snow white.
yerim was born into a middle-class family as the only child. she often had visions of a handsome young man on a white horse, and little people gathered around her. growing up, she often heard fairytales as bedtime stories, or in school. but one that stuck out to her was snow white. whenever it was told, she would hear a faint ringing in her head. she told her parents about it but they never bothered to dig deep into the situation - after all, their focus was earning enough money to put food on the table and afford to give her the proper education they never got.
when yerim was 13, there was a carnival down the street from her house. excited, she headed down expecting to have lots of fun. but she discovered a medium tent and her curious 13-yeard-old self entered it. she asked the medium about why she heard ringings whenever she heard snow white. the medium zipped up the tent and forced yerim into reading out version after version of snow white. halfway through the original german version, yerim fainted. she woke up with a pounding in her head and as if there was a projector playing scenes; scene after scene of horses and people, yet she couldn't put her finger on it. she returned to the tent the next day in attempt to figure everything out. "it is your past life, yerim. you were her," the medium told her. and yerim believed her because she could remember everything now, and also because she never told the medium her name. she never saw the medium again.
now, at 21, she lives alone on the third floor of a small apartment building with two dogs, a golden labrador named sarang and a siberian husky named unmyeong (which mean love and fate respectively), albeit her animal-loving past self. she has a knack for children and animals, but sadly couldn't become a kindergarten teacher as she was lacking the academic requirements to enrol teaching school. she waitresses at a quaint cafe downtown and also works at the stripclub on some nights as a singer, bargirland sometimes even to entertain clients which happens more than the firt two. she isn't ashamed of her job; she is proud that she was able to stand back up and get herself together even after her dad passed away from a heart attack after his labour work took a toll on him when she was 14, and her mom went missing.
yerim is also is proud that she managed to earn enough money to buy her own apartment and even though she had to drop out of school at 15 due to the lack of payment of school fees, she is glad her life is now stable. nevertheless, she has the drive to learn and often drops in at the nearby universities and high schools for free tuitions from kind teachers.
with complete recollection of her past life, things aren't always bright and sunny for the girl. sometimes she meets people whom have offended her in her past life, and sometimes she gets very descriptive and elaborate nightmares which often end in her jolting awake in tears. but she chooses to take the mistakes she's made in her past life as a lesson to her present.
