A story of one night encountering a strange guest in an empty house.
A house left alone with only children, the deep sense of responsibility and camaraderie between the fox siblings.

“Take good care of your younger siblings.
And cover me with a blanket so I don't catch a cold.
“You shouldn’t open the door to strangers.”
When his parents leave home, Geum-Bul feels a sense of responsibility as the eldest child.
When it starts to rain, he searches for his younger siblings who were playing in front of the empty house, and when he finds them back home, he smiles in relief.
Then, someone is heard knocking on the door, and the youngest, Little Bang-ul, thinks it is her mother and runs after her to open the door, but she stops her younger sibling, saying that she needs to check who it is first.
Geum-ul, who saw the 'unfamiliar big guy' knocking on the door through the crack in the door, hugged her younger brother and held her breath as she locked the door with the handle.
The relationship between brothers is realistically revealed in the way the three siblings, Geumbangul, Eunbangul, and Sogeunbangul, deal with a guest knocking on the door on a rainy night.
From Geumgangul, who tries to take good care of her younger siblings while not forgetting her parents' instructions, to Eunbangul, who takes care of the younger sibling in the middle but is scared, to Sobangul, who is still young and wild, author Hwang Seon-mi symbolically leads the story with short dialogues and concise descriptions, set in a small space in the house where only the children are left.


- Warm heart and courage to face strangers and fearful situations

The big guy who was knocking on the door is gone, but the little girl starts to whine sleepily.
Little Drop needs a blanket to sleep, but he left it in the empty house where he played during the day.
Geum-Bul goes to an empty house to get a blanket, but when he encounters the strange large creature again in the empty house, he runs away in fear.
But the little bell won't stop crying, and the golden bell is so cold and scared that her teeth are chattering, but she goes to the empty house through the dark night and rain to get a blanket.


Geumgangul hesitated.

'Yeah, the little drop is just sleepy.
It's not that I'm sick!'

Geum-Bul hesitates in fear, but decides not to take the blanket when he sees the strange large creature lying there groaning under the blanket of a small bell.
Instead, they bring dry firewood and warm tea and push it into the empty house.
During these three trips back and forth between home, Geum-Bul experiences a transformation from a simple fear to a sense of responsibility that overcomes fear, and a warm heart that cares for the sick.
Additionally, the tension builds as Geum-Bul's emotions intensify as he moves between the two houses, providing dramatic fun and emotion until the identity of the unfamiliar figure is revealed.


- A fox's landscape that seems to exist somewhere, another picture that stimulates the imagination

The painting begins with a scene of a small fox standing in a field covered in gathering dark clouds, and as the story progresses, it zooms in on the character and shows only the landscape, visually enriching the story's development.
The contrast between the fox's house, expressed in warm yellow, and the outside scenery, expressed in dark, rainy night blue, makes the tension and fear of Geum-Bul facing 'Dang-Chi' feel even more dramatic.

The densely packed painting with meticulous touches is truly admirable.
The sight of a field that seems to be somewhere out there, a hillside house where a fox lives, the feeling of the wind blowing through the grass, raindrops falling on leaves, and the lovely sight of the fox siblings with their rough fur are all carefully expressed in each and every cut with a high degree of perfection.
