That night
"thank you"
“I’m really okay, so if you’re having a hard time, come to my room.”
"huh"
“I’m going to sleep.”
"good night!"
“(Nod)”
The heroine's room
‘How stressful and difficult would it be to live like that?’
‘It must have been hard for Taehyun and Subin too..’
Yeoju sympathized with Taehyun and Soobin's situation and fell asleep while reflecting on herself.
That dawn
Taehyun having another nightmare
(in a dream)
"S-Please save me.. J-Please..“
Something was chasing Taehyun.
Taehyun was running away from something unidentified.
I was running without stopping and my stamina was running out.
‘I can’t run anymore.. It’s hard..’
At that moment, a light appeared before my eyes.
'what..?'
I saw something in the distance
"..hut..?"
There was a cabin out of nowhere
There was someone inside, and the more I ran towards them, the brighter and warmer the surroundings became.
Taehyun started running in a hurry, opened the cabin door, went in, and locked it.
"Haa..ha..ha.."
I took a moment to catch my breath and looked around.
There was a fireplace in front, framed pictures, sweet cookies, and candies.
And I heard some people laughing
As Taehyun was looking around absentmindedly, someone shook his shoulder and called his name.
"Taehyun!! Taehyun!!"
At that moment, Taehyun woke up.
Before Taehyun's eyes, the female lead was looking at him with eyes full of worry.
"uh..?"
“Are you okay?? Are you awake??”
“Oh yeah..”
“You suddenly started crying and begging me to save you. And you were sweating and shaking..”
"ah.."
"It's okay now"
"okay..?"
The heroine sat down on the floor, her legs giving out.
“I was surprised..”
“I’m sorry.. Are you okay, unnie?”
"huh.."
“..Is it because of the nightmare..?”
“Yeah... but this time it was a better nightmare.”
"uh..?"
“There is something like that.”
“Sister.. Hug me just once..”
The female protagonist hugged Taehyun.
Suddenly, tears fell from Taehyun's eyes.
"Taehyun..?"
“I-I’m sorry..”
“No, cry. You can cry more. Cry as much as you want.”
The female protagonist patted Taehyun on the back.
That morning, Taehyun was in Yeoju's arms and burst into tears he had been holding back.
