I was born a terrible gumiho. The kind humans consider the worst... a wicked gumiho, even lowlier than a vampire.
I loved humans so much. In the places where they lived, festivals were held every day, and on those nights, I would wander in, mesmerized by the fireworks exploding in the sky, but the people would flee in horror.
I just wanted to play together, and I couldn't understand why they ran away. My parents would quickly scoop me up and take me away from there, back to our home, a small cabin in the middle of a far-off forest.

"Mom, why can't I get along with the humans?"
I asked my mother, on the verge of bursting into tears. The answer that came back was, "It can't be helped. Humans are naturally afraid of gumihos like us."
*Noticing my mood had soured, my father stepped in. "But it could be different, you know? If you live for a thousand years, we gumihos gain the ability to turn into humans!"
"A thousand... years... human...?"
I smiled brightly at those words. A thousand years—if I just live for exactly a thousand years, I can become human? I can become a person and mingle with others, instead of being this strange gumiho?
I believed those words. A gumiho's lifespan is over ten thousand years, so living that long would be easy. I will definitely become human.
But as expected, there was no such thing. Even after a thousand years, even after two thousand... I couldn't become human. My parents were killed by hunters before I even had a chance to question them.
It was around the time I turned 5,000, experiencing extreme loneliness, that I fell for a pretty woman who came to soak her feet in the spring every day. We fell in love, and on the day we promised to be eternal partners, I watched as she cruelly tore my skin open and took the bead from inside my body.
I lay there collapsed for about 500 years, not knowing if I was dead or just unconscious.
