Dr. Kim nodded, looking for his clothes and then remembering that there were none.
"But maybe it's just a dream. It is no longer enough for him to take everything away from me, he must also take my time with you, and even my sleep… " He turned to Ye Rim again with a loving and apologetic look.
"Well, unfortunately he can't get out of our lives until he returns unnie Ji Hyeon," Ye Rim said thoughtfully, and sat on the bed as well. "But if it upsets you so much ... It's because you think it's more than a dream, isn't it?"
"Yes, Ye Rim. It seems like I've been failing to connect things im my head. But, when I'm with you, I'm able to see through the mists of my dreams.Like… You acted like a shining star, perhaps?"
"Uh, yes. It fits me. I'm a shining star in the sky." Ye Rim mocked with a grin. "I'm glad you feel I'm helping… But perhaps. We're healing each other. I know I changed a lot because of you, and I'm glad You made me see I armored myself to tightly.. Because I was afraid to fail in more things than my career."
"Uh, I don't believe you are saying it!" Jun Hyeon exclaimed. "Is Ye Rim was softening because of me?"
"Don't be a jerk!" she slapped his bare back, and he squinted his eyes in surprise. "I mean… Perhaps you are becoming increasingly aware of things you forgot or thought too disturbing to remember, or admit. I don't know. Dreams always bring truths. I discovered I dreamed of the Fairy Eater since I was a child. I just didn't know I knew it, or how I knew it. But my dreams were making me look to something I was trying not to see." She now was rubbing his back, comforting him. Jun Hyeon rested his head on her lap for a moment, allowing himself to receive his lover's affection.
He thought hard on it. His recurring dreams about the fire. If it made some sense, he was just ignoring something important from those dreams. Something he knew all along.
"January 25, in fact, is the date of my ski accident in Switzerland."
It was only when he said that, that is, when the words came out of his mouth, that Jun Hyeon had the shock of the truth. When several pieces of the puzzle suddenly made sense.
When the boy's face at the hospital in Switzerland made sense in his mind, and when several small events, clues, and sensations made sense. All at once.
Jun Hyeon froze at his shock.

Eun Ha placed the steaming rice on the table, with a smile,
"You must eat, Chang Mi. I did for you! And for Mr. Ahn, too."
"Noona, you shouldn't," mumbled the student. "She is very busy taking care of the Master Shin. In fact, with all the things you have to do, your fashion collection, your business meetings, your studies for the fairy council meeting, and still taking care of Hunter Shin ... Isn't that too much? There is no need to cook."
"Uhn, but you have had a bad time too, and you are far from your mother! Isn't my food as tasty as Ms. Yoo's?"
Chang Mi quickly dug the spoon into the bowl and filled it with rice, stuffing it in his mouth with an explicit gluttony,
"OF COURSE NO! I SAY, IT'S BETTER! MUCH BETTER! YUMMMM! NOM NOM!"
Eun Ha seemed satisfied as the half fairy ate as a savage, and placed side dishes on the table. Mr. Ahn helped her distribute the dishes, and they sat down. Chang Mi asked, still chewing,
"Your mood is great today, Noona."
"Yes! After all, I KNOW that things are looking up. I got to talk to Detective Ji last night. He wanted news. But he ended up saying that there is an arrest warrant for Dae Won. So I think they will arrest Lee today."
That man's name made him angry, but it also caused another kind of feeling that Chang Mi couldn't help. That bastard had beaten him and Chang Mi thought he was going to die in front of that mansion, without even knowing the reason.
Thinking of it made her heart race, the student's throat tightened and his fingers tingled with magic electricity. Chang Mi was smart enough to wonder if those were symptoms of panic.
'Am I a fearful weakling? Am I suffering from panic syndrome with the mere mention of that… bastard psychopath's name?' he wondered, feeling like crap.
His eyes blurred for a moment, and he felt like he was going to start all over again. 'Leave me in peace! Leave me alone!' he thought, but that alone was not able to convince his father, the Devourer, to stop showing him everything he wanted Chang Mi to see, for some obscure and sordid reason.
This time, he was in a police car. The sensation was that he was close to the roof, over the head of one of the policemen in the passenger seat. The driver said something to the person in the back seat, but Chang Mi heed no attention to what he was saying.
He just looked back, as if it were the policeman himself turning over his shoulder.
'What is it? Am I seeing through the eyes of a possessed person?' he asked himself. But his shock was greater when he saw that, in the back seat, Detective Ji smirked slightly, without answering the comment of the police officer he was driving.
Beside him was Lee Dae Won, handcuffed.
Musician Lee had his head down, seeming to want to ignore what was going on around him.
Then, suddenly, the policeman in the passenger seat pushed the steering wheel sharply. The driver couldn't keep up, and lost control, when he pushed back his colleague and tried to avoid going off the road.
Screeching tires, the police's car spun on the wet track.
