Synopsis
“Even if I forget you in this life… the moon will remember.” Yoorin, a quiet girl working in an antique bookshop, has always felt a strange pull to the full moon and a voice she hears only in dreams. One stormy night, she finds an old journal written in a language she somehow understands — and the pages begin to rewrite themselves. In another time, another life, she was someone else. And someone is still waiting for her return. A story of quiet love, forgotten memories, magical fate, and a romance written across centuries. If you love k-drama aesthetics, reincarnation, and soft magic — this story is for you.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 – The Voice Beneath the Moon

Yoorin always woke before the moon disappeared.

Even before the birds stirred, before the shopkeeper next door rattled open his shutters, she would be sitting at the windowsill of her tiny attic room—bare feet curled under her, warm mug of barley tea in hand—watching the pale moon hang like a forgotten memory above the sleeping rooftops.

Tonight, though, it didn't feel like watching.

It felt like waiting.

And when the clock struck 4:03 a.m., the whisper came again.

"You left me in the rain."

She didn't move. She didn't even blink. The words were soft and strange, like a breeze caught between languages. But they were the same ones she'd heard in her dreams all week. The voice was low, male, distant—but painfully familiar, like a name she once knew and forgot on purpose.

"You promised you'd return when the moon was full."

She gripped the mug tighter. The ceramic was cool now. Her tea had gone cold.

She should feel scared. Normal people would feel scared, wouldn't they? But she didn't. She felt… nostalgic. Like the voice belonged to someone she had once loved deeply in another life.

Then the bell above the bookstore door chimed.

Yoorin jolted.

It was impossible. The shop was downstairs, and no one could be inside—it was locked. She stood up, heartbeat ticking louder than the clock, and tiptoed down the creaky wooden stairs. Her breath caught in her throat.

The lights were off. The street outside was empty. And yet...

The door to the rare book section was open.

That door had been sealed shut for as long as she could remember. Even Mr. Han, the grumpy old owner of the shop, never opened it. It smelled of dust and forgotten stories. And now, it stood open like a mouth ready to speak.

Inside, a single book lay on the floor, glowing faintly under the moonlight streaming through the round stained-glass window.

Yoorin picked it up.

No title. No author. Just worn leather, and a strange symbol carved on the spine — a crescent moon cradling a star.

She opened it to the first page.

The ink shimmered like silver. And somehow, impossibly, she understood every word.

"In the 14th year of the Forgotten Emperor, I buried my heart beneath the almond tree. She promised to return in a hundred moons. She never did. But I kept the path lit, in case her soul found its way back."

A wind rushed through the room, carrying the scent of old jasmine and something older—like ancient promises.

And then the voice came again, clearer this time. Not in her mind. Right behind her.

"You've found it."

Yoorin turned slowly.

The bookstore was empty.

But the moonlight had shifted—and it was now pouring onto the second page.

As the words wrote themselves.
