CHAPTERS
I carried on with my schedule as usual. After work, I headed to the academy for class. When I got home, I checked the footage from the small camera I had set up in the dressing room and reviewed the stock market trends. Life was back to normal. From the end of the year into the beginning of the next, a string of holidays came one after another. Christmas, New Year’s, and Lunar New Year were all packed into the span of a single month. When my parents were alive, I was just a student and played…- 281.3 K • Completed
- There wasn’t much that could be done for a bruise. Cold compresses and applying cream for a day or two was the best that could be done. The doctor who issued the two-week injury report said that it would heal faster with laser treatment a few days later. After booking an appointment for two days later, I picked up my medication at the pharmacy. The ride home was cloaked in silence. When Baek Mugyeong parked in the basement garage, I couldn’t hold back my anxiety any longer and blurted…

- His academy was nearly a subway stop away from here. Unless he had come looking on purpose, running into him so precisely like this was nearly impossible, making it all the more suspicious. “Yes. I’ve been doing well. You look good too, teacher. I have class now, so I’ll be going.” “Wait, we need to talk.” “Sorry?” “I told you, didn’t I? Everything went to shit because of you.” I had been trying to get away from Lee Jeongwook as quickly as possible, so his sudden…

- It had only been a few months since my regression. I’d been digging around relentlessly, and eventually, I found something. I didn’t let it sit. Instead, I used my lunch break to meet my biological father. —The intern? Heard he’s the child of a mistress. —Really? —For real? —Yeah. —I heard that too. —Wow. And he still works here? That’s bold. He must know himself. —He doesn’t resemble the Director at all. —So the Director raised a mistress’s child all…

- “How about you, Director?” “Me? Of course I was summoned by my elder brother. Drank too much, and now I’ve got heartburn,” Baek Daehan replied, rubbing his stomach with a cheeky grin. “What are you going to do?” “Report him, obviously. Why? Were you worried I’d follow my brother’s orders?” “Yes.” Baek Mugyeong answered honestly. If Baek Yeongseop had made a move, Baek Jaehan wouldn’t be staying quiet either. It was only natural for him to pressure someone of Baek…

- Baek Yeongseop, annoyed by the hassle, insisted on meeting that night, but Baek Mugyeong firmly refused. In the end, they agreed to meet for lunch the next day and ended the call. When he glanced down at the phone’s glowing screen and saw how long the call had lasted, Baek Mugyeong frowned. He knew the future, at least for the next two years. He especially remembered details about the U.S. economy, and in just two months, he had already made an enormous amount of money. But gold alone couldn’t…

- 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…

- “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…
