Chapter 4 What just happened? I stared blankly up at him. I was so shocked that I could only blink, and in my field of vision, I saw his clear eyes smiling brightly at me.

Chapter 3 He’s still blindingly beautiful. Swallowing nervously, I looked him over carefully. Golden hair that shone brilliantly like the sun, and clear aquamarine eyes so beautiful that I hesitated even to meet his gaze. Smooth, fair skin, a high and perfectly straight nose, and lips that curved gently upward at the corners. If an angel from one of the temple murals were to descend into the real world, wouldn't he look exactly like this? The fact that he was wearing a pure-white uniform…

Chapter 2 No, this couldn’t possibly be true. This was absolutely ridiculous! “Laura, Laura!” “Yes! What is it?! A headache? Dizziness?” At my shout, Laura burst through the door. “You know…… why. Last week, when I didn’t come home…….” I glanced at Laura and spoke carefully. I wanted to ask, “Did I happen to spend the night somewhere last week?” but I had no idea what kind of misunderstanding that might cause. So instead, I deliberately tried to sound as…

Chapter 12 The Forty-Year-Old Man Hides His Age (4) Perhaps because I had sweated everything out and slept soundly in bed, the cold symptoms I had the previous day had completely disappeared. The day after the twenty-third-round match against Real Valladolid. Nicholas had just opened his eyes and sat up in bed feeling refreshed. The sunlight pouring through the window felt wonderful. It seemed to reflect his current physical condition. No fever. No cough. No headache. His body felt a…
