An individual more dangerous than Rodrigo that must be eliminated, and that person is me?
“Dispose of Baekho, and if you can, take care of Cecilia Erijo as well.”
Nonsense! I’m someone whose dream is to survive with this single life! Why am I more of a threat than Rodrigo?
As I was bouncing around inside with feelings of injustice, suddenly, I had a thought that maybe that’s why Idrish didn’t kill me either. Perhaps I’m an important person, though I don’t know why?
But then again, there has never been a hedgehog Suiin in the novel.
“Start the plan tomorrow. We need to lure them into the forest.”
With those words, Ozar handed over something wrapped in black cloth.
“Yes.”
I waited until the sound completely disappeared, then I slowly emerged from the garbage heap.
My whole body smelled of garbage, but that didn’t matter.

“Ha, so for some unknown reason, the Serbian family wants to kill me too? They’re going to kill me and Rodrigo now?”
Ha, a defeated and hopeless sigh escaped me.
I had already escaped, so it wasn’t a big problem. Ozar didn’t recognize my face just a little while ago.
I was thinking of crossing the sea to another country by train.
But Rodrigo dies helplessly.
I kicked a harmless rolling stone on the ground. I was distressed.
I kept hearing Rodrigo’s voice in my ears. With each step, my steps became heavier and heavier.
“No. I must leave anyway.”
What can a little hedgehog like me do? Saving Rodrigo, or stopping the villain’s misdeeds, I don’t have confidence.
It’s Rodrigo’s destiny, destiny…….

Deep in my heart, it was prickling. Every time Rodrigo’s innocent face came to mind, I tightly closed my eyes. I tried hard not to think about that face, reminding myself that he was just a supporting character in a novel.
I spent a restless night like that.
Somehow I didn’t run into Idrish again, and the train time was fast approaching.
I held the train ticket tightly in my hand and moved my heavy steps.
I will leave as originally planned. Let’s not think of anything else…….
I hid in a small alley in front of the train station and watched the situation.
There were as many people as yesterday.
‘But Idrish should be easy to spot. There’s no way his bulk can be hidden.’
But somehow, that big man was nowhere to be seen.
Wooong.

The horn sounded 5 minutes before the train’s departure. I checked that the pocket was well inside my clothes and pulled my hat down tight.
Just run faster than anyone else. I just have to get on the train before anyone sees me.
Forget what happened here. Idrish, and……. Rodrigo.
My heart thumped.
One, two, three! Run!
……Or so I thought, but somehow my body didn’t move. I turned my heavy body around.
There was a huge black figure on the other side of the alleyway. And that black figure was slowly approaching this way.
Damn, it’s Idrish!
Idrish, wearing a black hood and cloak, looked even bigger than his original size. At a glance, he looked like a bear. He walked silently, thumping along. Just that emitted an enormous sense of oppression. It was as if a giant darkness was coming alive.
I should run away, I know that, but somehow I couldn’t move an inch. Before I knew it, Idrish, who had become close like a giant wall, lightly grabbed my neck.

(This is a time separator.)
“Bound with a rope, bound with a rope.”
I hummed an unidentified rising song. Of course, Idrish glared at me with strange eyes, but what can he do about it? From a position where I’m already caught, should I be looking at your mood!
“Is this a kidnapping?”
“Are you going to report it?”
“There’s nothing I can’t do.”
Idrish’s lips twisted into a smirk.
“Try it. Run if you can.”
With those words, Idrish tightly tied the rope around my body.
Then he dragged me into an unfamiliar building.
“Aaah!”

I was lightly thrown onto a bed. It was an old lodging facility with an old bed and a bathroom attached. Idrish locked the wooden door.
“Why are you dragging me to a place like this? Geez.”
There was no reply. Isn’t this wrong?
“Excuse me? So why are you kidnapping me?”
“Still acting? Nightshade.”
“What on earth is Nightshade. I just ran away because I was scared of that huge thing chasing me.”
“It’s late today, so let’s sleep here and go back tomorrow.”
With that, Idrish lay down on the bed, propped his head on his arm, and closed his eyes.
Oh, ignoring me completely? Fine. I didn’t think these mere words of excuse would work anyway.
“Really uncommunicative, aren’t you…….”

I said, quickly scanning the surroundings. This place is on the second floor. There was a window facing the street. It would be difficult with my hands tied like this, but it seemed like I could escape through the window if I could untie them.
“Hey, I’m actually very neat. I can’t sleep if I don’t wash, what do I do? Of course, you probably don’t believe me looking like a bum right now, but that’s all because you chased me. By the way, I even bought a new hat because of you? You have to ask me later.”
Idrish slightly opened his eyes and glanced at me.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
