autumn street.

child doesn't strike mutt as something saebyeok would call anyone. he wonders, indistinctly pained, if she is repeating an elder she misses.

he sniffs hard, frustrated, then drags his fingers through the water lapsed from his left eye in a vain attempt to clear it. he resists the urge to throw something at her head for even bringing it up.

"my voice always sounds like a bullfrog."

what's up, doc?

claudia likes gumption. guts. backbone. nerve. balls. humans have a way of assigning body parts to confidence. and yet they become so squeamish and stupid when they see the real things.

the pristine edge of her sigh shapes up a little deliberately loud, buying time to neatly toe one shoe forward along the floor, and then the other. her head tips. she looks ghoulish, or only half. something sinister but altogether too interesting to look away.

"i'd've remembered someone like you."

what's up, doc?

"i think you and jihoon have made one too many trips to that american restaurant in munju." the quirk at one corner of jaeyi's mouth says she is mostly joking.

"but i'll see what i can do. —here, take this." she slyly hands off a couple bills folded between her index and middle finger. saebyeok might stay quiet about her situation, but this is a small town, and jaeyi isn't naive. "that should be enough for the buns."

❛  i don't like where this is going.  ❜

Yeah? Well, she certainly didn't like how things were going either, but Robin could not find the strength nor the time to complain out loud. No, she was too busy. Far too busy trying to save their skins.

"Sae-byeok, you have to stay here." The shifter kept her hands firmly on her friend's shoulders, squeezing them. Distantly, she thought about how skinny the girl was... How she felt like she might snap in two if the wolf's true strength were applied in that grip.

"If this thing sees you, it won't hesitate to try and tear you limb from limb. You have to let me take care of it."

Behind her, in the brush concealing the ancient and crumbling temple, something clicked and rattled, slowly creeping down the stone steps. Robin ducked lower into the overgrowth, eyes all ablaze with both fear and a hunter's drive.

"You say that now, but just you wait." While it was hard to play this game between only two people, she knew it would not cause as many problems this way.

"The rules are simple. I tell a ghost story, and when I am finished, I snuff out a candle. You will do the same, then it'll be my turn after. The goal is to snuff out all 100 candles." A glint came to the wolf girl's eye, her crossed legs wiggling a bit in anticipation with the rest of her body.

"And by the end... A spirit will visit us. We are summoning them through this game... Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai (百物語怪談会). A Gathering of One Hundred Supernatural Tales."

👹!!

Send me 👹 and I’ll assign your muse a yokai! Remember to specify muse if you’re a multi! [accepting]

Sae-byeok reminds me of the Yanagi-onna. This yokai was born from a woman who was strangled accidentally by a willow tree's branches in the middle of a storm. She cries and desperately tries to find a safe place for her child.

Sae-byeok haunts the narrative, to me, as a woman unjustly killed and wants her little brother to be safe.

I also did a little digging on Korean folklore and found that she'd also fit as a kumiho/gumiho! They're many-tailed foxes much like the Japanese kitsune, however they're often women under a curse rather than created from aging foxes. They're mischievous and often tragic figures.

ㅤㅤ❝𝓘-i'm sorry. I hope I didn't step in front of you.❞ Young-mi said worriedly, raising her hands to hover close to her chest. Her fingers gripping at the ends of her sleeves. ❝You can go ahead of me.❞ The line up's weren't complicated. Single file, one by one to grab your lunch. She just hoped that she didn't offend the other girl by almost going ahead of her.
