It had been a week since she had woken up, a week since she had lost her memory.
And a week since she was trapped in the Gapyeong villa.
The residual wounds on her body and her legs had healed a long time ago.
Tae In felt horribly restless. Moreover, perhaps due to their busy schedules, the frequency of visits from Nok Hyun, Lee Kyung, and Eun Seok had decreased.
“They’re leaving me here all alone, aren’t they?”
Tae In grumbled while lying on the sofa, watching a drama.
The drama featured a secondgeneration chaebol female protagonist battling through trials and tribulations. Lee Kyung recommended it, saying that Tae In’s situation was similar. The title was “Queen’s Return”.
As Lee Kyung had said, the female lead’s situation was indeed similar to Tae In’s, and even the family dynamics and overall storyline matched.
That’s why Tae In could immerse herself in it, as if she had somehow become the character, Hae Soo.
“Don’t kill our Hae Soo!”
Despite Tae In’s outcry, Hae Soo was killed in the end.
Even though she had seen the scene twice already, it was still painful, and she teared up.
No matter how low the viewership ratings were, killing off the female lead like that, Tae In wanted to protest to the broadcasting station and the staff over the phone.
If only she had a cell phone.
Having watched the drama until the end, Tae In started episode seven.
The female lead, who had recovered her memory, went to a chicken shop before taking revenge on her family.
The chicken’s appearance, unrelated to the plot and likely due to product placement, was Tae In’s favorite scene.
Watching the scene intently, Tae In got up.
“I can’t stand it anymore.”
She thoroughly searched under the sofa and the bed and found twenty thousand won in cash.
She had a card for emergencies, but she couldn’t use it. Her goal for the day was to go out in secret.
“This is Gapyeong, and I’m already considered dead, so no one will follow me and the chances of meeting someone I know are low!”
Tae In rationalized her situation and tried to disguise herself.
She put on the hat that Lee Kyung had left and the clothes that Lee Kyung had brought for her to wear.
“Were these picked up from a clothing donation box?”
The design and material were not great, but it didn’t matter as they were just for disguise.
She thought it would be entirely pleasant to go outside, but the weather was a pain.
The heat that had begun after the rainy season had ended was so intense that Tae In was panting for breath.
Perhaps she didn’t have any muscles on her thin body, because her legs started hurting even though she hadn’t walked very far.
Tae In took a leaflet out of her pocket and unfolded it.
It was for Ye Seul Chicken. It was the chicken that Lee Kyung had bought last time. The inside was surprisingly moist, unlike the crispy exterior, and it was so delicious that it came into her dreams.
She couldn’t remember, but it was the best chicken Tae In had ever eaten.
However, looking at the map on the back of the leaflet, it was not an easy task to find the chicken shop. Having no other choice, she asked a high school student who had gotten off the village bus for directions.
“You just walk straight down this way, then turn right.”
“Thank you.”
Just a little more patience, and she would be able to eat chicken.
Thinking of the crispy and moist chicken gave her strength.
When Tae In had walked about one bus stop distance, she finally saw the entrance to the market.
Entering the market, Tae In’s eyes widened. It was similar to the market that appeared in Episode 4 of “The Queen’s Return.”
The female protagonist who was being chased by villains had disguised herself in this place, buying floral trousers and a sun cap.
Just in time, Tae In found a clothing store. Coollooking floral trousers caught her eye.
“Are the trousers only 5,000 won?”
Tae In asked the store owner, her eyes wide in surprise.
“The set is even cheaper.”
Top, bottom, sun cap together were only 10,000 won. She had to buy this.
When Tae In crumpled out a 10,000 won bill to pay, the owner gave her a pink wristband in a black bag as a service.
Tae In was touched by his generosity.
Tae In took off her hat, put it in the bag, and put on the sun cap and wristband.
She felt somewhat more powerful and confident.
With this confident mindset, Tae In, who found the chicken shop, her original goal, was greatly disappointed.
The leaflet said 10,000 won, but it had risen to 11,000 won.
The grandmother, who looked scary and hard to approach, sent an impatient look as if to quickly decide whether to buy or not.
“….Grandmother, I came from far away, can’t you cut 1,000 won off?”
“Where are you from.”
Tae In froze at the scary tone as scary as her face, but she couldn’t just go back like this.
“Se, Seoul.”
“Seoul?”
The owner’s forehead wrinkled.
She seemed to believe that Tae In was lying.
Tae In looked at her clothes.
It was the moment when she understood the owner’s gaze.
“Owner, can’t you take one wing off and give it to me for 10,000 won?”
“Nope, I can’t.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
