… … … … …

    I have a dream.

    “Seo-ah, how was your day?”

    “The rate of reduction in the base rate was slower than expected, so reflecting that――Oh, sorry. I made the explanation too difficult.

    It was the same as usual. Investment advice is always the same.

    But… … .”

    “But?”

    “There’s someone particularly picky today. Talking about normalization and all… … .”

    “I see… … .”

    There was a hint of fatigue in Seo-ah’s voice.

    It was inevitable. She was a big shot in the stock market and an investment advisor during the day, and a hero who kept the peace in the city at night, so she felt like having two bodies was not enough.

    “Then how about just resting today? Seo-ah looks tired.”

    Now, I was sitting on Seo-ah’s lap in her study, holding her hand that was wrapped around my stomach.

    “No, I’ve already been resting for three days. I want to spend more time with Ga-eul, but I can’t rest forever.”

    “Then I will watch it with you and cheer you on.”

    “Thank you. I heard there’s a suspicious deal in Gangnam today. I’ll broadcast it with the action cam.”

    Seo-ah changed into a black suit and winked at me. Watching her in action in front of the monitor was always nerve-racking and exciting, as she shared her biggest secret with me.

    “Wow, Seo-ah! You’re really amazing! You can climb up to the 5th floor in one go just by jumping from the same spot… … .”

    Her movements were truly perfect. She was captured on screen dodging all the criminals’ attacks with bated breath and subduing them as if she was dancing.

    “I’m going to finish up and go back now. I think the connection will be unstable, so I’ll hang up here.”

    About an hour after Ms. Seo’s communication was cut off, she finally returned.

    “Have a nice trip.”

    I could smell the sweet perfume coming from her as she hugged me. However, there seemed to be a strangely pungent scent mixed in with that strong perfume smell.

    ‘The smell of blood… …?’

    “Okay, I bought some snacks for the fall army.”

    But that thought quickly disappeared as soon as I saw the food in the paper bag that Seo-ah held out.

    “Wow, Mara Mint Eel Jelly Pie? You remembered me when I said I wanted to try it last time!”

    “There’s no way I could forget what Ga-eul said, right?”

    Seo-ah smiled as she stroked my head. The fishy smell I had smelled from her hand was a little stronger, but it was probably the smell of fish.

    “If I eat it all… …I’ll eat up the fall army?”

    “Ahaha. Seo-ah, you’re joking too!”

    As I was setting the table with the food that Seo-ah had bought, I had a good laugh at her joke.

    At first glance, Seo-ah seemed very cold, but in fact, she was a witty and kind person who did not harm others. The fact that I could be with her made me happy.

    I loved Miss Seo-ah.

    … … … … …

    I have a dream.

    “Come here, kid.”

    Now that I think about it, the Sun had been calling me by that strange title of kid from the beginning.

    At first, I felt a little uncomfortable with that title because it felt awkward and derogatory… … But now that I look back, it’s just a good memory.

    In the first place, the Sun is the type of person who treats everyone else equally except herself, and the way she calls me is full of affection. It was different from how she calls others.

    Of course, it could just be my feeling.

    “Come quickly, come quickly. Hurry.”

    “Ah, yes… … .”

    I ran to Sun-nim, who seemed to be extremely anxious about something, and hugged her. She hugged me like I hugged a teddy bear.

    “Why are you so late? It took you thirty seconds.”

    “Bar, I just came… … ..”

    I felt the hot breath of the sun on the back of my neck and squirmed, so she hugged me a little tighter. And then… … .

    “Hmm, good. You’re wearing the necklace that this body gave you well.”

    “That’s because the sun keeps telling me to wear it even when I sleep… … .”

    She smiled contentedly as she fiddled with the special necklace around my neck.

    This golden choker, made by the Sun himself, is said to be a special item made by melting the scales of her dragon.

    In addition, an incredibly large yellow diamond was placed on top of it, making it look like a dragon’s eye. Even a layman like me could tell at a glance that it was an incredible object, beyond my ability to estimate its value.

    “Then. You have to wear it when you’re sleeping, awake, and even when you’re eating. The jewels in it alone are more expensive than this entire penthouse.”

    “Why are you giving me such a precious thing… … .”

    “You said you would give me ‘yourself’. I just gave you my gratitude.”

    The pupils of the sun’s eyes, as he answered me, seemed strangely elongated vertically.

    Yes, this choker was a symbol of our relationship. Sometimes, I feel suffocated because of the choker I received in return, but I think it may be my imagination.

    “That, Mr. Sun. Wait a minute――”

    “Where are you going?”

    As I struggled to get out of Taeyang’s embrace, her voice immediately became cold.

    She seemed to think of me as a stuffed animal, and didn’t take too well to me leaving her sight.

    Even when I tried to go to the bathroom or go for a short walk, I had to endure her sharp gaze just like now.

    “I’m going to take care of something… … .”

    “Huh—yeah… … Really?”

    “Cow, cow, it’s urine… … because I drank too much water earlier.”

    “Okay, okay.”

    ‘Ah, I survived… … .’

    Just as I was about to let out a sigh of relief at Taeyang’s unexpectedly refreshing acceptance,

    “Put it here.”

    The sun pointed to his mouth with his finger, making a strangely lewd face with his mouth open and his tongue sticking out.

    “Huh, huh!?!?”

    “… … Hahahahahahaha! Just kidding, just kidding. Hurry up and come back.”

    “You were really surprised, Mr. Sun!”

    As I walked to the bathroom, relieved that her bombshell remark was a joke, a strange monologue passed through my ears.

    “Should I fill the diaper… … .”

    … … Anyway, sometimes I feel suffocated by Taeyang’s excessive attachment(?), but I guess it means that I am precious to her. In fact, she does everything I want.

    As I spend my daily life with the sun, having fun but sometimes feeling a surge of dopamine, sometimes the sun talks to himself strangely.

    “Hoohoo, the little one’s heart… … is beating in my hand.”

    At times like that, I felt a strange heat inside my chest, as if my heart was really in her hands. The warmth was black and sticky like hot tar, so it was a little painful at first, but now I’m used to it and it’s not that hard.

    At night, when I sleep in the arms of the sun, drenched in sweat, her love doll treatment becomes even worse. She uses all her arms and legs to completely embrace me and hold me tightly while I sleep.

    “Little one, you are… … mine forever. In this universe, only mine… … .”

    While the Sun’s muttering echoes in my ears, I, too, who was exhausted from the intense exercise, fall asleep as if I were sinking into the mud. Today, yesterday, and in fact, every day was a strange but fun day thanks to the Sun.

    I loved the sun.

    … … … … …

    I have a dream.

    I lived with Sister Ayoung in a secret sanctuary, a cabin in the forest filled with incense and flowers.

    “May we become better people today… … .”

    What woke me up again this morning was the dazzling morning sunlight streaming in through the window and the sound of Sister Ayoung’s prayer.

    The sight of Sister Ayoung kneeling and praying before a small statue of a beautiful goddess, as if she came out of an ancient myth, was as mystical and beautiful as ever.

    I tried to get up quietly so as not to disturb the nun’s worship, but she seemed to have noticed and naturally turned to look at me.

    “You’re awake, brother. Good night?”

    “Ah, yes… … .”

    Since I started living with Sister Ayoung, I haven’t been able to wake up before her even for a single day.

    Looking at it this way, it might sound like I’m an incredibly lazy person, but I couldn’t help it.

    That… … ‘ritual’ was an intense exercise where men and women became one and sweated together for hours… … so it was extremely tiring.

    “Would you like to eat first? Or take a bath? Or… … .”

    Sister Ayoung, who approached me with a kind smile, had a strangely shining eye in the last sentence.

    “You can continue last night’s ritual… …or… #◦

    “Oi, I’ll have dinner!”

    And I immediately answered, sensing the threat to my life in her eyes. If I woke up and continued the consciousness that had lasted for several hours, I might really turn into a mummy and die.

    “Ah… …I see. I’ll have it ready in ten minutes.”

    After hearing my answer, Sister Ayoung nodded once and left for the kitchen. Judging from her reaction, she seemed a little disappointed that I didn’t choose to continue the ritual… … I must have been mistaken, right?
