Just trying not to think of Jae Ho was already immense stress. Da Jung’s sleep quality sharply deteriorated. Since coming up to Seoul, she’d had nightmares every other night. No matter how exhaustingly she worked herself to the bone during the day, her mind grew even clearer by nightfall.

Again tonight, after tossing and turning for ages, she finally drifted off—only for the nightmare to inevitably return. Da Jung, wearing a brown checkered school uniform, ran laughing toward home, but the moment she stepped inside, the entrance vanished instantly.

‘Ah. It’s just a dream.’

The nightmare that always came without fail.

Even knowing it was a dream didn’t make the fear disappear. Tension shot up her spine, prickling to the very tips of her hair. Crimson flames erupted in the square, windowless space. She frantically pressed her hands against the walls, but they wouldn’t budge an inch.

Da Jung screamed for someone to save her. She pounded the unyielding walls until her throat tore raw, but no sound escaped her lips.

The flames roared toward her as if they were a living entity. Without mercy, they swelled around her body and began devouring her from the ankles up. Da Jung curled into a ball and wept like a wild animal.

The more she struggled, the more agonizingly she burned. Thick black smoke billowed up, blinding her completely. She wished she could just pass out. In the dream, Da Jung finally bit down hard on her tongue.

“…Save me!”

Da Jung gasped awake, jolted by the violent convulsion wracking her entire body. When she came to her senses, she found herself fallen onto the floor—apparently having thrashed about in her sleep and tumbled out of bed.

“Haa…”

Her eyes took in the spotless, tidy room—completely free of any flames. There wasn’t a single burn mark on her body. Yet she curled up anyway, certain she could still smell smoke. At that moment, she tasted a faint metallic tang in her mouth.

‘Huh…?’

With effort, Da Jung sat up, turned on the light, and looked into the mirror. Goodness—had she really tried to bite her tongue? Not quite her tongue, but there were clear bite marks on her lower lip, and blood had trickled down. She quickly grabbed a tissue and pressed it against the wound to stop the bleeding.

Glancing at the clock, it was two in the morning.

Regret With All Your Might (Completed Main Story)

Side Story 5 Side Story 4

Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman

When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…

One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.

Synopsis

During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”

Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”

With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.

Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?

He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
