Thoughts of a world where monsters no longer had to kill each other, where they could coexist with humans in peace and convenience, reminded San of the creature’s last words.
Perhaps it was due to taking human form and blending in with humans for too long, but more so, he just thought that the creature was rather unusual.
His gaze shifted slightly to the side.
The stoic-looking Kwon Suk Hee was seen breaking down in tears.
“Tea… Teacher!”
“Teacher! Snap out of it! Someone, help!”
Humans around her rushed to support her.
San observed this scene for a long time.
The rain became even more intense.
Even amidst the overwhelming rain, his troubled thoughts persisted.
After the funeral,
Kang suffered from a severe fever.
Probably, the unexpected farewell had stressed her out, affecting her health.
Director Hwang, worried about her health, halted all his schedules, encouraging Kang to focus on her recovery.
It was essential. With an upcoming project and lined-up advertisements, any setback now could jeopardize Kang’s hard-won comeback. Her health was the priority.
“Kang, get up. Let’s try to have some medicine.”
Sam Young remained by Kang’s side as she struggled to regain her strength post-hospitalization.
San, from a distance, simply observed the two.
He had many thoughts.
Discovering the truth might offer him a chance to acquire a more splendid dream, but on the other hand, knowing that the monster she knew was out to exploit her dreams might plunge Seo Kang into unimaginable despair.
If she’s already this distressed over losing the human Yeong Hee, how would she feel once she learned of the creature’s true nature?
Could she withstand it?
With these thoughts, it became hard to voice anything.
“Whew. The fever is starting to subside.”
Sam Young checked the thermometer and heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, preparing to leave, he made several requests to San.
“San, I have to head home. Can you look after Kang while I’m gone?”
“I will.”
“I’ve left some porridge in the pot. Just add a bit of water and heat it up when she eats. And ensure she takes her medicine on time, okay?”
“Yes.”
“If there’s any issue, take her to the hospital or contact me.”
“Don’t worry.”
After he left,
San took advantage of Kang’s delirium from the fever to absorb her nightmares, erasing the markings and memories on her body.
Although Kang was somewhat weakened from the high fever, her face became much calmer than when she was with Sam Young.
She did have a nightmare, but I made sure she couldn’t see or remember it.
And after a night of suffering, she finally opened her eyes.
Kang looked over at San, who was beside her, and slowly opened her lips.
“Were you by my side the whole time?”
“Yes.”
“How was my nightmare?”
“…….”
Watching him withhold words, she wrapped her trembling shoulders.
“I can’t remember anything from the dream… but my body hurts so much.”
“It’s probably because you’re exhausted.”
San, who had been lightly patting Kang’s shoulder, stood up and spoke.
“You should eat something before taking medicine. I’ll warm up the porridge for you.”
However, as he reached out, she grabbed his fingers.
Looking down, he saw Kang’s pale face.
“You know, San…”
“…….”
“Do you think maybe Director Gam was also a monster?”
San just stared silently at her in response.
He didn’t speak the truth as he usually did, nor did he lie and deny it.
With that, Kang gave a weak smile and spoke again.
“Well, if that were the case, you would’ve told me first.”
“…….”
“Just… I suddenly thought it might be possible… and it scared me. If it were true, it would be so horrifying.”
She closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them to speak her heart out.
“Or I thought maybe you were withholding the truth, worrying it might be too hard for me.”
“Monsters don’t have benevolence.”
“…….”
“If, as you said, it would’ve been truly horrifying for you, I would’ve told you with pleasure.”
“So, you might’ve wished for that, which means you could’ve also lied.”
After all, monsters wish for human misery.
And you’re a monster too.
At Kang’s continued words, he fell silent for a moment before responding.
“You’re right. I never thought of that.”
“…….”
“I should’ve lied and said Director Gam was indeed a monster.”
San quietly laughed.
Monsters don’t have benevolence.
If they do, it’s a hybrid.
So this situation was merely a reaffirmation of my hybrid nature from birth.
But he chose to believe that his decision was for the better outcome.
Because the current Seo Kang seemed as fragile as glass, ready to break any moment.
It was best to keep her nightmares at bay.
The truth remained hidden.
San hoped that the 485 human-like deaths would be a beautiful farewell he could offer her.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
