Kang’s gaze, which was staring at the period at the end of the sentence, began to move again.
“……Dream entity?”
A strange word flowed from her slightly open lips. She began to read the book again slowly.
“They are beings that survive by consuming the fear and terror humans feel when they have nightmares.
Is there a being that makes humans have nightmares and survives by consuming the fear and terror they feel?
It was a ridiculous story, but it didn’t seem absurdly unreasonable to Kang.
Unless it was a wicked trick, it was rare for a human to have a nightmare every day like me.
She stared at the front cover of the book as if bewitched.
Author unknown.
The name of the publisher was also unfamiliar.
It was then, when she was opening the last page of the book to get more definite information about the book.
“Isn’t that Seo Kang?”
Her movement to turn the pages stopped at the faint voice coming from afar.
“It seems right?”
“Shall we go?”
My God. This time it was real.
Feeling the approaching presence, Kang hurriedly put the book she was reading back in its place, and then she rushed out of the bookstore.
It was because it was still an unfamiliar situation to face fans in reality.
Of course, it is possible that this situation will never become familiar in the future.
But until the moment she started the motorcycle, the words she read from the book did not leave her mind.
In the end, she didn’t go far and returned to the bookstore, but the book had already disappeared.
.
.
.
When she returned home, she searched online for the book she had seen in the bookstore.
But no matter how thoroughly she searched, she couldn’t find any information about the book.
In the end, she decided to call the bookstore she had visited directly.
“Hello. There is a book I saw in the bookstore earlier, but I can’t search for it online.”
Yes. What book is it?
“It’s a book called ‘About the Dream You Don’t Know’.”
She delivered the title precisely.
However, all she got in response to a request to wait for a moment was that there was no such book.
Thinking that she might have read the title wrong, she tried changing the characters slightly, but it was the same.
“It’s strange. The title is definitely right……”
She felt as if she was enchanted by something.
The cell phone she was holding vibrated. It was a message from Sam Yeong.
She was on her way to the grocery store, and she said she would stop by for a moment on her way in.
She was probably coming to stock up the empty fridge.
Receiving management of a certain part of her personal life, including her schedule, was part of the task Director Hwang assigned to Sam Yeong.
She once fell at home due to fatigue accumulated from not eating and sleeping.
If she hadn’t been found by Sam Yeong in time then……
Anyway, this was a new policy of the company since that day.
Director Hwang had called it a kind of ‘management’ provided for the company’s affiliated artists, but it was closer to ‘surveillance’. If it hadn’t been for Sam Young, she would have rejected it long ago.
Kang’s gaze turned towards the clock on the wall.
She thought she should tidy up the house before Sam Young arrived.
There were bottles and cans of fatigue recovery drinks full of caffeine and coffee piled up like a heap on the desk and the island table in the kitchen.
It was obvious that Sam Young would be surprised if he saw the considerable amount she had eaten in the last three days.
She quickly put all the garbage into the basket. She was then in the middle of diligently recycling after emptying the contents.
Ding Dong
“Is he here already?”
Kang, who had been crouching, sprung up and headed for the entrance.
So far, the only guest she had ever had in her house was Sam Young. He was also the only one with an extra card that could enter the apartment.
So she naturally thought it would be him and opened the door,
“He arrived early…..”
The person standing outside was not him.
“Do you like cake?”
Her eyes widened.
Why was Han San here?
He, dressed in light cream knitwear and black slacks, held up a white bakery box.
Kang closed the door immediately.
Bang!
San, still holding the box, was abruptly left on the doorstep.
A moment of silence passed with just a door between them.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds.
The door opened again exactly 3 seconds later.
She couldn’t erase the awkward expression and clumsily opened her mouth.
“I’m sorry. I was so startled that I didn’t know what to do.”
“It’s alright.”
As she saw him react as if it was not a big deal, Kang asked again,
“But why are you here……?”
“I moved upstairs.”
Han San’s outstretched index finger pointed to the ceiling.
“What?”
“I moved, upstairs.”
He delivered the same answer again, only changing the order, as she silently looked at him.
“They say you usually share rice cakes on moving day.”
“……”
“There’s only a bakery nearby.”
Kang looked like she thought she had misheard.
Seeing her slightly narrowed brows, San laughed softly.
“Why? Is it strange that a mere bodyguard lives in the same apartment as a top star?”
“That’s not it….”
Although she said that, it really didn’t make sense logically.
Where is a company that offers a luxury apartment in Seoul’s expensive plot of land as a residence for a bodyguard?
As if he read such a question from her, he opened his mouth.
“The accident that happened a few months ago.”
Her body froze momentarily at the concise and hefty sentence.
“”I heard that you were so shocked that you couldn’t even step outside your house for a while.”
“……”
“It must have been tough.”
Jae Oh quietly offered words of comfort.
Kang was trying to collect her rattled thoughts.
“So you’re saying…you moved here because of me?”
“Director Hwang and I seemed to agree more than I expected. He’s very understanding.”
In South Korea, he had hired the most expensive bodyguard, so if he wanted to ensure effectiveness, close protection was inevitable.
“That’s right. You have to be close by to come running whenever you’re called.”
He added, lifting and lowering his shoulders lightly.
But having heard Jae Oh’s story, Kang was even more puzzled by the situation.
Would miserly Director Hwang have provided such a luxurious home as a residence for a bodyguard?
It didn’t make any sense.
Even Sam Young, who had been by her side for nearly ten years, was still living in a rooftop room, even if Director Hwang had generously taken care of his closest confidant, he should have taken care of Sam Young first.
“Here. Take it.”
Jae Oh once again offered the cake.
She, who had been staring blankly at the box, turned her gaze back to him.
This man.
Just how had he managed to twist Director Hwang around his finger?
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
