When you open your eyes, the dream becomes reality

Why are mirrors made of this material?

I sat quietly on the mirrored floor, chatting away. I thought of the space inside the mirror as air, so the vastness of the space made my words resonate.

Thinking back to my experience meeting Kim Seok-jin earlier, I didn't want to go out and run into anyone again.

한예화 image

한예화

Hmm.

I need to do some academic thinking during this time! I sat down, jumped up, and took a quick look in the mirror.

It's a lake with a transparent bottom and an unknown material. My writing only said it was a lake.

한예화 image

한예화

Maybe this is also a battle,

Ah. No. Be careful. I almost said it.

한예화 image

한예화

Maybe this was also something that scammer had created. He seems to have a knack for digging around.

I hit the mirror wall. As expected, it's incredibly sturdy. Did a wall need to be this sturdy and transparent?

I have to try the other side too.

한예화 image

한예화

Heck!

전정국 image

전정국

What does that mean?

한예화 image

한예화

No, I was surprised because you came in so suddenly!

한예화 image

한예화

Shouldn't you at least make a sound? You inconsiderate fraud!

As I turned to hit the opposite wall, Jeon Jungkook was standing there. Unlike my startled reaction, he looked remarkably relaxed.

Oh, but, yesterday, I heard a pseudo-confession from him... something like "G-baek".

My face felt like it was heating up for a moment, and I opened my eyes wide to meet Jeon Jungkook's rabbit-like gaze. Never be scared. Han Yehwa.

I'm number 0 in the world of fighting. I can do it. I can do it.

한예화 image

한예화

you.

전정국 image

전정국

uh.

한예화 image

한예화

class.

전정국 image

전정국

... what.

한예화 image

한예화

Aren't you going?

When I made a very serious expression and spoke in the same tone as Jeon Jungkook, he made a look of not understanding.

No, you always say that and you think I'll understand?

한예화 image

한예화

Are you not going to class?

전정국 image

전정국

Sorry, we're on break right now.

한예화 image

한예화

Crazy. I was out there for two hours?

Actually, I don't really think about my phone anymore, but I thought, "Where could I find such wasteful things like spending two hours doing nothing without my phone?"

Oh, I suddenly feel so sad. I'm not doing any self-development at all.

전정국 image

전정국

The class is.

한예화 image

한예화

Anyway... Ah, if only I had a cell phone.

전정국 image

전정국

...what is that.

Come to think of it, a whole world of things could be solved with just a cell phone. You could take pictures, do whatever you want, and while there's no Wi-Fi, you could at least record or videotape...

... Wait. Okay. Recording!

한예화 image

한예화

hey!

As I reach out and utter my final words, Jeon Jungkook raises a knife in his eye. Even the con artist is surprised.

전정국 image

전정국

what?

한예화 image

한예화

Recording.

전정국 image

전정국

... what?

한예화 image

한예화

Recording. Recording. Recording! There's got to be a recorder here! Or not?

Jeon Jungkook's neat brow furrowed. How can you be so handsome while doing such martial arts comic book-like things?

I felt a sense of awe that was hard to describe in words, so I quickly waved my hand in the cold air of the mirror.

한예화 image

한예화

Like this, like this, square. If you say it, it's recorded, that is! Oh, there's a machine like that!

전정국 image

전정국

It's a machine.

한예화 image

한예화

Yeah! Machine!

전정국 image

전정국

... ...

I can't read any emotion from his expression. He has a calm expression and his mouth is tightly shut, so it looks like he's not thinking.

... Really? Are they really non-existent? What continent are you talking about where there are no machines?

Ah. They use magic.

...But what kind of machine is this? Using a new technology that changes emotions once a second, he glares at Jeon Jungkook, but suddenly...

한예화 image

한예화

...Huh?

전정국 image

전정국

The machine,

한예화 image

한예화

Sana!

전정국 image

전정국

Please speak so I can understand.

Jeon Jungkook was pouting with his lips sticking out, and I pushed him away.

한예화 image

한예화

Sana! Sana must be good at something mechanical, her father is a weapons smith!

전정국 image

전정국

Aren't weapons and machines a bit different?

한예화 image

한예화

Who cares!

There's an old saying, or rather, in Korean, that the pen is mightier than the sword and the keyboard is mightier than the pen.

And to make a non-existent sound with the keyboard...

한예화 image

한예화

Manipulated evidence.

전정국 image

전정국

her.

Jeon Jungkook laughed in vain at the sound of the sudden sneeze.

I once watched Detective Pinan and Boy Detective Kim Jeon-pi with great interest. I know exactly what to do in situations like this.

Yeah, you become a villain with a story!

I already have a reputation for being a bit of a jerk. I love Kim Taehyung so much...

전정국 image

전정국

What do you love?

한예화 image

한예화

Oh, stop reading! It's operation time now.

Anyway, she loves him too much. Because she loves Kim Taehyung too much, she swears at Yeoju Lee and leaves the recording device in the teacher's office or in front of the plaza.

And a note placed on top of the recorder...

Reim Han Ye-hwa's personality level lol.

한예화 image

한예화

That's it.

한예화 image

한예화

I'll go get a recorder!

I tried to run out of the mirror in a hurry.

So... I tried anyway. Until Jeon Jungkook caught my floating wrist and stopped me.

한예화 image

한예화

Hey, I have to go find Sana.

전정국 image

전정국

What does it mean to love Kim Taehyung?

한예화 image

한예화

Oh, that's the whole plan! It's all lies!

I can't say it's a complete lie, but if I could escape the constant chain of events that hurt my body, I could give up something like having a crush on a handsome guy.

What I'm in a hurry to do right now is get a recorder.

한예화 image

한예화

Do you happen to have the ability to record human voices?

전정국 image

전정국

...I'm not a parrot.

한예화 image

한예화

Really? Then get out!

I shook my hand and jumped out of the mirror.

Ah, my heart is pounding at the thought of being expelled! Just wait a minute, Bella!

In the story, Sana has a father who is a weapons smith. Her father is a famous weapons smith in Silan, and her mother is a mechanic who controls the central steam device.

There's no way you can't be good with machines!

Of course, my mom was a good student too... but on the other hand, I was just an average middle school student... but that's Earth and this is a fantasy planet.

한예화 image

한예화

Oh, I miss my mom.

Mom, Mom, your daughter is skipping class every day because she's about to get hit in the head with glass and get kicked out... Of course, I'd rather have a daughter like Han Ye-hwa, but I miss her.

After writing a long video letter in my head, I knocked on Sana and Momo's room door.

한예화 image

한예화

Sana! I have something to ask you. Let me in for a moment!

I'm catching my breath, having run so fast, but there's no answer. I don't even hear footsteps coming out to open the door.

...was the soundproofing this good?

한예화 image

한예화

Sana, please open the door.

I can't hear anyone walking towards the door or talking.

What if I didn't tell him that I was trying to drop out, and he heard it through rumors... and he's mad at me?

Crazy, that really won't do!

한예화 image

한예화

Sana, the truth is, I kept skipping classes because I was afraid of getting expelled... I didn't know it would spread like wildfire, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you.

한예화 image

한예화

But this is really important! Seriously, seriously! Talk to me, I'll explain everything!

한예화 image

한예화

I need you... and it's really important.

The only sound in the empty hallway was my voice. No, Mr. Sana. What the hell is going on... I... I did something stupid.

The force of the blows left her legs, which had been firmly planted, weak. With a short groan, Han Ye-hwa's slender body sagged.

한예화 image

한예화

Ah... I was blessed with a body, but the problem was that I didn't exercise. I should run a bit more from now on...

Well, I'm just interrupting class like I just yelled at him. He should be in class, but I'm just being silly. Seriously...

Since I didn't have anything with me, I rested my head against the cushioned door and fiddled with the tassels on my clothes.

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

...no need.

한예화 image

한예화

evil!

Suddenly, a soft murmur came from beyond the door, and I came to my senses. It was... Sana's voice.

Didn't you hear my voice? Or, who am I talking to?

I couldn't hear anything when I took my ear off the door, so I pressed my hand and ear against it. If someone opened the door right now, I'd be screwed...

Sob sob. I'm sorry Sana, I'm sorry for spying on you!

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

I... ...don't have an example like you... ...

???

Don't you see what's important? Georgian betrayed us! You must have been treated badly by Han Ye-hwa at one point, too!

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

Hey! What nonsense are you talking about!

???

Think about it, Han Ye-hwa... ... ... I know you gave it all to me.

No, I can't hear you! What did you give me, you idiot?

Sana seemed to be conversing with a man with a raspy voice. No, it would be more accurate to say they were fighting. There was a sharp edge to his voice.

But why are you fighting? In class?

전정국 image

전정국

- Sorry, we're on break right now.

I remembered what Jeon Jungkook had said a few minutes ago. Oh, right. It was break time. Han Yehwa, you idiot... Jeon Jungkook, I'm sorry too.

???

...Yeah, even if it's not Han Ye-hwa... ...there must be a limit, right?

Wow, that doesn't sound so bad. I pressed my cheek against the door, almost crumpling it, and focused all my attention on the sounds inside.

???

You stole all the weapons from Han Ye-hwa's carrier and gave them to me. Because of Park Jimin.

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

Amerikap.

한예화 image

한예화

Amerikap?

That crazy platinum blonde? Why didn't he bring Kang Dada with him...?

... Is this already the time to betray?

한예화 image

한예화

It's fucked.

It was too late. The moment when Lathea, with Ameri's help, hits Kang Dada on the back of the head was very final, right before Lee Yeo-ju and Nam-ju started dating.

We can't just sit still like this!

아메리 카프 image

아메리 카프

Does your mother manage the core steam?

아메리 카프 image

아메리 카프

If you just push it away, no one will know. Are you going to uproot the entire Minatozaki family?

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

Take it easy.

아메리 카프 image

아메리 카프

Why? You don't want to be hit? Then bring Han Ye-hwa.

아메리 카프 image

아메리 카프

Because I'll kill Han Ye-hwa halfway... and make that great Jeon Jeong-guk hang himself with Ratal.

I gritted my teeth.

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

I will never cooperate. Whatever Jimin did to me in the past has nothing to do with Yehwa.

아메리 카프 image

아메리 카프

Yeah, that's foolish of you. Then your whole family will fall apart.

아메리 카프 image

아메리 카프

Do you know how vast the Kaph estate is? I could kill you all if I just send a few of my butlers. Let's see if that great Jeon Jeong-guk doesn't come over.

I kicked the door open, stamping my foot hard on the floor. I could hear Sana's startled scream from inside, and Ameri's footsteps running toward the door.

아메리 카프 image

아메리 카프

Damn it, who!

I made America Cap's eyes turn red.

The last thing I remember was blood gushing out of that annoying mouth.
