Episode 4.7
Feeling my heart sink once again, I covered my face with my palm against the unbearable glare.
“Oh well, that was the way it is, I have some work with my staff, I’ll be off!”
I stood up in a hurry and stormed out the office door, I could
hear Park Eunwoo’s laughter behind me, but I ignored it.
As an actress who has made a living acting in the entertainment industry, I have seen many male celebrities. But Park Eun-woo was better than most. I couldn’t figure out what he was doing.
‘What is he doing? An actor? A model? If that was the case, I shouldn’t know…….’
I thought I had developed enough immunity to handsome and successful people, but not anymore. I thought I was immune enough to good-looking people, but not that much.
It felt weird to think of them as real people like me. I realized what it was like to deal with someone like me.
How did I treat other people before he was here?
“Hah…….”
My hectic pace slowly slowed down. And I stood still in place.
My heart, which had been beating so fast and hard just a moment ago because of Park Eunwoo, slowly subsided. I could feel the employees of the algebra group staring at me.
I stared blankly at their faces and sighed deeply.
I couldn’t remember.
How I had treated others before? How I used to be when I wasn’t in my senses?

Eun-woo laughed at Ye-ryeon, who couldn’t hide her shaking pupils and eventually ran away.
He laughed until his stomach was in knots, and then his laughter gradually stopped.
He clenched and unclenched his outstretched hand, then released it, then repeated. Eunuch’s face sank to an expressionless mask.
I could feel the hem of her dress, but I couldn’t grab it. I didn’t like the feeling of her slipping out of my grasp.
“Face, I thought you liked my face.”
He sat down at his office desk and looked into the mirror. His expressionless, sculpted face was reflected in the mirror.
Eunwoo tugged at the corners of his mouth and tried to smile. After staring at his face for a long time, he touched the corner of his mouth with his finger.
Immediately, the expression vanished from his face.
“This isn’t right.”
He grinned, his eyes widening. The corners of his eyes crinkled, and a soft smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. Finally, the face he wanted.
Ye Ryun was weak to Eun Woo’s face, he knew that.
That was why the first time he’d tried to observe her, he’d approached her warily, brandishing his face as a weapon. When he approached her with an unexpected smile, he realized that she was even more vulnerable to his face than he’d thought-that is, to beauty.
When he smiled so brightly at her, she would avert her gaze, as if she couldn’t take it anymore, and it was always refreshing to see a version of her that wasn’t him.
For the first time in his life, he could feel a sense of satisfaction with his appearance, which he had only thought of, was annoying.
Now, in front of her, he didn’t even have to think about it to smile. Without even realizing it.
“I was not feeling so great today.”
He looked and looked and looked at himself in the mirror. He pulled his bangs down, then swept them up. He tugged at the corners of his mouth, then pulled them down.
He tried his best to look presentable, but he regretted that she had fled in a huff.
Those few moments with her had become his only respite.
It was peaceful, and he felt like he could breathe.
And he was glad that her presence was proof that he wasn’t completely insane yet.
When she was in the role of Cha Ye-ryun, she was always confident and charismatic. The way she pushes herself and believes in what she’s doing is a far cry from the original character.
Unlike the original character, she was very methodical and smart in the way she bullied Han Seo-ri.
She does what’s necessary for the story, but she subtly avoids going to extremes and making things work against her. The ability to walk the line between misbehavior and interference
was really good.
The things that were obstructive but not evil were blocking Park Eun-woo and Cha Ye-bin from actively stepping up for Han Seo-ri, and he gradually gained more and more freedom from Han Seo-ri.
It was all thanks to Cha Ye-ryun.
As Han Seo-ri’s anger and frustration had nowhere to go and she missed out on her moments to shine as a leading lady, she was left with a groupie who was an inconvenience to many people.
The heroine of “Flower of Trials” could only shine if she stood up to Cha Ye-ryeon’s evil deeds.
Maybe that was why Cha Ye-ryeon looks more radiant in Park Eun-woo’s eyes.
She’s more brilliant and alive than Han Seo-ri, more like a heroine than the real heroine.
The thought that only I know what Cha Ye-ryeon will look like when her role is stripped away makes him bittersweet.
It hadn’t been long since she left, but he was already thirsty. He
could find himself falling for her in an instant. As intensely as if a like he had a burst.
He hadn’t realized that all his attention would be on her.
“Cha, Cha, Cha Ye Ryun.”
Just saying her name was enough to quench his thirst.
At first, I was intrigued by her different behavior from the original and wanted to see her up close.
But then I grew to love being around her. It was only when I was next to her that I could not feel the presence of the Flower of Trials.
Here, she was proof that he wasn’t crazy, and she was the only one who could remind him of the reality that was gradually blurring in his mind.
Eunwoo checked himself in the mirror once more.
“Hmm…….”
I’ll take what I can get.
