chapter 0
0 – Prologue
I am 17 years old. My name is Eunwoo Seo.
An ordinary male student who is about to enter high school.
But I had secrets that were a little far from the ordinary.
[There is a rumor that the writer is retiring…… Is it really true?]
As always, the message that I contacted first today without fail.
Seol So-young.
Despite her young age as a middle school student, she debuted as a heroine in a drama from her first work and showed her acting skills and swept all awards that year. The main character of the world in a drama.
That was the name of the person who sent me a message.
Over the past few years, she and I have become close enough to contact each other privately as exchanges between drama writers and actors have become frequent.
To be honest, the female lead in the dramas I wrote was always her, so in a way, we had to interact more often.
Hmm?
But why did you only use Seol So-yeong for the female lead role?
Her everything was for her! The reason for her love is that she is superficial, and in fact, her artistic inspiration comes to me automatically when I look at her.
Should I say the existence commonly called muse?
Well, there’s no way she’ll ever find out about this embarrassing fact, but she’s sure if she gets caught… ….
Ooh…….
Are you serious about committing suicide?
Anyway.
[It’s a temporary retirement, but it’s like that for circumstances. I think I will completely withdraw from drama work for the time being.]
[…] … What’s the matter? If you have any difficulties, please tell me. I’ll help you somehow.]
Giying-
As soon as you send a reply, your phone vibrates instantly.
After reading the contents, it seems that he is fully prepared to help even though he has never seen his face.
Honestly, the daughter of the president of Jeil Electronics, a global conglomerate, and now a popular actress, her wealth must be beyond imagination.
Just.
It wasn’t because of the money issue, so I replied firmly.
[It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry too much. Also, Soyoung should appear in works by other writers besides me. It will definitely be a good experience.]
I felt sorry for the moment while sending the text message. Come to think of it, she has only appeared in my works until now.
Ah.
There was a time when I expressed my intention to appear in another work, but there was also a time when I threatened (?) That I would never do it.
At that time, I did it out of a sincere heart for her, but I wondered if there would be quite a bit of her core left.
Um…….
It seems too shameless to hand over an apology even now…….
In the first place, since the big link between her as a drama writer and an actress has disappeared, there was no reason for her or me to exchange text messages like we do now.
Then…….
“You mean it’s finally over. This relationship.”
I tapped the cell phone’s keypad thoughtfully with a bitter smile.
Even though I couldn’t apologize for the circumstances, I wanted to give one last word of support.
[Thank you for appearing in the drama I wrote, starting with my first work. From now on, I will support Soyoung as a fan, not as a 927 artist. Enough then.]
This should be enough, right?
I sent the message like that and immediately turned off the screen of my phone. It vibrated as if there was an immediate reply, but I ignored it and lay down on the bed.
“Whoa… ….”
The current time is 10:30 PM.
It could be said that it was a bit early for sleep, but I intended to go to sleep as soon as possible.
After all, tomorrow is the high school entrance ceremony.
I fell asleep in an instant, and when I opened my eyes again, it was 6 am. It was also worthwhile to fall asleep early.
…… What.
But when I opened my eyes, the room was strangely bright.
The reason was that the screen of the mobile phone that I exchanged text messages with Seol So-young yesterday was still shining.
In case you didn’t know, I checked my phone and saw this notification first.

“…… Under?”
There were so many text messages and missed calls that my drowsiness disappeared in an instant.
All of that came from one person, Seol So-yeong, all night……
What is it?
Why is this woman who had never called me before in my life suddenly frightening?
