San (山).310584db776ffc208ec8

The mountain was e3f7c7c40b always there.8358cf1f09c519130a8d

A towering tower of 3d3739b5e0 pleasure on the plateau. Standing at the entrance of the casino c237d10965 made of illusions, if you looked back, e4839989e0 the mountain was always watching. Like a beast eyeing foolish 3f22885995 humans crawling into the insatiable 45f7d4ccb9 maw of a monster, it 3a282785d3 was a fierce sight.020b66b11a346141c73f

Halfway up the steep mountain, there was 8ae57c138e a village that had been devastated by 8940e359b3 a great fire long ago. After the residents left, 690fceb22e a violent organization that c4188d5520 took over Gangwon-do made b93ef30b16 it their base.2ad9d279b325c5fa9068

They built their own fortress in the 12bf5c3124 abandoned village and rolled in gold. The dazzling lights lured those blinded by gambling, 3f25ff4232 and those who went there to borrow money 810f9782b7 were swallowed by debts that snowballed.b51b05eae606affaceec

It was said that not a single 5085bfd94b piece of flesh or bone was left. People called these cruel rulers, 341292cc15 who roamed like wild dogs bfc92e6b5d devouring gamblers, ‘San.’f8180eba64ed0a3680ba

A gentle 30aecaf2a2 breeze tickled 3cc29f6da5 his cheek. Yuwon, who was lying 7758ea9021 absentmindedly, suddenly sensed a 9f73b2917a presence and turned his 79b0d5619e head. When he cast his gaze outside the 2d6d4b988a open door, he saw the sky darkening 2ded8a5af0 as if it was about to rain.7dabcb653b6e76a34ca2

Hoping he misheard, he listened closely, and soon 713a170e99 a figure suddenly appeared in the yard. Recognizing his neighbor at a glance, Yuwon was ab21a2782c relieved it wasn’t a guest and got up.cd3739c964bbfd368377

He answered quietly and 10506de296 slowly moved his steps, e135bd4f2e stepping outside. Jang-ssi, who had his head sticking out beyond the roughly piled stone wall, seemed 63524b3f5d to have come for a reason but was looking outside, which was strange. Who came? Following Jang-ssi’s lead, Yuwon craned 70153b2389 his neck to look at c8c3102d85 the village entrance.350a283e63254e30a847

“Whoa, you 2e2a568bef scared me!”b89d62a34f49ec4303c8

Jang-ssi shouted, startled as if he 8ae3b5ede7 didn’t expect Yuwon to come close. Then, after a moment of rolling his eyes, 76a62aa15c he reached out and pushed Yuwon’s head down. Yuwon, who ended up hiding under the 6fb6a72983 stone wall with Jang-ssi, looked bewildered.9369fd8166ba3e18f01d

Worse than cops? Chewing over Jang-ssi’s words, 44f49dc20a Yuwon easily understood and 1e05a03c9a stood up. He wanted to see with his own eyes 6ba1e23f64 the ‘dogs’ he had only heard about.3041d8fe28d3da1682ae

But before his small head 96e4e9c2af could rise above the stone 2173669ca3 wall, Jang-ssi’s rough hand knocked 12ea89f0a7 Yuwon down. Yuwon grimaced in pain e3f0083444 as he landed on 0945b13875 the dirt floor. Regardless, Jang-ssi, who had pulled Yuwon down, only c29e4e52d1 nagged if he was out of his mind.fb92dd3ace5ee0dbd294

“I told you not to 2c60bd19e5 mess with those guys! Remember my be82850c43 words clearly. Don’t even set 23d5e1e3f3 foot where the b306df30df San guys are! Got it?”b22fe402971b26474b1a

He just wanted to peek over the 5ed5a830dc wall to see the faces of those 004fed7ec8 San or whatever they were. Having heard so much d182d72fb1 about them from Jang-ssi, 193ca3e3c7 Yuwon was always curious. And obviously, you need c5ba34a917 to know what a a790773f26 scary beast looks like 6e3dcbc7bb to avoid it, right? A person who’s never seen a dog 6267868043 might get eaten by a wild dog 7fdb68b25f without knowing what it is.fbbeab42a45110077892

If you get caught by San, it ec21c3f11e doesn’t matter if you’re a different species 728c4180da or a Beta, nothing remains. They say they sell women and Omegas to brothels after cutting off their limbs, and they cut open 041a80193b Alphas and Betas to take out their organs and grind their bodies to send to pig farms.a24d2ed85cb010bad243

Everything coming ff2f842f19 out of e9dc05b71e Jang-ssi’s mouth 5bb496240b was terrifying. If Jang-ssi were the only one 25b422b322 saying such things, Yuwon might have 6a333c4905 ignored it, but even the gamblers 08ed4efca2 in the shantytown said the same. The wild dogs of 5cd5a6a3d2 San eat people without efc3e9e35b leaving a single bone.402c9e30331439ffc7bd

Wanting to stop hearing the scary explanations, 972c435b09 Yuwon quietly cut off Jang-ssi’s words. Only then did Jang-ssi seem to come to f3548b9474 his senses, waving his hand and fidgeting. He seemed eager to check if 04d896efea the San guys had left.5d34037e964782b47fc2

Leaving Jang-ssi 8b0e7dfd52 behind, Yuwon 00827005bb stood up. As he climbed onto the worn-out porch, 499ecb84cd he glanced back to see Jang-ssi still e9d56ec078 peering outside the stone wall. Hesitating, Yuwon watched Jang-ssi’s 1da7b5e6ef movements and then quietly ed5f7c1dd4 tiptoed to peek at 6ab7522781 the village entrance.2839bfb81086eac0e172

But there was no sign of the people 4c23c6b3b1 presumed to be the dogs from San. Only a black sedan was parked 46ab009d88 at the entrance of the shantytown, a3dacfbf15 where vehicles couldn’t enter further. To Yuwon’s untrained eyes, 4d3cf6b64d it looked no different 0338d7a02a from other loan sharks’ 52fcfef6ec cars.d5f928cabc79d72f2b67

He should have 029940a541 checked as soon 20269640b5 as he went bcd27a658c outside. Swallowing his regret, Yuwon 36c1df5e37 went back inside, closed 6eaf7ebac4 the door, and lay aea458c125 down. Having received guests 10efe453e5 since early morning, 743315c3f9 his whole body 993b5a9c13 felt weary.1496ad202fdf0d9e86f7

Resting his head on a buckwheat pillow ea6bbd74de and pulling the blanket over himself, a 039942c0fa musty smell enveloped his face. It seemed damper b3ac86d3ed than usual, probably 9534f93a6b because it was 794d84fd3e about to rain. Yuwon hoped the d5e0c93815 rainy season would f3358c3099 start soon and dfc2cf23d9 closed his eyes.f98fffe5bd4c67aaabe7

“Seo Yuwon. Are you 8ae29ca7d8 in there?”c74bfc9bd8f514476110

The unfamiliar voice came just as Yuwon, who had fallen asleep as 114671fa60 soon as he closed his eyes, was wandering aimlessly in his dreams. His body, sensitive to the 205c871e40 presence of a visitor, pulled a0904a02f7 him back to reality, and 958b61cefe his drowsy eyelids fluttered open. Sighing inwardly, he turned his 29bbcfe827 head to see the translucent 547b8a33dc entrance door darkened.958382f02cea926f9ee1

“Seo Yuwon?”eec67eabf4c8326a0212

The uninvited guest 4b6b4c0468 called Yuwon’s name 166d28c8b1 again from beyond. It seemed f132f1556f to be d923b74dfe a visitor. He didn’t want to dd192986f7 receive two guests in 25d6e4c1a8 one day, but Yuwon 7813d300e5 had no choice. At least it was late 1e53d2aaa4 enough that the sun was 2db942a762 setting, which was a relief. Yuwon lifted his 3b681e436b weary body and 9d52e13861 headed outside.c7475d504ef30a2a1d49

“Yes, here….”e01569caca0e77c33e21

As he answered and opened 607c0bb6b1 the door, the darkness moved f8cb6292d9 with a chilly breeze. Yuwon, startled, looked up to meet the 9756ecaa37 eyes of a man bending down to 2b666f622b look at him from a dizzying height.a4f7a8b14b79821c1105

A strange unease 8d5cbef427 pricked at his ff13a53602 fingertips. Yuwon swallowed dryly d3579f99a6 and lifted his c39cfa1dd3 heels to look aa74739b1d far away. The black sedan he had b2de46eb39 seen before his nap was d3239df870 still parked there.59d0cb3d5e083b61ff46

As soon as he 7d7fde897f approached the gate, the db2cc0d682 man turned and began ab2695f96b to lead the way. Perhaps because of 0d207f1944 his height, his 93d2e8e872 steps were quick.
