Chapter 1

남계촌은 대청산 기슭에 자리하고 있으며, 산 아래로는 길게 뻗은 큰 강이 흐르고 있어 남계촌이라 불린다.

대청산에서는 열여덟 열아홉 살쯤 되어 보이는 젊은 청년이 약초 바구니를 메고 약재를 찾고 있었다. 이 청년의 이름은 이대보로, 남계촌의 유일한 마을 의사였다.

"아이고..."

열심히 약초를 찾던 이대보가 갑자기 한 여자의 가벼운 신음 소리를 들었다. 그는 속으로 중얼거렸다. '설마 산속에서 여자가 그런 짓을 하고 있는 건가?'

하지만 소리가 나는 쪽으로 고개를 돌리자, 서른 살 정도 되어 보이는 여자가 자신에게서 그리 멀지 않은 곳에 넘어져 있는 것이 보였다. 그 여자는 하얀 피부에 갸름한 얼굴, 그리고 매혹적인 큰 눈이 무척이나 아름다웠다. 지금은 통증 때문에 눈살을 찌푸리고 있었는데, 그 약간의 고통스러운 표정이 그녀에게 또 다른 매력을 더해주고 있었다.

이 여자는 이대보가 아는 사람이었다. 마을 이장인 주소군의 아내로, 예쁘게 생겼을 뿐만 아니라 차림새도 세련되어, 남계촌의 소박한 차림의 여자들과 비교하면 완전히 도시 사람 같았다.

하지만 이 여자는 평소에 상당히 요염하게 보여서, 남계촌의 남자들 중 그녀를 탐내지 않는 사람이 없었다.

"계화 형수님, 어떻게 된 거예요?" 이대보는 장계화가 땅에 앉아 고통스러워하는 모습을 보고 다가갔다. 그 순간, 향기로운 냄새가 그를 감쌌다.

"대보야, 나... 나 뱀한테 물린 것 같아."

이대보가 다가오는 것을 본 장계화는 매혹적인 눈빛을 반짝이며, 붉은 입술을 살짝 깨물고 애교 있게 말했다. 정말이지, 이 여자가 입술을 깨무는 모습은 사람 마음을 설레게 했다.

뱀에 물렸다는 말을 듣자마자, 사람 구하는 것이 급선무라는 생각에 이대보는 더 이상 생각할 겨를 없이 서둘러 약초 바구니에서 몇 가지 약재를 꺼냈다. "형수님, 어디를 물렸어요? 일단 독혈을 빨아내야겠어요."

이대보는 자주 산에 약초를 캐러 다녀서, 이 대청산에 독성이 강한 뱀들이 있다는 것을 알고 있었다. 독혈을 빨리 제거하지 않으면 목숨을 잃을 수도 있었다!

장계화는 이대보가 이렇게 긴장하는 모습을 보고 눈에 거의 감지할 수 없는 미소를 흘렸다. 사실 그녀가 오늘 산에 온 것은 사람 없는 곳에서 이대보를 유혹하기 위해서였다.

그녀는 몇 년 전 마을 이장 주소군과 결혼했고, 겉으로 보기에는 화려해 보였지만, 자신의 고통은 오직 자신만 알고 있었다. 그녀의 남편은 이 몇 년 동안 몸을 망쳐놓아서, 최근 2년간 그녀와 제대로 관계를 맺지 못했다.

속담에 '서른은 늑대처럼, 마흔은 호랑이처럼, 쉰은 땅에서 흙을 빨 수 있다'고 했다.

장계화는 바로 그 '늑대' 같은 나이에 있었고, 계속해서 마을의 오이로 그 일을 대신하는 것은 견딜 수 없었다. 그래서 그녀는 마을에서 유일하게 눈에 들어오는 청년인 이대보를 떠올렸다!

그녀는 일부러 이대보를 따라 대청산에 왔고, 뱀에 물렸다는 것도 당연히 거짓말이었다.

하지만 이대보가 이렇게 긴장하는 것을 보니, 장계화는 마음속으로 더욱 이 청년과 함께 즐거운 시간을 보내고 싶어졌다.

"대보야, 그 뱀이... 그 뱀이 형수 아래를 물었어." 장계화는 평소에 매우 대담했지만, 실제로 이런 말을 할 때는 여전히 마음속으로 약간 부끄러움을 느꼈다.

이대보는 장계화의 수줍어하는 모습을 보고 잠시 멍해졌다가 곧 얼굴이 빨개졌다. 속으로는 그 뱀이 예의가 없다고 욕했다. 어떻게 여자의 그런 곳을 물 수가 있지?

하지만 사람 구하는 것이 급선무라는 생각에, 이대보는 잠시 망설이다가 결국 이를 악물고 말했다. "형수님, 치... 치마 좀 걷어주세요. 제가... 제가 먼저 독혈을 빼내고, 그 다음에 약을 발라드릴게요!"

Delicate.

And still—

Still.

The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.

Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.

I shouldn’t care.

I don’t care.

It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.

It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.

I’m not here to rescue anyone.

Especially not her.

Especially not someone like her.

She’s not my problem.

And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.
