NIGHT FESTIVAL VOL.2 [제이훈]ᴇɴ⁃

After a near-fatal incident at the Han River, Haesoo awakens in a hospital bed, confused, disoriented, and haunted by a voice from her past. Standing beside her is Sunghoon, her childhood best friend-the boy who once meant everything to her, the boy who died in a tragic accident years ago.

Yet here he is.

Alive. Real. Speaking to her as if the years of silence and pain had never existed.

As Haesoo recovers, the lines between memory and reality begin to blur. Sunghoon insists they were never apart, that their closeness never faded, but Haesoo's memories tell a different story. Back in high school, they drifted apart. And on the night he promised to tell her something important, he never arrived. Instead, he died.

Now, she is left to untangle the truth: Why do her memories contradict what Sunghoon claims? Why does Jay and Sunghoon's once inseparable friend and now a distant figure in Haesoo's life, seem to hold pieces of the story no one else will say aloud?

Jay was the one who stopped her that night.

Jay was the one who stayed by her side while she was unconscious for five days.

And yet, it is Sunghoon she sees now.

Caught between the past and the present, between what she remembers and what she is being told, Haesoo must confront the deeper truths hidden beneath grief, memory, and time. Is Sunghoon's return a miracle, a dream, or something far more complicated?

A haunting and emotionally layered story about love lost, time fractured, and the ache of unanswered goodbyes, this novel explores the fragile line between what we remember and what we choose to believe.
