"WOAH!"
Koo Mujin couldn't help but yell when he saw his reflection in the mirror.
As soon as he realized that he was wearing a school uniform with the name of Lee Haneum's old high school, he immediately ran to the bathroom and locked himself inside.
Then he stood in front of the mirror, shocked.
"Is this really me?" Koo Mujin asked in disbelief, touching his face. "I look really young!"
He liked how his face was still the same, only younger (naturally).
But what he didn't like was how he looked skinny under his heavy winter uniform (shirt, blazer and tie, trousers).
Worried about the state of his muscles, he lifted his shirt.
And he was pretty disappointed with what he saw.
Yes, his stomach was still toned.
But his eight-pack abs were gone.
As of the moment, that body only had a four-pack, and they weren't that prominent yet.
I should work harder… wait, this isn't the right time to worry about my abs!
"What's happening?" Koo Mujin asked himself, still in disbelief. "I didn't go back in time because I didn't attend the same high school as Haneum…"
He trailed off, and then he screamed while pulling his hair out of frustration.
"Haneum-ah…!"
Koo Mujin clearly remembered seeing his husband get into a car accident.
So, what was he doing here?
He couldn't really remember what happened after seeing a white truck crash into Lee Haneum's car.
"Yah, Koo Mujin!"
Koo Mujin flinched when he heard his older sister, Koo Mido, yelling while slamming his hands on the bathroom door.
Mido Noona is still as barbaric as ever…
"Why do you keep yelling? And are you talking to yourself?" Koo Mido asked, irritated. But despite that, his older sister's voice still sounded concerned. "Are you alright? If you feel sick, then it's okay not to go to school today. It's just the first day of class anyway."
What?
First day of class?
Fuck, I became a high school student again.
Koo Mujin wasn't too pleased about that since he wouldn't say that he was a good student.
Moreover…
Does it mean I need to enlist again?!
Ah, that was a ridiculous thought.
This was only a dream, after all.
And, if this is just a dream, then maybe I'll get to meet Lee Haneum here?
Of course, Koo Mujin was still worried about the Lee Haneum of the real world.
But what could he do when he was stuck here?
Maybe Haneum and I need to meet first, and then we'll wake up together.
"Alright, let's do this," Koo Mujin said determinedly, and then he slapped his cheeks really hard. It was worrying that it hurt like hell, so it felt like he wasn't dreaming. But he ignored it for now. "Let's find Haneum first. He's smarter than me, so maybe he'll figure out what's going on."
"Koo Mujin, what did I just hear?" Koo Mido yelled again, slamming the door harder this time. "Did you hurt yourself? Come out now before I break the door, you stupid brat!"
"Fine, I'm coming out, Noona."
When Koo Mujin got out of the bathroom, Koo Mido gasped after seeing his face.
Ah, the fingerprints on my cheeks…
"What the hell did you do?" Koo Mido asked worriedly. "Why did you slap yourself? If you wanted to get hurt, then you should have told me. I would have slapped you myself."
Koo Mujin just sighed, already used to her oldest sister's 'violence.' "Noona, I'm going to school now."
"Are you sure you're in your right mind to attend school?"
"Yes, Noona. I'm not crazy, so stop making it sound like I'm one."
"Alright, then. And please don't show your new classmates how much of a lunatic you are," Koo Mido said, sighing while shaking her head. "I don't want the Busan kids to think that Seoul kids are weird like you."
"Huh? We're in Busan? Not in Seoul?"
Wait, that should be right.
I went to high school in Seoul while Haneum in Busan, that's why we only met in Seoul when he got accepted into Yonhee University.
So, that was another big change.
After all, my family has never stayed in Busan before, even though our company's headquarters is located here.
Now he was starting to get nervous about the big changes in this 'world.'
"Koo Mujin, you're acting weirder than usual," Koo Mido commented worriedly. "Are you acting out because our parents aren't here yet?"
Really?
Come to think of it, even his second-oldest sister wasn't there.
He was curious about Koo Mihyeon's whereabouts, but…
"Noona, let's talk about that later," Koo Mujin said hurriedly. "I really need to go to school now."
***
AH, maybe I got sucked inside a novel or something.
While Koo Mujin was in the backseat of the car, the realization suddenly hit him.
Lee Haneum loved reading novels and webcomics, and most of the genre his husband enjoyed reading revolved around being 'isekaid' or reborn in a different world.
And, when that happened, the main character was usually granted with one thing.
"System!" Koo Mujin yelled, staring blankly into the air. "Come out, System!"
Of course, nothing happened.
Tsk.
"Uhm, Young Master, we're already here."
Oh.
Mr. Park, their middle-aged driver-slash-bodyguard, informed him politely.
But it was clear that Mr. Park was weirded out by Koo Mujin's actions.
Not that I care.
"Thank you, Mr. Park," Koo Mujin said. "Drive safely."
Mr. Park only bowed politely.
Koo Mujin then stepped out of the car, slightly shocked when he realized that he was in front of Sowoon High School's main gate.
For some reason, the students were staring at him.
But he didn't have time to wonder why.
I need to find Lee Haneum…
Oh?
Koo Mujin's brain buffered when he immediately saw the person that he was looking for.
And, just like that, everything around him seemed to have moved in slow motion.
Everyone and everything became nothing but a background while he watched Lee Haneum walk towards him.
Naturally, his husband looked younger than his current age.
No, he looked just like how he did when they first met.
But nothing had changed.
Koo Mujin immediately fell in love with Lee Haneum all over again.
He's so beautiful…
And then it happened.
Lee Haneum lifted his head and met Koo Mujin's eyes.
Honey…
He felt emotional.
Before Koo Mujin knew it, his body had already moved on its own— running towards Lee Haneum and hugging him tight.
Ah, this fragrant scent of fresh flowers…
It was really Lee Haneum.
"Do you want to fucking die, you filthy Alpha?"
What?
Koo Mujin froze in shock when he heard those filthy and cold words come out of Lee Haneum's mouth…
… followed by something sharp stabbing his side.
Oh.
When Koo Mujin looked down, he realized that Lee Haneum had stabbed him with a pointed ballpen.
And then the awful realization hit him.
The Leen Haneum of this world doesn't have the real Lee Haneum's memories!
