Chapter 31 When the boy received my question, which was shamelessly turning the tables on him, he did not show much of a reaction. He simply stared at me quietly. I had the feeling that my pathetic tactic as a pathetic adult had been seen through, and cold sweat ran down my spine. Fortunately, perhaps because he had some consideration, understanding, and respect for a somewhat inadequate adult, after a few seconds of silence, the boy adjusted his glasses. “I suppose it means saving…-

Chapter 30 When was the last time I visited an exhibition at the National Museum of Korea? I don't even remember. And the memory of my last visit has been updated every day for the past week. In other words, I had been stamping my attendance card there for an entire week. "At this point, isn't it just that he's not here?" "After leaving Ajin at the museum, I have also been searching through the larger department stores and cafes nearby." A boy around his early to mid-teens who…

Chapter 29 “Anyway, precisely because of that, if he does not cause any problems in his daily life, there is a high chance that he is simply being left alone. If ‘Green’ has already failed to escape several times, they might have assigned a watcher to him. But regardless, from ‘Green’s’ point of view, the watcher would not be that important, would he? What matters is whether he runs into his father or not.” While I instinctively closed my mouth at how unpleasantly he had put it,…

Chapter 28 “It’s the same whether he’s a father or a teacher. Even if he was a teacher, he was nothing more than a bystander and accomplice who pretended not to know the facts he could roughly guess.” I instinctively opened and closed my lips before barely managing to speak. Even if this sounded like deception to Railey, I couldn’t help it. In the end, I couldn’t completely hide the hint of blame in my voice. “…Isn’t that why we’re trying to make sure it doesn’t turn…

Chapter 27 No matter what, searching for that “husband” in the middle of Seoul naturally continued to produce slow and unsatisfactory results. After searching day and night for three days, we were practically forced to grab a nearby café and sit down because I had gotten slightly overheated from walking around under the scorching sun. Once we sat down, we roughly organized the information we had gathered so far. What does Green look like? I don't know. According to the setting, he wears…

Chapter 26 It took about the amount of time needed to finish one pudding for the misunderstanding to be cleared up. Well, slightly longer than the time it would normally take to finish one pudding. In front of Railey, who was thoughtfully scooping up another bite and practically forcing me to eat while I listlessly picked at the food because I had completely lost my appetite, Dr. Jeong Sihoon slowly—very slowly, incredibly slowly—finished a pudding with an expression as if he had…

Chapter 25 “Anyway, I see. Since some of the elements have already matched, we can’t completely rule out the possibility that the other elements might match as well. So you and your boyfriend are going to first check whether the boy who could become Green actually exists, just in case. And if the worst comes to pass… well, you’ll prevent things beforehand so that a ‘novel-like ending’ doesn’t happen?” “Yes, yes.” A ‘novel-like ending.’ In fact, the incident that happens to…

Chapter 24 “I was honored to hear your very grateful review. So, if I understand correctly, you don't have any particularly productive thoughts.” After roughly organizing his notebook and slipping it into the pocket around his chest, he sighed as if wondering what else he could possibly expect from me. “Let's meet the person who is supposedly an acquaintance of Ms. Ajin first, then decide what to do. There is no way of knowing how much that person believed what Ms. Ajin told him, but…

Chapter 23 There were mountains of things I had to do, and not a single one of them was certain. Still, if I had to name just one problem that was right in front of us, it would have to be the matter of Park Hee-gyeom, the student who was currently being bombarded by the entire world, and Yellow. And right now, both of them were at Seran University Hospital. Since both of them had ended up heading to Seran University Hospital as a result of Railey's involvement, there was no way for me to…

Chapter 22 Regardless of whether my expression crumpled or not, Railey added belatedly with his usual smug, satisfied smile. His tone was annoyingly patronizing, as if he were soothing a child, but the content was not even that comforting. “Anyway, if I were to evaluate it sincerely, it was the most pathetic consolation in the world.” “I never asked for your evaluation.” “Are you growling again?” “Stop treating me like a cat!” Whether I gritted my teeth and pulled…
