It feels like the phrase “The world is beautiful” exists just for moments like this. Even without eating, I felt full. The world around me sparkled with the colors of the aurora. My steps were light, as if I were walking on clouds. Because of the butterfly effects, big and small, incidents that hadn’t occurred before the regression kept happening. The days when I used to fret over whether this would affect the stock market had vanished. I wanted to shout and boast about it everywhere, but I…-

Jeong Minchae pressed the emergency call button while holding Baek Mugyeong’s hand. After a few rings, someone picked up, and he reported that the elevator had stopped. The person on the other end sounded startled and flustered, then asked if they were okay and said a staff member would be sent immediately. “Someone’s coming soon. Just hang in there a little longer. Do you want to sit down?” “I’m fine.” Baek Mugyeong responded stiffly to the kind offer. At that, Jeong Minchae scooted…

When he looked over, Jeong Minchae waved his hand and covered his mouth with a napkin, signaling he was fine. “You’re not even using the thing you’ve got, so what’s the point of getting hard? There’s only one bed, and I told them to get rid of the big sofa. You two are sleeping together.” Only then did Baek Mugyeong understand Baek Jinseok’s scheme, and he furrowed his brow. Back on New Year’s Day, he had declared to Baek Jinseok that he had no interest in DS Motors or having…

He had genuinely meant to help out of goodwill. He’d broken his arm as a child and knew just how inconvenient it was to change clothes with such an injury. Besides, starting tomorrow, they would barely run into each other. He figured this would be the first and last time he ever helped. It felt a little awkward, since he’d never undressed someone else before, but that was all. However, when Jeong Minchae actually reacted, it gave him a strange feeling. A ticklish sensation stirred in his gut, and…

Jeong Minchae’s voice was soft, but rang out clearly. He looked genuinely sorry. Receiving an apology like this didn’t feel pleasant. They had agreed not to care about each other’s affairs. But had Jeong Minchae really caused enough trouble to warrant apologizing so submissively? That didn’t seem right either. Legally, they were spouses. And since Choi Jaeha knew both of them, it was only natural for him to call Baek Mugyeong as the guardian. “You don’t need to…

Publicly, Kim Soohee’s cause of death was reported not as suicide, but as an unfortunate accident, falling down the stairs. Her parents were outraged, but for the sake of their daughter’s honor, they accepted it as an accidental death. However, not only were there rumors among the people, even to themselves, it didn’t seem like just a simple accident. It was disappointing that nothing turned up even after digging through the police records. Jake continued his explanation. “We only skimmed…

Just like before the regression, the visit to the family burial ground didn’t take long. Baek Jinseok had led the way up the mountain, but was the last to descend. We waited for him in the cold wind by the parking lot, just like last time. The only difference was that my fever kept rising and falling. I was definitely coming down with a cold, if not the flu. Still, it was bearable. Once the visit ended, everyone would scatter without regrouping. The visit to my biological father’s house…

After the regression, I had felt this kind of dissonance several times. It was as if my feet were lifting off the ground and I were about to be sucked somewhere. When confused, shock worked best. I deliberately slapped both my cheeks with my hands. The sting snapped me to my senses. “That hurt.” I rubbed my tingling cheeks. There was still a lot to do. I couldn’t just space out over something like this. I sat down in the nearest chair and picked up my phone. I needed to let my sibling…

The phone resting on the table buzzed rapidly, displaying popup notifications. Baek Mugyeong glanced at the contents with his eyes. They were all messages from Choi Jaeha. Since they were popups, he couldn’t see the full messages, but the first lines were enough. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, the weather was amazing, they were eating something delicious, jealous, aren’t you?, are you working, hyung?, come hang out, messages like that kept coming. Photos were included too. After…

I reflexively worried whether my messy face would give anything away. As I hesitated for a moment, perhaps sensing my presence, Baek Mugyeong turned toward me. “Jeong Minchae?” A man who would normally just give a brief nod to acknowledge me now called out my name with a surprised expression. It was probably because my face was completely twisted up. Right now, everything making me angry, wronged, frustrated, and miserable had nothing at all to do with Baek Mugyeong. We had just happened to…
