EPISODE 01
PART 5
“That’s all for today, and I trust you’ll be more thorough in the future now that this has happened.”
“Yes Madam, Thank you! Thank you!”
I walked out of the security room to the profuse apologies of the security team. I wouldn’t be an idiot to discipline them since I had declared that I would move on.
“Miss. Ye Ryun.”
As I rushed to get back to work with a clear mind, I heard a pleasant bass voice behind me.
“Ah, Mr. Park Eunwoo?”
“Please call me Mr. Eunwoo. I’m your fiancé, aren’t I? You’re too cold to your fiancé, Miss. Ye Ryun..”
Oh, what’s wrong with him? Is he okay?
I could feel my stress-induced chronic gastritis clawing at my stomach again.
I narrowed my eyes and looked up at the tall man who was standing in front of me, smiling softly with a clear, handsome face. I was talking to Park Eun-woo, the dramas second leading man.
A character who Han Seo-ri didn’t directly tell to donate his organs, but who ultimately ends up getting robbed and killed for the love of the heroine. He shows Han-seo-ri an unbelievably devoted love.
He was popular with viewers because he was so tender with Han Seo-ri and cold to other women. The actor who played the role
of Park Eun-woo was said to have been approached by every advertising company.
Park Eun-woo is more handsome, colorful, and athletic than that actor, and if the remake were to cast an actor with the same looks, there would be a lot of demands to replace him.
The character of Cha Ye-bin is a bit too bland for a male lead, and hence Park Eun-woo was much more popular.
“By the way, what brought Mr. Park Eun Woo here?”
“I heard that something happened to you today, so I ran over because I was worried. Ar you hurt anywhere?”
“Ah……, yes. Thank you for your concern. I’m not hurt, so Mr. Park, please go back.”
“I came all the way here and I just want to have a coffee with you, don’t you have time for your fiancé?”
“……Yes, sure.”
The drama’s story is going smoothly, but what’s wrong with Park Eun Woo?
I’ve been doing a great job playing the role of Cha Ye-ryeon in
this drama, so what have I done wrong?
What the hell is wrong with Park Eun Woo?
“I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been alone with Ms. Ye-ryun, so let’s go.”
Why is he shooting that sunshine-like smile at me that he only shows to Han Seo-ri?
“Oh, yeah…….”
Walking ahead with an air of excitement, Park Eunwoo showed off his beautiful face making the women passing by look back and take a double look.
But I quietly followed behind him, thinking seriously.
What’s wrong with this guy?
Park Eun Woo is a cold-hearted man who hasn’t paid attention to other women since he fell in love with Han Seo Ri at first sight.
Even his fiancée, Cha Ye-ryun, is only a formality. This makes him even more hostile towards her.
In other words, Park Eun-woo is not the kind of person who
flashes Cha Ye-ryun this kind of flowery smile and says, “You can’t do this! Come and spend time with me.”
I struggled to keep an expressionless face and fiercely dueled with the part of me that wanted to rip my hair out.
In Flower of Trials, the only variable that can change the plot or characters is me, the one who entered this drama world. The way Park Eun Woo has changed is that my actions have affected his attitude towards Cha Ye Ryun.
I didn’t know what that was, so I muttered the familiar words to myself again.
“This is crazy.”
* * *
“What are you doing here on your day off, Ye Ryun? We’re engaged to be married, and we haven’t even had a normal date. We…….”
“I’ve been busy lately, so I can’t take a day off.”
“Oh, then why don’t you buy me some late-night snacks when I’m working…….”
“I work from home at night.”
“Then what if I pay a visit to Mr. Ye Lian’s mansion…….”
“My father doesn’t like overnight guests.”
I wanted to end this meaningless conversation.
However, Park Eun-woo smiled at my nervousness and continued the conversation.
The combination of me cutting off his every word with an expressionless face and Park smiling and being gentle with me
has become a common sight in the company cafe.
Park Eun-woo tried to act like my fiancé whenever he could.
When Han Seo-ri was busy being manipulated by Cha Ye-ryun’s evil deeds, Cha Ye-bin was also manipulated and enraged along with her, and Park Eun-woo always ends the role with a decisive breakthrough at the last minute.
So whenever Cha Ye-ryun and Park Eun-woo had a break, he would come to visit her and act like he wanted to befriend her.
In the original, Park Eun Woo must have had some ill will towards Cha Ye Ryun, as they were like water and oil, and she bullied Han Seo Ri.
Why did he change like this? Is it to spy on me, or to get close to me so I can stop bullying Han Seo Ri?
“Mr. Park, I’m really curious about this…….”
“Eunwoo.”
“You’re.. Excuse me?”
“Eunwoo, if you call me Eunwoo, I’ll answer everything you want to know.”
Crazy. That just made my heart hurt a little. What girl wouldn’t be thrilled to have a beautiful pair of eyes bend like half moons as he stares at me with that glare? I know it’s fake, but that was a little hard.
Let’s get it together. He’s not a real person! Get a grip on yourself!
“That’s… Okay. Mr. Eunwoo.”
“Yes, Miss. Ryun.”
“Can Mr. Eunwoo not go to visit Miss. Han Seo Ri?”
“To Miss. Seo-ri? Why?”
“What do you mean by why? Today, Han Seo-ri’s mother came to me and created a huge mess…”
“That’s between Ms. Seo Ri’s mother and you. She is the one who has to apologize to Miss. Ryun, is it something that concerns me and my visit to Miss Seo ri?”
