During a reality show, I was asked why I broke up with my first love. The A-list actor next to me, Liam Ford, scoffed coldly. "She said her husband didn't approve, so she couldn't take me as her fifth lover." Me: "..." Did I really say something that ridiculous back then?! 1 During a break from filming, my manager shoved me into a slow-living reality show. Coincidentally, my ex-boyfriend, whom I dated secretly and broke up with three years ago, was also there. During the icebreaker segment, the juicy question came up: "Why did you break up with your first love?" I kept a straight face. "It was so long ago, I can't remember." Beside me, Liam Ford, the movie star, glanced at me expressionlessly and let out a cold laugh. "I remember it quite clearly." "She told me she was a 'System User' who had targeted the wrong capture target, and if she kept dating me, the System would punish her." The host: "?!" The other guests: "??!!" Me: "..." The room went dead silent. The host's eyes widened, bold enough to ask, "And then?" Liam spoke slowly, deliberately. "And then..." I shivered, feeling a chill down my spine. He smirked lazily. "And then, I roleplayed eighteen different personas to date her online, and got dumped every single time." "The reasons included, but were not limited to:" "Allergic to my body hair." "She's a Monkey, I'm a Dragon, so being together would give her a sore throat." "Complained that I was over 25 and 'expired before opening.'" "Suddenly realized she liked girls." "And that her husband at home didn't approve, so she couldn't take me as her fifth lover..." ???!!! So that's why I had all those thirst traps sliding into my DMs every day! The clingy puppy dog calling me "Noona," the pale jock flashing his abs, the sugar daddy throwing cash, the gloomy emo boy dancing in sheer shirts! They had me blushing every day. Turns out it was all YOU?!!! 2 The other guests were trying not to laugh, their faces turning red. I coughed guiltily. "Is it really that exaggerated? No way..." Instantly, the chill on my back intensified. I shut up. The air was dead silent, except for the scrolling comments on the live stream. [Chloe is such a clout chaser because she's not famous.] [Right? Why is she chiming in with that exaggerated, fake expression? She's just trying to imply she has a connection with Liam Ford.] [She should look in the mirror. Does the movie star even know her?] [No wonder her only famous roles are villains. She's just playing herself~] [Just trying to get attention, clown behavior.] [Hahaha, Liam was probably just making stuff up, and only Chloe took it seriously.] I looked everywhere but at him, trying to act like it had nothing to do with me. In reality, I was grinding my teeth. Damn you, Liam Ford! Did you leave the house with your head up your ass today?! Amidst the chaos, the popular starlet Sarah chimed in. She pursed her lips, looking shy. "As for me, things were going well with my first love." "I was just young and immature. We had a small fight, and I made up an excuse to break up. I hope he can forgive me." She lowered her head bashfully after speaking. Avoiding Liam's gaze, her cheeks flushed pink. My eyes darted between them in horror. Are you two a thing now too?! 3 Sarah and Liam had just finished filming a tragic romance drama together. Right now, the big screen was completely taken over by their CP (couple) fans. [Ahhhh! Something's going on between them!] [Get used to it, just a little couple secretly sprinkling sugar~] [I remember Liam was the last guest announced for this show? Damn, he must have heard his wife was here and came running.] [Definitely. That Chloe girl has no tact.] [Stupid and eager, trying to butt in and ruining our shipping moment!] Me: "..." Bullying me because I can't afford bots, huh? Besides, who wants to be associated with them?! The host smiled and asked about the current status of our first loves. I steeled myself and blurted out. "Sadly, he... died." "Yeah, cancer." Liam looked over in disbelief. His jawline tightened. Tsk, I said you're dead, so stay dead. Don't talk! I ignored his dark gaze. Amidst everyone's sympathetic looks, I added fuel to the fire. "I went to see him before he passed. He was skin and bones. Truly died too young..." I feigned grief, wiping away non-existent tears. Actually, I let out a huge sigh of relief. Now no one can accuse me of clout chasing or claiming to be Liam's first love, right?! Using my ex-boyfriend's death to clear my name. Worth it!!! 4 The guests stayed overnight at the villa prepared by the production team. I was assigned a double room. With Sarah. At midnight, she was tossing and turning in bed with a full face of makeup. "Chloe unnie, what should I do?" "Do you think that person will forgive me?" "Should I buy an apology gift~" "I really didn't mean to hurt him." "I didn't expect him to love me so much, to go to such lengths for me..." I responded half-heartedly. My eyes were barely staying open. My head was pounding from the noise. Seeing my voice trailing off, she flashed her phone screen in my eyes. "Chloe unnie, are you asleep?" "Chloe unnie~" AHHHH! I rubbed my hair in frustration. Girl, it's just the two of us now, you don't need to act!!! [Sarah is about to cry, and Chloe has zero reaction. So cold.] [Lol, people who can't empathize with others shouldn't be actors.] [To the people above, I hope you meet a roommate who won't sleep at midnight and insists on talking about her ex.] [Isn't late-night chatting normal?] [Plus, Sarah really has a problem to solve. Who is Chloe showing that face to?] [People like her deserve their first love dying. She's bad luck.] Oh, I forgot. To attract traffic, the show livestreams for 24 hours as a pilot before the main episodes. My haters are working hard, still at it at this hour! If only I could actually hex Liam to death! Save me from this torture!!! While Sarah went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup. I made a break for it. The living room was dim, only the small light in the hallway was on. Just as I was about to grab a bottle of cold water, a voice suddenly appeared right next to me. Exploding in the darkness. "Not sleeping?" "Thinking about where to bury your first love?" I whipped around. Liam was standing behind me like a ghost. He was wearing black pajamas, collar wide open regardless of the cameras, looking lazy. Must have just showered, smelling of warm woody fragrance. Wolves in front, tigers behind! No peace anywhere!!! I snapped. "Can't I just have insomnia?" He nodded seriously. Leaned in close, his voice bewitching. "I turned off the camera in my room." "If you can't sleep, you can come find me." "You'll fall asleep when you're tired..." ???!!! Microphone! The live microphone isn't off!!!! 5 Heart skipped a beat, breath hitched. Blood rushed to my head, scrambling my senses. I frantically covered his mouth. Reached for the mic at my waist. The next second, my palm felt hot. Me: ???!!! Liam Ford, you pervert! Licking me at a time like this?!!! Ewwwwww! I wanted to cry but had no tears. I silently wiped my hand on his clothes... He was suddenly in a good mood. Retracting the arm hovering near my waist, he smirked. "Don't worry, I already turned off your mic." Damn, playing with me? Just because I dumped you 18 times, is this necessary?! "Psycho!!!" I swore and ran. Only to be hooked by the collar and spun around. "What do you want?!" "Weren't you kept awake by the noise?" "I have a single room. Sleep in mine." Huh? So kind? I looked him up and down suspiciously, "Then where do you sleep?" Liam's grin widened. "Why, feeling sorry for me? Want to invite me to your bed?" Wow, who cares about you! Go sleep on the street!!! I angrily broke free. Marched upstairs unapologetically. Slammed his door, climbed into his bed, pulled his duvet over my head. Squatter's rights. Silence at last. The hotel bedding carried a hint of Liam's cologne, like his unique pheromones. Occasionally overpowering the ambient smell, rushing into my nose with every breath... ... Slept deeply. The duvet was yanked off, cold air rushing in. For a moment, I thought I was back in my room. Sarah's chirping voice hovered near my head. "Brother Liam, morning! Time to wake up for missions!!!" Consciousness lagging. I groggily opened my eyes and locked gazes with Sarah, who was holding a handheld camera... ???!!!
