Summary
Secrets Under the Moonlight
In a small village, siblings were fighting over the inheritance left by their deceased father. The brother was an executive of a large corporation, while the sister was a dull housewife. Despite their dissatisfaction, after their father's death, they decided to secretly meet under the moonlight to seek the only house and the land that came with it.
"Parents and moonlit nights are always good," the brother said with a smirk. Upon hearing those words, the sister understood their meaning, yet a swirling feeling of unease lingered somewhere in her heart. "The moon is bright, so I can't look directly, but no one will notice our quarrel," she reassured herself. However, at that moment, it seemed the moonlight cast a cold shadow over her dark thoughts.
The next day, the brother found a notice in the village that read, "Those who do not follow their parents' teachings will be punished." He secretly conveyed this to his sister, threatening her, "If you take my land, you will be fated to be punished for not following our parents' teachings." The sister, frightened into silence for a while, resolved internally never to forgive her brother. She decided to utilize the village's old legend to stand against him.
That night, once again under the moonlight, the siblings confronted each other. With a sinister smile, the sister said, "Parents and moonlit nights are always good, but tonight is different, brother." At that moment, she recited the legendary spell, causing roots to entangle around her brother's feet. Bathed in the moonlight, the brother lost his escape route, revealing his panic. To the villagers, all they could see was the siblings' struggle unfolding under the moonlight.
"The parents are aging, and the moon is quiet. That is why the dark desires of humanity are brought to light," whispered the village elders. As the sister's laughter was absorbed by the moonlit night, the brother became completely swallowed by its brightness. The moon quietly observed, and the teachings of their parents faded away into oblivion.
