In the morning, the light begins to seep in dimly.

“Hmm…”

“Are you awake, baby?”

Hyunwoo gently greeted Hyeji, who was tossing and turning and moaning softly.

It seems like something happened that made me open my eyes and look in this direction.

Even though I comforted her right before I fell asleep, I added softness to my voice just in case.

“Did you sleep well? It’s the first morning after moving in.”

“Ah…”

Hyeji, who was still half asleep, blinked her eyes in a half-asleep state.

I think I had a dream… of my deceased grandmother…

“Ah!”

Yes, I had a dream.

The grandmother who appeared in my dream for the first time in a while beckoned me to run quickly. I called out to her with a voice that I had missed so much.

The words my grandmother called me right before I woke up from my dream…

“My dog, what’s wrong?”

That’s right, puppy. The grandmother called her ‘my dog’.

Hyeji responded to Hyunwoo’s words by recalling the contents of her dream.

“Grandma…”

“Huh?”

“Grandma appeared in my dream”

“… Oh, really?”

Hyunwoo frowned subtly at the not-so-pleasant words and held her in his arms.

It felt like I was having a nightmare during the night.

I was curious about what a ghost who had already died would come to her in her dream and say to her.

“What did you say when you appeared in my dream?”

“Puppy… I said it was my puppy.”

“Puppy?”

“Yes, he used to call me puppy since he was little.”

Hyeji closed her eyes again, recalling the past.

Maybe it was because I saw my grandmother for the first time in a long time, but the memories that had faded came back to me.

“Hmm… I see. Did you have that dream because I called you puppy a lot yesterday? You just called me a puppy.”

Hyunwoo couldn’t think of anything to reply to her words, so he gave a vague answer.

“Ah… Is that so?”

“Maybe so. Honey, you were my dog yesterday.”

Her appearance was different from yesterday, but not the same.

The scribble “Mingming” is still written on her cheek. Even though it wasn’t tied around her neck, it was a leash for her placed in a place where she could see it when she turned her eyes.

Although the meaning was as different as heaven and earth from the dog her grandmother used to talk about.

Even now that her grandmother was gone, she was still a puppy.

“That’s right, Ming… Ming. It was like that”

Hyeji slowly nods her head as she reflects on last night.

Because I promised and promised that I would do anything for my brother, I ended up becoming a pet for him.

I was willing to give up being human for the joy of my boyfriend, who meant everything to me in the world.

The process was not easy, no, it was extremely difficult and painful.

There were no regrets. No, it had to be gone.

Because my brother was the person I would live with for the rest of my life from today onwards.

It made no sense to regret understanding and consideration for such a person.

“Thank you. Yesterday was really the best.”

side –

Hyunwoo thought she might be shaken, so he kissed her lightly and quickly changed the subject.

“Ah! He posted on the community while he was sleeping. Do you remember what I said about uploading photos and videos?”

“Ah, yes.”

“The response to that was really amazing. Would you like to take a look at the comments? It’s the number 1 best post right now.”

“Wow, really? I want to take a look. Show me.”

Hye-ji smiled softly at Hyun-woo, who was making a fuss with his excited voice, and slowly stood up.

Yes, because my brother likes it so much. Thinking back, yesterday’s play seemed more doable than I thought.

Although it was my first time and I made a lot of mistakes and got scolded, I think I could have done much better than yesterday if I did it one more time. If that happens, it won’t be as difficult as yesterday.

After calming down as she looked at Hyunwoo, she turned her attention to her phone screen.

“This is the first page of comments. There are already over 400 comments. Read it.”

“Wow, overnight? It’s awesome.”

And Hye-ji quickly became captivated by the small world that Hyeon-woo introduced her to.

In any case, she is the owner of the photos and videos.

It was natural for humans to be interested and curious about other people’s reactions to them.

[It’s great to see you loving so well!!!! I can see how much you love each other haha. Well, you can’t do things like this if you don’t love each other~~~ I’m jealous!! The best couple!!!!]

[Your girlfriend has the mindset of a goddess haha.. A woman like this is worth risking her life haha. I hope you get married safely and use your couple account as a couple haha]

The comments all praise and praise her.

Most people were expressing their admiration and envy for the two.

Among them, there was a comment recognizing her necklace.

[Your girlfriend’s necklace is pretty haha. It’s from B, right? The price is no joke haha. I’ll take a good look at the photos.]

As Hyeji read the comments one by one, a smile spread across her face without her realizing it.

Regardless of the content of the post, the comments such as ‘She is a goddess’ and ‘She is worthy of marriage’ made her heart happy.

Even though her reaction was difficult for a normal person to understand, her reaction was in some ways natural.

As a rationalization mechanism to soothe her wounded heart, the approval of others seemed quite plausible.

Yesterday’s terrible humiliation was not something that could be cured just by waking up from a night’s sleep, and an appropriate compensation was needed to comfort it.

For example, things like the current comments that are only praise.

The fact that yesterday’s pain and yesterday’s sadness were not in vain at all, but rather something valuable that deserved everyone’s recognition, instantly covered her wounds.

Just like a person struggling with extreme thirst discovers water, Hyeji drank the comments into her heart one by one.

Her precarious mind easily clung to anything it could lean on.

“Oppa, have you seen all of this? They say I’m a goddess. They say we are the best couple.”

“Then, I watched it all while waiting for him to wake up.”

Hyunwoo chuckled and ruffled her hair.

Where did you just look at the comments? He also wrote several comments himself.

Since it was an anonymous community anyway, creating a new ID was not difficult at all.

Dozens of first-level accounts that can be created by simply selecting an ID and password. Through those accounts, Hyunwoo left several comments that would appeal to her, as well as comments that suited his own tastes.

Comments that recognize the brand of the necklace she wears around her neck. Or a comment praising her for her understanding.

Of course, not all of those comments were written by Hyunwoo, but he left dozens while changing his ID, so there were four or five comments written by him on each page.

“Read the article, not the comments. I wrote that I put a lot of effort into writing it, but I’m not sure if I’ll like it.”

“Oh, is that so? Oki, wait a minute.”

Hyeji scrolled up and read Hyunwoo’s text.

As she scrolled down, her smile grew brighter.

“What, why did you write it so well? You wrote this for me, right?”

“Hmm… there’s a bit of that side to it, right? Do you think it’s okay?”

“Yes, it’s good. As expected, my brother speaks really well and writes really well.”

Hyeji nods and scrolls down to the end.

After reading the last part about asking for a recommendation, her eyes became a little brighter.

That’s because Hyunwoo’s post was full of love for his girlfriend.

How lovely this woman is, how amazing she is. How much I want to be together for the rest of my life.

Hyunwoo’s writing was like a letter he wrote to her, appealing to his love for her in every other paragraph.

Of course, the part where I described what happened with her was just a simple list of facts, so it didn’t catch her eye. All I could see was an earnest confession of love.

“You know that’s all sincere, right? This is what I felt while organizing the photos… I felt again how much he loves me. Just like people’s comments, there really won’t be another woman like you in this world.”

“Hey, why are you being so embarrassed this morning?”

“No, it’s not a joke. Everyone says that. A goddess. My mind is crazy. You really have a shitty mind. You can be proud.”

“… Really?”

“Yes, really.”

After finishing what he had to say, Hyunwoo hugs her again.

A smile filled his face as he realized that he had successfully completed his morning plan.

The plan for this morning was simple.

Post to the community. They create personal accounts, write comments, and manipulate public opinion to their liking.

On the other hand, any comments that say this is a crime or that this is exploiting someone’s weakness and threatening them will be deleted and their account blocked.

We encourage her with this filtered, artificial feedback.

You’ve been great so far, and everyone else thinks the same way, using the trick to bring about psychological attunement.

So everything in the morning went according to Hyunwoo’s plan.

The morning when a new sun has just risen after a terrible humiliation.

A new humiliation drama, starting with community confirmation, was waiting for her again today.
