The sea that embraces you

" eww… "

Dahae opened her eyes with a frown.

Beyond the round ceiling, schools of fish and fluttering seaweed could be seen.

다해 image

다해

" ...? "

다해 image

다해

"Where am I...?"

As I slowly rose, a blue-tinged stone hung on the end of my necklace.

다해 image

다해

"This is..."

Dahae touched the stone with her fingertips.

다해 image

다해

"It's similar to what I saw before?"

다해 image

다해

"But why is this hanging around my neck?"

I looked up and saw a bookshelf surrounded by coral reefs, a dresser inlaid with pearls,

I saw small jellyfish floating in the air.

And Dahae was sitting on a large bed made of seashells.

다해 image

다해

"What is all this...?"

Only then did Dahae realize that he was underwater.

Dahae took a deep breath.

다해 image

다해

(( 'Breath, breath... easy'))

Dahae felt more comfortable than afraid in the unfamiliar space.

다해 image

다해

"Are you having that dream?"

The moment Dahae was about to get out of bed,

"Yeonhwa!!!!"

The door opened violently, and someone hugged Da-ha.

Pressed into the firm, massive embrace, Dahae blinked, dazed.

다해 image

다해

(( 'What...what is it...? ' ))

용왕 image

용왕

"Thank goodness, Yeonhwa."

용왕 image

용왕

"I'm glad you're alive"

His voice was a mixture of relief and fear.

Just then, someone came in through the door.

" majesty "

다해

" ...? "

다해 image

다해

"Bambi...?"

The face was clearly Bambi's, but the hand protruding from the clothes was a fin.

용왕 image

용왕

"I thought I had lost you forever..."

It was then that Dahae looked at the Dragon King's face for the first time.

Horns towering above its head, gorgeous yet subdued eyes.

다해 image

다해

(( 'Is this a dream...? '))

다해 image

다해

(( 'It's this vivid? '))

It had been a blurry dream before, but this time it was strangely vivid.

This time it was definitely different.

A sticky sensation gripped Dahae's arm.

다해 image

다해

"Eww!!!"

The octopus doctor was taking the pulse with his tentacles.

용왕 image

용왕

"Is it okay!!"

The Dragon King held Dahae in his arms and looked sharply at the council member.

문어 의원

"I am sorry, Your Majesty."

Seeing the bewildered expression on the congressman's face, Dahae spoke urgently.

다해 image

다해

"I'm okay!!"

다해 image

다해

"Please... look again"

Dahae suppressed her fear and reached out to the doctor.

용왕 image

용왕

"What is the condition of the lotus?"

문어 의원

"Miss Yeonhwa's current condition is fine..."

용왕 image

용왕

" but? "

The Dragon King frowned slightly and looked at the council member.

문어 의원

"You seem to be sensitive to shock, so I recommend you get plenty of rest."

The Dragon King sighed in relief at the doctor's words.

The Dragon King held Dahae in his arms and slowly stroked her head.

용왕 image

용왕

"Thank goodness... really"

신하 image

신하

"Your Majesty... I'm sorry, but..."

신하 image

신하

"There's work waiting for you to do."

The Dragon King hesitated for a moment at his subject's words, then looked down at Dahye and said:

용왕 image

용왕

"Just rest"

용왕 image

용왕

"I'll be back soon"

...

After everyone left the room, Da-hae, left alone, slapped herself hard on the cheek.

다해 image

다해

"Ouch... Does it hurt...?"

It was so painful that tears welled up in my eyes.

다해 image

다해

"Is this perhaps a dream...?"

다해 image

다해

"Then where is this place?"

다해 image

다해

"I definitely hit a car, and..."

다해 image

다해

"It doesn't seem like a hospital..."

Dahae was lost in thought for a moment.

It's not a hospital, and it's not a dream...

다해 image

다해

"Am I dead...?

다해 image

다해

"Yeah, that weird octopus and the guy with the horns."

다해 image

다해

"Then... why is Bambi here...?"

다해 image

다해

"Wait a minute, didn't Bambi call you to tell me about that horned man?"

다해 image

다해

"Hah... what the hell is this?"

Dahae tried to understand this absurd situation.

Then, by chance, I found myself reflected in the mirror.

The face in the mirror resembled my own, but it seemed like a completely different person.

Silver hair and unfamiliar clothes like hanbok.

Dahae swung her arms around, repeatedly checking to see if her reflection in the mirror was her own.

다해 image

다해

"It's really me...?"

다해 image

다해

"If this isn't a dream... where am I?"

I became increasingly curious about this place, which I had never known before.

I touched the blue stone reflected in the mirror and absentmindedly took off the necklace.

...thud!

At that moment, I lost my balance and fell to the floor.

다해 image

다해

"Oh... it hurts"

I grabbed my butt and tried to get up.

I felt a strange sensation at my fingertips.

다해 image

다해

"What is this...? Scales?!?"

Let's slowly lower our gaze along the fingertips.

다해 image

다해

"Gyaaaaaaaah!!!!"

다해 image

다해

" what's this!!!!! "

Dahae's legs had transformed into fins.
