Reluctantly leaving, Romi glanced back at Shin-hwi.
His eyes were calm, and his slightly playful smile was no different from usual.
Yang Shin-hwi.
What are you really thinking?
Meanwhile.
Everyone who had taken sleeping pills and collapsed was admitted to a few hospitals, torn and hospitalized.
Fortunately, San ended up in the same hospital, and after a certain amount of time had passed, Kang left the ward as Romi had informed him.
It was said that a barrier of a thousand meters was set up to make it easy for them to move while avoiding people, but there was no apparent change in Kang’s eyes as a human.
Nurses, who took turns working night shifts, were sitting at their desks, each focused on their tasks.
Kang moved very cautiously, just in case, but it seemed that her movements were not visible to their eyes.
Using the emergency stairs, she soon found San’s ward.
His location was the last room at the end of the corridor.
Knock-knock[—]
When she knocked, a voice of an unfamiliar woman could be heard from inside.
“Come in.”
It was an elegant and weighty tone.
She was probably a celestial guarding San.
One of the beds in his two-person ward was empty, and Seol-seong was sleeping by San’s side on the side near the window.
Although she had heard stories, it was the first time she had met her in person.
Uncertain of how to greet her, Kang performed a light bow and said, “Nice to meet you. I’m Seokgang.”
In response, Seol-seong replied with a graceful smile, “I am Seol-seong.”
“You’re a celestial, right? I heard from Romi.”
The slightly smiling woman responded after a brief delay, “I’ve heard a lot about you too. It’s fascinating to have a conversation with a human for the first time.”
After exchanging such light greetings, Seol-seong gestured slightly to the side, making way for Kang.
“Excuse me then.”
Kang immediately went to check on San’s condition.
It was the first time she had seen him asleep.
The scene was beautiful but unfamiliar, and her emotions felt strange, a mix of discomfort and anxiety.
Carefully, she brushed away the hair that fell on San’s forehead and asked Seol-seong, “When will he wake up?”
“The effect of the sleeping potion lasts about half a day per root. I don’t know how much he took, but if it wasn’t too much, he should wake up soon.”
“Thank goodness…”
“But regardless of waking up, to Montas, sleeping potions are as good as poison. Even if he wakes up, he’ll likely need an antidote due to the extensive internal injuries.”
It wasn’t fortunate at all.
Kang’s face, shocked by the news like a bolt from the blue, darkened rapidly.
“Can we get the antidote?”
“It’s in heaven. The child probably won’t leave your side, but persuade him to go up as soon as he wakes up. We’ll have to get the antidote.”
With those words, Seol-seong prepared to leave.
“The Imperial Commander will soon mobilize the Royal Guards and come down. With the child’s disciple present, you should watch over him a bit.”
“Where are you going?”
“I also have someone I need to watch over.”
Her expression as she said this carried a somewhat bitter smile.
Who else might be injured in this fight?
Or perhaps, is she trying to return to heaven?
Kang quietly greeted her, thinking that she wouldn’t understand even if she asked for an answer.
“There is another celestial near the hospital. So, there shouldn’t be much to worry about, but absolutely never go outside the hospital alone.”
“Yes, I understand.”
With repeated earnest requests to take good care of San, Seol-seong soon disappeared.
The ward was once again filled with a cold and lonely silence.
Kang approached San and gently held his hand as he slept. It was cold.
She prayed fervently for San to wake up and held his hands against her cheek.
“San.”
“……. ”
“Wake up quickly. Let’s go home.”
Fear was embedded in her trembling voice.
She was terribly anxious and scared of losing San.
Fortunately, he woke up not long after.
For Montas, sleep for the Mongs was different, trapped in the unconsciousness unless it was a sleep through the door of dreams.
“Ugh…….”
With an indescribable sense of discomfort, San, furrowing his brows, immediately stood up and pulled Kang into a tight embrace as soon as he saw her.
Behind the rough breathing, his worried voice flowed out.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah.”
“No injuries?”
“Thanks to you, I’m perfectly fine.”
Although Kang responded, “You should worry about yourself more than me,” San, holding her tightly, had to make an effort to calm his pounding chest.
A belated sense of relief seemed to melt through her whole body.
Anyway, it was fortunate that he regained consciousness, but as Seol-seong mentioned, the sleeping potion was almost like poison to the Mongs, and the internal injuries were more serious than expected.
To obtain the antidote, they had to go to heaven.
“To get the antidote, we have to go to heaven.”
“Not now.”
“No.”
Interrupting him decisively, Kang pushed San away and held his face.
“We must go now. Preferably quickly.”
At this rate, they might both end up dead.
Kang might find it challenging to protect San with her own strength, but she knew well what needed to be done for him at the moment.
“So you have to go and come back soon.”
With an anxious look, San, who stared at her, sighed heavily as if his heart was heavy.
For their future, they both knew what had to be done first.
At this moment, they had no choice but to trust each other.
San, slowly raising his gaze that had fallen, spoke.
“But before that.”
“……. ”
“There’s something I must confirm with you.”
“What is it?”
As Kang asked, he covered her delicate shoulders with his hands.
He hoped it wasn’t true, but the trembling was evident at his fingertips.
Carved somewhere on Kang’s body,
“The door of dreams.”
They had to find the door of dreams without fail.
