Sunjin POV

        >//<  Yes! I said our mate! As in our lover! The one we are destined to spend our lives with! Okay?!

         I'm sorry, it's just it's very embarrassing to talk about because that spot is rather............ sensitive for gumihos. That is why....... >//<

        I guess you are a bit confused now. For gumihos, the only person allowed to touch us in this spot is our mate. No one else would even be allowed near it. If they tried, we would instinctively react and protect that spot. So, for me to even allow him to do that meant he was my....... mate??? >//<

        With each stroke, my mind began to get fuzzier and fuzzier. This human was my mate??? Is this even possible???

        Suddenly, his father began shouting "Myung-dae! What the hell are you doing? Don't you realize that she is a fox? She is only going to kill you once she has been cured!"

        I don't know why, but I turned to face his father, glared at him and screamed "I would never kill him!" Then I passed out again.

Myung-dae POV

        Wow, I never thought I'd see anyone other than myself talk back to my father. I really do like her. I looked at my father and could see the confusion written all over his face.

        "You see father, she isn't like the other foxes. She is kind and gentle. Please help her" I implored.

        My father looked at me and begrudgingly said "Put her back on the table."

        I laid her back on the table and my father felt her pulse once more. "Is she going to be alright?"

        "You were right, she is poisoned."

        "Can you help her?"

        I didn't realize how tense I was until my father screamed "Will you just relax and let me work?" Then he sighed and said "She'll be fine. The poison hasn't spread too much, but she is still very sick. She is going to have to stay here for a few days in order for me to monitor her condition."

        "So, you're going to help her?"

        "Just go and prepare a room for her!" he screamed at me.

        "Yes father!" I gave him a big hug before I ran to find a good room for her.

Young-jae POV (Myung-dae's Father)

        "I can't believe that boy is so stupid!" I cursed to myself. "Why on Earth would he bring a fox home after what happened to his mother?"

        "I'm sorry."

        I was startled by the sudden sound and looked down to find that the fox had woken up. I stumbled backwards "Y...You're awake?"

        "I'm sorry" she said again. "I'll go. You don't have to worry about me. I won't cause you any trouble" she said as she tried to stand. Suddenly she began to collapse under her own weight and I instinctively reached out and caught her.

        "What you need is rest" I said.

        "I don't want to cause you any trouble. If anyone were to find out about me...."

        "I promised my son that I would help you. Besides, you said you would never kill him, right?" She nodded. "Then that is all I need to know." I helped her back onto the table "You better not break your promise, or I swear that I will hunt down each and every fox in the woods until I've killed you all."

        "I understand" she replied as she closed her eyes once more.

        I can't believe I'm trusting a fox after one killed my wife, but for some reason I think my son is right about her. She really is different from other foxes.

        "Father!" my son yelled as he entered the room. "I've found the perfect room for her!'

        "Good!" I said as I quickly walked out of the room.

        I know that I don't have anything to worry about as long as she keeps her promise, but the way she yelled at me earlier really bothers me.

        Why??? O_O

        It was just the way that she glared at me. It was like she was the one protecting him from me. Like he belonged to her. It sent shivers up my spine.
