02 Gumiho's Chaos

For the umpteenth time Lee Myeong sighed heavily after he returned to the upper world. The female Gumiho felt sad because she only had one day to spend in the human world. She wants to go back there, but when ahe asks Seung Ho for permission, the God forbids her from going again.

"But I really want to go there again," Lee Myeong murmured.

"Is that how you want to go to the human world again?"

Lee Myeong turned her attention to the source of the sound, Seung Ho. When she found out who asked, she turned her eyes back. She's upset with Seung Ho.

A sigh comes out of Seung Ho's nose after seeing Lee Myeong's attitude of throwing his face away like that. "Okay, you can go back there. After all, you can stay in the human world after a hundred years and if you want."

Lee Myeong is instantly excited after hearing Seung Ho's speech. A big smile even adorned her beautiful face.

"Is that true? Can I live in the human world?" ask Lee Myeong to make sure.

"Yes, you can stay there," Seung Ho replied, making Lee Myeong's smile widen. He could only shake his head at the drastic change in Lee Myeong's attitude.

"Then I'll come down now."

"Not today!" prevent Seung Ho when Lee Myeong will prepare to leave. "Wait a few more days"

"All right."

The current sunny weather is inversely proportional to Yi Seok's cloudy look. The man was on a quest to find Lee Myeong, but he did not find her during the three days of searching. He had even painted a sketch of Lee Myeong's face to ask people, but no one knew who the beautiful female figure was.

He sighed heavily because he couldn't find Lee Myeong's whereabouts anywhere. "After all, I have to find you," he murmured as he returned to search for Lee Myeong's whereabouts.

Meanwhile at the other corner of the street, Lee Myeong has returned to the human world. She looked happy on her way around. Different from yesterday where she could only play one day in the human world, this time she will settle in the human world. During her stay in the human world, Seung Ho prepares a house for her to live in.

Just like yesterday, the men who crossed paths with her remained fascinated by her beauty. Even this time there were several men who dared to ask her to get acquainted, but Lee Myeong did not respond at all. The woman's Gumiho gave a slight smile when she saw the peach tree in the front yard of a house.

Lee Myeong ran a little to immediately enter her house that looked so neat and clean. However, because of too excited gumiho woman again collided with a man. This time he almost fell behind her if the man did not hold his body. For a while the two people looked at each other, even Lee Myeong's heart was beating rapidly at this moment.

A smile flashed on the man's face, which was none other than Kang Yi Seok. He looks very happy because he managed to find Lee Myeong's whereabouts. "Finally we meet, Miss," he said, making Lee Myeong raise one eyebrow in disbelief.

"Ah, sorry for bumping into you and thank you for helping me," Lee Myeong said after she got back on his feet. "But, what did you mean by that? Have we met before?"

Yi Seok nodded his head steadily. "We met a few days ago. At that time we collided as well and then you just left after apologizing," he explained.

Lee Myeong was silent for a moment, she tried to remember the incident that Yi Seok had intended. "Ah, it turns out you were the one I hit that time," she said after remembering the incident. "I apologize once again for bumping into you that time and just walk away."

"You don't need to apologize for that," Yi Seok said with a faint smile rising on his handsome face.

For a moment Lee Myeong was fascinated by Yi Seok's good looks while smiling like that. Her heart, which had previously started beating normally, was now racing again. She didn't expect to feel something like this.

"Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"Yi Seok asked dissolving Lee Myeong's daydream.

The Gumiho immediately shook her head. "Nothing, absolutely nothing, " she replied.

"That's how it looks. I think there's something on my face," Yi Seok said. " By the way," Yi Seok paused for a moment because he wanted to ask the name of the woman in front of him, but it wouldn't be polite to ask the name directly at their first meeting.

"What is it?" asked Lee Myeong who felt curious.

"Sorry if I was being presumptuous. But may I know your name?"

"Lee Myeong, my name is Lee Myeong," Lee Myeong replied with a smile on his face. "What's your name, if I may know it?"

Yi Seok, who finally knew Lee Myeong's name, smiled with satisfaction, even in his heart he was cheering. "My Name Is Yi Seok, Kang Yi Seok. Nice to meet you, Lee Myeong-ssi."

"Me too, am pleased to meet you, Kang Yi Seok-ssi."

"Seung Ho!"

Seung Ho is shocked when Yoo Ra-The Goddess of romance-comes to his room with anger all over his face. The goddess approaches Seung Ho who has regained his composure.

"Why did you come here with that angry face?" Seung Ho asked curiously.

"You ask what is it?" answer Yoo Ra with her question again. "You know what? Because you allowed the gumiho you were guarding to descend into the human world, many of the households I had painstakingly built were destroyed! She has already seduced many married men!"

"Then, what do you want?" ask Seung Ho calmly. He honestly didn't know that Lee Myeong was flirting with married men, he had never seen the gumiho flirting with them. However, he doesn't want to have a long argument with Yoo Ra who has a bad temper if she's angry.

"What do I want? Of course you have to bring Lee Myeong back here, I will punish her!" replied Yoo Ra who after that turned around to leave.

"If you want that, you should ask the Great God, not me," Seung Ho says, making Yoo Ra stop and turn back to face him.

"Alright, I will ask His Majesty to bring Lee Myeong back here and I will execute the punishment for her!"

Seung Ho sighs heavily after Yoo Ra completely leaves his room. He shook his head because of Yoo Ra's attitude like that. "It doesn't really reflect the figure of a God."

The sound of birds chirping made Lee Myeong open his eyes while stretching his muscles. Today exactly two weeks he lived in the human world and lived like a human. During these two weeks his days are accompanied by Yi Seok, who sometimes comes to visit him with various kinds of delicious food. He was very happy to be able to live in the human world.

"Wait, can I marry a human too?" thought Lee Myeong who has now changed his position to sit down.

"Damn woman! You get out!"

The sound of yelling outside made Lee Myeong's attention diverted. The female Gumiho got up from her seat and walked towards the door. She opened the door to see the situation outside. Her eyebrows were raised as she saw the noble women standing in front of her house. She wondered why they came to her house, moreover, the look on their faces was clearly not at all friendly. Lee Myeong finally got out of his house. When he was outside the house, an egg floated and hit his body.

"How dare you tempt my husband!" said one of the woman.

Lee Myeong frowned when she heard the baseless accusation, moreover, she also did not know who the husband of the woman was.

"Why are you flirting with our husband?"asking the other woman further confused Lee Myeong.

"I know you have a pretty face, but should you flirt with a married man?"

"Wait a minute!"said Lee Myeong who finally opened his voice. "What do you mean, Madam? I'm flirting with your husband all?"

"Yes! You've seduced our husbands! And destroy the homes we've lived in for decades!"

Lee Myeong chuckled at the woman's explanation. If you look at it, those noble ladies are all aged which means their husbands are aged as well. If she wants to flirt with a man, then she will flirt with a handsome young man, not an old man who is about to die.

"Madam, I apologize in advance. But, if I want to flirt with a man, I will choose a young man instead of your husband all of whom must be old," Lee Myeong replied.

"What did you say?"

The noblewomen were already bleeding and finally approached Lee Myeong. They all beat up the gumiho by grabbing, scratching, and even beating Lee Myeong's body. Actually Lee Myeong could have fought them with the ability he had, but it would make him in big trouble until he finally chose to surrender to be beaten.

"Stop!"

That low voice made the noble women who were venting emotions at Lee Myeong finally stop. They all turned around and found Kang Yi Seok's figure standing in the doorway with a face that looked very unfriendly.
