Chapter 458 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 458

The chapter opens with the Undertaker visiting Jeong Ye-ji, the Saintess, late at night. Ye-ji internally panics, recognizing the faint scent of alcohol and perfume on him, indicating he recently spent time with Dang Seo-rin. Overwhelmed by romantic jealousy and the pressure of maintaining her 'Constellation' persona, she retreats to the kitchen. In a state of internal turmoil, she consults the voices of various Constellations (Saintess of National Salvation, Chancellor of the Red Cape, etc.) for dating advice, which prove useless and mocking. Desperate to serve something appropriate, she rummages through snacks stored in her ceiling compartment. She discovers ramyeon, which causes her momentary petrification due to its 'low-class' nature, but she rationalizes using raw, broken ramyeon as a decorative snack. She prepares a tray of mixed snacks and green tea, hiding her anxiety behind a blank, polite exterior. Returning to the living room, she serves the Undertaker. He compliments the snacks and notes the chopsticks. Ye-ji sits beside him on the carpet. Their conversation reveals the Undertaker had private plans with Dang Seo-rin, which Ye-ji claims she did not eavesdrop on using her clairvoyance. The Undertaker assures her he would have come regardless. As they talk, Ye-ji repeatedly uses her 'Time Stop' ability to inch herself closer to the Undertaker—first three centimeters, then five, then again—narrowing the physical gap while he remains unaware, presumably due to her lack of complete memory or his assumption that she isn't watching. Her heart races like cicada cries. Once physically close enough for their shoulders to touch, she freezes time again and swaps her teacup with his, ensuring they share a 'linked' object without detection. When time resumes, the Undertaker drinks from her cup. Ye-ji corrects him politely, and he apologizes for the mistake caused by drinking. Time stops again, and Ye-ji swaps the cups back so he drinks from his own original cup. The chapter concludes with the Undertaker placing his hand on hers, leaning his head against hers, and kissing her, a moment underscored by the scent of chocolate from the snacks.
