I Just Wanted to Escape Possession

Prologue

“Huff… haah…”

Baek Seon exhaled hot, ragged breaths.

Just moments ago, he had been shivering from a cold so sharp it felt like it would freeze him solid. Now, however, a heat so scorching it seemed as though it would melt his brain engulfed his entire body.

“Don’t avert your eyes, Dang Baek Seon.”

Chunrang’s voice, thick with heat, made Baek Seon shake his head frantically.

But the other showed not the slightest concern for his resistance, gripping his pale ankle with firm strength.

“Rang-ah, please… we shouldn’t be doing this…”

Even if he was not truly Manyugang, but merely wearing the body of Baek Seon.
Even if the maddening cold and those cursed spirits gnawed at him, demanding yang energy to survive…

How could he possibly bring himself to tangle bodies with his own disciple?

As Baek Seon tried desperately to resist, Chunrang’s voice rang out even more firmly.

“What’s stopping us?”

“……”

“What ties bind you and me?”

“…Rang-ah.”

“You never told me a thing. To me, you’re just Dang Baek Seon.”

Before Baek Seon could get another word out, Chunrang’s lips crashed down upon his.

Between parted teeth, slippery tongues entwined. And in that moment, the tightly shut door creaked open, and another man stepped into view.

“Oh my. My dear brother seems to be in quite a predicament.”

A voice smooth and flowing like water. A man with hair as white as snow, his eyes devoid of emotion yet curving faintly, spoke with an unreadable smile.

“Would it be all right if I joined as well?”

At such an absurd statement, Baek Seon’s lips trembled, but no sound came.

Throb. Throb.

The cold gnawed deeper, stabbing into him with pain. As it did, a hand pale as snow pressed lightly against his lower abdomen.

“I can please you too, you know.”

At the same time, Chunrang’s growl thundered above his head.

“Take your hand off him.”

Breath ragged, Baek Seon stared at the two men before him.

‘Why… why is this happening?’

Where had this possession gone wrong?

With that desperate thought, Baek Seon closed his eyes.
