Didn't the monk said he wanted them to his parents in his next life

Yeah, I don’t get it either

I think he is supposed to be reincarnation as their child. The caveat is he could be born to any gender and has no memory of his previous life. I’m just speculating….

I thought so ... I don't know why this site keep removing half of my comment

Yeah I get that but why is he then standing there before their child, like he was this whole time. It’s not making sense…

Ahh Sunim? That's a different monk. He appeared in the recent chapters as the monk's (both are monks lol, I mean the monk who switched the MCs) kouhai/junior. They look the same hence the confusion. But if you notice in the chapter, one of the last panels, the MC monk has yellowish eyes while the monk who greeted their child has brown/dark eyes.

Ah that makes a lot more sense! Thank you :)
