That’s when it happened.

“Ah!”

Seong Jichan suddenly frowned.

“What’s going on? Why are you suddenly pretending to be in pain?”

“It’s not pretending. Ah, just wait a moment.”

Touching his forehead as if feeling dizzy, Seong Jichan staggered and retched.

And then, thud.

He collapsed on the ground.

“Huh.”

What’s this? Does it make sense?

How can he faint like this?

“He didn’t die, right?”

I cautiously approached the fallen Seong Jichan and touched my fingers under his nose. Fortunately, he seemed to be breathing.

“Now what?”

Should I call 119 (emergency services)?

Seeing someone collapse in front of me for the first time, I was bewildered. Is it serious? He’s the male lead; he shouldn’t die, right? No, but why did he collapse? Shouldn’t the male lead be invincible?

I shouted in confusion.

“System! System!”

[Did you call me? ㅇ_ㅇ]

“Why did he suddenly collapse? Is he okay?”
As if contemplating, the system, silent for a moment, brought up the dialogue again.

[It’s still okay!]

What’s with that ‘still’?

Even though it was a positive statement, it felt very ominous.

Nevertheless, it was much better than hearing a response that things had gone completely wrong. I sighed with relief.

‘Anyway, it means nothing is happening right now.’

Briefly glancing at Seong Jichan with concern, I soon made up my mind.

‘It can’t be helped that it turned out like this.’

I’m sorry, Iljin-jjang!

This is all for your sake!

‘Just endure a little.’

I grabbed the collapsed Seong Jichan and dragged him. Then, I put him on the trash bag next to the utility pole.

Having completed all preparations, I dusted off my hands.

‘Alright, perfect.’

Now, do I just wait for Seol Yuhwa to arrive?

‘Let’s wait for another 5 minutes, and if she doesn’t come, report to 119 just in case.’

I shouldn’t stay too close, as it might arouse suspicion. I found a hiding spot and kept a watchful eye from a distance.

And after a while…

Finally, Seol Yuhwa appeared.

‘She’s here!’

I held my breath, waiting for the next development.

As expected, Seol Yuhwa stopped in front of the collapsed Seong Jichan.

She seemed to have just returned from school, dressed in a school uniform. In other words, in Seol Yubin’s attire.

Bomb-like hairstyle, round glasses, long skirt.

If I didn’t know Seol Yuhwa, I would have naturally thought she was Seol Yubin.

Standing still, Seol Yuhwa gazed intently at Seong Jichan for a moment. I couldn’t see her expression because her face was covered by glasses.

‘Is everything going well?’

I anxiously observed Seol Yuhwa.

Finally, as if the observation had ended, Seol Yuhwa moved. Placing the umbrella next to her, she squatted down in front of Seong Jichan.

And…

Huh?

‘…Is she going to lift him like that?’

Seol Yuhwa picked up Seong Jichan as if hugging a princess.

‘Is this right…’

I thought she would drag or support him, but I didn’t expect her to lift him so effortlessly.

Although it seemed like a reversal of roles between a man and a woman… Well, it’s the 21st century. There might be things that don’t work the way they used to. It could happen. Let’s break free from fixed ideas.

Holding Seong Jichan, Seol Yuhwa took a step at a time.

I watched as Seol Yuhwa walked them to her house.

After a while, their figures completely disappeared. I finally felt relieved.

Only Seol Yuhwa’s umbrella remained, left alone on the street.

‘Phew, it’s done.’

It may seem like a mess, but… Anyway, I successfully recreated a scene from the original work.

‘At least I accomplished something today!’

Feeling good about completing the mission to safely connect the heroine and hero, I returned home.

I’m a bit worried about Seong Jichan… But he should be fine since he met Seol Yuhwa, right?

‘Now, I should take a shower.’

Having caused chaos with Seong Jichan and getting soaked in the rain without using an umbrella, I showered quickly, dried my hair, and lay down on the bed feeling refreshed.
“Now, should I take a break for a moment…?”

At that moment, the system appeared after a long time.

[You’ve worked hard, Jooeun-nim. ^0^] [You did great today. ㅇ_〈]

Receiving praise from the system. It feels like I’ve done something I shouldn’t have.

[Why can’t you accept praise gracefully! _+]

Well, that’s because what you like is generally unreasonable……

The problem is that I’ve actually done these unreasonable things.

“Was it too much?”

I’m worried that I’ve become too accustomed to the absurdities of the fictional world lately.

What’s even more concerning is that these absurd actions surprisingly work well.

“If this continues, even if I go back to the original world, I might end up doing crazy things.”

Well, I should definitely exercise self-restraint.

Let’s not get too accustomed to this kind of life.

[What’s wrong with this life! ㅠ^ㅠ]

I’m sure you’re not asking because you don’t know.

“Well, whatever. Anyway, I won’t think about it since I finished today’s task successfully.”

I collapsed onto the bed like a dead body.

“Still, it was a fulfilling day after a long time.”

Helped Seong Jichan, connected the heroine and hero.

I wonder what the two of them are doing by now.

Perhaps Seol Yuhwa is taking care of Seong Jichan?

I hope they fall in love quickly.

Lying on the soft bed for a long time made me sleepy. I blinked my eyes slowly. Oh, I’m sleepy. Should I go to bed early today?

The system sparkled.

[Yay! You shouldn’t sleep yet!]

“It’s not over until it’s over!”

“What kind of dirty joke is that…”

Then it happened.

Huh?

A call came on my phone.
