Wow I love your theory! Yuho is so mysterious as right now and I want to know more about why he is serving Jaegal Lin and only Jaegal Lin. This makes me even wonder who is Jaegal Lin really isヾ(☆▽☆)
ah ni it's not just a theory but it's actually a spoiler from the novel ♀
It said that Jin Cheon-hee has given 3 things that Yuho needs, (터) Place/foundation/land, offering and faith.
Yuho unable to deny that sacred place is his personal lab which no one can enter without his permission.
Jin Cheon-hee often prepared food for Yuho, he did make food for others too but it's different from bringing the serving table to Yuho himself and even played instrument to entertain Yuho, this probably become more obvious after Yuho helped him paying the price of rewinding time.
Jaegal lin said Jin Cheon-hee often intentionally getting beaten by Yuho, beside there's a time like when he bleeds profusely and Yuho who carried him absorb the blood, it's like he's offering his blood and pain too, can this be called human sacrifice?
Then Yuho said you don't mean faith is the incomprehensible mutterings like graduate students who can't graduate right? Jaegal lin said surprisingly it's almost fanaticism, whenever he needs something he would say 'Yuho, please' like a prayer but he doesn't seem to be aware of it.
Jin Cheon-hee has tendency to name things referring to Yuho, that made the faith in the divine fox become stronger, like the fox claydoll/yuho toyong that he initially made it to be some sort of toy to tease Yuho, the first version is called potato fox due to it's unsightly appearance, then other people who saw the fox doll started making similar doll but in better looking appearance and place it in their house like some amulet, later, more people started to become a believer when the wish they said to the fox doll can be fulfilled, it's not to the point of everything is possible but small protection or some luck is guaranteed.
It's the same with refrigerator, Jin Cheon-hee named it Yuho refrigerator and engrave fox design on the door, he said people wishes at the front of refrigerator, like 'I hope the food i leave in there is still fine', surprisingly, he doesn't seem aware that he make people pray to the fox they see before opening the refrigerator, after the refrigerator become popular, Yuho is 'shining' according to Jin Cheon-hee, it seems his power grew noticeably.
Jaegal lin referred Jin Cheon Hee as the only priest of Yuho, as Yuho dislike humans, there's no way he will accept more priest but this one priest is preaching more powerfully than anyone, even though the way he preached is strange, it somehow works better than spreading holy scriptures or the like.
Apparently, the spiritual being who doesn't have a priest unable to use their full power on physical world, when Jaegal lin and Yuho goes to mosan sect who specialise in spiritual matters, the sect leader feel scared of Yuho and question if Jaegal lin is human to make someone like Yuho as servant, he then try to act brave thinking that Yuho can't use much power but Jaegal lin told him that his disciple is Yuho's priest and the sect leader immediately become servile, he thinks that something like changing the weather is possible for Yuho.
