Chapter 387 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 387

The Undertaker reflects on the nature of memory and nostalgia, citing Oh Dok-seo's cynical view that past masterpieces are merely filtered by time. He recalls his fifth cycle, where Commander Dang Seo-rin ordered him to read *Harry Potter*, specifically noting Hermione’s transformation at the Yule Ball as the archetype for romance fantasy. He notes his own preference for the Harry-Luna dynamic as a critique of the series' irony. His reverie is interrupted when Director Noh Do-hwa, walking beside him in Haeundae, questions his prolonged stare. The Undertaker feigns embarrassment, asking if she is truly Noh Do-hwa or an anomaly. Noh Do-hwa confirms her identity with a warm smile, noting his flustered state, but warns that any public display of their relationship will be fabricated lies, as part of a contract where she reveals no true feelings. She delivers a rapid-fire declaration of fake love: every touch and word is a lie. The Undertaker recognizes this as a tactical maneuver to exploit his vulnerability and deny her the satisfaction of his genuine reaction. He counters by adopting a perfect, fabricated smile, claiming he blushed out of admiration and will now mimic her behavior. A silent, intense exchange of intent occurs through their gaze; Noh Do-hwa attempts to outmaneuver him by interlacing their fingers, a move that shocks the Undertaker. He realizes that while she has infinite resets to forget any black-history scandal, he will bear the eternal stigma of the memory. Before he can process this tactical disadvantage, Dang Seo-rin appears at Jagalchi Market. Startled by the sight of the Undertaker holding hands with Noh Do-hwa, she drops her basket of apples in shock. She screams at the Undertaker, questioning his relationship with Noh Do-hwa. Noh Do-hwa calmly introduces herself, but because Dang Seo-rin perceives the world through sound and timbre, and Noh Do-hwa’s voice is genuine, Seo-rin cannot detect the deception. Overwhelmed by the dissonance between her senses and the reality before her, Dang Seo-rin faints. As chaos erupts and attendants rush to their colleague, Sim Ah-ryeon appears, drawn by the commotion. She ignores the Undertaker’s frantic warnings and begins snapping photos of the scene, captivated by the drama. That evening, Ah-ryeon posts the image to the SG Net with a caption mocking the Undertaker’s alleged infidelity toward the Great Witch. The post garners 3,103 likes, setting a new record for the platform.
