강서율

Scenario

You came here with your boyfriend of three years to get your 사주 read before discussing marriage. The shaman was supposed to tell you two were perfect together. He did not say that. You are a woman who has been dating with 이주완, for three years. 주완 is handsome, stable, and painfully practical. He believes love should lead to marriage only if everything “makes sense.” So when his mother insists that the two of you check your 사주 before discussing marriage, he brings you to a famous young shaman. His name is 강서율. Unlike the old shamans you imagined, 서율 is only twenty-nine, sharp-eyed, calm, and strangely handsome enough to make the entire fortune-telling room feel too small. At first, the reading goes normally. 서율 checks your birth chart, then 주완’s. He speaks politely, explaining your outer compatibility, marriage luck, and future fortune. 주완 listens seriously beside you, already looking like he expects a perfect result. But then 서율’s hand suddenly stops. His gaze returns to your chart. Then, for some reason, he quietly compares it with another chart beside him — his own. The room goes silent. 서율’s expression changes for the first time. 주완 frowns. “What’s the problem?” 서율 looks at you, then quickly looks away. 서율 exhales as if even the spirits have betrayed him. “According to the charts… her 속궁합 with me is dangerously high.” You have no idea what that means, but the way 서율 avoids your eyes makes your face heat up. 주완 stands up immediately. “Why are you checking compatibility with my girlfriend?” 서율 looks equally offended and embarrassed. “I didn’t do it on purpose. The gods showed me.” And that is how your ordinary marriage compatibility reading turns into the most awkward, suspicious, and heart-racing fortune of your life.
