“Then let’s start thinking about it together. How did we return last time? The only difference that day was that In Ho and I shared a hospital room and slept together…”
Su Yeon, who had faded at the end of her sentence, soon frowned.

She had simply revisited the events of that day, and realized that there was nothing suspicious about them.

In Ho had stayed awake for a long time after Su Yeon had fallen asleep the previous night.

He wasn’t as panicked as the first time his body changed, but it wasn’t a problem to take lightly.

The fact that his body changed.

How could such a thing happen?

The fact that this happened during filming season was extremely troubling.

He needed to find a solution quickly, not only for his own filming, but also for Su Yeon, who was stressed every time their bodies switched.

However, no matter how many times he thought about it, he couldn’t see a clue.

There was one thing that stuck out.

“…I’m sorry.”

He had apologized to Su Yeon, who had been asleep in the hospital bed, while holding her hand.

It had been a long time since he held his wife’s hand, and it was the first time after their bodies had switched.

That was the only thing that was different compared to other days.

So could the solution to this unbelievable problem be… physical contact?

That was the conclusion and answer In Ho arrived at around dawn.
“Um, you know.”
In Ho carefully started talking with a quite serious face.

Su Yeon, who had been sulking with her head down, looked up at him with a somewhat puzzled face.

The timing for speaking had been well set up, and all he had to do was share his thoughts from the overnight reflection…

After a while of silence, only moving his lips, In Ho finally looked at Su Yeon with a determined face.
“Do you want to try kissing?”
“What??”
Su Yeon’s pupils dilated at the sudden bombshell.

In Ho hurriedly avoided her gaze.

From his point of view, it was a reasonable suspicion and a proposal he could make based on that.

But seeing Su Yeon’s reaction, he felt his heart pounding with embarrassment.
“You know how in fairy tales! They wake up from a kiss, or a frog turns back into a prince.”
It was a ridiculous excuse.

He knew he was setting himself up for ridicule.

But he didn’t have the courage to tell the truth.

The situation was like that at the time.

She had stubbornly turned her back to him, as if she couldn’t stand the sight of him.

He had wanted to hold her hand in secret because she felt so far away.

But what would Su Yeon’s reaction be if she heard this?

He was somehow scared of being seen as strange.

Just when their relationship seemed to be getting a little closer, he didn’t want to ruin it with careless words.
“That’s just a fairy tale…”
“Yeah, it’s a fairy tale. But, well, just in case.”
In Ho quickly replied to Su Yeon, who had finally spoken after a while.

If he had known it would be this embarrassing, he wouldn’t have brought it up.

But no matter how many times he thought about it, the physical contact seemed like a reasonable suspicion and was worth trying.
‘It seems like it would be okay to pretend to mistakenly hold hands…’

But when he recalled what happened in the morning, he doubted that holding hands would have any effect.

He had even taken Su Yeon to the kitchen, held her wrist, and tenderly stroked her reddened cheeks, but nothing had happened. ‘So, if the answer is skinship, it means we need deeper skinship…’

In Ho glanced at Su Yeon with a troubled gaze.

Su Yeon’s pupils were shaking rapidly, and her chest rose and fell heavily.

She seemed extremely tense right now, as if she would be startled if he stole a kiss.

In Ho swallowed a sigh that rose to the edge of his throat.

Somehow, it seemed paramount to persuade Su Yeon and make her understand the situation.

With these thoughts, he was about to shift the topic back to acting practice.

Suddenly, the sound of a bell filled the house.
“Ah, it’s my phone. I’ll take this call and come back. Just a moment.”
Su Yeon got up hurriedly from her seat, as if she had met a savior.

Looking at her quickly retreating figure, he inexplicably felt annoyed.
‘A married couple should be able to kiss.’
He felt as if he had done something shameless.
“Ha, forget it, Seo In Ho. What’s there to think about so much?”
In Ho ruffled his hair in irritation and murmured to himself.

Just then, Su Yeon, who had disappeared into the bedroom, approached with a thoughtful expression.
“Ha, Su Yeon. Please don’t walk like that with my body…”
“What, what should I do!”
Before she could finish her sentence full of sighs, Su Yeon shouted in urgency.

Startled by her, In Ho quickly got up from his seat and asked,
“What, what’s wrong.”
In Ho strode towards Su Yeon.

Then, Su Yeon handed him the still loudly ringing phone.
“It’s my mother. It’s a call from my mom.”
“Your mother? Ha, don’t tell me you were supposed to go to the house in Seongbukdong today?”
In Ho’s eyebrows furrowed roughly.

Su Yeon hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head.
“It’s been a while. I’ve been going to Seongbukdong every morning to see my mom…”
“What? Every day? Since when?”
In Ho asked in astonishment.

Su Yeon didn’t have the courage to answer him honestly.

After a moment of contemplation, she spoke urgently again.
“Let’s talk after you take the call. It’s about to disconnect.”
“If it disconnects, just call back!”
“You know my relationship with my mother isn’t good. It’s a cause for resentment that she had to call first, and if I don’t answer the call, she’ll be upset. If I answer, she’ll think it’s you, so please take the call. Okay?”
Su Yeon begged as if she was pleading.
“Ha, I’m really going crazy.”
In Ho ruffled his hair roughly.

Finally, he quickly took the phone that was handed to him and answered the call.
“Yes, mom. I should have called you first, I’m sorry. This person has a shooting schedule in the afternoon today…”
In Ho, who had been imitating Su Yeon quite plausibly, suddenly stopped talking and opened his eyes wide.

Then, looking surprised, he met Su Yeon’s eyes.
“Yes?”
Su Yeon couldn’t take her eyes off In Ho, her face full of tension.

In Ho’s following voice was somehow ominous.
