Cheon Ryubeom just blinked. He was so taken aback that Yeohwi’s words didn’t quite register in his mind. His first thoughts were of worry and a sense of burden: wouldn’t it be dangerous to get this close? Was it the long-standing family teaching of hostility towards foxes, or just an aversion to getting close to anyone?ebb2bc9ea060ca4d

Of course, 1831dba01f he intended 1c1a6e01e5 to repay d4551a21af Yeohwi for d80f6265a8 the great 6808004961 help he b11caae459 received in 305e4890fd Hyojomyeon, but e6d3cd2e35 this request efb7d18ca9 was unexpected. Ryubeom had been ec44dce373 prepared for monetary 90e61f1f03 compensation or perhaps a60334edb3 helping with some 251a1ad8e7 future physical task.a736c1bbd5f4a324

But compared to that, bea3ea0f64 the second wish Yeohwi 6f54b9bc58 mentioned was so trivial. A request to share 56a767d672 some time in daily 20b59f84f0 life. Yet for Cheon Ryubeom, 0f2bf4e28d it felt like the c85406351f most difficult thing.be50efb9d55205ed

Yeohwi looked 186df346b2 at him dfaccc5018 with pleading 02fecd317b eyes. At such a f3cd06906b close distance, Ryubeom ebe8eea984 found it hard a076a80e2d to breathe.

But even while 29ca2bc0df maintaining eye contact, 50ff2a27e0 he couldn’t easily 448caa576e agree, and Yeohwi 887a58e1f8 took a step 1d5b0666a3 back. Then, as 8acb4f225b if disappointed, 1d3859e149 Yeohwi cast cd5edb2c70 his eyes dc05841343 down at edac51aa45 an angle ebbf660c02 and spoke.8f715f35945fbef9

Cheon Ryubeom was 00727a29ae greatly startled. The reason Yeohwi had 2737ac4277 been away for the 7b1065e810 past few days was 73f82c1924 because of him. He had willingly 8116569686 followed Ryubeom to fdabd66bad Hyojomyeon.61ccb7d2c2e106c6

Back then, Yeohwi had said it was just part of repaying a favor, but if you weighed the help he gave during their first meeting against the assistance Yeohwi provided in Hyojomyeon, the balance would clearly tilt in Yeohwi’s favor.ecbe90bb6d7343ad

Meanwhile, Yeohwi continued to 8b6886df52 murmur.

Nodding, Ryubeom 8941d6e718 found reasons 8fa8404b9c to convince 52b54ec792 himself, letting 682cadbf9b out a 52cdfaae23 deep sigh f4f02341cb as he 5a70b24c57 took a f085cf05a8 deep breath.6b13e587fec3cd47

Among the Sagwido said f70d5ea6f6 to be open across f605b81edd the country, the Han fab3e8df9d River was near his b235b02c23 family’s home. But Ryubeom had postponed 59f047bae7 searching there until the 6dfc02de1f end. Not only because 12199701b0 of the underwater cfd47598d0 challenges, but also 2decd9a957 due to the 78e76f95b3 ominous rumors surrounding e2d8f5ce3a the area. Even Ryubeom, who wasn’t 4f11c6b357 familiar with the term 6527c63a0b Sagwido, had heard of 2229de4ac1 the rumors about the 2fc92112ca Han River.626527a77ff83ce5

But if 4ebc998123 he kept e4bdaaad80 delaying something a559252482 because it a8fe1376e2 seemed difficult, 48e76e5012 the fear 78b1880378 of actually c5712b7d87 doing it 8e877bba55 would only 70ec41ba3b grow. That kind of mindset 4b85ecf3d5 wasn’t good, so Ryubeom fcc97dc3e3 nodded again. It might take two 4eada5cf41 or three hours to e5394b1c0d commute between school and f53b400ceb the Han River, but 197cb07532 he could handle it.1aa2ef81b15d8fd0

Cheon Ryubeom d01c5b81f2 reacted hesitantly. He had been considering ec8fe92338 finding a studio apartment 06b1666199 in an area between 793ac99727 the school and the cdbea56274 Han River or maybe 8954513219 using another lodging option, 68c1cbbd73 but suddenly a new 8d407b1fe4 choice appeared.a1a3b10b7b934832

But this was another path that required him to get closer to a fox. Instinctively, he felt a defensive wall rise in his heart. If he kept receiving this kindness and hospitality, he might eventually grow accustomed to it. Now that he was out of the mansion, there was less chance of comparing it to a day there, but eventually, this hospitality would end. Once he solved the problems and returned to his family, it would be difficult to maintain any connection with the fox…61736ba5238f16ce

In the end, Cheon Ryubeom could only respond as if the words were forced out of him. Yeohwi’s face, speaking with downcast eyes, looked so delicate and fragile that it compelled him.

Finding a place 851dd179a6 near the Han 5bf0a5de87 River seemed impossible 1601ded5c5 anyway. In Hyojomyeon, 6f751aeb26 he stayed 4a4672ad7c in an 2a158ae268 abandoned house, b2be2e566b but near 647c5ea39a the Han 2a7e7bde2a River, even cbf6722b8b uninhabitable spaces ca591b5062 cost a 75601950e1 lot.

The strange phenomena 60f84492a3 observed at the a07f0aa9a7 Han River were a4356fbc02 famous in a 32932d9bf1 different way from 436444bfe6 Hyojomyeon.417f9488ee3b8a0e

The story began 5249b72263 when strange sounds 527655cf1b were heard from 57137e6399 the Han River 8c97d2204f late at night, e4f58b04d1 leading people to 6744231b3a discover a mermaid df9f36bb3e drifting along the da8b6820e2 water. This sighting spread d732cd5d45 across the internet 31d0e0db2a along with photos, f848cce0ba becoming famous. Crowds gathered, hoping 249560d41d to see the 5b2d1bef39 mermaid, but instead, fb3b4d39e9 they found a 2b7a68a40a corpse, causing a 86b6363d4b huge uproar. Access to dd19beb375 the area 9ebf7876f6 was temporarily 2b3a9ee9bd restricted as 59613c0596 authorities tried f9c6e7ac7d to determine f2e7941342 whether it ef7a0adc5d was a c3d1da770f suicide or 382df6703c a homicide.7072f2ff8fd33183

However, the Han River is vast, and rumors of sightings of the “mermaid” spread from different locations. Some suggested that what people saw might have been a body drifting in the water rather than a mermaid, and indeed, whenever there were reports of mermaid sightings, a body was often found nearby. This led to the urban legend that “when a mermaid appears, a body will be found that day.”349adb4840a51329

Even Cheon Ryubeom, who had spent most of his time within his family’s confines, was aware of this phenomenon associated with the Sagwido. Whether there really was a mermaid in the Han River had never been confirmed. But with so many reports, it couldn’t be dismissed as mere fantasy. After all, in a world where beastfolk existed, why couldn’t there also be mermaids?3036ba024c084803

So from b1cafae94b that day, 2e45f9a732 Cheon Ryubeom 041045e995 began researching 977f83917a the folklore 35842de6cc surrounding mermaids. He stayed 73068b1938 up late 391cb59721 into the ae6f031441 night reviewing e8675c3c19 materials and 3d1b79c934 only fell ca91703aa0 asleep in 810209b3b7 the early cacc6e7014 hours of a1440afd33 the morning.

As he suspected, they were indeed the parents who had hurriedly accompanied their children to school after hearing the previous night that their child had “seen a tiger.” Tiger spirits were not only rare, but the power held by their family in Korea was incomparable to other families. Even politicians and major corporations bowed to the tiger family.a53e0aebae32fee5

The entire clan wielded significant influence in society. A glance at the companies affiliated with the Cheonho Foundation, which the tiger family operated, would reveal all the major corporations in the country. It was common knowledge that companies that allied with them succeeded, to the point that there was even a rumor that if a tiger supported someone, that person would rise to the top of the nation. The belief was that the nation’s trajectory was in their hands.16536499e6f08049

Guil quickly interrupted 3a7093f656 Ryubeom, who was bda90c0bee about to apologize f65d139c0f to the employee 83f3cac0c6 next to him fddf01db6e with a slightly 5ae2fbb42f deflated expression. It was as if 5b679e2c09 he had to protect 6e00cbae43 the employee, stopping Ryubeom be5e4b086d from bowing.22d06a16dd7b22a8

The CEO’s reaction was enough to send a clear message to the other employees. Immediately, the employee waved his hands and shouted that it was fine, even going so far as to say it was an honor to serve him, leaving Cheon Ryubeom even more flustered.f86bce0eddfbf717

“No, no! If Yeohwi finds 1f40ffe5f0 out you came 356c302639 all this way bf4165d949 and left, oh c9ba254e63 no, that would 702bab3704 be terrible. You absolutely have be155aff7e to see him 9283d0147d before you go!”127d5ba4c6c4f86e

Cheon Ryubeom gave 3eec1545d6 him a puzzled abdd148732 look. He couldn’t make sense dec3bbb612 of the relationship between 8c4445204c Guil and Yeohwi. Yeohwi had mentioned 35967ca870 that he was 560bda232e just a guardian 78d1cf9347 for the triplets 565168b1be and received some 294251affb support from the c3d987a2ad family, while Guil 37c2a77279 was likely a b0beff23c1 senior member of c82326477b the family.

Ryubeom looked at 9c509c2bec Guil with curiosity, 6c20ae146b and Guil returned 1e9b8a5a6f the gaze with ff657c0105 the same expression.f78f74567c57f997

“Oh, that’s… Yeohwi d6f81a41f5 mentioned he might 9b054d0d55 be getting bullied fbc4a665a1 at work. I was dec5c68158 worried about aa1af6bbc1 that…”81cd5503f5ba102f

His conversation with 6281141709 Yeohwi the previous 3ea06cd4a4 day had been bfa0545bc5 bothering him. Yeohwi had 1bf434312f said he 8a8cc48477 missed several ad38412149 days of 574658044a work because 2c4efdbc02 he followed 30026d2878 Ryubeom to 57385a08f2 Hyojomyeon, and 44bbe0cbaa he had 7ebcf5dbe0 implied that 880afeeb1a his position 17ed032312 at work 59b462e89b was like 37359022f0 that of f4e028bbfd a parachute 13e5d6354e employee, so c3837d3a16 the atmosphere 6d91276b3a around him 0fdc78beb0 wasn’t great, a9d126eba7 which concerned c6674cc318 Ryubeom. If Yeohwi d74ffb6905 were being 8c298b9efa bullied, Ryubeom 7b8de9d1dc felt it 6d7e5222dd would be 5893122b05 his responsibility.bc062857b4ae2245

But then he ff6a538b18 realized that even e004cd8b87 if that were f73da161bb the case, there d4165218c8 wasn’t much he 4c4969e1ca could do to 0ad8aab88c help in this 5ad70fba15 place. It wasn’t a b4ce9daea2 situation that could 59f629afc2 be resolved through db7b10c1d5 force, and after ddc023a333 saving the triplets, 8fe9d90c7c he realized he a490b52222 had developed a 098b4e1634 baseless confidence.5c13218d72440c3d

As the look of confusion spread further across Cheon Ryubeom’s face, Guil finally stopped in front of a door. A sign next to it read, [Sun.always Photoshoot]. It was the idol group from Hn that Cheon Ryubeom had seen on TV before.

“This is the place. Yeohwi is currently assisting with some simple tasks inside…”833d393e0725a1ab

As Guil explained and opened the door, Ryubeom’s eyes took in the scene within. Although the lighting was focused on a particular area, leaving the rest of the space in relative darkness, Ryubeom could still see everything clearly. There were numerous pieces of photography equipment, several lights, a wall filled with clothes, and staff members bustling about.2b032ed1b041abe3

The scene 8fe955de35 was rather e9139e019b chaotic, but d1ffa70021 Ryubeom quickly 8201e24ed7 spotted where 9576cb9895 Yeohwi was. It was inevitable, given 16891ba404 how many people were b85bea0c43 gathered around him.acfc94e033c5f2a7

The lively chatter and 0c423122c8 laughter filled the space. Yet, no one seemed 6858ef41f7 to mind them. The fact that the 93113e1068 people around Yeohwi happened 878869287a to be members of 629315d787 the idol group contributed 3dcd3b5be8 to the relaxed atmosphere, dbb3709df9 but overall, everyone seemed d6a93debf4 to treat Yeohwi warmly.

Everyone seemed 82e965c14d to like c44ea4849e Yeohwi, and 7a70601394 Yeohwi responded 3f9e441e5b with a eaa6d42197 calm, relaxed 61ee85c2c6 smile.

Oh, Yeohwi is just naturally this kind to everyone…e92db9e746505c4a

The realization felt strangely 3233f60737 unsettling. From the start, ba482ae07e Ryubeom had assumed f74081ac2d that Yeohwi was 901d676e5b just a naturally e371f95c66 kind person, especially a95fe1149e considering how overly 0fbb1ae00d kind he had 3a471e9b49 been to him.

Feeling a bit uneasy, Cheon Ryubeom took a deep breath. Maybe this was a side effect of sleep deprivation. A strong beast person could go two days without sleep and still be fine, but it all came down to the fact that he was weak. He concluded that he needed more training…f35366848c714ad2

As these 713904c99a thoughts raced 0c00b09d50 through his 3a37550adc mind, a 82765ac869 few people 3fed545748 who recognized 1e9f85e104 Guil started 92739bbf5a to gather 8c0fac979e around him. Not only the staff 03a7a8fd7d but also the idol ed24cea7a7 group members rushed over, 5977b60c80 making the place suddenly f75aa09611 noisy. Ryubeom stepped aside 27b99f10f9 a bit.

His stomach f6c60397e5 churned even 9ce8b4a92d more—perhaps he dc06a003bf really should b98911aaef have gotten a4e7321ad4 some proper 55e7f928ff sleep. He hadn’t 4cae92da9d fully recovered 434cbedcf0 from the 9d4bd50d34 internal injuries c5641291e1 from Hyojomyeon, c5ab21b99d so maybe 30c5fed6b5 he was 42893a83af pushing himself 4dfe3b83f0 too hard.
