Summary: Seo Yeong have always had recurring dreams of a magical forest. Yet when she finally goes to look for it, she couldn't have imagined what she would find. Or how her life would change because of it.
------------------------------
Seo Yeong froze for a moment. She didn't realise how long she have been inside the den, it was already night outside. And somehow... the scene in front of her was even more magical than she thought could be possible. How can such things... still exist in this time and age?
Thousands of tiny lights surrounded her as Seo Yeong ventured further into the garden.Wol Ryung waited on her at the entrance of the den as he watched her silently. Not that she minded because she didn't feel that Wol Ryung meant her any harm.
The flowers and shrubberies are so beautiful, coupled with the blue fireflies (She never knew blue fireflies existed!)... it was just so magical. She reached for her DSLR to try capturing the sceneries around her. While doing so, she turned around to see behind her before exclaiming in surprise.
Wol Ryung suddenly appeared from behind her, unsmiling and looking so frightening. His clothes were also all in black—Seo Yeong gasped as her foot slipped on a rock.
Someone caught her from falling into the creek as SeoYeong cry out in alarm.
“Seo Yeong, are you all right?” Wol Ryung exclaimed at her in concern. Seo Yeong stared at him in confusion before turning towards the other Wol Ryung; only to find there was no one. She blinked as she allowed Wol Ryung to help him up.
“What was that?” she muttered to herself.

She gave a cry of wonder as she knelt beside the creek, watching some of the fishes that swam to the surface of the water before straining her ears to hear the rushing sounds of a distant waterfall. She ran her hand into the water, causing some of the nearby fishes to flee.
“This place is so beautiful, how is it possible that no one ever found this place before?”
Wol Ryung smiled. “No one ever ventured so deep into this forest as I have. The paths towards this place are very complicated, normal people wouldn't have been able to find here without getting lost themselves.”
Seo Hwa's eyes widened.
“Was that... why you said the people that were chasing me won't come here? Because this place was so secluded?” she asked as Wol Ryung nodded.
Seo Hwa let out a long sigh before turning back towards him. “How did you know I've been tied to a tree? Have you been watching me?”
Wol Ryung blinked before looking away, almost like he was embarrassed.
“I... well, before... I went out a bit too close towards the villages. That's when... I saw you. I wanted to help you... before but when I did, you were no longer tied to the tree. Since then... I'm always worried that something might have happened to you.”
Wol Ryung looked really troubled, that Seo Hwa couldn't help feeling flattered. After everything that she faced these few days, it warmed her heart so much to know that there were still people being kind to her. It hurt to be suddenly shunned by the villagers, just because of the false accusation placed on her family. To suddenly being made to face the cruel realities of the world. Being thrown from the familiar life... to a strange cold world she never thought could exist outside her comfort zone.
Wol Ryung saving her life was a grateful thing, how could she ever repay this? Knowing that Wol Ryung had been wanting to rescue her from her harsh fate for some time already, made her heart beat rapidly. There was still hope in this world, there were still kind people in this world!
She's not alone!

Someone was calling her name anxiously. Someone was shaking her body rapidly...
“Seo Yeong! Seo Yeong! Are you all right?”
Seo Yeong blinked as she felt something cold being pressed on her forehead. She looked up to see Wol Ryung's worried face.
“Are you hurt?” he asked again worriedly.
She shook her head. “Err... no, I'm fine. I must've been so dazed after falling...”
Wol Ryung frowned. “You've been spacing out for quite a while, I was scared if something happened to you. I won't forgive myself if something—”
“I'm fine!” Seo Yeong said hastily, before her stomach suddenly growled. She blushed. “Sorry... I didn't mean—”
Wol Ryung finally grinned. “If you're hungry you should've told. Do you mind rabbit meat? Or fish? You looked pale, you need to at least eat some meat. Wait here...”
And just like that, Wol Ryung just ran off. She couldn't even say anything to stop him, not even to say that she brought some food with her. Despite that, she smiled. Somehow she felt that it was so charming of Wol Ryung to be so concerned about her. But even then... at this time of night, can he even catch anything?
She wondered if it was okay to let him do these things for her.

She couldn't help smiling. Wol Ryung looked so happy, coming back with a live rabbit and a sack of fish. As if this was a great achievement for him, coming home with food. She couldn't believe that it was possible to do it. But Wol Ryung's a divine being, he must have his own tricks when gathering food... even fox spirits had to eat, right?
Wol Ryung wasted no time skinning the rabbit and starting the fire to cook the rabbit and fishes. He didn't even let her help out, just because he wanted her to rest. But she was already quite rested!
And then her attention was turned back towards the blue fireflies. It was really amazing to see so many around here.
"I never thought I could see so many fireflies in one place for real. This was really an amazing sight!" said Seo Yeong as Wol Ryung shook his head.
"These aren't fireflies," he corrected her before coming over. He cupped his hands towards her as suddenly the tiny lights gathered in his palms and formed the shape of a rabbit. The blue 'rabbit' jumped out of his hands and landed on her lap, before dispersing into a green splash of light.
Seo Yeong gasped in wonder before turning to face Wol Ryung. "Firelights?" she asked as he nodded. But just as the thought crossed her mind, another feeling swept into her. Strange, as if she said something similar to this exchange before...
Her confusion must've been showing clearly as Wol Ryung's voice suddenly broke her thoughts.
"Something wrong?"
She glanced up before shaking her head. "No... it's nothing."
"That reminds me," Wol Ryung suddenly said, "...what happened earlier? Did you see something?"
Seo Yeong blinked, and was reminded of the black Wol Ryung she saw earlier. Or she thought she saw. A part of her wanted to tell him the truth yet another part was scared. Even if it was just her imagination she didn't want it to happen. Or admit that it could happen. So, better for her to not think about it. She shook her head again.
"Nothing. I just scared myself... that's all. "
She didn't want to think that the kind Wol Ryung could become that dark person she thought she saw before. And even if he once had taken that form... she didn't want it to happen again. Because somehow, deep in her heart she knew how much that would hurt the both of them.
It was enough that she experienced that feeling once. No more.
