Tae-seo rummaged through his phone, not knowing much apart from the fact that he was Yoon Tae-seo and the contents of the novel. So, he often found himself fiddling with his phone these days. Fortunately, despite being private, his active presence on social media, sharing his interests, proved to be quite helpful.

"Why's he suddenly so attached to his phone? Could it be because he's suddenly in a relationship?"

Park Han-soo, who had been watching from the side, raised an eyebrow suspiciously. Thanks to Park Han-soo, Tae-seo had found his way around the campus and got to know his schedule comfortably. Tae-seo naturally ended up hanging out with him. Tae-seo's eased-up demeanor, thanks to shedding some of his sensitivity, didn't make Park Han-soo uncomfortable either.

"You dating In-hyuk?"

"...."

As Tae-seo casually deflected, Park Han-soo's suspicion deepened.

"Just tell me honestly. Are things going well with In-hyuk?"

"... "

Tae-seo, who was browsing through his childhood photos on his phone, flinched. Then, when he looked at Park Han-soo, he noticed Park pointing to the phone. Tae-seo glanced back at the photo he had been looking at—it was a selfie he had taken as a kid, with a strategically placed figure in the corner.

"You like the guy there."

"How did you know?"

"What? You like In-hyuk? You've been practically begging me to introduce you to Seo Da-rae, why pretend otherwise? Some people are pretty sharp about these things."

"I... I see. So that's how it is."

"Yeah, that's how it is."

Park Han-soo absentmindedly ruffled Tae-seo's hair, finding his subdued demeanor oddly endearing lately. Tae-seo didn't even think of brushing his hand away, instead, he looked back at the photo.

The photos he had previously thought of as mere selfies now caught his attention properly. They were all seemingly taken to include In-hyuk's face in some way. Looking at his youthful face, Tae-seo felt a budding affection for In-hyuk.

"Living so cutely, huh, Yoon Tae-seo."

Exhaling heavily as he saw his face reflected in the camera, Tae-seo sighed. Villains in love stories come in all shapes and sizes.

As he continued to scroll through his phone, Tae-seo suddenly nudged Park Han-soo's side.

Han-soo, how old am I?"

"It's not like you're about to die from some illness. How could you forget your age?"

"You're only twenty-five. You haven't reached an age where you forget your own age."

"Oh, right."

He wasn't sure about his age, but thankfully, he guessed it right. He had been thinking about the conversation he had with Park Han-soo a few days ago at the hotel. He had quickly answered when asked about his name and traits, but he had stumbled a bit on his age.

"I guess I have a rough idea."

Apart from that, he had occasional flashes of bodily memories, so becoming Yoon Tae-seo right now wasn't too difficult. He could easily recall the faces of his parents, whom he had never seen before due to being busy. And when he realized that he could manage the classes he thought would be the most difficult, Tae-seo breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed onto his desk.

"Now all I have to do is sort out my traits."

Everything seemed to be falling into place smoothly, but there was one thing, just one thing that made his head ache just from thinking about it—his changed trait.
