CHAPTERS
“Then that’s fine. But no weirdos, okay? Someone handsome and decent. Just… just imagine you’re setting him up on a blind date with a close friend. Or a younger brother. Or if not that, then the son of a business client.” I laid out a long list of conditions, just in case Baek Mugyeong tried to set Jaeha up with some sketchy alpha. In a world full of underhanded, despicable people, Baek Mugyeong was at least a relatively decent human being. You could tell just from how he had apologized…- 281.3 K • Completed
- At Choi Jaeha’s words, I sat up from the bed. Since it was a VIP hospital room, there was a sofa area where we could sit and talk. So we peeled and ate hallabongs from the fruit basket as we chatted. I made up a story about hurting my head after missing a step on the stairs at Baek Jinseok’s mansion. I said it was a mild concussion and I’d be hospitalized for a few days. Jaeha scolded me, saying that falling so easily meant my lower body was weak and that I should exercise more. I didn’t like…

- “Aside from the throbbing in my head, nothing hurts. By the way… could you tell me what happened yesterday? It’s okay if it’s a secret.” I hadn’t intended to pry, but as I spoke honestly, curiosity suddenly crept in. I looked at Baek Mugyeong and asked cautiously. In chaebol families, internal matters were usually kept under wraps. It had only been a little over a month since I married Baek Mugyeong, still enough for me to be considered an outsider. That’s why I added the disclaimer…

- They looked at me, each showing some degree of dismay. I was essentially being held hostage. “Don’t come any closer!” The man choking me barked furiously. “I’ll kill him if you do!” The pressure on my neck intensified. It usually took time to choke someone to death, but this man was a professional, a bodyguard. There were faster methods, like a snap of the neck. The bodyguards surrounding us hesitated, clearly aware of this. I was just as thrown off. I couldn’t understand how…

- Now that I knew exactly where the bathroom was, there was no chance of being mistaken for a pervert. “I’ll get up for a moment as well.” Baek Mugyeong followed me. I looked at him with a bit of confusion. This hadn’t happened in the previous timeline, but there were so many variables between us now that I just let it go. “It’s to the left.” As we exited the dining room, Baek Mugyeong pointed out the direction of the bathroom. In the previous timeline, I had gotten lost after…

- Now that I was no longer expected to take part in the conversation, I let out a quiet sigh of relief. It seemed I’d made it through unscathed. I had no idea what Baek Jinseok was really thinking, but he certainly looked pleased, and that was enough. Dinner was relatively cheerful. Though Baek Jaehan and Baek Sujin would usually bare their teeth and snarl at each other the moment they met, they were on their best behavior in front of Baek Jinseok. They exchanged meaningful barbs, scratched at…

- Both of Baek Sujin’s sons were alphas, and her eldest, Baek Unhyeon, was not only good-looking and intelligent, but also a model student who never caused trouble. Although Baek Sujin usually attended family gatherings alone, it was said, ironically, that she actually had a fairly decent relationship with her ex-husband. Considering she had kept him, a former chief prosecutor, in charge of the legal team at the distribution division, there were even rumors that their divorce had been for show. At…

- The charity concert, which had even invited a famous violinist and a full orchestra, ended amid great applause. A party followed in the art center’s banquet hall. With a charity auction and a simple prize drawing, the atmosphere heated up. Next came the socializing portion. Wherever people gather, things are always the same. Everyone greeted each other warmly, asked after one another, and exchanged updates. As expected, I trailed after Baek Mugyeong, leaving my impression with the Baek family, and…

- They say the past becomes a memory. Since I was the only one who remembered the various humiliations I’d gone through before the regression, I could laugh them off. But this was something happening in real time. And unfortunately, the other person involved was Baek Mugyeong. He seemed to believe my excuse, that it happened out of ignorance. Still, he had probably added a couple of spoonfuls of “how pathetic” to his impression of me. Whether it was financial power, authority, experience, or…

- The groundskeeper arrived thirty minutes later. As soon as he fiddled with the electronic lock, the door opened right away. Only then did Baek Mugyeong release my hand and offer a very brief thanks. “Thank you, Jeong Minchae.” I just nodded silently. No matter how you looked at it, Baek Mugyeong didn’t seem to want to talk about what had just happened. In times like this, pretending not to know anything was the best way to build trust. I decided to just forget about the whole…
