“…”

Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I thought that I was definitely hallucinating. A girl in the full bloom of her teen years slowly blinked her brown eyes while observing meticulously her hair.

“It’s really interesting how it expands in all directions.”

Maybe a spirit placed a bomb in my hair and detonated it while I was sleeping, since with that hair I could easily win against the king of the forest in a competition of manes.

“Ugh… for God’s sake, damn me and my bad habit of sleeping late.”

Since I was a child I developed the weird habit of relentlessly tossing and turning in my bed while glancing with amusement at my messy ruffled hair complaining:

«Woah! I’m a total disaster.»

One of those nights I dreamt that someone appeared in my home screaming: “Don’t leave!”

And it seems that dream has done nothing more than putting me in a bad mood?

«Oh no! Why did I think about it! I don’t want to start the day with melancholy…»

«Miss, have you already wok… Oh my God!»

The lovely nanny that came inside my room was shocked by my appearance, putting a hand on top of her mouth in shock while placing her gaze on my messy hair.

«It’s indeed incredible, I admit that the condition of your hair is much more serious than the other days.»

«How did I do it?»

«Surely you were a little agitated during the night. It seems you kept tossing and turning in your sheets again.»

«Ugh… yes, it seems so.»

It wasn’t the first time that I woke up with such hair, but I was grateful to her for saying only this much.

The nanny quickly called for Esula, whom had the grandiose ability of taming magnificently other’s hair, I was almost sure that she was the scissors of an hairstylist in one of her previous lives…
Her talent was so helpful for me in those moments!

“Shall I wash my face while I’m waiting?”

While soaking my hands in the water I glanced again at my reflection, noticing that my eyes were slightly puffy.

Blonde hair and brown eyes…
It took me months to get accustomed to my new appearance and months to finally acknowledge it as mine.

Everything was new for me, now I had fair skin and pretty eyes, and the hair… it’s best to not think about that. Ugh!

The girl I looked at every morning in the mirror wasn’t even ugly. But…

«Why! Why?! WHY?!»

The girl in the mirror was the only child of an aristocratic family, and her name was Latte Ectrie. She was 8 years old and measured 1,31 in height.

“I possessed this body.”

Previously my name was Kim Hye-jung, I was 25 years old and I worked as a teacher in a secondary grade school, but now I was in the body of Latte Ectrie, and the place where I was wasn’t Corea anymore, it wasn’t even the same world where I used to live…

This was the world of a novel.

Yes, now I am inside of a novel, I’m still breathing and I wash my face like every other day, I still eat rice and I often curse at my own hair while I’m entrapped in this body.

And 10 years have already gone by.

My life…
