Even Yasin, who had been cooped up indoors, came out today to eat and drink. His injuries were nearly healed. Yudit had deliberately placed Yasin with a group skilled in sewing and knitting. Yasin, nursing a drink, kept sneaking glances at their knitwear as if curious about the stitching techniques. Wadiram, as usual, was glued to the shopkeeper. Anyone would believe they were lovers in a past life. They were proudly showing off a whip made from a Bloodwhip stem. The villagers stared at it with…-

Two days later, Yudit stopped by the barn first thing in the morning. Inside, people suffering from hangovers were sprawled about like laundry left out to dry. “Ugh…” Yudit looked at the groaning figures with pity as he handed out bowls of thin stew with tomatoes to each one of them. “No more drinking… I swear…” “I can’t put anything in my stomach…” Despite their protests, perhaps due to the pleasant tang that whetted the appetite, they took one bite, then another—and…

Obviously it was a suggestion meant to comfort Baek Mugyeong, an innocent offer to eat out. Yet somehow, the conversation had twisted into making sure he could handle spicy food. Just then, the phone on the table vibrated. As soon as I saw the caller ID, my good mood hit the bottom in an instant. It was my stepmother. Since quitting my internship at the gallery and returning to school, I barely crossed paths with her anymore. Unlike before the regression, she was now barred from visiting the newlywed…-

“Where should I go?” “The second floor.” The place Baek Mugyeong pointed to was a staircase leading up. A banner announcing the special exhibition was hanging on the wall beside the stairs. “Excuse me, I have something to say. It’s about going abroad. Not now, later. Before we go back.” I brought it up with the mindset of wanting to get it over with, like ripping off a bandaid. Today, I had something I needed to say to him. I couldn’t just be the one getting notified all the…

“You need to know whether Baek Yeongseop is using you.” “Using me how?” “Are you really that clueless? You’ve been passing my information to Baek Yeongseop.” “What information? I don’t even know anything about you. And it’s true that you want to go back to the US. If Vice President Baek Jaehan knows that, he won’t try to keep you in check anymore. Isn’t that what you wanted?” Angrily, I fired back with everything on my mind at Baek Mugyeong’s nonsense. I didn’t…

“You!” My biological father shouted, his face twisted as if he’d just been betrayed. But maybe because we were in front of Baek Jinseok, he couldn’t bring himself to say more. “Chairman Jeong. Do I have to repeat myself? Sit down.” Baek Jinseok didn’t give him any leeway. As the atmosphere turned cold, my father finally stood up from his seat. He sat to Baek Jinseok’s left, while Baek Mugyeong and I sat on his right. I didn’t want to face my father directly, so I had Baek…

I opened my eyes wide and looked up at Baek Mugyeong. I’d believed he would come, but even so, this was all too dramatic. “Are you all right?” Baek Mugyeong asked as he pulled the cloth from my mouth. I was so shocked I could only nod silently. My head and stomach throbbed from the blows, but considering everything, I was doing okay. Just then, a man in a black suit appeared holding a pair of scissors. Baek Mugyeong took them and cut the plastic cable ties binding my arms and legs. The…

Thinking back to the previous timeline, Baek Jinseok’s patience had lasted no more than two years. And now that Jeong Minchae had manifested as an omega, the timeline might even be faster. One option was to give Baek Jinseok the alpha great grandson he wanted, and use that to buy time in order to seize control of Daesong Group. But Baek Mugyeong had ruled that out long before marrying Jeong Minchae. The future Baek Mugyeong knew extended only two years ahead. While he could make a fortune using…

“As I said earlier, if there is a story behind it, the price can go higher. Both Bae Jongho and Painter Kim Yeongcheol are famous, and they have a solid fan base. Many people will be interested.” “Yes.” I could not help putting strength in my voice. But Baek Mugyeong’s face had been stiff for a while. “It was obvious Director Kim meant to take it, knowing who the artist was.” “Ha ha. I did not know.” “Good thing I followed.” “Thank you. If it were not for…

The warm tea had been served, but my biological father’s well-wishes went on for quite a while. He fussed, saying he felt relieved seeing the two of us getting along, that he had a feeling we’d be hearing some good news soon. I gave half-hearted responses. My stepmother watched the mood and threw in a few indifferent remarks. Baek Mugyeong didn’t touch his tea and sat silently. It was my stepmother who finally got to the point after the small talk. “Minchae.” “Yes.” “I heard…
