Kim Hana, a 24-year-old journalist, had always been a realist—except for that one Christmas Eve when she jokingly scribbled a wish on a piece of paper: "What if I could go back and fix everything?"
She never expected it to come true.
But fate had other plans.
When she woke up, she wasn't in her apartment, nor was she in her own timeline. Instead, she found herself in a parallel universe—back in her seventh-grade classroom, the very place where her life had taken its first irreversible turn.
The room was empty.
Except for two people.
Herself.
And...him
Park Jaehyun.
Her first love. Her ex-husband. The man she had married at 23, only to divorce before her 24th birthday. The boy she'd fallen for on an ordinary evening , just because of a few seconds eye contact, back when the biggest worry in her life was whether her grandfather would buy her ice cream on their way home from the market.
Now, here he was—younger, softer, but with the same infuriating smirk.
"Wow. You looked awful when you were drooling on your desk," he said, leaning against the chair in front of her. "Like a bulldog who lost a fight with a nap."
Seoyeon's breath caught.
That voice. That joke. That stupid, wonderful way he could make even an insult sound affectionate.
This wasn't just time travel.
This was a second chance.
