Ha Neul’s POV
“Hey guys!” I greeted my mom and brother once I entered the house. On my way here I was so worried about Jong In being found out that I literally run from the subway to here.
From what I see though, nothing has happened. My mom and brother were both sitting on the couch, staring at me at the same time. “Dumbo did you run here? Why are you so red?” gosh this brat and his nicknames.
I don’t know how he does it but everyday he has a new nickname for me. I love it really but not today. “What? Of course not. Why would I run here?

It has stopped for a long time, you know too well” I smiled so as to reassure them that everything is fine. Truth is, i haven’t really been able to sleep well these past nights, but that doesn’t mean I’m having the night terrors back.
I had suffered a whole deal back then, especially when I was a kid. I didn’t know well back then that the dreams of me dying weren’t actually happening in this life, heck I wasn’t even aware that I was reincarnated, so having something like this happen to me was really scary. Back then of course my dad would be the one to calm me down, because my mom would cry with me, my brother was just a baby at that time so he was never aware of it, not until we were both older though.
That’s why when my dad was gone from th
