First off, he is a fox. I don't know how to explain it, but the way he walks, smiles, looks around, blinks, holds himself, wrinkles his nose is all very foxlike. He is a fox in a human body. (I especially love the way he wrinkles his nose when he smiles. It's so cute)
Second, Rang typically carries himself like a very tough person. But Kim Beom gives him a subtle layer of vulnerability that comes out in moments of distress (Yeon's death scene especially). He becomes just like that little boy Yeon found in the forest six hundred years ago. He can look so young and afraid and fragile, a child that just wants his older brother. The heartbreaking way he whispers "Hyung" when they reunite the first time, and then on the video at the end, are moments that have lived in my head ever since. Both times the word is spoken so softly with so much love and reverence
Third, he's so cunty. I don't think I need to elaborate on this. The scene where he shifts from awkward nerd to himself???
I'm thinking about Rung's "origin" and how he came from the Pious Pools.
You know what I'm thinking that happened? He either took the Amnesia Ray at that location or got blasted there, and slept for ages and ages. Then, when he finally woke up, it created a godly shockwave so potent that made all the land in the region pregnant

Lee Rang watched from a distance, his eyes trained on your form. He hadn't met someone like you before nor could he guess what you were.
Your hair was pulled into a high ponytail, hanging down to your feet and you wore black and green robes. A sword hung on your waist and Rang wondered how you got it. You were his age, only 16 or 17 years old, and he doubted that you had already earned it at that age.
"She's a goblin." A voice behind him spoke and he looked up to see his older brother, who was also looking at you. You seemed to have heard him, turning your head and connecting your eyes with Rang's. They were a bright golden color, reflecting with the light that shone on your face. You didn't move your gaze, keeping it locked on Rang before smiling at him.
"Didn't think foxes lived here." You spoke, your voice holding a taunting melody that made Rang shiver slightly. You turned around fully, taking slow steps to the pair of brothers until you stood in front of them completely. Bowing your head to Lee Yeon first, you greeted him with respect as he was the ruler of the mountain. Then you turned to Rang, smiling brightly once more.
"Aren't you a cute one." You spoke, leaning down slightly to reach his height before patting his head.
"Might I steal this one?" You looked at the older man, who only nodded before disappearing from sight, and leaving you and Rang behind. You turned back to the younger.
"What do you want?" He asked and you couldn't help but scowl at him. "Watch your tone, I'm older than you." You said and Rang frowned, asking your age. You were two years older than him, of course.
"So, do you know any good food places around here?"
"You look ridiculous, noona." "Have you seen yourself, Rang?" You replied and the fox looked down at his clothes with a frown. He was dressed in denim and other bright clothes, socks pulled over the bottom of his jeans. His hair was covered by a beanie and his eyes by sunglasses that looked like they were made a thousand years ago.
"At least I look in fashion, noona. You look like you're wearing the same clothes as when I met you." He replied and you scoffed, pulling your dress up slightly with a smile.
"I like these, that's the important part. Besides, those jeans are itchy." You pulled at his pants, snickering when Rang pushed your hands away.
The market was fun to be, reminding you of the markets you went to as a kid. The joy of the children that ran around, the vendors loudly yelling out for anyone to come to their stalls and of course the smell of food. You missed it every day, so coming to the market once seemed like a fun thing.
"Right, how is that girl you found? Yuri, was it?" You asked and Rang nodded, shrugging afterwards. "She's hiding in her room, still. Last time she hissed at me. Can you believe it?" He said and you laughed.
"It'd do the same if I could."
"Okay, what about this?" You asked, getting out of the changing room in burgundy dress. It was an off-shoulder dress, the sleeves poofy and reaching to your wrists, and the bottom part was more flowy, reaching to your knees. In the middle was your corset, a black design with golden flowers stitched into it. Lee Rang looked up from his phone, staring at you from the couch before nodding at you.
"No commentary this time?" You asked and Rang scoffed at you, putting his phone down. "It looks good, no more to say." He said and you smiled, hopping closer before leaning down.
"It doesn't look beautiful?" You asked, trying to get a reaction from him. Unfortunately, he had outgrown the shyness in the last years and thus barely reacted. But you did see the corner of his mouth twitch and this said enough for you.
"Thank you." You smiled at him before hopping back to the changing room and changing back in your own clothes. Once out, you pulled Rang along to the cashier.
"I'll pay." Rang said and you wanted to protest, but the girl at the cashier interrupted you.
"What a nice boyfriend you have. Wish I had one like him." She said, eyes turning to Rang in what seemed to be some sort of seduction. Rang didn't even look at her as he scanned his card.
"I wish you good luck in finding someone like that." He then spoke before pulling you along, arm thrown around your shoulders as he carried the bag in his hand.
"So, you're my boyfriend now?" You asked and he laughed softly, pulling you slightly closer to him.
"We've already kissed and slept with each, doesn't that qualify at this point?" He asked and you pushed his head away before kissing his cheek. You skipped ahead of him slightly, still holding his hand as you turned back to face him with a smile.
"I could spend an eternity with you as my boyfriend."
