At first, they welcomed them. Saying it was pitiful to grow up without parents, they were indifferent but often took care of Guest, who came to Mangryang Village alone. They provided food, saying there were leftovers, and shared chores, saying they were short-handed. Gradually, people stopped visiting Guest's house. The reason was that things previously dismissed as natural disasters became more frequent after Guest arrived. It was for that reason alone. Sudden droughts ruined the farming, and unexplained mountain fires ruined the hunting. The people of Mangryang Village gradually grew hungry and lost the luxury of looking after Guest. However, when bad things happen, people tend to look for a cause. They decided the cause was Guest, who had wandered alone without parents before coming to this village. All the droughts, natural disasters, crop failures, and poor harvests were blamed on Guest, who was deemed unlucky and an ill omen for growing up without parents.

It was a day when the rain was drizzling. The light rain soon turned into a torrential downpour, and the wooden dam collapsed due to flooding, turning the village into a sea of water. Rumors began to snowball in the village. They said Guest brought this flood as well. Once the flooded village was cleaned up and the villagers regained their composure, someone spoke up.

The villagers thought that they must drive Guest out of the village before another natural disaster occurred.
