      because of standard pronunciation rules, the ㅊ in 몇일 shifts to the next syllable as ㅇ, so it's pronounced 며칠. yeah

      학교가기싫은고1The reason is that the [il] part of myeochil doesn’t come from the Chinese character 日, but from Middle Korean [myeochil]. [eul] is a pure Korean word meaning 'day'. For details, check out Hyang Mun-cheon's YouTube 'Why Is Saheul Three Days?' or the Namu Wiki article 'Myeochil'
