Dreams from 20 April 2021

Since I was young, I possessed the ability to induce nightmares in people around me. This power caused numerous misunderstandings and difficulties in forming friendships, leading me to avoid close relationships. However, with time, I learned to control my powers and started using them only on those who deserved it. Over the years, my daily routine consisted of attending online classes, running errands, and returning home. Occasionally, I would help others when trouble arose.

One day, despite saving someone as usual, the person I rescued persistently tried to become my friend. After years of solitude, this individual was the only one who made repeated attempts to befriend me. However, I felt annoyed by their persistence and hesitantly allowed them into my life, only to discover that they were wealthy. They showered me with gifts and made efforts to open me up, but I kept my distance, fearing they would face the same fate as my previous friends.

One day, this friend tricked me into attending a party and hired a beauty team to dress me up and enhance my appearance. It had been years since I had dressed up, so I felt out of place and uncomfortable.

At the party, I encountered my "unnie" (older sister figure), who questioned why I was there, knowing my aversion to parties and heels. I explained that I was coerced into attending by a friend. Unnie, who served as my secretary, handled the front lines while I operated my businesses behind the scenes. She also helped me with my missions. My friend discovered our connection and, to maintain our secrecy as beings from a different world, we claimed to have met through networking while concealing our true identities.

As the party progressed, I noticed people looking at me strangely. When I asked my friend and unnie about it, they mentioned that my attractive appearance, resulting from the makeover, drew attention. Initially, I didn't believe them. However, as the evening unfolded, a guy stared at me and suddenly dragged me away from the party. Despite my inquiries, he remained silent.

I managed to free myself from his grasp, and we experienced a brief tremor as if escaping from something. He continued to pull me along while I captured pictures of the beautiful scenery we encountered. Eventually, we evaded the commotion and found ourselves surrounded by numerous people. Using my powers, I made them fall asleep and subjected them to nightmares. The guy was shocked by what he witnessed, and once everyone was asleep, we made our escape.

He expressed a desire to stay by my side, but I rejected him. However, he persistently pursued me and attempted to get closer through my friend. I questioned why he still wanted to befriend me, especially after witnessing the nightmares I could inflict. He explained that he was interested in researching me. Despite my rejection, he continued to pursue me until we eventually became friends. As time passed, he started living with me while researching my abilities. He was astonished to witness my strong control over my powers and inquired about my methods.

I informed him that it came with experience and time. Then, he surprised me by requesting to sleep beside me. I was taken aback by the proposition and learned that his intentions were to observe what happened during my sleep-induced trances. However, due to my powers causing nightmares, which worsened my insomnia, I rejected his request, even though he was incredibly cute.

One day, feeling excessively tired and exhausted, he was present in my house while I slept. He searched for me and, finding me asleep, sat by my side and observed me. As nightmares plagued me, he realized the cause and used his power to grant me a restful sleep.

The following morning, I woke up feeling refreshed, a sensation I had never experienced before. I couldn't help but wonder what had happened. During this time, he continued to ask me to sleep beside him, and occasionally, I would enjoy a restful night. After two years had passed, he asked me again, and I finally gave in and agreed. As he conducted his research, I started to experience improved sleep, and my insomnia gradually decreased.

However, once his research was complete, he informed me that he had to leave and thanked me for everything. I hadn't seen him for a long time, and my insomnia returned to haunt me. I believed that his presence had been instrumental in improving my sleep quality.

Several years later, he reappeared in my life, and we began meeting up for various activities, such as watching movies and going ice skating. One day, he took me to a breathtaking location, and after I took some photos, he approached me and asked if I had feelings for him. Although I had developed an affection for him and missed him, I knew that pursuing a relationship was impossible. I replied with a no, which caused him to label me a liar. He then kissed me, and I pushed him away, to which he simply smiled.

I attempted to avoid him at all costs, but he remained persistent. Eventually, he surprised me by showing up at my house with his luggage and declaring his intention to move in. Despite my attempts to prevent him from entering, he didn't care. He made it clear that if I kicked him out, my insomnia would return, leaving me no choice. He declared that he would woo me until the end.

After several months, I began enjoying numerous restful nights, and he continually carried out actions that made my heart race. His adorable and handsome nature posed a challenge, but I managed to maintain my composure and ignore him. Each time he made a move, he would give me a sly smile.

One day, he tricked me into revealing my true feelings and I was flustered and avoided him at all caused. He then did this:

He didn't allow me to escape, and as a result, we became a couple. Initially, I was apprehensive about opening up and feared that he wouldn't accept me, especially considering that I was from another world and afraid of passing on my nightmares to him. It was a bumpy road, but he consistently reassured me and continued to court me. Gradually, he managed to break through my barriers and revealed that he possessed the power to give pleasant dreams. I was shocked, and our romance deepened even further.
