Love Made Me Miserable~
Being curious~¿
Inside the high end mansion that was built on the outskirts of City A like a vacation place...
Chaos ensured as came the nagging voice of a man in his 40s as he continued to chatter to an expressionless guy currently using a treading mill.
Manager Min
I have told you many times right!
Just why can't you be careful with once?!
Manager Min
The matter is exploding right now on the internet!
The man who is also in his 40s but seeing him no one will believe that opened his mouth to retort.
Working as an actor in this industry where face value prevails as highest his skin is still in the peak condition that he maintained over the years.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
I don't think you can accuse me on this matter.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
Who would have known they will bribe the former assistant?
The words were reflecting his own nonchalance over the matter as he himself felt the current hot topic on the internet not worthy of him to intervene.
Not even when his own manager is accusing himself of the cause instead of suing the former assistant for breach of contract over confidentiality.
Manager Min
But you should still have tried to avoid yourself mentioning your sexuality…!
The manager tried to retort not willing to back down from the argument even when he understands the real matter inside his heart.
That the artist has no hands in this matter, and it's all due to his own negligence.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*chooses to remain silent*
Manager Min
*sighs seeing his artist ignoring himself*
Feeling himself at a loss for words the manager finally decides to take the responsibility about this matter as he rummaged his bag to find the script he found.
Manager Min
*rummages his bag*
Seeing the manager busy in finding work for him Jonghyuk decides to finish his working out session as he goes and sit on the nearby chair with a towel around his neck.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*Stops the tread mill and drinks water sitting on the nearby chair*
Manager Min
*finds the script*
Manager Min
*gives the script to his artist as he gives the summary about the work*
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*flipping through the script reading about all character overviews*
Manager Min
This is the best script for your last domestic appearance before targeting Hollywood.
Manager Min
The script is a web novel based that is currently the bestseller both abroad and here.
Manager Min
The script has been kept to the original book without revising much and even the lineup for this project is very big.
Manager Min
As this is the first time this type of novel genre is being made the public anticipation is also at peak.
Manager Min
You can choose the role carefully before audition that is in 3 days.
Even the audition is just a formality if you really want that role.
Manager Min
The background of the story is omega verse.
Manager Min
And since this is a first time this type of genre and fantasy concept is being made even the negative publicity is well managed.
Manager Min
There are 2 seasons for this script, but it will be all done at once.
All the characters here are same, so it is also good for your image.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*listening silently as he immerses himself in reading the characters summary*
The manager continues to chatter about the perfect work he has brought for his artist and how his artist should follow and work on this project.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
Hmm, so which character?
Manager Min
Of course, you should go for main character or for second lead.
The manager said it as matter of fact as if this is the correct thing to be done.
Listening to manager Jonghyuk remained silent for a few seconds as he stares at the character profile he has been reading for the past few minutes.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
I think this character suits me better. I will do this.
Jonghyuk said as he handed over the script still on the same character profile he has been looking at.
Seeing that manager eagerly took the script from his artist to see which character his artist is going to act at.
Manager Min
Oh thi---!!!!!!
CHARACTER PROFILE
● Kim Jonghyuk
● 26 years old
● Alpha Male
● Main Villain for season 1
● Side character in season 2
#personality :: Rich CEO, cunning, lustful, impulsive, violent.
Seeing the character profile manager felt like his eyes would pop out.
This was the same character he was sure artist would never choose but now…?!
Manager Min
Hey! Even though this character is most valued after main character, but it is still not good.
Manager Min
This character is just almost only made for criticism and sympathy.!
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
I know. I read the summary.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
I will do only this character.
Saying that sentence Jonghyuk got up from the chair as he headed towards his room ignoring his manager's anxious protest.
And how can he say that he also don't know why he wants to do this character.
It's just he felt this character is most familiar with himself.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[It's all absurd.]
Entering the bathroom Jonghyuk just stood under the shower as he let cold water pour onto him to clear his head.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[This character is intriguing me.]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[My heart feels restless after a long time just because of this character someone wrote.]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[No I should find the cause for this restlessness.]
As soon as this thought came to his mind Jonghyuk found a direction to what to do next.
A few days passed without waiting...
In the meantime Kim Jonghyuk searched up everything about the said character who shares his name.
Whether it is reading the original novel or author's notes and summary... Kim Jonghyuk did all.
He bought the original novel and all other sidestories or bonus parts of the same novel as if he is consistently studying about that same character.
Doing so he even researched everything about the novel from its background to the extra characters.
But his focus never dwindled as he put more concentration whenever something related to the villain character who shares the same name with him came up.
Even he himself didn't realize his own crazy actions as he successfully got the role of the Main Villain.
Carelessness ~¿
Kim Jonghyuk himself didn't realise how much invested he has become in the main villain of that script he got.
Whatever the reason and excuse he made for himself in his mind the reality is not something he can deceive.
Days passed as Jonghyuk did everything to dig out any article and news about that novel.
Afterall the novel was a complete version that is finished for quite sometime.
So even after he searched the internet for news about the novel there is quite a limited posts only.
Kim Jonghyuk in his curiosity didn't even leave the fan pages and web novel remake of that same novel.
In between the craziness of Kim Jonghyuk who searched every web page related to novel he found days passed quickly..
It was the time that news articles related to cast about the new drama spread everywhere on the internet causing quite a lot of buzz.
Well that was to be expected from all the neitizens after seeing the amazing cast line the producers and investors found to make this top level drama.
Even fans can't seem to conatin their excitement as they waited for more posts related to the new drama.
Manager Min
The response is really great!
Manager Min
Even articles about your sexuality that became hot topic before are being suppressed.
Kim Jonghyuk remained unmoved as he made some marking on the script book in his hands.
He has now put the thoughts about main villain in the script to stop as he focus on his work currently.
Kim Jonghyuk has been preparing for the 1st shoot for quite some hours as he mark down the areas with the self noted emotions necessary for that part.
This is the habit he has developed himself working as an actor with 20+ years of experience.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[ I should wait for some free time to search about that novel.]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[ Till that time I will also get in contact with the author of that novel.]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[ For now work is important.]
Manager Min
*saw his artist is busy in his work so choose to say for what he came*
Manager Min
The company has already sued the former assistant for breach of confidentiality and misuse of personal information.
Manager Min
So Even though the news is suppressed your fan base has suffered greatly.
Manager Min
The company has decided to release an article denying all those claims about you being gay.
Manager Min
You need to also post a letter about clarifying your sexuality.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
But you do know that I am a bi.
Just release the truth.
Manager Min
The company is handling it.
It is better to stay far away from firepower at this time.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
And deceiving fans is also something I don't want to do.
Especially not when many fans are speculating and finding old scandals and articles to prove it.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
My clarification will only work as fuel for them to prove their claim.
Manager Min
It is still better than your toxic fans making trouble.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
As if they are not doing so right now.
I checked the response in internet and many people are making stories about my role as a villain.
Manager Min
.... So you want to make your fans busy in their own speculation rather than having them fight your toxic fans.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
mm.
It is better to avoid friction.
Manager Min
Ok.
But you have to keep extra bodyguards from now on.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*nods his head*
Like this time passed as finally the day when 1st shoot of the drama is scheduled came.
Like other main casts Jonghyuk also has many scenes starting from the first shoot only.
On the way to the shoot location alone in his own car driving Kim Jonghyuk for a moment felt uneasy and restless.
The same feeling that came from inside when he first saw the Main Villain's character profile.
In his own thoughts as he drove towards the shoot location Kim Jonghyuk didn't even notice how his phone that was kept in silent mode where the lock screen is flashing with notifications.
Mostly from his Manager.
At the shooting location.
The first shoot location was chosen as a banquet hall where all the main characters make entry all together.
Also, the place where the main plot starts.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*reached the hotel*
The banquet hall was chosen from a 5-star hotel and the place where actors accommodation is arranged.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*parks the car as he picks up the phone before getting off*
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*saw his Manager's miss call*
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[Ah? Did something happen?]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*calls back to his manager as he made way towards the front gate of hotel*
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
I should have taken a cap and mask ...
*mumbles to himself*
Just as Kim Jonghyuk reached the main gate of hotel the Manager also picked up his phone.
Listening to his Manager's urgent voice Jonghyuk asked the matter.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
📱 What happened Manager nim?
Manager Min
📱 Where are you?!
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
📱 At the location.
Manager Min
📱 Then why didn't you take bodyguards with you?!
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
📱.... [how do I say that I myself don't know.]
Manager Min
📱 Ok fine!
Wherever you are just stay in the car!
Manager Min
📱 I am coming fast!
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
📱 I am already standing at hotel's door.
As while talking to him Manager…Jonghyuk's steps never stopped for a minute as he made his way towards the hotel's entrance.
Manager Min
📱 No! Come back to your car quickly!
Manager Min
📱 fck! Don't know from where the shooting location has been leaked and according to staff there after you article many toxic fans are waiting for you there.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
📱 But it should be fine since there are many bodyguards right?
Manager Min
📱 No the situation is getting out of control, and we can't take any risks.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
📱 Hmm I will head back to my car.
Manager Min
📱 You should, I'm coming there quickly.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*puts the phone in his pocket as he turns to leave*
But Just as Jonghyuk turned to leave from the entrance of the hotel someone has already seen him from a distance.
Inside the hotel a huge crowd of people is gathered as they made a commotion where many bodyguards are stationed inside the hotel to clear the area.
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted at the top of their lungs attracting everyone's attention to their words.
Unknown Woman
KIM JONGHYUK IS THERE AT HOTEL ENTRANCE!!!
Everyone in the crowd heard this voice even Kim Jonghyuk who is leaving from the hotel entrance also heard this voice.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*runs towards his car as he saw a huge crowd coming towards him*
But before he could reach his car the crowd surrounded him from all sides as he was pushed and stepped on inside the crowd.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
Ugh…
Leave...
Even the bodyguards also saw this scene as they came running towards the actor to help him.
Kim Jonghyuk was also not idle as tried to find an opening in the crowd of people to get away.
Rude fan*[toxic/saesang]
It's all your fault for being something I don't like.
Rude fan*[toxic/saesang]
You like man right.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*heard some mumbling so moved his head to get a clear view*
But at that time Jonghyuk felt intense pain in his back and stomach.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[It is getting difficult to breathe.]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[So much pain…]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*tried to touch his back from where he felt pain*
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*looks at his hand all wet*
A sickening smell of iron permeated his nose as he stood stumbling in between the crowd looking at his hands covered in red.
It was blood ... his blood!!!
Rude fan*[toxic/saesang]
*stabs knife 🗡 1 more time*
Rude fan*[toxic/saesang]
It's your fault.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*feeling dizzy*
At that time all Jonghyuk could hear was many screams from people crowding around him as his vision turned dark.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[I am dying?]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[But I didn't do anything wrong to get stabbed like this...]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[My name? Who?]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[Someone is calling me?]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[I.. I'm here..]
He himself don't know why he replied to that voice.
But after replying to that voice his body felt light and even his mind felt refreshed.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*felt light ahead*
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*abruptly opens his eyes*
And what he saw stunned him so much.
A Victim you say~
Feeling himself being sucked towards the source of light Kim Jonghyuk took a deep breath as he tried to steady himself.
Closing his eyes tightly to the blinding light that enveloped him.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*Abruptly opens his eyes*
Coming back to his senses Jonghyuk opened his eyes quite suddenly...
While flinching and covering his eyes with his hands he tried to adjust his eyes to the sudden brightness.
But looking at what was in front of him left him stunned.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*looking at what was in front of him intently*
There stood a beautifully carved door that even any normal person would marvel at its unique design.
Before Jonghyuk had time to immerse himself more in the beauty of the door a voice interrupted his thoughts.
Somehow that voice felt strangely familiar as if he had heard it before.
That's when it dawned upon him from where he heard that voice.
Unknown Man
" Kim Jonghyuk, Age 42 died due to stab at 10:34 "
" A victim, soul harmed during previous bridge accident "
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[The same voice!]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[That voice that called my name after my vision turned black!]
Suddenly after those words the beautifully carved doors opened by itself as if permitting his entry.
Following that the thought to enter the place inside those doors emerged in Jonghyuk's mind.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*walks inside the door with light steps*
The place that unfolded infront of Jonghyuk was something he would never have imagined in the first place.
The same place that he was familiar with that he has been seeing for the 2 decades now.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[This..This is my living room!?]
Unknown Man
Welcome Kim Jonghyuk.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*looks at the man*
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[I can't see his face clearly.]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
You are..?
Unknown Man
You should take a seat Kim Jonghyuk.
The man didn't answer Jonghyuk's question instead offered him to take a seat.
Kim Jonghyuk noticed this too as he took a seat in the one-seater sofa.
Unknown Man
You can't go through reincarnation.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[I'm dead. So after dying people enter reincarnation cycle and go on to live their next life.]
Unknown Man
Because the last time when you were going to enter reincarnation cycle an accident happened in the reincarnation Bridge.
Unknown Man
You were a victim that time as your soul lost it's half.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
I am half soul?
Even though Jonghyuk didn't understand everything the unknown man said, but he still got some clues to his condition.
Listening to unknown man's words he can still guess that much.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[So after my death in previous life I came here and was going to enter reincarnation cycle.
But some accident happened in the way.]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[Because of that accident my soul broke in 2 parts?
And I can't enter reincarnation cycle with half soul.]
Unknown Man
Everything you concluded is correct.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*eyes widens*
[He can hear my thoughts ?!]
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
So then What should I do?
Unknown Man
You have to get your other half soul and merge it back.
Unknown Man
You must have already known where and how your other part is.
Unknown Man
Nature has already made you cross path with your other soul.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*thinking*
Unknown Man
It can be either an object or someone you only heard about.
Unknown Man
It has connections to your heart.
so hearing about that you must have felt something strange.
The unknown man tried to guide Kim Jonghyuk towards the answer.
And hearing all those clues Kim Jonghyuk tried to narrow down everything that came to his mind.
Suddenly a strange gut feeling arises inside Kim Jonghyuk as he said the words that unknowingly popped up in his mind.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
Kim Jonghyuk, the side villain...
Unknown Man
*chuckles*
You got it right.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*looks at the unknown man*
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
[I know where and how Kim Jonghyuk, the side villain is.]
Unknown Man
Your soul will be sent there to merge into a complete soul.
Unknown Man
Normally it takes around a year to completely merge broken souls.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
I go there?
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
Then my body? No...
Unknown Man
You are a soul now. Your body has been cremated already.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
Then I will enter my other soul's body?
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
Then after merging my soul for a year I will die...?
Unknown Man
No you can live till your lifespan end naturally in that world as a compensation.
Unknown Man
Hmm. You can experience some side effects during the 1 year your soul is in the process of merging.
Unknown Man
Dizziness, coughing blood or likewise.
Unknown Man
You will also merge your memories with your other soul.
It was all too much for Jonghyuk to take. His mind has already been left blank.
He might appear to be calm, but only he knows how stunned he is that even his body has stiffened up.
Unknown Man
So survive there.
You already know the future right.
Kim Jonghyuk[past]
*eyes widens as he looks at unknown Man*
Before Jonghyuk could utter a word with his slightly parted lips his vision again turned black.
In the darkness he felt the same suction force guiding himself to somewhere...
？？？
*Running in the forest*
That person ran quite swiftly as he made his way towards the uneven downhill in the forest.
Hiding himself in the steep downhill behind a large tree he took out a walkie-talkie from his waist attachment.
？？？
I have suffered grade B injury.
Requesting follow up.
Before he could say any more words he heard many footsteps nearby.
？？？
*turned off walkie-talkie*
？？？
*took a smoke bomb and throw it towards the other direction*
The method worked as many shadows were seen heading in the other direction.
Just when the person hiding is moving his head started feeling dizzy as his vision turned blurry.
？？？
*trying to move steadily as he is still standing near a downhill*
That person had unfocused eyes for a whole 5 sec as he squatted down on the ground covered with leaves.
？？？
*tries to stand up despite his dizzy head*
But it didn't go as planned and because of dizziness the person lost his footing.
Due to this he fell down hard rolling down the downhill.
？？？
*tries to save himself*
And he finally stopped as his left leg got hit with a big stone.
？？？
*fell unconscious due to pain and blood loss*
