1. Take a snapshot to capture this moment.
"This looks like a photo studio..."
"Yeah, you seem like a really stylish person."
"Right? Haha.. It's a frog doll. I really like this doll."
at that time -
"I guess the lady likes that character. Haha"
"Ah! Yes. Isn't it cute?"
"It's cute. Haha"
at that time -
Click -
"What is it? Why are you taking a picture?"
"I just took a picture because there was a camera next to me."
".. It came out really ugly!"
"Then, should I, a professional, take the picture for you?"
"Okay! Can I take a picture with this doll?"
"Of course. Haha"
Tak -
"Then take a picture with me."
"Why..?! I want to take the picture alone?"
"Just take a picture with me!"
"I don't like it~!!"
"I told you to take a picture?!"
"I said no!"
"Take a picture of each of you and then take one together. Will that be okay? I hate noisy things."
"Ah.. Sorry! Then I'll take the picture first."
"Yeah. Haha"
I went to the very center of the studio, sat down, and struck a pose. Every time I heard the shutter click, I changed my pose slightly, and I thought this chapter was quite interesting.
When the heroine takes a picture -
" .. he "
"Are you that good?"
"Huh? Oh, yes."
"But how did you escape from that room..?"
" .. I can't tell you that.. "
"Jeonghan! Now you take the picture!"
"Oh, okay! Then I'll take care of it."
"Then I guess I'll have to take a better picture of you."
"Okay then"
Yeoju's point of view -
".. Oh, what is it? It came out well?"
"The man is handsome."
"Right? Anyway... he has a handsome face."
"It's been a while since I've seen such a handsome man and woman while filming. Haha"
"..?! A handsome man and a beautiful woman!! We are strictly in a business relationship! So, that's not what we are in. "
"Is that so? I think you two look so good together..."
".. No! Anyway"
at that time -
"Hey, come here and let's take a picture together."
" .. okay "
I sat down in the middle chair at Yoon Jeong-han's call, and my posture became stiff because I was so close.
"The woman... is so stiff..."
"Ah.. I'm sorry.. haha.. "
"What the~ Are you stiff because you're stuck with me?"
"That's not it..?! Really.. "
Thanks to Yoon Jeong-han's joke, the tension was somewhat relieved and I was able to naturally assume the pose.
"The woman's expression is nice~ haha"
After taking all the pictures, Yoon Jung-han suddenly left, saying he had to go to the bathroom, and only the photographer and I were left in the studio. But then...
"Ah..a frog doll.. "
The face of the frog doll I had was gradually changing into a frog doll with a frown on its face, and I was so surprised that I threw the doll away.
"Why are you throwing that?"
" Ugh... the frog's expression is just... "
"Why? I said you liked it.. Yes?"
"No... I don't like frogs with that face..."
"You said it was good!!! You said it was good to take pictures..?! Then I should take a picture with him..!!! "
".. No! What I mean is.. "
The photographer was getting closer to me, and I was starting to get a little scared. At that time, the only thing I could think of was Yoon Jung-han. Please... Yoon Jung-han, come quickly... Please.
tsk tsk -
Then, a puff of purple smoke enveloped me, and the photographer was thrown out. And my excitement was calming down. What is this familiar scent?
"Ta-da~ I'm here! No, the rose pattern kept reacting, so I concentrated and a purple smoke came out and it must have gone to protect you. Fortunately, it seems to have protected you well."
"Sob... Why are you here now..! You idiot.. "
"I'm sorry.. I was going to come right away, but something came up suddenly."
" .. but later.. "
"Hmm.. Seo Myung-ho, you son of a bitch.. "
"No, bro... why are you interfering? Do you hate us escaping that much?!"
".. We can't sacrifice all 12 of us to save just you. Above all, if the female lead gets hurt and he survives, all 13 of us can come out. I guarantee it."
"Hahaha!!! Lies.. Is this the first or second time I've been fooled by your words?"
"That's right! Just fool me this time too. Just like before."
"Yoon Jeong-han..."
" .. You two just leave it at that. Since you ruined my life right now, I won't guarantee your life or that woman's life. And I'll ruin it all."
Yoon Jeong-han ignored those words, took my hand, and left the store.
2. When is this...
"Why won't I lose consciousness this time? It should have happened by now..."
at that time -
"Hmm... why are you in this chapter?"
" ..?!! "
"Bae Joo-hyun..?"
"Ah. Hey, heroine? I heard there's a rascal wandering around here who's been bothering me a bit. Do you know who it is? If you tell me, I can kick you out of this game... What do you think?"
Then Yoon Jeong-han looked at me, and I was lost in thought. It's true I want to quit this game right away. Who would want to do that? But... why wouldn't I want to quit again? I definitely wanted to leave last time, but... why wouldn't I want to think that seeing that person... would be the last time?
"You choose, heroine."
" ..what do you think? Won't you tell me?"
"What happens if you don't tell me?"
"So, you know what I'm saying?"
"No. I don't know, but I was worried what would happen if I found out that I didn't tell you when I knew."
"If you get caught for not telling me what you know... then you'll have to go to the 4th level room to face reality."
"..the wandering rags.. "
" ..?! "
" .. yeah. who is it?"
" .. I don't know who the wandering bastard is. I've been paying attention to the chapter all along."
"Then what is that guy next to you?"
" my.. "
" ..? "
"My...enemy! A really bad Shiki who makes me more immersed and more obsessed. But that's why I keep taking him with me because he makes me more immersed!"
"Oh... really?"
Bae Joo-hyun looked at Yoon Jeong-han up and down with scary eyes(?) and looked displeased. But who told him to come here?
"But... who told you that the dwarf was here?"
"Ah.. the one you just came from"
" uh? "
"Seong-ho Seo, he told me... I trust our heroine's words more. Since you wouldn't lie to me, I'll be going now. Oh, and you next to me."
"..Me?"
"If you keep that mindset, it'll only make things harder for the heroine. Give up early and go back to your room."
After saying that, Bae Joo-hyun leisurely disappeared.
"..what does the last word mean?"
" .. Since I told you to let go of the feelings I have for you.. you're telling me not to bother you, right?"
No, I know it's not true, but I know how Yoon Jung-han feels about me. He told me when we first met that he likes me, so that means I'm in his heart. I should definitely feel bad and hate him and all that, but why do I feel good and happy about being in his heart? I know I shouldn't be like that, but...
" ..I guess so?"
But I have no choice but to lie for the sake of the future. I don't have such feelings, I don't know how you feel, but I do have such feelings, and I know how you feel.
"Wh...what is it? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Oh... no."
"Oh, right. I brought the picture we took earlier!"
"Uh..when did you get it?"
"A little while ago! Heh, let's see... Oh, it came out well, right?"
"You were originally handsome..!"
"No, you're talking. It came out well~ It's pretty, what the heck"
Heart pounding -
"Ahem.. Give me that!"
"No! I'll take it!"
"Huh.. Then what should I get?"
"Then you take mine alone and yours alone!"
".. Okay! Just don't go.. "
"Hey~ You can't change what you said! Okay!"
Swish -
" .. all right "
So I took the photo and put it in my pocket. And I put my heart inside too, so I wouldn't be caught. And then my consciousness went black.
3. Where did you go?
" .. I come here every time, but I still don't want to come every time.. Right? Yoonjung.. heh. What. Where did you go?"
No matter how much I looked around, I couldn't find Yoon Jeong-han. I opened the door to the second chapter again, but he wasn't there. What the... Where did he go...
At that point in time -
"What... why am I here..."
I first arrived in a place that wasn't the lobby, but a place entirely covered in white. It felt somehow empty and lonely. Then—
"Ugh... what is this all of a sudden..."
The rosette near my collarbone suddenly started hurting, and I collapsed in surprise at the sudden pain. Huh? Why does it suddenly hurt?
The pain continued to intensify and became unbearable. Ha... But where the hell is the heroine?
at that time -
"Even when you're sick, you only think about that kid?"
" who.. "
"You have to bear the weight of Purple Rose to be able to handle the child you have to bear in the future."
"Are you talking about Bae Joo-hyun?"
"No, I'm talking about the most painful thing that the girl named Yeoju will bring you. That weight, that pain, it will be so painful that you will die every day to escape the pain you have now. But... will you be able to handle it?"
"What happens if I can't handle it?"
"The girl named Yeoju... will choose another girl, and you and the other girls who weren't chosen will remain here."
"I will do it"
" what? "
"I can handle it. I don't want the other kids to stay here, and I don't want the female protagonist to choose another kid."
"Then I'll send you back now."
"Before that..!"
" what? "
"..who are you?"
"A servant of Purple RoseI'm looking for someone who can handle this. My name is..."
" ..? "
"What you know isLee Seok-min,Another name is...It's Dokyeom."
"...!! That teahouse"
"Yeah. I guess you can tell me if I'm good at reading people or not. Then I'll send you back to that kid."
At that moment, my consciousness was cut off.
After Jeonghan left -
".. Isn't that telling you too much?"
" .. Jun I chose that kid, what do you think? My choice is "
" .. I have to trust that kid, right? "
" but.. "
