I entered the novel I wrote

Episode 10

김민규

Are you asking because you don't know?

김민규

What did you say to Seungcheol hyung that made him ignore us?

박여주

Shh)) Oh, that? How did you do that? I saw it myself, so that's how it was

김민규

So what did you see?

박여주

...Do I really have to show it?

김민규

of course

박여주

.....

The female lead, who had been hesitating for a moment, eventually showed the video Seungcheol had taken yesterday.

The female protagonist was in tears, perhaps because of the trauma from that time.

박여주

Done... beggar?

김민규

uh....

Min-gyu also saw the tears in Yeo-ju's eyes and was slightly flustered.

Suddenly-

황욱희

Hmm? You shouldn't come here, get out.

박여주

Yes.. sorry

The female protagonist was traumatized, but more than that, she shed tears at the thought of seeing her brother, whom she had lost when she was young, right before her eyes.

황욱희

Hmm)) What, what did you say to him?

김민규

Yes? No... That...

황욱희

Sigh... Go out, I'll comfort you and send you away.

김민규

...Okay, I'll go.

.

황욱희

are you okay?

박여주

Oh my... Oppa...

황욱희

Embarrassed)) Why are you like that?

박여주

Oppa... why... sob... do you have no self-esteem...? sob...

황욱희

What are you talking about?

박여주

Haa... Oppa...

황욱희

What's wrong? Where does it hurt?

widely-

하성운

Hey, I told you to be careful...

박여주

He's my real brother... My lost real brother... Sob... My real brother...

하성운

But if you talk before you find yourself, you will get hurt

박여주

Don't worry about me, I... I care more about you than me being sick.

하성운

...just once, be careful, if more than one person finds their ego by talking to you, you might fall.

박여주

Okay... Thank you...

widely-

박여주

Ugh...

The heroine collapses, clutching her heart as if it were in pain.

황욱희

Hey!!!! Park Yeo-ju!!!!!!!!!

박여주

Still... oh well... I see... I'm looking for it..... haha..

With those words, the heroine collapsed.

박여주

Hmm...

황욱희

Are you okay, heroine?

황욱희

Are you coming to your senses?

박여주

Smirk)) I'm okay, I... remember?

The female lead asked cautiously, and Wook-hee just smiled.

박여주

I told you to speak...

황욱희

...of course I remember

박여주

I missed you... Where have you been all this time..?

황욱희

Uh... I just go to work... and stuff... haha

박여주

Where do you go?

황욱희

Just... I'm an intern, but I work at an HL company lol

박여주

Was there such a company?

황욱희

It's not a famous small business, so you probably don't know much about it.

박여주

Still, I'm glad we can meet like this.

황욱희

But... how did you end up here?

박여주

I just... woke up and I was here!! I still don't know why lol

황욱희

...ah..

박여주

why?

황욱희

Smirk)) No, just rest for a bit. I'll go outside and buy you a drink.

박여주

Yeah, take care on your way.

.

Yeoju City Point

박여주

Hmm... what is it...

There's not just one strange place...

The first thing is, why does your expression harden while you're talking?

Second, I know all the companies, so why don't I know HL company?

Thirdly.... Did you hear the news of your brother's death the day before you came here?

박여주

Thud)) Shit... No way.....

Clank-

이지훈

Hey Park Yeo-j... What are you crying about?

박여주

...You came alone?

이지훈

That's true... but they'll be here soon, why?

박여주

..where the hell am I? No.. why am I here?

이지훈

Huh? Well... I don't know...

박여주

...I thought you looked familiar from somewhere... You're the son of the chairman of JH Company, right..?

박여주

He died by suicide last year...

이지훈

Seriously)) I think there's some kind of misunderstanding. I'm not dead, I'm just trapped here.

박여주

Or am I dead too?

이지훈

Hey, stop talking nonsense. Or call me Ha Sungwoon?

박여주

No, that's okay

Clank-

widely-

As soon as the door opened, time stopped for everyone except Ji-hoon, Yeo-ju, and someone else.

박여주

...Welcome

옹성우

Why are you bothering me to come?

박여주

I think you would be honest with me...

박여주

Am I... dead?

옹성우

What? Where did you hear that?

박여주

...just answer

옹성우

Yes, you are dead

옹성우

That's why we brought you here

박여주

The people here...

옹성우

They are all dead ghosts

박여주

So... you don't know that everyone is dead?

옹성우

Yeah, everyone thinks Ha Sungwoon is human, he doesn't even know he's a grim reaper lol

박여주

The afterlife... the lion...?

옹성우

Yeah and if you fail I'll take you to hell

박여주

.......

박여주

What if... it succeeds?

옹성우

Well, let me start with this.

옹성우

The reason you're here is to give you a chance

옹성우

If you survive here without dying... you will go back to reality and survive.

박여주

What about these people if I live?

옹성우

These guys are just there to make you fail, you can save one person if you want

박여주

But why is there no ego...?

옹성우

When the ego arises, you know you're dead, but most people only have an ego and don't know they're dead.

박여주

If you know you're dead...

옹성우

They'll try to kill you, so the person they killed will be reincarnated.

박여주

ah....

옹성우

Those who know that I've stopped time now and that I'm dead will move when I gain self-awareness.

옹성우

You'll hear what we say too

박여주

...Is it just me now?

옹성우

No, there's one more

Drumroll-

황욱희

Hey, I bought you a drink.

박여주

....uh..?

황욱희

Hmm? Who is that guy? A friend?

옹성우

This is how you pretend not to know

황욱희

Hey, did you say everything?

옹성우

Oh, if you kill just one more person, you'll be reincarnated, right?

황욱희

Right, why?

옹성우

Kids who commit suicide like this have to kill 5 people to be reincarnated.

박여주

ah...

박여주

So, you have to kill me to live?

옹성우

Yeah, or if you kill the next kid, you'll be reincarnated.

박여주

Right, so what did Ha Sung-woon explain? That if I survive, everyone else can survive.

옹성우

It's all bullshit lol Since there are no successful kids, I made it up and told Ha Sungwoon

박여주

ah...

옹성우

This is why I say beware of those who have an ego, because they will kill you.

옹성우

And.. there are some kids who pretend not to know what we're saying and just stop.

옹성우

If you die to them, you too will lose your ego and be trapped here, or go to hell.

박여주

....okay

황욱희

But... didn't you tell me that you were the only one who could sleep? Then why did you collapse?

옹성우

Was there anyone around? Otherwise, you wouldn't have fallen...

박여주

no way....
