Sweet Situation: Escape from Love to You (English Version)

Prologue 

  

  

  

  

She​ ​shouldn​'​t​ ​have​ ​loved​ ​him... 

The​ ​young​ ​lady​ ​said​ ​to​ ​herself,​ ​her​ ​sad​ ​face​ ​and​ ​eyes​ ​staring​ ​at​ ​the​ ​tree.​ ​And​ ​the​ ​sky​ ​in​ ​front​ ​of​ ​her,​ ​no​ ​matter​ ​how​ ​beautiful​ ​the​ ​sunset​ ​horizon,​ ​doesn​’​t​ ​make​ ​her​ ​feel​ ​any​ ​better.​ ​The​ ​feelings​ ​in​ ​her​ ​heart​ ​were​ ​tortured​ ​to​ ​the​ ​point​ ​where​ ​she​ ​was​ ​almost​ ​helpless.​ ​Her​ ​eyes​ ​rounded,​ ​looking​ ​at​ ​the​ ​orange​ ​sky​ ​where​ ​the​ ​sun​ ​was​ ​setting​ ​down.​ ​Before​ ​moving​ ​up​ ​from​ ​the​ ​chair,​ ​she​ ​wandered. 

“​You...​ ​help​ ​me​ ​buy​ ​some.​”​  

The​ ​young​ ​woman​ ​glanced​ ​back​ ​before​ ​turning​ ​to​ ​look​ ​at​ ​the​ ​snacks​ ​that​ ​were​ ​lined​ ​up​ ​in​ ​the​ ​basket 

“​Do​ ​you​ ​want​ ​Rose-Layer​ ​Sweet​ ​Cake?​” 

“​Not​ ​better.​ ​I​ ​saw​ ​a​ ​rose,​ ​and​ ​I​ ​didn​’​t​ ​feel​ ​well.​”​  

An​ ​old​ ​woman​ ​looked​ ​up​ ​and​ ​smiled​ ​with​ ​a​ ​warm​ ​smile. 

“​Sweet​ ​Stuffed​ ​Dough,​”​ ​she​ ​said​ ​after​ ​a​ ​long​ ​silence.​ ​“​And​ ​Toddy​ ​Palm​ ​Cake.​” 

“​Do​ ​you​ ​work​ ​in​ ​the​ ​area?​” 

“​No,​”​ ​she​ ​replied​ ​in​ ​a​ ​low​ ​tone.​ ​“​I​ ​just​ ​come​ ​and​ ​take​ ​a​ ​walk.​” 

“​Thirty​ ​baht.​” 

She​ ​paid​ ​and​ ​reached​ ​out​ ​to​ ​take​ ​a​ ​bag​ ​of​ ​snacks​ ​from​ ​the​ ​vendor. 

“​Er...​ ​Wait​ ​a​ ​minute.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​your​ ​first​ ​time​ ​coming​ ​to​ ​this​ ​park,​ ​right?​” 

“​Ah...​ ​Yeah​!​” 

“​I​ ​have​ ​a​ ​good​ ​story​ ​to​ ​tell...​”​ ​Grandma​ ​Selling​ ​Snacks,​ ​spaces​ ​out​ ​quietly​ ​before​ ​continuing,​ ​“​I​ ​heard​ ​that​ ​the​ ​court​ ​next​ ​to​ ​this​ ​garden​ ​is​ ​very​ ​sacred,​ ​especially​ ​about​ ​love​ ​and​ ​marriage.​” 

The​ ​young​ ​woman​ ​smiled​ ​and​ ​not​ ​believe​ ​the​ ​grandmother​’​s​ ​words. 

“​My​ ​granddaughter​ ​used​ ​to​ ​make​ ​wishes​ ​and​ ​wishful​ ​thinking.​” 

“​I​ ​think...​” 

“​Some​ ​people​ ​say​ ​that​ ​if​ ​you​ ​pray​ ​intensely​ ​enough,​ ​your​ ​wishes​ ​will​ ​come​ ​true.​” 

“​Oh,​ ​well,​ ​I​’​ll​ ​come​ ​and​ ​try​ ​it.​”​ ​When​ ​she​ ​finished​ ​speaking,​ ​she​ ​decamped.​ ​Until​ ​she​ ​walked​ ​far​ ​enough​ ​away.​ ​So,​ ​she​ ​stopped​ ​because​ ​her​ ​confused​ ​heart​ ​was​ ​restless. 

In​ ​her​ ​heart,​ ​is​ ​it​ ​hoping?​ ​Is​ ​it​ ​too​ ​absurd? 

The​ ​young​ ​lady​ ​took​ ​a​ ​deep​ ​breath,​ ​holding​ ​back​ ​the​ ​tears​ ​that​ ​were​ ​flowing​ ​down​ ​her​ ​cheeks​ ​once​ ​more. 

“​Damn...​”​ ​she​ ​said​ ​to​ ​herself.​ ​As​ ​she​ ​walked​ ​out​ ​of​ ​the​ ​garden.​ ​When​ ​she​ ​looked​ ​up​ ​from​ ​the​ ​floor,​ ​she​ ​looked​ ​straight​ ​ahead.​ ​Then​ ​she​ ​stopped.​ ​Is​ ​this​ ​the​ ​shrine​ ​that​ ​Grandma​ ​Selling​ ​Snacks​ ​is​ ​talking​ ​about,​ ​right? 

A​ ​medium-sized​ ​shrine​ ​is​ ​located​ ​directly​ ​opposite​ ​a​ ​large​ ​tree.​ ​There​ ​are​ ​several​ ​flowers​ ​and​ ​garlands​ ​that​ ​people​ ​bring​ ​to​ ​worship.​ ​The​ ​young​ ​woman​ ​raised​ ​her​ ​hand​ ​and​ ​rubbed​ ​her​ ​upper​ ​arm​ ​as​ ​a​ ​wind​ ​blew​ ​through,​ ​as​ ​if​ ​something​ ​had​ ​come​ ​and​ ​gone.​ ​She​ ​didn​’​t​ ​walk​ ​in​ ​but​ ​stood​ ​there​ ​staring​ ​to​ ​decide​ ​what​ ​to​ ​do​ ​next. 

But​ ​in​ ​the​ ​end,​ ​she​ ​could​ ​make​ ​a​ ​wish​ ​until... 

The​ ​young​ ​lady​ ​sighed​ ​as​ ​she​ ​walked​ ​away​ ​from​ ​the​ ​shrine.​ ​She​ ​stopped​ ​walking​ ​and​ ​turned​ ​around​ ​to​ ​investigate​ ​the​ ​distance​ ​before​ ​slowly​ ​moving​ ​on.​ ​She​ ​believed​ ​little​ ​of​ ​what​ ​Grandma​ ​selling​ ​snacks​ ​had​ ​said.​ ​If​ ​whatever​ ​she​ ​was​ ​asking​ ​had​ ​to​ ​be​ ​true.​  

It​'​s​ ​beyond​ ​belief​! 

That​'​s​ ​when​ ​the​ ​phone​ ​rang,​ ​and​ ​she​ ​was​ ​jolted​ ​out​ ​of​ ​her​ ​daydream.​ ​Pick​ ​up​ ​the​ ​phone​ ​and​ ​peek​ ​at​ ​the​ ​other​ ​end​ ​of​ ​the​ ​line​ ​before​ ​pressing​ ​and​ ​accept​ ​the​ ​call.​  

[Read​ ​the​ ​message​ ​yet?​ ​Don​’​t​ ​forget​ ​the​ ​appointment.]​  

“​Hmm...​”​ ​the​ ​young​ ​lady​ ​replied​ ​in​ ​a​ ​low​ ​tone.​ ​While​ ​looking​ ​at​ ​the​ ​road​ ​ahead,​ ​that​ ​was​ ​not​ ​so​ ​far​ ​away. 

[Is​ ​something​ ​wrong?​ ​The​ ​sound​ ​seems...] 

The​ ​last​ ​question​ ​did​ ​not​ ​even​ ​make​ ​it​ ​into​ ​the​ ​auditory​ ​nerve.​ ​She​ ​is​ ​drawn​ ​to​ ​events​ ​in​ ​front​ ​of​ ​the​ ​screams​ ​and​ ​sees​ ​the​ ​commotion​ ​caused​ ​by​ ​nearby​ ​adolescents​’​ ​fights​ ​for​ ​dominance.​ ​In​ ​the​ ​end,​ ​she​ ​didn​’​t​ ​give​ ​a​ ​shit​ ​about​ ​it​ ​and​ ​stood​ ​there​ ​in​ ​shock​ ​for​ ​a​ ​long​ ​time.​ ​Until​ ​she​ ​glimpsed​ ​the​ ​sword​ ​as​ ​it​ ​flew​ ​at​ ​her.​ ​She​ ​looked​ ​up​ ​in​ ​shock​ ​as​ ​it​ ​soared​ ​towards​ ​her​ ​face. 

The​ ​young​ ​woman​ ​had​ ​been​ ​conscious​ ​and​ ​survived.​ ​Soon,​ ​several​ ​shots​ ​were​ ​heard.​ ​Everyone​ ​either​ ​stooped​ ​down​ ​or​ ​ran​ ​away.​ ​Among​ ​the​ ​other​ ​teenagers​ ​without​ ​guns,​ ​they​ ​ran​ ​and​ ​dodged,​ ​but​ ​threw​ ​something​ ​close​ ​to​ ​them.​ ​Until​ ​the​ ​person​ ​holding​ ​the​ ​gun​ ​turned​ ​around,​ ​raised​ ​his​ ​hand,​ ​and​ ​aimed. 

She​ ​looked​ ​at​ ​the​ ​incident​ ​in​ ​a​ ​perplexed​ ​manner.​ ​Her​ ​legs​ ​and​ ​body​ ​were​ ​unresponsive,​ ​as​ ​if​ ​in​ ​shock.​ ​Until​ ​the​ ​sound​ ​of​ ​another​ ​gunshot​ ​brings​ ​them​ ​back​ ​to​ ​consciousness.​ ​The​ ​young​ ​lady​ ​looked​ ​at​ ​the​ ​boy​ ​as​ ​he​ ​fell​ ​to​ ​the​ ​ground​ ​in​ ​shock.​ ​Before​ ​hearing​ ​several​ ​shots​ ​fired.​ ​The​ ​nearby​ ​villagers​ ​ran​ ​away​ ​in​ ​fear. 

The​ ​young​ ​woman​ ​hurriedly​ ​tried​ ​to​ ​get​ ​as​ ​far​ ​away​ ​as​ ​possible,​ ​but​ ​she​ ​suddenly​ ​felt​ ​a​ ​pain​ ​in​ ​the​ ​back​ ​of​ ​her​ ​chest​ ​and​ ​then​ ​slowly​ ​fell​ ​to​ ​the​ ​ground.​ ​She​ ​also​ ​hits​ ​the​ ​ground​ ​hard​ ​against​ ​something​ ​solid. 

Red​ ​blood​ ​flowed​ ​all​ ​around.​ ​She​ ​did​ ​not​ ​even​ ​have​ ​the​ ​strength​ ​to​ ​cry​ ​out​ ​for​ ​help​ ​right​ ​now.​ ​Blurred​ ​eyes​ ​looked​ ​towards​ ​the​ ​fence​ ​of​ ​the​ ​park.​ ​She​ ​saw​ ​a​ ​faint​ ​shadow​ ​of​ ​the​ ​person​ ​she​ ​was​ ​looking​ ​at,​ ​who​ ​wasn​’​t​ ​too​ ​far​ ​away.​ ​Her​ ​eyes​ ​were​ ​closed,​ ​and​ ​she​ ​was​ ​unconscious. 

She​ ​is​ ​going​ ​to​ ​die... 

‘​The​ ​wish​ ​you​ ​have​ ​been​ ​requested;​ ​I​ ​will​ ​accept​ ​it.​’ 

A​ ​hoarse​ ​voice​ ​came​ ​from​ ​somewhere.​ ​At​ ​this​ ​moment,​ ​she​ ​did​ ​not​ ​have​ ​the​ ​strength​ ​to​ ​turn​ ​to​ ​look​ ​at​ ​the​ ​source​ ​of​ ​the​ ​voice. 

Her​ ​desire? 

The​ ​young​ ​lady​ ​just​ ​lay​ ​there​ ​without​ ​moving.​ ​In​ ​front​ ​of​ ​her​ ​was​ ​darkness​ ​without​ ​light,​ ​but​ ​suddenly​ ​a​ ​white​ ​light​ ​appeared,​ ​so​ ​bright​ ​that​ ​it​ ​dazzled​ ​her​ ​eyes.​  

What​ ​happened? 

“​There​ ​are​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​folks​ ​who​ ​want​ ​to​ ​make​ ​their​ ​desires​ ​come​ ​true.​ ​Even​ ​at​ ​the​ ​cost​ ​of​ ​what​ ​I​ ​love​ ​the​ ​most.​ ​But​ ​with​ ​you,​ ​just​ ​allow​ ​him​ ​to​ ​be​ ​happy.​’​’ 

The​ ​implicit​ ​meaning​ ​sounded​ ​enough​ ​for​ ​the​ ​young​ ​woman​ ​to​ ​guess​ ​what​ ​it​ ​was...​ ​her​ ​desire. 

“​I​ ​really​ ​shouldn​’​t​ ​have​ ​loved​ ​him...​”​ ​said​ ​the​ ​young​ ​woman​ ​in​ ​a​ ​barely​ ​audible​ ​voice.​ ​The​ ​rim​ ​of​ ​the​ ​eye​ ​was​ ​filled​ ​with​ ​clear​ ​water​ ​droplets.​ ​Let​ ​it​ ​flow​ ​with​ ​a​ ​broken​ ​heart.​ ​It​’​s​ ​good​ ​like​ ​this​ ​too.​ ​She​ ​also​ ​didn​’​t​ ​want​ ​to​ ​be​ ​there​ ​if​ ​she​ ​had​ ​to​ ​recognize​ ​and​ ​endure​ ​seeing​ ​his​ ​face​ ​every​ ​day​ ​after​ ​this. 

The​ ​mysterious​ ​man​’​s​ ​laughter​ ​rang​ ​out​ ​several​ ​times​ ​in​ ​satisfaction.​ ​Few​ ​have​ ​asked​ ​for​ ​such​ ​a​ ​thing.​ ​If​ ​it​’​s​ ​love,​ ​they​ ​often​ ​ask​ ​to​ ​come​ ​back​ ​to​ ​loving​ ​each​ ​other​ ​as​ ​usual.​ ​Or​ ​you​ ​might​ ​request​ ​that​ ​your​ ​boyfriend​ ​cease​ ​his​ ​connection​ ​with​ ​the​ ​woman​ ​with​ ​whom​ ​he​ ​is​ ​now​ ​involved.​ ​The​ ​woman​ ​in​ ​front​ ​of​ ​him​ ​is​ ​interesting. 

“​Well​!​” 

Round​ ​eyes​ ​tried​ ​to​ ​look​ ​at​ ​the​ ​body​ ​and​ ​face​ ​of​ ​the​ ​owner​ ​of​ ​the​ ​voice.​ ​But​ ​it​’​s​ ​not​ ​effective​ ​when​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​white​ ​light​ ​obscuring​ ​it. 

‘​Until​ ​the​ ​ninth​ ​month​’​s​ ​fifteenth​ ​declining​ ​moon​ ​returns.​ ​There​ ​was​ ​a​ ​time​ ​to​ ​start​ ​a​ ​relationship​ ​that​ ​went​ ​wrong.​ ​If​ ​everything​ ​changes,​ ​you​ ​will​ ​lead​ ​a​ ​normal​ ​life​ ​with​ ​this​ ​body.​ ​But​ ​if​ ​everything​ ​remains​ ​the​ ​same,​ ​you​ ​will​ ​die​ ​and​ ​fade​ ​from​ ​everyone​’​s​ ​mind​ ​forever.​’ 

The​ ​young​ ​woman​ ​could​ ​not​ ​understand​ ​the​ ​meaning​ ​of​ ​what​ ​was​ ​heard.​ ​The​ ​body​ ​was​ ​suffering​ ​more​ ​than​ ​the​ ​brain​ ​could​ ​think​ ​of.​ ​She​ ​just​ ​closed​ ​her​ ​eyes​ ​and​ ​didn​’​t​ ​feel​ ​anything​ ​anymore. 

“​Oh​ ​bad,​ ​I​ ​erased​ ​the​ ​old​ ​memories.​”​ ​A​ ​mysterious​ ​voice​ ​rang​ ​out​ ​in​ ​shock,​ ​but​ ​it​ ​was​ ​too​ ​late.​ ​When​ ​sending​ ​the​ ​young​ ​lady​’​s​ ​soul​ ​back​ ​to​ ​start​ ​over,​ ​“​Then​ ​let​’​s​ ​start​ ​all​ ​over​ ​again.​”
