CHAPTERS
Kim Jaewon and Jo Seontae were criminals who would do anything as long as they were paid. They were especially notorious for filming sexual assaults to blackmail victims for money. They claimed they didn’t know who had hired them, only that they’d received my name, photo, and address from a private detective agency director and had followed me around for over a week. My routine was fairly simple: home, school, and cram school. Since I moved around by car and always went to crowded places with…- 281.3 K • Completed
- Groaning, I dragged myself out of bed. I just wanted to sleep, but I couldn’t do that while still wearing a suit. “I wish someone would just wash me.” Grumbling to myself, I took a shower and changed clothes. While I was drying my hair, my stomach let out a loud growl. I hadn’t eaten much at my biological father’s birthday party, so I was starving. When I checked the time, dinner had long passed. Both the weekday and weekend housekeepers would’ve finished their work and gone home by…

- I was a little aroused by Baek Mugyeong’s pheromones, but as soon as I faced other people, I snapped out of it. I took a few deep breaths in the hallway before going back inside. The man, still standing in the living room with a cold expression, turned his gaze to me. “Jeong Minchae.” “That wasn’t exactly mild. Don’t you think you went too far?” I complained from a distance, keeping away from Baek Mugyeong. Sure, another Alpha’s pheromones could be bothersome, but there had to…

- 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…

- After stopping in front of Room 1021, I lowered my phone and rang the doorbell. I’d come to retrieve my wallet, and it felt too rude to be on the phone with someone else while doing that, so I made a point of it. But the one who responded to the doorbell wasn’t Room 1021. The door right next to it suddenly burst open, and a large man appeared. “You here for your wallet?” “Uh, yeah. But I thought you said 1021?” “I misspoke. Come this way for a sec. The wallet is…” The man…

- “Th-then there’s no helping it.” For a moment, my stepmother’s face stiffened, but only for a second. She quickly laughed it off and smoothed things over like it was no big deal. Even if she was my stepmother, she couldn’t push things in front of Baek Mugyeong. When she heard that neither Baek Jinseok nor Baek Jaehan had come, my father clicked his tongue lightly, showing his displeasure. But most of all, the one who held absolute power at this event was Baek Mugyeong. Since he had openly…

- 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…

- 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…

- 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…

- “It's no big deal.” “Do you think I would believe that?” “It seems like my grandfather is trying to keep me in Korea. He’s pulling strings here and there, but it’s not exactly a pleasant situation.” Baek Mugyeong simply conveyed the facts, omitting the key points. Jeong Minchae uncrossed his arms. He seemed to think the situation was serious. In Korea, Baek Jinseok was practically a king. If he set his mind to something, there was no choice but to obey. “Why? Weren’t you out…
