“Please just leave me alone….”
Exhausted after just a few days, she finally threw away all her pride and pleaded with the five-year-old child.
“No way. We have nothing but our bodies as assets, so we absolutely must take care of our health and live!”
However, it didn’t work at all on the stubborn child.
Cha Siwon insisted that she needed to be healthy from now on to earn a living as an adult, and somehow managed to get her up.
Even though he was five years old, an age when he should be living in dreams and fantasies, Cha Siwon only talked about realistic things.
At first, she wondered what was wrong with this child, but after being forcibly dragged around by Cha Siwon for several days, her thoughts soon changed.
Because Cha Siwon’s realistic nature pulled her, who had been trapped in despair, back to reality in the same way.
‘This place is better than I thought.’
As she began to move reluctantly, she was able to properly see the orphanage and this world for the first time.
Though old and worn, it was incomparably cozier than Kiris’ attic.
There was no one here who abused her, and none of the orphanage teachers laid a hand on the children.
Rather, they tried their best to raise the children healthy and bright even with their meager resources.
Even though they were poor, everyone here always smiled brightly.
This wasn’t the hell where she had lived in her previous life.
This was a completely different world from her previous life, where she could finally live a proper new life without committing sins.
“….”
Having finally accepted this fact five years after her reincarnation, she secretly cried a little that night.
“Pretty girl! Let’s go see the sunlight!”
And the next morning, when Cha Siwon came to find her again, she said:
“My name is Joo Hyun-jin.”
Not Ortel Kiris, not the name given by parents in this world whose faces she couldn’t even remember.
Her new name, chosen entirely by her own strength alone.
“Hello, Hyun-jin!”
Her first friend in life called that name for the first time.
It was from that moment that the broken clock slowly began to move again.
* * *
Jin, who woke from sleep, slowly closed and opened her eyes.
A gentle smile naturally appeared on her lips from the dream of the past that she hadn’t had in a very long time.
After deciding to live her second life with the name Joo Hyun-jin in a new world.
For the first time in her life, she realized that life could actually be enjoyable.
Perhaps due to the influence of her previous life, unlike herself who didn’t trust people much, Cha Siwon was amazingly cheerful and loved people.
Though there were times when it was tiring, she never once disliked Cha Siwon.
When it was hard to adapt because this world was so different from where she lived in her previous life, he always helped her first.
She kept her promise to make her happy until they left the orphanage.
‘That’s when it was. When I started thinking I could give my life for Cha Siwon.’
She had already died in place of Rute in her previous life to get revenge on ‘Evil’.
Giving her life again for her one and only friend in life, the one who made her live, wasn’t difficult at all.
Rather, she was more willing.
But she didn’t know then.
She never imagined that in this peaceful world, Cha Siwon would leave this world first at such a young age, leaving her behind.
The day she heard the news that Cha Siwon had died.
Joo Hyun-jin despaired.
She finally had something she wanted more than death, she was happy thinking she could finally be happy too.
She clutched her chest and wailed, asking how everything could be taken away from her again.
Even her first life, living and dying like a worm, hadn’t been this heartbreaking.
Honestly, Joo Hyun-jin’s second life practically died that day too.
So she willingly gave her third chance to Cha Siwon.
She still thinks it was the best choice she made throughout all her lives.
‘If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to see my third life or Cha Siwon’s current appearance.’
Jin looked at Cha Siwon sitting across from her, or rather, her friend who was now living with the name Ordel.
Her face was gently relaxed as she hummed and read a book.
She wondered why she suddenly dreamed of their first meeting at the orphanage.
It must have been because she was humming an Earth lullaby they used to sing together often since childhood.
“It’s been a while since I heard that song.”
“Oh, you’re awake?”
Ordel smiled as she looked at Jin.
“I don’t know the lullabies of this world. The only lullabies I have to sing for prenatal education are from Earth.”
Prenatal education.
At those words, Jin lowered her head.
Ordel’s belly was round and swollen under the comfortable, loose-fitting dress she wore.
No matter how many times she saw it, it was unbelievable—the body of a nine-month pregnant woman at full term.
Jin clicked her tongue.
“To think you’re having a child.”
“I was wondering why you didn’t say that today.”
Ever since learning about Ordel’s pregnancy, Jin said this whenever she had the chance.
It was strange.
To think that the little kid she’d known since her bright and precocious childhood was already grown up and carrying a baby.
And the baby’s father was Rute Sieri.
Crack!
A menacing sound came from her unconsciously clenched fist.
Ordel chuckled.
“I was waiting to see when that sound would come.”
Being amazed that she was having a child, while simultaneously suffering from anger toward Rute Sieri.
This had become Jin’s recent routine.
“How can I help it when that guy is making you suffer. If someone’s going to get pregnant, he should do it himself.”
Jin clicked her tongue and relaxed her hands.
Ordel had wanted the child too, and honestly, Jin was getting excited thinking she’d soon see her niece or nephew.
But whenever she saw her friend struggling to carry the child for ten months, her stomach turned.
Why should my friend suffer? Wouldn’t it be nice if Rute Sieri got pregnant instead?
“My body is definitely much heavier now that I’m at full term. But thanks to the divine relic and divine power, it’s not as hard as I thought.”
Ordel touched the divine relic Aurora hanging around her neck.
The divine relic that had helped Trisha during her pregnancy was generously exerting its power for Ordel too.
Especially since she was the Holy Maiden of the Sun God, the divine relic’s effects were even better.
Moreover.
“The Sun God blesses me whenever he has the chance, so I have no morning sickness and sleep well.”
Worried that his precious Holy Maiden might suffer, the Sun God bestowed blessings without rest.
Ordel was so healthy that she felt sorry for all the pregnant women in the world.
“Childbirth won’t be too difficult either, so don’t worry. Remember how Lady Trisha was fine even after giving birth to such a big healthy baby?”
“…Hmph, if it weren’t for that, Rute Sieri would have had his back torn apart by my hands.”
Actually, on the day Ordel first told Jin about her pregnancy.
Jin hugged her friend tightly and was greatly delighted. The fact that she secretly shed a few tears was a secret even from Ordel.
However, immediately after that, she went to find Rute and joyfully swung the axe that had been useless since killing ‘Evil’ for the first time in a while.
Even during all that, Rute wasn’t angry at all but had a big smile on his face looking thrilled to death, which made her even more furious.
She couldn’t bear to make her pregnant friend a widow, so she couldn’t kill him. She just wanted to land one good hit, just one proper hit, but he wouldn’t let her hit him.
‘If I get hurt, who will take care of Del? I absolutely cannot get hurt anywhere from now on.’
There were Sun God priests everywhere who could heal injuries, so how could such an excuse work?
But Rute never let her hit him, and in the end, Jin had to be satisfied with fiercely slapping his back instead of splitting him with the axe.
“Still, Rute did what he had to do. I didn’t know he would immediately bind me with divine power when I said I wanted to enjoy our honeymoon a bit more.”
Ordel shook her head.
“I first learned from watching Rute that divine power could be used that way.”
That’s right.
Before getting married, Ordel had informed Rute that since they were still young, she wanted to earn more money and enjoy their newlywed life longer.
Of course, in this world, marriage and childbirth happened much earlier than on Earth, but even knowing this, Rute accepted Ordel’s wishes without a single complaint.
And that evening, though she didn’t know exactly what or how he did it, he smiled brightly and said he had “tied things up” with divine power, so now they could be intimate comfortably without any worries.
Jin, who had been innocently enjoying sweet desserts with Ordel at the time, nearly had her ears rot off from that nuclear bomb of information.
