EPISODE 2.11
“Go back, to your seat.”
“Go back.”
“Go back.”
“Go back.”
“Don’t try to escape, Eunwoo Park. You have a job to do, don’t you?”
It was at this moment that he first realized that he had to accept Park Eun-woo’s life was his own.
He had to be the sub male protagonist of Flower of Trials, he had
to love Han Seo-ri, and in the end, he had to live a life that had a predetermined ending: he had to die after his organ transplant, by being weakened and sick.
In this fake world, Park Eun-woo’s life is so fake that any attempt to deviate it from the original, will immediately lead to sanctions.
Then Han Seo-ri comes along, and he has to try to win her love because that’s his role.
But he couldn’t love her. Han Seo Ri was just a woman, a heroine in a fake world, and Park Eun Woo never recognized the people in this fake world as people with feelings.
After the engagement ceremony, the drama begins in earnest.
Wearing the mask of Park Eun Woo, who is only kind to Han Seo
Ri, he quietly watched Cha Ye bin and Han Seo Ri meeting together and falling in love.
He was strongly convinced that he should see the fruit of their love as soon as possible so that he could return to reality.
So Park Eun Woo was determined to end this drama perfectly. He became a kind sub-leading man for Han Seo-ri, and she trusted and relied on him. The drama seemed to be going smoothly.
However, cracks began to appear in the drama.
Because of Cha Ye-ryun.
Because Cha didn’t act according to the drama.
Cha Ye-ryun, who was supposed to be cornering Han-seo by doing stupid evil things so that Park Eun-woo and Cha Ye-bin could play their specific role, didn’t do it so.
Han Seo Ri was starting to walk away from what she’s been given because she’s the main character in this world.
He was no longer able to do most of the things that a secondary male protagonist was supposed to do.
There was nothing for Cha Yebin or Park Eun-woo to do because common sense of this drama had been violated.
“Mr. Eunwoo, people are weird, they used to be nice people who told me it was okay……!”
He once glared at Han Seo-ri and told her to get lost, but she persistently followed him for two hours, saying the same line.
After that incident, the only thing Park could do was to soothe her as she cried and clung to him, hiding the irritation that was bubbling up inside.
So Park began to observe Cha. It was then that he began to see things that were invisible when he didn’t pay attention.
Cha was smarter than the original, more confident, and wouldn’t do anything that wasn’t right no matter what.
She was smarter and more confident than the original, and she didn’t do anything that wasn’t right, no matter what. She subtly gave Han Seo what she wanted but didn’t let her get carried away with a sense of victory, and she subtly backed her into a corner in a way that wasn’t too risky.
The undeserved love, affection, friendship, and trust that Han Seo Ri received in the original were things that could shine through Cha Ye-ryun’s misdeeds. But now, amid the trials that the heroine is supposed to face and rise from, only Cha Ye-ryun shines through.
It has stolen the light from her, allowing her contradictions to become shadows and grow larger.
The changes in Han Seo-ri have become more apparent to Park Eun-woo, the man who should have been her helper.
Now, the scope of his activities was reduced to merely listening to her complaints and soothing her heart. The things that naturally compelled him began to disappear one by one.
This change had become even more pronounced since he had begun to watch her.
A sweet imagination in his mind began to add to the weight of his conviction.
“I wonder if she’s like me.”
But he couldn’t be too sure.
Although she was living as Park Eun-woo in The Flower of Trials, Cha Ye-ryun’s behavior might have changed because she had become a variable instead of Park Eun-woo.
So he watched her more closely and for a longer period.
He found it interesting that she was actively shaping her destiny, and he wanted to enjoy watching her struggle a little more closely.
She secretly liked his face, so he took advantage of his good looks.
“Ms. Ye Ryun, please give me some time and I would like be with you.”
“Ugh, ugh.”
She smiled brightly and looked away, but not for long. She often couldn’t help but remind herself that Park Eunwoo must be a fake person.
As Cha Ye-ryun, she was perfect, but when he embarrassed her like this, her true self came out, and it was not the original Cha Ye-ryun. Bringing that out was his greatest triumph these days.
‘I’m just fine with a formal relationship with Mr. Park, nothing more, nothing less.’
Cha Ye-ryun casually said that in office.
‘You will know abou it anyway if I leave you alone but Isn’t it better to hear it from my mouth than to eavesdrop on your
parents?’
Cha Ye-ryun’s unintentional mistake at the restaurant.
She knew the lines Park Eun-woo was supposed to say, right up to the moment in the original drama when Han Seo-ri learned the secret of her birth. Yes, she knew. She exactly knew what the people in this fake world didn’t know.
She knew everything.
She was just like me.
The corner of his mouth turned up in a graceful curve, something she had hurriedly avoided to was being seen. He was perfectly certain now that she was one of his own kind.
“Ha, ha, ha…….”
Leaning against his car in the parking lot after leaving the restaurant, Park laughed out loud.
She was so different from him. Unlike himself, who was convinced that he had to keep the drama alive and let the story play out the way it was supposed to, she was preparing for when she could get back to reality.
