Gumiho in the Forest
06. Tale of the Nine-Tailed (2)
As soon as Nari finished washing up and came out, a strange sound started coming from the crack in the kitchen door.
When Nari peeks into the kitchen, what she sees is...
구미호
Kyaaak-
It was a nine-tailed fox.
J..I..I!
Nari was surprised and took a step back,
구미호
...Kuuk- Kyaaak
It was after I had already been caught by the gumiho.
Nari was so shocked that she froze on the spot.
But if there's something strange...
구미호
Ugh- N.. Na.. Ri.. Run.. A.. A.. Run away..
The nine-tailed fox that eats human livers doesn't kill Nari and even tells her to run away.
Nari felt something strange.
The gumiho grabbed her head even tighter and shouted... no, screamed.
구미호
N.. Nari! I'll give you my fox bead.. Take this bead... Kyaaa..! Mother's illness..!!! Ch.. Keuuuk
구미호
Heh.. If you run to the place where the sun shines..! Nari's house will appear... Ugh..
나리
Haha..but
Nari was taken aback by the gumiho's offer to give her the fox bead.
There is an old saying that if you take the fox bead from a gumiho, it will disappear.
Nari couldn't understand why the gumiho would do her such a favor.
나리
Heh..but if you take that out, Ah..no, Gumiho-sama will disappear..!
구미호
I don't care... Ugh... I don't need a life anyway since I keep taking other lives... Ugh...
구미호
Come on, run away quickly..!!!
나리
... Thank you, Gumiho. I will not forget this favor..!
The gumiho, who was struggling and screaming, held a blue fox bead a little smaller than the palm of Nari's hand tightly.
Nari started running towards the rising sun, looking for apples.
All around, the howling of foxes or wolves could be heard.
Nari's hands were sweaty, perhaps from nervousness or from running for a long time, but she ran, clutching the fox bead tightly.
I won't let go of this fox bead that the gumiho gave me.
Even after Nari left the forest, the howling continued for a long time, a sound that could not be determined to be that of a fox or a nine-tailed fox.
구미호
..my first love and my last love will be Na-ra..
also
구미호
..it was a love that could not be realized..
구미호
..I dare
I fell in love with you.
The forest became quiet as if it had never been like that.
and
There were no more victims in that forest.

Hmm? What book were you reading?
화여주
Well... I think it was just a book that had difficult feelings.
화여주

김태형

화여주
Um... I left something in my room for a while.
김태형

화여주

김태형
Would you believe this book if it were a true story?
김태형
Well... it's just a story from my past...
김태형
I knew this book would be here... I guess I'll have to hide it in the attic...

This episode [Tale of the Nine-Tailed (1,2)] was a bit of a glimpse into Tae-hyung's past.

Of course, Taehyung wrote the story of the past into a book.
