Meanwhile, at that time. In the hospital.

“Huh?”

Sung Ji Chan, who was lying on the bed, looked at his ringing cell phone.

“Who is it?”

It was an unknown number. Sung Ji Chan answered the phone without much thought.

“Hello?”

Then, a man’s voice came from the other end of the receiver.

− Sung Ji Chan! We have your woman! If you want your woman back, come alone to the abandoned building tonight!

And the call was abruptly cut off.

Sung Ji Chan looked at the phone with a dumbfounded face.

“……My woman?”

What nonsense.

It had been several months since he unintentionally became single after breaking up with Han Ye Won.

The only women he had been close to during that time were Yoo Hee Na and Lee Ju Eun. Ah, should Seol Yu Bin…… and Seol Yu Hwa be included too? Even if both were included, that made four.

Anyway, none of them were in a relationship that could be described as ‘my woman’.

Perhaps the man’s voice was so loud that it rang outside the phone, causing Yoo Hee Na to open her eyes wide.

“Ji Chan, you had a girlfriend?”

“There’s no way.”

Sung Ji Chan immediately denied it.

“It must be a prank call.”

In fact, Sung Ji Chan, the top dog of Jeilgo, received many such duel invitations. Especially after ‘that day’, as Sung Ji Chan no longer fought first, people were unusually frequent in picking fights with him.

Among them, there were cases of people sending duel invitations even though they had no intention of actually fighting. The reason was unknown. He just thought it was probably a prank.

“Let’s not pay attention to it.”

Sung Ji Chan closed his phone again.

But after a while.

“Sung Ji Chan!”

An unexpected visitor came to the hospital.

“……Seon Woo Jin?”

What’s going on? He’s not someone who would come here.

Sung Ji Chan was puzzled. His friend Seon Woo Jin did not particularly like visiting the sick.

He often ended up in the hospital due to fights, and he also had some bad experiences, so he disliked hospitals in general. So Sung Ji Chan had no intention of saying anything even if he didn’t come to visit.

Moreover, Seon Woo Jin looked disheveled as if he had run here. It was truly strange considering he usually hated moving.

“What’s up, why are you like this? Did something happen?”

At Sung Ji Chan’s words, Seon Woo Jin took a rough breath and opened his mouth.

“Did you… receive anything?”

“What? What would I receive?”

“Lee Ju Eun disappeared.”

“What?”

Sung Ji Chan opened his eyes wide.

“Why did she disappear?”

Seon Woo Jin explained the whole story.

From Lee Ju Eun coming to ask him to visit the sick together, to going to buy a get-well gift. And when he came back out, Lee Ju Eun had vanished into thin air.

After hearing the whole story, Sung Ji Chan tilted his head.

“Maybe she just left you behind? ……Ah, okay. Don’t look at me like that.”

Seon Woo Jin glared at Sung Ji Chan with eyes that said he was in no mood for jokes, then spoke again.

“I heard a scream.”

“What?”

“Lee Ju Eun screamed.”

Sung Ji Chan couldn’t believe his ears.

“And someone saw Lee Ju Eun being kidnapped.”

Those words were definitely shocking.

As expected, Yoo Hee Na, who had been silent, also chimed in, looking surprised.

“Who kidnapped her?”

Instead of explaining, Seon Woo Jin urged Sung Ji Chan. Somehow, his face looked anxious.

“Did you really not receive anything? You got something when Yoo Hee Na was kidnapped before too.”

Only then did Sung Ji Chan recall the earlier phone call.

“Ah. That.”

“That?”

“I got a call from some crazy bastard earlier.”

Seon Woo Jin raised his eyebrows as if telling him to continue.

“He said he has ‘my woman’ and to come to the abandoned building if I want her back.”

Seon Woo Jin’s face turned cold in an instant.

“‘Your woman’?”

“Ah, that’s. It’s just my guess, but……”

Why does he look like that? Sung Ji Chan felt it was strange, but opened his mouth.

“I told Han Ye Won before that I was dating Lee Ju Eun. Not actually dating, just because Han Ye Won was clinging to me too much…… Ah, I said we’re not dating! Anyway, I think someone overheard that. Or Han Ye Won told them.”

At Sung Ji Chan’s words, Seon Woo Jin frowned as if he didn’t like it.

He’s been acting weird since earlier. Sung Ji Chan furtively observed his friend’s face.

The usual Seon Woo Jin did not react this way to such incidents. He was always indifferent to everything and had no passion to be found. He didn’t react much even when something dramatic happened.

In fact, last time when Yoo Hee Na was kidnapped, he even yawned. Of course, back then, he knew the opponent was Ryu Tae Geon and that Ryu Tae Geon wouldn’t harm Yoo Hee Na.

But why was he being so unusual today?

Sung Ji Chan looked at Seon Woo Jin with suspicious eyes. Then, he suddenly thought of one possibility.

Could it be?

At that moment, Seon Woo Jin moved again.

“I’m going.”

“Where?”

“The abandoned building.”

And Seon Woo Jin immediately ran out of the hospital room.

Sung Ji Chan and Yoo Hee Na, who were left in the room, blankly watched his back.

Finally coming to his senses, Sung Ji Chan spoke.

“Wow, he’s really pissed off.”

Is this the first time seeing him like this? No, I think it’s the second time.

“What do we do now? Ji Chan, don’t you have to go too?”

Yoo Hee Na said with a worried face. Sung Ji Chan thought for a moment and answered.

“Hmm…… I don’t know?”

In a word, I was kidnapped.

‘Damn it. What is this.’

By the time I came to my senses, my whole body was already tightly tied to a chair with ropes.

‘This is what happened to Yoo Hee Na last time.’

I laughed a lot inside while watching Yoo Hee Na back then, but I never thought it would happen to me. I should not laugh at others’ misfortunes in the future.

Having learned that lesson, I let out a sigh.

‘What the hell is going on?’

Looking around, it was familiar. It’s that abandoned building again. Again!

‘Damn it, is it the Haeseong High School guys?’

Come to think of it, I saw some familiar faces among the guys walking around. For example, Choi Yu Han, that bastard Choi Yu Han!

‘What, he’s here too?’

It seemed the problem was more serious than I thought. If that guy was involved, it wouldn’t be a small matter.

‘How the hell did this happen?’

Of course, I had a thought that something might go wrong. After all, these days, the main cast, including myself, had been attracting aggro in more ways than one.

But I never thought they would suddenly kidnap someone like this. And of all people, me!

‘You crazy bastards, I’m an extra!’

Why do I have to go through this kind of thing after possessing someone? There are many romance novels where even extras who possess someone date the male lead well.

Ah, but I don’t want to date Sung Ji Chan. Just imagining it was terrible. Come to think of it again, this might be better……

“You’re awake?”

Someone had approached in front of me before I knew it. I raised my head.

It was Choi Yu Han.

“You briefly lost consciousness earlier. I was really surprised.”

I had never fainted once before possessing this body.

Why do I have to suffer like this? I felt like crying.

‘Why are you doing this to me, world…..’

I sighed and opened my mouth.

“Excuse me, I’m sorry but can I ask you something?”

Then Choi Yu Han grinned.

“No, you can’t.”

I ignored him and asked.

“Why was I kidnapped?”

At my words, Choi Yu Han paused for a moment, thinking, hmm. Soon, what came out of his mouth was unexpected.

“That’s an unexpected question.”

“Why?”

Wouldn’t anyone be curious about why they were kidnapped if they were taken without knowing the reason?

“Because it’s too obvious.”

“What’s obvious?”

“Well…….”

Choi Yu Han shrugged his shoulders.

“To lure in the three-timer, of course.”

What?

I openly frowned.

Ha, I see. I expected it, but it’s ridiculous that it’s really for that reason.

I’d rather hear that it’s revenge for the kidnapping incident I caused last time.

I expressed my frustration.

“I’m sorry, but I have no value as a hostage. I’m nothing to them.”

If you’re going to kidnap someone, kidnap Yoo Hee Na!

I’m saying, why kidnap an extra like me when there’s a proven good hostage available?

Choi Yu Han tilted his head as if puzzled.

“Why do you have no value?”

“Because those bastards won’t come to save me.”

No, if it’s Ban Ha Min, he might come. But he’s currently on an overseas trip.

As for the rest, I’m honestly not sure. Sung Ji Chan is in the hospital, and it’ll be fortunate if Seon Woo Jin even notices I’m gone.

At my words, Choi Yu Han smirked.

“You thought we wouldn’t know?”

“Know what?”

Choi Yu Han said.

“You’re Sung Ji Chan’s girlfriend, aren’t you?”

I mindlessly repeated the words Choi Yu Han had said.

Girl…… Girlfriend……. Sung Ji Chan’s girlfriend…….

What?

“Me?”

I was astounded.

“Why am I that crazy bastard’s girlfriend!”

Then Choi Yu Han said teasingly.

“Did you have a fight with your boyfriend? You’re calling him a crazy bastard. Or is it just a nickname?”

“No, it’s not!”

I had no idea where to even begin to correct this misunderstanding.

“I’m not dating Sung Ji Chan!”

“It must be a secret relationship. Well, that’s possible.”

“I said we’re not dating!”

“Yes, yes.”

Choi Yu Han didn’t listen to a word I said.

‘What the hell, this guy?’

Then, did they kidnap me thinking I was Sung Ji Chan’s girlfriend?

Really?

‘Why am I that guy’s girlfriend?’

Did I do something that could be misunderstood? There’s no way.

Then, a thought suddenly came to my mind.

〈But who knows what will happen in the future? We might date someday, you know?〉

Right, I definitely said that before. To whom? None other than Han Ye Won!

‘Ah, please.’

Please tell me it’s not.

Come to think of it, I remembered encountering Han Ye Won at school today. When she saw me, she was startled and ran away.

‘Could it be that Han Ye Won said it?’

I wanted to deny it, but there was no other route for such a ridiculous rumor to spread.

‘What the hell!’

Aaaaargh! I screamed inside.

If I had known such a crazy snowball would roll, I definitely wouldn’t have done it!

But it was already too late. Because I was kidnapped!

“I just want to die……”

Hearing my muttering, Choi Yu Han spoke.

“You can’t die yet. Die when Sung Ji Chan comes.”

This guy is cold-hearted too……
