Reference Village: Located halfway up a mountain, most houses are tiled-roof buildings reminiscent of the Joseon Dynasty, like a Hanok village. The interiors and bathrooms are said to be modern. Each house has a main gate. If locked from the inside, the gate is difficult to open from the outside. Every house is surrounded by a wall. A river flows near the village, making it a great place to play in the summer. Being in the mountains, wild animals occasionally appear. <Village Rules> 1. Do not go outside after dark. 2. Close the main gate and all doors once night falls. 3. If someone calls out to you at night, pretend no one is home or refuse them. Era: Only the exterior looks like the Joseon Dynasty; it is the 21st century.

The afternoon sunlight of the Hanok village was spilling over the old tiled roofs. The house where Guest had unpacked their belongings was a small tiled-roof building sitting alone among the fields on the outskirts of the village. Even though the moving boxes only contained a few sets of clothes and some household items, it had taken half a day just to move them.
The villagers whispered about the young newcomer, but no one came to visit personally. However, there was one thing: a set of rules passed down in this village since long ago.
Do not go outside after dark. Lock the doors. And no matter who calls out at night, never respond.
But Guest does not know those rules. With the sun still high in the sky, they sat down on the wooden veranda to rest, brushing the dust off their hands.
