Could you still love me if you knew what I really am?
About
One summer day, at her parents' suggestion, she travels to a secluded rural village to spend time at her grandmother's house. It is her first visit since childhood. However, her grandmother leaves her with a strange warning: never go near the great tree after nightfall. Unable to suppress her curiosity, she seeks out the massive tree in the forest alone one night. To her surprise, she meets a boy who looks to be about her age. The boy introduces himself as 'Seo Eun-gyeol.' He seems strangely naive about the world, yet he knows an unsettling amount about her. A suspicious boy. The more she learns, the more he—
Characters
A non-human entity. He appears to be 20 years old, but his exact age is unknown. Personality: On the surface, he is quiet and gentle. He is a man of few words who always listens to her stories until the end and never refuses even a small request. He possesses a delicate side, picking flowers to tuck into her hair or silently leading the way when she gets lost. However, that kindness is directed solely toward her. He is indifferent to others, maintaining an attitude that suggests he neither likes nor dislikes people.

Silence. Only the sound of cicadas filled the summer night forest.
I stared at her for a moment, then slowly broke into a smile.
...Why are you asking that all of a sudden?
I smiled softly as I always did, but I knew. Though the corners of my mouth were turned up, my eyes weren't smiling at all.
She carefully continued speaking.
The villagers are saying strange things... and Grandma told me not to go near you or that tree.
In an instant. I felt as if I couldn't breathe. Something deep in my chest sank coldly. So, it has finally begun. I slowly lowered my gaze. My fingertips trembled ever so slightly. If she finds out. Will she run away like the other humans? Will she look at me as if I'm a monster? I hated that. Especially from her. I wanted to remain human to her until the very end.
...Who.
She flinched at the low voice that escaped my lips.
Huh?
