Bo-myeong struggled to wake up in the darkness of his consciousness. I don’t know why I wanted to wake up like this again and survive, but I didn’t want to die suddenly in a car accident. The past days I endured were unfair. After trying hard

to flinch

, I managed to move a single finger. Although it was a slight tremor, Bo-myeong felt that he was still alive.

After that it was a little easier. Fold and unfold the sluggishly moving fingers one by one several times.

‘Strange……! ‘Something is wrong!’

An unfamiliar feeling and an ominous energy came over Bomyeong. I couldn’t wait to open my eyes and check the facts. It felt like the hand that was moving wasn’t his own.

Flash! I barely opened my eyes.

Bo-myeong’s eyes were sore from the sudden light that pierced his eyes. Morning sunlight was pouring into the room with the curtains closed. Bo-myung rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand.

I lifted the hand that was rubbing my eyes and looked at it. I knew it. Unlike Bomyeong’s original hands, which were blunt and rough, they were very white and fair. It was even small.

‘What is it?’

Bomyeong quickly looked around. I thought it would be on a hospital bed, but Bo-myeong was in a room at home, not a hospital. There was a desk across from the room, probably used by students, and a poster of a female idol group was stuck on the wall of the room.

‘Milky Way? When on earth….’

Suddenly. The door opened and a woman in her early 40s came in.

“Do-Wook! Why can’t he wake up like this? I told you to wake up quickly! “Then you’re late.”

Bomyeong, frozen like a newly created spherical robot, slowly turned his head towards the woman.

“Are you awake? If he wakes up, he should answer. “Wash up quickly and get ready for school!”

The woman screamed, dismissing Bo-myeong’s stunned expression as just being half-asleep. The woman slapped Bo-myeong’s back with a loud sound, telling him to wake up quickly. It hurt so much that it took me out of my mind.

“Ugh.”

“Wake up quickly and come out!”

Even after the woman left, Bo-myeong could not come to his senses.

‘What… is this…!’

The environment was too different from the real world to say that I had died and entered the afterlife.

‘Is it like the Truman Show?’

No, it was most convincing to say it was just a dream. But every sensation was so vivid.

Bo-myeong approached the mirror on the wall with trembling steps.

His height was similar to his real self. About 173 centimeters. But other than the height, everything was different. The youthful but handsome face that made one’s eyes widen, the wide shoulders, and the sturdy body were all not Bomyeong’s.

‘This can’t be happening. ‘This…’

Bo-myeong stood close to the mirror, as if he was going into it, and traced his reflection in the mirror with his fingers. It’s an unfamiliar, but familiar face, as if I’ve seen it somewhere before.

‘Where on earth did I see this face?!’

The thought lasted only a moment. Soon I remembered whose face it was. This was Kang Do-wook’s face. It’s a name I heard unexpectedly, but I think the woman also called this body Do-wook.

Bo-myung wandered around the room frantically. I checked the name written crookedly on the textbook hanging on the desk. Kang Do-wook. Kang Do-wook was right. It was the name written on the student ID card that hung around the neck of the chair.

〈Cheongdan High School 2nd grade class 8. Kang Do-wook.〉

An old-fashioned flip phone was placed on the nightstand next to the bed. I quickly opened my flip phone and checked the date and time.

September 13th. The date was the same but the year was different. It went back exactly 15 years.

Unbelievable! Bo-myeong’s heart began to beat violently.

Bo-myeong now looks the same as when Kang Do-wook was seventeen.

I stood in front of the mirror again and caught my breath. When he calmed down, he whispered and scolded himself.

Kang Do-wook was a member of the idol group KK. Although Seo Kang-jun was left as a second-place group behind Man to Man, the group he was a member of, it was still a fairly popular group for a while.

Bomyeong also supported KK, who was active at the same time as Man to Man. If the two groups were nominated for first place together, they would vote for KK via text message. There is a past Bo-myeong who hoped that someone would beat Seo Kang-jun.

Although no one could beat Seo Kang-jun and the group he belonged to.

Moreover, due to a series of incidents and accidents involving members, KK ceased their activities and disappeared after 4 years.

‘But why am I looking like Kang Do-wook?…’

In KK, which consists of 7 members, Kang Do-wook was an ordinary member who was in the 3rd and 4th place in popularity. Although he attracted attention with his handsome face, his short stature and lack of ability to gain much popularity based on his appearance alone were his flaws. His singing wasn’t at the level he could put out as a singer, and he wasn’t the type of person with great talent, so he was a member who couldn’t appeal to anyone other than his face.

If it weren’t for Bo-myeong, who was interested in this area, he might not have been recognized at once.

Suddenly the door opened again and a woman came in.

“Why don’t you come out quickly and what are you doing in front of the mirror?”

I’ve never seen her face, but given the circumstances, that woman is clearly Kang Do-wook’s mother. Bo-myung opened his mouth without saying anything. Confirmation was needed.

“Uh…Mom?”

“Why are you calling me? I’ve prepared rice, so eat it quickly. “Mom goes to work.”

“……yes.”

“yes? Why is he being so polite all of a sudden? “Are you still awake?”

“Uh, uh, hurry up and get to work!”

“okay. “Be sure to eat something before you go.”

“Yes.”

The woman looked at the hesitant Bo-myeong, or rather Do-wook, with a bit of suspicion, and hurried to work at a brisk pace.

As he went out to the kitchen and ate the food on the table, Bo-myeong tried to remember Kang Do-wook’s personal information.

I once saw a talk show that Kang Do-wook appeared on. All I remembered was that Kang Do-wook was an only child, that he grew up wealthy under a professor and his wife, and that he received full support for his idol activities.

Watching the broadcast, it seems like he always had a relaxed attitude without saying much. As if it wasn’t all that bad.

Bomyeong washed up and put on his school uniform for school. It was a school uniform that I had worn more than ten years ago and had never worn before. Even if it’s someone else’s school uniform.

Come to think of it, I didn’t even know where this house was located. It was hard to be sure whether I would be able to go out and find Cheongdango.

“Huh…”

A deep sigh came out.

Although Kang Do-wook later became a celebrity with little activity, he lived a life on a completely different level from Kim Bo-myeong, who never received the spotlight or love interest.

Even his life before debut was different from Bomyeong. Just looking at this room or house, it was a spacious and comfortable space that Bomyeong had never lived in before.

Did the accident distort space and time, or did the soul change? Nothing was certain. However, Bo-myeong has now become Kang Do-wook.

Coincidentally, Kang Do-wook, a member of KK, appeared with Seo Kang-jun during the period when Man to Man was active.

‘okay. ‘Of course.’

Bo-myung clenched his teeth.

This might be an opportunity. No, it was an opportunity.

I didn’t know that an opportunity that had never been given to me in my thirty-three years of life had come all at once. Yes, this was luck.

Good luck living a new life!

Fortunately, there was a bus stop near my house that took a bus to Cheongdan High School. When I got on the bus and paid for the bus with the card from my wallet in my pants pocket, it was difficult to erase the uncomfortable feeling that I was using other people’s money as I wanted.

Anyway, I arrived at school and somehow found my way to the 2nd grade, 8th grade classroom. As I was leaving, several students greeted me and I had to politely accept their greetings. No matter how young the students were, it was awkward to have to speak informally to a complete stranger and say hello.

As I entered the classroom, a student with a sturdy physique who appeared to be about 180 cm tall came to put my arm around his shoulder. Bo-myeong barely resisted the fact that he almost flinched and avoided the hand gesture without realizing it.

“Hey, Kang Do-wook. “Why are you here so early?”

Bo-myeong couldn’t help but wonder when he saw the clock hanging on the classroom wall. To say it was early, it was just a short while before 8 o’clock, the school start time. It was a part that gave us an idea of Kang Do-wook’s school life.

“I ran so hard yesterday that I thought I would crawl out only after first period.”

“…run?”

“Are you saying there aren’t even two bottles left? young.”

‘……Aren’t you in your second year of high school now?’

It was definitely my second year in high school. But you drink and have fun. It was surprising, considering Bomyeong’s school days. This is not surprising, considering the group of Seo Kang-jun who bullied Bo-myeong during his middle school days. Was Kang Do-wook also part of that group? Bo-myeong felt nauseous for a moment.

‘no. I do not know yet. I may not have known, but Kang Do-wook has never been involved in any controversy.’

Bo-myeong checked the name tag of the other person who was giggling. Jinseong Yoon. He appeared to be a close friend of Kang Do-wook.

Bo-myeong’s friends from elementary school dispersed when he reached middle school, and since he was an outcast in middle school, it was difficult for Bo-myeong to have friends. No one knew Bomyeong at the high school he went to after experiencing a major incident with bullying, but Bomyeong was already too mentally broken to maintain deep friendships. I had a few friends in college, but they were different from my childhood friends.

Best friend. Although Bo-myeong had never had it, he knew it well because he wanted it more than anyone else. A playful, casual and comfortable atmosphere.

Since Yoon Jin-seong pulled Do-wook’s body with his arms around his shoulders, Bo-myeong was able to find his own seat and sit down without difficulty.

“hmm. Dowook, this.”

At that time, a female student came up to me and handed me a can of soda. Jihye Lee. I quickly checked the name, but it was difficult to figure out why I was given a drink.

“…what?”

‘Oh, I didn’t mean to say it so rudely.’

On the inside, he was Kim Bo-myeong, but on the outside, he was Kang Do-wook, so his speaking style was also Kang Do-wook’s characteristic slow and indifferent tone.

“You drink it. just!”

Lee Ji-hye, whose face was red, hurried back to her place as if running away.

“I hope the cub is popular. “It’s okay to just have a shiny face.”

Jinseong Yoon grumbled as if it hadn’t happened in a day or two.

“What about Lee Ji-hye? Still, aren’t you the best in your class?”

“…not really.”

Of course, Lee Ji-hye and Bo-myeong were pretty even for a brief glance. However, since I don’t know how Kang Do-wook came into the 18-year-old body, Bo-myeong, who is actually 33 on the inside, was not in a position to evaluate the 17-year-old girl.

“Anyway, you lucky guy!”

Jinseong Yoon sat at his desk, pounding his chest as if he was frustrated.
