The Cursed Sanctuary X (聖地X)

2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea and Japan

The historic match between the U.S. and South Korea has begun!

The stadium is already buzzing with excitement.

(Decide on the book title, rewrite the prologue, fix the printing machine)

See yeuong, come down, it's very comfortable!

No, I still have things to organize.

It's okay, just do it casually.

The swimming pool is very comfortable.

Mr. Taruo, wouldn't it be more comfortable by the seaside?

The sea is still warm now.

Huh? That would make me all sticky.

There might be jellyfish or something.

Really? I think it's a pity.

Hey Hey hey!

Why did you suddenly show up? You scared me.

What's going on?

This is Miss Han Soo-young, a student from Incheon University.

- Hello. - your girlfriend?

No, I came to work during the summer break and help with household chores.

This is my sister, Kaname.

Brother, did you buy a puppy again? Do you plan to live here forever?

- Hey! - Why are there so many boxes here?

- Oh, annoying. - Hey hey hey!

Don't mess up the order in this organized chaos.

- Where's your husband? - I terminated the lease for the apartment myself.

The luggage will be delivered soon.

What's going on?

Does that mean you're getting a divorce?

Isn't it obvious?

Why didn't you discuss this before coming?

You've never been married, so you're not qualified to speak, right?

I am qualified.

Someone who has never played football can become a famous coach.

How about you? Still writing novels?

Huh? Novels?

Currently recharging.

Let me tell you, this is my studio.

Go use the room over there.

How long do you plan to stay?

Shigeru is embezzling my money.

Clearly, rent and utilities were already paid from my inheritance...

found out after checking the bank statement.

How much?

Five million.

The worst part is spending it on... prostitution.

Prostitution?

- What kind of services is he using? - How would I know!

What's that guy really like?

Engaging in prostitution, having affairs, drinking, shopping online

What a fart!

I don't understand the point of all this.

I was thinking he's been coming home late recently,

turns out he's having an affair.

What does he want? What do you think?

Yeah.

Never mind, anyway, these rooms are at your disposal,

you can stay here

and this villa was originally left by Dad.

Cursed Sanctuary X.

See you in two hours.

Don't buy any more games; it'll mess up the room.

Wait a minute.

Books, games and movies…

these are my literary sustenance for writing novels.

You haven't written a book from your time in Japan till now,

and I've been bothered by something lately.

Let me tell you, I was the first one to live in that house.

Although it's our inheritance and not divided between us,

I've been here letting the house breathe for a year.

You need to understand that!

Okay, okay, see you later.

Sorry.

Shigeru, why are you running?

Hey, Shigeru!

Now that you're here, we have nothing to talk about.

It's been a month; think about how late you are.

I've made up my mind.

Please don't come to my house; just go back to Japan. Goodbye.

At least give a response; you clearly heard me.

You've got the wrong person.

Hmm... I was talking to the person who just came in.

There's no one else here besides me.

really.

If you doubt it, you can check for yourself.

Isn't there a jacket over there?

This one? It's mine.

You see.

Can you give him a message?

I have nothing more to say to him.

Tell him not to step into this town, to stay away from me.

That's it.

You seem to be in a Western film,

but there really is no one else here.

Sorry.

Wait, Kaname.

I'm sorry.

Kaname, don't leave!

Isn't this illegal entry?

- Let me go! - When did you come in?

Wait, Kaname, Kaname.

Mr Shima.

Mr Eguchi, I'm sorry, sorry, the consultation time was longer than expected.

It's okay; you mentioned it on the phone.

How is Kyoko doing?

Hmm...

Ah, this is Mrs. Kim, whom I invited to help.

This is the store owner, Brother Eguchi.

Hello.

Nice to meet you. I'm Kim Bok-hee.

Your Japanese is good.

I can only speak a little.

Please come in; let's go inside.

Thank you.

So, what's Kyoko's condition exactly?

The doctor said there are no abnormalities in her body,

but she herself says her memory is very fuzzy.

Memory?

Yes.

So I'm sorry for you, but...

given my wife's current condition, could you please delay

the opening time a bit more?

Well, considering Sister-in-law's current state, it's indeed impossible to open the store.

Alright, I understand.

After all, this is South Korea's first store, worth commemorating.

Let's not rush.

Take your time to re-plan.

Eguchi brother,

I feel like this store might be cursed.

Mr. Teruo, you really love Korean mixed vegetables.

See Yeuong , that's enough. Let's eat together.

But I should probably go back soon.

Hey, Kaname, at least come and have some barbecue.

See yeuong helped because you can't cook,

Mr. Teruo…

Kaname, listen,

the world is even more interesting than you imagine.

More fun

Forget about Shigeru.

The inheritance our parents left us...

there's a lot!

If you want to open a store or something,

it's all possible.

How about opening a cake shop?

Didn't you mention having a baking certificate?

I'll use the knowledge I gained from playing games to help you wholeheartedly.

You're unbelievable...

Hmm?

Hmm... Miss Kaname,

I might not be able to help you much,

but at least I can listen to you.

We can talk about some women's topics, right?

Can I come in?

Sorry, I need to go in.

Miss Kaname.

Hello.

Hmm... hello.

Have we met before?

I am Azuma Shigeru.

Oh, long time no see.

What's going on with you?

It's not... I...

Sorry, can we start over?

You, stop messing around!

Wait...wait a moment.

My sister doesn't want to see you; it's over between you two.

- Get out of here. - No...

she insists on divorcing you.

But…

you came all the way to Korea.

Just tell me what to do next.

I'm really sorry, I did something stupid.

I'm willing to explain how to handle it after, of course.

But please let me see Kaname first.

After I saw her on the street today, I followed her here,

always wanting to find an opportunity to talk to her.

Please, I beg you.

What are you doing? Why so loud?

Kaname, Kaname!

Hey, wait a minute.

Kaname, wait.

Wait.

- Let's talk - Hey!

Kaname, don't leave.

Wait, danger, be careful.

No!

Amnesia? What kind of trick is this?

It's true,

I'm in Korea without a phone or passport.

Don't you find it strange?

How did you get on the plane?

I was probably kidnapped and my bag was thrown away.

Someone wants to plunder my life.

Who do you think you are, Jason Bourne?

I'm just a person working in an advertising company,

with a decent income.

Then spend your own money on prostitution.

Exactly.

However, Kaname,

your brother, a fan of science fiction and detective novels,

wants to verify a few things.
