A woman disguised as a man's survival challenge

3. Stubborn

"...Please do so."

Yeoju thought to herself, 'Why is he acting like that?' and headed home. Even on the way home, she kept looking back just in case.

He's really handsome, but he's a scary person. I don't want to get close to him.

...

A few days later, the female protagonist hears good news from the CEO.

"Yeoju, you passed. Go do well. Don't make any mistakes... Oh, and the most important thing is that you absolutely must not let anyone find out you're a girl."

Really? Did you get in?

"Yeah. I really hope I make it into the debut lineup so I can debut as a solo artist. I’ll probably have to keep pretending to be a man while promoting, but anyway, this is my last chance, so I’ll do my best."

Understood. Thank you! I'll make sure not to get caught and come back safely.

"I guess I'll have to leave work late today. You really need to work hard on singing male songs now, so let's practice your vocal tone. Oh, and from now on, act like a man when you come and go here. If someone calls your name, Yeojun, answer them no matter what, and look like a man too. Got it? Just in case."

"yes."

...

At 3:00 AM, Yeoju, having just left work, had to take a taxi home. However, she couldn't get a call, soThe female protagonist was at a loss. Just then, a black car she had never seen before stopped in front of her.

"?"

- "Shall we go home now? Tayo."

"..."

Perhaps due to the circumstances, Yeoju was briefly glad to see Subin, but declined, saying she was fine. She knew something bad might happen if she got in the car...

"Are you really sure you'll be okay? You'd better listen to me."

"it's okay."

"Just get on before they force you."

"Excuse me, I've felt this for a while now, but why are you so unreasonable? I'm really fine, so please just go."

- "Do you want me to show you how reckless you really are?"

Subin let out a short sigh, got out of the car, and strode toward Yeoju with her long legs. Feeling terrified, Yeoju stumbled backward and fell, her body instantly lifted into the air.

"...Why are you so light? Is it because you're a woman?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

- "It's hard to pretend to be a man, isn't it?"

"...What are you talking about? That's the right man."

"You're so thin, how can you be a man? Don't go over there and hug anyone other than me. You'll get caught right away."
