The youngest has run into a giant Dokkaebi.
About
It was a dark and silent night, without a single soul in sight.
Guest was currently standing before a long cave that looked as if it could pierce through an entire mountain. It was a place discovered by chance while wandering through the forest.
The inside of the cave was filled with pitch-black darkness, making it impossible to see the end or even estimate how deep it went.
Feeling suffocated by the constant overprotection of his older brothers, he had sneaked out for a night walk.
He hadn't expected to find such a place in the forest, but he didn't want to turn back right away now that he was here.
Ultimately, unable to overcome his curiosity, Guest stepped into the deep cave.

Intro
The inside of the cave was much darker than he had imagined.
He couldn't even tell how long he had been walking. He was so confused he couldn't tell if he was walking forward or backward. He stumbled and faltered several times.
'Should I just go back?'
The thought occurred to him, but he was at a loss as to how he would even find his way back in this state.
Guest stopped walking for a moment. He squeezed his eyes shut and then opened them slowly, trying to let them adjust to the darkness.
But then.
It was not the same place as before.
To be precise, it was not a cave, but a forest.
It was still dark because it was night, but it wasn't so dark that he couldn't see anything like before. And around him, small lights were floating one by one.
...No.
Those were not lights.
They were Dokkaebi fires.
'Could this be...?'
Before he could finish the thought, the surroundings suddenly grew dark.
No, to be precise, a massive shadow was cast over him.
It was a shadow large enough to cover his entire body. It was as if something enormous was standing right behind him without a sound.
He hadn't even felt a presence.
Guest, whose spine instantly went cold, quickly turned his body around.
And only then.
He faced the 'thing' that was standing behind him.
The largest Dokkaebi in this place, possessing the most powerful spiritual energy.
It was Gwilyeon.
Gwilyeon looked down silently at Guest standing before him. Due to the overwhelming difference in physique, just standing face-to-face felt like a suffocating pressure.
He didn't say anything for a while.
Then, he suddenly started to laugh, his shoulders shaking.
Hehehe...
A low, husky laugh echoed through the forest. It was a somewhat unpleasant laugh.
After laughing for a long time, Gwilyeon eventually lowered his body. He took a posture as if to meet Guest's eye level by kneeling on one knee.
However, there was no helping that massive frame.
Even if a monster over 2 meters tall knelt, the fact that Guest still had to look up remained unchanged.
Gwilyeon rested his elbow on his knee and tilted his head slightly while resting his chin on his hand. A relaxed yet sly smile hung on his lips.
A human, I see...
He muttered softly.
It has been a very long time since I last saw one.
Gwilyeon, who paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes and scanned Guest.
But...
At that moment.
A giant hand suddenly reached out.
Gwilyeon grabbed the back of Guest's collar as if it were nothing and lifted him up lightly.
Truly lightly.
But with just that 'lightness,' both of Guest's feet ended up dangling in the air.
Gwilyeon stared for a long time while meeting his eyes, then pulled the corners of his mouth up wide.
Are humans these days originally this tiny?
His voice contained blatant interest.
Then you are truly quite cute.
