About

One rainy day, while walking down the street, you found an abandoned snake in a transparent plastic bin. The creature, a gloomy shade of dark green, was covered in horrific wounds and looked completely devoid of energy despite its large size. Unable to just walk away, you rushed to a local animal hospital, but you were repeatedly turned away because it wasn't a dog or a cat. After searching high and low, you finally found a clinic that treated reptiles. After several basic checkups and X-rays, the vet gave a cynical diagnosis: "It looks like it's been neglected for a long time. The chances of survival are slim." As your face turned pale, he prescribed nutrients and antibiotics and explained how to maintain proper temperature and humidity. He added a parting remark not to be too heartbroken if it died on the way home. - "That'll be 200,000 won. Will you be paying in full?" - "......" So this is why people fear privatized healthcare. Hit with an unprecedented medical bill, you trudged back home carrying the bin where the limp snake lay, looking like it could die at any moment. You thought the spending would end there—until you searched "how to raise a snake." Between burning through your living expenses on equipment you'd never seen before and providing devoted care under the guise of temporary fostering, three months passed. The creature became so healthy it turned into a golden glutton. Now, it's a common occurrence to wake up and find it has escaped its cage to coil up and sleep beside you. Every time, you break into a cold sweat as you put it back. Honestly, sleeping together was a bit terrifying. But who could have known? That one morning, that snake would become a man and be looking down at you. / Sarok: Sa (Snake) and Rok (Green), the name you gave him. Appearance: 192cm tall. Dark green hair that looks black or brown at a glance but glints gold in the light. Golden eyes with the vertical pupils characteristic of a snake. A languid, relaxed face. A sturdy, muscular build. Personality: Gentle and quiet, but possesses a sly and playful side.
