Sun Woo in the dream was a child.
Like any other day, Sun Woo, who got into the car that came to pick him up in front of the school, was reading a book in the back seat.
“Hello, kid.”
Suddenly, a man’s voice echoed, and darkness enveloped everything.
The moment black hands extending from the darkness touched Sun Woo’s small hand, chills ran down his body.
He realized he was dreaming and tried to wake up, but his body, rigid as stone, would not move as if paralyzed.
‘Please, please go away.’
Sun Woo’s face contorted with pain. His fingertips, with nails extended, scratched harshly at the sheets. After enduring those minutes with all his might, his stiffened body gradually relaxed.
Soaked in sweat, he was finally able to escape the dream. Struggling to sit up in bed, Sun Woo took heavy breaths and opened his bedside drawer. From there, he hurriedly took out a pill and swallowed it with water.
“Haah……”
The water he swallowed in a rush ran down his throat and wet the collar of his robe.
As he calmed down a bit, Sun Woo tightly gripped the edge of the bedside table, taking deep breaths. Then he slowly sat up.
It was a nightmare that revisited him just when he thought he had forgotten it.
“I thought it had been quiet lately.”
Sun Woo entered the bathroom, removing his clothes one by one. The stream of water flowed over the head of Sun Woo, who was now completely naked.
Ever since he became unable to have physical contact, he disliked people approaching him.
As such time continued for a long period, he became comfortable and familiar with being alone, and he made an effort not to form relationships with new people.
Consequently, he particularly struggled with interpersonal relationships.
In fear of showing such awkwardness, I was in a hurry to protect myself, raising spikes around me.
Because skin contact was hard with bare hands, in the hospital where many variables exist, I always had to wear gloves. Because of that, my hands would inevitably swell with sweat.
From the time the symptoms started to improve bit by bit and I started getting used to it, even if I walked around with bare hands, I would put my hands in my pockets to avoid touching others.
A venomous snake, relentless and persistent.
A naturally emotionless expression and sharp remarks. Even if it was for my protection, those actions that looked rather arrogant, not known to others, added up to form the Yoon Sun Woo persona, built from misunderstandings.
He’s always been that kind of person.
That selfish appearance that I did not want to show, ensuring that people around me were not hurt by my straightforward words.
Hoping that they wouldn’t expect or be disappointed in me.
I kept a safe distance in all human relationships that way.
Because of that, I had a reputation in the hospital for being rigid and honest. Sun Woo did not mind that rumor.
It was comfortable not to be asked about me, not to be wondered about, not to be approached.
Sun Woo, who let out a deep sigh, tried to sleep again. He managed to fall asleep with the aid of the medication, but the nightmare did not easily let Sun Woo go.
“Kid.”
Go away! Don’t call me, don’t touch my body.
Young Sun Woo screamed and cried, desperately fending off the black hands reaching out to him. Despite the persistent, unpleasant touch that kept following him, Sun Woo tried hard to wake up from the dream.
It was then.
“It’s okay. It’s going to be okay.”
With a voice that echoed in his heart, a warm and gentle touch reached Yoon Sun Woo’s forehead.
At that moment, countless black hands reaching out from somewhere shattered in the air and turned to ash in an instant.
The body that couldn’t move as if a rock had been placed on it relaxed, allowing him to easily escape from the dream he couldn’t wake up from despite struggling.
How could this be…
Through the heavily lifted eyelids, Sun Woo recognized the owner of that voice and touch.
‘Ji Eun Jae….’
Before meeting Eun Jae, it had been like that.
Said that eating alone in a hotel was his only joy. The moment when he quietly swallowed a glass of wine alone was the happiest.
That’s what he had thought.
Time spent sitting at a table with Eun Jae, eating meals, sharing mundane stories over tea, as the quiet house began to fill with a woman’s warmth, it was frightening to even imagine what it was like before Eun Jae.
What are you exactly?
Breaks the life that has been maintained for a long time at once, seeps in as if it was its original place, and makes you crave things you have never desired.
I, too, was waiting for someone to reach out to me.
I, too, was lonely.
Enough not to want to go back to that time.
Sun Woo, as he was, lifted his body and pulled Eun Jae’s wrist, which was trying to move away from him. Surprised, Eun Jae spilled into Sun Woo’s arms and fell onto the bed together.
“What are you doing here?”
It happened in an instant. Suddenly faced with a face that seemed about to touch her, Eun Jae, who ended up sitting atop the man, faced deep, dark eyes, her cheeks flushed.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
