“Does Jane approaching someone as casually as San bother me?”
Certainly, he was someone I was grateful for and cherished.
But today, her reaction wasn’t merely about concern for San.
It was a feeling closer to fear.
Her reliance on him seemed to grow stronger because without him, she felt like she couldn’t do anything. This reality frightened her.
It was as if he could leave at any moment, not entirely hers to keep.
Now, a life without you was unimaginable, but if any reason were to emerge before the day you were earnestly hoping for arrived, causing you to leave…
What would become of me left behind?
It seemed like the fear of having her heart taken away, and life being shaken to its core by change, was inevitable.
So, all these conclusions were,
“…I’m afraid I’ll become too reliant on you, that’s what scares me.”
On my life, on my heart being entirely taken away.
Because I know that time itself is another existence, and we can’t be together forever.
Right now, we’re indispensable to each other, but I also understand what we’re bound by.
Having your heart taken away by an existence you can’t be with was such a painful experience.
Exhaustion washed over her.
She had boasted about enduring for 20 years, but in reality, she had no desire to face that dreadful nightmare even for a single day.
Habits were frightening, and her body, accustomed to brief sleep, was screaming for rest right now.
“It won’t do.”
Kang got up from the sofa and went to the bathroom to splash cold water on her face.
Then, she brought scripts and books and sat on the sofa, ready to read through the night.
To erase her conscience, she needed to keep herself busy.
She had to constantly push other thoughts into her mind without a moment’s rest.
She looked at the script, read books, and then turned on the TV to watch her favorite movie.
It was a movie she liked so much that she had watched it over ten times, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she couldn’t grasp the plot.
“…I shouldn’t sleep.”
Muttering to herself as she half-collapsed on the sofa, Kang unintentionally fell asleep.
Her vision gradually faded to black.
Sudden transition…
Sudden transition…
An old merry-go-round and a full moon in the sky.
The scent of rain on the wet road and the musty smell inside the overturned car.
Even in her dreams, her senses were always sharp.
Various scenes from her familiar dream passed like a film, and before she knew it, she was trapped inside a daycare center building with flames rising.
Cough, cough!
“Sister!”
It was a familiar cry that pierced her heart.
It was Hojin.
She reached out her hand at his call, but she couldn’t see anything.
“Hojung! Where are you?”
As she took a deep breath, it felt like she would suffocate from the choking smoke that engulfed her.
Through fading consciousness, the image of Hojung’s face, bloodied and distorted by the fire, flickered.
Her burnt face came closer, distorted and mangled, almost right in front of her nose.
“Ah!”
Startled, Kang screamed, and Hojung said,
“Don’t leave me alone and go, Unni. You have to come with me.”
The nightmare was far from over.
An eerie hand emerged from behind, wrapping around her as if it would shatter all her ribs.
“Ugh…!”
In the midst of agony, a familiar voice reached her ears.
“Kang-ah.”
It was the voice of the deceased Gyamyunghui.
Her chilling voice, right next to her ear, sent shivers down her spine.
“It’s so sad that I can’t devour your dreams anymore.”
“P-please, spare me…!”
“If I knew it would end up like this, I would have just devoured you.”
“Ahh!”
“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have fallen so easily to that bastard,” she said.
She was speaking in a way that felt unfamiliar.
I couldn’t quite grasp what she was talking about.
Furthermore, even though it was a dream, the sensation of her fingernails digging into my skin felt all too real, causing discomfort.
For a brief moment, beyond my fading consciousness, San’s face appeared faintly.
“…San.”
With great effort, I managed to utter a single word, and Gyamyunghui, who was clinging to my back, spoke.
“Don’t call that bastard! The moment you do, I’ll break your neck!”
But as she drifted further away from consciousness, Kang closed her eyes and called his name with all her remaining strength.
“…Han San!!”
“AAAAH!”
Younghee’s voice, as if tearing apart, strangely transformed and scattered.
Suddenly, the dream world began to crumble, as if being sucked into a black hole.
She felt as if her entire body was being carried away by raging currents.
The immense pressure and speed made her feel like she was suffocating.
“Aaaah!”
The breath, which seemed impossible to release, burst out with a scream. Simultaneously, in the realm of reality, Kang, soaked in sweat and tears, jolted up from the couch.
A familiar scent wafted in like the dawn breeze.
“San…!”
“Yeah. I’m right here.”
San’s voice was unmistakable.
He held her tightly, as if to provide her with solace.
Then, as she quivered in his embrace, he reassured her, “It’s okay.”
She gasped, “Huu… Huk!”
“It’s okay, Kang. It’s just a dream.”
“Huu…uhk!”
In this way, Kang clung to San for a while, crying.
The nightmare she had just faced was still horrifying, and as always, after waking from a dream, fear and sorrow seemed to engulf her soul.
No matter how hard she tried to avoid it, to escape it, in the end, it was his embrace she sought.
Only he was her sanctuary.
At that moment.
Jane, who had been lying in bed, groggily got up from her disheveled state.
The dawn was breaking.
“Oh my gosh! When did the time become like this?”
She rushed to the bathroom and when she looked in the mirror, it was a sight to behold.
Her hair was a mess, and her smeared lipstick was something else.
The fiery night from last night came to mind, and the corners of her mouth curved.
“The more you think about it, the more charming it becomes…….”
When was it that he willingly came into her home, and how they played hard to get.
At the mention of showing his hidden tattoo, he had no hesitation and began tearing his clothes, causing a thrill that almost made her scream.
At that moment, if Kang hadn’t appeared, it could have been a truly memorable night.
Jane, who was regretful, sighed and lifted her head, then removed her fake eyelashes.
Afterward, she dipped a cotton pad in remover and started wiping off her heavy makeup.
She removed all the pearl-like eye makeup and the heavily applied lipstick. Then, she poured cleansing oil onto her palm and gently massaged her face.
“Next time, I must succeed.”
As she hummed a tune, she rinsed her face with lukewarm water.
Her face, free from thick makeup, appeared delicate, and Jane smiled as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.
A clear number was etched on her left cheek.
It was Jane’s real name.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
