#look I cannot explain why my brain suddenly went into creative mode after being empty for years but 🤷‍♀️

Another crossposted threadfic:

A wangxian time travel Marry My Husband (kdrama) AU where wei ying is dying in a hospice, but before he does he decides he wants to see his sister again in person, not over video chat. She is very pregnant and very at risk and can’t make the trip.

It’s his final wish. (He ‘jailbreaks’)

Getting there isn’t easy. His body is weak and movement hurts, but his stubbornness gets him to the train station. Sitting on the train allows him to rest.

He’s not completely aware of his taxi ride to his sister’s, but he dreams of his mom telling him she’ll take care of him.

That she’s sending him a present to make sure he’s alright. He just needs to see it.

He gets to his sister’s and something is very wrong. At first he thinks it’s the baby, but he gets a glimpse of her horrified face, men in masks

And a gun.

He’s falling. Everything goes black.

He wakes up a decade in the past.

He’s still at his old job, the one at Lan Industries that he loved. It’s years before he was fired for stealing a coworker’s work.

He realizes he has a mystery to solve. More than one. Who claimed his work was stolen? Who killed him?

But, more time-sensitive, he needs to remember enough of his life to not alarm anyone

He remembers Lan Zhan as being a tough boss. He is tough. He’s unamused when wy makes a scene at his desk when his desk neighbor gropes him, forgetting they dated around this time

He does ask if wy wants to submit an HR report while handing his ice for his knuckles.

wy: no, I think we’re dating. We are dating, right?

lz: I believe you broke up?

wy, pretty sure it was on again: well we’re for sure broken up NOW

lz: Mn.

The closer wy gets to lz, the more he feels like there’s… something.

There’s also something very shady going on at the office in secret, and he can’t put his finger on what it is.

And now he needs to figure out what and also avoid whatever got him sick in the first place

A lot to do for a very busy time traveller!

And then lz makes a reference to an international incident that happens 3 years in the future

And

Oh. His mother had made a promise.
