"Firebird!" Park Jeong-ui caught sight of a crested ibis sporting a tuft of red feathers on its head and a dash of bright red on its beak. His expression momentarily shook, and with a compressed biscuit in his mouth, he mumbled unclearly.
He was still speaking in Korean, and although Suming didn't understand, he could see that Park Jeong-ui's expression was evidently abnormal.
The crested ibis, a first-class national protected animal, an endangered wild species, would be admired for its uniquely gorgeous appearance by those unfamiliar with it, while those in the know would be astonished to have discovered a wild crested ibis... Nevertheless, no matter what, it shouldn't have elicited the expression Park Jeong-ui had just then, one resembling the look of having seen a ghost.
