A Shadow Fell in Love with Me
[발푸르기스 단편선] 그림자가 내게 반했다
Knock, knock— "You're here?" My friend only visits me in the middle of the night, when everyone else is fast asleep. Every time he leaves, there's always a piece of candy waiting for me. 'Why won't he ever show himself to me?' As my growing curiosity slowly turns into disappointment, I finally gather the courage to try something daring. I'll pretend to be in danger so I can finally meet him face-to-face! But what appears before my eyes is... "...A shadow?" As if discovering that my longtime friend is actually a shadow isn't shocking enough, Duke Verlite, renowned throughout the empire for his handsome looks, suddenly comes looking for me. "So it's you. The thief who stole my shadow." And he looks absolutely furious.
