Thinking back, those were indeed cunning and dirty words. Danmokchang was feeling irritated again when he looked at his father.

Danmoksoo was nagging at his son without understanding his feelings.

“What? How did she recognize you at once when you look the same? Didn’t you say it yourself?”

Danmokchang did not answer. How did she know that he was Danmokchang? He had only said he wanted to see her.

‘Did she break up badly with Danmokbi?’

Was it because he embraced her in his heart? Various thoughts came flooding in. To think that his thoughts would be in such disarray, Danmokchang was surprised by the passion within him.

Danmoksoo was scolding his eldest son while clicking his tongue.

“Tsk, tsk, how foolishly you acted.”

“…….”

Danmokchang kept his mouth tightly shut as he did not want to say any more. Then Danmoksoo whispered to his son with a filthy grin.

“Don’t be like that, be more blatant….”

It was just then.

“Why are you not asleep in the ambitious night?”

Danmoksoo was startled and turned around at the dignified yet weighty voice. The person standing behind him was none other than the head of the Jegal family.

“Ah, Jegal Family Head.”

Had he heard what he said to Danmokchang? His heart was pounding so loudly that he felt anxious. Danmoksoo exaggeratedly embraced Danmokchang’s shoulder as he answered.

“Ha ha ha, I was listening to my son’s troubles.”

“Troubles?”

Right. At Jegal Family Head’s retort, a wicked scheme crossed Danmoksoo’s mind. He rubbed his hands together and gave a crafty smile.

“It’s nothing else but, my eldest son has fallen in love with your daughter at first sight.”

“Is it about my daughter?”

Jegal Family Head was shocked and opened his eyes wide, and Danmokchang bowed his head. He did not know what expression to make.

In this situation, the only person happy was Danmoksoo. He took this opportunity to solidify what he wanted.

“Thus, I will ask you straightforwardly. May I propose marriage to Jegal Yeona?”

(This is the time separator.)

I had completely forgotten that I made Yuga candy for Jiho’s wedding ceremony today. It was fortunate that I realized it thanks to Danmokchang.
I gave Danmokchang some snacks, gathered the rest, and brought them back. It had to be offered when paying my respects to Grandfather tomorrow morning.

‘It’s like Grandfather is some deity receiving offerings, but still.’

Even so, I didn’t feel wronged at all. Rather, I felt an enormous debt to Grandfather that I could never repay.

I recalled how I had come to the Jegalse region and the eventful past. Naturally, it was because I had met Danmokchang.

‘Danmokchang really hasn’t changed at all.’

Even down to his unfortunate time. Watching him, my chest ached as if it had twisted the protagonist’s future again.

‘Originally, at this point, Danmokchang would have sealed Baekho in his body, making him very strong, and he would have been in a phase of denial after meeting the female protagonist.’

Speaking of which, wasn’t that female protagonist also in this world right now?

‘Ugh, my head hurts.’

What was going on with the story? During the sudden appearance of the original characters, I was feeling confused.

I really wanted to hug Baekho and go to sleep, but my day was not over yet. Grandfather was sitting in front of my place with a dissatisfied look.

As soon as our eyes met, Grandfather started complaining about Danmokchang.

“Why is that wretched fellow lurking around my granddaughter on this ambitious night?”

“Ah, Grandfather, you haven’t gone to bed yet?”

I thought he had left the drinking party early, so he must have been tired today.

Grandfather, crossing his arms and grumbling, became angry.

“How can I sleep soundly when that Danmok whatever is hovering around my granddaughter?”

“Did you actually watch? Then you should have at least made a noise.”

“I was holding back to crush you if you were rude.”

“Really, Grandfather.”

It wasn’t like something was looming to worry Grandfather. Danmokchang seemed happy to see me here since we knew each other from childhood.

‘Ah, but he called me Jegalyeon. Does he know I’ve reincarnated?’

Shouldn’t he be asking why I’m here if he saw me as Lee Yeon?

I was suspicious, but I couldn’t think about that now since I was facing Grandfather. To assure him it was no big deal, I first revealed the visitor’s identity.

“That person earlier was not Lord Danmokbi, but his elder brother, Lord Danmokchang. When I was in the Danmok family, Lord Danmokchang had left the world to practice, so I barely saw his face.”

“Tsk.”

“Why are you doing that?”

I explained in detail that we were not in any relationship, so why was he clicking his tongue? When I looked at him with a questioning expression, Grandfather, crossing his arms, grumbled.

“Why are you still calling him ‘Lord’ when you are no longer a servant of that house?”
