Do you believe in Gumihos? Have your parents been so religious that you believe them and weep every night on a full moon?

Well you should.

Would  like to know on why no Gumiho's love humans?

All the rituals and fables never worked.

They would always be lurking somewhere in the corner their eyes red, bloodthirsty for a prey.

There was this Gumiho, over 600 years old, she met a boy. A young boy, 19. Who worked his way farming for money and made rituals to get rid of  spirits in people's houses.

They met.

Over time, they fell in love.

She loved humans. She was happy finally. She wanted to be human. This  was perfect.

Not so much for him,

He lied to use her for more info.

He said, if she really loved him, he would give her a kiss.

He knew, he knew. Her fox bead was hidden under her tongue.

She refused.

Until, she watched the full moon at night under a tree, wrote him a letter.

He came.

Their lips collided.

He slipped his tongue in her mouth and took her fox bead in his and dashed off.

She screamed and yelled in horror on her knees.

He ran deeper into the woods and fell on a branch. He turned around to see a goddess stepping on him.

He collided with the earth beneath him.
