Kang put down her phone and scooped up the water from the tub and wet her face.
The cooled water woke her up, but the questions that had arisen after reading the article still swirled in her mind.
Han Jae Oh.
It was the presence of that man.
If anything had changed from a few hours ago,
“……Which one of the two are you?”
The question she wanted to ask about the identity of the mountain had changed a bit more specifically.
After she got out of the bathtub, she washed her body with cool water and left the bathroom.
Kang, who finished getting ready well and headed for the bed, lay down with only one small light on.
She was always scared, but she always decided to muster courage.
Everything was flowing as it should be, so the only thought left was to face everything that would soon become clear.
“Will you show up today?”
The affectionate greeting behind the muttering voice fades away.
‘Good night.’
So, she closed her eyes to the incoming sleep, entrusting her body to it.
Darkness descends all around.
Her vision flickers, and the highpressure sensation wraps around her body, starting to pull Kang into the deep sea of sleep.
Pop!
A disgusting sound, like scraping nerves, came over the wall of silence that swallowed all the light.
……Squeak.
The faint friction sound of a wheel.
Immediately followed by someone’s scream.
“Kyahh!”
The familiar and chilling sensation of sliding down the road greeted Kang.
Everything around her was upside down, breaking, shattering.
It was a memory from when she was seven, but it was still vivid.
However, not realizing it was a dream, she began to be swallowed up by fear again.
Fear surged like a tsunami.
Despair welled up to her throat and burst out with tears.
“Ugh…….”
Is anyone there?
Please help me.
Please save me.
The couple sitting side by side in the driver and passenger seat were soaked in blood and motionless.
That sight approached like the calm before a storm.
She didn’t know what horrific scene would follow, but she couldn’t even close her eyes.
Soon, the pair of eyes that had been upside down lost consciousness and turned swiftly towards Kang.
“Ahhhh!”
She screamed in extreme fear, but her body, tightly bound by the seat belt, could not budge.
“This wasn’t the plan. Our plan wasn’t like this…….”
“You were supposed to die…….”
The voices of the couple scratched her eardrums like the sound of scratching a blackboard.
Even with her eyes closed, she couldn’t avoid seeing them approaching her.
“Go away! I said disappear!”
She shouted in resistance.
That was the moment.
She felt her body being sucked in, and she felt like she was falling somewhere.
“Ahh!”
Kang, who had been screaming in despair, finally woke up from the dream.
She, who quickly sat up and looked around, got up.
Everything was exactly the same as the scenery just before falling asleep.
Every sense and cell of my body, still filled with fear, was racing.
Heavy breaths settled on my skin, soaked with sweat.
“Huh… Haa!”
Haa, Haaah.
It was a burst of relief of waking up, releasing the breath that had been held in.
However, my body still felt as heavy as if it were pinned down by scissors.
The sticky air adhering to my skin and the damp atmosphere felt a bit different than usual.
Something was off.
I had clearly woken up from a dream.
“…….”
A shiver ran down my spine momentarily.
The thought that I hadn’t fully awakened from the dream passed by.
It was a horrifying experience to have nightmares in what should be the most comfortable place.
But it soon became reality.
The nightmare wasn’t over yet.
My body, sharply alert, began to stiffen again as it returned to a tense state.
I had no idea when or where or how the fear would start.
I didn’t know whether I would suddenly be dragged by my ankles into rotten bones, creepy nails digging into my hair, the ground collapsing, or being thrown to the floor with a rough hand gripping my neck.
“……I don’t want this.”
Kang’s voice, choked with fear, trembled as it flowed out.
“……Please save me.”
I desperately pleaded, not knowing how long I could raise my voice.
Though there had never been a time when he recognized me first in the dream, her desperation soon reminded him of the man’s existence.
Around this time, the figure of him who used to appear and reach out to me was drawn.
Come here. I’ll save you.
Just don’t say it, please.
“……Help me.”
You’re supposed to appear.
Reveal yourself.
I called out desperately to the mountain, remembering the voice I always heard in my dreams.
The memory of our last meeting reminded me of the words he had given me in the elevator.
Call my name.
Because if you call me, I have no choice but to come.
Han Jae Oh, Han Jae Oh, Han Jae Oh.
The voice that couldn’t burst out was desperately circling inside my mouth.
The nightmare that had been huddled up in the silence soon continued without any warning.
Koogoogoogoo!
A huge black hole appeared in the ceiling with an earthquakelike rumble. A big, bright red eye staring at me came out of the darkness.
Kang, who covered my face, screamed.
Ahhhh!
And at the same time,
“Han Jae Oh!”
The name that dominated my nightmare scattered into thin air.
As her cry echoed, the large windows began to shatter one by one.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The exploding window shattered, making a huge cracking noise.
Waaangchangchangchang!
The house was quickly reduced to a mess, as if it had been bombarded, with fragments flying in all directions.
She screamed with her hands over her ears and her face buried in her knees due to the noise that seemed to rupture her eardrums, but even her screams were swallowed up in the tremendous roar.
And then, at some point.
“……!”
Everything stopped.
The glass fragments and utensils that had been flying through the air stopped in their tracks, suspended in midair, and time stood still.
She opened her eyes in the silence and trembled.
What was happening?
The scene, reminiscent of a war zone, was etched into her vision as if a stop button had been pressed on all the landscapes of the house.
Kang, covering her ears, stared at a single spot with wide eyes.
At the only man moving within this space and time.
He approached slowly and bent his waist, casting a long shadow over the sofa.
Feeling his familiar smile and scent calming her terrified body, she suddenly burst into tears.
“……Why.”
Barely managing to spit out a single word, Kang threw her arms around his neck.
The breath she had been holding back finally exploded out.
Her faint voice, intermittently gasping for air, trickled out.
“Why did you come now.”
San, who had been pulled along obediently, silently embraced Kang.
Then, holding her fragile body close, he gently stroked her head as if comforting a child.
Did her heart become weaker now that she had found a place to lean on?
“Why did you appear now. I wanted you so desperately.”
Tears poured out like a flood.
Regret, sorrow, sadness, and anger mixed in her tears and streamed down indiscriminately.
San silently accepted Kang’s tantrum without any reply.
When she finally found peace after a long period of crying, he slowly created some distance.
Their eyes met, and San quietly looked at Kang before calling her name tenderly.
“Kang.”
The hand wiping her wet eyes,
“Have you finished crying?”
It pierced her cold yet burning heart.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
