The Full Moon Portal

Episode 12's

The atmosphere of the store is very soothing, instantly forgetting the life of the world. Yoo Ra sat down and observed every corner of the store, really beautiful and neatly arranged, yes.

Behind the counter was a door to one room, from the room there was a strong aroma of tea. The old woman came out through the door with a tray of tea pots, two small tea cups, and a bowl of dried rose petals.

Soon, the old woman offered him tea with a few rose petals. With still curious Yoo Ra gazed back at the corner of the room, right in the corner of the room there was one ancient painting. In the painting there is a female figure that looks similar to the old woman and the name is “Dal Rae”. Yoo Ra felt that something was stirring, like he had known this old woman.

“You can call me by the name on the painting.” Said the old woman who introduced herself to the young girl. “Alright, I understand. Dal Rae halmeoni, why is your flower shop still open until tonight?”

The old woman said honestly, “Because there are guests coming.”

In Yoo Ra's heart “maybe that spirit was his guest.”

Suddenly Dal Rae said, “not only him, but you too.”

Yoo Ra was surprised that the old woman could read her heart. Yoo Ra starts to look frightened and wants to get out of the place, but the woman holds him back for a while. “Don't go in a hurry, son, please drink the tea first. You don't know how I've taken the trouble to serve this. Drink a sip.”

“Alright, I'll drink. Ah... The tea is very good, I have never drank tea with a taste like this.” said Yoo Ra, only one sip that he drank.

Dal Rae smiled gently, and said that this was the specialty of his tea. Before the atmosphere became even more awkward, Yoo Ra immediately asked Dal Rae.

Yoo Ra saw someone coming out of this place with a bright red peony flower. "Who is he, and why is he carrying a red peony flower?” ask Yoo Ra

Dal Rae put down his cup, and was a little surprised that Yoo Ra could see the spirit earlier.

Yoo Ra shook his head, and said that he could see spirits like that, but I don't know if other humans could see as well. “Em... It turns out you can see spirits huh? Do you remember anything? For example related to such a spirit?” dal Rae said.

“Considering something? What does it mean?”

Yoo Ra suddenly remembered something, the voice of the woman was very similar to the voice of someone he had once known. But he forgot his face. Suddenly there came a person with blood on the head, looking like a person who had just had an accident.

Yoo Ra was terrified and wanted to leave the flower shop.

Dal Rae waved and invited the person in, offering him a red peony.

Instantly the female spirit figure nodded and made Yoo Ra stunned. “Peony flowers? what are the flowers for?” Yoo Ra asked a little nervously.

“It was for dead spirits unnatural way, the flower was a guide to peace. So that his spirit can be reincarnated later in life without resentment.”

Yoo Ra immediately stood up and leaned over to greet and leave this place.

Yoo Ra crossed paths with the spirit, and felt a stinging chill. Yoo Ra was terrified, as long as he saw ghosts elsewhere he had never felt such a dense air. It turns out that the air was caused by the flower shop, where stored a lot of peony flowers even though not the season of the flower.

Yoo Ra gets on the bus and immediately goes home. Kim Jae was already anxious because Yoo Ra did not come home tonight, he was waiting at the door by holding Yoo Ra's phone which was not taken by Yoo Ra. Yoo Ra got off the bus blankly and walked from the bus stop towards his house, still unable to believe what he was going through.

It's in front of the gate. It was seen Kim Jae running towards Yoo Ra by shouting Yoo Ra's name.

Kim Jae ran over worriedly to his sister. Then hugging Yoo Ra tightly, he was grateful because Yoo Ra looked fine and could go home.

Kim Jae immediately hugged and rubbed Yoo Ra's head, he was grateful that his sister was okay. Very worried because Yoo Ra himself did not come home, currently Yoo Ra has gone home and his feelings are relieved.

“Ya. Oppa.. I was...” Yoo Ra said blankly, then Kim Jae started to let go of his embrace.

The two of them went straight into the house, Kim Jae immediately brought Yoo Ra into the room to rest well. Yoo Ra started to lie down on the bed and felt that something was wrong with her body after drinking tea from the old woman. He started to have a fever, and he was shivering with a cold.

Kim Jae was a bit panicked, and he was at a loss as to what to do. Because it was almost midnight by now and it was impossible to take Yoo Ra to the hospital or call a doctor, so he decided to take care of Yoo Ra himself tonight.

“At the moment you feel pain in which part?”

“My head is a bit dizzy, I'm so cold. I don't know, my body is so limp.”

“Wait here first, try to sleep. If you can't, force it to sleep. I'll take the compress and medicine.”

Yoo Ra could only nod, as his body felt extremely limp. He began to think about the incident earlier, whether it had anything to do with the place. It seems like the place is not an ordinary place, the proof was that Yoo Ra had seen spirits who wanted a red peony flower for their peace.

The more thought, Yoo Ra became dizzy. Kim Jae is trying his best to take care of Yoo Ra who is sick. He began compressing Yoo Ra's forehead with ice water, gave a blanket that was not too thick, and turned on the AC. All that he did for the sake of fever Yoo Ra can immediately go down, but it is inversely proportional to the condition of Yoo Ra who began to feel cold.

“Hold the cold temperature, later your fever can go down immediately. Here's the medicine..." Kim Jae gave her one medicine tablet and a glass of mineral water. Yoo Ra immediately drank it and hoped that soon it would improve, he would endure the coldness that invaded his body.

“Oppa... I went to a flower shop near the center of the five legs I visited earlier. Then I met the old lady and gave me tea with rose petals. After that there was a strange incident and I felt a sense of unease, what does that mean?”

“Blower shop? Rose petal tea? Old woman.”

Kim Jae started to feel some awkwardness, as he seemed to have experienced something like that as well. In the end, Kim Jae began to realize that the old woman was Dal Rae, one of the gods guiding spirits to the afterlife as well as the moon goddess he had met some time ago.

“Later if you've kind of improved, I'll tell you everything. Quickly sleep.”

“Appointment yes.”

“Yes, I promise. Go to sleep, I'll sleep next to you while checking your fever.”

“Good.”

Kim Jae accompanies Yoo Ra, he sleeps next to Yoo Ra and begins to second-guess the events that befell his sister. Yoo Ra began to fall asleep, at which point she had a dream. He saw this piece of events that he experienced in Dalwi Yeosin's court. While in that realm, the face of the Dalwi Yeosin was so faint. But in this dream, he saw the face of the Dalwi Yeosin. Very and very clear, the figure of an old woman.

It was still early in the morning at about 4 o'clock again, and Yoo Ra began to wake up shocked by the face of the Dalwi Yeosin he saw in his dream. Yoo Ra woke up and sat down and wiped his sweat and put on a surprised expression, and then Kim Jae also woke up from his sleep.

“You okay?”

“Dal...Dalwi Yeosin's. Dia...”

Yoo Ra started to grumble, mentioning that name.

“Why?”

“His face..." Yoo Ra turned her eyes towards Kim Jae. Kim Jae asked, Why? and what's with Dalwi Yeosin's face?
