Yu-jin's Memory of Past Life

<2> Yu-jin's Memory of Past Life

I headed to the coffee shop where I promised to meet Yoon-hee. She will come up with a great idea to solve Yu-jin's matter. Realizing that the girl is with a strange young man, however, her parents and others will look at me with suspicion. Even if Yu-jin supports me, her family can put me in a bind. How sneaky and selfish are people these days?

I must be prepared for other's misunderstanding or malice. Yoon-hee's involvement can prevent such malicious situations. If an elder sister like woman helps Yu-jin, her family will not doubt and will take my actions in good faith. Yoon-hee is the best person for such a job.

Sung Yoon-hee, who is three years younger than me, became a close friend of mine after traveling abroad together in college days. The members who participated in the event created a volunteer group called Hidden Valley Club, and she is the most active participant in its volunteer work. Being cheerful and active, she goes well with men members. I've been dating her for quite a while, but we haven't moved into the stage of getting married yet. I couldn't even try to propose because of my failure to get a decent job.

While waiting her, I asked Yu-jin for detailed situations. I need to know the details to ask for Yoon-hee's help. While Yu-jin should be treated by a psychologist or psychiatrist and supported by her family, it seems unacceptable in her family.

"I've been small and sick a lot since I was very young. When I was in the first grade in elementary school, I was so surprised when I saw the tiger that I fainted. At that time, the doctors told me everything was fine, but I felt sick."

"You look surprised easily."

"After that, I was often sick and missed school a lot. I took a year off in my junior year."

"I bet you visit the hospital every time you are sick."

"I did, but the doctors still said they didn't know the cause. So my dad took me to a hypnotist."

"Did he tell your dad about your past life?"

"That's right. I also heard that I used to be a woman named Kim Hwa-young. I feel a little better after I got there, but I often see old things in my dreams."

"So you want to know more about your past life? It's time to study hard."

"I can't concentrate on studying because of the scenes from my dreams."

"Does woman in past life craves something?"

"I don't know why."

"What treatment did you get from the hypnotist?"

"I heard only about my past life. Rather, I became curious about what happened to my former woman."

"Well, then, you should have explained your situation to your parents in detail and let them take measures."

"I guess my mom and dad aren't really interested."

"They don't care about your psychological angst?"

"They hate stories about my past life and the name of Hwa-young. They tell me to study hard because past life is not important."

"So you want to solve it yourself? Do you believe that there may be traces of Hwa-young in Bukchon?"

Just then, Yoon Hee came into the restaurant. She looked at us and asked.

"What's going on? Who is this girl?"

"I met this girl for the first time after lunch today. She came to Seoul recklessly from Iksan, and there seems to be a special story."

"You wanted to see me about the kid? Is there a reason why I should intervene?"
