She stood motionless in the wide hallway for a while, alone.
“Good night.”
The face of San, who just laughed at the crazy talk that it was okay even if he wasn’t human, spun around like an afterimage.
He probably didn’t want to reveal it, but,
“The truth always comes to light.”
At least, as long as San was involved with her, it would be revealed.
Whether that was his identity. Or the complex relationship intertwined between us.
Kang slowly withdrew her gaze and turned away.
The footsteps on the marble floor echoed heavily and gradually faded.
As the door lock was released and the heavy door opened, a silence as big as the house greeted her.
But it wasn’t too bad for today.
Because her body, from which the deepseated fatigue that wouldn’t go away no matter what, felt very light.

“I don’t think I’ve slept for even 30 minutes, but I feel so refreshed.”
Kang, recalling the events of the day, massaged her now softer shoulders.
Realizing anew how important the quality of sleep was, she felt like enjoying a leisurely bath after a long time.
She filled the bathtub with warm water, into which she had put a lot of bath salts.
A strong rose scent spread in the bathroom filled with abundant bubbles.
Her relaxed body felt like it would melt and disappear like cotton candy falling into water any moment.
Kang, enjoying her fatigue, picked up her cell phone that was on the holder.
While aimlessly browsing the internet, she suddenly remembered a book she saw in a bookstore a while ago.
“About the Dreams You Don’t Know”
Although it was clearly imprinted in her memory, that book left no traces anywhere.
With a perhapsitisthere heart, Kang searched the title of the book again.

But,
“Huh?”
A posting that didn’t come up at the time suddenly appeared.
It was a format that directly copied the title, “About the Dreams You Don’t Know”.
She clicked on the title as if she were drawn to it.
The start was very plain. No, it was bland.
A post without even common greetings, small emoticons, or stickers.
The neat and tidy writing style somehow felt a bit stiff.
Scrolling down a bit more, there was a photo that seemed to be taken directly from a part of the book.
What is a mongma? It is a creature that feeds on the fear and terror humans feel when they have nightmares. They were born deep underground since the beginning, and have always coexisted with humans.
Kang focused all her nerves and read the words, embedding each one into her eyes.

Furthermore, the celestial beings were in charge of human birth and death, all positive and negative emotions experienced by humans, and all human dreams (including good dreams, nightmares, predictive dreams, and prenatal dreams). They existed to help humans live as humans.
In this sense, the nightmare of the celestial being and the nightmare of the dream demon were distinctly different realms. Though the dream seeds might be similar, their purposes were entirely different because those who planted them were different.
The verbose and abstract theories written in the book were quickly organized in her mind.
In other words, there were entities involved with dreams, and they were divided into two groups.
The entity that makes humans have nightmares and feeds on the fear felt at the moment of the nightmare was the ‘dream demon’.
There was another group, called the ‘celestial beings’, who also make humans dream, but simply manage the various forms of dreams that humans have, existing so that humans can live as humans.
When she looked down, there was a brief description at the end with a small asterisk indicating that celestial beings were god’s messengers who took care of the heavens.
Something vague in her mind seemed to be sorting itself out like a puzzle.
She didn’t think all this was a ridiculous fiction.
She was already experiencing countless inexplicable events, and above all, the day of the accident 20 years ago.
The voice she had encountered at the end of death was so clear.

“You’re going to be tormented by horrible nightmares every night. Do you still want to live?”
“Fine. I’ll buy you 20 years. Please, endure until then, and don’t die.”
The voice of the woman, so tender that it brought tears to her eyes, and the low, slow voice of the man, somewhat chilly.
It wasn’t a dream, nor was she hallucinating.
She was living stubbornly for 20 years, having nightmares every night, just as the woman had said, just as the man had said.
And the time of 20 years that he said he would grant.
At the end of that, she miraculously met Han Jae Oh.
So how could all of this be a coincidence.
The phone screen turned off as she was deep in thought for quite some time.
When she lit up the screen, it was the standby screen, not the internet window.
With a hopeful heart, she opened the internet window again and searched, but the post she had just seen had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never been there.
It was just like when she first discovered the book.

She wasn’t even surprised anymore at these inexplicable events happening one after another.
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
