Tomorrow Would Have Been Too Late (TWHBTL)
Description
Ahn Seol-Ga grows up with Hong Jung Tae in the same poor neighborhood. Seol-Ga has always had a lively and competitive spirit while Jung Tae has always suffered from the hands of his father and is more of an introvert. The two make the perfect pair and quickly become best friends, but upon entering high school Jung Tae's father passes away and Jung Tae begins to blossom. He quickly becomes popular among other students and the relationship with Seol-Ga deteriorates. Jung Tae is then scouted by an entertainment agency and completely forgoes his relationship with Seol-Ga. Seol-Ga, feeling betrayed by her best friend, develops into her own character and begins to find out the truth behind her night-terrors and mysterious childhood.
The story traverses through the life of Seol-Ga as she overcomes her fears in order to become someone next to normal. Upon the abandonment by Jung Tae, she slowly thinks she's losing her mind with the repetitiveness of her life until she visited by an old nightmare that leaves her breathless. Her nightmares lead her to stumble upon her old childhood home in Busan. There she finds a mysterious yet kind Lee ToGun waiting for her. Can ToGun heal the wound inflicted by Jung Tae? Or will Jung Tae finally listen to his heart before his ego?
Foreword
PREVIEW
Seol-Ga: "I don't know when exactly it started--feels like it's been going on forever. There are periods when they get so terrifying I don't sleep for days, but that only makes it worse. Exhaustion just makes the nightmares all the more vivid, so I try forcing myself to sleep a little every night. I figured the shorter, blurred segments of sparatic nightmares would be better than seeing the high definition trailer of violence."
Dr. Kang: "Have you tried inducing your own sleep?"
Seol-Ga: "You mean taking sleeping pills? I've tried, but that only allows me to stay asleep longer. I don't need to sleep longer. I need the nightmares to stop. When I take the pills, I can't wake up on my own. I'm forced to finish the dreams. And then sometimes, when the dream is over, I wait in darkness until the sleeping pill wears off. It's like I'm trapped in my own mind."
Dr. Kang: "Can you ever remember the dreams?"
Seol-Ga: "No. That's why I'm here. I can never remember the dreams, just the feeling I get from them. When I wake, I feel terrified, my whole body is covered in a cold sweat, and I'm immobilized until I convince myself otherwise."
Dr. Kang: "If you can't remember the dreams, then how do you know they really happen?"
