How The Grump Saved Christmas

A peaceful life without any bloodshed, that’s the only dream left for Mr. Kim, a former gangster. Using his savings, he bought a nice apartment and started running a small bookstore. As everything seemed to be going smoothly, he met a high schooler named Ah Yeon, the one who was destined to turn his peaceful life upside down. Learning about her background and feeling pity for the child, who been suffering from abuse and bullying, he offered her a job at his bookstore. Over time, they grew closer, almost like family. Reading was her hobby, and because of that, she often recommended novels to him. One of those novels was 'The Death Note'—a romantic yet revenge-filled story, full of kidnapping, abuse, killing, mafia... and it all revolved around three main characters. Initially uninterested, he picked it up on a boring day. When she saw him reading the novel, she asked him a curious question. “From the main three characters, who would you save, if you ever got the chance?” “No one…” he replied without much thought. “What? Why?” “How can someone save a fictional character? Use your brain.” “I know it’s just a story; that’s why I’m asking as if. What if we transmigrate to another world and get the chance? If I could, I would save the villain. He is just like me..." Her eyes reflected sorrow as she said it. Few days later, news reached to Mr. Kim that the girl had committed suicide after murdering her stepfather. That day, for some reasons he kept the book with him, but the next day, he was dumbfounded to find himself in the body of a teenage girl who had been tortured terribly. Slowly, Kim realized the world was strikingly similar to the novel, The Death Note. However, there was no mention of his new name Yoon-Jung. So, he concludes it as an extra with no importance. To escape from the terrible circumstances, he reverted to being the old Kim he once was. And his fate, eventually lead hm to the villain, Ah Yuan. [He was yet to become the villain.] Ah Yuan reminded him of Ah Yeon. From the depths of his heart, Kim wished to save him. But in a world where he was struggling to survive himself, could he truly save Ah Yuan from his tragic fate?
