'Was I kidnapped by this ugly woman? Fuck! Why do I get in one mess after other? If it wasn't for that damned Eunwoo and Hyunae, I would've had a better life!'
Looking at the wooden door in front of her, Moon Jiwoo walked towards it and turned the knob to open the door. The knob appeared to be stuck, and closing her eyes, Moon Jiwoo used more strength to open the door.
The door opened, and Moon Jiwoo mumbled, "Cheap materials."
Walking into the room, Moon Jiwoo scrunched up her nose at the stench and realized that this was the washroom. Holding her urge to puke, Moon Jiwoo spotted the mirror and stepped towards it.
Mirror appeared to be dirty and blurry, and looking at it, Moon Jiwoo's mood worsened than it already was. Creases formed between both of her eyebrows.
"The old woman keeps things around her as ugly as she looks," Moon Jiwoo spoke out.
Staring at her appearance in the mirror before her, Moon Jiwoo took a step back. Shock was visible on her face, and raising her hand, Moon Jiwoo touched her face.
"N-No, this c-can't be it," Moon Jiwoo stuttered to herself.
Her long, healthy brown hair was replaced with short, messy dull brown hair. Her perfectly proportioned body looked skinny and almost malnourished.
Moon Jiwoo trembled.
In the mirror, it looked like as if someone else was standing in it. This couldn't be her. Although the girl in the mirror wasn't ugly, Moon Jiwoo did not like how she looked.
Moon Jiwoo let out a scream.
"Did that ugly woman do plastic surgery on me when I was out of consciousness? That ugly woman must have been jealous of my beauty!"
Moon Jiwoo let out a frustrated sigh. She wasn't going to leave the woman alone. Stomping towards the door, Moon Jiwoo was ready to put few scars on that woman's face as well.
Moon Jiwoo halted in her steps and looked around. There was no one around her, and taking the voice in her head as a mere hallucination, Moon Jiwoo ignored it.
As she was about to exit the washroom, the same voice said, "Host 002, I'm here— inside your head."
Once again, Moon Jiwoo looked around, and there was no one around her. Feeling angered by the voice, Moon Jiwoo let out a scoff.
"Do you take me for a fool? Show yourself or if I find you, I swear the consequences won't be good! I'm not in the best of the moods currently, so don't irritate me further," Moon Jiwoo spoke out.
After how her life was going downhill recently, Moon Jiwoo had to deal with being kidnapped by an unknown woman and her hair being destroyed. Not only that, she even had her entire body changed.
"No, Host 002. You really can't see me, and I'm inside your mind. You've currently transmigrated into the body of Shin Daerin, and that's why, you look like this. I'm here to guide you if you need help. You can call me Minnie," Minnie spoke out.
Moon Jiwoo started laughing loudly, and mock was present in her tone whilst she spoke out, "Are you crazy? Do you think I'm dumb to believe this rubbish? Who hired you and that old lady? That Hwang Hyunae or that Oh Chaeyoung?"
Minnie sighed.
"Why was I ȧssigned with someone as dumb as you? You can clearly hear the voice coming from your head yet you claim for it to be from around you. You're truly as stupid as the rumours say," Minnie vocalised.
"How stupid are you? This is the last time I'm repeating this. I am inside of your head so I can't show myself!" Minnie stated.
"I'm not stupid! It's you who is stupid, and how can you actually be inside my head? Find a four years old to tell your bullshit!" Moon Jiwoo retorted.
"If it wasn't for the fact that this was my job, I would've directly abandoned you." Minnie sighed again.
"Think about it. You were in your apartment and have slit your wrist. Can anyone just barge into your apartment? Looking at the woman's apartment you can see that she is not rich, and if she had kidnapped you, you would have been tied up.
Back there, the woman even called you Shin Daerin, not Moon Jiwoo. Since that woman wasn't someone rich, she doesn't have the money to do plastic surgery or anything similar on you," Minnie patiently explained.
"You do seem to have a point," Moon Jiwoo spoke out.
Upon a realization, Moon Jiwoo's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Could it be that I was cursed!? I have seen the actresses around me being cursed! Someone must have been jealous of my talents and cursed me!"
"I'm pretty sure they will curse you because you're vexatious— not because they are jealous of you. Moreover, it's you who is jealous of them most of the times," Minnie voiced out.
"Me and jealous of them?" Moon Jiwoo sneered.
"Really? Is that why you tried to destroy Oh Chaeyoung? Weren't you jealous that she had your beloved Ahn Eunwoo's heart," Minnie teased.
Moon Jiwoo shivered as if she had heard something unpleasant.
"Beloved and Ahn Eunwoo? Ew! I just wanted to ruin that bastard and Oh Chaeyoung for playing with me! That bastard took me as his fiancée and dared to be with other girls' behind my back. How would it look if I left him unscathed?"
Moon Jiwoo recalled what happened in the past few days. Her sister, Moon Jimin, had returned from abroad and was surprised when she learned Moon Jiwoo gave up on Ahn Eunwoo, her fiancée.
At that point, Moon Jiwoo's feelings for Eunwoo was purely platonic. However, when Jimin's words struck her pride violently over and over again, Jiwoo decided to take separate the couple.
After all, Ahn Eunwoo did not break the engagement with her yet dared to flirt around with another girl, and that Oh Chaeyoung was shameless for seducing an engaged male.
On top of her sister, Moon Jimin, Hwang Hyunae— someone who took Jiwoo to be her rival— called her a loser multiple times, and since her pride was being stabbed, Moon Jiwoo challenged her that she'll make Ahn Eunwoo fall for her.
She tried plotting, begging, and even acted pitiful. However, at the end, her efforts were fruitless, and as a result, she had spent a night with that Han Minhyun.
Although he didn't hurt her, he was in the same room as her and made her sleep down on the floor. When she was being disobedient, he resorted to tying her up.
In the end, when she tried to cook a meal for Eunwoo in order for him to end up with an upset stomach, Moon Jiwoo tripped and accidentally, slit her wrist with the knife.
"You're pretty stupid with your plots though. However, don't worry. Since you've me to guide you, I'll turn you smarter," Minnie stated.
Moon Jiwoo gulped.
Ignoring Minnie's words, Moon Jiwoo questioned, "Was I really given a second chance?"
