Yunseo looked around as he stepped out of the filming set. He couldn’t get into the van since Taegyeom had the car keys.

“Ugh...”

It was unfortunate that the filming location was surrounded by nothing but grass and ruins, making it hard to hide his body. He dragged his trembling body as far away from the set as possible, but he had to stop halfway and lower his head because of the blood that was rising up.

“Cough!”

Seunghyun and Taegyeom moved their feet instinctively at the sound of someone vomiting.

“He’s over there!”

“My lord?”

Yunseo, who was writhing in the reeds, lifted his head sharply.

“What are you doing here?”

“Blood, blood!”

Taegyeom had such a keen observation. How did he see him when there was no lighting here? Yunseo scowled. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and saw that it was covered in blood.

Seunghyun scanned the area to see if anyone else was coming, and Taegyeom took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Yunseo.

“Didn’t I tell you not to come?”

How dare you ignore my words? He felt a surge of anger.

“My lord, we couldn’t just stay away.”

“That’s right.”

“If we didn’t come to check on you, Seohajun or Hongmina or the director could have been here.”

“Didn’t you think it was suspicious? If you just leave like that... everyone would be worried and follow you.”

And it’s the manager and the secretary’s job to check on this. Yunseo closed his mouth as he saw the two people who got along well.

“Let’s talk later.”

“When?”

“After this work is over.”

Taegyeom could be persuaded, but Seunghyun was not easy to deal with.

I’m the employer, why do I have to be flustered? Yunseo clenched his mouth as he felt a wave of emotions. It was probably because of the hallucination.

‘There’s no point in hiding it now.’

He rubbed his head nervously.

“Don’t you need to go to the hospital? Are you okay?”

“So you want me to quit when everything is set up because of me? I’m fine, okay?”

That’s true, but... Taegyeom walked ahead of Yunseo and muttered in a shaky voice.

“What if he does this every time he runs away...”

“Hopefully not.”

“Right?”

When Yunseo returned to the set, he felt everyone’s attention on him, even though they pretended not to look. He sat down and opened the script. It was the manager’s job to fix this.

“How are you, Yunseo?”

“I’m fine.”

“Really? Can you film?”

Taegyeom nodded his head as he glanced at Yunseo. Seunghyun stood behind Yunseo and crossed his arms.

‘It feels like someone’s drilling a hole in the back of my head.’

That’s why I didn’t want them to find out. It’s not a big deal, but they worry too much. Or is it not a big deal?

‘Well, anyone would be worried.’

Yunseo knew his body was fine, but they didn’t. And if something happened, the closest person would be the one to suffer. He felt a little better as he thought that.

‘I have a lot on my mind...’

The hallucination was quite serious. He sometimes showed his old self without realizing it... He could control his temperamental personality, but it was a problem for his acting.

“Where are you hurting?”

“I had to go to the bathroom.”

“It didn’t look like that.”

“You should know if that’s the case.”

Yunseo shrugged off Seohajun’s words and tilted his head back.

‘Ugh, this is annoying.’

Yunseo was also burning inside. When would he get used to this damn hallucination? He pressed his temples hard and tried to get rid of the ringing in his head. Of course, it wouldn’t go away just by doing that.

“Let’s resume filming!”

The leader’s goal was to create a crack in his mind by drawing out an answer.

“Well, yeah. I knew you’d say that.”

“...”

“Let me ask you one question. Do you know what I’ve been doing here?”

Father Raphael clenched his mouth. It was over if he got involved. He cautiously took out the holy water from his bag.

“Nothing.”

But Father Raphael, who could see his father’s face in the leader’s appearance, opened his eyes slightly.

“I just lit a fire in the human’s hearts’ desires. Just a little bit.”

“No, that can’t be...”

Then, the terrible situation was not caused by the devil’s command...

He unwittingly answered and closed his mouth. He had fallen for the devil’s whisper. The leader laughed with a torn mouth. It was creepy enough by itself, but it would probably be made more grotesque with additional CG.

“Look at me! What can I do with this body?”

His voice was croaky, as if he was singing. His body was twisted grotesquely due to the side effects of the imperfect possession. A forbidding aura emanated from his emaciated frame. Raphael’s shoulders trembled slightly.

‘He’s overwhelming...’

The actor who played the cult leader was a veteran theater actor who could lead a troupe. But he couldn’t show his presence in this fight. Raphael had to look like he was losing in the beginning. After a brief thought, Yoo Yeon Seo regained his composure and put on Raphael’s mask again.

“Did they lose their minds?”

Raphael’s eyes widened a bit.

[Why do I have to suffer like this! What did I do wrong!]

[It was fun... Please, spare me as I kneel and beg...!]

[Why? Why do I have to follow the law? There are so many fun things to do?]

The people he had cursed in Korea were insane, but they didn’t lose their sanity. Raphael’s pupils shook. He couldn’t afford to be weak in front of the devil, but he inadvertently showed a gap. And the cult leader exploited it skillfully.

Without a sound, the cult leader approached Raphael and placed his hand on Raphael’s bowed head. The camera captured this scene from a distance. It looked like he was receiving a baptism. A devil giving a priest a baptism, what a paradoxical sight.

“Who is the real demon here?”

Raphael lifted his head and looked at the cult leader, who used to be his father.

“Me?”

The cult leader smirked and brought his face close to Raphael’s.

“Or...”

You?

The cult leader said silently.

Raphael, or rather Yoo Yeon Seo, opened his eyes wide. He saw a white skirt and two legs behind the cult leader. His body stiffened involuntarily and cold sweat ran down his face.

‘Stop...’

He closed his eyes tightly and opened them again. The figure was still flickering behind the cult leader. Yoo Yeon Seo’s eyes became bloodshot.

“That’s weird.”

The script said ‘Raphael glared at the cult leader with clenched teeth’.

“Wait. Quiet.”

At the whisper of the assistant director, Choi, the director, put his index finger on his lips and stared at Yoo Yeon Seo on the monitor. If that was Yoo Yeon Seo’s interpretation of Raphael, he had to prioritize capturing it on camera without interfering.

‘This is my body.’

Yoo Yeon Seo faced the illusion head-on. A tear rolled down his cheek from his bloodshot eyes. It looked like he was grieving for his father, who couldn’t rest in peace, and glaring at the devil who had taken over his father’s body.

“No, I’m different from you.”

Yoo Yeon Seo’s desperate struggle to get out of the illusion matched well with Raphael’s acting to escape from the cult leader’s mind game.

“Get out of that body.”

You’re not someone you can mess with. Raphael took out a cross and confronted the cult leader.

***

“Cut, good job!”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

After spending almost a day on filming, they finally finished the last shoot of ‘Demon’. Yoo Yeon Seo casually greeted the staff and spat out blood secretly. The aftermath of the illusion was quite long. He wanted to go home and rest as soon as possible.

“What should we do first, bro?”

“Hospital, of course.”

“You heard, right?”

The atmosphere was getting ready to leave after taking the last group photo. Since they would see each other at the wrap-up party anyway, Yoo Yeon Seo quickly got on the van and sighed as he heard Lee Tae-gyeom and Im Seung-hyun’s conversation.

“Ha... I got it.”

It wouldn’t matter even if he got tested, nothing would come out... Yoo Yeon Seo decided to go along with them for now.
