I had a dream.

It was a strange dream in which I was aware that it was a dream.

Usually, in lucid dreams, the dreamer can freely control the dream, but that wasn’t the case for me. I could only know that it was a dream.

In that dream, I was like air. I could see everyone, but others couldn’t see me. Like an invisible person.

In that state, I watched the middle school days of the Three Greats.

Their faces looked younger than now, making me guess that what I was seeing was their childhood.

There was a boy next to them who I didn’t know.

I repeated his name in my mind.

‘Jin Hae Yul.’

It was strange. I had never seen Jin Hae Yul’s face before or after the possession. But the dream very clearly showed me Jin Hae Yul’s face. Is it because I’m a possessor?

In front of me, who was puzzled, the ordinary daily life of the Three Greats, no, the Four Heavenly Kings, flowed.

Their life in middle school wasn’t much different from now.

The Four Heavenly Kings were always the center of attention.

Even then, Sung Ji Chan was confident, Ban Ha Min acted cute, and Seon Woo Jin wasn’t interested in worldly matters.

And Jin Hae Yul…….

I decided to observe him more closely.

Jin Hae Yul was a handsome man who looked kind, just like ‘^_^’.

He was an upright boy whose dream was to become a pianist.

As his long, straight fingers pressed the piano keys, a beautiful melody resounded.

Everyone liked him, and everyone wanted his attention.

There was nothing Jin Hae Yul didn’t have.

It was a truly perfect life.

But it only took a moment for cracks to form in that peaceful daily life.

It was a day like any other. Jin Hae Yul was walking with the Four Heavenly Kings as always. They were waiting for the traffic light to change to cross the crosswalk.

Finally, the green light came on, and the Four Heavenly Kings crossed the road together.

At that moment, a truck rushed towards Sung Ji Chan.

Jin Hae Yul, who noticed it first, quickly pushed Sung Ji Chan out of the way.

And…….

Screech.

Bang!

“Gasp.”

I woke up from sleep and breathed rapidly.

‘What kind of dream was that?’

My heart was pounding fast. My body reacted intensely as if I had a nightmare. No, was this really a nightmare?

‘It’s okay. Let’s calm down.’

It was just a dream.

It’s nothing.

I repeated to myself and found stability.

After coming to my senses, I suddenly felt a sense of discomfort.

‘But…… where am I?’

I looked around. An unfamiliar ceiling, unfamiliar walls, an unfamiliar bed. All the objects surrounding me were things I was seeing for the first time.

‘No. Looking again, it seems familiar……. Wait, isn’t this a hospital?’

In front of me, who was puzzled, the system suddenly appeared.

I was startled.

Only after being certain that what I saw in front of me was the system I usually knew did I open my mouth.

“Ah, you surprised me.”

What? Woke up?

Did I faint or something?

To the point of being hospitalized?

That can’t be. Considering my health condition, an event like ‘fainting from anemia’ that a frail heroine would do is impossible.

……Until I thought that, I remembered the last thing before closing my eyes.

“Ah.”

I got hit in the head.

With a club at that.

Recalling that moment made me feel terrible, and I frowned.

‘But it doesn’t hurt now?’

I touched the back of my head that was hit. I thought there would at least be a bump, but there was no pain at all, and it was perfectly fine.

“Strange…….”

Was my head that sturdy? It feels too normal.

While I was muttering to myself, the system appeared in front of me again.

Healed?

Come to think of it…….

〈It's okay even if you get hit! I'll heal you! +_+〉

It had said something like that before.

I thought it was just an empty promise, but it seems it really has a healing function. No wonder my body felt too light. There was a reason for everything. I sincerely expressed my gratitude.

"Thank you. Thanks to you, it doesn't hurt."

The system, having confirmed that I was awake, chattered a few more words and disappeared.

I got out of bed and turned on the hospital room light.

With the lights on, I could see everything at a glance. A luxurious single room. It's similar to the hospital room I saw last time when I visited Yoo Hee Na. It's probably the same hospital.

Anyway, I knew it wasn't a dangerous place, so that was enough. Only then did I feel relieved.

'What time is it now?'

It's dark outside for now. I glanced at the clock on the hospital room wall. 4 a.m. The sun won't rise for a while.

'I should sleep some more.'

I turned off the light again and lay down on the bed.

In the darkness, I stared at the ceiling with bright eyes.

'By the way, why did I have such a dream?'

Is it because I heard strange things from Choi Yu Han?

I had never seen Jin Hae Yul's face before or after the possession, but I could be certain.

The boy I saw in my dream was definitely Jin Hae Yul.

Not something my subconscious made up arbitrarily, but the 'real' Jin Hae Yul.

'Likewise…… what I saw was probably something that actually happened.'

If you ask me how I know, I can only say it's intuition.

It's amazing that I dreamed of the past of someone I've never seen before, but after possessing In-so, I didn't want to be surprised by every little thing.

The reason I had that dream is probably because I'm a possessor.

Was it the doing of In-so's god? If so, for what purpose?

'Is it like a hint for a happy ending?'

I tried to recall what I had seen in the dream again.

First, Jin Hae Yul.

'The boy whose dream was to be a pianist……right.'

Suddenly, the scene of Ban Ha Min playing the piano flashed through my mind. At that time, he had definitely said he learned from a friend.

Then could that friend have been Jin Hae Yul?

It was a story with a high possibility. Ban Ha Min has many people around him, but he doesn't call just anyone a friend. The person who taught him piano must have been a very close friend.

'If it's Jin Hae Yul, it also explains why he didn't say who taught him back then.'

The Three Greats didn't seem to like talking about Jin Hae Yul very much.

'But what was that accident at the end of the dream?'

Could it be that Jin Hae Yul died in that accident?

Being hit by such a large truck, it definitely wouldn't have ended lightly. Even if he survived, his physical condition wouldn't be the same as before.

I thought about Jin Hae Yul again. Jin Hae Yul playing the piano with a gentle smile. Jin Hae Yul happily chatting with the Three Greats.

Somehow, I felt uneasy.

'……I hope he didn't die.'

Until now, he was just someone whose name I knew, so even if he died, it only felt abstract and not real, but after seeing his face, even if it was in a dream, his existence felt vivid.

No matter if it's someone I've never met, I still don't like it when someone I know dies.

'But what happened between the Three Greats after that accident?'

I can tell there was an accident. Jin Hae Yul was hit by a truck instead of Sung Ji Chan while trying to save him, and he was probably badly hurt because of that accident. Maybe he even died.

But would the Three Greats have abandoned Jin Hae Yul because of that?

The Three Greats I know have many strange corners in various ways, but they're not the type to readily betray a friend. Rather, they would stick together in the name of 'loyalty'.

'Why did Choi Yu Han express it as 'abandoned'?'

What on earth happened between them?

'Could it be that Choi Yu Han slandered them?'

Choi Yu Han hates the Three Greats, so he may have misinterpreted their situation.

Hmm. Am I thinking too well of the Three Greats?

They say the arm bends inward. In the end, it seems I'm taking the side of the Three Greats whom I've been with. I don't know when I started looking after those kids like this.

Anyway, in my opinion, it doesn't seem like the problem occurred simply because of that accident in the dream.

If the relationship between the Three Greats and Jin Hae Yul went wrong, it's probably because of what happened after that.

Now what I have to do is find out what that incident was.

My thoughts stopped there.

'……But how do I find that out?'

The Three Greats are out of the question, and even Choi Yu Han only left meaningful words and didn't tell me in detail what had happened in the end.

'Ah, someone please tell me!'

I suddenly felt frustrated.

'I wonder if Yoo Hee Na knows what happened?'

Come to think of it, I haven't asked Yoo Hee Na about this issue so far.

Yoo Hee Na is the closest confidant of the Three Greats, so she must have directly witnessed what happened between them. The problem is whether Yoo Hee Na will readily tell me that…….

'Ah, I don't know. My head hurts. Let's just sleep for now.'

In the end, nothing was concluded today either.

Trying to think when my body was already tired made my head not work well.

It can't be helped.

I closed my eyes again.

After taking a nap like that and waking up, it was morning. Led by the nurses, I received a simple examination and met with a doctor.

'But how was I hospitalized?'

Can they hospitalize an unconscious minor without a guardian?

I thought about it for a while and then gave up. Seon Woo Jin must have used his connections. What in the world can't be done with money and connections? Moreover, this is the In-so world, so let's not expect plausibility.

Meanwhile, the doctor was surprised to see my head healed cleanly, calling it a miracle.

'Miracle……. That's right.'

What else could the existence of the system be if not a miracle?

Having nothing to say, I just laughed awkwardly, haha.

I did hear more explanations after that, but I couldn't understand what they were saying. Anyway, since the system fixed my head, there shouldn't be any problems.

I just nodded as if I roughly understood and returned to the hospital room.

And in the afternoon, when I was left alone in the hospital room, a visitor came.

"Lee Ju Eun, is your head okay?"

It was Sung Ji Chan in a hospital gown.
