From the author:
First of all, first of all, thank you so much for reading and leaving comments ♡♡♡♡ (I confess I follow everyone here).
This was probably one of the most processed stories I've ever written and it's great that you enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed seeing you guys busting your heads to find out who it was. And I wanted to say to you:
"No, it's not him," - but I couldn't :3
Secondly, there are clues from the beginning of the story that it was a dream:
} In the first paragraph of Act 1, the phrase "in a dark corner of the mind, an object materializes..." I wanted to imagine how when you fall asleep, at first everything is in darkness, and little by little you start imagining things.
} Referring to the time that didn't go by the clock, many people say that in sleep, if you look at the clock, time doesn't run.
} The perfect white snow ("like a white blanket covering sleep") that Seokmin describes before he was killed is the white blanket that covered Wonwoo while he slept.
} The fact that this doesn't explain things like where they left the bodies or exactly what the house was like or what they were wearing, because in a dream many of those things don't matter.
} Every time I mentioned a bottomless ceiling, a dark place, or a monster from nightmares, those were also dream references.
} The last scene of the butterfly fighting the cold wanted to be taken as if Jihoon was watching her after everything that happened. It's a metaphor, the butterfly was the victim fighting for her life and Jihoon was the cold that killed her.
I leave it as you want, maybe the point is that I saw the same butterfly combined with the cold, it already happened in another life, or in a parallel reality or about to happen in the next life, whatever you want :3
Again, thank you so much for loving this little story <3
You can post your messages of hate and anger here >.<

Words from the translator: I'm not really interested in this author's work, so I will only judge this fanfic. All I will say is purely my opinion!!! You have every right to disagree with me! You can write here any comments at all, except those that are shitting on the characters without any normal reason! I ask you to present your comments in a neutral way, so that everyone can decide for himself whether he likes this person or not, and not to put in front of the fact that "He is bad, hit him or the author (most likely it will not be about the author, but about me, the translator) here". Yes, you can talk about the bad qualities of the personality, but again nothing just happens and everything is explained during the story. Now we can get started. - I thought the size of Midi (well about 40-50 pages) would be for sure, but no. The description and the fanfic itself are incredibly cool to me, but the ending.....↘️↘️↘️↘️ I'm only a translator and I can't change the story dramatically (for example, add an additional part, kill someone, change the ending and so on). I didn't expect the ending to be like this. I didn't want to believe it was a dream. I always get upset when I realize that it was all just a dream.... Well, why was it all made up if it was just a dream? Well, thanks to the pineapples, everyone's alive. - The fact that the author gave examples in this part, that indicated that it was a dream, well, frankly, nonsense. I didn't even realize it was a dream myself. What's a dream if I couldn't even guess who the killer was? - Aaaaaaah, it makes me sad that this story is very small but very interesting🥹 that's why the killer was revealed quickly. - The atmosphere, the feelings, the fear, the murders are all just incredibly written! I was roaring and praying for Hansol to not turn out to be the killer, for her and Seungwanny to be reunited, for there not to be too much tragedy. Oh boy, this list could go on for a long time. - A bit of contradictory feelings are forming.... It seems to end well, but the dream... Simultaneously wishing that the ending wasn't a dream and stayed that way, but also wishing that everyone lived... I was left with a not so pleasant residue. And so, in the end I want to say that for me this is the best fanfic that I am proud to have translated and edited very well. And I want to thank you who are reading this chapter so far, you are great for reading this fanfic, liking it, commenting, whatever! Either way it's a pleasure! And I wish you a good night, if you're having a night.
