However, he couldn’t reveal all this to Samyoung.
So, San chose silence over replying.
But Samyoung kept pressing, as if he had caught onto some big secret.
“Why aren’t you answering? Is that really the only reason?”
“…”
“Could it be… do you have romantic feelings for our Kang?”
Seeing his sly grin, San felt irritated.
“Oppa, stop it.”
Although Kang tried to intervene, San didn’t avoid Samyoung’s persistent gaze.
He changed his mind about remaining silent for Kang’s sake.
Then, with his hands on his knees, he leaned forward and looked straight into Samyoung’s eyes.
And he spoke clearly.
“Bro.”
“Yes?”
“I like Kang.”
The bombshell left Samyoung startled, his eyes wide open.
Kang was equally shocked and turned to look at San.
Taking in both their reactions, he reaffirmed,
“I really like Kang a lot.”
“I…I like Kang too.”
Samyoung, realizing the gravity of the situation, tried to rectify it, but it was already spilled milk.
“No.”
He stated firmly.
“I see her as a woman.”
The warm atmosphere in the car turned cold instantly.
“Hey, San. What are you saying… were you upset because I joked?”
“What can I do? I wasn’t joking.”
“You can’t do this among family members, can you?”
He chuckled.
“Why speak of family when we don’t even share a drop of blood?”
Thanks to that, Samyoung turned even paler.
“San, calm down. I understand now…”
“If you understand, then don’t bring up such topics in front of me.”
He warned gently, flashing his unique calm smile,
“The thought of Kang dating another man.”
“…”
“Even the mere thought feels maddening.”
Unlike Samyoung, who was left open-mouthed from shock, Kang quickly composed herself.
She appreciated San for giving Samyoung a taste of his own medicine.
Having heard all that, Samyoung surely wouldn’t dare broach the topic for a while.
…
By the time she finished shooting and returned home, it was close to midnight.
It had been a tiring day.
She laid her exhausted body on the bed.
San, sitting beside her, pointed to the script and asked,
“Do we have to work late today?”
“It’s fine. I’ve finished.”
Then, Kang naturally asked,
“Did you find someone? Someone who has even worse nightmares than mine?”
It was an awkward subject, but she was curious since it was left unresolved.
He, taking a moment, calmly shook his head.
“Not yet.”
“Did you at least eat? You must have been hungry from the extended shoot today.”
“No.”
“Right… I called you immediately after I came home, so you wouldn’t have had the time.”
“I don’t need to eat other dreams anymore. I’ve adapted.”
“Really?”
Seeing her visibly relieved face, Kang felt she might have shown too much emotion and quickly masked her feelings.
Upon seeing that, San spoke.
“It’s okay to like.”
“Hmm?”
“You always said that you were the unfortunate one, but in truth, I felt the same.”
San candidly revealed the reality that they were each other’s everything.
Without replying, Kang, who was gazing at him, reached out while lying on her side.
Then, stroking San’s hand as if to console him, she said,
“So, do you feel better now? You were upset because I told you to feed on other dreams.”
“I wasn’t upset with you, it’s just…”
“…”
“I was angry at myself.”
“At yourself? Why?”
“I don’t know.”
Actually, because I was too harsh on you when you said you were happy.
Feeling like I had robbed you of your small joy just because of one comment I made.
Perhaps I was just angry at myself for making you sad, but I couldn’t say that.
A moment of silence followed.
To ease the awkward atmosphere, San cracked a light joke.
“It seems you have another ability besides seeing nightmares.”
“What ability?”
“The ability to bewitch dream eaters.”
At his serious yet whimsical response, Kang laughed.
“I always charm people wherever I go, but strangely, it doesn’t work on you.”
“…”
“On the contrary, it feels like I’m the one being charmed.”
“You’re saying I’ve charmed you?”
“That’s why I end up doing things I’ve never done before.”
San tried to explain his feelings in a roundabout way.
The me who was never swayed by human emotions is now affected by your laughter and tears. My innate nature, which desperately craved human misery and fear, keeps trying to defy its destiny.
Kang, who was quietly listening, smiled a bit.
“It feels like I’m getting special treatment. You’re not upset, are you?”
San smiled back at her.
Today, he decided to share a story he hadn’t mentioned before.
It wasn’t that he deliberately hid it, but he thought it was a truth that didn’t need revealing.
It was about the innate secret of his existence.
