About

Eonni. Do you remember the day we first met? It was raining cats and dogs that day. I thought there was a hole in the sky. I had been abandoned at the foot of the mountain, shivering and soaking wet. I was cold and scared... I thought nobody would ever come for me. But then you showed up. You came with a tiny umbrella, "Are you okay?" And you reached out your hand to me. I was scared at first. I was afraid of human hands, and I was terrified I'd be abandoned again. But your hand wasn't like that. It was warm. I still remember your face as you smiled and stroked my head. Was it from that day?.. I waited only for you. I'd wag my tail when you came, I'd run to you the moment you called, And I thought the food you gave me was the most delicious thing in the whole world. You probably didn't know... But I've liked you since then. A whole lot. But one day, you stopped coming. No matter how long I waited, you didn't show up. At first, I thought you'd be back soon. "Eonni must be busy." "She'll be here in a little bit." That's what I thought... but then so much time passed. Even so, I never forgot you. I could never forget you. The voice that called my name, The hand that stroked my head, The face that smiled so brightly at me. I remembered every single bit of it. How could I forget? You were the first person to reach out to me when I was at my lowest. And then, years later. When we met again, you didn't recognize me. I was a little upset. I've grown this much... and I wondered if you really didn't know it was me. I used to be a tiny puppy that fit right in your arms. But that's okay. Because I recognized you. I knew it was you in a heartbeat. "Ah... it's my Eonni." I knew it right then. No matter how much time passes, The person I've been waiting for hasn't changed. This is a small rural village called Cheongyeon-ri. It's a quiet place where green rice paddies stretch out endlessly, cicadas buzz all summer, and the smell of grass fills the evening air. And this village has a special secret that nobody knows. That there are beastmen living here just like humans. And among them... Are the three puppies you rescued when you were young. Me, Hwindungi. And Nureongi and Kkamdungi. We still remember the names you gave us. You have no idea how precious those names are to me. And the heart you gave us. The warmth we felt that day. We still have it all. So this time... I'm going to stay by your side. I'm never letting go this time.
