“You… this is…” Baek Mugyeong frowned as if he were about to say something. I wondered if he saw something strange and turned to look behind me, but then I felt something running from my nose and panicked. No way, surely that wasn’t snot. I’d had mild rhinitis since I was little, so eating something hot sometimes made my nose run. Still, I didn’t expect this to happen in the dry air of an airplane. I tried to act like nothing was wrong and wiped under my nose with the back of my…- 281.3 K • Completed
- I kept thinking about how I never told Baek Mugyeong that I liked him. I should have asked him what the bracelet meant, and I should have told him to apologize. In the end, what I wanted was to see him again. “Ah.” I set the bracelet down and rubbed my face. The feelings that never died out burned like embers. They rekindled and died again and again, and that made my mind restless. I grabbed my phone from beside the bed and impulsively opened the messenger app. I stopped typing…

- I didn’t need to gather courage. I spoke out what I thought and I turned around. “Jeong Minchae-ssi!” Baek Mugyeong blocked my way in an instant. I kicked his shin with all my strength. I wore indoors shoes here, so my toes didn’t hurt. I only wished I had worn sneakers instead of dress shoes. I ran out of the reception room, leaving Baek Mugyeong frowning behind me. Rob, who stood guard at the entrance, stopped him. I heard the two of them talking behind me, but I ignored it. I…

- “Minchae. A visitor's here.” “Yes.” “It's your visitor.” “...Me?” I reacted a little late to the unexpected words. No one was supposed to visit me now. Choi Jaeha wasn't coming for another ten days. Could it be my biological father sent someone? A lawyer? Was he trying to sue for damages? Maybe he wanted me to pay back the money he invested when I got married. If it was my biological father, he was the type who'd do that and more. But all my guesses were…

- “Ah, I should start by organizing my bag.” I turned around while stretching. The large suitcase spread out beside the bed was packed full. Mostly clothes and shoes I'd brought from Korea. I didn't know how long I'd stay here, but since I'd need to be here for at least a week, I had to sort through my luggage first. Crouching in front of the suitcase, I pulled out some clothes. Since they were summer clothes, they didn't take up much space in the closet. “Huh...?” While putting socks…

- “You think you’ll get away with this? You’ll get hurt too!” “Before I get hurt, your reputation will be dragged through the mud. The people who bought your paintings won’t let you off the hook, and Jeong Guhyeon will make for a perfect target too. So let’s not touch each other and live like strangers. No, just pretend I never existed. Then your secret will be kept forever, so don’t worry. I’ve said all I needed to say, so I’ll be leaving now.” I didn't want to see my biological…

- “How’s your body? Can you move around?” “Yes. I’m leaving now.” I regained consciousness and got discharged after three days. My strength was ruined from lying in bed for over a month, but I couldn’t afford to drag things out. If my biological father found out I’d come to my senses, things would get messy in so many ways. In this situation, striking first mattered more than waiting. Two more days of prep after my discharge and I went to meet my biological father. My stomach…

- “Um……” My mind was not very clear. But I felt I should let someone know I had woken up, so I called the caregiver. The woman who had been reading a book stood up and came over. The caregiver with a slender face was making a very startled expression. “You woke up?” “Yes.” “Thank goodness. Thank goodness. No, instead of this, I should tell the nurse. Wait a moment.” The caregiver whose eyes were brimming with tears ran out of the room. I was a little surprised because…

- Even days later, just hearing Jeong Minchae's name made his heart skip a beat. The slightest lapse in focus brought him back to mind. Even now, a single message was enough to make his head spin. Before the regression, Baek Mugyeong hadn't attended the charity bazaar, so he didn't know exactly what had happened. He only learned later that Im Songyoon had been tormenting Jeong Minchae. She was given trivial errands, provoked in his face, and had malicious rumors spread about him. At the time, Jeong…

- After his wife passed away, Baek Yeongseop lived with his parents. But he spent more nights away from home than he did at home. He lived in hotels or private villas purchased under the company's name for more than half the year. If Jake was right, the original footage was most likely at the villa. He might have even taken it to Tongyeong. It was a risky move, but Baek Yeongseop was entirely capable of it. Baek Mugyeong relayed this information to Jake. After some brief small talk, they ended the…
