Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

"NO, HYUNGSIK! YOU CAN'T DIE LIKE THAT! I WILL KILL THAT EUNWOO FOR YOU!"

Tears streamed down Ryu Yoonmi's eyes while she stared at the screen before her. Both of her eyes were now red due to all the crying. The laptop screen before her displayed the contents of a novel.

After Ryu Yoonmi was done with reading this part of the story, she was unable to control the tears from falling down her eyes. The story took a sad turn when her favourite character was killed due to the male lead.

"Yoonmi, stop shouting at the middle of night and let me sleep for God's sake!" her friend exclaimed— annoyance visible in her voice.

Her friend sat up on the bed behind Yoonmi and glared at the figure of the girl sitting before the laptop. The dark room was illuminated by the bright light from the laptop's screen.

While her bottom lip protruded forward, a pout formed on Yoonmi's face, and turning her head back, she faced her roommate. 

The tears stained her cheeks while she spoke out, "Yoojung, Hyungsik died! That Eunwoo is such a bastard! I want to kill him! How can that bastard be this heartless!? Seriously—"

Before Yoonmi was able to continue further, Yoojung raised her pillow and hit Yoonmi at the face with it before voicing out, "I swear Yoonmi if you don't get in the bed right now, I will make sure drown that laptop of yours."

Yoonmi's eyes widened at that, and bringing her hand over to her laptop, she hugged it protectively before glaring at Yoojung.

"How can you even think of such a horrendous thing? How will I continue to read 'CEO's forceful love' if you break this precious laptop of mine?" Yoonmi stated.

"CEO's forceful love? Is that the name of it? What are you even reading these days? I will kick you out of my apartment if you don't quit with reading this every night!" 

Yoonmi let out a sigh and spoke out, "Fine, fine, I will go to the bed now. But I swear I will personally haunt down the author if she doesn't make that Eunwoo suffer. My baby suffered way too much, and now, he gets killed? I swear—"

"Shut up, you damned fangirl!"

Knowing that Yoojung will be getting further angered if she continued and her anger was most definitely not a good thing, Yoonmi shut her mouth regardless of how much she wanted to curse out at Eunwoo.

Closing the screen of her laptop, she got up from the chair and started walking towards the bed. Picking up the previously thrown pillow on the way, she pulled the blanket from beside Yoonmi and got into the bed beside her.

Staring at the ceiling, Yoonmi spoke out, "If only I was able to enter into the novel, I would not let my Hyungsik suffer through such a horrendous ending."

"Idiot, now sleep," Yoojung said.

Nodding her head, Yoonmi closed her eyes, and instantly, she found herself losing her consciousness. As Yoonmi was being taken into her Dreamland, she didn't know that it was more than a dream.

°°°

Yoonmi found herself drowning. The water pushed her down, and she was sinking further into it. Her limbs were completely numb, and regardless of how hard she tried, she was unable to move them.

Breathing was starting to get difficult for her, and slowly she started to open her eyes. Her eyes caught in a blurry vision of a figure swimming towards her.

Other than the outline of that figure, she was unable to make out anything else. The figure extended both of its hands towards her and grabbed on to both of her wrist.

Finding herself feeling secure in those arms, she closed her eyes and stopped fighting the d.e.s.i.r.e to go back to the sleep.

°°°

Yoonmi coughed vehemently while she opened her eyes slightly. The bright light from the sun hit her eyes, causing her to close them completely. Unlike before, she was able to move her limbs currently.

A salty taste was present in her tongue, and she wondered about the reason behind it. The last thing she could recall was getting into the bed with Yoojung.

Was this a dream of hers?

"Are you fine, Miss?" She heard someone ask her in English. 

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, she opened her eyes gradually to take a look at the person. The voice felt quite melodious yet soothing at the same time; it was Yoonmi's favourite type of voice. 

She pressed her palms on the sand while she sat up. The sand felt quite hot to the touch, and at this moment, the feeling was too tangible for her for it to be a dream.

Staring at her surroundings, Yoonmi could see that she was at a beach. The shouts and squeals of the people around her reached into her ears distinctly, making her further awake.

His light brown hair was drenched as a gentle expression sat on his face, making her heart skip a beat. At this moment, the only word that came in her mind was angelic. That was the perfect way to describe how his visuals were.

Regardless of how his face appeared, his c.h.e.s.t and arms were completely well-built and well defined. This made her wonder about how it will be like to be carried by them.

That's when, Yoonmi decided that if it was a dream, she didn't want to wake up from it. The man before her was too charming, and she could almost feel herself drooling at him.

Nodding her head, she replied in English: "Yes, I feel fine."
