WHEN WE'RE YOUNG & DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER

Mornings always seemed to pass by so quickly in the capital. Blink once. The first rays of light were already breaking over the city walls. Blink twice. Shopkeepers and merchants started appearing and preparing for the day ahead.

Jae-ha was familiar with the morning routine, but it seemed funny watching it unfold before him. Through the Empress' kindness, he was exempt from work whilst he allowed his tail to grow back. Usually this meant staying in his room for the week, but he couldn't resist one more trip outside before he went back.

He dipped his toes in the water and would often follow it all the way down until he reached the city limits. There were times he wished he could follow all the way back to the sea.
But that made it sound like he hated the city. Which he didn't. He was curious about the outside but he loved his life as it was- and the people in it.
