"Through the Villain's Eyes" invites you into a world where you are the protagonist, a devoted BL manhwa fan who unexpectedly wakes up as the villain in your favorite story. In this second-person narrative, you're thrust into a life-or-death struggl...
The day had unfolded like the pages of a well-scripted drama, each hour introducing new challenges and characters into your life as Kim Ji-Yoon. Now, as the evening approached, the city below began to sparkle with lights, mirroring the stars above. The view from your office was breathtaking, a sea of twinkling lights that seemed to stretch on forever, a stark contrast to the chaos that had become your new reality.
In the quiet of your office, you contemplated the next steps. The real protagonist, the heart of the manhwa's narrative, had yet to make their entrance. Their arrival would undoubtedly set in motion events that could unravel the fabric of the world you now inhabited. You felt a mix of anticipation and dread, knowing that their presence would bring both challenges and opportunities.
You were interrupted by a soft knock on the door. "Come in," you called out, expecting another meeting or perhaps a late-working employee with a question. Instead, the door opened to reveal Lee Hyun-Jae, the Chief Financial Officer. His reputation for shrewd business acumen was only matched by his stoic demeanor. He was a man of few words, but his actions spoke volumes.
"CEO Kim," Hyun-Jae greeted, his voice betraying no emotion. "I've come to discuss the quarterly earnings report before tomorrow's board meeting."
You nodded, gesturing for him to sit. Hyun-Jae was a pillar of the company, his financial strategies often bordering on aggressive, yet always effective. As he laid out the figures, you listened intently, aware that the financial health of Kim Corporation was now your responsibility. The weight of the numbers pressed down on you, a reminder of the immense power and responsibility you now held.
The numbers were solid, profits up from the previous quarter. Yet, as Hyun-Jae spoke, you sensed an undercurrent of urgency in his words. "We need to continue pushing the boundaries, CEO Kim. The market waits for no one," he said, locking eyes with you. His gaze was intense as if he could see through the facade you were desperately trying to maintain.
You leaned forward, your mind racing with ideas. "What if we invest more in research and development? New technologies could give us the edge we need," you suggested, surprising even yourself with the confidence in your voice. The words flowed naturally, as if you had been preparing for this moment your entire life.
Hyun-Jae raised an eyebrow, considering your proposal. "It's a risk, but it could pay off. I'll look into it," he conceded, a hint of respect creeping into his tone. His approval felt like a small victory, a step towards solidifying your place in this world.
As he left, you felt a surge of pride. You were making decisions, influencing the course of the company's future. The role of CEO was becoming more than just a title; it was becoming a part of you. Each decision, each interaction, was a thread weaving you deeper into the fabric of this world.
But the night was not over yet. As you prepared to leave, a final knock echoed through the room. This time, it was Choi Soo-Min, the head of Public Relations. Her presence was always a whirlwind of energy, her ideas often unconventional but brilliant. She was a force of nature, her enthusiasm infectious.
"Soo-Min, what brings you here at this hour?" you asked, intrigued by her unexpected visit. Her timing was impeccable, as if she knew you needed a distraction from the weight of your new responsibilities.
She smiled, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "I have a proposal for a new social initiative. It's bold, but I think it could really put us on the map for corporate responsibility," she explained, laying out her plan. Her passion was palpable, each word filled with conviction.
You listened, impressed by her vision. It was a project that could change the public's perception of the Kim Corporation, painting the company in a philanthropic light. The idea was ambitious, but it had the potential to redefine the company's image.
"Let's do it," you decided, feeling a rush of adrenaline. "It's time Kim Corporation became known for more than just profits." The decision felt right, a step towards creating a legacy that went beyond the bottom line.
Soo-Min's smile widened. "I knew you'd see the potential. I'll get started right away." Her excitement was contagious, filling the room with a sense of possibility.
As the office emptied and silence settled once more, you realized that the day had been a series of tests, each one revealing more about the character you were becoming. The villainous CEO was evolving, influenced by your decisions and the people around you. You were no longer just playing a role; you were shaping a new identity.
Tomorrow would bring the protagonist into the fold, and with them, a new set of challenges. But tonight, you reveled in the small victories, the sense of accomplishment. Each decision, each interaction, was a step towards rewriting your fate.
You were Kim Ji-Yoon, CEO of Kim Corporation, and the story was only just beginning to unfold. The intrigue of new beginnings filled you with a sense of purpose, a determination to shape your destiny in this world beyond the pages.
