love of earth spirit

The beginning:

In the small village of Yongin, nestled in the rolling hills of 19th-century Korea, Min-soo lived a simple life. The 19-year-old was known for his kind heart and striking features. However, the village was plagued by the cruel village minister, who delighted in torturing the villagers.

One day, while searching for wood in the nearby forest, Min-soo stumbled upon an ancient tree bound by a red thread. As he approached, he felt an unusual energy emanating from the tree. Without thinking, Min-soo touched the thread, and suddenly, an ancient earth spirit named Jin-ha was freed.

Jin-ha, over 1,000 years old, appeared as a handsome young man with long hair, dressed in traditional Korean attire. His piercing eyes sparkled with gratitude as he bowed to Min-soo.

"Thank you, young one," Jin-ha said, his voice low and soothing. "I have been bound for centuries. You have freed me."

Min-soo was both startled and fascinated by Jin-ha's sudden appearance. As they stood there, the forest surroundings seemed to come alive, and the air was filled with an otherworldly energy.

As Jin-ha's gazed at Min-soo, he couldn't help but notice the young man's endearing features. Min-soo's wide eyes and soft skin reminded Jin-ha of a cute rabbit, and he found himself drawn to the young man's innocence.

Meanwhile, Min-soo couldn't help but feel intimidated by Jin-ha's towering presence. Jin-ha's tall stature, handsome face, and piercing eyes made Min-soo's heart skip a beat. Despite feeling a bit scared, Min-soo was also captivated by Jin-ha's striking appearance.

The air was filled with an unspoken tension as the two locked eyes, each trying to process their thoughts and emotions. Jin-ha's gaze lingered on Min-soo's face, while Min-soo's eyes darted around, trying to avoid Jin-ha's intense stare.

Jin-ha's eyes sparkled as he began to tell Min-soo about his true nature. "I am an ancient earth spirit, bound to this tree for centuries. I possess powers beyond your imagination, and I can grant your deepest desires."

Min-soo's eyes widened in awe, but he couldn't shake off the feeling of fear. He had heard stories of spirits and their powers, but he never thought he'd encounter one himself.

Jin-ha noticed Min-soo's apprehension and took a step closer, his voice gentle. "Don't be afraid, Min-soo. I mean no harm. Tell me, what is it that you desire most in this world?"

Min-soo hesitated for a moment before sharing his story. "I live in a village plagued by a cruel minister. He tortures and oppresses our people, and I wish for him to be brought to justice."

Jin-ha's expression turned solemn, and he nodded. "I can help you with that. But first, let's get to know each other better. Tell me more about yourself and your life in the village."
