When the Tiger Came: A Cynical Romance with Obsession in a Historical Drama
By Melicia°
On the mountainside, a dimly lit moon loomed behind the clouds. A chilly breeze gently blew in, and beneath the bare branches of the many remaining trees, only dried, fallen leaves lay in heaps. A gust of wind, barely able to blew, shifted the leaves, little by little.
A braided hair styled into three neat sections
A girl wearing a red top and yellow skirt.
Where the tiger comes -
“Everyone, step back and leave that child alone.”
After leaving several lit torches behind, they all retreated, leaving the girl alone under command. What could be more profound than the crackling, crackling, crackling of a lit painting in the ensuing silence? The scene, robbed of its clear vision by some unintended means, was lost in its focus. The dense darkness was reminiscent of pitch black, and the dew that formed the next day seemed to slip and splash. Dark pupils, shadowed and silently staring between the bushes.
As the tension builds, tears fall from the girl's eyes, mixing with the dew that had fallen gently. It may be that no one notices, or that only the eyes that met her notice.
He let the water in his eyes flow away a bit and slowly walked ahead. He had no socks on his feet, just a pair of worn-out straw sandals. Not only was there no word exchanged, but he only had a disgusting gaze that seemed to convey a sense of pity. After walking for seven minutes, he heard the roar of a ferocious beast. This was unusual.
“I never said it was black! Isn’t it especially sacred? I don’t think I’m in a position to dare to speak ill of it.”
“Keep quiet. You could be the bait.”
“ … . ”
I almost stumbled and fell into a ditch running along the mountain path. But then it suddenly disappeared. It was a tiger!
Of course, the girl fainted and when she opened her eyes, a man was looking down at her.
Ahem, it must be delicious. I said it was okay since you sent me food like this all night, but you seem a bit disappointed today.
Then, he slowly pulled down his clothes and buried his face in her neck, leaving her speechless. He could really be a tiger.
* It's time for the tiger to come
That is, when the tiger comes
* Let's go
A word that has been modified from the old saying ‘범이다’.
