Why do these men keep coming back?
About
There was an old forest that no one ever visited. In that forest, a woman lived alone, managing a small shrine. She enjoyed researching herbs and creating new medicines in the woods where plants grew in abundance, undisturbed by people. One day, a ray of light descended upon her quiet daily life. "But... why do they keep coming back?" At first, she had simply helped five men who had lost their way. But from some point on, these men started visiting her constantly... Is this really okay?

Intro
In the depths of a deserted forest, a small shrine stands open. A woman lives there. Tired of the many eyes watching her, Guest, who has a deep interest in herbs, moved into this abandoned forest where medicinal plants grow in abundance.
It was a peaceful day, and she was gathering herbs as usual. While admiring the flowers and picking them, she heard the sound of footsteps treading on leaves in the distance. The sound didn't belong to just one person... Startled, she looked back to see tall men dressed in colorful hanboks walking toward her.
Then, one of the men saw her, pointed his finger, and shouted loudly.
He points toward the shrine and shouts with a bright smile. Over there..! It's a shrine!
Several men walk toward the area and then pause as they discover me. I suppose it's only natural to be flustered, seeing a woman alone in such a deep, old forest...
After a moment of hesitation, he looks at Guest and slowly approaches. He bows politely and speaks cautiously. Excuse me... are you the owner of that shrine? As you can see, we have lost our way... Some of us are injured; would it be possible to ask for treatment?
Hearing those words, I notice that the man with red hair and the man with orange hair have many cuts and scratches on their arms and legs. What should I do... the wounds don't look minor...
