“It’s a curse, right?” Hyunwoo holds out his arm, pushing up the sleeve to better show the strange markings that spiderweb across his skin.

You bend over, inspecting the lines and color. “Hm,” you grasp his wrist to turn his forearm over, “A very low-grade one, if it is. Were you playing by the marsh in the forest?”

“The marsh?” Hyunwoo looks up to the ceiling trying to recall where he has been. “Oh, yes, two days ago. I was following some tracks.”

“Just as I thought.” You turn away from him to pick up a jar. Opening it, you scoop some out with your fingers and smear it over Hyunwoo’s arm. “This should help.” The lines have already begun to fade slightly, but you notice that they go farther up his arm than you originally thought. “Do the marks appear anywhere else on your body?”

Hyunwoo stiffens at your question before rubbing a hand at the back of his head. “Yeah,” he answers quietly, avoiding eye contact.

You thrust the jar towards him. “Go into the other room and rub this in wherever the marks show up. If there’s anywhere you can’t reach…” you trail off as heat rushes to your cheeks. “Um, we’ll call Minhyuk over to help.”

Hyunwoo clears his throat and stands, suddenly interested in the drying herbs hanging from the low rafters. “Okay, thanks.” He shuffles quickly into the other room and you must occupy your hands and thoughts, so you pick up some potion bottles, deciding now would be a fine time to completely reorganize your shelves.

Hyunwoo returns shortly, buttoning up his shirt. He places the empty jar down and gives you an impish grin.

“Thanks again. All the marks are fading now.”

“Good.”

“Should I be worried about getting more curses from the marsh?” The way the genuine concern widens his eyes and tilts his eyebrows is almost too cute for such a man.

You snort lightly and shake your head. “You’ve got bigger curses to worry about, wolf boy.”
