Ilhwa Tavern.

This is the most Korean-looking pub in Yongin International Village.

This place is so serious about its concept that all the employees wear hanbok.

Thanks to this, tourists visiting the International Village must visit the Korean-style Ilhwa Izakaya and the Japanese-style Hikata Hotel.

So Anna and the enemy are Hikata.

Jisoo and I were put in charge of the Ilhwa Bar.

“This is the Korean Folk Village…”

Is it because the weather has gotten darker?

Before we knew it, soft lights began to come on in the folk village streets called Jejatgeori.

Most people on the streets are wearing traditional clothing, except for tourists.

Their colorful, indigenous costumes catch my eye.

“ and…”

Especially the appearance of warriors wearing black clothing and swords.

Even as a man, I find the attire of Joseon swordsmen to be quite cool.

Their footsteps also head towards Ilhwa, the bar where we are trying to get a job undercover.

Thanks to that, I was able to leisurely follow them into the store while admiring their wonderful appearance.

Pass through the magnificent wooden gate.

Then, a spacious yard filled with moonlight unfolds.

The yard is surrounded by beautiful pavilions.

The pavilion is already filled with tourists enjoying drinks and food.

In one of those seats, the swordsmen who had been staring at me just a moment ago sat down.

“Sihoya.”

“Yes, yes…?”

While I was blankly watching the swordsmen, my older sister called me.

As I turn my head to follow her, I see the madam who appears to be the owner of the tavern.

Indeed, the madam is dressed in a beautiful hanbok like a beautiful gisaeng from Joseon.

“Are you from Ilsim?”

“Yes, I was assigned to go undercover today.”

My sister put her arm around my shoulder and said.

The woman smiled at the sight and greeted him elegantly.

“I’m Madam Seol-hee from Il-hwa. Of course, it’s a pseudonym. ”

“I heard that since you’re an undercover, you have to look like our staff as much as possible.”

“So, please follow our store’s rules and dress code.”

She motions for us to follow her.

I happened to end up going into the brothel of Ilhwa Tavern with my older sister.

As you step inside, a faint, hazy floral scent rises.

I sniffed the scent.

“Okay, while you’re working here, you must use a historical drama tone when speaking to guests.”

“Historical drama tone…?”

We all made dumb faces.

So, in that moment, Madam’s gaze changed.

With the appearance of a very sharp and serious kisaeng house owner.

“It’s you. I heard you’re new at the brothel today.”

“Yes…?”

“Originally, I would have to receive training for several weeks, but I can’t help it now because we are short on personnel.”

She starts acting like a real Korean, carrying a backpack on her back.

He held the fan and lightly tapped our shoulders.

“After the class, you have no choice but to throw it in right away.”

Madame claps her hands lightly.

So, all the clerks who had been waiting outside come into the brothel at once.

Of course, they are not parasites, but part-time workers.

They are all dressed in beautiful fusion hanbok.

But, I found that sight rather unsettling.

Because it means I have to wear the same clothes as them.

“Uh, Uh… Parasite?”

“Oh, call me the lord of the room.”

“Should I wear a hanbok like that too?”

The lord tilted his head to my question.

It’s almost as if he’s saying, ‘Are you even asking a question right now?’

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Can’t I wear something like that too…?”

I mustered up my courage and carefully raised my finger.

And he points to the swordsmen sitting in the pavilion beyond the window.

“Which swordsman would dare serve in a brothel?”

What could possibly go wrong…

I wanted to say.

But before I could say that, two part-time workers had already arrived behind me.

Wait, this situation… feels familiar.

I get goosebumps all over my body.

It’s scary because somehow bad memories keep coming back to me.

“Sihoya, this will be fun, right?”

My older sister just smiled brightly, unaware of my feelings.

It’s as if she’s always wanted to wear hanbok.

Of course, I really want to see my sister in hanbok.

It’ll be really… really, really beautiful.

But that doesn’t mean I want to wear it too!

“You’re clearly not even a teenager yet.”

If you say bannyeon, you mean a twenty year old who is just an adult?

Who do you think is the baby…

“I’m twenty-two this year?”

Several parasites, including Ark, look puzzled at my answer.

“You can tell at a glance that he still has that boyish look…”

The ark mutters and stares down at me.

Then, suddenly, he observed my body line and nodded.

“How strange… How strange.”

In particular, she alternates between looking at the fox ears on my head and my chest.

Then finally, his gaze stopped at the pelvis.

“You give off an unusual vibe at such a young age.”

“Yes…?”

“The rice cake has been decided. Your concept.”

Madame’s eyes sparkle.

Then two clerks tapped me on the shoulder and motioned for me to follow them.

“Okay, just a moment. What about Jisoo?”

“This child is over the age of 60, so he will be dressed up separately. You should follow them.”

The part-timers force me to get up.

I was so shocked by the feeling that I stood up and said.

“I’ll follow you. I don’t like being dragged around…”

“See you later, Siho!”

Compared to my anxious self, my sister’s expression looks happy.

It was as if I was experiencing Hanbok.

“Yes…”

Yeah… Is there anything to think bad about?

If you think about it, what kind of black uniform is this for a body like mine?

Let’s just think of it as experiencing a woman’s hanbok.

I followed them into the room.

The clerks opened the huge wardrobe as if they were looking at something.

And there…

It contained a variety of fancy clothes and accessories.

Goblin horns, fake eyes, animal tails, etc…

Wait a minute, there are a lot of weird things mixed in there too…?

“I…Can I choose from here and wear it?”

“No. We will dress you up according to the concept the CEO has decided on.”

Compared to Ark, who is serious about playing parasite, the clerks seem normal.

His speech is modern and his face is kind.

“What is the concept?”

“You’ll know when you try it on.”

Soon I could sense their madness from the answers they gave me.

Because they were all sincere to the concept, just like Madame.

“Excuse me… Why are you trying to take off my clothes?”

“What is that accessory? Where on earth are you going to put it?”

He asked the approaching clerks urgently.

But their eyes were already captivated by my fox ears.

“Just stay still and we’ll take care of it.”

“That’s right, I’m sure it’ll suit you well…”

Your eyes are already tasteless!

I tried to run away somehow.

But, their grasp had already engulfed my body.

「—.」

“It’s definitely pretty.”

Madame Bangjoo nods her head with satisfaction.

Jisoo observed her face with a hand mirror.

An elegant and beautiful face.

And long brown hair with the bangs neatly combed back.

Anyone can see that she is a daughter of a noble family who is full of marriageable energy.

“I think you’re more suited to be a nobleman’s child than a parasite.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Jisoo stood up with all her might from the veranda.

Thanks to this, her beautiful navy blue skirt and white top stand out clearly.

“The poem is a bit late…?”

“That child will take some time to put on makeup.”

“I see…”

It’s makeup… so I have high expectations?

Since she is such an attractive child, I am definitely curious to see her wearing a hanbok.

That kid has this strange aura about him that makes him seem like he can charm people even when he’s still.

Jisoo soon tried hard to deny the thought she had had.

And while the poem is coming out, I decided to serve first and take care of my stomach.

From the calm and careful feet of a magpie.

Make sure that your body does not shake at all when you lift the tray.

“Here’s your order!”

Men in black uniforms shout in loud voices.

Then, Jisoo cautiously walks to the pavilion and takes the order.

“Galbijjim and… Cheongju…”

She writes the menu on the paper she received in advance.

Even the pens are wooden, which is fitting for the most popular pub in the folk village.

As I was writing down the menu, I suddenly felt a gaze on me.

Jisoo glances up to check the source of the gaze.

They were men wearing black uniforms.

They were secretly keeping an eye on the pretty Jisoo among the tavern parasites.

At those eyes, Jisoo smiled and got up.

And I tried to go back holding the menu I received.

but…

“Please accept this too.”

Several men who want to take orders from Jisoo.

They all waved at her.

Jisoo is flustered by the simultaneous calls.

For her, the madam smiled and took the men’s orders on her behalf.

“I’ll get it myself. What would you like me to do?”

“Oh, that’s… We’d like to take orders from someone else…”

“Being able to place orders directly with the Ark is a ‘great benefit’, Your Majesty.”

Fortunately, the skilled clerks moved together to ease Jisoo’s burden.

Thanks to that, Jisoo was able to let go of his worries.

That’s how the undercover infiltration began.

She was moving busily when suddenly she stopped walking.

Steam was rising from the braised ribs she was holding, but she paid no attention.

Because… even the women, including the men, had their eyes fixed on one person.

Soon, Jisoo also turned her head to follow that gaze.

and…

You will see a woman wearing a white dress.

Black hair neatly braided to one side.

A fox-like fur pattern is drawn on the ball.

Fox ears prickled up tensely, as if they were nervous.

And even the tail shyly sticking out from behind the skirt.

It was me dressed up as a gumiho.

“Haa…”

He leaned against the pillar of the Hanok with one arm wrapped shyly around his neck.

Her long braided hair has now reached down to her chest.

I was trying to show off my cool black uniform in front of my older sister…

What the heck is this…

He stared blankly into space with his eyes half-closed.

“Sihoya!”

My older sister, who doesn’t even know my feelings, approaches me.

She asked in a surprised voice, wondering if I was curious about her appearance.

“Is this a nine-tailed fox concept?”

“Yeah… Well, that’s right…”

Jisoo circled around me as if she was curious.

Then suddenly she discovers a silver ball of fur sticking out from under her skirt.

“The fox ears were originally there… and the thing sticking out below is a tail?”

“Yes…”

“You’re cute.”

She kneels and looks down under my skirt.

And I tried to touch the silver tail with my fingers.

He looks like a curious and reckless child.

“How did you put this on…”

Jisoo muttered without realizing it and then covered her mouth with the back of her hand.

I soon realized why she had covered my mouth, and my face turned red.

She hurriedly swept down her skirt and turned around.

“This, this is just detachable? What the hell are you thinking!”

“I didn’t think much of it! Really…”

She blushed like me, as if she understood what I meant.

And he waved his hands like crazy and barely managed to reassure me.

Maybe it was because I was too embarrassed.

She grabbed the strings of the top covering her chest and wiggled around.

“Isn’t that funny? It’s not some fantasy…”

“No, it’s so pretty. I almost fell for it too?”

My fox ears perk up at the mention of almost being possessed.

I covered my ears with both hands to hide the sight.

“Ho, Holy crap!”

“Let’s hurry up and get to work! We didn’t come here to experience wearing hanbok…”

I hurried over to her.

I hurriedly grabbed the menu to take my order.

“It’s okay, there are a lot of clerks here so there’s not much for us to do.”

Jisoo tried to calmly reassure me.

But as soon as I step out into the yard, the guests start shouting so loudly that those words pale in comparison.

“Here, order!”

“Us too!”

“Hey, Miss Fox, do it!”

Now they are naming it openly.

I was so confused by the sight that I lost my mind.

First, go to the place you called and take your order.

Then I fell over because of my awkward clothes and it was chaos.

“Ugh…”

Sister Jisoo only calls men.

Why is everyone calling me…!

I sobbed in sorrow.

Oh my… why is this skirt so clingy…
