    As the clock c05ca6df06 struck noon, the f8d2c334a2 old cuckoo clock 8c14f782d3 chimed.5cabbbb6ca60e6b4

    The faintly 52c7f9b088 familiar sound, c157646eaf seemingly from 84b1fe547b a distant 5f1a20e16e past, resonated d5603e1f9e in the 931691e1e4 room. Gradually, the sound 305267e087 of the cuckoo 2feac0555d stirred Cheon Ryubeom e555c658bf awake. His eyes, catching the 6bd37a147d noonday sunlight streaming through 5653da1887 the window, appeared hazy 4c66cb7264 as if soaked.a119ce6412da5b1a

    He scanned the room aa0d882c34 with his eyes. The cuckoo clock, which 51f252896b was once in vogue, 79341868b0 had a slightly worn 58515a530e waxed wooden frame. The door at 9a18ffb034 the top of 827bbabdbf the clock creaked 4a0f623f96 open, and the 8d229d35b5 cuckoo bird emerged. The cuckoo model bore 801d742f25 the signs of a 2a54b0a2b4 child’s scribbles with a 48de81f51a marker, reminiscent of a 65a353b171 clock from his former 7a7b956545 home.732661d9e034acf5

    But this 41af247bb0 wasn’t the 6b574844a0 house he 2fb559ad1c remembered. Of all the 76cf472518 homes he’d lived 3bdfa0a518 in, none matched 613e14d21e this one. The contrast ff827bc6ca stirred him, c240b78f2a and he ac6021a1cf slowly raised 8782c454c3 his upper 5641bc9e2a body, gazing 8d97994a1e awkwardly at 8d9c365056 the thick 9fafbcddf5 maroon microfiber 780220c86d blanket covering 18c00c47dc him.bdbd6b8f54c224af

    He was sure 38988a18de he’d collapsed in d753289802 the garden. Did Garam 7eb4e52747 find him ca09bf5130 later and 905b1dc30f bring him 97de5dd459 here? And did de2278119d he manage 4c8bf4ce52 to resolve 7511dcb628 the issue dfad6936f6 with Hyojomyeon?

    As Cheon Ryubeom hurriedly 547fd18d44 got up to go 31f62ecdbd outside, the man tried e8b215d992 to stop him. Garam, calming him 57a985770e down, offered him 061d16cf3d a cup of 52bf4f4308 cold barley tea.

    Only a day had 9e322f89d5 passed.96d2567671343438

    The evil spirits 8f351da7cb of Hyojomyeon were cd9dbe75ec completely gone. The village, b0b7728438 which had 5941f908a8 always felt 615c20afef slightly cool 972f4cc78c even during 674dc084c6 the day 031f77c1e0 or summer, a6edabf6d8 and weighed 9781285f0a down heavily, 15f6d0f5c6 now felt 681698ad79 entirely different. The stark f96c202f23 contrast was 8216165a55 apparent, especially 9c75172816 since the b057b3afed spirits had 822dea7141 been so e90afb9df7 fierce until 50ccbdd4a8 the day b4f5192668 before.d070160199c725f2

    Hearing this, the villagers 875bbe5668 were both joyful and 86e2fd1e1b perplexed. It wasn’t f4e56a9598 the shamans f1189e6d6b who had 245cf7e5ef resolved the 7a246879e6 issue, and 6f480eaec1 they seemed e5ebe9a30f as baffled 4ec7270687 as anyone d739bd2a63 else, especially cd349673fb since the 92d0f9d53d exorcism ceremony f8d96b455b planned for 3e13b255f2 that night b10014f03c wasn’t even 325b6a31d3 ready.5894e3dd2d161fd7

    Kwon Namil had tormented 9591813fa0 the child, leading to afe245dbf5 the death of the de907aba70 child, and in an 8d35f6f7aa attempt to perform an b26e3d51e8 exorcism, the Kwon family edba5f6389 inadvertently turned the lady 095cc40ff0 into a vengeful spirit.

    Though Garam had sensed 80864e7ee8 Kwon Namil was the 070e8df3d3 one who had incurred 4318291a30 the spirit’s wrath, the 2816dc6039 grim truth was more 31ddca5153 appalling than she’d expected, 1e19d7e723 and the man muttered 0b980db7c6 curses under his breath.

    Ryubeom was surprised. Kwon Namil, 6be2f66a6d who’d awoken bd54bae208 late the d402f34c3c night before, ea925311a6 had screamed 96701bdfa2 hysterically about e37d127197 being pursued 066c1c8ceb and fled b5ef1c456e the village cea9232a66 in his d65b21c29b car, only 4f791ab4b5 to crash 2f225e7e1a due to 79416f0b1c brake failure, 756920c8b7 slamming into b1cc6a84ef a guardrail 5a28ba3e9c and ending 95981248c8 up severely a1ff6d4a01 injured.60828cda7b1c42a6

    Ryubeom could surmise that the accident was caused by the restless spirits clinging to the vehicle. It seemed unlikely that someone who’d been cruel to the weak from a young age would grow up to be a decent person, and he had apparently continued to bully others incessantly after the incident. Ryubeom wasn’t sure whether to be relieved that Nakyung’s resentment was resolved in this way…e9a518c7589ac252

    Though the evil 8ee60eef8e spirits of Hyojomyeon 012a1a8661 were gone, it e73b87589d was peculiar that 88db292207 the accident occurred 7ac00c1219 despite the vanishing 4316f142e9 of the negative b32409ae1f aura that might c68c6fe138 have incited the 90670c3ff9 spirits clinging to b62e2d6bbe him.

    Ryubeom checked his body in amazement. He had collapsed in a battered state the day before, but now there wasn’t a single wound. How could he have healed so much in just a day?

    Even the severe 704143c4a7 wound on his c52e8abf9e hand had left 1a23f46974 only a faint a30c2d9212 trace.

    In the past, when 057861b4d3 Ryubeom lived with his 97ef8be04d parents, he didn’t attend 414c64d334 school. Not only that, but 5789be6c1e he also had no e60b92428e experience going to any 6a143643a2 educational institutions such as 11a05a301e daycare, kindergarten, or various 275908d344 academies.64014b5851afc606

    However, as a 1fd811307d child, Ryubeom never c88ff6e648 felt discontent about c4f4bddf38 this. He actually liked a71cfca033 the fact that 1b66a2e244 he could always 3b40abd0f7 be with his 4ff3ae9dfb parents. The process of learning d558cb40db letters one by one 1dd4d2d75d from them was fun, 68ca690429 and he enjoyed the d382d042fd three of them huddling 9861667f10 together in the small 8772c43fc5 living room, looking at 533276af2a books.0181f6ffc8794df1

    Since he never made c302fe0f11 any friends of his 1516b0d6ea age, he didn’t yearn 4d7bf4c492 for school or academies. At that time, 50806429fb he was just dcb7c39ce9 relieved that he c5be3054f5 didn’t hurt anyone 5d95fe48fe because he couldn’t eccbe31553 control his energy fb35631577 well. Still, sometimes, very occasionally, 06dec2093d he would quietly watch 8d57f65c67 his peers walking around 38d6df8c4d with backpacks on the 6333243733 street. He was curious 6dea2928f9 about what kind ddf9aad165 of world they db5e6019d6 saw.0006180e98c3327f

    However, he thought that revealing such curiosity might make his parents sad. Even though they referred to their frequent moves as “field trips,” his parents were subtly apologetic towards him. In fact, one night, he overheard them worrying about his enrollment in elementary school.274bf4df52f618ef

    After that, when he f7a13e99f4 was educated by the 65235e3d3d family, he didn’t attend 088e07e23d an outside school because 5d9c2435a2 he was deemed unworthy b124c231c0 to be shown as d583f5a674 a member of the 6b6fe4cbaa family. In truth, 17dc74d08e the content d77cdc5349 taught by 87a2f352d6 the family e7b9e1476d was so 13286240e4 overwhelming that b2db9eaecf just keeping da051b7130 up with 8ce06b00d8 it was 4f057e875a a challenge.ba593c51314a0068

    It was 6ee40095da a perfectly 4a0a4adbc4 natural thing 4df6e11b0c to say, 9a00e511b8 like saying b1a6f4102d the sky 565c0d6f8d is blue, 3e01d9f24a but there e2b68378a9 was genuine 0d212455c0 surprise in 110bdf61e4 his words. It was fascinating to 0e4073f213 see so many children 12aa13a71e gathered in one place, 130c126529 and above all, it a8e31c2a0e was amazing because this 2edd43409a school was where both 409bd0847c beast people and humans 8b6be7ac04 studied together.15a341ed276d0f93

    Even after the 559aa8009d peace treaty was 6f09e7487e signed, the environments d41e9ea02c of beast people d5776b0dfe and humans remained 61f8352bda separated for decades—from 4cce75fed4 residential areas to 8870ae5f3c shopping districts, cultural 2714ecbc7f facilities, and educational 0766027173 institutions. It was only about 7d07b62d13 twenty years ago that 30fcc1d26f the residential areas were 55ce2899fc combined, and “integrated schools” 6665bbbc97 were established.3f2df86144d6396b

    At first, there were 14ef002b55 many negative opinions worrying 1e296f703a about conflicts between students, 37cd14dd22 but it turned out 4b9e3a043b that the relationships between 7685231b96 beast people and humans 6e39a52085 improved after the integrated 9ee59177b0 schools were established.

    So integrated schools 15d6c56c47 gradually increased, and 14e81b2c9e this place was 1e6cc4672f one of them.

    If he 20ce81b8f2 had attended 92d2d40938 school, could efa58ae133 he have 7757c76c4d been like 34104c732f that too?

    Perhaps feeling his gaze, 36f69e5c00 they suddenly turned around, 63ab941681 and Ryubeom quickly pulled bc3d6cc05c his hat down deeply. He realized how suspicious dd8534dc8e he must look, standing e6bd881e4c in front of an eed8efe87d elementary school, glancing at 05dd82ac46 the children and then deca273d5c suddenly hiding his face, 54ca12debe so he awkwardly cleared 8dc45fc0b5 his throat.f56158594bb1814f

    It could 1f68e2ec6d simply be 11fa3dedf8 a name—although a4646c2550 not common, fd8edc9aab it wasn’t 1c0aecbb2b entirely rare.

    In the past, when 6a143d8d7c beast people and humans 443f319b8e lived in separate areas, 43230cb820 there were no such 7377d889b0 conflicts as today. Back then, there ed6699129e were fewer beast 56d8bfb82c people, so interactions 7d79f76586 with humans were 8d7bd2a045 rare, and when 9950d25e92 they did occur, c2170feca8 humans mostly saw 2b60374651 beast people as f32bc7422a fascinating beings. Most of 3294d6af4b the mysterious a954604529 creatures recorded 47d5d6c57f in old 796e430a8c myths and 3c131a8a92 legends were 9e93cb7882 later revealed e57278cbad to be 15fa06ddaf beast people.0164d44f7d971ea4

    It was odd. There had been b3cd8b0395 times before when 0df8857545 Ryubeom thought that 4d49c41301 Yeohwi didn’t quite 2a77e96967 fit in this 4171e42dca villa.
