(19)Dreams Come True_2[배진영]


It was that man.

Appears in my dreams every day.


나
"Ah... yes... please take care of me too."

The man nodded and then returned to his seat.

Looking at the pile of papers on my desk, I sighed.

The moment you start doing paperwork.

Someone tapped my shoulder.



배진영
"You..."


나
"Me?"

He nodded and said.


배진영
"Haven't we met somewhere?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he grabbed my wrist and led me out into the hallway.

It was a scene I had seen many times somewhere.

widely-


나
"What are you doing?"


The man stared at me intently and raised his large hand.

It was exactly like a dream.

He raised his hand and placed it on my head.



배진영
"You... really don't know me?"


나
"This is a company, so please refrain from speaking informally."

I said that because I am a person who strictly separates public and private life.



배진영
"Ah... that's it?"


나
"What are you talking about?"



배진영
"That's right."


배진영
"The person in my dream."


나
"I think you've got the wrong person."

Actually, I knew I was right, but I spoke firmly because I thought further conversation would interfere with the work process.


나
"Then I'll take my leave."

I returned to the office, making a clicking sound.

When I looked back, the man was tilting his head and muttering to himself.



배진영
"That's right... that person."

11:58 PM
While I was working overtime to catch up on work that had piled up, the clock was already ticking towards 12 o'clock.

In the office, there were only two people left: me and Bae Jin-young.

After finishing my work, I got up from my seat first.


나
"I'll go first..."



배진영
"Let's go together."

Bae Jin-young stood up from his seat as if he had been waiting for this and said.

I don't know why it turned out this way, but Bae Jin-young and I are walking the same path.


나
"I have to go to the left..."


배진영
"I'm on the right. That's all."

So we each went our separate ways.

I was even more scared as I walked down the dark alleyway that I really hated but had to go down after a long time.

I was in a dark place and had claustrophobia, so I could barely hear or see anything.

When I hadn't walked very far.

Tup-

Someone covered my mouth with a handkerchief from behind.


나
"Ugh...ugh!!!"

What the person said was wrong, but I couldn't hear or see anything because of my claustrophobia.


나
"Ugh...uh"

When the man briefly took off his handkerchief, I screamed.


나
"Gyaaaa ...

That's how I lost consciousness.
