"I thought, I'd rather have a glowing Omega carry my child and make sure it's pretty than one that won't even stand out in the background," Jin-Yeok confessed, his eyes straying from mine nervously.
And with a gentle pit'a'pat, I recalled a memory.
Is it a memory from my past life? No, I don't know. I can't even see the images but I heard Jin-Yeok's solemn voice say,
"Jo-Pil, how are you so pretty even in this state? I can't help but want to adore you?"
It doesn't feel like something the past Jin-Yeok, who didn't care about me till the later parts of the novel, would say, but I don't remember him saying that to me in this life either.
Then... What was it?
My heart kept thumping softly.
When did he say those words to me in the past?
"Have you...?" I can only ask right now. "Have you thought of me as pretty from the beginning?"
Jin-Yeok brought his gaze back to me, softly gazing into my eyes, and leaned closer.
