Chapter 300 - Storeroom (1/2)

At this point, Jinhee had some difficulty comprehending what the old man had just said and voiced out, ”W-What?”

All those aches she felt were not real; they were merely a dream. That was not something Jinhee could bring herself to believe. Everything was too realistic to be unreal; a dream would not be able to evoke such emotions within her.

”This can't be a dream. I felt all of that,” Jinhee said, ”How did they all turn out to be a mere dream?”

”Dear, the truth will be hard for you to accept; I am aware of that. But Dear, there is a lot more to come, and you need to be stronger,” the Old Man vocalised.

”More?” Jinhee raised one of her eyebrows.

The Old Man nodded and expressed, ”I will be telling you a story. Just listen to it silently, and all of your questions will be answered.”

”A story? Of what kind?” she asked.

”It is a tragic story that did not have any kind of happy ending. It revolved around a girl and two boys,” the Old Man vocalised, ”This took place centuries ago.”

”What is the meaning behind telling me this story all of a sudden? There must be a reason behind it,” Jinhee spoke out.

”On second thought, showing is better than narrating the entire thing. Close your eyes. We are in for a bumpy ride,” the Old Man voiced out before snapping his fingers together.

At the sound of that, Soohyun felt a sharp ache go through her forehead, and she let out a wince. Extending her hand upwards, she held her head in order to ease the pain that went through it.

”Ah!” she exclaimed before her consciousness faded away.

Darkness surrounded her from both her sides, and she could not guess where she was currently at. At that moment, the scene before her changed, and it seemed that she was in some kind of manor in some ancient setting.

Her eyes roamed around the place, and she could not guess the reason behind her being here. Roaming her eyes around the place, she took a step forward and tried to search for any signs of human presence.

That's when a sight of a girl fell in her eyes. Lee Jinhee's eyes widened at how that girl resembled her. Extending her hand, Jinhee touched her cheeks.

At that moment, Jinhee heard a loud sound, and her eyes narrowed at the scene before her. The girl, who seemed strangely like her, was slapped by someone, and when Jinhee's eyes fell on that person, they dilated further.

'Jinkyung' stood before that girl and slapped her cheeks. She had no inkling on what was currently happening, but the scene before her was oddly familiar.

”Lee Jinhee, how dare you go an seduce Jaehyun? He belongs to me. Remember that clearly! Don't go around seducing him!” 'Jinkyung' yelled.
