“When you can trust me completely, when you’re truly ready to be with me forever—then we’ll do the marking.” That was what “Iden” had said the first time Seowon brought up wanting to mark him. For him, marking was a matter of trust and commitment. “I never share my Omega with anyone once I’ve decided they’re mine. Since pheromones can sometimes spiral out of control, especially in heat or rut, there’s no reason to hesitate if there’s a way to manage it…-

Seowon had always been a sharp shooter. When asked how he could be so skilled in shooting, along with his Taekwondo and Hapkido training, he’d joked that it was because Koreans were descendants of Jumong, the famous archer. But now, he seemed even more precise than before. His focus on the target board was intense, almost frightening. With the entire shooting range to himself, it was easy for him to concentrate, yet his gaze was so fixed on the target that it felt obsessive. Even with Iden and the…

Bang. The gunshot echoed, tightening around my heart. Ah, that dream again. Even though I knew it was just a dream, my body wouldn’t move. It felt like I was paralyzed, bound by an invisible weight. I watched him die, feeling as if my chest was being torn apart. Only then did my eyes open. Gasp. A rough breath escaped, and my eyelids finally lifted. Opening my eyes was harder than usual. Seowon slowly recalled what he’d done last night. Did I… really die? The thought floated vaguely in his mind…

At first, he wondered if his memory was just wrong, or maybe he hadn’t woken up for a long time after plunging into the lake. But no, that wasn’t it. Checking Iden’s tablet in his room, he realized only one day had passed since he jumped into the lake. It wasn’t possible for a building to suddenly appear or his house to change locations within just one day. He thought, Am I still dreaming? Or could this really be the afterlife? But it was hard to dismiss it as a dream or the afterlife when his…

Though he didn’t understand how Iden, who had supposedly gone to the United States ten years ago, was still his partner, it was clear they were still together in this timeline. It made sense, given his body’s reaction to Iden’s pheromones as his marked partner. “Did I mark him?” he asked, though unsure. For him, Iden was the only Alpha whose pheromones he responded to. But if marking hadn’t happened here, it was possible he wasn’t Iden’s only Omega. “It would be best if you…

“I don’t think this is a very wise choice,” Min finally spoke up, watching Seowon equip the protective gear. When Seowon glanced back, Min let out a deep sigh. “I really wish you’d reconsider.” It was clear Min was genuinely opposed to Seowon becoming Iden’s bodyguard. “If you’re worried I’ll be a burden, don’t be. I won’t let that happen.” “No, that’s not it. I know your skills well, Seowon.” Even though this was practically their first meeting, Min claimed…

Seowon had a lot on his mind. The fact that Iden was a mafia heir hadn’t changed. If he’d moved to the United States back in high school, then it was likely he held that position more firmly than Seowon remembered. So, was there no one currently after his life? No, that couldn’t be right. “I won’t ever let him stand in front of me to protect me again.” He’d said those words—something about stepping forward to protect him and taking a bullet to the chest. Still, the Seowon here…

Seowon’s chest rose and fell heavily. He exhaled deeply, struggling to lift his eyelids. The sight of an unfamiliar ceiling was no longer surprising. “You’re awake?” He turned his head towards the sound of Iden’s voice. Iden had pulled a chair right up next to the bed, sitting there as he looked down at Seowon. Seowon stared at him silently, taking another deep breath. He didn’t know what to ask. Everything was wrong. He had been unsettled enough already. After being swept up in…

When I lightly turned the doorknob, luckily, it didn’t seem to be locked. Judging from the voices coming from the other side of the door, there were about two people… If there were no others, I could probably break through. After ending my moment of hesitation, I threw the door open and immediately bent low. I grabbed the waist of the large man standing in front of me and pushed him back, causing him to stumble and fall backward in surprise at the sudden attack. “Catch him!” As the fallen…

Min took a short breath as he checked the contents of the file envelope once again. What in the world was going on? How could someone exist who looked exactly like Ha Seowon? It was too exact to dismiss as a mere resemblance. He could understand why Iden’s usually impassive face had frozen when they found this person by the lake. Unless they were identical twins, this was impossible. Min himself had witnessed Seowon’s death and the entire cremation and funeral process. Could the dead have returned…
