It’s not a dream!Kael was convinced he had truly traveled back in time so that things could change—even from Lucas’s perspective. And if he had another chance, that meant he might be able to win Eira back.With confident strides, Kael ran into the abandoned building. Wild plants had taken root all over the building’s walls.“Kael, there’s no one there!” Lucas shouted.But Kael didn’t care. He climbed the stairs toward the unit where he’d last seen Eira.“EIRA!” Kael searched for Eira in the room, which was overrun with mold, and some of the walls looked like they were crumbling.Kael spun around, hoping Eira would appear before him in this life. Perhaps there was something he could do now that he’d returned to the past to rewrite the course of Eira’s life.“You’re here, aren’t you? Show yourself, Eira! I promise I’ll love you more than anything!” Kael shouted in a hoarse voice.He forced his weakened body to make his way to that old building—searching for Eira, who wasn’t there.Feel

The next day, everyone was surprised by Kael’s appearance at the company after he had taken a long leave of absence.Rumors about Kael’s descent into madness following Eira’s death had already spread widely by word of mouth. There were even rumors circulating that the company was about to get a new leader, which left all the employees stunned by the appearance of their big boss.It wasn’t because he’d received sexual favors from Alice—Kael had decided on his own to experience a little bit of life.“Kael?” Lucas was surprised when he saw Kael.While Kael was in poor condition, Lucas had indeed frequently visited the company to check that everything was running smoothly.“Thank you for helping me. But I’m fine now,” Kael told Lucas.He sat calmly in his chair and looked at his computer screen, which Lucas had likely just been using to enter data.Lucas was still in shock seeing Kael—who had looked so terrible just yesterday—now sitting across from him, looking far better than he had even

Kael watched Eira as she tidied up the house, cooked, and did the laundry. He kept following her wherever she went, as if he were trying to make the most of every single moment they spent together.Although puzzled, Eira didn’t dare to say anything. Being followed like that was enough to make Eira uncomfortable, even though she was only planning to do the chores she was supposed to do.After all, Kael had been living on his own since both his parents passed away. So she tried to take care of all of Kael’s daily needs.“Aren’t you going to work?” Eira finally asked, growing annoyed with Kael constantly trailing behind her.“No,” Kael replied quickly.“Weren’t you just officially named the head of your father’s company? Go on. I’m not going to steal anything from this house.”At that moment, Eira thought Kael might slap her and accuse her of stealing his parents’ trust—and even their lives.But instead of receiving that scolding, Eira felt Kael’s large hand gently stroke her hair.“You’

Wet, slurping sounds began to fill every corner of the car. Eira tried to pull her face away from Kael but couldn’t because he was holding her in place with his hand. To make matters worse, Eira was starting to run out of breath.Kael paid no attention to Eira’s slight resistance—her body seemed to weaken from the shock of Kael’s sudden kiss.Who knows what was going through Kael’s mind; he just wanted to do more than just a quick peck. He wanted to do everything he’d missed out on in the future, once Eira became his wife.“Kael, stop!” Eira managed to push Kael’s chest away from her.Their heavy, labored breathing echoed back and forth. Eira’s eyes were glistening—and she couldn’t bring herself to look at Kael, who had suddenly launched an advance that shouldn’t have been made by people who didn’t love each other.“Eira, I want more.” Kael brought his face closer again, but Eira immediately turned her face away.“Kael, I’m going to be late for my job interview,” she said.Kael finall

Nothing was going the way Kael wanted. He was supposed to be improving his relationship with Eira—but the result was quite the opposite. Since the incident the other day, Eira had been keeping her distance from Kael even more.There was no other explanation as to how to cure Eira of her hanahaki.Eira continued to take care of Kael’s daily needs, and it didn’t bother her to be in his presence. It was just that she had become so quiet and wouldn’t say a word unless Kael spoke to her first.Even then, Eira would only respond to what she considered important.Kael wouldn’t give up. He still desperately wanted his relationship with Eira to improve, for her hanahaki to be cured soon, and for them to return to the future with a new life.“Eira, at least say a few words to me,” said Kael, who had taken the bold step of visiting the café where Eira worked.“Kael, there are lots of customers here. Please understand,” replied Eira without meeting Kael’s gaze.She’d never forgotten what Kael had
