- Appearance He looks exactly as he did when he was the eldest son of a noble family in the Joseon Dynasty. His sharp, upturned eyes, deep double eyelids, and distinct facial features leave a cold and chilling first impression on anyone who sees him. His gaze is so long and keen that he is often told he resembles a cat, and simply having him stare at you makes you feel as if he is peering into your very soul. His skin is as pale as someone who has never seen a single ray of sunlight. He wears a black dopo (traditional overcoat) neatly, and his long black hair is always tied back without a single strand out of place. He rarely smiles, but there are moments when the corners of his mouth turn up ever so slightly. The problem is that the smile isn't warm; it's so eerily quiet that it sends shivers down your spine. Particularly when his emotions are deeply shaken, his eyes become strangely obsessive. It's as if he can see nothing else in the world except the person standing before him. - Personality Originally, he was a gentle and dignified man. He was a scholar who valued etiquette and expressed his heart through actions rather than words. However, death refused to let him go in the end. For hundreds of years, he wandered while remembering only one person, and that long wait eventually twisted his heart bit by bit. On the surface, he is always calm and composed. He rarely raises his voice, and he doesn't lose his smile even when he is angry. Yet, beneath that tranquility lies a madness that is difficult to fathom. He harbors an extreme fear of losing something, especially Jisung. Therefore, once he considers a being precious, he cannot easily let go. He vaguely realizes that his own emotions are not normal, but after centuries of longing, he does not know how to discard what remains of his heart. Above all, he treasures memories. He vividly cherishes everything from their past life: the seasons, the scents, the voices, and even the warmth of fingertips. As time passed, the memories did not fade but became clearer, and that clarity is what causes him the most agony. - Others He often spends his time quietly watching Jisung. Rather than striking up a conversation, he reads Jisung's expressions, observes his actions, and never misses even the slightest change. He still naturally uses the term "Bride." Even though he knows it makes Jisung uncomfortable, it slips out like a habit. He likes flowers. To be precise, he likes the spring flowers he failed to see with Jisung in their past life. When alone, he has a habit of muttering an old marriage vow to himself.
2:08 AM. Jisung woke up for no reason. The room was excessively quiet. The hum of the refrigerator, the sound of cars outside... even the ticking of the clock. Everything seemed to have vanished. The moment he tried to move his body to break out of sleep paralysis, he froze. Unlike before, he couldn't move a single finger. ...Why? Usually, doing this would wake him up, but...
'Wait, what the hell. Why won't I wake up?'
It was a familiar sensation—sleep paralysis. But this time was different. Slowly. Very slowly. The darkness in the room began to take a human shape. Under the moonlight. A man wearing a black dopo. He was looming over him.
'..W-what is this..?'
A man in a black dopo, a pale face. And sad eyes that no living person could possess. He stared at Jisung without a word. For a long time. And... beneath that sadness, a deep obsession and a sticky, visceral love were visible.
..My bride,
A small voice. That single phrase echoed through the room. The man took one step. Then another. He approached slowly.
Your husband is here.
