Hwayugi fanfic (Korean odyssey) : Guardian

Children part 2

She loves to spend her time in the bookstore.

When time is abundant, she starts to slowly think about all the things that she could possibly do.

In her previous life, she chose to start working when was still young. She worked hard everyday and life was simple and never deviated from its schedule. Because she can't interact closely with human, she chooses to start a special real estate agent and worked with ghosts and spirits. But this life, it's not the same anymore.

She wants to treasure her time and herself more. If she doesn't look after herself well then it's also disrespectful to all of his efforts.

So, that's why, for her own happiness, she should carefully choose something that she really enjoys and wants to do. She can stay in the bookstore to search for things that she likes.

How about a sauce maker? But then it's probably difficult to earn good pays. How about she open a bookstore?? Just like how General winter opened his ice-cream shop and summer fairy had her own bar.

As she's thinking about all of these things, she starts to fall asleep on the table.

In her hazy mind, all the sounds from her surrounding begin to fade. She can feel her body floating in a strange space........

In the shadow, a child's silhouette appears.

"Who's that......"

She tries to push the thick fog aside to get a good look.

"..........Seon Mi, come and play with me............"

"Did you.........forget our promise?"

A child's voice echoes from the dark.

Who is it??

"Did you.......forget about me?..........We promised to stay together............why, why did you forget?..........."

A pair of dirty shoes walks out from the shadow.

And then.......a pair of legs marked with scars.

Her heart trembles and took a step back subconsciously, hitting an.......object. She turns around, in the dimly lit space, there is a ..........girl with long hair, staring into her eyes.

That girl, her hands are covered in blood. Her hair drapes messily over her face. But her face was shocked her the most.

That is............

That girl is ..................her younger self!!!

"BANG!!"

She suddenly woke up from her dream and fell off her chair, knocking over all the books onto the ground.

Her clothes are drenched in cold sweat.

That dream...........

Suddenly, a well dressed young boy stood in front of her. However, something about the look in his eyes doesn't look normal. This boy reached out to her and quickly withdraws his hand.

His hands........

"My apologies, young miss. Did this child cause you any troubles?"

Behind that boy, stands a gentleman who's wearing glasses.

"A-chi, apologize now."

She looks at the duo with confusion, behind the man, a group of paparazzi and reporters are holding their cameras. Looks like this man is someone famous. Then, is this boy his child?

"He didn't do anything wrong.....I fell down myself......." She picks the books off the ground, throwing glances towards the boy.

That child.........

How come his eyes look so........dead.....there's no hint of liveliness and looks so .......lifeless.........

But, under the man's gaze, the boy gave her a bow obediently.

The crowd cheers. The man gestures towards the boy. He walks closer to the man, receiving a pat on his head. But, she saw.......the boy's body slightly trembled.

What ..........what is this uncomfortable feeling?

There are no evil spirits around, but.........why does she feel this way?

She wipes away the cold sweat from her forehead, a promotional poster caught her eyes.

"Author Wen Siwon, the leading force in children literature. He's also a kind fundraiser, he has donated to many children hospital, orphanage and are well received and loved by the public. Due to his popularity, his books received a lot of attention. 600 thousands copies of his books were sold in an instance!"

On the poster, was an enlarged image of the man she just saw.
