MDOF | Chapter 1.3

Why would a person have a tail…? Is he even human?

Shaking his thick, fluffy tail, the man crossed his arms, revealing nails that were unusually long. As he grinned, showing off his red lips like he had just eaten something, Seonwoo, without realizing his supporting wrist had gone limp, face-planted onto the floor.

Did my nose break? Is there no blood?

“What are you doing?”

“What do you mean, can’t you see?”

Before he could even wipe his teary eyes, he clutched his stinging nose. Looking up, he saw the cause of his fall nonchalantly waving.

Pointed ears on the white hair flicked. A headband? Is it a headband? They’ve been popular lately. A grown man wearing a cat headband and sporting a bushy tail, coming into someone’s house… Is this okay?

“How did you get in here…?”

Despite Seonwoo’s stuttering question, the man with the strange ears and tail moved silently, casually looking around the house before sitting on the empty mattress.

From the way his tail was flicking rigidly, it was clear he was not pleased with the absence of the blanket currently in the dryer. The white hair culprit, this guy.

“Get out before I call the police.”

“Go ahead.”

The man hummed a tune, smiling impishly.

“I mean it, I’ll report you.”

Seonwoo fumbled for his phone in his pocket, but the man leisurely inspected his nails with a pleased look, whether or not Seonwoo was holding the phone.

Seonwoo cautiously moved towards the front door, unlocking his phone and pressing up to 11. Slipping on his slippers haphazardly, he turned the doorknob quietly to leave, only for his face to pale as he looked outside.

“Where are you going?”

Creak, Bang

The front door, which made a squeaky sound when opened, slammed shut with urgency. His heart was thumping like a newly caught fish.

The man who had been sitting on the bed was now tilting his head in the hallway. And now, he was back on the bed, beckoning with his fingertips, as if telling him to come closer.

The man, chin propped up, watched him, then waved his hand once more without much wait.

“Gah!”

An invisible hand pulled Seonwoo back inside. This isn’t a person. Trying to hide his shaking hands, he bit his tongue hard. Staring wide-eyed, he looked down at the man rolling on his bed.

“Are you crazy? I just cleaned this!”

“…What?”

He didn’t know why he snapped like that, but even knowing it wasn’t human, his tidy nature took precedence. He couldn’t forgive anyone lying on his bed.

Seonwoo angrily grabbed the man’s wrist, pushing him to stand awkwardly in the middle of the living room, where he then laughed, clutching his stomach. After a good laugh, he stopped abruptly and tapped Seonwoo, who was removing hair from the mattress.

“Didn’t you learn not to get on someone else’s bed? Your tail’s shedding hair!”

“What’s your name?”

“…Why?”

“Can’t I ask the name of the person who saved me?”

Only then did Seonwoo look at the man, who was waiting for an answer with an innocent face, one ear folded back.

Saved me… So, that day I didn’t die because of you?

“It was because of you?”

Whether his black eyes widened or not, he shook the man by the collar. The man, being shaken without any resistance, looked at him like he was an interesting toy.

The man was tall, so even when his collar was pulled high, his feet didn’t leave the ground, causing Seonwoo to collapse from his own force.

It hurt so much back then! It was frustrating to have gone through all that and not die. If he hadn’t hurt at all, or if it had failed, he might have forgotten, but the chilling sensation of his limbs being torn still lingered vividly.

That memory made Seonwoo jump up in the middle of the night, fumbling to check if his arms were still there.

“If you left me, I would have died. If you were going to save me, why not earlier…?”

Frustration welled up, making his cheeks puff like rice cakes. Even with his collar grabbed, the man seemed unangered, calmly stretching Seonwoo’s cheek and bringing his face closer.

The man’s beautiful face was so close that Seonwoo tried to back away in shock, but he couldn’t move. The man sniffed around his neck, making an ambiguous sound.

Suddenly, he remembered how sweaty he was after cleaning the house thoroughly. His face flushed, knowing he must smell of sweat, which was unthinkable for someone like Seonwoo, who valued cleanliness.

“I don’t know.”

Muttering something incomprehensible, the man blinked his shiny eyelashes and shook his ears. Now that he thought about it, his eyelashes were also white.

“I’m Yeon.”

Introducing himself as Yeon, he shook his tail, waiting for an answer.

“…Seonwoo. Shin Seonwoo.”

It was a strange feeling. He was calm about a man who suddenly entered his house, and this man had pointed ears on either side of his head and a wagging tail. Oddly, looking into those pitch-black eyes felt like his consciousness was flowing in a way different from his will.

Now, as they casually exchanged names, everything felt foreign, making Seonwoo’s mouth twist in dissatisfaction.

“Yeah, Seonwoo. Shin Seonwoo.”

Repeating the name like a parrot, Yeon looked at Seonwoo, whose stomach churned. When was the last time someone called his name in front of him? Excluding roll calls, it was ages ago.

Yeon repeated Seonwoo’s name as if it were a difficult word, then, meeting Seonwoo’s odd look, gave a gentle smile.

Yeon was quite tall. Even though Seonwoo was not short for a high school student, Yeon looked a head taller. Or was it because his face was small?

Soft fur on his pale face, perky ears, and a fluffy, thick tail. His proportions seemed even better because of his long limbs.

“But why were you in the underworld that day?”

The underworld? The same underworld mentioned with the afterlife, the afterlife?

“I was freed because of you, but why would a human go there…?”

What kind of being gets sealed? Without noticing Seonwoo’s eyes trembling, Yeon moved back onto the bed.

Seonwoo, pulling Yeon by the nape to drag him off, glared at him as he shook his ears in annoyance.

There were many things Seonwoo wanted to ask, but he spat out the first thing that came to mind.

“It’s you, right? You’ve been shedding hair on my bed?”

“Hmm?”

Yeon’s voice trailed off lazily. Pretending ignorance, he let his tail hang down, rolling his eyes around. His innocent child-like face made Seonwoo’s eyes soften.

“I like soft things. The floor is too hard.”

“Why did you come to my house?”

“I was bringing you back.”

“You should’ve left after bringing me back, why are you shedding hair on my bed?”

With Seonwoo’s somewhat prickly words, Yeon still looked clueless, swinging his drooping tail side to side.

“I used up all my strength to save you. I can’t leave until I recharge.”

“What?”

“I’ve only been unsealed for a short while, reattaching your limbs with goblin magic was quite the effort.”

“Goblin… magic?”

“Yeah, the one that ate your limbs.”

Seonwoo’s lips trembled. His hand, which had been touching his limbs as if they were something unpleasant, fell limply.

To think his limbs were from a corpse, reattached cold… Just as nausea threatened to rise in Seonwoo, who had a mild case of OCD, Yeon added an explanation.

“I didn’t attach goblin limbs to you; I used its life force to create new ones. That’s a lot of work, you know.”

It wasn’t really that hard, just a bit bothersome since he had just been unsealed. He didn’t regret the effort.

Though he wasn’t sure, a tantalizing scent was leaking from this bold boy, making him hum with anticipation of what kind of dessert he might be under the wrapping.

Unaware of the backstory, Seonwoo was torn about what to do with this life-saving stranger.

Since he had saved him, kicking him out immediately seemed too harsh, but letting him stay home was more bothersome because of the wagging tail than the fact he was a stranger. He would definitely scatter hair everywhere.

A week ago, Seonwoo would have called the police without hesitation, thinking some crazy person had broken into his home. But now, after surviving death, he was surprisingly calm about this bizarre reality.

Noticing Seonwoo staring at his swaying tail, Yeon smartly wrapped the fluffy mass around his slender waist.

“…When will you recover?”

“Well, I slept for too long… There’s not much to eat here.”

Yeon murmured weakly, looking around the empty air, then turned his black eyes back to Seonwoo.

‘You’ll be enchanted if you look into a fox’s eyes, so be careful.’

Why did that ancient advice come to mind? Those black eyes sparkled like they were casting a spell.

His slow, trailing explanations were annoying, but according to Yeon, he was a divine fox, sealed about 500 years ago.

When asked why he was sealed, he just shook his tail, silent. Seonwoo took a deep breath, focusing his gaze, and Yeon hid the tail back around his waist, which was somewhat cute.

Seonwoo hated the hair scattered around his house, but he liked cute furry creatures. Even though Yeon was far from a small furry creature, he wanted to pet that fluffy tail if it wasn’t in his house.

The silver fur sparkled even under the dim light, promising a vibrant glow under the sun.

Seeming to sense Seonwoo’s dilemma, the fox blinked with the most harmless look he could muster. His eyes were a clear, deep black, dizzying to look into.

“You can stay here for a while.”

The unexpected words came out of his mouth. The suspicion that he might be bewitched by the fox crossed his mind for a moment, but Seonwoo nodded slowly.

For a while. He had plans to wrap up before the end of the holidays.

“But…”

With a stern reminder that Yeon should clean up his own hair, Yeon’s fine eyes narrowed into a gentle smile. The rosy flush at the corners of his eyes contrasted with his white hair, emphasizing the smile like a reflector.

Seonwoo grabbed Yeon’s nape as he tried to climb back onto the bed.

“First, go wash up. Can’t you put that tail away?”

“Lack of divine power. Hmm… I’m reaching my limit for human form.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a popping sound like fireworks, and Seonwoo jumped back, finding a fluffy bundle of fur at his feet, rolling over to expose its belly.

“…”

A small fox with soft paws, a fluffy tail, and shiny black eyes let out a yipping sound.

Seeing the white hair fluttering around, Seonwoo regretted his hasty decision. As if to tempt him further, Yeon rubbed against his leg.
