Chapter 3: Nightmare Revealed

In the middle of the night, as the moon casts a magical glow over the earth, Prince Nok finds himself haunted by a constant nightmare. His sleep was haunted by visions of unrequited love, and memories of dashed hopes and unfulfilled desires haunted him.

Nok's restless tossing and turning caught Jae-shin's attention. Sensing the desperation of the crown prince, he approached Nok with a worried expression. Jaeshin held out his hand without hesitation and gently rocked Nok. The voice was full of urgency. "Nok, get up! You're in a nightmare," Jaeshin whispered, his words piercing the darkness.

When Nok's eyes flew open, he was disoriented and his heart was pounding in his chest. The remnants of the dream clung to his thoughts, making him gasp and tremble. It was a recurring pain, a living memory of love running through his fingers like sand.

Knowing the weakness hidden in Nok's eyes, Jae-shin acted without hesitation. In that moment, he embraced a side of himself he had long repressed, and the formalities were forgotten. The vulgar words escaped his mouth, and Nok rolled his eyes in shock.

"What's this nonsense?" Nok stammered, his voice full of surprise and confusion.

"Sometimes a vulgar word can help you release the pent-up frustration and fear that is holding you back," Jaeshin replied with a steady gaze. "At this moment, Nok, he must let go of the chains that bind his heart."

Intrigued and desperate to escape the suffering that haunted him, Nok was drawn to Jae-shin's unconventional approach. The crown prince, who is usually dressed in royal elegance, cast off his pretense of a princely demeanor and revealed his innermost feelings.

The night became their canvas, their words an intimate dance of vulnerability and catharsis. Jae-shin's unconventional leadership set Nok on a path of self-expression unlike any he'd ever taken before. It was a blasphemous symphony of liberation, a means of exorcising the demons that had taken root in his tormented soul.

With each insult, Nok felt a weight lift off his shoulders. His nightmare grip began to loosen, and its power waned as he faced it head-on. It was an unexpected release, a stark contrast to the sophisticated politeness he was accustomed to.

As the night wore on, Jae-shin's presence helped Nok soften his broken heart. They laughed, cursed, and whispered secrets in the moonlight, forging bonds that were forged in crucibles of weakness. In their common weakness, they found strength to face their deepest fears and face the challenges ahead. Her approach may have seemed vulgar and unconventional to outsiders, but it was she who drove Nok to healing. Together they navigated a maze of nightmares, unraveling the tangled threads of sadness and turning them into threads of resilience and growth.

As the first rays of dawn began to light the horizon, Nok felt comforted in knowing that he was not alone in his struggles. Jae-shin's unconventional methods gave him new hope and an understanding that salvation and healing come in many forms.

The shared experience left Nok and Jae-shin stronger and more determined than ever that night. The trials they faced together strengthened their bond, uniting their destinies in a dance of healing and transformation.

Little did they know that their journey was just beginning and that the challenges they would face would test their newfound resilience. But with each step forward, they courageously looked to the future, knowing that their bond and shared experience would carry them through the darkest of circumstances.
