fake life
A brief introduction and the circumstances of the female protagonist!


정예린
Hello!! I am the female protagonist of this fanfic, Jeong Ye-rin. I am a very bright and cheerful girl. Please take good care of me.


김태형
I'm Kim Taehyung. I know that Yerin has been hiding her true self since she was little due to circumstances, but I haven't seen Yerin's true self.

The only people who know Yeoju's true identity are her mother and older sister (her father passed away in an accident, and since then, Yeodu has been hiding her true identity). Then, let's only introduce the main characters and introduce Yeoju's circumstances!

정예린
When I was in the first year of middle school, we went on a trip.


정은지
Yerin, it's so pretty here, come here!!

정예린
Sister, I think it might be a bit dangerous there..?

Eunji was standing precariously on a large rock near the sea.

정예린
Sister, it looks dangerous there, come down quickly!!

At that moment, the big rock moved and fell into the sea.

정예린
Sister!!!!

When Eunji fell, Yerin and Eunji's father caught the falling Eunji.

예린,은지 아빠
Fortunately...

But it didn't end there. The large rock fell into the sea, and the large waves almost knocked it over onto Eun-ji and her father.

예린,은지 아빠
Eunji, get out of here!!


정은지
Dad~!!!

With a thud, Eun-ji and Ye-rin's father called Ye-rin, his head bleeding from being hit by a rock.

예린,은지 아빠
Yerin, listen carefully.. This is not an accident. Ask your mom about a person named ×××. And when Yerin becomes a high school student, you must find a kid named Kim Taehyung. He will help you. And until 500 days have passed since you met Taehyung, you must hide your true self and live.. Got it?

정예린
Dad..? Dad..? Dad!!!!! Sob..sob..sob..


정은지
Because of me, Dad...sob...sob...sob

예린,은지 엄마
Eunji, it's not because of you...

So the next day came

정예린
Mom, Mom, do you know someone named ×××?

예린,은지 엄마
How did you do that to him?

정예린
Before my dad died, he told me that his death wasn't an accident, that I should hear the details from my mom, and that when I became a high school student, I should go find a guy named Kim Taehyung and he would help me, and that I should hide my true self and live until 500 days had passed since I met him.

예린,은지 엄마
Ha...go and bring Eunji.

정예린
okay..

Eunji was listening to all of this


정은지
What does this mean?

예린,은지 엄마
Okay, you're both here at a good time. Sit down and I'll tell you a story.

예린,은지 엄마
That happened when my mom and dad were in high school.

예린,은지 엄마
At that time, your mom and dad were dating. Your dad and mom were quite popular. They received a lot of business cards from entertainment agencies and a lot of confessions. But before your dad and mom started dating, there was a kid who liked your mom, and that was ×××. Mom had received confessions before, so it didn't really matter.

예린,은지 엄마
The extent of his liking was so severe that he followed me home and tried to come inside. If a stranger asked for directions or if a man talked to his mother even a little, he would chase after me and hit me and curse at me. When he met my friends, he would put his arm around my shoulder or hold my hand.

예린,은지 엄마
If we touched each other, he'd call the police and swear at me, calling me a sexual harasser. So when I told him that my dad and I were dating, he'd try to hold my hand and kiss me whenever we met. That kind of behavior continued, so I ended up going abroad with my dad to study, lived there, gave birth to Eunji, and then came back to Korea.

예린,은지 엄마
And when Yerin was born and Eunji was 2 years old, ××× came to our house looking for something. I was terrified when I saw that and reported it to the police, but he said he wasn't sure what had happened and just left. After that, he followed me around like a stalker.

예린,은지 엄마
But ××× already had a wife and child, but as soon as he found me, he divorced her. I hired someone to get rid of ×××, left you guys with your dad, and took the woman and the child overseas, gave the woman and the child a house to live in, and took care of the woman and the child.

예린,은지 엄마
And that kid is Taehyung. As you all know, in our country, you need permission and fingerprints from the family to send that person to jail and avenge your father. (Let's just say that you need permission and fingerprints to send him to jail, because that's not reality!)

예린,은지 엄마
That's why I told you to meet Taehyung.

정예린
But why me and not Eunji? Eunji will be a high school student next year. So asking her to meet up would send that person to jail faster.

예린,은지 엄마
Yeah, if I make Eunji do it like you said, it would be faster, but that won't work. You have to be 500 days old after becoming a high school student to get permission from your family. You're the same age as Taehyung. But if I make Eunji do it, I'll have to wait two more years anyway.

정예린
Even so, if that Kim Taehyung becomes a high school student and 500 days pass, you will be a senior in high school, so you will be much better off than me, a first-year student. Why me...

예린,은지 엄마
That's... your dad and Taehyung met once, and he seemed to like you quite a bit. Maybe that's why? You're the same age.

정예린
Oh..Mom, by any chance..you're not that kid I met in 2nd grade who wore glasses, was short, had a pug nose, and spoke really slowly...? (Please tell me it's not true, tell me it's not true!!)

예린,은지 엄마
I remembered...

정예린
...is that really him?

예린,은지 엄마
That's right, that's him

정예린
...I hate him!!!!!!!!

예린,은지 엄마
Ha... that won't work...

정예린
Why isn't something working..?

예린,은지 엄마
You should marry her

정예린
Wha..what???!!! Why me?

예린,은지 엄마
When he was young, Taehyung listened well, but after his mother died, his personality became cold and he didn't listen well and only did what he wanted to do. But when I told him that he had to do this to meet you, he did well. But since he kept talking and not seeing you, he didn't eat and locked himself in his room.

예린,은지 엄마
When I showed him your picture again, he came out of the room right away. So if you tell him you're getting married, won't he put you in jail right away?

정예린
Then, if she puts her father in jail, can she get a divorce?

예린,은지 엄마
Why? Just get married and live together.

정예린
Who likes a short, ugly, slow-speaking, snub-nosed person!!!!!!

예린,은지 엄마
Why are you so handsome when you're big?

정예린
Don't lie, I'll do it then I'll go to my room

정예린
How handsome would that nosebleeder be if he grew up... Is he really handsome?? I want to see him.. If he really is handsome? No.. My ideal type is BTS's V oppa, but there's no way he looks like that.

My mom and sister heard everything outside.


정은지
Even if you say it like that, I guess you still have high expectations?

예린,은지 엄마
That's right. Oh, that's right. Then, since we have to hide Yerin's true appearance, we should prepare quickly.

The next day

예린,은지 엄마
From now on, when you go out, wear this.

정예린
What is this..?

What my mom gave me was a human-shaped garment that covered even the face. It was something like that.

예린,은지 엄마
You can change your voice and height by hanging it there, so you can wear it when you go out in front of the house.

정예린
Mom, no matter what, how can you make me this fat and ugly..!!!

예린,은지 엄마
So what? That's not your real self.

정예린
People know this is my real self, and if I fall or get hurt and there's no bruises or blood, they'll find out right away.

예린,은지 엄마
That's why the body is big and heavy. It's like a person, so it'll be okay since it's been talked to a lot.

정예린
Ha.. Seriously why do I have to do this?

예린,은지 엄마
It's okay because you can take it off after 500 days of being a high school student.

정예린
Okay, so can I take it off in front of my classmates?

예린,은지 엄마
Do it yourself

정예린
Yay

This is the heroine's situation. See you in the next episode. Bye~!!
