Exciting revenge in the middle of night with unique monsters made by imagination

Jae Min had a big fight with his friend during the day. He only beat his friend once, but got hit back by his friend 5 times. Therefore, he is so upset and cannot sleep even in the middle of night due to his anger. At that time, monsters come into his room opening the door! His anger has evoked these scary monsters. Huge and strong hand palm monster, fast and cruel one-eyed rabbit, skeleton bat with disgusting smell, bandage ghost tying things up with bandages…… Jae Min is never scared even facing with these monsters, instead, he comes up a very good idea – which is to revenge toward his friend by taking these monsters.

 

Anger, hate, and fear…… the way to honestly admit and resolve negative feelings

Jae Min and monsters went outside and happened to meet people who often annoyed Jae Min – from an older boy than Jae Min living in the neighborhood, who often took coins from Jae Min in front of claw crane game, the owner of stationary store who used to scold Jae Min, even if he gently touched toys, his nagging teacher, and to a neighbor dog who used to fiercely bark at Jae Min. Whenever he met up with those characters, he always ordered, “Go!” to monsters without hesitation, and these monsters took care of those annoying characters while showing off their own skills following Jae Min’s order.

Jae Min and monsters finally arrived at the house of his friend, their destination. Right after his friend looked outside the window, monsters suddenly began all the attacks! Jae Min gently hit his crying friend four times, and then, he thought it finally became fair. He got back home happily, but still he couldn’t sleep at night. Jae Min had to spend a long night again. Next day, he worked up the courage and told his friend he was sorry. They made peace each other and readers can feel happy and comforted while seeing these two friends became good.
