… … … … …

Mr. Sun looked surprised at my question, but then burst into laughter as if it was unexpected.

“What, you still don’t know? You little brat, are you really clueless?

You still don’t know that this body is an immigrant from beyond the dimensional gate?”

An immigrant from beyond the dimensional gate? Could he be the same type as Teacher Wol-hee? It was truly astonishing that there were so many people around me who were the type of people you only see on the news.

“Really? You’re saying that the Sun is from beyond the dimensional gate?”

My reaction made Sun-nim look even more proud. She placed her hands on her hips and continued speaking confidently.

“Yeah. This body said it at the beginning. The original name was Aurelius. It was an easy hint to infer just by looking at this.

Let me introduce myself again. This body is the Sun Dragon, Aurelius. In this land, I call myself Kim Tae-yang. So, you can call me as you have been calling me. ”

“Wow… … .”

I couldn’t close my mouth. A dragon? Isn’t that something that only appears in myths?

“How is it, isn’t it an honor? Now that you know, let’s do our best and play even harder.

Life is short, so you should have as much fun as possible. Right?”

At her words, I still couldn’t come to my senses and just nodded.

“So you’re actually in the form of a dragon? Are you transforming right now?”

She winked playfully at my question.

“Well? What do you think? Do you want to see the real shape of this body?”

I hesitated for a moment and then nodded. Sun-nim giggled and then suddenly took on a serious expression.

“Unfortunately, the Earth’s magical energy density is too low to take the form of a dragon.

Even the physical output is only quite strong compared to humans with this ability. ”

I felt a little disappointed by her words, but decided not to show it.

“But why are you telling me such an important fact?”

The sun seemed to think for a moment and then answered.

“Well… … Kid, you look like you’re having fun?

Well, the reason doesn’t matter. What matters is how much fun you can have with this body from now on.”

Her words left me bewildered. I had no idea what to do.

“Don’t worry, kid. You’ve already made this body fun enough. All you have to do is do whatever you want.”

I nodded to Taeyang’s words, but honestly, I wasn’t sure. How could I entertain someone like this?

“Okay, let’s go now. There are still a lot of fun things waiting for you.”

She smiled brightly and put her arm around my shoulder.

… … … … …

Even after revealing his identity, Sun-nim acted no differently than before. In fact, he seemed a little more free and lively.

As the sun slowly set toward the horizon, the beach turned golden.

“Little guy, I’ll show you something fun. Follow me.”

Sun suddenly grabbed my hand and led me towards the sandy beach in front of the sea. The spray of the waves was right in front of her, but she didn’t care.

“Okay, close your eyes now.”

As I closed my eyes, the sun began to draw something on my hand.

“Now open your eyes.”

When I opened my eyes, there was a rather large medieval sand castle built on the beach. And it was very elaborate.

“Wow… …How did you do this so quickly… …?”

“This much is enough to do even on Earth, where magic density is low. I can’t show my true self, so I’ll be satisfied with this much.”

As time passed and the sun completely set and darkness fell, the sun suddenly jumped into the sea.

“Hey kid, what are you doing? Come on in! It’s fun to play in the night sea!”

Although I hesitated a little at her suggestion, I eventually followed her and jumped into the sea. My body shivered in the cold water, but it soon adapted and I was fine.

Eventually, we played in the water for a while. The sun’s laughter echoed through the night sea.

After playing on the beach for a while, we changed out of our wet clothes and climbed into Taeyang’s sports car.

As we came to the beach, Sun-nim took the wheel and I sat in the passenger seat. The car was quiet, with only the sound of the engine.

After running for a while, Taeyang suddenly opened his mouth.

“Hey kid.”

“Yes?”

“You’re a guy I really want to monopolize. I think it’d be a shame to give you to another female.”

I looked at her in surprise at Taeyang’s words. Her eyes were still focused on the front, but there was a strange smile on her lips.

The smile was different from his usual playful yet ferocious laugh. It seemed much more dangerous and greedy.

“What… … are you talking about?”

Mr. Sun stopped his car on the side of the road, slowly turned his head, and looked at me. At that moment, I held my breath.

Her eyes… … were shining golden. The pupils in particular were slit vertically, like the eyes of a reptile. Those eyes seemed to pierce through me, and I felt infinitely small before those gazes.

“Become this body. I will make sure that you enjoy the utmost pleasure in body and mind until you grow old and die.”

The Sun’s voice was menacing, and contained an iron will. It seemed as if he had no regard for my wishes.

“Uh, that, um, that’s… … .”

Her gaze grew more and more intense. In those golden eyes, I could feel endless time and power.

Her presence filled the car, and as I faced her true colors for the first time, I was overcome by an inexplicable fear. My whole body froze like a rabbit in front of a wild beast, and now it was difficult to even breathe.

But at the same time, deep inside me, a little courage rose up. It was courage, it was stubbornness, it was rebellion.

Even though she was a powerful being from beyond the dimension, I had my own life. This was my own small belief that would not change no matter who the other person was.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Sun… but… that’s a bit… … .”

I tried to suppress my trembling voice and barely managed to continue speaking.

“Mr. Taeyang is a good person, but… …I don’t think that will happen.

I… … I want to live my life.”

The look in Taeyang’s eyes became scary after hearing my answer. I could read anger and disappointment in her eyes. My heart stopped beating because of the tremendous pressure she was giving off.

But soon her expression relaxed and she smiled, seemingly pleased.

The change was so sudden that I even wondered if the expression on her face I had seen just a moment ago had been an illusion.

“Ha! Alright. Then let’s play with this body tomorrow too. Let’s play something more fun than today.”

The sun’s voice was bright, but I could clearly sense the disappointment hidden within it. But I couldn’t readily accept her offer this time either.

“Excuse me, Mr. Sun. I’m going to give a gift to President Sky tomorrow.”

When Taeyang heard what I said, he laughed out loud. I don’t know why he laughed like that, but I think I knew that he was in a very bad mood.

“Hahaha, that’s funny. You’re really bold. You’re rejecting this body’s offer and going to meet another female?”

“I’m sorry, Sun. But I wanted to give you a gift quickly… … .”

“No, not at all. On the contrary, you did a great job. Thanks to you, it became really fun.”

The sun was still smiling with eyes like a beast. I had nothing to say because he kept saying it was okay, but no matter how much I thought about it, I felt like things would turn out badly if I continued like this.

“Then… …Is it okay if I go see the Sky President tomorrow?”

“Of course, but.”

Tension rose at Taeyang’s words. Her eyes became sharper.

“Let’s go with this body. I want to meet the woman you care so much about, CEO Sky, just once.”

Her suggestion caught my breath. What would happen if Sun-nim and Sky-sama met? Considering their personalities, I couldn’t predict what would happen.

“Yeah, that’s… … Sun-nim… … ?”

I wanted to say something to reject her offer, but the words that were about to come out stopped in my throat under the intense gaze of the sun.

Since I had already rejected the Sun’s offer several times, rejecting it any longer felt… dangerous. My survival instinct was sounding the alarm.

“Ah… …Okay. Let’s go together.”

A triumphant smile spread across Taeyang’s lips at my answer.

“That’s a wise choice.

Tomorrow is going to be really fun, aren’t you excited?”

“Ah, ahaha… … .”

I could only laugh vaguely at her words. I couldn’t even imagine what would happen tomorrow.

But one thing was certain: tomorrow would not be an ordinary day.

“Excuse me, Mr. Sun. By any chance… …you’re not planning on fighting with the Sky President, are you?”

“What? Don’t worry. This body just wants to look around.

I just want to see what kind of guy the woman you care so much about is.”

I couldn’t say anything more to her, who answered without changing her expression at all.
