“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…- 281.3 K • Completed
- After the regression, I had felt this kind of dissonance several times. It was as if my feet were lifting off the ground and I were about to be sucked somewhere. When confused, shock worked best. I deliberately slapped both my cheeks with my hands. The sting snapped me to my senses. “That hurt.” I rubbed my tingling cheeks. There was still a lot to do. I couldn’t just space out over something like this. I sat down in the nearest chair and picked up my phone. I needed to let my sibling…

- Prerequisite “Gasp!” My body jolted like I was having a seizure, and my eyes flew open. I shot up in bed, breathless. A rush of information came crashing into my head all at once. Judging by the sunlight filtering through the blackout curtains, it was morning. Last night, Jeong Guhyeon had poured alcohol and drug into my mouth. The shock was like being electrocuted, I couldn’t breathe. I… didn’t die? I was sure I’d be killed. Taking strong medication with alcohol was one of…

- 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…

- I was confused by the sudden remark. Then, I realized that the subsequent explanation was actually encouragement. I burst out laughing. No matter how much he is biased, this was too much. “Wow. You really only see your hyung.” “All my friends said you're handsome, too. It's true.” I put my arm around Sejun's shoulder, and leaned against him. My younger brother, who had grown up so much since coming to America, no longer fit entirely in one arm. My younger brother, who was on my side…

- “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…

- “Let’s wash together.” “I don’t want to.” “You refused so readily. Aren’t you disappointed that we left what we were doing earlier unfinished?” “I don't feel any regret. You're going to see it through to the end anyway.” “I won't do it.” “I don't believe it.” “To think that there is so much misunderstanding and distrust between us.” Although a conversation about a lack of trust had taken place, Jeong Minchae did not pull his hand away from Baek…

- 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…
