"Yeonseo, have you rested?"

"Yeah."

A fern-like hand reaches out to shake the hand of the one being extended. The owner of the hand is Yoo Eunho, who, despite being small, walks unsteadily while holding his younger brother.

"Shall we go to the sea?"

"The sea!"

The surroundings seem exotic, as if they are on vacation abroad. Under the warm sunlight, there is an emerald sea and a white sandy beach. Young Yeo Yeonseo, captivated by the enchanting scenery, opens her mouth wide and gazes at the sparkling light on the sea.

"Hey, kids."

Yoo Geonmin smiles broadly as he brings his sons closer. It's truly heartwarming. Although the fatherhood is still evident... He lifts both his sons with both hands, and Yoo Eunho and Yeo Yeonseo giggle.

"And where's Mom?"

"Mom is over there. Shall we go to Mom?"

In response to Yeo Yeonseo's question, Yoo Geonmin heads towards the beach.

"Hey."

A woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat under a parasol turns around. Heeseo's face is still not clearly visible.

"Hey, kids!"

Heeseo, with a face that seems shaky, waves her hand.

"...Ah."

Yeo Yeonseo, who has just woken up, blinks his eyes. His head feels dizzy. His chest is fluttering, but since he has already vomited and lost consciousness, there is nothing more to come out. Perhaps remnants of the happy emotions lingered because of this.

'Yoo Geonmin and Heeseo seem to get along well...'

It had been reported in various media that it was a meeting between the second-generation chaebol and the top star. Yoo Geonmin used his background to press Heeseo and marry her. There had even been articles in magazines with low-level content stating that Yoo Geonmin was Heesuh's sponsor.

But according to common rumors, Yoo Geonmin fell for Heeseo at first sight and pursued her persistently. If someone saw what he saw, they would be sure that the rumor was true.

'It's not an environment that would drive someone to suicide.'

Or is it because of the grandfather? Because of the yet-to-be-met grandmother and aunts? Even if Yoo Geonmin has a weak personality, wouldn't he have the determination to protect his wife from his relatives?

'But it doesn't seem likely...'

Still, he was not someone weak just because he was the chairman's son.

So, is the suspicion about the original body really true?

It's worth doubting, but there is still no evidence. Yeo Yeonseo deliberately steered away from thoughts about that incident. It seemed troublesome to get involved in such matters.

Yeo Yeonseo thinks about the scene he saw before. The way the remaining people lived even after Heeseo left.

'Come to think of it, what happened to me in 2207?'

If he successfully time-traveled, someone must have taken care of his body. Although there are regrets in his life after Kang Jinhoo, he did miss the human relationships he had in those days.

Anyway, the current Yeo Yeonseo has put aside his conscience.

"Beta, how long did I lose consciousness?"

"It's 2 hours, 16 minutes, and 23 seconds."

Having woken up in the early morning and synchronized her memories, he still had plenty of time before the lesson. Yeo Yeonseo throws the bloodstained towel into the washing machine and heads to the kitchen.
