Seong Chan-young, who hesitated to answer my question, finally answered, "I didn't want to die."
"What?"
"You heard about how memories were manipulated to prevent a failed wish, right?"
"Yeah, I heard."
My memories had been swapped out from the dramatic moment of being discharged from the hospital to the moment of taking my last breath. The memories of pain and suffering, which I wanted to rid myself of, disappeared, replaced by the peaceful and happy routine after recovery.
Seong Chan-young wiped his face with a bitter expression.
"My memories were from right after the regression until I committed suicide. When the memories of the excruciating pain that made me give up on life were erased, I was the only one left with the stubborn obsession."
"..."
"...I'm sorry."
The sight of Seong Chan-young, unable to meet my eyes and confessing the truth, was pitiful and miserable.
Though the intention was to erase the pain and provide comfort during the process of fulfilling wishes, it seemed to have become a catalyst that dragged Seong Chan-young back to the time when he was consumed by ugly jealousy.
"That's when I didn't want to die and desperately wanted to return to my body somehow."
"So you possessed Moon Gyeong-sik's body?"
"Right. But... it seemed like another wish was repaired during that process."
"Another wish?"
It was a surprising story.
"Someone made a wish besides us. So I was able to run back into my world and search for you before I was sentenced to complete death with your body."
Could the strange and eerie Black Hands that could manipulate things be a result of another wish?
"....What was that wish?"
"It was, 'I want to live a life without being manipulated. To start everything from the beginning.'"
"To start everything from the beginning..."
So that's how Seong Chan-young was able to come back. Resetting to the beginning of every story unfolding in the original work meant no character should be omitted. Naturally, even the antagonist Seong Chan-young, were included.
Bringing back Seong Chan-young's body was not enough. So it seemed that they brought back the real Seong Chan-young's soul.
"But who made that wish... I think I know who it was, but..."
I decided to put that story aside for now. Our conversation with Seong Chan-young was urgent.
"So, why did you possess Moon Gyeong-sik's body?"
"...I think it was because of my longing for alpha traits. And even though I lost my memories, it seems to have been because of the lingering pain of unrequited love that I couldn't accept even when I was an omega."
"Hmm."
'Maybe because he would have a stronger rejection if he possessed an alpha... Was it because of that?'
I could understand. At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder if the type of affection Seong Chan-young desperately sought after possessing an alpha was actually something different.
