Dream? (Jinsun)

Hands and feet are heavy. Not just heavy, but they won’t move properly.

Breath catches in my throat, a feeling of being crushed in the chest.

‘Am I having sleep paralysis?’

I don’t think I’ve had sleep paralysis since I started possessing this body, so I must be terribly tired.

Back in my school days, I used to get sleep paralysis two or three times a week due to fatigue and stress, so it wasn’t that scary.

I had so much sleep paralysis that I became quite skilled at breaking free.

It varies from person to person, but focusing on moving the tips of your toes or fingers gradually releases the paralysis.

I wiggle my index finger.

Once, twice, three times….

My index finger moves better than I thought. It doesn’t even feel like sleep paralysis.

‘Huh, it’s not working.’

Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since I’ve had sleep paralysis, but it’s not going away when it should.

My chest is still heavy.

“Hey, I thought you were asleep. I even used magic….”

I hear a voice. I’ve heard it somewhere before, but I can’t remember who it is.

My thoughts change rapidly, as if swimming in the boundary between reality and dream.

Come to think of it, I definitely opened my eyes, but why can’t I see anything?

“Wh, what….”

I try to make a sound. Is it coming out properly? I’m confused whether I actually spoke or not.

I felt something twitching on my chest.

As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I spotted a figure on my chest.

I feel like I know who it is, but I don’t.

“Is this a lucid dream….”

This is a first.

“I, it’s a dream.”

The being on my chest reacts to my muttering.

“Who… are you?”

I ask the identity of the other party in a fading voice. Then, the black figure comes close to my face.

The figure of the other party, only visible as darkness, as a shadow.

It whispers something in my ear. I don’t even know what language it is, but the language keeps ringing in my ear.

After muttering for a while, the other party got up and distanced themselves from me.

“What do I look like now?”

With the voice, I could see the other party riding on top of me.

Shining red eyes, black ponytail tied up, a face with a triumphant smile.

“M, Master?”

My Master, whom I had parted with forever, was sitting on my chest.

With her face flushed red.

“Master?! How are you here?”

“Master….”

It’s definitely Master’s appearance. I engraved that appearance in my eyes and chuckled.

She looked down at me at my laughter. I guess she’s wondering why I’m laughing all of a sudden.

“Were you missing me so much that you appeared even in my dreams?”

“I, is that so?”

Master’s words are very cautious. She treats me as if she’s seeing me for the first time.

“Master, why are you talking like that?”

I asked about the unignorable distance, and Master closed her eyes for a moment and placed her palm on my head.

“Talking like what?”

“I’m asking why you’re suddenly using honorifics.”

“Ah, th, that so? Haha, it’s suddenly awkward.”

I wonder if I should call her out on the awkwardness I feel even though she changed her tone, but who cares? It’s a dream anyway.

“So, what brings you to my dream? Is the Black Heaven Cult safe? What about Youngma?”

Because it’s a dream, it’s faint and welcome. Because if it’s not a dream, I won’t be able to see her again.

“Th, that’s enough. Don’t ask too many questions at once.”

I close my mouth for a moment at the awkward informal speech.

“Haha, you’re right. I’m just too happy. If Master is appearing in my dreams, I must have been lonely.”

“Lonely?”

Master’s eyes widen.

“I was lonely. You may not know it, Master, but I’m lonely. No one understands me.”

“Doesn’t understand, I understand you….”

“Master doesn’t really know either, does she? My secret.”

“……..”

The vitality drains from Master’s face like a withered flower.

“Don’t make such a face. It’s because I didn’t tell you.”

“Anyway, could you come down a bit? To be honest, it’s a bit heavy… Ugh!”

Suddenly, I gasped for breath.

Master’s lips, descending like a kite, covered my lips.

Rough inhales and exhales repeatedly entered and exited my mouth.

A clumsy kiss.

It was very different from the sensation I had felt when kissing her more than dozens of times.

Is it because this is also a dream?

“Why, why did I come out, you asked?”

She took her lips off with a ‘pah’ sound and said, wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.

“You, you said you were lonely? I came out to make you not lonely.”

“Pardon?”

“Th, that is! Se… Se….”

“Se?”

“Let’s have sex!”

Master’s face was very red, as if she was ashamed of something.

Why is she so embarrassed? We’ve been sucking and licking each other day and night.

-Chirp chirp

I hear the birds singing, announcing the morning.

I open my eyes and reflexively move my arms and legs.

Unlike the dream at dawn, I am free.

“Did I have a restless sleep?”

Looking at the time, I hadn’t slept that long.

Maybe my body has become accustomed to the homeless life pattern.

“Ugh- I feel so stiff.”

I get up, stretching.

Somehow, my body aches.

“Is she asleep? She didn’t even eat dinner, should I wake her up a little early and feed her?”

I gently knock on the door where Kim Sung-ah is.

-Knock knock

As expected, there is no answer. Well, if she woke up at this time, she wouldn’t be Kim Sung-ah….

“What is it.”

Her voice is heard from the other side of the door.

Not a sleepy voice, but a very clear voice.

“Oh, you were awake? I’m going to make breakfast, do you want some? How about a simple ham and cheese toast?”

“…Okay. Let me know when it’s ready.”

“Okay, I got it. Sleep a little more.”

“Mister.”

I was about to go down to the first floor when Seong-ah stopped me.

“Yeah?”

“Um… Did you sleep well?”

“I think I had a restless sleep. I think I had a lot of dreams too.”

“Do you remember the dream?”

“Um… I don’t remember. But why?”

“It’s nothing. I was just… just asking.”

“You’re boring.”

Ah, I’m hungry. Why am I so hungry?

I need to make breakfast quickly.
