Revenge Begins: Reincarnated as a Hated Idol!-Chapter 48: Episoden

A week slipped by, and the day for To Your Heart’s next episode arrived.

Sasha settled before her computer, launching AxisPlay and navigating to the latest episode. There still lingered a handful of minutes before the episode commenced airing.

She had been following the show from day one, witnessing the ups and downs in the lives of the characters.

After the last episode, To Your Heart had surpassed 108,000+ in popularity score, becoming the talk of the country.

As a fan, Sasha couldn’t help but brim with exhilaration. She had watched the first season as well, which had previously flown under the radar and wasn’t widely discussed.

On the forum, she was considered a veteran, guiding newcomers through answering questions about the show.

By the sheer volume of threads buzzing on the forum, Sasha could sense the popularity of To Your Heart rising with each episode.

There were even fan theories spreading about the show.

Some were realistic, like:

[I think Nataly will lose her memories in the next episode and forget about Shin. That would make sense considering she was in love with Leo in the first season.]

Others were absurd, such as:

[I bet Leah is not Shin’s real sister. He either adopted her or she is his stepsister with no blood connection. I think we will witness Shin love Leah trope and honestly, I would prefer that.]

Anything was possible, and Sasha didn’t deem it sensible to comment on these fan theories.

However, some invested fans were having long threads of discussions about each of these topics, trying to decode the future path of the show.

These discussions kept them even more pumped up for the next episodes because they let them confirm their predictions and theories.

Some fans even placed bets on their predictions, taking the thrill to the next level.

Meanwhile, sometimes one or two Theon fans would appear in the forum, leaving comments like:

[I watched To Your Heart and it’s so boring. The Insiders is much better in comparison. Real drama fans should watch The Insiders, it’s getting real interesting now that its plot is unfolding.]

Every time such a comment would appear, it would get thrashed in the forum by To Your Heart fans.

Sasha could only shake her head at the foolishness of such fans. They leave a hate comment in the forum dedicated to the fans of that very show you are hating on.

It was then that the screen of her computer brightened with the AxisPlay logo, starting the episode.

After a quick recap of the last episode, scenes of Shin’s fight and Leah and Nataly lying unconscious, the episode resumed.

Shin called for an ambulance, the scene cut, an ambulance’s siren resounded, and the scene cut to the hospital.

The screen revealed Nataly’s closeup, lying on a stretcher in the hospital as her eyes twitched.

Slowly, the camera moved along her arm, revealing Shin holding it between his hands, head down as if praying.

The scene cut back to her face, depicting her eyes opening slowly, accompanied by a frown.

Shin felt her arm twitch, causing him to raise his head to look at her awake countenance.

"Oh, you’re awake." Shin revealed a relieved smile, letting her hand free.

For a while, none of them spoke.

It was only after Nataly struggled to sit that Shin moved to help her.

After she sat, Shin said with a sincere gaze: "Thank you."

Nataly blinked in confusion. "For what?"

"For saving Leah."

"Oh that." Nataly remembered herself protecting unconscious Leah.

"She has been weak from childhood." Shin said with a faint smile. "I don’t know what I’d have done if something happened to her."

For the next few scenes, Shin informed Nataly of what happened after she fell unconscious.

Then the scene cut to the hospital staff running around, the doctors moving from one ward to the other.

"Why are there so many patients?" One of the doctors yelled in frustration.

The screen showed the fighters from last episode, all admitted to the same hospital.

The focus then returned to Shin and Nataly.

"Tell me, is there anything I can do for you? Anything at all." Shin asked with a serious gaze.

Nataly remained silent for a while and then met his gaze with the same intensity as she muttered:

"Love me. I want you to love me as much as you love Leah."

Then she let out a bitter smile and continued with a sigh: "But I know it’s impossible."

"Alright." Shin’s calm voice entered her ears.

Nataly’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at him. "What did you say?"

For the first time, Shin smiled affectionately at her: "I said, ’Alright, I’ll love you as much as I love Leah.’"

Nataly stays dazed momentarily by his smile before jumping into his arms.

Her voiceover comes: "I thought this would be the happiest day of my life, but who knew it would become the saddest instead?"

At that moment, a loud voice pierces the silence in the hospital like a whip:

"Where is he?! Where is that bastard, Shin?!"

As Shin went out to check, he was met with the furious father of Kane, the one he beat up to a pulp in the last episode.

Kane’s father was a powerful prosecutor, and when he saw Shin, he didn’t rush to smack him; instead, he cried.

He walked up to Shin, held his collar, and questioned him with tears streaming down his face: "Why, you bastard? Why did you beat him? Didn’t you guarantee that he would have a safe school life if I agreed to your demands? You said no one would hurt him, so what is this?"

In the remaining episode, Shin was faced with threats as some powerful parents united against him.

The parents gave him a threat: "Leave the city and school; otherwise, anyone who is close to you will face the consequences."

To protect Nataly, he leaves with Leah, changing schools.

The climax ends with Shin becoming a lawyer and returning to see Nataly, only to find out that she was with Leo, leaving him heartbroken.

After the episode, Sasha goes to the social media forum only to be met with crying emojis.

The next day’s popularity scores were a cause for celebration for both To Your Heart and The Insiders.
