Sssssss─!
Sua had returned to the original world.
Not much time had passed, and the familiar breakroom of Mystic Headquarters remained unchanged. If someone else had seen this, they would’ve thought Sua had simply closed her eyes for a moment.
But Sua’s experience had changed drastically.
“Huff….”
It was because the essence of Lim Soo-hee, the leader of the Special Mobile Unit 808, had seeped into Sua’s heart. To Sua, it felt like she had personally lived another life.
It was kind of like the returners in novels.
‘It’s not as unpleasant as I thought it would be?’
Cigarettes, murder, violence… Those things Sua had dreaded due to her frail heart didn’t feel as shocking as before. That didn’t mean she was welcoming them, but she wasn’t experiencing any aftereffects either.
Her mind was intact.
‘No shock, no backlash, and no aftereffects.’
The more she thought about it, the more it made sense.
Compared to when she first obtained the special ability, her level of mastery was incomparably high now. She had moved past the point of trembling at the sight of shocking scenes, hadn’t she?
It felt like a dream to Sua. While she wasn’t affected mentally by murder as long as she didn’t embody Lim Soo-hee’s role, and there would be no resistance when she did because she became one with Lim Soo-hee.
Mastery Increased! Sua Indestructible!
‘Still…’
There was one thing that nagged her.
‘…What was Yeon-joo’s expression?’
The expression of Yeon-joo kept lingering in Sua’s mind.
Of course, this was not Seo Yeon-joo but Park Si-yeon. It was just a role, but it was also an impeccable representation of Seo Yeon-joo, making it quite odd and hard to overlook.
Curiosity naturally grew like branches of a tree.
‘What kind of role is this?’
Why was Park Si-yeon using Seo Yeon-joo’s face? And what kind of life did Park Si-yeon lead?
Sua carefully read the script.
001—Park Si-yeon (Seo Yeon-joo)
Park Si-yeon is astonishingly intelligent.
‘She eventually passed the judicial bar exam, huh.’
Even after becoming a prosecutor, Park Si-yeon’s success didn’t stop. She became the prosecutor of prosecutors and rose rapidly.
But Park Si-yeon’s greed grew, becoming a problem.
She found pleasure in deceiving people and exercising authority over them, and as her audacious scams grew larger, it became increasingly impossible to manage them. And in the end…
‘Huh? I die?’
It was Lim Soo-hee (Sua) who died.
It was a death met while protecting Park Si-yeon until the very end.
‘That’s why the script felt so thin. The scene is short.’
…So why did Park Si-yeon have Seo Yeon-joo’s face? Why did the ranking drop? And why can’t Yeoncheon-kyung be freed?
Sua’s mind remained complicated.
“Yuhan Sua! Could you look into this for me?”
– Of course. I’ll think about it.
Kim Yu-han was competent. Since he had started thinking seriously, something useful would likely come out of it soon. Just as those thoughts passed.
Knock knock─
Mystic’s CEO, Kim I-seo, appeared.
The representative appeared wearing two large hairpins on her fringe as usual, waving her tiny hands.
“Do you work too earnestly? Did I interrupt your script reading?”
“No, I was just casually going over it.”
“Then that’s good. By the way, Sua.”
The CEO quietly approached Sua.
Sua had noticed. The representative was getting to the main topic.
“There’s soon going to be a swimsuit photo shoot, but we don’t have a separate script. It’s said the situation is pretty straightforward.”
“Ah, I see.”
Sua nodded.
Actually, Sua had requested the script. Even though it was just a photo shoot, if she could somehow make use of the special ability, the process would be much smoother. That was the reason.
But well, no script, no problem!
Kim I-seo continued.
“And the products in this photo session mainly come from Japan. The swimsuit brand is primarily focused on the Japanese market, and representatives from the Japanese office will be coming as well.”
“I understand.”
Sua could easily nod.
With her confidence in Japanese, Sua was unbeatable!
Had Kim I-seo sensed Sua’s determination? She smiled too.
“Now that I think about it, I didn’t need to tell you this, did I? Your Japanese is so fluent that this is rather beneficial.”
Right at that moment.
“Representative, representative!”
Park Team Leader appeared with an urgent expression.
Of course, Kim I-seo’s reaction remained calm.
“Hmmmm?”
“Director Lee Geum-sook wants you to check her messages!”
Kim I-seo sighed after looking at her phone.
“Oh, didn’t realize I was talking with Sua. What is it?”
It moved quickly afterward.
A quick conversation between Lee Geum-sook and Kim I-seo took place, and Kim I-seo’s expression became brighter and brighter. Hence, Sua could sense it; something good happened.
Sure enough, as soon as the call ended, Kim I-seo smiled.
“It’s a thank you to Sua.”
“A thank you?”
“Yes. After actress Seo Jung talked to you, she changed her mind and decided to take Hong Writer’s project. Incredible.”
Kim I-seo playfully nudged Sua’s side with her elbow. Though with their height difference, it was more like she nudged Sua’s stomach instead of the side.
The representative continued in a bright voice.
“Isn’t this such an odd situation? High-level actress Seo Jung scrutinized Sua and changed her mind? This is a completely different level from before. Do you feel it?”
Truthfully, Sua was utterly bewildered.
It was hard to understand.
‘Huh? But I told her not to do it.’
Since Sua was not planning to cling to anything, she had told Seo Jung in their last conversation that if she didn’t have genuine intentions, she should back out. Yet she changed her mind?
Hmm, maybe she decided to go for it seriously?
Or did Sua’s words make an impression?
Sua asked.
“Did she say anything else?”
“Oh, Seo Jung has her own special way of speaking.”
“Seo Jung’s own special way?”
Kim I-seo nodded.
“Experiencing Seo Jung, anyone would encounter this. Somehow, she tends to say things that only she understands, in various ways. Truly unconventional woman.”
“Ah.”
Sua understood easily.
Well, considering her low IQ, right?
“She said something like she’ll burn it till the Arctic melts… something along those lines. Guess she’s trying hard.”
“Oooh?”
Sua couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
Why not? It was a piece of fantastic news!
Factually, Sua had spent the night awake worrying.
That was a characteristic of Sua’s cautious nature. Once she said something harsh to others, she got nervous, couldn’t sleep, regretted it, and worried a lot…
…Yet, it turned out that those “harsh” words were effective. Sua’s stinging words had worked!
Meanwhile, Park Team Leader and Kim I-seo were talking.
“It’s quite unprecedented. This is the first time I’ve seen Seo Jung changing her mind. I’m truly surprised.”
“It wasn’t likely the script was appealing late. It must have been Sua’s doing. Sua is like a magnet, aren’t you?”
“That’s correct. A magnet that draws fortune.”
Listening to it affirmed Sua’s conjecture. Sua trembled.
‘…’
Sua, have you become so extraordinary that you can even correct the attitudes of top-tier actors? With your career advancing, have your intelligence and dignity also increased?
She realized the reason for the grade increase.
Sua had gained charisma after all…
Of course, this was too detached from reality, but unexpectedly, the Sua Association didn’t refute it. Just sat eating popcorn and watching. “There she goes again.”
Whatever the case, Sua was happy.
Her confidence was soaring.
‘Writer Hong Ye-ji must be happy too.’
Hong Ye-ji’s smile appeared vividly in front of her mind.

Meanwhile, the internet was heating up.

The world was still buzzing over “Special Mobile Unit 808” even after the drama ended.
The drama might have concluded, but people’s interest only increased. It grew warmer. The actors who contributed to the brilliance of “Special 8” were now appearing in various reality shows, naturally drawing attention.

Therefore.

Night. Incheon International Airport.
Writer Lee Geum-sook warmly greeted someone.
“Ah, Director! Over here!”
On hearing her shout, it wasn’t just anyone but Japan’s master director Yusaku approaching, and he wasn’t alone.
Drrrrk─
A wheelchair was being towed along with one very delicate-looking girl sitting on it, a face so beautiful that her very frailness seemed to be an integral part of her charm.
Yusaku smiled shyly as he approached.
“Thank you for accepting such a sudden request at the last moment. Only Director Lee came to mind when this suddenly arose.”
With an interpreter present, there was no trouble in their conversation.
Writer Lee Geum-sook waved her hand while smiling.
“Not at all. I was actually eager to help Director Yusaku with anything. It strengthens our bond and it’s good, isn’t it? I’ll ask for a favor from you later as well.”
“Of course. Also, you don’t need to be humble. I was very impressed with Special Mobile Unit 808. I never expected that Sua, who was famous for short films, was Kim Yu-han.”
He originally was only interested in Sua but after learning she was also in the drama, he binge-watched it and was left marveling.
As they were talking, the handle of the wheelchair was taken over by Lee Geum-sook.
“Anyway, I’m guessing you want me to take care of this girl, right?”
“Exactly. Sawako hasn’t had any peers to share her writing with over the years, it’s been difficult for her. If she stays with Writer Lee’s team, she’ll definitely learn something.”
“Understood. How long?”
“A week will suffice. During this period, I plan to visit various places in Korea to gather inspirations.”
“Alright, you can leave it to me.”
…
…
…
…
…
…
A short while later, inside a van in motion.
The assistant writers were quietly murmuring.
“Who is she?”
“She’s a writer from Japan.”
“A writer? She looks really young.”
“Does a writer need to have an age? Anyway, she needs more experiences and has some other reasons too.”
“She seems really nice. We want to take good care of her.”
One of the assistant writers asked Director Lee.
“Director, are we taking her to the workshop?”
“That was the original plan.”
“Huh? Is it different now?”
“Of course. Isn’t the purpose to exchange writing skills?”
Director Lee Geum-sook smirked.
“Who should she live with for the most effective exchange? Isn’t it obvious?”
…
…
…
…
…
…
Ding dong─
“…!”
Lying there like a corpse, Hong Ye-ji employed the “Lightning Speed Technique” to approach the entrance. Was the delivery that fast?
Bulging sound–!
Then silence.
“….”
Hong Ye-ji had to deep-breathe.
“….”
Because the visitor wasn’t a delivery person.
It was the person Hong Ye-ji wanted to avoid the most – Writer Lee Geum-sook, the one who constantly thwarted her escape attempts.
“Ah, Writer Hong.”
Lee Geum-sook immediately handed over an envelope of money.
“Take care of this girl for some time. It won’t be long.”
“…?”
Hong Ye-ji glanced around and noticed the girl sitting in the wheelchair beside her in the hallway. A girl who was bowing her head. Hong Ye-ji had no words.
‘What exactly is this about?’
