San, carefully stealing glances at Kang’s eyes, hugged her again, whispering softly while burying his face in her shoulder, “Let’s go home.”
“…”
“To the place where only the two of us can be.”
As Seol-seong had said, San’s injuries looked serious. Although there were only minor external injuries and he looked pale, it could be seen that he had completely lost his combat power. Naturally, due to the limitations of hospital treatment, he chose to be discharged the next afternoon.
On the way back home in the car sent by Hwang Representative, along with San. On the unusually fair face, Kang couldn’t take her eyes off him.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I’m recovering, albeit slowly.”
San said so to reassure her. In reality, it wasn’t a complete lie, but the poison of the sleep herb, which harms Mongma, would make the accumulated dream energy escape from his body. No, it was still steadily leaking out.
At this rate, he could never protect Kang. The opponents he had to fight were not only Jane and Shin-hwi but also the king behind them. When San arrived home, he grabbed his clothes and came to Kang’s house with her.
Riding in the car sent by Representative Hwang, San and Kang returned home together. Kang couldn’t take her eyes off his face, which seemed unusually paler.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I’m recovering, albeit slowly.”
San said so to reassure her. In reality, it wasn’t a complete lie, but the poison of the sleep herb, which harms Mongma, would make the accumulated dream energy escape from his body. No, it was still steadily leaking out.
At this rate, he could never protect Kang. The opponents he had to fight were not only Jane and Shin-hwi but also the king behind them. When San arrived home, he grabbed his clothes and came to Kang’s house with her.
They didn’t know when the sky door would open, but until then, they planned to stay together. As the sun set and night fell, Romi appeared through the window.
“Master. Seolseong-nim has been brought.”
With her words, Seolseong soon appeared. She silently examined San’s condition, sighed softly, and said, “If it hadn’t been a dream of a human you ate, you would have died.”
Seolseong’s mention of a dream referred to Kang’s nightmare. San, who knew it well, nodded quietly.
“Agreed.”
“Yeah. The changes happening in your body, you would know best.”
After saying that, she turned her gaze to the bright moon in the sky through the open window. Cold wind blew in through the open window.
“The sky door will open at midnight in the time of this place. Since the leader of the country is making the antidote, you should be able to return quickly once you arrive.” She looked at both of them and said gently, “So don’t worry too much.”
“…”
“The Celestials will do whatever it takes to protect you.”
San knew better than anyone that they were also acting to get what they wanted.
But Seolseong’s voice, flowing low and steadily, was very gentle, bringing comfort to their hearts.
They could now leave her with peace of mind. There were many who would protect Kang.
That alone was enough.
So, for the first time in his life, he felt grateful to a Celestial, excluding his mother.
At that moment.
More than half of the people who had been hospitalized had regained consciousness, and most of them were discharged without significant aftereffects.
The remaining people were a few filming staff, including Director Seong, and one supporting actor.
And Samyoung.
He woke up in a tightly packed 6-person room that resembled an ant’s nest.
“Ugh…”
Samyoung groaned, pushing up his stiff eyelids.
However, his vision was blurry, and his whole body felt heavy, as if he had been beaten.
In fact, he hadn’t completely lost consciousness, and memories of being brought to the hospital came back sporadically.
So, he was aware of the current situation to some extent.
Bubbling sounds.
The mixed noise echoed as if heard underwater.
After a while, the sound became clearer.
“Youngest, turn on number 9. It’s time for your daughter Eunyoung’s turn.”
“Yes, Director.”
After a while, the sound became clearer.
“Youngest, turn on number 9. It’s time for your daughter Eunyoung’s turn.”
“Yes, Director.”
At the urging of the eldest among them, an eighty-year-old lady, Kim, stood up and took the most spacious spot against the wall. Walking like a snail to fetch the remote control, Kim, with cloudy eyes, glanced at the awakened Samyoung and muttered, “This guy needs to wake up so I can escape the role of the youngest; he never thought of opening his eyes.”
Then, Park, lying on the adjacent bed, spoke, “Try putting your finger under the tip of his nose; you’ll know.”
“Is that so?”
“Check if he’s breathing or not.”
“I didn’t think of that method.”
Upon his words, Kim, who was approaching with slow steps, changed direction.
Unaware, Samyoung involuntarily held his breath.
“Hey? Did he just open his eyes?”
Observing Samyoung with sharp eyes, the unnaturally clear-sighted Kim brought two fingers like dry logs under his nose.
Samyoung unknowingly stopped breathing.
“It’s strange.”
“What is?”
“He’s not breathing.”
“Then call Nurse Kim. We need to quickly dispose of the corpse.”
Embarrassed, Samyoung began to breathe thinly again.
“Stay still. Looks like he’s breathing again.”
“But still, call Nurse Kim. If you poke him with a syringe under the armpit, you’ll know.”
While Samyoung was shamefully catching his breath again, Kim, who had heard the sound, left the room in a hurry to call Nurse Kim.
“Youngest, turn on number 9.”
“Yes, Director.”
Responding to the repeated requests of the eldest, Park, whose birthday was a fortnight earlier than Kim’s, turned on the drama with the remote control.
As soon as the screen changed, the harsh lines of dialogue from the sensational drama struck their eardrums.
“I feel like I’m going to die if I don’t get my mind together.”
Unable to endure any longer, Samyoung groaned again, turning his head naturally.
“Ugh…”
As the hazy vision cleared, someone was visible, bathed in light like a halo, peeling an apple.
“Woken up?”
It was Representative Hwang.
“Oh, s**t.”
A curse slipped out involuntarily due to the surprise.
Representative Hwang’s expression turned stern.
“What did you just say?”
“I didn’t say anything. Anyway… What are you doing there, Representative?”
“Don’t you see? I’m peeling an apple.”
…Peeling an apple? Is she giving it to me? What’s going on with that human?
While having such thoughts, Representative Hwang, with hands like a pot lid, laboriously bit into the apple she had just peeled.
Crunch, crunch.
As she chewed the apple, juice dripped down from under her jaw like a waterfall.
“What are you looking at? Is it the first time you’ve seen a representative eating an apple?”
“Ah…”
“Just kidding, man.”
Laughing heartily, she extended a plastic bag full of apple peels toward Samyoung.
“Here, have some.”
“…”
“Eat it since the nutrition is supposed to be more in the peel.”
Damn. If that’s the case.
Despite the inner thoughts filled with various curses, Samyoung, who had a relieved expression, looked at Representative Hwang. In the end, with a detached expression, he took the plastic bag.
“Quickly eat.”
“…”
“I said eat?”
“…”
But somehow, he remained impassive.
Under normal circumstances, he would have grinned like an easy target, saying he would gratefully eat it.
However, Representative Hwang’s voice, which had become uncomfortable, turned sharp.
“Look at this? Hey, are you making up your mind to annoy me right now?”
Without fail, Samyoung, who had lifted his head while quietly watching him, opened his mouth.
“Representative.”
“What!”
“The weather is really nice today, isn’t it?”
“What nonsense. Can’t you see it’s muddy from the rain?”
So.
It’s a perfect day to bury someone without anyone noticing.
A small smile appeared on Samyoung’s lips.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
