Hae Joo’s hands clenched the collar of Do Jun’s tshirt. Even after waking up from the dream, Hae Joo couldn’t shake off the moment she almost slipped from the railing on the 7th floor.
“I’m scared.”
Her heart was pounding violently.
Her chest ached and felt heavy, so Hae Joo closed her eyes tightly.
Tears welled up stupidly.
It was just a dream about an event that happened years ago, but why was she still like this?
She believed that she was different from that time, but she wasn’t.
When she was suddenly thrown into the hell she had forgotten, her limbs were paralyzed as if seized by convulsions.
“Calm down.”
Only then did Hae Joo realize the strong arms that held her.
Her body, which had slipped off the bed, was nestled against Do Jun.
She clung to him as if she had lost her soul.
Trying with all her might to escape from the swamp of death, she still couldn’t distinguish between dreams and reality.
Even in a private space, not in front of a camera, Hae Joo had become a child.
“I’m right here.”
“Ha, ha!”
The situation from the dream and the current moment overlapped strangely.
The familiar arms and scent awakened Hae Joo’s consciousness.
A belated embarrassment swept over her. Due to the lingering emotions in her chest, she couldn’t calm down easily.
Then, Hae Joo managed to lift a trembling hand.
“I’m okay… let go.”
“Not yet.”
Do Jun’s arms tightened around Hae Joo even more.
It didn’t hurt. His heartbeat, felt from his chest, was strong enough to reach Hae Joo.
Hae Joo’s lips pressed between his shoulder and neck. Her pale, plump flesh began to warm from the body heat Do Jun possessed.
“I had a dream. I almost fell from the rooftop railing…”
Why now?
Why did she have such a dream on the first night she slept at Do Jun’s house? It was inexplicable.
She thought she had completely forgotten, but she hadn’t. The hell that was revived in her dream stretched out its tentacles and tried to swallow Hae Joo.
She could only explain it as becoming more sensitive.
“Wait!”
Hae Joo, who had been sobbing without any reason, suddenly widened her eyes.
A scene she had momentarily forgotten unfolded in her mind.
At that time, Hae Joo was in a state of confusion due to a headache and dizziness.
She remembered someone catching her when she was swaying in the wind on the railing she had somehow climbed.
If they had been even 0.1 seconds late, Hae Joo would have fallen and gotten into an accident.
“Could it be…”
“You survived. Are you calmed down?”
The man who saved Hae Joo in her dream also existed in reality.
His actions were so similar to the man in her dream that it felt like Do Jun had seen her dream.
A shiver ran up from the tips of Hae Joo’s toes due to the strange sensation.
As if breathing life back into a dead body, warmth returned to her stiff body along with a weak convulsion.
“Did you ask me if I remember Do Jun?”
Do Jun’s calm gaze flowed into Hae Joo.
His embrace seemed to attempt to heal the wounds that had been ripped open by painful memories, further adhering to her delicate figure.
“I dreamt of a man who looked like you.”
Her face, wet with sweat, looked pitiful.
Only after laying Hae Joo on the bed did a sigh of relief escape from him.
“Was it you, perhaps?”
“……”
“Are you saying that the person who caught me when I almost fell off the roof railing was Mr. Do Jun?”
The desperate look in the eyes of the stranger she’d seen through her blurred vision came to mind at last.
Short hair, attractively tanned skin, and sharp eyes with inner double eyelids…
“Yes.”
There was determination in his deep, unemotional gaze.
Even though his style had changed, what remained the same was his embrace, which he opened without conditions.
At that time, Hae Joo had fallen for the man who saved her. She had fainted while looking faintly at the existence that had saved her.
When she opened her eyes again, she was in a hospital. Next to her, Kyung Ae was explaining something to the police.
“Was it really Mr. Do Jun?”
According to what she’d heard, a young man had carried her here.
He prepaid Hae Joo’s hospital bills and disappeared as soon as Kyung Ae arrived.
Due to the circumstances, she couldn’t even thank him.
For Hae Joo, that moment was so painful that she had been focusing on forgetting it ever since.
“But like I said, as long as you didn’t die, it’s fine.”
Her eyes heated up belatedly.
How to explain this situation that felt like being spellbound by willo’thewisp?
The husband she thought was dead appeared and kept lifting Hae Joo and putting her down. Despite the overnight change into a living situation, he kept his indifferent attitude. Hae Joo felt resentment towards whatever he did.
However, Do Jun’s grip, which clung to Hae Joo even without any attachments to the world, was so powerful like this.
The day she saw in her dream was like a hellish inferno for Hae Joo. The fact that the person she wished to remain in her memories to forget turned out to be Do Jun.
She should thank him now, but she couldn’t open her mouth.
