'The World of Mira'
Those tired-looking eyes opened and continued to stare in all directions. His forehead frowned slightly feeling the pain all over his body.
“Akh,” groaned the red pajama woman while lifting her upper body and leaving part of her body lying down.
It's the bathroom, Mira's in the bathroom and it looks like she's asleep here.
“Eungh, Den!” call Mira standing up trying to fight her dizziness and get out of the bathroom.
The toilet door opened and how sad he was to see this scene. He knew that Dennis didn't notice, but it was impossible that by this morning Dennis wouldn't be in the bathroom. Just to clean yourself up.
“Den, you are really mean to me.” muttered Mira staring softly at the neat bed, sounding she was so hurt to Dennis and—Jennie.
Mira again stepped through all the items in the room and her steps stopped in front of the door. Mira opened it slowly and when the door opened, she was surprised by a grandfather who looked down and looked up to see how Mira had reacted to it.
“Hurry home, tell your son and husband to find you. You're lost son.” said the grandfather staring pleading with Mira.
Mira stayed for a while and positioned herself as normal as possible even though her shocked and fearful gaze was still emanating. The woman's eyes continued to move up and down looking at the grandfather.
“You, who?” ask Mira curiously.
“I am the slave of the rightful owner of this house. If you don't want to be like me, you better leave!” grandfather's orders straightforwardly made Mira become increasingly clueless with this situation.
“What do you mean? This is my home.” Mira explained as she glanced around her house.
The sound of the door opening by itself without anyone coming out of the door. The old man looked at the door and looked back at Mira.
“Dennis, the man is under his command. They will make you the same fate as me and others.” said the grandfather with a quick intonation and sounded worried about something.
”Why? Dennis with whom?”
Now not only was the grandfather panicking, the young woman sounded desperate for an obvious answer from him.
“This house is covered in curses, son. I used to be a resident of this house, with my son, Hyeon Chul's parents" said the grandfather explaining what happened to this house, but pause for a moment. It took him a lot of strength to tell her the bitter things he was going through with his family.
Mira frowned for a moment at the word the grandfather carried the name Hyeon Chul there.
“Hufh, the point is that you have to get out of this world immediately and tell your husband and ask for help from him.”, obviously, Grandpa is the one who automatically makes Mira always remember him.
The woman was not entirely sure if she was in another world. But he immediately believed it when the air here was so hot and empty. Even the color of this nature is just dark, colorless.

The sound of the door opening showed Dennis' body not too exhausted because it was only 5 p.m. Indeed all normal workers must have gone home in the afternoon, but a thing that is rarely done by Dennis. He used to go home around 7 to 8 p.m.
“Honey, dad's home!” shouted Dennis stepped over a wide distance looking for the whereabouts of his son. He really wanted to know how his little girl was doing.
“Dad!” jennie shouted back running towards Dennis and hugged him tightly.
“Whoa, what's up? You miss dad? And where's your mother, heum?” dennis asked trying to look at his daughter's sweet face.
“Entah, I don't like mom. Mom just kept talking in Korean.” Jennie looked softly at Dennis.
“Really? Maybe now your mom is learning Korean.” guess Dennis logically.
The two children laughed lightly and walked to the sofa. Jennie quickly grabbed Dennis by the arm and leaned against the man's broad shoulder.
“Bad daddy! Now mom is like that because dad.” muttered Jennie staring blankly in front.
Dennis turned to Jennie who had an annoyed face mixed with sadness.
“Daddy ignored mom until mom became like this,” Jennie obviously looked at Dennis wistfully. He looked as if he was asking his father to go back to his mother.
Dennis wanted to answer his son's statement but he didn't know what to say. The man only said softly without any definite clarity. He just kept staring at his son, and Jennie looked at him too. A faint smile emerged from Dennis' lips.
“What do you guys do?” ask Mira who is on the stairs.
“What's wrong, ma'am. What is mom doing? Come here.” invite Jennie to tell Mira to come to them, which the woman responded well.
“Mommy has cooked a lot. Let's eat!” mira smiled sweetly at the two humans.
“Yes, alright ma'am. Looks like dad is also starting to get hungry.” sideline Dennis moved from his seat, and passed Mira who looked at him closely with a wry smile printed on the woman's lips.
“Eum, mom. I had a dream last night that my mother was asleep and fell. But I don't know when mom was where.” Jennie's story on the sidelines of her regular meals.
Mira turned to Jennie and she smiled at her son.
“Really?” mira's muttering makes Jennie nods to justify her story.
Dennis has always been a good listener between these two women. The man just glanced alternately at them.
“Then after that I immediately woke up, but I felt that my mother was trapped.” Jennie continued seriously eating her fruitful food.
Mira smiled wryly at Jennie who was not aware of the incident. The smile was recorded in Dennis's sight, and of course the man doubted Mira now as the mother of his son.

Dinner last night was quieter, even Dennis was tingling because he was too tense.
Dennis stared blankly at the corner of his room leaving only a glimmer of light from the table lamp.
“Mira,” call Dennis to his wife who is preparing to lie down to sleep.
“Heum? Why?” tanya Mira sounded careless because her husband disturbed her to sleep.
“Why do you always speak Korean dialect?” tanya Dennis looked at Mira sharply and questioningly.
“That's up to me.” Mira replied making Dennis frown in surprise.
The Mira he knew had never said such a short and thin word before.
“Mira, did you hear me!” call Dennis back to try to wake up Mira who is lying down.
Either this woman doesn't want to answer, or she doesn't know the language Dennis spoke, the language of her own country. Dennis hissed frustratedly because Mira's answer was only limited to the wind.
'Disnis' Subconscious Nature'
“**Dennis, Dennis! Did you hear me?!" mira's screams sounded very far away, and woke Dennis who started to open his eyes.
The man turned his head next to the part of his bed that Mira occupied, but the man was very sure that the woman next to him was not Mira.
The man moved backwards and got off his bed with no intention of waking the woman beside him.
“Den!” call the same voice as Mira. And back to make Dennis go further leaving a 'Mira' there.
But his movements were known to the woman, and it was exactly what Dennis felt. He is not Mira but someone who seems very eager to kill him through the path of Mira's body. The woman quickly got out of bed and walked briskly towards the irregular breathing Dennis.
Perplexed as to what to do, Dennis thoughtlessly ran out of the room and immediately closed the door.
