CHAPTERS
As soon as I spat out that curse, Baek Mugyeong looked taken aback. Not that I cared, I kept going. “And I wasn’t talking about you either, Baek Mugyeong. I mean, it’s fine to tell me to be careful, but why say you’ll introduce me to an alpha? I’m not a saint, but I do have a conscience, you know. I’m not going to cheat, so just keep that in mind!” All the frustration I’d kept bottled up came bursting out. By the end, my voice was even trembling. Still, letting it all out made me…- 281.3 K • Completed
- “Just so you know, this marriage has nothing to do with my own will.” That, I remembered. Baek Mugyeong had said the same thing during our honeymoon. Since it was a political marriage neither of us wanted, he had drawn a line: let’s not interfere in each other’s lives. And throughout our married life, he had stuck to those words. “I feel the same way.” I gave the same reply I had back then, only this time, I truly meant it. Living like business partners, as expected from a…

- I didn’t have years of experience in the adult world, but I’d seen enough to know all kinds of things happened. Love triangles among married people were the bare minimum, sometimes it went as far as squares or even pentagons. I’d witnessed people accusing each other of sleeping with this guy or that woman and then getting into screaming fights. Once, I even saw two of them grabbing each other’s hair and rolling on the floor. According to my values, cheating after marriage was…

- The reason my biological father’s bullshit sounded so convincing was because he didn’t just explode in anger, he spoke slowly and deliberately, as if explaining something reasonable. Before the regression, I used to get tense, thinking I’d really made a mistake. But now, I just let it wash over me. Ridiculous as it was, I actually felt a little relieved to realize he hadn’t changed one bit from before. “When are you getting discharged?” “They said I need a few days of rest, so…

- “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…

- 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…
