Tale of The Nine Tailed: The Gumiho's Lover

07

Lee Rang, from a distance and unseen. More likely invisible...

His pupils never left the sight of his brother sitting patiently inside a car, probably waiting for his girlfriend to be off-work.

Shortly after that, his bored face turned into somewhat a giddy expression as a known figure approaches the car. Lee Yeon immediately gets out and opens the car door for Ji Ah with a wide smile.

The next act totally makes Rang to be caught off guard when those two showed their affection towards each other shamelessly, as they kiss while hugging.

"Aish... Talk about reason why I hate being close with lovers." He muttered under his breath - almost cussing, while massaging his pair of innocent eyes.

Despite how he looks on the outside, Lee Rang never gets 'intimate' with a woman nor a female fox even once in his 600 years of living. If he flirts with a human, then it must be only because of one main reason. To get the liver.

Hard to believe, yet it's the truth he never wanted anybody to know including his own brother. Because he is certain that if Yeon ever knows, that toothpaste flavor crazed will never stop making fun of him for the next hundred of years. Same case with the bed-wetting incident in his childhood.

In the end, all that matters to him at this moment is that his brother was able to return safely - with the same overall appearance. Although Yeon didn't turn out to be ugly as he wished in the last video message he left for him.

Lee Rang puts a smile on his face as he watches the two slowly goes away with the car after fastening their seat belts on.

"I can't say this to you personally... But welcome back, Lee Yeon."

Lee Yeon's POV

"How was your day?"

"Umm... Nothing special, just like usually."

"Haha, I bet you're hungry. Let's eat out today."

"Sure!"

Exactly, this is the best feeling !

Even if I have become a human, I still feel grateful of everything especially with Ji Ah by my side.

Now, I swear to never let her go for as long as I live in this world.

"Hyung..."

All of a sudden, I heard a faint voice in my ear which made me to step on the car brake immediately and caused it coming to a screeching halt.

"Gosh! Yeon, is there something wrong?"

"O-oh? Nothing... I just kind of heard something."

"Do you know what was it exactly?"

I could've just said that it was Rang's voice because I know it for sure, but I don't want to make her worry about this.

"Sorry babe, please don't let this concern you. Now that I'm a human, I easily get affected. Actually I watched a horror movie while waiting for you so..."

"For real, Yeon? But as long as it's nothing serious then."

Ji Ah laughs it off as she is finally at ease after hearing the lamest excuse of mine.

Forgive me, Ji Ah... But I need to get to the bottom of this first.

During the next few hours of daytime left, Lee Rang spent his time alone at Han River.
