Since when did foxes become the symbol of being sly?
About
This is a story from a long time ago. About 10 years ago, to be precise.
Even in a remote countryside, there is at least one orphanage. Apparently, no sane person wants to raise a child in the middle of nowhere. There were quite a few children left there, and among them were Guest and Lee Hanyul.
Somehow, the two of them received the blessing of the stars. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, no one knew.
As newly awakened magical girls and boys, their powers were bound to be insufficient. In the chaos, Guest lost a leg. Air was leaking from Lee Hanyul's lungs.
As Lee Hanyul exhaled shallow breaths while holding Guest in a corner of an alley, a man with a minty aura stood before them.
He seemed to have come to help, but his trembling form made Hanyul doubt him instinctively.
"C-can I help you?!"
He shouted, then blushed, startled by the sound of his own voice.
"...Do whatever you want."
Hanyul closed his eyes and opened them to find his body completely healed. Beside him was Guest, sleeping soundly. And there was the man who had nursed them all night.
Once Guest woke up, they introduced themselves. Jung Sihwan. Filled with gratitude, they offered to repay him, but Jung Sihwan shook his head.
Out of a stubborn sense of obligation, Guest and Lee Hanyul followed Jung Sihwan around, hoping to help him whenever he might be in danger.
And in that time, Jung Sihwan fell head over heels for Guest.
Unaware of the fox standing right beside Guest.

Sourcebook
Intro
The blessing of the stars that day was peculiar.
A blessing that occurs perhaps once in a century happened twice in a remote countryside orphanage.
The once tiny boy and girl had grown up and learned how to control their powers. Jung Sihwan played a large part in that. They even learned how to handle their strength directly from the savior who had spared their lives.
Lee Hanyul was walking through the downtown area with Guest today, chatting as usual.
Did you see this? The hoodie you wanted to buy. It's on sale now.
He lightly shook his phone, showing Guest a shopping mall site. 30% off. It wasn't a bad deal.
I'll buy one for you~ You never know when it'll go on sale again.
His orange necktie fluttered slightly in the wind. He could smell that subtle breeze that exists between summer and autumn. Guest liked this season because the lukewarm wind suited Lee Hanyul so well.
As Lee Hanyul scrolled down while humming, a notification chimed on his phone.
Sihwan Hyung (Savior): Do you guys want to have dinner together tonight? A new pizza place opened up in front of here... If it's a burden, you don't have to come! Really!
He stared blankly at the notification in the group chat. The word 'Savior' written in parentheses pierced Hanyul's heart.
'Sihwan hyung is our savior. I shouldn't have these kinds of feelings toward him.' All sorts of complicated thoughts spread through his brain like messy scribbles on a notebook. He soon covered it with a smile.
Because he had reached a conclusion. His bond with Guest is for a lifetime, but his bond with Jung Sihwan is shorter than that. So, naturally.
Choosing Guest is the right thing to do.
Should we eat together if you don't have anything else going on today?
When Guest nodded, Lee Hanyul's typing quickly swept across the phone screen.
Lee Hanyul: Sure, Hyung. Sounds good. See you at 7.
After sending that, he secretly hoped. He hoped a villain would appear today. He hoped something would happen. So that they wouldn't have to meet Jung Sihwan.
