At night, the great sage takes out the crystal bottle that the ruler of the underworld gave him earlier.
A spirit is released from the bottle, turning into an old lady.
His lips curve up and he chuckles,
"How come I bought the book in the spiritual realm but I feel like the underworld had more contribution in the story?"
The old lady also smiles.
"Thanks to Seon Mi's fairy-nim, I was able to make more beautiful memories together with Seon Mi in the book."
Although Seon Mi's parents in the book are just NPC, but her grandma from the book is actually formed by the spirit of her real grandma.
"Now, Seon Mi no longer needs my protection. The great sage equal to heaven, thank you very much."
"I'm entrusting you with my most precious granddaughter."
The great sage calls out to her, stopping for a moment before he speaks again.
"Well......I want to know how do you do her hair like the one she had when she was young....."
For this, was the reason why he asked for her grandma's spirit from the underworld.
.........
After some time, the old lady smiles and disappear into smoke.
Although they didn't talk much, but those few sentences meant all the promises in the world.
-------------------
When he returns to the house, she's sleeping with her head on the table.
The book that he gave her is lying open.
All those scenes and lines are exactly the same as what they remembered, it's their shared memories.
At first, he was thinking of teaching Tian-Shu a lesson for creating such messy plot. But, it sort of went OK in the end......
A piece of note falls from the book.
One side, it has his handwriting
– 'Jin Seon Mi, smile."
He picks up the note, noticing the writing on the other side. It's her handwriting:
-'Fairy-nim, don't worry.'
His slightly surprised, and then his lips curves into a smile.
--------------------------
She wakes up, surrounded by gentle light.
The moon is so big to the point that it looks like it's connected to the cliff.
It's giant like a porcelain plate, illuminating all the trees, rivers and the sea.
The scenery is too beautiful and stunning. For a moment, she thought she's back inside the book.
He hugs her, watching her intensely. She presses herself against his chest. His thick jacket wraps around the both of them......So warm.....
She looks up, this feels like dejavu. He's sitting there quietly, his profile is as stunning as ever.
Fairy-nim never realizes how incredible he can be.
The truth is that he is more human than any human. He's independent, lonely, strong but.....honest and kind.......
"Who said that Chang-O runs a rabbit farm?" She teases. "and who left you behind? You were always teasing me and making me cry, but I didn't run away."
"Well you believed it, didn't you?" He says light-heartedly.
"Yes, whatever you say, I believe it." She smiles and rubs her head to his chin.
She stops for a moment and speaks up,
"Thank you.......I feel braver now."
He wraps the jacket tighter around them.
"Really?"
To be honest, she's not sure too, but she's definitely understood a lot more things.
Maybe she can't forget the pain, she can't forget the dark past, but after receiving all the love, affection and his most sincere feelings have made her feel a little stronger.
She looks at the beautiful scenery and says : "When I'm more brave, then I will always be by your side, to protect you and make you happy."
His eyes widen in surprise and then deepens. Something is oozing out from his heart.
He starts to blush.
"Oi, Jin Seon Mi. I want to make something clear. That was the world inside the book, that's not the standard and I swear my powers are not that crappy......."
Why did he decide to keep that villain that would ultimately humiliate him?!
"That's fine." She smiles.
"What?!"
"I said, that's fine. Even if you are just a normal person, that's fine. You are you......just like you said, you will protect me and I will protect you." She looks at him and replies.
Although, a dream will end, but because the dream was sweet, those memories will become hope in reality, lasting forever.
He smiles with her.
He stretches his hand out under the moon, creating an endless amount of fireflies.
"Jin Seon Mi, you stole a kiss from me in the book, do you remember that?"
He asks.
"You were only 11 back then and you are already so perverted, tsk tsk."
"Well........" She looks at him,
"I might as well steal another one."
She holds his neck, bringing his lips to hers.
Her fairy-nim looks delicious tonight........let's just say that......she took advantage of him.
"Wrong angle."
He points it out for her, caressing her hair.
He adjusts their position and closes the distance again.
He's delighted.
She's normally so shy, for her to initiate kisses with him is a huge progress.
Well.......they have a lot~ of time to work on this slowly.
Jin Seon Mi.....I feel like I'm in a bliss right now.
His heart is filled with content.
The moon shines gently, filling the world with affection.
--------------
AN: This is the end of 'custom-made for you'!~ Yay!~ It was super sweet and Son Oh Gong was able to redeem some of his regrets about what happened to Seon Mi when he ran away from their contract.
To clarify, Yun-He has become a grim reaper for 81 years. he's no longer appearing as a child but as a grown-up young man. In the Peter Pan story, Seon Mi's NPC brother was actually Yun-He, when she called out to her brother during the fight, Yun-He appeared, he fought and protected her again.
The next arc is called 'Three bets'. It's VERY VERY VERY VERY long so please give me some time to translate. I promise, you guys will not be disappointed. ❤
