Translator's Note: Brief changes to chapter 2.1 regarding 'leaving the group'

Happy reading!

Yeon Seo, who was comfortably lying in bed, frowned. His head was dizzy from the faint ringing sound in his ears. This was a side effect of the automatic action mode.

'How long has it been since I've felt this kind of pain?'

It was an unimaginable sensation when he was Kang Jin Hoo. He was set up in such a way that he couldn't feel pain even before he was even born.

"Yeon Seo, you..."

Someone rustled from under Yoo Yeon Seo's bed, who was lost in thought.

Yeon Seo was startled. How could he not have noticed someone hiding under his bed? He felt the difference in the reality of being in a different body, he thought to himself as he sat up.

"Who are you?"

“And what are you doing here? Why did you come out from under the bed?”

The man who suddenly appeared from beneath the bed started yelling and pointing with his finger. Judging from his face, he seemed younger than Yoo Eun Ho.

'So, was he the same age as this body?'

“I told you I was going to hide here so that I wouldn't be caught seeing you by the old man! Why are you suddenly pretending not to know?”

The man yelled out in frustration.

It's strange, I haven't been in Yeon Seo's body for long...Yoo Yeon Seo frowned in thought.

<Interference from host body during transfer. Retrying.>

As I moved into this body, the words of Alpha-13, the Time Travel Manager, came to mind. Could that interference be...

Did the original owner of this body briefly wake up? If that's the case, did his family and this man receive a notification and come here?

<Yes, that's correct. During the soul transfer, the host body's soul was momentarily confused.>

<In the original timeline, it was confirmed that Yoo Yeon Seo died immediately at the scene of a traffic accident on March 20, 2018, at 19:04 .>

<It is currently April 7, 2018, 14:59.>

Beta-9, who had read his thoughts, responded in a monotonous voice.

"Hey, stop it. Don't make unnecessary noise."

Yu Yeon Seo did not know what the relationship was between this body and himself, but he didn't have the luxury to deal with it sanely. His vision shook unsteadily. If he turned on the automatic mode again in this state, it would put a considerable strain on his body.

Yoo Yeon Seo waved his hand roughly. In an instant, blood began to drip down from his nose.

“You, you are bleeding.”

The man panicked and fumbled for a tissue from the table and handed it over to Yeon Seo. Yeon Seo took it and pressed it to his nose. The amount of blood was quite large for a short-lived nosebleed. The man looked worried.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m sorry, but can you please leave now? I am not going to ask again.”

He was starting to get overwhelmed, and the constant talking next to him bothered him, like mosquitos flying around him.

The man's eyes widened in surprise at the 'please' said by Yoo Yeon Seo. He thought he knew him well, but he must really be unwell.

"Alright..."

The man tried to make sense of the situation, but Yeon Seo's physical condition did seem unusual. He was about to go when he thought of something.

“Wait, let me just ask you one thing before I leave.”

The man walked towards the door and sighed heavily. After much contemplation, he decided to take a chance and speak up.

"You left our team...was it because of your grandfather?”

"..."

“Was it because of Chairman Yoo or because you hate being an idol?”

The man inadvertently overheard the conversation between Yoo Yeon Seo and Chairman Yoo Chang Ho earlier. The group in 'made me leave my group' was referring to the idol group he was a part of.

Yeon Seo was unable to say anything. It was something that was about the original host and he had no idea what was going on. However, the man seemed to accept the silence positively and had a complicated expression.

"So that's it...well, I'll go. Take good care of yourself.”

The man trudged along. The door to the room closed quietly.

"What's with that guy...?"

As soon as he woke up, he had to deal with not only the family but also a strange guy who was either a friend or an enemy, it felt like he had passed through a storm.

"Now what shall I do..."

Currently, he was Yoo Yeon Seo, not Kang Jin Hoo. In a peaceful 2018...

What happened to Yoo Yeon Seo? What kind of life did he live?

'I need information about this body...'

First, I have to survive and adapt to this world by embracing it and acting as Yoo Yeon Seo.

'I think I need to get some sleep first...'

Yoo Yeon Seo, who was barely holding onto consciousness, blacked out.

***

After leaving Yeon Seo’s room, the three generations of the Jusung Group, surrounded by bodyguards, headed towards the parking lot. The people nearby could be found whispering as they observed the entourage.

“The doctor said it was a miracle.”

Yoo Eun Hoo broke the silence with difficulty.

“I'm sure Yeon Seo was happy to see grandfather."

“Eun Ho, don't try to defend your younger brother. He's been too spoiled."

"That's because he's my younger brother, so I think I know him better than grandfather does.”

It was a heartfelt comment, but the tone was light. Chairman Yoo stopped for a moment to look meaningfully at Yoo Eun Ho.

“When he recovers, I will take him to see you. So don't be too angry, grandfather.”

"Hmmm."

Even though there were some benefits to being a Yoo, becoming the youngest managing director did not come easy. He had excellent business skills, good intuition and cool-headedness, but when it came to family, he was surprisingly quite thoughtful and considerate. Feeling proud of his eldest grandson, Yoo Chang Ho felt more at ease.

“That's right, Father. We'll let Yeon Seo do what he wants.”

Although the eldest grandson was good, Yoo Geon Min, his own son, fell short of his standards. He was good at company work, but he had too much affection.

“That's what a guy who couldn't even protect his own family says.”

Chairman Yoo clicked his tongue and got into the car.

The 'family' that Chairman Yoo said was not referring to Yoo Yeon Seo. Yoo Geon Min, who was left behind, was hurt. Yoo Eun Ho comforted his father on the back and led him to his car.
