“Nothing, just… he seems a bit…”

It’s like he became more sophisticated and well-mannered.

In a word, the kid seems a bit strange.

I didn’t expect that the Sung Ji-chan from before would feel mature.

The 16-year-old Sung Ji-chan, who had returned to the past, didn’t hide as he used to. Instead, he actively interacted with other kids.

Even though he used to play the role of a gang leader, avoiding attention as much as possible at school, now he swaggered around as if to say, “Look at me.”

‘Somehow, he seems even more annoying.’

Looking at the kids gathered around Sung Ji-chan, Banhamin somehow came to mind.

Sunwoo-jin, lost in thought for a moment, opened his mouth.

“…That’s the real personality of Sung Ji-chan.”

“Huh?”

“He was like that originally.”

Then what is he now?

He seemed different, though.

Well, he might have become more mature after becoming a high school student. Well, that could happen.
As I reluctantly accepted it and moved on, suddenly I thought of Jinhae-yul’s accident.

‘Ah.’

Could it be that his personality changed after that incident?

It’s not uncommon for people to change after going through a major ordeal.

Since the accident hadn’t happened yet in Sung Ji-chan’s memory, he might have returned to his original personality.

‘If that’s true, it’s a bit sad.’

People often say that one matures through pain. If the incident left a deep scar on Samdaeboi’s heart…

At that moment, Sung Ji-chan, who had spotted me, waved his hand.

“Hey, wife!”

Whether it’s a wound or nonsense, I just wish he would go back to his original self.

I gave Sung Ji-chan a look of disdain.

Even though I clarified last time that I’m not his girlfriend, Sung Ji-chan didn’t seem to hear.

To be precise, he continues to call me that, even though he knows I’m not his girlfriend. Shouldn’t he be treating me like a stranger if he lost his memory? The pre-amnesia Sung Ji-chan was truly an annoying guy.

Suddenly, Sung Ji-chan pushed through the crowd and approached us.

“What’s up, still hanging out with Sunwoo-jin today? Are you really cheating?”

Sunwoo-jin said with a serious expression, “Can’t I just hit this guy once?”

“Endure it.”

Since he might really make a face for a backstab, I forcibly stopped Sunwoo-jin’s fist.

Sung Ji-chan looked at us with a strange look.

“You two really get along, huh?”

“What?”

When I asked, Sung Ji-chan laughed mischievously.

“No, it just seems like the first time I’ve seen Sunwoo-jin with a girl like this.”

I didn’t want to respond since it was so obvious that he was teasing. Sunwoo-jin looked at Sung Ji-chan with a contemptuous look.

“Is he an elementary school kid?”

Sung Ji-chan shrugged his shoulders.

“Yeah, well. You two take care.”

Then, he raised one hand in greeting.

“Let’s go, wife. See you later.”

That jerk of a wife.

I glared at Sung Ji-chan’s retreating back and shook my middle finger.

After Sung Ji-chan completely disappeared, I opened my mouth.

“Do something about your friend. I’m afraid he might really get into trouble with that attitude.”

“I’ve never had someone like him as a friend.”

Today too, Sunwoo-jin denied our camaraderie.

Really, there’s no solution. I shook my head sadly.

Returning home, I lay down on the bed. Then, I called the system.

[You called?]

Yeah.

“Sung Ji-chan is really annoying. Is there any way to help him regain his memory?”

[There is one way, but…]

Seeing that the end of the sentence was blurred, I didn’t need to see it to know.

“Are you trying to give me another absurd quest? I won’t do it.”

[Ms. Jueun’s instincts have become much sharper!]

That’s right. It really was a quest.

‘It’s not my memory, and there’s no need to go through that strange quest to help Sung Ji-chan recover his memory.’

Let’s just live annoyingly for a while. Eventually, he’ll come back.

[Don’t worry too much! Trust in the natural healing power of humans.] Well, the doctor said he would be back soon, so it should be fine.

Besides, even if he never returns, it’s not a big deal, right? I might need to adjust my happy ending plans a bit, though.

I rolled around on the bed, lost in thought.

‘By the way, the sports festival is coming up. I wonder if it’ll be okay.’

Considering the kids are already out of control, I’m even more worried with Sung Ji-chan losing his memory.

‘Usually, major incidents happen during special events like this.’

And now the male lead has lost his memory. It was a foregone conclusion that something would happen. I anticipated… no, I worried about how Sung Ji-chan’s memory loss would act as a variable.

‘Well, it’ll somehow work out.’

If I’m lucky, the memory loss issue might be resolved before that.

Let it be. I decided to take it easy.

But as always, my luck wasn’t great.

In the end, as the sports festival unfolded, Sung Ji-chan’s memory remained lost.
