Clumsy Love Leaves Scars

‘Is he trying to leave me behind? Now that I can talk, is he going to abandon me and say, “You’re on your own”?’

A nervous thought crept in. What would she do if he left her here? In the middle of a wilderness like this?

Panic prickled at her. Her breath caught in her throat before she could stop it.

She stiffened slightly, shrinking back—but even then, he didn’t look away.

His gaze stayed fixed, calm and steady, as he muttered under his breath.

“Honestly... it never even crossed my mind that you could get pregnant. I didn’t think that far. I’m sorry.”

“....”

Before she died, Minju had told her there was no way back.

Heesoo had never let herself believe there was. The thought of returning to her world had always felt impossible.

But now—seeing something familiar, holding a phone that might still work, if only faintly—a strange, fragile hope stirred.

“I’m sorry I let you end up in a place like this.”

Maybe, just maybe—there was a way to go back.
