An unwanted memory surfaced.
She had never dreamt that she would voluntarily recall this.
As if her body rejected the scene that threatened to unfold as vividly as the events of yesterday, she slowly closed and opened her eyes.
The man who was silently watching her asked,
“By any chance, that day…”
“……”
“Did that person say anything unusual?”
At the point he pointed out, as if digging into the memory, Kang’s movement halted abruptly.
At first, she thought it was pointless to discuss the past events at this point.
The investigation was already over, and the criminal was already receiving legal punishment.
However, what changed her mind was a fleeting thought that the horrific memory might somehow be connected to her dream.
Maybe San had come to her to bury that day’s events.
So, she decided she had to sincerely answer his question.
“That day….”
Struggling with her suppressed memory, she started to reluctantly spill out what happened then.
After the drama ‘The Place Where the Dawn Stayed’, where Kang played the role of ‘Mi Yeon’, became a hit, her schedule increased in proportion to her rising popularity.
Advertisements, interviews, and even a series of incoming scripts.
With the exception of variety programs, she had been so busy that she could hardly have a breather.
Then one day.
It was when she was invited to an event in the provinces.
The incident happened at a rest area where they had stopped for a break.
The culprit climbed into the driver’s seat while the manager momentarily left his place and attempted to kidnap her who was sitting in the back seat.
The van, involved in a chase with the police who had received the report, slightly hit a roadside tree before it stopped.
Until the police forcefully opened the door and dragged him out, the man had come to the back seat and strangled Kang’s neck.
It was a mere split second, but it was frightening enough to feel like an eternity.
That was when he babbled some incomprehensible words.
“You smell so delicious. So, just one bite… Please, let me have just one bite.”
“This…. Let go….!”
“Just one bite, please, okay?”
“Ugh!”
Fortunately, she was not seriously injured, but due to the mental shock, she had to stop all activities for a while.
The man caught then had no mental illness, and he was not drunk or drugged.
However, as if he were not sane, he kept babbling nonsense to the police all the way.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I just couldn’t resist your delicious smell….”
“What?”
“It was torturous.”
“……”
“Indeed. It’s cruel to smell delicious food in front of your eyes.”
“Ah, really, this person!”
The man, muttering like a lunatic, soon regained his senses and begged for mercy and clemency.
However, Director Hwang, more agitated than the party involved, issued a warning not to even dream of leniency.
Since a company’s actor was a valuable asset, it would have been no different from property destruction to the greedy man.
Moreover, it just so happened that Sam Young was absent that day due to personal circumstances.
The manager who took his place was fired, and the director unfairly blamed Sam Young, who wasn’t even there.
It was an incident where resentment had fully developed towards the director who already disliked him, and although she said it was just an accident, Sam Young had to feel guilty towards Kang, who had been victimized in his absence.
The director promptly hired a personal bodyguard for her.
It was the start of the incident where she had to watch the bodyguards leaving her side one after the other, and the reason she met San as her seventh bodyguard.
Kang, who had finished her story, seemed calm, but she wrapped her trembling shoulders without even realizing it.
San’s gaze scrutinized every little movement of hers.
“He said the smell was delicious.”
“Yes.”
The police considered his comment as sexual harassment.
And she thought the same.
It was certainly not about eating when a person said something like “I want to taste you,” or “Let me have a bite.”
The image of him still burying his nose in her neck and drooling like a mad dog is clear.
“It’s not a pleasant subject, so if there’s no more you want to hear, let’s end it here.”
At Kang’s words, he also nodded.
“I understand. I’ll keep your remarks in mind.”
“There’s nothing to keep in mind. That man is in jail now.”
She pretended to be strong.
In contrast to her honest body’s reaction, San gave a small smile at her indifferent response.
And then, as if to comfort her, he gently patted her shoulder.
“You must be tired.”
“……”
“Close your eyes.”
At his words, Kang furrowed her brows.
After having her spill out that repulsive accident, he was now telling her to sleep?
No, absolutely not.
She would rather not see that lunatic’s face in her dreams.
She had already suffered enough from him appearing in her dreams after the incident.
“It’s fine. I’ve been talking nonstop, if I fall asleep and he appears in my dreams……”
“I’ll hold your hand.”
Suddenly, the unexpected words left him dumbfounded, and he stared at the mountain.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
