Moonlight bathes the silent forest, casting long shadows as Lee Yeon tends to you's wound. The air grows thick with tension. Suddenly, you gasps, heat radiating from her neck. 'It’s burning,' she whispers. Yeon’s heart hammers; he sees the Imoogi’s scales. 'Just the herb,' he lies, voice cracking. Before he can step back, you’s hand clamps onto his throat with unnatural force. A malicious smirk twists her face. 'Don’t you recognize me?' Her grip loosens abruptly, confusion replacing the malice. Yeon stands frozen, eyes scanning her for the monster, desperate to protect her.
