1 Chapter 1: [Light Keiran (1)]

My name is Kim Su-Jin.

"Ah! Your parents must really cherish you!"

The name Su-Jin holds such a beautiful meaning, symbolizing the heartfelt wishes of your parents to have a long and healthy life. It's truly enchanting.

That's what I also thought, however that was beyond the truth.

"I wish you could just die already!"

"Disappear from our life forever!"

Those hurtful words, filled with malice and disdain, echo in my mind. How could someone utter such cruel words to another? Especially to their own child? It's unfathomable.

As I slowly opened my heavy eyelids, questions instantly flooded my mind.

'Where am I?' I wondered, staring up at the unfamiliar wooden ceiling.

Confusion washed over me as I tried to piece together my surroundings.

'Who...am I?' I asked myself, feeling a sense of detachment from my own identity.

I tried to recall what had happened before I found myself in this strange place. I remembered reading a novel called <<Lost in Pages>> by the author 'Ailisue' before falling asleep. But for some reason, the details of the story eluded me, as if they were just fleeting dream.

Shaking off the confusion, I sat up and took in my surroundings. I found myself in a small bedroom adorned with intricate wooden mechanics. The beauty of the craftsmanship caught my eye, but I couldn't feel any other emotion stirring within me. It was as if my ability to feel had been lost long ago.

Surprisingly, I didn't feel any panic or fear at this moment. Instead, there was only a deep emptiness that seemed all too familiar. It was a void that had become a part of me after 'that' happened.

As I stood up and touched the cold floor with my bare feet, I continued to explore the room. My gaze landed on a human-sized mirror, and I couldn't help but be drawn to it. The reflection staring back at me was not my own familiar face, but that of someone else.

Intrigued, I stepped closer to the mirror, my hand trembling as I reached out to touch the side of my face. I tilted my head and moved my body, watching as the mirror perfectly replicated my every movement. It was me, and yet, it wasn't. I had somehow possessed the body of a person named Light Keiran.

With this realization, everything came rushing back to me. My name is Kim Su-Jin, and I had somehow become intertwined with Light Keiran's existence.
