He spit out whatever came to mind, but it was a more complete excuse than he thought.
Proud of the cunning he displayed, In-ho watched as Su-yeon expressed her dissatisfaction with a pout.
“There are separate things to be confused about; what if you get confused about that?”
“Sorry. From now on, I’ll never get confused.”
“Of course! Anyway, come here.”
“Where?”
“Come to me!”
“Ah, why are you doing this instead of eating? We’re adults, and we need to choose the right time and place, right?”
“This is our house, and there’s nothing to hide. Come here quickly!”
Su-yeon and In-ho stood facing each other, with the dining table chair in between.
Su-yeon reached out her arm to catch In-ho somehow, and In-ho skillfully avoided Su-yeon’s reaching arms.
However, no matter how much In-ho tried, Su-yeon’s body couldn’t be the same as usual.
After running away to the bedroom, In-ho, caught by Su-yeon, turned back and looked at her.
Now it was even more shameless to go out like this.
“Okay, fine. Let’s do it.”
“Just stay still.”
“Got it. Since you’ll stay still, why don’t we try something?”
In-ho smiled meaningfully and looked at Su-yeon.
Su-yeon, standing in a firm posture, gradually closed the distance.
Soon, their lips touched, and their warmth permeated each other.
The kiss, which started lightly, quickly became intense and deep.
However, there was no change for the two of them.
Perplexed, Su-yeon separated her lips from In-ho and looked at him.
“Why, why isn’t it changing?”
“Well, I don’t know either.”
Unlike the bewildered Su-yeon, In-ho remained indifferent.
As if he knew the way to turn his body back to normal.
The impatient Su-yeon asked In-ho.
“When our bodies changed last time, didn’t they return to normal after kissing? Am I remembering it wrong?”
“In my memory, it was like that. But it seems that wasn’t the case.”
Su-yeon sat on the bed, looking bewildered.
Her body was supposed to return to normal.
It was urgent because of Hye-kyung, who might cause trouble.
But it didn’t return.
Su-yeon grabbed her head in confusion.
Watching Su-yeon silently, In-ho thought to himself.
‘If kissing didn’t bring our bodies back…’
In fact, In-ho wasn’t sure.
Considering Su-yeon’s words, last time they returned to normal after kissing, he thought that physical contact might be the way to revert the change.
But now, it was clear that it wasn’t the case.
If physical contact was the method, their bodies should have returned to normal no matter how they touched.
However, comparing the two situations where their bodies changed and returned, the clean separation of certain aspects made it seem unlikely that physical contact was the key.
The first time, he held Su-yeon’s hand while she was asleep, and the second time, he kissed her.
Although he had also touched Su-yeon’s head and face, nothing happened then.
In the end, he even began to doubt whether physical contact was the method to revert the change.
Today, that suspicion turned into certainty.
Another common point discovered by In-ho was his own actions.
The first time Su-yeon and he exchanged bodies, he held Su-yeon’s hand while she was sleeping, and there were words whispered when he did.
“…I’m sorry.”
A night when belatedly realized indifference caused painful regrets.
On that day, In-ho sincerely apologized to Su-yeon, and he pondered over those emotions for a long time.
When their bodies switched for the second time, he didn’t say something like feeling sorry as he did at first, but what was certain was that his feelings toward Su-yeon were shaken.
He experienced Hye-kyung’s life in Su-yeon’s body and, as a result, could imagine how difficult her life had been.
So, his indifference became a regret once again.
He couldn’t bear the overwhelming guilt.
However, Su-yeon, who worried and looked pretty while doing so, didn’t hate herself but instead kissed him without permission.
And then, they returned to their original bodies.
After contemplating those two situations over and over again, In-ho reached one conclusion.
The emotional turmoil and realization caused by Su-yeon.
‘Returning to my original body depends on my will.’
He couldn’t be completely sure, but seeing that even physical contact didn’t bring them back, it seemed like his thoughts might be correct.
He wanted to confirm it right away, but if he did and their bodies returned, it would be a disaster.
For the time being, it was better to continue living as Su-yeon.
At least until he could restrain Hye-kyung, who might appear at any time.
In-ho pressed his lips together, gathering strength, once again determined his mind.
Meanwhile, Su-yeon, who had been wandering through confusion, looked at In-ho with a perplexed face.
“Why isn’t it coming back?”
“What?”
“I mean my body. Ugh, I believed so firmly that kissing was the way to revert it.”
“It can’t be helped. Let’s slowly look for a solution.”
“Slowly? No, we can’t. Find it right now, us.”
“Right now?”
In-ho’s eyes widened at Su-yeon’s unexpected determination.
As if she had been waiting, Su-yeon stood up from her seat and approached In-ho with determined steps.
Then, she grabbed his hand tightly.
“For now, let’s try holding hands.”
“…What?”
In-ho was bewildered by Su-yeon’s words.
Try holding hands? Was she suggesting trying another form of physical contact since kissing didn’t bring them back?
In-ho managed to suppress the laughter that was about to burst out.
Apparently, Su-yeon was convinced that physical contact was the key to changing bodies.
As cute as she was, In-ho considered telling her the truth for a moment but held back.
Well, this situation wasn’t that bad.
Although he was always the one coercing or initiating physical contact, now that Su-yeon approached him first, his usually complicated thoughts strangely became more straightforward.
‘How about following instincts for once?’
In-ho smiled mischievously, looking at Su-yeon.

One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.

Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
