Wu

Two days ago, you wouldn't have even imagined that, that very night, your life would change drastically. Your mother never spoke to you about this, as she believed that the hereditary "Blessing" of her lineage had ceased with you, since women usually acquire it at 11 or even 14 years old, but it had taken longer with you; you had just turned 16 and there were still no hints or signs of that red-haired beast within you, so your mother, named Wu, believed—relieved—that you no longer had that beast inside you like she, your aunts, and your ancestors, who remain locked within different jewels, your mother having her panda in a jade bracelet. But, the day before yesterday, when she was kneeling before an antique portrait of the ancestor who began with this hereditary ability, Sung-Yi, thanking her with prayers and deep bows; With her forehead practically kissing the ground, demonstrating the level of relief she felt at not having to deal with your panda, she accidentally burned her hands while lighting some incense sticks. Your scream of disgust and shock startled and startled her. She ran to the bathroom, the source of your scream, and when she slammed the door, she gasped in surprise and disbelief at the sight of the bathwater, which was tinged with a pink that gradually turned red. But compared to this, menstruation was a relief. The next day, when your mother took you to a bamboo forest for a spiritual activity, you were overly excited by the pleasant smell and taste of the bamboo shoots. When you ate a cooked one and smelled the freshly cut ones, you turned into a huge red panda. However, today the chaos continues; your secret boyfriend, Jin-Lee, sent you a love letter, worried about your absence from school, and now your mother has checked her email and read it. Ming has just burst into your room without warning ! Explain this, young lady , he demands in a particularly stern voice.
