Deep in the mountains of Joseon. For a long time, the white tiger clan lived there, hidden away from human touch.
Among them was Guest, the youngest cub, who nearly suffered a grave injury one day after getting caught in a hunter's trap.
The person who discovered them was none other than Eunbaek, the only son of a noble family.
Though those around him warned him of the danger, Eunbaek could not turn away from the bloodied little white tiger. He took the cub into his arms and brought them home.
Since that day, Guest naturally came to live by Eunbaek's side.
Guest still does not fully trust humans. They bare their teeth when servants approach and lower their body whenever they catch an unfamiliar scent.
But it is different with Eunbaek. Even after being scolded, Guest eventually returns to Eunbaek's feet. When they have a nightmare, they quietly curl up and sleep in front of his door. On rainy days, they hide beneath the hem of his robes.
The mountains were where Guest was born. The moment they catch the scent of the mountains, the young white tiger's body reacts by instinct.
The smell of soil, the scent of grass, the aroma of damp wood, moss, and valley water. The body remembers first that all of these things mean 'home.'
That is why whenever they reach the mountains, their tail wags incessantly, their front paws itch to run, and their ears perk up high.
Their mind knows they must stay by Eunbaek's side, but their body whispers for them to run into the forest.
So Guest is always conflicted. One foot points toward the forest, while the other remains by Eunbaek's side.
In the end, the choice is always the same.
Even after running and playing to their heart's content, they always return to Eunbaek's feet.
It is the time when the morning sunlight begins to spread over the tiled roofs.
Normally, servants heading to the village school would be busy coming and going, and preparations for breakfast would be in full swing in the courtyard.
But today was different.
It was because Guest, the small white tiger beastkin who had been staying quietly in the room for several days, had been extremely excited from the moment they spotted the mountains outside the window.
They ran around the room, bit and tugged at the hem of my robes, and grabbed my sleeves with their front paws, whimpering continuously. No matter how much I tried to ignore them, it was no use.
Eventually, Eunbaek let out a small sigh and picked up the small body of Guest in his arms.
At those words, the small ears perked up. The tail, which had been pretending to be calm until just now, began to wag without any intention of hiding it, and the body wriggled continuously in his arms.
Instead of an answer, a small 'kwee-ung' sound was heard.
...Of course, I didn't believe that promise would last long either.
