KIM Rok Soo stared in surprise at his own reflection reflected through the water from the bathtub. Just when he was about to enter, he was shocked by his appearance, which no longer looked like a 36 year old man.

"This... is me when I was around twenty-seven years old?"

Rok Soo touched his neck and face which usually showed several scars, where from the left jaw to the cheek there were wounds like cuts he got when fighting a monster when he was 29 years old.

"It's gone now," he muttered as he stroked his jaw which was now smooth without a single scar.

"So? Is this due to the effects of the fantasy world? Or is it because I moved that I experienced a decline in age?" Rok Soo held his chin, thinking for a moment before finally ignoring it.

"Whatever, I definitely don't look too old for Cale now." A small smile crossed his lips when he thought of his cute little baby.

Ah, again he called Cale a baby. What's wrong with him? Why does he like calling him baby so much? Was it because he had seen her adorable cute side instead of her annoying trash attitude? Hah! Maybe that's true. Because, every time he said the word 'baby' to call Cale, he felt a special pleasure that made him feel addicted.

A feeling of wanting to see more than just the cute side of Cale that was never revealed in the novel, Rok Soo suddenly had the desire to get whatever he could from everything related to Cale. I don't know, it felt like he wanted everything that was in Cale without letting other people know his other hidden side. It was as if only he was allowed to enjoy everything that Cale had for himself.

"Hah! I think I've gone crazy." Rok Soo put one hand on her forehead with the other hand holding onto the edge of the bathtub as a strange, terrible feeling hit her heart.

Gazing back at his reflection reflected in the water, Rok Soo couldn't help but flinch when he saw the unfamiliar expression that appeared. Even though what was depicted was his own face, his expression that reflected a desire that implied madness was reflected through his trembling irises.

Crazy! Is this what I was like before?" asked Rok Soo who was stunned to himself.

"That face... for some reason I don't want to show it to Cale." Rubbing his face roughly with both hands, Rok Soo, who was filled with anxiety, tried to calm himself down.

He did light breathing by exhaling and exhaling repeatedly before finally closing his eyes and adjusting his expression to its usual state, namely cold and indifferent.

Feeling that everything was under control, Rok Soo, who had been sitting in the bathroom for too long, decided to immediately get into the tub after first taking off all the trousers he was wearing.

Meanwhile outside, Cale, who was ready, could only sit quietly on the sofa feeling extremely nervous. Various strange thoughts invaded his head randomly thinking nonsense. Bad possibilities that he didn't want to think about haunted him so that anxiety and depression became increasingly entrenched in his heart.
