aerin had always known she was different. from a young age, she'd been "the weird kid" at school— the one who spoke too much about dreams, things no one else could see. she'd casually mention her classmates' nightmares in conversations, warning them about dangers they hadn't told anyone about. her teachers would exchange puzzled glances, and the other kids avoided her.
even at home, things weren't much better. her parents loved her, but they didn't understand. they dismissed her strange remarks as overactive imagination. "it's just dreams aerin. they don't mean anything," her mother would say, brushing off the unease aerin felt every time she glimpsed the dark corners of someone's mind.
but aerin knew better. dreams did mean something. she could see it—the unspoken fears, hidden anxieties, and suppressed emotions that bubbled up those surreal landscapes. what she didn't know was why she had this strange connection, or why no one else seemed to understand. years of being labeled "odd" had taught her to keep quiet, to stop mentioning the dreams. but she never stopped wandering through them. until one night, when she slipped into a dream far more chaotic and dangerous than any she had ever encountered. a dream that belonged to someone she recognized immediately.
huh yunjin—the confident, untouchable idol the world adored— was standing in the middle of a twinsting maze, staring into a fractured mirror. and for the first time, aerin felt more than just curiosity. this was more than just a dream. it was a cry for help.
