スマートフォンに、貴子からのメッセージが届いた。 【道中気をつけて。新しい人生は、自分のために生きなさい】 私はスマートフォンから涼介と結衣に関するすべての連絡先を削除し、きびすを返して搭乗口へと向かった。

“그렇지 않아요!” 변현민은 벌떡 일어나 눈에 눈물을 가득 담고 외쳤다. “엄마는 저 안 싫어해요! 그냥 지금은 새아기가 생겨서 잠깐 저를 안 좋아하는 거예요! 그 아기만 없어지면 예전처럼 저를 다시 사랑해 줄 거예요!”

전생에 이연주는 극도의 공포와 당혹감으로 인해 난산을 겪었다. 하루 꼬박 밤낮을 진통하고서야 아이를 낳았고, 태어난 아이는 몸이 몹시 허약했다. 이번 생에는 두 시진도 채 되지 않아 아이를 낳았고, 산모와 아이 모두 무사했다.

마음속에서 아이가 이 세상에 태어나지 않은 게 어쩌면 다행이라는 생각이 조금씩 피어오르기 시작했다. ‘임수혁, 넌 반드시 후회할 거야!’

Right before my flight took off, my phone was suddenly filled with missed calls. I didn't answer any of them. Instead, I snapped the SIM card in half and threw it into the trash bin. As soon as I got off the plane, I finally saw my mom, whom I hadn't seen in person for seven years. She looked much older than she had in our video calls, or maybe she had been using a filter. Suddenly, my tears wouldn't stop. She only patted my back and comforted me. "Come now, why are you crying so suddenly? Did you miss me that much? Whatever it is, we can talk about it after this."

And then everything changed. Again.

I wiped my tears with the back of my palm as I headed out of the apartment, not before picking up the file, and as I stepped outside through the gate, my phone pinged with a text. An alert of five hundred thousand dollars was displayed on the screen when I checked it. I was still staring at the alert when a text from my aunt came in. ‘This should be enough to start a new life. Good luck’

It was unfamiliar, but real. And for the first time in a long time, I am not thinking about what I have lost… …but what I am about to gain. A new life. A fresh start. A happy beginning.

"Eve, I messed up. But I'm here now. Give me another chance. Bond with me. I'll spend my life making it right. I'll never let you suffer again—swear it." Gasps cracked through the air, followed by a wave of whispers.
