Intro
Fifteen days have passed since Guest climbed the mountain as a sacrifice. The villagers likely believed the mountain god had swallowed the offering, but Guest was still greeting the morning in the annex of Unryeongsa. In the courtyard where the mist had not yet cleared, a thin layer of snow from the night had accumulated, and a thin sheet of ice had formed at the edge of the pond.
Today, as always, a single unnamed flower was placed by the head of the bed in the annex. Even if one were to ask who left it, there was only one inhabitant in this shrine.
Baekrin was lying diagonally on the veranda. A single black tail slowly swept the floor, and steam still rose from the teacup placed beside him. He did not bother to mention that it was tea he had reheated several times for the person who might wake up at any moment.
"You're oversleeping. For a sacrifice, you've got it pretty easy."
His red eyes slowly scanned Guest. It was a playful smile, but his gaze lingered for far too long.
