I'm currently watching Tree of Heaven. It reminds me of A Werewolf Boy a bit.
Anyways, enjoy!

Yona's POV
Shin-ah nodded in satisfaction as he inspected the wounds on my arms and sides. "Better," he murmured.
After changing the dressings, he pointed at my back.
Numbly, I faced my back towards him and lifted my shirt. Anxiety slowly towered over me condescendingly.
The scars...
Silently, he took off the wrap, placed some salve gingerly on the wounds, and then wrapped it up with a new dressing.
Inwardly, I sighed and then put my shirt down.
"Thank you, Shin-ah," I said, flashing a small smile. I wasn't really sure what to expect. Shin-ah was Shin-ah after all. I trusted him, and I knew he has a good heart.
He dipped his head in a slight nod and then sat next to me. "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble, " I fumbled, "Because of me..."
Slowly, as if he wasn't sure what to do, Shin-ah patted my hair. "Want to go outside?"
"Oh, um, okay?" I said. What did he wanted to do?
He stood up, the bells on the side of his mask jingling quietly, and offered his hand.
Without hesitation, I took it.
Blue Moon
Darkness waited for me outside. I breathed in the cool air and looked around. The field of grass was the same as before when I was running away. Memories resurfaced: the blood, the injustice, the deceased.
It somewhat felt like a long time ago, but it's still fresh in my mind.
Walking past me, Shin-ah lifted his arms horizontally and tilted his head back, as if he was drinking in the atmosphere and the energy from the beaming moon. After a few seconds, he plopped down on the grass and stared at the sky. I was unsure what to do, so I followed his example.
My eyes widen at the sight of the sky. I had never seen so many stars, all of them twinkling mischievously. The full moon glowed steadily, soothing me with its unwavering determination.
I turned my head sideways to watch Shin-ah.
"That monster?"
I shook my head. He isn't a monster.
"Shin-ah..." I mumbled. He turned his head, his mask facing me. "Ah." I called his name unconsciously. This is embarrassing.
However, before I made up something to say, he suddenly stood up, and looked over the horizon.
"What's wrong Shin-ah?" I got up and tried to find what he was looking at. I saw nothing in the distance.
"Bandits," he whispered.
