“While looking into where your mother’s ashes were enshrined, I found out that your maternal grandmother and aunt are in the United States.” I froze at the completely unexpected news. I had asked him to check where my birth mother’s ashes were, but I never imagined he would track down her side of the family too. I hesitated, wondering if I should say I already knew, when Baek Mugyeong continued. “I received the official report last night. I didn’t tell you earlier because I was worried…- 281.3 K • Completed
- The place Baek Mugyeong had chosen for dinner was a Korean fine dining restaurant at the Carva Hotel. When I gave his name at the entrance, I was immediately shown to a private room. It was ten minutes before six, but Baek Mugyeong was already there. He stood up to greet me. “You’re here.” “Yes. You’re early.” I greeted him politely and sat across from him. My actions were smooth, but my heart was beating irregularly. When I first heard from Choi Jaeha about my aunt, I had…

- However, I couldn’t help wondering who the guy who punched Baek Yeongseop was. He went after the eldest grandson of the Daesong Group, his future would be arduous. When I said after picking up the coffee I ordered, Choi Jaeha’s eyes lit up. “I know who it is.” Jaeha knew the guy who hit Baek Yeongseop. He said it was the boyfriend of some actress we only knew by face, a lawyer with U.S. citizenship. His name was Robert. Apparently, he found out his girlfriend had been cheating with Baek…

- Baek Mugyeong took a deep breath and answered. “Yes.” “Haa… fine.” Jeong Minchae, who had just yelled, quickly calmed down. It was hard to tell whether he was indifferent or just too drained. “If you stay in Korea, this will keep happening. Just like I warned you.” “Well… I mean, like I said earlier, we could just have sex. Not like, spontaneously, but set a date first and all.” Baek Mugyeong’s expression twisted. His reason had snapped the moment he heard those…

- Baek Mugyeong couldn’t shake off the strange feeling, he followed Jeong Minchae outside the art museum building. Once they had moved far enough from the alpha hazard, Baek Mugyeong no longer needed to hold Jeong Minchae’s hand to stay unaffected by the pheromones. But the remnants of arousal that had nearly pushed him into a rut lingered. That sensation was tangled with the thrill he had felt when holding Jeong Minchae’s hand. Even though the awakening state had not yet faded, Baek Mugyeong…

- He admitted he was physically attracted to Jeong Minchae. The heat spread through him as the memory of that blissful moment, triggered by just a bit of contact, came back. But that didn’t mean he intended to have sex with Jeong Minchae. Originally, he had planned to resolve things by simply avoiding him. He believed that if he didn’t see him, the feelings pulling him in would naturally fade. Of course, life didn’t go the way he wanted. When he saw Jeong Minchae a mess, crying in a hotel room on…

- Baek Mugyeong’s pheromones suddenly hit me as he spat out informal speech without warning. It wasn’t just a scent. It was so thick I could barely breathe. I stared at him in disbelief and confusion. My body reacted instantly. Heat rushed to my head, my heart pounded, blood surged to my lower body, and my legs went weak. “What… did you just do?” My voice trembled, thin and powerless. To be exact, my whole body trembled. Baek Mugyeong, on the other hand, stared straight at me as if he felt…

- “What’s this about?” Baek Mugyeong had reserved a conference room in the lounge of the hotel where he was staying. Since it was a public meeting space, one wall and the door were glass, making the inside clearly visible. He had arrived first, and the moment I stepped in and closed the door, he cut straight to the point. The man didn’t even sit down. The atmosphere made it clear he wanted to get this over with and leave. I remembered how he had threatened me last week to run away. Compared…

- I looked at Baek Mugyeong beside me, half in disbelief. He, too, had his gaze locked in the direction where Baek Yeongseop was fighting. His eyes gleamed like a predator ready to pounce on its prey. That was an immediate red flag. “Baek Mugyeong-ssi.” I called his name, but he didn’t respond. If he jumped into the fight now, it would be a disaster. “Snap out of it.” I shook his arm in panic. Slowly, he turned his head toward me. His eyes were sharp, like a finely honed blade. It…

- Before the regression, the details of who Baek Yeongseop had married and what kind of family she came from were hazy in my memory. So I couldn’t recall anything about the man smiling foolishly in front of me either. As Baek Mugyeong had said, nothing could be guaranteed until the wedding actually happened. Even after checking each other’s backgrounds, getting engaged, and completing all the preparations, it wasn’t uncommon for things to fall apart. When Baek Mugyeong said we had to wait and…
