“When you smile, you are very beautiful. Laugh more. Don't let President Mark influence you too much. Some people are heartbroken.”
Duncan Hiddleston lay next to Phedra Elizabeth, holding Phedra Elizabeth in her lap, the room was quite cold with the wind coming from the window, so Phedra Elizabeth hugged Duncan Hiddleston back.
“You want a hug?”
     Phedra Elizabeth hugged Duncan Hiddleston tightly. Duncan Hiddleston replied cheerfully. The next morning, Phedra Elizabeth just woke up to find herself hugging Duncan Hiddleston, a little surprised, letting go, trying to get her hands off Duncan Hiddleston's body and gently leave. Duncan Hiddleston hugged Phedra Elizabeth back.
"It's still early... You should sleep a little longer."
“I want to get up. Is it morning already." Phedra Elizabeth shyly pushed Duncan Hiddleston away.
“It's still very early. Why are you up so early?"
“I want to go out and get some fresh air.”
“So… You come with me. I also want to breathe. The weather outside is very good. I will take you to a very interesting place. Will you go?"
"Where is that. I don't belong here."
“That's why I need you here. Go get changed. I took myself to breakfast first. The food here is very good.”
"Let me change first."
     Phedra Elizabeth went in to brush her teeth, wash her face, and generally clean the body of an ordinary person. Suddenly Duncan Hiddleston opened the door and stepped inside.
“What did you come here for? Is this the girls' room?"
“Here is a shared room that does not separate rooms for men and women. Why do you have to worry that I have decided to marry you, you don't have to worry about these things."
"You don't want to marry me. What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Starting today, I decided to pursue you. I love you, this is the truth. I want to be your husband. I will pursue you until you agree.”
“What did you say? Go out for me. If you're still here talking nonsense, don't blame me."
"I can help you clean your body."
“Get out now. I don't like the couple here. Are you listening?" Phedra Elizabeth lost her patience.
"I went out to prepare breakfast for you." Duncan Hiddleston walked away sadly, gently closing the door.
     Phedra Elizabeth looked at herself in the mirror.
“What are you doing? Want to die? Before I get angry, you'd do the right thing. Never do something so extreme.”
“Don't think I'm that stupid, okay? Everything around the male lead works according to the original, even the person I like, I can't change even though he's just a minor supporting character let alone the male lead. Don't make fun of others."
     Phedra Elizabeth looked at herself in front of the mirror and sighed, trying to regain her composure. She walked out and went down to the dining room. Seeing Duncan Hiddleston fidgeting in the kitchen, she lowered herself.
“Isn't this a hotel? Why self-serve?"
"..." Duncan Hiddleston didn't reply.
“Now that I mention it, I have not seen a staff member come to serve since yesterday, not even a tourist who has come here. Is that what you want to do to me?”
“…” Duncan Hiddleston turned, shaking his head.
“You have no intention of doing anything. So why don't you tell me, then?"
"Can you answer one question for me?"
“You answer me first. Why do I always ask you questions every time I ask you?"
"This resort covers the whole area, so no one will come to bother you, and no one will come to serve you, only I will serve you."
“How much does it cost? I can share it with you. There is no need to carry it alone.”
“You want to help me shoulder the payment when renting this whole resort?”
"Right. How can you bear the disadvantage?”
“Then answer me honestly and tell me one thing. How much love does the way You address me specifically for you have in it?"
"Just a question?"
“Is it a trap? It's just plain weird. Should I be careful with my answer? Anyway, I openly let the male lead know that I no longer have feelings for him, but will he put my answer in his heart?" Phedra Elizabeth raised her eyelashes.
“The male lead's eyes are very real. Even if I don't understand it, I can see that I'm just avoiding it. From the time he changed until now, his eyes have always been waiting for something, more or less, I find it is only temporary and cannot be accepted."
“My heart is not placed on the male lead and I also understand that it should not be placed on the male lead. The original is something that can't be changed, once the female lead appears and does the real thing... Finally, the male lead belongs to her."
“But if now the male lead hears the word 'love' from his mouth, am I a female villain? Am I joking with the male lead's feelings? Although I like villains, there are times when I don't like to get too involved in troublesome things like this. I just want to return to the real world as soon as possible. Next to someone who doesn't love you or just has a little feeling, then it feels strange to change. On the contrary, my heart is not in him, the more I move forward, the more uncomfortable I feel even though I know something like this will happen, but I can't predict it... What if... What if time made me forget Theodore Mark and make me like the male lead so I'll end up hurting in the end?"
"You don't want to answer that. This question is too difficult.” Duncan Hiddleston smiled brightly.
"Right. It is better not to answer. It's up to the male lead to think what he wants to think. At the moment, the person next to him may be only me, but later when the heroine wants to steal his heart, she says... I can't take it back... I can only endure the battle." Phedra Elizabeth pondered the matter.
“…” Phedra Elizabeth was silent.
