Chapter 108 < Why are you doing this to me? >

“What a mess.”

How long did our mama’s boy Yoo Yeon Seo look for his mother?

He tried to make light of the situation, but his body didn’t cooperate. His limbs trembled and he felt chills. He had been annoyed by his ears lately. He didn’t know this was the cause. He forced himself to think of something else and hoped this would pass.

[Yeon Seo.]

“Why!”

He shouted at the hallucination that came again. The spacious house echoed slightly. And of course, there was no answer. Something hot surged up from his chest. Was it because he didn’t vomit enough blood, or was it his emotions boiling over? He started to get confused.

‘Why are they doing this to me...’

Yoo Yeon Seo collapsed on the floor and covered his ears tightly. Soon, he banged his head on the floor and curled up. He didn’t intend to do that, but it was natural, like a habit. He wondered if it was something the original did often.

[Why did you do that.]

“...What do you mean.”

Why are you doing this to me? You’ve been tormenting me all this time.

[It’s your fault.]

What do you mean, what’s my fault?

Even though he crouched and plugged his ears, the voice whispered in his ear as if it was close. He took a deep breath. He said deep breath, but he gasped and soon his breath stopped. He felt like he would be swept away by the original’s emotions.

“What the hell...”

After a few minutes, the ringing in his head that felt like it would pierce his brain disappeared, and the thing hanging from the chandelier was gone. He looked around the house with his strength drained.

‘Shit.’

And he passed out.

In the end, Yoo Yeon Seo, who had lost consciousness on the living room floor, greeted the morning in that state.

“You look bad.”

“Oh, I’m just a bit tired.”

He got in the car of his brother who came to pick him up as usual and pressed his temples. As the memory synchronization progressed, he saw the illusion more often, but he was fine if he endured that time. But now he had a new problem that he didn’t expect, and he had a headache.

‘I have to go to that house again...’

He realized that this unknown trembling would get worse when he was with his family. He was sure that the original Yoo Yeon Seo was always on edge when he met his family, and that was why he didn’t participate much in family gatherings.

‘But it wasn’t this bad...’

No matter how much he hated his family knowing things, he would have gone to the hospital if it was this serious.

<As I told you before, I think it’s because of the collision between the owner and the real Yeon Seo that causes the reaction in the body.>

So these symptoms like syncope are because of the collision between the soul and the body, right...

‘Ah, I chose the wrong body.’

It wasn’t like I had a choice anyway... He sighed and looked out the window. Yoo Eunho glanced at his brother and casually started a conversation.

“You went to the hospital, right?”

“How did you know?”

“...I heard it when I was getting a checkup.”

He actually had his secretary investigate, but Yoo Eunho lied without changing his expression. Yoo Yeon Seo didn’t doubt it. Well, office workers had health checkups every year.

[If it’s you, sir... There was no problem. You had anemia, but it wasn’t serious.]

[But the person who looked like an agent had a bad expression. Are you okay now?]

Nothing came up in the test, but what was there for Lim Seung-hyun to worry about so much... Yoo Eun-ho frowned.

“It was nothing.”

“Really?”

Yoo Eun-ho sighed softly as he parked the car at his grandfather’s house. He stared at his brother before getting out of the car.

“What is it?”

“...”

“Anything else to say?”

Didn’t you tell me to behave properly?

It was totally different from the attitude he had when he first came to this body. What’s wrong? He felt a little disappointed.

“Happy New Year.”

Chairman Yoo looked at the back of his second grandson who was greeting his relatives and remembered something he had forgotten. But that guy, is his memory coming back?

Chairman Yoo scrutinized Yoo Yeon Seo’s appearance. Come to think of it, his face had lost a lot of weight. He wouldn’t be going back to his old self, would he?

‘He’s so well-behaved, could it be...’

He thought it wouldn’t be the case and ignored the problem for now. He didn’t want the peace between the family to break, after all.

The whole family gathered and ate rice cake soup. Other chaebol families valued ancestral rites and met dozens of times a year, but Juseong reduced the rites after Lee Heeseo’s accident. Even if they had any, they only went to Seonsan where their ancestors were buried and gave a brief greeting and came back.

“Congratulations on your promotion to executive director, Eunho.”

“Thank you.”

They briefly exchanged news. Yu Eunho’s promotion news made Yu Geonmin’s body twitch and he looked eager to brag. But he returned to being a stern vice chairman under Chairman Yoo’s sharp gaze.

“Yeon Seo, you’ve taken on a big job, haven’t you? You must be busy.”

“What can I do, I have someone who does everything for me.”

“But you’ve been working hard at the company lately, right? That’s why your face is half gone.”

They all knew that his complexion was not good. Yoo Yeon Seo brushed it off with a casual lie.

“Well, yeah. I guess it’s because of the work’s influence.”

“Oh, right. I saw somewhere that actors have a hard time getting out of immersion, right?”

“Yes, that’s it.”

Yeah, he had immersed himself in the original’s emotions. So that he couldn’t get out of it. He put his trembling hand under the table again.

“Then are you only doing company work? I liked your acting, Yeon Seo.”

“Well, I’m looking for a work, but... I can’t find anything I like.”

Yoo Yeon Seo glanced at Chairman Yoo. Seeing that he had no reaction, he probably wouldn’t mind if he continued acting. Choi Yujin thought for a while and asked Yoo Yeon Seo casually.

“Can’t you find a synopsis you like?”

“Yes.”

“Then we should have an event.”

“An event?”

“Yeah, it’s called ‘Night of Film’.”

As they heard some interesting news from a different field than what they were doing, the family members also forgot what they were talking about and focused on Choi Yoojin’s words.

“At the Busan International Film Festival, there’s something called ‘Night of the Filmmakers’ that only industry insiders can enter. We made ours based on that.”

“What do they do there?”

“It’s a networking and business event for the industry people. They pitch what they’re planning to do and get investment funding...”

Park Sunwoo’s voice was heard muttering, “I want to go too...”

‘Night of Film’, hosted by JSENM, sends a few invitations per production company and doesn’t let anyone in. The actors who participate are not just anyone, but either those who are close to the investors or high-level actors, or those who get invitations through their agencies.

“It’ll be a lot of fun. It’s been two years since we did it last time, right?”

“I didn’t know there was such an event...”

“You were invited every year.”

“Really?”

And Yoo Yeon Seo was in a position where she could enter even without an invitation.

“You hated crowded places. But just in case, I reserved a seat for you. We have to make it bigger than before. I’ll also brag about our son.”

“Haha, more than here?”

“Why?”

At this rate, he would be more notorious than his father for showing off... Anyway, it was good news. He turned his head back to the front with a happy smile, but he stiffened when he saw the figure in front of him.

“What’s wrong?”

“...Excuse me for a moment.”

He jumped up and ran out of the restaurant.
