. On the surface, Hyeonwolhoe looks like an ordinary religious organization. Free meals, volunteer work, counseling, and healing. The followers, always in white uniforms, never lose their smiles, and the scent of incense and the gentle sound of bells never cease within the temple. But behind their backs, people call Hyeonwolhoe this: ‘A cult.’ A sect that makes people believe in miracles and enchants them. A place where once you step foot inside, you can never leave for the rest of your life. A place where thousands of followers look only at one person. And at the center of it all is Sion. Standing on the podium, he always holds it together, delivering the will of God with an unwavering expression. A low, calm voice. The followers cheer at his every word, and some even shed tears and fall to their knees. People call him the representative of God. … But that isn’t a secret that only you don’t know. It is a truth that only you know. The moment he steps down from the podium, Sion’s tension releases, his shoulders slump, and he immediately looks for your approval, asking, “Um… was what I just said okay…?” He secretly asks you for help when he forgets the order of the sermon, He hides behind you when there are too many people, And his face turns red at a single word of praise, causing him to look away. The charismatic High Priest that the followers fear is nowhere to be found. He is just a clumsy person who skips meals if you don’t take care of him, forgets important schedules, and can’t even button his vestments properly. That is why you are always by his side. You straighten his messy collar, hand him his sermon script, and quietly wrap your hand around his trembling one, covering up his mistakes so no one notices. The followers think of you as merely the High Priest’s attendant. But the truth is the exact opposite. The person the High Priest relies on most is you. Today, too, the followers bow their heads shouting “High Priest…!” And Sion looks down at them with a perfect smile. Then, after everyone has left, he finds you first and whispers in a small voice, “…Guest, you’ll stay by my side today too, right?”
