Reborn as the Evil K-Drama Mom! (But I'm Indian?!)
Chapter 5: The Villain Mom vs. The Villain Dad – A Battle of Wits!
I sat stiffly in the grand living room, sipping chai like it was holy water.
The entire house was in chaos.
Maids were dusting every surface. The chef was cooking a five-star meal. The butler looked like he was going to pass out.
Why?
Because he was coming home.
Seo Ji-Hwan.
My villain K-drama husband.
The man was richer than God, colder than Antarctica, and scarier than my Indian mother-in-law.
In the original drama, he and the villain mom had a contract marriage, never loved each other, and only stayed together for business reasons.
But now?
Now I was trapped in this fake marriage, and I had no idea how to act around him.
I had to play it cool.
I had to be graceful, elegant, and—
BOOM.
The front doors swung open.
A man stepped in, tall, handsome, and radiating pure power.
His piercing gaze locked onto me.
I froze mid-sip.
Oh.
Oh no.
This man was dangerously hot.

Scene Change – Tension in the Air
Ji-Hwan walked in like a K-drama CEO—slow, intimidating, and ready to ruin my life.
The maids bowed so fast they nearly hit the floor.
I stayed perfectly still.
"You're home early," I said casually.
He narrowed his eyes. "Is that a problem?"
Oof.
Red flag energy.
I smiled sweetly. "No, of course not! Would you like some chai?"
He sat across from me, studying me suspiciously.
"You're acting different."
I laughed nervously. "Different? Pfft. I'm just… happy to see you, darling!"
The room fell silent.
The maids gasped.
The butler dropped a plate.
Even Ji-Hwan looked shocked.
…Crap.
Had the villain mom never called him 'darling' before?!
I quickly backtracked.
"I mean—uh—not 'darling' like romantic! Just… you know… like… uh…"
Ji-Hwan leaned forward, amusement flickering in his cold eyes.
"Are you drunk?"
EXCUSE ME?!
"WHAT?! No! I am a sanskari Indian woman! I don't drink!"
Ji-Hwan raised a brow. "Then why are you acting… strange?"
Because I was a whole new person, but obviously, I couldn't say that.
So I did what any dramatic Indian woman would do.
I fake cried.
"Ji-Hwan," I sniffled, tears welling up, "can't a wife be emotional after not seeing her husband for so long?"
The maids sniffled too.
Ji-Hwan froze.
Ha!
Emotional damage – SUCCESS.
But then, his cold gaze softened.
Oh.
Oh no.
He looked… guilty.
Had I… accidentally made the villain care about me?!

Scene Change – Junho's POV
Junho sat in his car, staring at his phone.
His father was back.
His mother was acting weird.
And now, for some reason, his parents weren't fighting?!
This was not normal.
Not. At. All.
Junho sighed, rubbing his temples.
He had a bad feeling about this.
A very bad feeling.
