Chapter 2 - A Boy Trapped in the Dream WorldSeason 1 – Part 2: Back to realtiy

Elvin suddenly woke up from his long and mysterious dream.

Bright white lights blinded his eyes.

He slowly realized that he was lying in a hospital ICU.

Confused and weak, Elvin tried to move. At that moment, a nurse walked in and said gently,

"You're finally awake. You've been unconscious for five months. A kind man brought you here."

Before Elvin could ask anything, the doctor examined him and said,

"I'll call the man who saved you."

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man entered the room. His name was Mr. Leo.

Leo looked at Elvin with kindness and said,

"Son, I found you lying injured on the roadside. You were in a deep coma. I couldn't just leave you there."

Elvin's eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you… for saving my life," he said softly.

Leo smiled and replied,

"You're safe now."

After Elvin was discharged, Leo took him to his home and took care of him like a father. Leo owned a company called The Marlin, but despite his wealth, he was a humble and kind man.

Weeks passed, and Elvin fully recovered.

Thanking Uncle Leo for everything, Elvin decided to return to college. But when he reached there, his heart sank.

Everyone was gone.

All his classmates had already graduated.

Elvin went to the principal and asked about Rina. The principal checked the records and found her old address, which he gave to Elvin.

Hope returned to Elvin's heart.

He went to Rina's house, but her aunt opened the door and said,

"Rina has moved to another city."

Disappointed and broken, Elvin returned to Leo's house and sat quietly on his bed.

"If only I had known earlier that Rina loved me…" he thought.

Leo noticed Elvin's sadness and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, son. If she truly belongs to you, destiny will bring her back."

The next morning, Elvin again visited Rina's aunt, confirmed her new address, and returned to Leo.

"I'm going to find her," Elvin said firmly.

Leo dropped him at the railway station. His eyes were filled with tears.

"Take care of yourself," Leo said.

Elvin replied with determination,

"Uncle, don't worry. I will return."

Elvin bought a ticket to Rina's city and waited for the train. When it arrived, he boarded it—unaware that a group of thieves was also traveling on the same train.

While Elvin was asleep, they stole his bag.

The next morning, Elvin woke up and realized everything was gone—money, documents, everything.

When the train reached Rina's city, Elvin stepped out, helpless and sad.

He searched for work, but no one was willing to help him.

That's when an old man noticed him.

"What's your name, son?" the man asked.

"Elvin. My bag was stolen. I need work," Elvin replied honestly.

The old man smiled.

"My name is Martin. Come with me."

Martin owned a café called Ring Rong, whose tagline was 'Our Taste Is Home Taste'. He offered Elvin a job, and Elvin accepted gratefully.

Elvin worked sincerely and quickly became loved by everyone—except one man.

His name was Liron.

Liron was jealous of Elvin.

One night, Liron stole money from Martin's cabin and secretly hid it inside Elvin's clothes.

The next morning, the theft was discovered.

The manager, Lokas, searched everyone. When the money was found in Elvin's pocket, Martin's heart broke.

Still, believing in fairness, Martin dismissed Elvin but gave him his full salary.

Elvin left without saying a word.

He continued searching for Rina.

Taking a taxi, Elvin finally reached her house. There, he met her parents—Mr. Marlin and Mrs. Tina.

With tears in their eyes, they told him the truth.

Rina had been kidnapped by Jacko—the same cruel bully from college—who now wanted to force her into marriage.

They begged Elvin for help.

"I will bring her back safely," Elvin promised.

Rina's mother gave him a bunch of keys as her keepsake.

Elvin tracked Jacko's location and fought his way through the guards. One by one, he defeated them.

He finally found Rina tied up in a room.

As he began to free her, Jacko appeared with a wicked smile.

A fierce fight broke out.

Suddenly, Jacko's father Marco attacked Elvin from behind and knocked him unconscious.

When Elvin woke up, he and Rina were both tied up.

Jacko laughed cruelly.

"You ruined my pride once. Now you will pay."

Suddenly, the door burst open.

"Touch them and you're dead!"

It was Zoro.

Elvin was shocked.

"Zoro?! How did you find me?"

Zoro replied,

"Uncle Leo sent me to protect you."

They fought bravely, but Jacko's hidden men captured Zoro and his team.

Then another man entered the room.

It was Martin.

Elvin was shocked once again.

Marco laughed mockingly.

"So you're not a gangster after all!"

A brutal fight followed.

In the end, Martin defeated Marco and freed Elvin, Rina, and Zoro.

Blinded by rage, Elvin killed Jacko.

Later, Martin said regretfully,

"Elvin, I'm sorry. You were never the thief. Liron was. I found out later through CCTV footage and fired him."

Elvin asked in disbelief,

"But how did you find me here?"

Martin smiled.

"Leo is my elder brother. He asked me to look after you. Even the stolen bag on the train was my plan—I wanted to test your courage and strength."

Elvin was shocked.

He hugged Martin tightly.

Then he turned to Rina, held her hand, and said,

"My love, I truly love you. Will you marry me?"

With tears in her eyes, Rina replied,

"Yes."

Elvin took her back to her parents. They thanked him and blessed their love.

A few weeks later, Elvin and Rina got married, with Uncle Leo standing proudly as Elvin's father figure..
