What does that mean all of a sudden??

목아

Oppa, did you come out to the boarding house??? You said it was nice there

수영

Mok-ah, just while Oppa gets a new room... Just while he's here, Oppa, please take care of me. Don't ask why, okay??

Since I was on good terms with my brother, I didn't feel any discomfort about living together, but I thought it was strange that he seemed a bit anxious.

My brother left the boarding house and came to Mok-ah's house.

My brother was usually bright and kind... but he looked a bit uneasy and darker than before, so I was worried.

목아

Oppa;; You haven't been eating well lately;; Are you sick??

수영

No..... What day is it today??

목아

Why today, March 7th?

수영

No!! By the lunar calendar!!

Mok-ah was startled by her brother's sudden scream.

목아

Ah...uh...February 13th;;;

수영

(Mumbling) Two days....two days later....you'll know....it's okay....it's okay....

Two days later at dawn

수영

I'm out..... I'm finally out!! Oh no......

목아

(Waking up to the sound of sobbing) Oppa.... crying....huh?

수영

Oh... because of me... because of me ㅠㅠ

I had no choice but to console my brother, who was sobbing, saying it was his fault.

After a while, the story that Suyeong finally managed to bring up was about the boarding house...

After two weeks, I turned into an animal... I couldn't eat animal food while still having human memories, so I ate human food and got sick...

I had no choice but to use other people to escape that place... I was freed from the curse, but I am still tormented by regret...

목아

Oppa... I went there and came back from the boarding house...

수영

(Surprise) Ah..... Uh.....

목아

Don't worry, I'll take good care of you.
