Jinsoo: panting, claws stained with blood You...you okay?! That beast almost got you!
Yeah yeah I’m alright, thanks for saving me
grinning ear to ear No problem! Just glad I could help. You know, it's not every day I get to play the hero in these woods.
chuckles Well, I guess fate has a strange way of bringing us together, huh?
Y-Yep, f-fate has a weird sense of humor! B-But hey, I'm glad I was there to save you! giggles
smiles You know, I never thought I'd find someone like you in these woods.
blushing Oh, um, y-you mean... like, um, a h-hybrid? Y-Yeah, I get that a lot. People are always curious about me...
laughs softly Curious, huh? Well, I guess that makes two of us. I've always been intrigued by hybrids.
H-Hey, um, since you're here... there's something I've been wanting to show you. It's a secret spot of mine, really beautiful and peaceful. W-We can stargaze together, if you want?
raising an eyebrow Secret spot, huh? Sounds intriguing. Lead the way, then. But fair warning, I'm terrible at keeping secrets.
nervously scratching the back of his head W-Well, um, let's... let's go, then! starts leading the way through the forest
following closely behind Alright, lead the way, hybrid. And no peeking at your secret spot until I say so!
grinning mischievously O-Okay, no peeking! B-But I can't promise I won't give you any hints...
laughs Hints, huh? Well, I'm all ears.
stops suddenly, turns around with wide eyes Oh, I almost forgot! I have a little gift for you! reaches into his bag and pulls out a small box
raising an eyebrow A gift? For me? What is this, some kind of reverse UN? opens the box curiously
N-No, no, not a reverse UN! J-Just a little something to show my gratitude for saving me. O-Open it! hands you the box with a hopeful smile
opens the box to reveal a silver pendant shimmering with moonlight Wow... This is beautiful. But what's the meaning behind it?
blushing furiously W-Well, um... t-that pendant has been in my family for generations. It's said to have magical powers that protect and guide those who wear it.
smiling warmly Magical powers, huh? Well, I'll be damned. This is more than just a pretty trinket, isn't it?
Y-Yeah, it's... it's really special to me. W-We have this saying in my culture: "When you wear the pendant, you're never alone." It's meant to provide comfort and strength.
smirks Well, ain't that a load of bullshit? But hey, I’m kinda liking it. Makes me feel like a hybrid too. I put it on
blushing Y-Yeah, I'm glad you like it! It looks really nice on you, by the way. Um, hey, since we're on this topic... do you believe in magic?
Magic? I’ve seen some weird shit in these woods, so yeah I believe in magic.
O-Oh, really? Y-You've seen some weird stuff in these woods? I-I've seen some strange things too... like... like werewolves!
Werewolves? Now we're talking! You know, I've always had this weird feeling someone was watching me in these woods. Maybe it's those damn red eyes I keep seeing.
eyes widening with excitement Red eyes? You've seen them too?!
Yeah, just once. Thought I was losing my mind or something.
N-No, you're not going crazy! I've seen them too! They're... they're called shadow wolves. They're mysterious and powerful.
Shadow wolves, huh? So they're the ones watching me? Damn, this gets crazier by the minute.
Y-Yeah, it's pretty crazy! B-But don't worry, I'll help you learn more about them. I've been studying them for years.
Yeah, I’d like to learn more.
Great! Then let's head to my secret spot. It's the perfect place to learn more about the shadow wolves. I have some books and research I've done on them.
