“Kang.”
His voice calling her name softly echoed.
“Do you remember what you said when I asked you to make room for me?”
“……”
“You said that it seemed like a good idea.”
The dark living room.
In the quietness where even footsteps have died down.
“You definitely said that with your own mouth, didn’t you?”
A smile spread on the lips of the mountain heading towards the bedroom.
Soon, the door opened.
Silver moonlight pouring in through the large window settled on the white bed, and from Kang’s body, violet smoke began to bloom little by little.
As the mountain began to absorb the nightmare with his whole body, the smoke soon wrapped around the two like tangled threads.
Creak
The automatically closed door completely trapped him and her inside the bedroom, and the mountain gently laid Kang, who had fallen into a deep sleep, on the bed.
Then he lay down next to her, resting his chin, and looked at her with a languid gaze.
The energy of the dream coming out stronger and stronger endlessly flowed into him.
Unable to keep up with the sucking speed, the nightmare in the form of smoke seemed to be entangled around the mountain’s body like a vine, appearing as if it was trapping him from a distance.
Following her consciousness, he could faintly see the scene of the nightmare that Kang was dreaming.
And when he completely infiltrated her unconsciousness, it was possible to vividly peek at her dream.
Actually, the mountain was on his way to meet one of the people who kept appearing in Kang’s dream.
Well, she ended up having to return because she called in the middle.
So he thought he’d go into Kang’s unconsciousness again today.
If his prediction was correct, he would soon be able to engrave the dream’s door on her body and filter out the entity that was eating the nightmare.
“By now, you must have noticed my existence.”
If she didn’t want to share the dream happily, she would react in a few days.
Normally, Dream Eaters visit the side of sleeping humans and absorb their nightmares and fears, but a small number of highranking Dream Eaters invade human dreams without physical contact and eat their nightmares.
Moreover, they directly build the world of nightmares or direct scenes to make them dream even more terrifying dreams.
Their purpose was mostly to implant bad memories in humans, and it was the same principle as a farmer cultivating fertile land to get good fruit, as he told Kang.
In other words, it was no different from being dominated by life itself.
There were very few people who had such special nightmares. But even most of them could not bear their miserable and painful life and had a short life.
And Kang was the only human who endured it all.
It was remarkable to the point of feeling harsh, and in a way, it could not but be a matter of pride.
San quietly muttered to himself, looking at her sleeping face.
“Everyone probably couldn’t believe it even if they saw it.”
“…….”
“Just like I did.”
He recalled the day when Kang jumped off the balcony, asserting her right to be happy.
It wasn’t that she wanted to die, it was that she wanted to live properly.
The stubbornness and pride that she had held up until now, must have stemmed from her desperate longing for life.
The right to be free and happy.
San could not exactly know what kind of happiness Kang was pursuing, but he thought that in the end, it would not be much different from the goal he was unconsciously following.
Not being threatened by anyone, resisting one’s inherent fate, leading one’s own life.
That’s what she wanted, and what he also wanted.
For that, Kang had to end this horrible nightmare, and San had to take her nightmare and gain power that no one could oppose.
Ultimately, to ‘survive’.
It was still hard to quench his hunger and take Kang’s nightmare.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not get used to it, and no matter how much he took it, he did not get tired of it.
So it was painful, and so it was joyful.
“How can you dream such dreams?”
Seo Kang was noble and special.
Beautiful, delicious, and an excellent human being with high nutrients.
Sometimes, looking at her sleeping face, it seemed very lovely.
Every day, he wished that Kang would not die for a long time, withstand it, and give him what he wanted.
“Sleep well.”
San, who had been slowly absorbing her nightmare, lowered his head and kissed her round forehead.
His admiration for today was enough.
“See you soon.”
It was time to carry out the planned task.
Lying side by side and looking at the ceiling, he gripped Kang’s hand he was holding tightly with more force.
Then, he closed his eyes and entered a state of sleep.
There were two ways for Mongma to infiltrate a human’s dream.
The first case is when they enter the unconscious through physical contact with humans, as San did.
The second method is to engrave a door of dreams on a human’s body, and to infiltrate the dream through that door without physical contact or distance restrictions.
And in both cases, Mongma also falls asleep.

Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
