Surviving as a Villainess
#13 Shadow


The next morning



이진우
good morning-


여우림
ah,


여우림
Oh, uh...-

Last night, I couldn't even breathe a wink as I scribbled down the additional story in my notebook.



이진우
Why are we all dying?


여우림
Oh, what... lol

The only hint I had on how to return to my original world, possessed by the novel, was a note I received from the novel's broker.

Plus, yesterday, a significant novel was suddenly added. I'm at a loss as to how to respond. It's absurd to think that I couldn't sleep over a mere addition.



여우림
… Really, I don’t know either; (mumbles)

As more and more content is added, it is said that we can glimpse the future in the novel, but the limitation of not knowing when the event will occur made me more anxious.

What can I gain from the pages of notes I received from Kim Seok-jin?

Is the only way for me to finish this novel is to follow the content of the novel as it is, or should I use the content of the new pages to correct the illusions in the contradictory reality of the existing novel and this world (novel) that I currently in?

I was at a crossroads.






…



박지민
Hey, are you coming now?


김태형
hi


김여주
I almost rang the bell in a minute~ haha


김태형
Why, did you expect me to be late? LOL


김여주
Hehe, that's not it~


김태형
lol


김태형
But what about Jeon Jungkook?


김태형
Why isn't he here?


박지민
I don't know, there's a Jeon Jungkook gym bag on the desk


박지민
Where did he go...


김여주
I know..?

…

Ding dong dang dong..-

Even when the bell rang to announce the start of the school day, Jeong-guk did not enter the classroom.




등장인물
Student 1 | Hey, it's gym day today~


이진우
Nice, it's so hot today


이진우
That's good, right?


여우림
…uh?

…gym?

Just sleep,

If it's a gym...

Aren't we getting closer to the new page content?

Kim Yeo-ju being locked in a meat warehouse, isn't that the part that's missing?


여우림
… Oh, shit

We haven't even come up with a solution yet, so can we just keep going with the story?

Can this be avoided?;

No, can't it be avoided..?

At that moment, my head flashed.

It's just a one-time trick or a bit of a gamble...

At this rate, I can buy myself some time to figure out my direction.

…



여우림
ouch


이진우
?


여우림
I don't feel well today.


이진우
huh?


이진우
suddenly?


여우림
Oh, it hurts.


이진우
Where are you going?


이진우
Are you in a lot of pain?


여우림
Oh, so I guess I should go to the infirmary.


여우림
Tell the teacher, okay?


이진우
..uh?


여우림
Got it?


이진우
Uh, uh..;;

So I left the rest of the work to Jinwoo and headed to the infirmary.

To be exact, the place of refuge he ran to was not the infirmary, but the rooftop.

…


여우림
under.-

It's a good thing the rooftop door is open;

I finally reached the rooftop, catching my breath, and was able to lower my tense shoulders.

however

…bussuk.-


여우림
?

I felt someone else's presence on the rooftop and looked around.

And then, just then, my eyes met with someone.

he is…


여우림
…Why are you here?


전정국
…

The person I ran into on the rooftop was none other than Jeon Jungkook.


전정국
…then you;

Jeongguk, who met my eyes, was busy awkwardly rolling his eyes here and there as if he was embarrassed.



여우림
I, what…


여우림
Just, let's call it a ding-dong...


여우림
Just, let's call it a ding-dong... .


전정국
…what?

Jungkook looked at me with a dumbfounded face at the word "Ddaeng-Ddaeng" that came out of my mouth.

It was as if he had blurted out the unspoken words, “You?”



여우림
…why,


여우림
…Why, can’t it be done?


전정국
No, well... that's not it


전정국
(mumbles) It's an unanswered action


여우림
…

Oops,

Sometimes I forget that I am a fox.



여우림
however,


여우림
Why are you here


여우림
Aren't you going to class?


전정국
…


전정국
… I’m also a dang-dang


여우림
?

Behind Jeongguk's subtle answer, a green cast came into view below his knee.


여우림
What, are you hurt?


전정국
…

Jeongguk didn't bother to answer.



여우림
Somehow, it happened (thud)

I naturally sat down next to Jeongguk and asked him.


전정국
…;

Jungkook seemed awkward with me like that.



여우림
Well, if you don't want to say it, then say it


전정국
I slipped on the track during the competition yesterday.


여우림
…ah


여우림
Are you okay?

Didn't you say you were taking the physical education college entrance exam?



전정국
…


전정국
It will get better, I guess.


전정국
I can't stand on the track anymore, but


여우림
…

Oh, this

Did I ask for nothing…?



여우림
Ah, uh...what!


여우림
Just do something else, there's so much to do in the world! (Haha)

I was the one who said anything, even though I was just trying to learn.


전정국
…


여우림
…ah


여우림
… isn’t it?

He avoided Jeongguk's eyes and just smiled awkwardly.


전정국
…lol


전정국
I've only done track and field for 10 years. What can I do next?


전정국
The only thing that was useful was this body.


여우림
…


여우림
Ah, you can't run?


전정국
No, I can't do track and field anymore.


여우림
ah..


전정국
…

Jeongguk's eyes looked bitter, but his face was somehow carefree.


여우림
Hey, then..!


여우림
You be a police officer, police


전정국
…what?


여우림
No, why, when I was mistaken for the note culprit, you were the one who solved it!


여우림
So... wouldn't it be good if I were a police officer... haha;

Even I don't know what I'm talking about.

I'm weak when it comes to comfort...



전정국
…


전정국
… (snickers)


전정국
It's been a really long time since I've heard that (mumble)


여우림
huh?


전정국
When I was 10, it was the same back then.


여우림
Me...me?

Dismissal.-


여우림
Ugh

Again,

Once again, memories of the fox forest consumed me.

…

7 years ago,

“Police victory!”



박지민
Oh, what is it..- (10 years old)


박지민
It's not fun, if Jeon Jungkook becomes a police officer, he wins everything..-


김태형
So...—


전정국
You guys can't do it


박지민
Huh.


여우림
lol


여우림
But Jimin has a talent for thieving.


여우림
The last of us to be caught


박지민
..I see hehe (simple)


김태형
Park Jim's father is the chief of police, but his son has a talent for thieving.


김태형
It's fun? Haha


박지민
Oh, really;


박지민
I'm not going to be a police officer like my dad...—


여우림
then?


박지민
I don't know, the police won't do anything anyway


김태형
I'm going to take over my father's business. Wouldn't that be easier?


김태형
Jeon Jungkook, wouldn't you be like that too?


전정국
Yeah, that's right

Jungkook is the youngest son born into a family where his father is a former national track and field athlete who holds world records and his mother is a national actress.

So, from a young age, he thought that he should follow in his father's footsteps and become a track and field athlete.

However, Jeong-guk is confused because things don't go as planned.



여우림
I think Jungkook would do well as a police officer.


전정국
..?


여우림
We found the culprit behind Kim Taehyung's missing eraser yesterday!


박지민
Oh, I see


박지민
Hey, you're the police for me


전정국
..what

As he said that, Jeongguk was moved by Woorim's words.

But that's it

When I thought about my situation, I had a vague idea of the wall that was coming even at that young age.

Father's opposition

That it would hold you back






백하영
The babies are playing cutely..

In Yeorim's memories, I am a third party.

I see them, but they don't see me.

백하영
… Like today, memories of the fox forest will suddenly pull me into this world.

백하영
The more information I have, the more beneficial it will be to me.

백하영
I have to go back to the real world I used to live in anyway.

…

…uh?

At that moment, I began to see a dark shadow far away between the fox forest and my friends.


It was the shadow of a little girl.

백하영
What, who are you?

I squinted to get a closer look at the shadow.

But then

Dismissal.-

The door to memory closed with a sound.

Back to the present moment



여우림
Oh my,

I'm back again

To the fox forest

..this

What do you mean you'll come back at such a crucial time?



전정국
?


전정국
Are you okay?

Jungkook asked me with a worried face.


여우림
Oh, uh..


여우림
I have a bit of a migraine

I now blurt out lies without a second thought.



전정국
Can I skip going to the infirmary?


여우림
Yeah, it's okay


전정국
Well then, what...


여우림
lol

I smiled brightly again.


전정국
…

Jungkook looked at me like that and quickly turned his head away.


여우림
…lol;

This kid, does he still hate me?

Well, I'm still under the impression that I've been harassing Kim Yeo-ju in the past.



전정국
Hey, Yeo-rim

At that moment, Jeongguk turned his head and opened his mouth.


여우림
?


전정국
I really don't know what you're thinking.


여우림
huh?


전정국
Is the fox forest I am seeing now a real fox forest?


전정국
Or, is the previous bad fox forest the real fox forest?


여우림
…

What a bad fox...; haha



여우림
How do I look to you?


전정국
…


전정국
…I don't know


전정국
First of all, it doesn't seem like a bad fox forest right now.


여우림
lol


여우림
Yeah, it's not like it's a bad fox forest.

That doesn't mean I'm a real fox though



전정국
Now, will you stop harassing Kim Yeo-ju?


여우림
Well, was there anything I could do about it? (mumbles)


전정국
..what?


여우림
You have to do something to stop it, right?

I gave Jungkook a subtle hint about the misunderstanding.

I don't know if he'll take it well, but

I hope this will be an opportunity to think again.



전정국
…?


여우림
Okay, let's go now


여우림
It's almost time to end


여우림
You have to skip class to some extent, right?


전정국
okay,,
