*Rustle. Rustle.* “Hold.” Alex raised his hand and spoke in a low voice. Everyone behind him came to an immediate halt. They were on the outskirts of the city, hiding in the hills of an area where farmland and urban sprawl mixed. About 300 meters ahead, they could see an inn. The inn wasn’t small, but it wasn’t particularly large either. Yet, it had an unusually high number of guests. Based on the footprints and carriage tracks, there…-

It’s no wonder she couldn’t help but feel conflicted. What kind of cat would try to stop its owner from leaving? This was really not a good situation. Because it was unbearably cute, to the point of being bad for her heart. Emilyna, with a troubled expression, gently stroked Yangi’s head. “Don’t worry too much. I’ll be back soon with some tasty treats, okay?” “Meow…” Yangi’s eyes drooped, and…-

When she opened her eyes again, the hospital bed in 21st-century South Korea was nowhere to be seen. Instead, Adelaine’s bedroom, which she had glimpsed the night before under the faint moonlight streaming through the window, came into view. As morning light poured in, the room, which had seemed luxurious before, now appeared even more opulent, dazzling her eyes. “Are you awake, my lady?” A woman in a maid’s uniform bowed her head and greeted her. Adelaine nodded, still dazed. She noticed…

Where Am I, Who Am I? I stared at the face reflected in the glass. It was definitely not an East Asian face. The reflection in the water's surface showed a Western-looking face with blonde hair and blue eyes. Anyone would agree it was a beautiful face. And when I looked at the mirror beside me, the full figure of this beauty came into view. As I saw my reflection in the mirror, I dropped the glass. Flowing blonde hair that reached down to my waist, sparkling bright sky-blue eyes, and flawless…

“Were you upset?” “A little?” “But still, wrong is wrong. That day, I—ugh. Anyway, I was worried.” “I'm sorry. Next time, I'll be sure to tell you before I go.” “What? So you're saying there will be a next time?” Emilina lowered her head to meet Kir’s gaze. Kir, flustered, looked around nervously and tried to explain. “N-no, that's not what I meant. I just meant that if something like that happens again, I’ll make sure to tell you…” So please, don’t…

Kirr urged Emilina impatiently. Emilina cautiously continued speaking. "You… can you turn back into a cat?" "I'm not a cat, though…" "Huh? What did you say?" "Nothing. Never mind. But why?" "I was just thinking… You can't go out of the room like this. My parents would be shocked." Emilina rested her chin on her hand with a troubled expression. Right now, Kirr was in human form. A strange child, whom her parents had never met, suddenly walking out of her room wearing her…

“Then… I can really stay here?” Kir’s string of questions felt like he was trying to confirm that he truly belonged. Emily smiled helplessly. “As long as you want to, of course.” Kir was silent for a moment before asking in a quiet voice, “Even if I bring misfortune?” “That won’t happen. And even if it did, it would be the result of my choice—not your fault.” To reassure him, Emily gently patted Kir’s head. “So, you don’t have to be afraid…

If it really was a monster that appeared, they needed to leave the forest immediately. At that moment, the sound of rustling was heard again. The sound was very close, as if something was nearby. ‘Something feels off.’ Feeling that it was too strange to be a monster, Emilina looked around. Then, she noticed a pile of leaves stacked neatly beside a Paya tree. ‘Was that there before?’ She had been too distracted to notice. She hadn't seen it because she was busy gathering Paya…

However, the child hesitated again and didn’t open his lips. ‘Does he not have a name?’ Emily tilted her head in curiosity but quickly dismissed the idea, recalling how reluctant he seemed about being called "Yang." Perhaps he simply didn’t want to share it. Reaching that conclusion, Emily decided to call him what she had been calling him. “Then I’ll just call you Yang, okay?” Shake, shake! The child shook his head vehemently, clearly expressing his disapproval. After…

"Hey, little one, little one." "Mm…." The child stirred a few times before groggily opening his eyes. His golden irises, strikingly contrasted against his jet-black hair, left a strong impression. So strong, in fact, that it felt like someone came to mind. ‘Who was it?’ Unable to pinpoint the thought, she tilted her head in confusion. At a glance, he resembled Yangi turned human… but was that just her imagination? It also felt like there might be another figure he reminded…
