Chapter 4

“Can you see this?”

“See what.”

“The system window.”

“What’s that supposed to be.”

“It’s a translucent window. You can’t see it?”

Mr. Gye Deok-ho stared intently at the system window my fingertip was pointing to, then soon frowned and said.

“I can’t see it.”

I guess not all possessed people can see it.

Then that means only I can see it.

But why? I’m not even the female protagonist. Is it some kind of privilege for a supporting character?

While I was lost in thought, Mr. Gye Deok-ho stomped his feet loudly.

What a shock.

“I have to live in this body for the rest of my life?”

“Probably.”

[Incorrect answer.]

Hey, tell me the correct answer too!

As I was racking my brains trying to figure out the correct answer, Mr. Gye Deok-ho stomped his foot once more with a bang.

“Damn it!”

“Please calm down first.”

“How can I calm down right now? Wearing these scraps of cloth and being called miss or whatever?”

“Getting worked up won’t solve anything either.”

At my words, Mr. Gye Deok-ho cursed for quite a while, then eventually held his head in both hands.

“Gwak Beom, that bastard… I’ll definitely beat him to death…”

I didn’t know who Gwak Beom was, but he seemed to hate him enough to want to kill him.

I patted Mr. Gye Deok-ho’s shoulder and waited for him to calm down.

“But aren’t you bothered at all?”

“Me? Hmm. About what?”

“You got possessed too.”

“That’s right.”

“Don’t you want to go back to your original world?”

“Hmm. Not particularly.”

I was a little confused at first after getting possessed, but that was all.

No, it was actually a good thing.

When I was in South Korea, I was even more unhappy than Rene.

“I don’t have any lingering attachments.”

“How can you not have any. What about family?”

“I cut ties with them long ago. It would have been better if I didn’t have any.”

“Friends?”

“I don’t have any.”

“A boyfriend?”

“I was too busy to have time for dating.”

“Your life was really…”

“Shitty, right? Maybe that’s why I’m quite satisfied with this life.”

Haneul Soo-young never had a single day without worrying about money.

Should I skip lunch again today, if I don’t get the scholarship I’ll have to take a leave of absence next semester, and I need to replace these shoes with holes in the soles.

I lived each day just trying to get by, so I was afraid of tomorrow coming.

At least Rene has money. She has friends and goes to parties.

It was a pretty decent life.

For some reason, Mr. Gye Deok-ho stopped his rampage and was staring at me with pitying eyes.

“You’re still young but you’ve suffered a lot.”

Seeing him plop down on the floor, he seemed to have calmed down somewhat.

He also seemed to be accepting the fact that he had been possessed.

Maybe because his outer shell was the female protagonist, when he kept his mouth shut and stayed still, he looked quite pure and elegant.

Definitely the female protagonist. Pretty indeed. Hmm.

I was sitting in the middle of the completely messy bedroom when I suddenly realized we hadn’t properly introduced ourselves, and I sprang up from the floor.

“Come to think of it, we haven’t properly introduced ourselves to each other.”

I extended my hand toward Mr. Gye Deok-ho.

“I’m Haneul Soo-young. I’m 20 years old. I was an ordinary college student in Korea. Oh, and I’m female. What about you, Mr. Gye Deok-ho?”

Mr. Gye Deok-ho tilted his neck as if annoyed, then began reciting his personal information roughly.

“Name’s Gye Deok-ho. Age 53. Gender male. Job is executive managing director at Taejung Construction.”

I’d heard of Taejung Construction before.

I heard it was a company rooted in organized crime that rivaled major corporations.

If he was an executive managing director of such a business…

“Were you perhaps a gangster?”

“Yeah.”

No wonder his touch when breaking the second male lead’s wrist seemed unusual.

So he was a gangster…

Quickly understanding, I plopped down next to Mr. Gye Deok-ho.

But with a 30-year age difference, is it right to call him Mr. Gye Deok-ho?

Doesn’t that seem a bit rude? Should I correct it even now?

While I was thinking deeply, Gye Deok- no, the old man suddenly turned to me and asked.

“But how did you end up getting possessed?”

“Me? I just woke up and found myself in this body.”

“Really? Then maybe it was sudden death.”

“Do you think we died?”

“Well, I died too.”

“How did you pass away, sir?”

“Me? Got stabbed.”

“I see.”

The old man said he had a younger guy named Gwak Beom whom he cherished, but that guy betrayed him and stabbed him.

Indeed, it was a reason to be angry.

But if we came to this world after dying, did I really die suddenly?

I’d never thought about Haneul Soo-young’s original body, but if I really died as the old man said, I was a little curious about who would hold my funeral.

I hope I didn’t become an unclaimed body.

While I was briefly lost in other thoughts, I soon recalled the red crack that had crossed the sky and made an “ah” sound.

Come to think of it, I had to solve that problem.

I got up from my seat, pulled back the tattered curtains, and opened the window wide.

The old man frowned at the sudden influx of light as if he were a vampire.

I pointed at the sky and turned to the old man.

“Sir, can you see that?”

“What… what is that thing?”

Fortunately, he seemed to be able to see that.

The old man, who had gotten up on his knees, approached the window.

He looked at the large red crack crossing the sky and frowned once more.

“Why is only that part red.”

“It looks like a crack to me.”

“A crack? What’s that supposed to be?”

Where should I start explaining?

After pondering, I pointed to the system window that was invisible to the old man’s eyes and said.

“You might not be able to see it, but I can see [5% Until World Destruction] written here.”

“World destruction?”

“Yes. This gauge goes up every time the female lead of this novel—that’s you—acts against the original story, and what I mean by original story is…”

I mobilized all the information I knew to teach the old man.

The old man listened to my story, repeatedly frowning and relaxing his brow.

“So to summarize, if I don’t act like the original female lead or whatever, world destruction gets closer?”

“Yes, exactly that.”

“Are you insane? There’s no way something like that exists.”

The old man struck the window frame with his delicate fist—even the female protagonist’s fists were pretty.

“Anyway, if you don’t want the world to be destroyed and all of us to die together, you need to start acting like the original story’s female protagonist from now on.”

“What does acting like a female protagonist mean?”

“Hmm. Well, I guess smiling and being kind to everyone, building romantic storylines with the male protagonists, and getting bullied a bit by the villainess?”

The more I spoke, the more the old man’s face twisted into a menacing expression.

With that kind of expression, even though he was the female protagonist, he looked really scary.

“Fuck.”

“From now on, you can’t curse either. And menacing expressions are also forbidden. Beatrice needs to be lovely, not scary.”

“Why are there so many things I can’t do?”

“That’s just how being a female protagonist is.”

The old man muttered another curse and grabbed his hair.

He seemed quite shocked.

Well, becoming an 18-year-old girl overnight was shocking enough, but now the world would be destroyed if he didn’t act like a female protagonist.

I’d be shocked too if I were him.

“I’ll help you from the side. So don’t worry too much.”

The old man needs to adapt well so I can also prevent world destruction and run off with money.

I firmly grasped the old man’s hand and tried to calm down the agitated old man.

It would be terrible if he caused more of a scene and the gauge until world destruction went up.

Only after taking deep breaths for a while did the old man finally calm down and look at me.

“How long do I have to do this?”

“Well… I think it’ll be fine once the world destruction gauge disappears.”

Would it disappear if we see the ending?

As I reflexively thought this, there was a ding sound and a window saying [Correct.] appeared.

Oh, then even if the old man goes over to South Korea, the world won’t be destroyed, so I can stay in Rene.

That was quite fortunate.

“It seems like it’s until we see the ending of this novel.”

“What’s the ending? If I see the ending, can I return to the original world? Can I also kill that bastard Gwak Beom?”

“Uh…”

Wait, in all three IF side stories, Beatrice ends up with the male leads.

Then the old man and the male leads…?

[Correct.]

Are you insane?

You want me to tell the old man, who’s already going crazy just from being possessed in a romance fantasy, that he needs to end up with the male leads?
