In a melodrama, it is said that when a villainess apologizes, it is for an evil deed, and when a heroine or someone around her apologizes, it is called a innocense.
I can’t imagine the heroine’s mother apologizing to Cha Ye-ryun
for slapping her with kimchi.
By the way, I set fire to the house of the girl you like, and normally you’d be worried and go visit her, But instead Park Eun-woo, was flirting with me here.
You definitely deserve to be a sub.
Unable to get the words out of my mouth, I just awkwardly looked away and sipped my coffee sideways. I was so uncomfortable.
It seems like every time Park Eun-woo does something unexpected like this, her lifespan decreases, but the drama is still going well since she hasn’t seen anything out of the ordinary yet, right?
Even if Park Eun-woo’s attitude towards Cha Ye-ryun has changed a bit or a lot. Park Eun Woo is still Han Seo Ri’s trusted henchman……, not just her friend and ally.
“Ms. Ye-ryun, drink slowly, Or else you will get sick from drinking coffee.”
No, I’ll get sick because of you. Please don’t laugh like that in front of me. My heart is racing and I’m dying.
I eventually couldn’t stand his flowery smile and looked out the window, avoiding eye contact. Every once in a while, whenever I looked at him, Park Eunwoo smiled like the sun. I had to look away again, feeling a blow to my heart.
So I didn’t know. His face turned expressionless like a lie as soon as I turned my head away. Nor his gaze, which sank into my every move.
I couldn’t see him anymore now.

“Deputy, the documents regarding the minutes of the meeting is not present here, get it now.”
“Ah……, Miss Director. Organizing the results of the meeting is Miss Han Seo-ri’s job, but…….”
“Where is she right now?”
“Right now, the deputy is out of the office, so…… I couldn’t organize the files for you, as she turned off her personal laptop and left, and I can’t unlock it, so it will be a little late, sorry.”
“Where’s the other deputy, and why was she working on company business on her personal laptop?”
“Well, I don’t know, she got a call out of the blue and ran off, it seemed like it was urgent…….”
I stared frostily at the deputy, who stood in front of me, her voice was crawling with embarrassment.
Why do I have to work so hard, and why can’t I get fired from my job and the drama is going so well, while the heroine of this show just walks around the office leisurely?
As I was cursing the flower of my trials, the representative, who met my sullen expression head-on, was now slumping his shoulders.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I was thinking of something else. I need you to come with me right now.”
“Yes……? Are you going to have another meeting?”
“Uh, no. I’m going to make them work overtime.”
I can guess why the Han Seo Ri suddenly left.
After slapping my cheek with kimchi, Han Seo Ri’s adoptive mother might have texted or called her to tell her that she disapproves of Cha Ye bin’s marriage.
She probably freaked out and rushed home, because it’s an important work, and her marriage to Cha is the most important thing in the world right now.
Oh, she’s crazy.
Everything else is fine. This world is just like real life, except for the drama. So I have to do my job perfectly in this company. That’s Cha Ye-ryun’s job.
Han Seo-ri, the lead character, has no consequences for taking unauthorized absences or going out of the company like this if it’s related to the drama, but someone is probably working double time to take over the work she left behind. It’s an unfair world.
Now that she’s going to be busy for a while, I won’t be able to do much, but it’s a great opportunity to harass her effectively.
Let’s make her do some overtime and spice up her hellish corporate life.
I headed to Marketing team, where Han seo ri works, with the deputy in tow.
“Oh, Mr. Director, you must have been very surprised earlier, are you okay?”
As soon as I arrived at Marketing team, Mr. Choi came running up to me while panting. He looked at me nervously, as if he thought I was upset about what happened earlier.
“Ms. Han seo ri. Where is she right now?”
“Ms. Han is out of the office right now!”
“If she’s out, what business is she out for?”
“Oh, I don’t know about that…….”
“Mr. Choi. Is your teammate out of the office right now on personal business?”
“That is…….”
“Today’s meeting report is supposed to be in charge of Ms. Han, but it hasn’t been posted on my desk, and I can’t get it right away. Am I supposed to wait for Han’s personal business to complete while I do my job?”
“No madam, I’ll get in touch with her right away!”
Mr. Choi rushed back to his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed a call to Han Seo-ri.
The other team members looked back and forth between Mr. Choi and me, shivering as if they felt a chill in my frosty voice.
“Mr. Lee? The project on which Miss Han Seo-ri was working on. Is there any progress?”
“Oh, it’s still in the preparation stage.”
“How long has it been since Ms. Han Seo-ri is working on it?”
“Uh, a month.”
Lee stammered as if he couldn’t believe in his answer. The office began to chatter.
It was unusual for a person to work on a project for more than a month unless it was a big project.
We were all competent people who could juggle a few tasks a week, except for her.
I mean, who has time to handle company business when there’s a new drama in her life every day, whether it’s family, blood Relative, or romance?
No one can do that in real life, and Han Seo-ri is incompetent,
so she must have done a pretty good job.
“Bring her here right now. She’s not taking legitimate vacations, half days, or days off, and it’s only hurting everyone. How long are you all going to take turns covering for Ms. Han seo ri?”
“Yes!”
I leaned back on my chair at the office table.
This is how I bully her.
The things she does in the drama are acceptable, but how ridiculous they are in real life.
The villains in dramas commit illegal and inhumane acts to the point where you wonder if they have to, and they end up doing worse to avoid being found out.
And the heroine who reveals it causes them to self-destruct.
But is that the way to harass and sabotage the heroine? Absolutely not!
I have my own ways. No matter how well I follow the original story, I may not be able to return to my world. Self-destruct myself and rot in a cell for the rest of my life? No thanks.
In the end, all I have to do is work hard on the sidelines, harassing Han Seo-ri in a way that is not illegal, and create an ending where she ends up marrying Cha Yebin.
The way to harass Han Seo-ri is simple.
Inject some reality into this soap opera.
In a scene where people watching the drama think, “Wow, that doesn’t make sense……,” let the characters in the other world realize how ridiculous it is.
That’s what’s happening now.
Because of the drama’s development and because the male lead needs to be active, Han Seo-ri is a very incompetent character who is always running around and being swayed by situations and not doing anything well on her own.
