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…

“Is it a blackout?” I stepped out of the bedroom just in case, and sure enough, the rest of the house was dark too. I was about to call Kim Juhyun when I remembered she had already gone home. She was a live-in housekeeper, but she went back to her own place on weekends. A different housekeeper came on weekends instead. Baek Mugyeong liked things tidy. Just as the interior of the newlywed house was stark to the point of being bleak, the number of staff was kept to a minimum. Besides the…

After marrying Baek Mugyeong, my daily schedule was simple. I worked as an intern at the art gallery for five hours, took English conversation lessons at the academy, and then came home. Since I’d already lived through this once, nothing felt particularly different. Being quietly excluded while working at the gallery was just like before the regression. No one went out of their way to speak to me kindly. Even the senior assigned to the seat next to mine didn’t look after me much. Most of my…

Before the regression, even though I had taken English conversation lessons from Lee Jeongwook for over a year, we had never contacted each other outside the academy. As one might expect from a renowned private tutor, he was a smooth talker, but he drew a clear line with me. I figured that was just his personality, and I hadn’t tried to get closer either. Still, even after just ten days apart, our exchanged greetings were polite. “Oh? Jeong Minchae, you’re an omega?” The classroom was…

“The Chairman will look into how Jeong Minchae uses the money. So don’t waste it, buy something you actually want, just as he said.” “…Understood.” The unexpected piece of information left my head spinning. I hadn’t imagined my use of the allowance would be monitored. Before the regression, I had been shocked just seeing the number in the account. A nine-digit figure went far beyond the usual definition of an allowance. By then, I had already reached an agreement with Baek…

At first, my sibling told me to upload more photos, but when I didn’t reply for a whole day, they started sending worried DMs every hour or two, asking if something had happened. I racked my brain desperately and replied that I had dropped my phone in the ocean and couldn’t contact them, that I was sorry. As I waited nervously, a reply came from my sibling within seconds. Seeing their message, asking if my phone was okay and saying they’d been so shocked when they couldn’t reach me, warmed a…

It was a wish filled with the desire to avoid what was coming. And that feeling hadn’t changed, even as I got older. * The first time I opened my eyes in bed, I just felt dazed. Seeing the ocean outside the window tinged red, I momentarily lost track of time. I almost fell back asleep, but then I remembered what had happened last night and jolted upright. But my waist and groin throbbed so badly it felt like they were about to split in two, and I groaned as I collapsed back onto the bed. I…

For some reason, I’d had cold symptoms since the day of the wedding. After taking medicine, I’d feel slightly better, only to get worse again. Maybe it was from alternating between freezing air-conditioned rooms and diving into the ocean. In the end, I gave up on ice cream and drank a warm cup of tea with honey instead. I told myself that if I took medicine before bed and skipped swimming tomorrow, I’d get better quickly. But my prediction was wrong. Just in case, I’d taken both cold…

Baek Mugyeong was quite serious, but I didn’t blame him. From my experience before the regression, Choi Jaeha was unpredictable, someone who could go off in any direction. “I really am fine, but if you feel that way, I’ll accept the apology. Please get back safely. I’ll be heading in now.” I gave a polite farewell and walked off first. Without looking back even once, I returned to the bungalow. * “Hey, ugly. You are using separate rooms from Mugyeong hyung, right?” So Baek…
