The nuclear warhead stealthily approached the viewers.
『What? Arrest the culprit?』
It all started with Kim Yu-han’s bewildered question.
At this moment, the chat火力 of those watching the PC version of the tvS channel was akin to a battlefield.
[ What do you mean what? Aren’t you here to save me? haha ]
[ Haha ]
[ Save me! Save me! Definitely save me!!! ]
『…!』
Kim Yu-han abruptly stood up from his seat.
『Could it be…?』
Soon, he tightly grabbed Lee Kang-cheol by the collar.
『Are you crazy? You’re giving up on that criminal?』
『Just a temporary hold.』
『Hold? What kind of hold is this?!』
Kim Yu-han, speechless with disbelief, couldn’t finish his words.
『We might never be able to catch him again! From next time onward, their activities will be thoroughly by boat! How could we let go of such a good lead!』
『….』
『Didn’t I always emphasize principles? Didn’t I say we must adhere to principles at all times? What exactly are you doing now? You let the criminal we already caught go! You’ve thrown away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!』
[ Kim Yu-han being angry is sexy ]
[ Is he truly angry for the first time? ]
[ It’s different from when he pretends to be angry; acting detail; ]
[ Lee Su-an’s performance is beyond the rookie level ]
Suddenly, Lee Kang-cheol’s fists tightened.
Bang─!
A heavy sound of impact.
Kim Yu-han’s head was jerked to the side along with his fall on his buttocks. Lee Kang-cheol had slapped him.
[ Don’t hit our Yu-han!!! ]
[ No, Lee Kang-cheol has the right to hit him ]
[ Yeah, Yu-han, just calm down a bit!! ]
[ Lee Kang-cheol came here for you!!! ]
『Principle. Yeah, principles are important.』
Lee Kang-cheol said, looking down at Kim Yu-han.
『So, I also followed the principle this time.』
『Utter nonsense…』
『That unmentioned Zeroth Rule of Team 808. I’ll inform you. Pay attention and remember it.』
Lee Kang-cheol abruptly cut off Kim Yu-han’s words.
『No arrest prioritizes over the life of a partner, do you understand?』
[ KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ]
[ Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy ]
[ Big Brother Kang-cheol ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ ]
[ Lee Kang-cheol! Lee Kang-cheol! Lee Kang-cheol! ]
[ Lee Kang-cheol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]
『….』
A brief moment of silence.
『Zero rule? You’re talking about a rule that doesn’t even exist…』
『And it’s exactly on hold.』
Lee Kang-cheol spoke; now with a slight smile.
『We’ll eventually catch him someday. No matter how crazy he is, he’s not as crazy as you, right?』
[ A ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ ]
[ Why am I crying? Why? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ ]
[ Both of them have truly gone through so much!!!! ]
[ Finally, salvation… ]
[ These two are mixing together! ]
[ We viewers have suffered a lot too ㅠㅠㅠㅠ ]
[ I’ve been on edge for a whole week ㅠ ]
Soon, both burst into laughter simultaneously.
『…Do you know? You’re not in your right mind either, Senior.』
『And here I am hearing this from you.』
And then…
Thud…
Something gently struck the top of the head.
Thud… Plunk…
Looking up revealed the cool sensation of something gently tapping his forehead. It started to rain—quite heavily.
Not long after, it poured in torrents.
Soaking─
The world was getting soaked, and now…
『Kim Yu-han.』
『Yes.』
『Let’s return. It’s time to report the failure.』
[ This is truly my life drama ]
[ Haven’t wasted time like this in a long while… ]
[ Other dramas should learn from this ]
[ Honestly, other dramas only go for shock value ]
[ Ah ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Just do 100 episodes ]
The warm atmosphere was consistent across all platforms.
The viewers were satisfied. That’s why no one at this moment desired anything additional, and hence they let their guard down. A flaw allowing a fatal blow opened up.
WAAAAAAH─!
Right on cue, the wail of a fire truck siren.
『…!』
Lee Kang-cheol’s eyes widened.
The headlights of finally arriving fire trucks pierced the darkness, revealing a never-before-seen scene.
[ This is truly my life drama ]
[ Haven’t wasted time like this in a long while… ]
[ Other dramas should learn from this ]
[ Honestly, other dramas only go for shock value ]
[ Ah ㅠㅠ Just do 100 episodes ]
These weren’t the same chats being reposted.
Rather, the chat window itself froze as if time stopped.
It wasn’t magical synchronization causing many to suddenly withdraw their hands from their keyboards; it was simply impossible to share their thoughts no matter how vigorously they typed.
[ ! Chat window connection failed ]
A common phenomenon experienced by all the viewers.
Even though the chat window froze, the drama continued.
『Kim Yu-han…?』
Lee Kang-cheol’s expression now seemed to understand.
The viewers were the same. Puzzles that were in question inside their heads began to fit together.
Lee Kang-cheol and Kim Yu-han had never shared a locker room. Moreover, a voice mentioned before as neutral, along with an appearance that seemed odd, started to make sense.
Now, with the chat window going wild, it was Lee Kang-cheol who articulated what was everyone’s questions.
『You…?』
Soaking─
In that scene still drenched by the rain.
『Shh.』
Yu-han.
Rather, Sua put her finger quietly on her lips.
『This is a secret.』
That’s when the chat window was restored.
[ ? ]
[ ????? ]
[ ? ??? ??? ]
[ ㅁ/??? ]
[ ㅇ?????? ]
[ /????/???? ]
[ ?????? ? ? ]
[ ??? ? ?? ?? ]
Just like a sewer overflow, the accumulated chats surged at an unprecedented speed. It looked like a massive dragon’s body wiggling as it ascended.
Of course, this situation wasn’t limited to the chat window.
A nuclear bomb had dropped; all the viewers scattered across Korea had been hit as if they’d rehearsed in advance, and in an instant, they all screamed the same.
“Eh?”
“Huh?”
“Eeeeeeeeeeh?”
“What, what’s that?”
“Kim Yu-han! That’s Kim Yu-han…!”
Suddenly, someone cried out.
“It’s Sua─!”

◈◈◈◈◈
2 hours after Episode 8 aired, a black van pulled up in front of Seo Yeon-joo’s mansion.
Not just Seo Yeon-joo but another person got out—the none other than Sua. Yeon-joo invited her over as a celebration for the airing of episode 8, and there was no reason for Sua to refuse.
‘In the past, I’d probably have declined citing image management…’
But now, it felt like she had a truly sisterly affection toward her.
Additionally, Sua actually desired this invitation.
Clunk, clunk, clunk!
Her heart was pounding so loudly she couldn’t contain it. It felt like it might burst. She needed someone nearby.
‘What do I do? My identity has been exposed! Really!’
Her mind was in turmoil. It was bouncing back and forth like an elastic ball. How were people reacting? This was supposed to be a pleasant twist, right? Her head bubbled with agitation.
“Sua.”
At that moment, Kim I-seo called out to her.
The president, whose bangs were adorned with two large hairpins, was still looking at Sua through the open van door with an extremely knowing look.
“Episode 8 has aired. How do you feel?”
“Well…”
Sua thought about it, but no matter how many times she thought…
“I don’t really know.”
She couldn’t tell.
It was strange and yet not quite real. It might be because her body hadn’t gone through it yet. Sua, after finishing the special screening, had immediately boarded the van and moved here.
Her phone rang wildly, but even though she could’ve checked it midway, she didn’t. Perhaps Sua simply wasn’t ready to face it yet. She was too nervous.
Meanwhile, Kim I-seo’s lips clearly curled upward.
As if she had foreseen everything.
“Sua, do you remember our first meeting?”
“First meeting, you mean…”
“You said Sua has a unique scent.”
Then, Sua finally remembered. Inside the van, she first met Mystic, and Kim I-seo had mentioned Sua had her own unique scent.
“There’s only one difference between then and now.”
“What do you mean?”
“Now, the entire nation knows Sua’s scent.”
Sua’s mouth twitched. What about the reactions to that scent? But honestly, did she really want to hear the answers?
Why was this happening? Sua, like a girl falling for her first love.
Of course, Sua hadn’t had a first love before!
Kim I-seo glanced at her phone briefly and spoke.
“You must sleep soundly today.”
“Yes.”
Sua nodded expressionlessly, but she wasn’t confident. She might just end up staring at the ceiling all night.
“By the time you open your eyes again, the world will have changed.”
Kim I-seo finished her words and stepped back, and Sua suddenly remembered. The director had never once lied to her.
.
.
.
.
.
Unexpectedly, Sua didn’t enter the mansion right away.
Creak─!
Instead, she pushed open the convenience store door.
“Suddenly called to a meet, didn’t have time to prepare,” was the excuse.
There was only one reason—she wanted to buy disposable underwear.
How could she sleep in someone else’s mansion without bathing?
After bathing, putting on the same underwear again was undesirable—it would feel sticky. Sua didn’t have the guts to borrow underwear from Seo Yeon-joo.
“…Or, thinking about it, our sizes are quite different.”
Yep. It’s definitely better to buy.
Sua quickly finished the payment without even looking at the price. “It’s time to raid this convenience store.” Sua’s richness!
Sua flaunting wealth! Sua showing off!
Thereafter, she was about to exit the convenience store quickly but a minor issue arose. Just as she was about to leave, a group of people was trying to enter.
Clunk!
The door got stuck.
When Sua pushed the door, the others on the opposite side did too. When Sua tried pulling, the others did as well.
Embarrassing, but surprisingly common in life.
When Sua backed up awkwardly,
“…”
A surprising incident occurred.
The group outside the convenience store didn’t enter.
Instead, they stood frozen with their bodies rigid, eyes tripling in size. Soon, their mouths opened wide as if their jaws might dislocate.
“What? Wha-what?”
“Hey, hey! This person! No, wait! This person!”
It started with a few cries.
“It’s Kim Yu-han!”
“It’s Lee Su-an—!”
“It’s Sua! It’s Sua!”
They went wild without even entering.
Items they planned to purchase seemed entirely insignificant compared to Sua’s presence.
“Sua! Is that Sua? It’s really Sua!”
It was a moment where random people recognized Sua.
Recognition.
Kim I-seo was right. There was no need to wait until morning. Sua could already feel the world changing through her entire body.
