Until finally when Nakamori's hand, almost touched the stranger's shoulder. The woman simply disappeared from before his eyes and... everything went dark. Nakamori again felt a strange sensation around him. He fell down and into a very dark hole.
"Crazy!" Nakamori was completely disgusted as he fell back into the strange sensation.
Disgusted, he finally let himself fall into a long, dark hole. It was like a long, endless tunnel.
Nakamori didn't care where he fell. He just felt fed up, closed his eyes and wished that everything would go back to normal.

"Irene... Ireneee!" A faint voice called out a name.
Nakamori tried to open his eyes that felt so heavy. His head felt incredibly dizzy. It felt like he had just gotten off a gripping roller coaster ride.
"Huweek ...." His stomach felt so queasy and sure enough it wasn't long before he threw up, letting the contents of his stomach all out.
"Are you okay?" Someone tried to help Nakamori up. "I'll take you to the bathroom," he said as he helped the girl up.
Nakamori, who was still not fully awake, let the person help her. Arriving at the bathroom, Nakamori squatted on the toilet and let all the contents of her stomach out. After he spit out all the contents of his stomach, he felt so weak that he wanted to drink the water in the bathtub.
"Why did you force yourself to drink all that soju (Korean alcohol) you know, drinking ten bottles of soju at once is dangerous!" the man scolded. He returned to help Nakamori and led him out of the bathroom.
After getting out of the bathroom, the person brought Nakamori to sit on a soft sofa. Then he brought him some hangover soup. He even fed Nakamori patiently.
"From now on I will absolutely forbid you from touching alcohol!" the man said.
"Huh?" Nakamori himself still didn't understand his situation. Even though the person in front of him was busy babbling about why he was getting excessively drunk on soju. Nakamori himself was sure and well aware that he had not consumed soju before.
"You're really annoying. Please at least listen to me for a bit! I am your husband after all!" he said as he fed Nakamori.
Wait, husband! What did he say just now? Nakamori thought frantically. He then stared at the person in front of him for a long time and strangely enough he actually remembered Saeran. Nakamori himself was convinced that the person in front of him was Saeran. But he was pretty sure that Saeran didn't have brown hair. And one more thing, Saeran didn't look this mature as he remembered.
"Saeran?" said Nakamori hesitantly.
The man furrowed his brow in confusion. But before long, he laughed slightly as if nothing had happened. "Gosh why are you suddenly calling me by my old name when you hardly ever call me that anymore. Ah I'm sure it must be the influence of alcohol." She smiled faintly.
Well Nakamori himself was now convinced that the person was indeed Saeran. But she herself was not sure, was Saeran indeed her husband? When did she get married to this man.
"After the soup is finished, you should go to bed. I have to first clean up the rest of this mess beforehand." Saeran slightly complained at the many soju bottles scattered in his living room. "It seems I have to be strict with watching you to keep you away from alcohol."
Well Nakamori himself really couldn't wrap his head around his current situation. His brain could not digest this strange occurrence. All he could do right now, was go to sleep. Let Saeran escort him to the bedroom, then let his body simply collapse on the soft bed. It was too difficult for her to understand this difficult and strange situation right now.

The Next Morning
Nakamori who had woken up went to look in the mirror in the bathroom, when he looked in the mirror he found that he had a slightly different appearance. His face and body were still the same but slightly different.
Nakamori herself sure does have a fuller and more prominent chest. As well as a face that looks more mature than before. Nakamori was sure that this was still his body. But on the one hand he realized that his body now looked more mature. After all, he wasn't sure he had long hair that almost touched his butt before. Nor was he sure that he had matured in one day. She was sure that by looking at her appearance in the mirror, she estimated that she had reached the age of around late 20s or early 30s. The appearance of a mature woman at around that age was the appearance she had now.
"Did I jump through time or am I in the future now?" Nakamori muttered to himself.
If he really was, being in the future was probably the exact reason that he now looked mature. It wasn't even surprising that Saeran seemed to have matured as well.
Plus she knew another fact, that she and Saeran were a married couple. It was a little ridiculous to know that Saeran was her husband in the future. But Nakamori himself honestly didn't mind it and didn't mind it at all.
"Irene why are you in there for so long?" called Saeran from outside.
Oh looks like that guy is awake. Nakamori himself finally had to end his frantic thinking and had to prepare immediately, facing this strange thing.

"Can I have some seaweed soup?"
"Here, Irene." Saeran brought the bowl of homemade seaweed soup to Nakamori.
"Thank you." Nakamori then ate the seaweed soup quietly. He still felt a little awkward around Saeran. Even though he usually easily approached Saeran and joked around with him, now that Saeran was an adult and his husband, it was still awkward to joke around with him.
"Why are you so strange? I think you're too quiet. Whereas usually you talk a lot or are chatty this morning. Are you still feeling sick? I'm a little worried about you," Saeran said in a worried tone of voice.
Nakamori didn't know what to answer. It was certainly awkward for him to speak at the moment. "It's okay, I just feel that a calm atmosphere can help my mood," he said originally.
Saeran frowned. "I'm not sure. You're usually always acting up. Even when you're sick, you're as chatty as a duck." Saeran was still worried.
"I'm fine, Saeran!" Nakamori insisted. "If you're still worried about me, you can take me to the hospital right now."
Hearing Nakamori's words made Saeran a little surprised. But he still acted calmly and felt he was used to it.
