Synopsis
Through her fluttering eyelids, the incredibly handsome man from her dreams pulled her into a tight embrace.
His body heat wrapped around her warmly. The subtle scent of a mature man tickled her nose. His broad shoulders were so spacious that even when she was in his arms, there was still plenty of room.
But at that very moment, a tiny crack appeared in her sense of reality.
Huh? Why does this feel so real?
In an instant, Sa-hae’s consciousness snapped wide awake.
“KYAAAA!”
Instinctively, she shoved the man away with all her might. With the strength of someone fighting for her life—or rather, someone who had just come back from the dead.
The man lost his balance and toppled backward.
“Y-You! You… you perverted bastard!”
As Ju-hyeok tried to get back up, his legs nearly gave way again. Sa-hae was glaring at him in full battle mode, holding a water bottle like a weapon.
“Sa… Sa-hae.”
No matter how much he’d talked about divorce, was the very thought of touching him really that unbearable to her?
Watching her hostility, Ju-hyeok struggled to suppress the complicated emotions swirling inside him.
He steadied his unsteady legs and cautiously took a step forward—
Something came flying toward him, tracing a perfect arc through the air.
THWACK!
The impact came before the sound.
The water bottle struck him squarely in the middle of his forehead. His knees buckled instantly, and he collapsed onto the floor.
With its cap open, the bottle rolled across the floor, and the remaining water poured out in one perfectly aimed splash, soaking Ju-hyeok’s face.
Not long afterward, Sa-hae’s parents hurried into the hospital room, pushing open the door with breathless expressions.
Ju-hyeok calmly and carefully explained Sa-hae’s current condition, as he had heard it from her attending physician.
And someone was quietly watching the entire scene from the head of the bed.
It was none other than Hwa Sa-hae.
So, you’re telling me I’ve lost my memory?
Amnesia? Seriously… What kind of ridiculous plot twist is that?
Sa-hae kept shaking her head, grumbling under her breath. Then, suddenly, she stopped dead.
Wait a minute.
Then that means… I’m not sixteen anymore. I’m twenty-eight…
Which means—
I’m not a middle school student anymore, am I?
Sa-hae’s eyes widened.
Then does that mean I don’t have to go to cram school today?
Homework? Performance assessments? Exams?
…I don’t have to do any of that?
They’re completely gone?
The moment that realization sank into her brain, the corners of Sa-hae’s lips began to curl upward ever so slowly.
Her small shoulders trembled with barely contained excitement.
Holy crap… This is amazing!
Isn’t this an absolute jackpot?!
This was nothing short of winning the lottery!
