"Ha..."
I set the syringe in my hand down and let out a sigh.
The syringe I just used contained medicine—something I frequently relied on.
Since my body wasn't very strong, I had to use it often.
Especially now, as my condition keeps getting worse.
Without this medicine, my body would feel as if it were constantly burning.
I carefully rewrapped the old, yellowed bandage around my arm, just as I had before.
The truth is... I wasn't sick at all in the beginning.
At first, my body was actually quite strong—if not for the fact that...
I somehow ended up in the world of a novel.
A terrible novel.
A novel with no ending because the author abandoned it midway.
That's right... I fell into a novel like that.
But at the very least, I knew the storyline up to the last chapter that the author had written.
That meant I could roughly predict what would happen next.
For now... luckily, the story hadn't started yet.
Because if it had, it might have thrown all of my faintly plan off course.
I turned my gaze toward the mirror in front of me.
A mirror, cracked like a spider's web, reflected my appearance.
A young girl with jet-black, short hair. Her face was quite beautiful
If not for the fact that her arms were covered in bruises, concealed by bandages that hid countless needle marks on her pale skin.
"Han Seoyeon..."
The name of the character I had possessed—Han Seoyeon.
A girl who was a friend of the protagonist, Kim Jihun.
A girl who even had the potential to develop a romantic relationship with him in the novel.
If not for the fact that she died before that could happen.
Han Seoyeon, in the novel, had a severe and worsening illness until, in the end, she took her own life before the story even began.
But now, Han Seoyeon was still alive—because I had taken over her body.
"Ah... still not used to this."
I looked at my reflection in the mirror—the face of Han Seoyeon.
I really wasn't used to seeing a face that wasn't my own.
Before I entered this novel, I was a man.
Even though people often teased me about having a face that looked like a girl's something I found ridiculous
Now that I was actually in Han Seoyeon's body, it felt strange.
I stepped away from the mirror and picked up the cracked pink phone.
A notification popped up on the screen.
[New messages from Kim Jihoon: 4 unread.]
"Ah... is it time already?"
I muttered as I looked at the phone screen.
I had an appointment to see him today.
Because... I was out of money.
I hurried to get ready before heading to the entrance of the place I lived.
"Alright... let's go."
