And then I realized, I didn’t even have my cellphone with me.
The thought of being trapped alone in the basement without Jae Ha made me dizzy.
He looked down at me and spoke softly.
“Just stand here. I’ll be right back.”
Jae Ha, having said that, picked up his phone and made a call.
“Ah, Secretary Han.”
The desperate voice of Secretary Han looking for him was unmistakably heard through the receiver.
Jae Ha gestured for me not to worry and approached the switch on the wall.
“We’re on the second basement floor. Yeo Jin, what did you say this place was?”
Asking me while moving away, I yelled back at him.
“The second set!”
“We’re trapped in the second set. Get down here quickly.”
He shone the light from his phone towards the wall again and turned back to me.
Then, he loudly asked me from a distance.
“Which one should I press? There are quite a few buttons.”
“It’s my first time here, too. Try pressing any of them.”
Since it was my first time in this set, I hesitated and replied.
I thought at least one of the many lighting devices installed here would turn on.
“It’s on. How is it? Too bright?”
And it happened in an instant.
With a flickering sound, an intense flash of light shot before my eyes.
It just so happened that a large lighting device right in front of me turned on.
‘What, what is this? I can’t even open my eyes…’
I squinted my eyes.
The strong light pouring towards me brought back the horrifying memories of that day I had forgotten.
A black car charging at me with full force in front of the courthouse.
I could feel the surrounding noise and even the air touching my skin so vividly.
As if I had returned to that place right before the regression.
‘Ah, no…!’
Screech!
The sound of tires screeching from an emergency stop before the collision was vividly heard.
I was hit by this car and died.
Despite knowing it was an illusion, the scene was so vivid that I instinctively blocked my front.
“No, don’t come! Ah, ugh.”
My breath gradually became shallow,
and just before the collision, the dazzling flash that had been poured onto me made it hard to breathe.
“Ah. Ugh, ah.”
I slumped down as if collapsing on the spot.
In an instant, my entire body was soaked in cold sweat.
‘I can’t… I can’t breathe…’
My mind became hazy.
No matter how wide I opened my mouth, I couldn’t breathe. I clutched my chest, feeling so suffocated.
“Yoon Yeo Jin!”
Hearing his voice, I gasped for air.
At that moment, Jae Ha, who had sensed something strange, rushed to me.
“What’s wrong with you! When did this start? Do you have any illness?”
I lowered my head to him, who had approached before I knew it.
Bent over as if to touch the ground, I struggled to point at the light.
“Ugh. Ah. The light… Suddenly, I can’t breathe…”
He quickly blocked the light.
I thought it would be fine if I didn’t look at the light…
Even with his actions, the dazzling light that seeped through did not easily subside.
“Damn it! This will cause hyperventilation. Yeo Jin, pull yourself together!”
The voice of Jae Ha, who was still holding my gasping shoulders, faded away.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
