I was possessed and it turned out to be a villainous sub dog?! — 6.11

However, at that time, the review window for The Successor of Arteon, which had just ended, was in complete chaos. There were many readers who were gnashing their teeth and saying that they would not leave the author alone with such a hopeless and helpless ending.

Everyone was shaking with a sense of betrayal, saying that they could ruin L like this in the boys love genre. Up until the part I read. Chase and Abel were an ideal couple, just like in a painting, so I was wondering for a while what happened to make it like this.

Then, I ended up possessing the body of the villain Sub-su in the novel, and after that, so many incidents happened one after another that I couldn’t think about anything for a while.

In fact, I didn’t feel the need to know their ending because I thought that we all, including myself, had come too far for Chase and Abel to become lovers like in the original.

But now I’m really curious about the original ending. Why was the L narrative between Abel, who was an idealistic and affectionate person, and Chase, who would do anything Abel wanted, so harshly criticized?

“Oh. I should go now. I keep getting calls from Lucas. I guess he has some documents that need to be paid off urgently. Have fun, Abel. What the… Don’t fight with Chase too much.”

“Haha. That’s not true. Director, I’m not a kid.”

“Chase isn’t going to answer?”

“…Yes, well.”

Chase’s blunt reply brought me back to my senses. As the director left, only Chase, Abel, and I were left in the hospital room.

An awkward silence flowed uncomfortably.

“…”

“…”

“…”

It was really uncomfortable.

Even though Chase was usually like that, Abel was just keeping his mouth shut and rolling his eyes today. Someone, please speak…

When I was about to ask about the movie business, thinking that I had no choice but to talk about something. Abel, who had been quiet the whole time, suddenly opened his mouth.

“I don’t know if I can say this, but…”

The unusual introduction suggested that the content was not ordinary. Usually, there are no things that can be said with words that start like that. Wouldn’t it be better to just not say anything?

But Abel, who could not possibly understand the voice of my heart, continued to speak in a calm voice.

“Actually, that day, I arrived near the parking lot and saw what happened to Leoruka.”

“…”

Look at that. It’s better not to talk about that.

Chase’s expression changed in an instant, and my mood plummeted. I had let Executive Director Arteon and Vice President Kaisa come and take our baby away, so it was as good as having my dirty work exposed.

Let’s pretend not to know about this, I looked up at Abel with a sour expression, feeling resentful that I had to mention it. Then Abel furrowed his eyebrows and made an embarrassed face.

“I’m sorry for interfering when it’s not my place to. But I think Leoruka should know about this too.”

“What?”

Surprisingly, instead of trying to comfort me, Abel started talking about something else. Chase also seemed puzzled, quietly staring at Abel. In fact, it almost seemed like he was glaring at him.

“The person who came that day is the vice president of the Kaisa Group, right? Leoruka’s stepfather.”

“Yes, that’s right”

The conversation felt like it was going in a strange direction. When I responded in a nonchalant manner, Abel stared at me blankly for a moment before continuing with a cautious expression.

“Before I became an actor, I interned at a securities firm several times while I was in an investment club. There were rumors going around the securities industry at that time.”

“Rumor?”

“Have you ever heard the rumor that the Vice Chairman was involved in the death of the late Chairman Kaiser?”

I felt like the blood was draining from my cheeks.

I don’t remember reading such a story in the original. However, I didn’t think that Abel was talking nonsense. If you just look into it a little bit in the securities company, you can easily find out if such a rumor really existed, and above all, when you look back at the vice president’s actions, it’s hard to dismiss it as nonsense.

I felt Chase’s surprised gaze, but my whole body was stiff and I couldn’t look back at him. Instead, I stared intently at Abel’s neat face.

My mother died a few years ago in a car accident that rolled over due to driver negligence on a rainy day. Does that mean it was a planned accident?

That too, by Vice Chairman Kaiser, who was her second marriage partner?

“That what… I’ve never heard of such a thing. Why are you saying that?”

“Leo, calm down.”

Chase carefully took my hand, but I couldn’t even feel its warmth right now.

If the rumors Abel told were true, the man I was dealing with was the one who instigated my mother’s murder. Although she wasn’t my real mother, but the mother of Leoruka, who was possessed, my whole body trembled down to my fingertips as if I still remembered her.

“That, and.”

Okay, let’s say that’s true. Let’s say that there really was such a rumor, and Abel happened to hear it, and by coincidence, he happened to see me running into the vice president.

“Why are you telling me that?” Is there really a reason to do this? Is he really just a good senior to me? Why is he telling me this now, when I am a pregnant (wo)man hospitalized in a hospital room, and I am treading on thin ice in every situation because of the risk of premature birth?

“I’m sorry, did I say something unnecessary?”

My expression as I asked questioningly must have seemed unusual. Abel gently held my shoulder as if trying to calm me down. But Chase quickly cut him off, I almost panicked as I saw Abel’s hand disappear right before my eyes, but I came to my senses. Chase was urging Abel with a firm tone

“You must not touch a pregnant (wo)man indiscriminately.”

“Huh? Oh, I just feel sorry…”

“There are a ton of microscopic germs on our hands that are invisible to the naked eye.”

But the content of the request was a little strange.

“…I washed my hands and came in, junior. And it seems like you’re also playing with Leoruka’s hand right now.”

“I’m okay. I’m the baby’s father.”

“yes yes…”

Abel looked like he didn’t care. In fact, I felt the same way, but Chase tilted his head at Abel and kept emphasizing his thoughts.

“Baby, I’m your daddy. You know me, don’t you?”

“I know, you told me about a hundred and thirty-four times last time, didn’t you, junior?”

“Yes, just in case you forget.”

“How could I forget, you keep saying this. Even when I sleep, I feel like I’m dreaming about your baby.”

“It’s a black panther. It’s black and it’s a boy.”

“…”

“When you see our child in your dreams, take note. A black panther that looks like me.”

“I’m so grateful…”

As I listened to Chase’s ridiculous nitpicking, I found myself feeling better, I even forgot about the situation for a moment and almost snickered without realizing it.

Anyway, Chase has been bragging to anyone without context, saying that he is the father of the baby, more than once or twice. No wonder every nurse who comes by says that his husband must be so happy to see his baby so adored, and that he is so kind, and they envy him. Every time that happens, I think, he’s not my husband… That’s what it was.

In the end, fortunately or unfortunately, Chase intervened and the frozen atmosphere softened. Abel turned to me and added with an apologetic expression.

“I spoke too hastily when I wasn’t even sure. I’m truly, truly sorry.”

“Yes, well…”

“It’s an excuse, but after seeing the situation that day, it was hard to pretend not to know. If Vice President Kaisa really was a threat to Leoruka, Leoruka would have to know all the accurate information to respond. But Leoruka wasn’t feeling well. so I was too hasty.”

I looked up at Abel, who was sincerely apologizing.

The light brown eyes were faintly shaking. Abel, with his reddish brown hair and smooth white skin, looked innocent and affectionate. Did this person say such things on purpose to torment me?

Have I been overreacting about Abel?

I think I felt excessive hostility towards the main character because he was the original main character. It’s not that I was jealous or anything. I just felt suspicious about the main character’s actions.

Anyway, if the rumors were true, then I needed to know, as Abel said. Even though I had never felt my mother’s embrace, she was still connected to me through my body and blood.
