The cries of frogs and grasshoppers and the rustling of leaves in the wind filled his ears.
It was shady under the crepe myrtle tree with red flowers in full bloom, but every time the wind blew, the leaves swayed, letting the sunlight slip through. Every time Kang Inheon’s black hair received the sunlight, it shined with gloss. Each time, he’d frown intermittently as if gold dust had found its way into his mouth.
Perhaps because he felt a bit hot, sweat beaded on his forehead and his face was clear. A heavy sense of affection flooded in. Careful not to wake him, Lee Juwon reached out and shaded the sunlight from his eyes.
An unexplained feeling of disharmony gripped him. The feeling didn’t last long. Lee Juwon made eye contact with Kang Inheon, who had awoken from his sleep at some point.
The clear eyes with no traces of sleepiness stared at Lee Juwon. After a moment of unnecessary heart palpitations, Kang Inheon grabbed Lee Juwon’s hand that covered his eyes and suddenly pulled him down.
The wooden bench wasn’t all that small, but since the big Kang Inheon was laying on it, it felt very cramped. There wasn’t enough room for another person. When Lee Juwon squirmed, he hugged him tighter and whispered, “I’ve been waiting for you to wake me up and kiss me…”
The voice touching the rim of his ear was ticklish. Just as much, his soft lips lay upon his eyelid.
“What are you doing just trawling with your eyes and…” Kang Inheon stroked Lee Juwon’s lips with his thumb and continued, “Not using your lips…”
“…Hunter Kang.”
“I told you it’s honey…”
Pressing down hard on the centre of his thick upper lip, Kang Inheon grinned.
“Or do you want to do another company situation play?”
“N-no…”
Thinking about that time, he felt feverish again. Or maybe the fever had started when he was peeping at Kang Inheon sleeping.
“There’s something I’m curious about…”
Lee Juwon changed the subject and tried to get up, but he couldn’t because Kang Inheon kissed him here and there and pulled him into a hug. The sunlight coming through the leaves, their bodies hugging each other, and their lips falling on each other were all warm.
“Yeah?”
“…What about the Lily from… before Noah regressed?”
The Lily who had a mouth but didn’t know where to use it. It was something that bothered him more when he read the novel than the fact that Noah, the director of a multinational company, was 25 years old.
“Isn’t it the Lily from after the regression that Noah reflects on and loves again? Then… is that the end for the dead Lily before the regression?”
Kang Inheon was quiet for a moment before soon speaking in a voice mixed with laughter, “Every Lily is the same Lily, so why are you distinguishing them?”
He was laughing, but strangely enough, Kang Inheon’s body temperature seemed to drop a little as it was cold.
“…Turning back time doesn’t make everything go away. If Noah has regrettable memories, then Lily must have existed to share them with him…”
“……”
“Then, what about that Lily…?”
“Haa… I wonder what the hell you’re thinking with this little head of yours…”
It was Noah’s line before going to bed. When Lee Juwon looked at him startled, Kang Inheon shook his head and continued, “People read that book to see how good and happy Noah is with Lily after being desperately regretful.”
Their eyes met, and Kang Inheon laughed. His eyes became thinner and folded.
“Shouldn’t you, too?” Running his fingers through Lee Juwon’s hair, he playfully recited Noah’s line again, “Just don’t think about anything like an idiot.”
It was the same as when he read it, but hearing it with his ears made his cochlea constrict even more, and he shuddered. In an instant, he was crushed under the weight of their overlapped bodies as Kang Inheon changed the upper and lower position of their embrace. His breath caught in his throat as the hot, sweaty body heavily pressed down on him.
“Ugh…!”
Their foreheads touched and the tips of their noses met. Soon, even their lips overlapped.
The large hand around his neck and the tip of his tongue licking his lower lip was hot and wet. The slippery scarlet lump of muscle pushed through his lips. The kiss was still as sweet as honey. While intoxicated by the kiss, a long finger that had unknowingly slipped into his pants at some point stroked the shaft of his cock.
“Ngh…!”
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Lee Juwon was startled and grabbed Kang Inheon’s wrist. However, Kang Inheon’s big hand dug deeper. His eyes widened at the compromising situation.
“A-all of a sudden…”
“What do you mean all of a sudden…?”

Kang Inheon wasn’t the only thing that wasn’t going his way. When Kang Inheon rubbed his tip with his thick thumb, his penis grew excited against his will and stood up hardened.

His baggy shorts were pulled down. His shaft, standing stiffly, stuck out. Even though it was private property, he was extremely embarrassed to see his own penis out in the open in broad daylight.
What was even more embarrassing was Kang Inheon. Before he knew it, Kang Inheon was already kneeling on the wooden bench and had already taken his penis, covered in fluid, into his mouth.
“Ah…!”
He didn’t even have the time to feel his cock in his wet and hot mouth. It felt like he was being uprooted by the strong suction. He tingled as if he’d been punched in the gut as much as he’d been stimulated. His crotch trembled in the unannounced pleasure that was as painful as it was extreme.
“Ah, ngh!”
Kang Inheon’s uvula rose and fell slowly every time he spat out the cock from his mouth and then deeply swallowed it again. Sparks flew as a sharp sensation pierced his spine. His vision was dyed with bright yellow. His body responding so faithfully to the stimulus was driving him mad.
“Haa… a, ah!”
Sweat broke out all over his body from uncontrollable pain and pleasure that seemed to swallow him whole. It was humid and hot, like the sudden onset of an early tropical night.
“N, ngh!”
He tried to move away from the intense stimulation, but Kang Inheon’s body of stone-like muscles firmly blocked his way, and he couldn’t move an inch. In that state, his head was swallowed all the way to the end of Kang Inheon’s throat and he shuddered. The back of his knees were folded by both of Kang Inheon’s hands and they shook.
“Haa, haa…”
It was the sunny outdoors, but he felt oxygen-deprived like he was trapped in an enclosed space. As if he had really become an idiot, he felt dazed and his vision felt far-off.
“Gasp!”
At that moment, cold water was suddenly poured over his head. In an instant, his hair was soaked and dripping with water.
Lee Juwon’s body jumped up at the downfall of cold water that cooled the heated atmosphere in an instant. He looked up in surprise, thinking there was a rain shower, but the sky was still cloudlessly blue and clear.
Realizing once again what he had been doing under such a deep blue sky, he quickly pulled up his clothes. His stimulated bottom felt heavy, but his mind snapped back to reality.
“Nyaa?”
At some point, Nabi had come out to the garden and must’ve touched something by mistake, as the long blue hose on the floor came alive, squirming and wildly spraying water everywhere.
In a moment of carelessness, Kang Inheon was also completely soaked and let out a small sigh as he got up. Even as he looked down at Nabi and slowly went to turn off the hose, Nabi stared at Lee Juwon with its long, constricted, bright yellow eyes.
“…How did you get out?”
He had clearly locked the window in case Nabi would come out to the garden before leaving, but he didn’t know how the hell it got all the way here.
“What if you had gotten lost?”
As if asking who was the one to be rebuked, Nabi sat upright with its front paws together, its yellow tail thumping the dirt.
The weekend flew by in a flash. The feeling of not wanting to go to work on Monday was unfamiliar to Lee Juwon. Was this what they called Monday sickness?
“If I went to work on the weekend, I wouldn’t have Monday sickness…”
“That’s ridiculous.”
Kang Inheon, who was cracking eggs into the frying pan with one hand, laughed in reply and turned around. His eyes locked with Lee Juwon at the table, and he cracked another egg while mumbling, “Hm… the problem is that you’re serious.”
Unlike Lee Juwon, who glanced at his watch with an unknown feeling of uncomfortableness even though he still had plenty of time, Kang Inheon was relaxed. Putting the plate of toast down on the table, he shook his head.
“Juwon-ah, CEOs should, by all means, go to work late and go home early in order to be loved.”
Helping Lee Juwon become a beloved CEO, Kang Inheon pretended to fasten his belt by hugging him and pretended to tie his necktie by kissing, so just getting ready took quite a while. Even at the front door, Kang Inheon got down on one knee to put on the shoes he had just bought.
Lee Juwon didn’t know if he was putting his shoes on or touching his ankles, but the tickling sensation made him sit on the elevated floor area of the front door. There was no telling how long they would have sat at the front door and kissed if Nabi hadn’t started crying like it wanted them to hurry and get out.
Even though he should’ve been used to going to work together with Kang Inheon, Lee Juwon stole glances at him driving while he sat in the passenger seat. It wasn’t because he wanted to, but because it was a face he had no choice but to look at.
His face had always looked handsome, but his side appearance looked especially like a sculpture. From the chiselled high bridge of his nose dropping down to his philtrum, full lips, and slightly angled jawline. His gaze even fell on his long fingers as he stroked his lower jaw while waiting for the light to change. Suddenly, the corners of Kang Inheon’s lips pulled up into a smile.
Lee Juwon looked ahead, wondering if something amusing had happened, but the road to work was just as boring and frustrating as always. When Lee Juwon asked him why he was smiling, Kang Inheon replied nonchalantly, “I just like it.”
“……”
Lee Juwon swallowed the sigh that almost subconsciously escaped him. Let alone respond to his words saying he liked it, he couldn’t let out a sigh. However, he didn’t even know who he was or what kind of person he was, and every moment felt unfamiliar. Kang Inheon’s way of speaking, which seemed to have become a daily routine after speaking that way hundreds of times, made him, who considered it special, feel strange.
It wasn’t that this moment was bad. He was looking at him, heart pounding, and he wanted to be together, but… He couldn’t figure out why he felt anxious and nervous on the other hand. He felt suffocated as if the lower area of his throat was blocked.
A motorbike sped through the crossing even though the light was still red. Kang Inheon shook his head and muttered, “They’ll only get themselves together when they’re dead.”
Kang Inheon dropped Lee Juwon off in front of the company and headed to the training centre. See you in the evening, he said in a casual tone, and Lee Juwon nodded his head.
At the main gate, a security guard took off his hat and greeted him in a loud voice. Even in front of the elevator in the lobby, each employee who ran into him greeted him cheerfully.
“Hello, Mr. CEO!”
“Good morning.”
The secretaries at the front of the representative’s office and the team leaders who came in to get approvals were all smiling faces.
The process of assigning tasks, reviewing reports, and making approvals was familiar. After they all left, Lee Juwon stared blankly at his reflection on the black monitor. Stroking his face down, he typed December into the search bar. Thousands of articles and information poured in.
December, Designated as the Best Company for Fair Trade Agreement for Two Consecutive Years
December’s Kang Inheon Donates One Billion to Areas Affected by Localized Torrential Downpours
Spotlight Interview>> What Is the Public Interest and Influence Pursued by CEO Lee Juwon of December?
Based on cyber articles, interviews, and biographical information on the Internet, Lee Juwon filled in the blanks of his memory. His parents were alive, he and Kang Inheon attended the same middle and high school, went from friends to lovers, and started a hunter service company together…
“Haa…”
When Lee Juwon took his hand off the mouse and leaned back in his chair, there was the sound of a vibration. Bzzzzz, bzzzzz, the phone he had left on his desk rang.
🌺Beloved Mrs. Choi Heekyung🌺
After staring at the screen for a while, Lee Juwon swallowed hard and picked up his phone. He felt the vibrations the desk had swallowed buzz in his hand. Calming himself, he pressed the call button and brought the phone to his ear.
“…Yes.”
– Juwon-ah, are you busy?
A kind voice came over the speaker. It was his mother’s voice which he had heard on the weekend.
“…No.”
– I was just passing by your company and thought I’d stop by… Inheon isn’t answering his phone, is he with you?
“In… Hunter Kang is…”
Has saying a name always been this awkward? Lee Juwon rubbed his face and continued, “He won’t be able to pick up today.”
– Gosh, CEO Lee. Are you in front of your employees?
He heard the sound of her giggling like an innocent girl. He, on the other hand, couldn’t figure out why only such a stiff voice came out of his throat.
“…Where are you right now?”
His heart tightened as he rode the elevator down to the café on the first-floor lobby. His nervous fingertips trembled. Each person he passed on the way down greeted him cheerfully, but Lee Juwon didn’t have the time to return the greeting.
The cafeteria on the east side of the lobby was always filled with customers. Lee Juwon stood near the door and scanned the interior of the café. It looked familiar since most of the people who used the café were company employees. But in reality, he couldn’t find his mother.
“Mr. CEO?”
Lee Juwon was standing at the entrance of the café, looking lost, when he heard someone calling out to him and woke up. He turned around and saw Team Leader Han Sujin with her long, wavy hair. She gulped down her Americano and continued, “Are you looking for someone?”
“Ah… yes.”
Team Leader Han extended her thumb and index and held it to her ear like a phone. Yeah, he could’ve called her, but he had forgotten that easy method.
Lee Juwon turned on the phone in his hand. He took a small breath, tapped the top of his latest call list, and called.
A small ringing sound was heard over the canon melody playing in the café. Soon, he could see the back of a middle-aged woman bringing her phone to her ear.
“…I found them.”
“…Yes.”
Team Leader Han watched Lee Juwon for a moment as he made his way toward the middle-aged woman, then scratched the base of her ear with her index finger and left the café.
As Lee Juwon approached, the woman in the chair turned around. She soon raised her hand in a low position and called out, “Juwon-ah.”
Lee Juwon walked around the round table and sat down in front of her.
“I didn’t call you when you were busy, did I?”
He shook his head. He wasn’t busy at all. No, it didn’t matter how busy he was.
Still, Lee Juwon couldn’t look up from the table. He just looked down at the yellow citrus tea in the white porcelain cup, the brown tissues emblazoned with the franchise logo, and the black iron tray.
“…Are you sick? Why are you sweating…”
A white handkerchief touched his temple.
“No…”
Only then did Lee Juwon have no choice but to raise his head. Resisting the urge to look down again, Lee Juwon continued, “It’s a little hot.”
He squeezed the handkerchief his mother had handed him. His lips were parched. He could hear her kind voice, but he couldn’t see the face of his mother speaking kindly. To be more precise, he couldn’t recognize it.
“Yes, it’s already summer weather…”
Her wavy hair, blue blouse, and the white bag placed on her lap were all clear. However, he couldn’t make out her eyes, nose, or mouth. Only her face looked blurry. As if there was some kind of facial blindness.
“…That wedding venue booking you guys were talking about last time…”
He could see all of his employees’ faces properly, so there was no way he suddenly developed a disease. Just like Kang Inheon said, I must’ve become strange again. Lee Juwon swallowed a sigh.
Perhaps he really had become strange, as he couldn’t think properly and his head felt frozen. He swallowed a jumble of emotions, anxiety, nervousness, confusion, and embarrassment, and they lodged his throat.
The most obvious of these mixed emotions was not worry or fear, but disappointment. He didn’t know why he was so disappointed not to see his elderly mother’s face.
“…Juwon-ah?”
He heard a worried voice. Lee Juwon raised his head again. He couldn’t make out her face, but she was probably wearing the same expression as her voice.
“Should we end it here? You must be busy, I’m sorry.”
“No… I’m going to order something too.”
Leaving his mother who was trying to stop him behind, Lee Juwon headed to the counter. It didn’t take long to order, stick out his card, and pick up his drink. As soon as he received the cold caffeine, he stood there and gulped it down. Only then did he seem to feel like he was a bit awakened.
His mother, turned halfway on her chair, looked at Lee Juwon standing at the pick-up area and soon carried her bag on her arm and stood up while holding the tray. His mother approached him and lightly swept his arm.
“Let’s go, I’ll organize the hall with the planner. You’re busy, but…”
Lee Juwon took the tray his mother was holding and said, “Did you have lunch?”
He didn’t want to think about it further. It felt like the more he pondered and questioned it, even other things apart from the face would become faint.
No one wanted to read a novel about Noah going psychotic while wondering why time was rewound, where the misfortunate Lily was, and whether or not he was allowed to focus on the present time.
Right now, he needed to hold onto something, even if what he had was faint. If he didn’t, even that would slip through his fingers like grains of sand.
“There’s a good Baekban place nearby, let’s get something to eat.”
“It’s okay, if you have work to…”
“Even if you’re busy, you have to eat and then work, that goes for everyone.”
In any case, everything he had ever wanted was here right now. If he could just ignore the disharmony and strange phenomena, everything was perfect.
Running his tongue over his lower lip, Lee Juwon pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten alone with Mom.”
“…Yeah, Dad must be jealous. He’s gotten so much more narrow-minded with age.”
Even if he couldn’t see her face, it was okay. Truthfully, he just really liked how she was sitting in front of him and how he could hear her voice. He was happy with this too.

when i translate, i usually do it on pc… the problem is that my computer screen can be fully seen once u open the door to my room, so i live in constant fear of my parents barging in and seeing me translate smut of all things 
anyhow, stay strong everyone, we are halfway through this chapter!!
Damn that chapter hurts 🤕
My parents don’t understand English so I can read smut without a care in the world ~
Lmao me same 😭
Good Job Nabi, if there is smex it shoud be with the real Inheon. Though to be honest im starting to think Nabi might be the real Inheon and thats why he gets in fake Inheons way.
He can’t see her face! 😱 I guess those butterflies can’t copy his elderly mother since she never got to be this old. But damn that’s some hot illusion. Nabi sure is working hard, so that he will not get lost in the pleasure.🐈
While my parents don’t speak English I still don’t like someone entering the room and seeing what’s on my screen..So I’m sitting facing the door. For the reason why am I sitting like this I’ve mentioned, it would be better like this because of the light from the windows. Tho not sure if it would be of help to you 🤔
Thank you for the translation 😊
I kind of just wonder why lee juwon’s surname is lee but his father is choi?
Thanks for the chapter ♡♡♡♡♡
in korea, women dont take their husbands last name, thats why juwon’s mom stays as mrs choi rather than mrs lee!
Ahhh i think i misread something i thought choi heekyung was the father’s name not the mother’s 😅 thanks for clearing that up
‘In any case, everything he had ever wanted was here right now. If he could just ignore the disharmony and strange phenomena, everything was perfect.’ 😭
