The Male Lead’s Boyfriend is Obsessed With Me - Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Come to think of it, it was my first time seeing him during the day.

Wearing a flowing, loosely-fitted white silk shirt, Yu-gyeom resembled the sunlight itself.

In particular, the length of his hair that seemed to pass through his eyelashes and reflect the sunlight made it all the more so.

I thought that his hair color would be great under the moonlight. But now that I saw it, it seemed it was also great under the afternoon sun.

“You like this?”

Yu-gyeom held over his face the mask he had taken from my hand.

The mask, which I had thought was funny, covered his face. However the effect wasn’t what I expected. It was too charming, and I looked at him as if I was possessed.

He smiled with lips as red as the lace on the mask.

Yu-gyeom stared at me as if he were urging me to answer. His eyes over the mask creased beautifully.

“Why are you so surprised?”

I blinked and slowly lowered my hands to cover my ears.

I was unaware of my stupidly gaping mouth. After all, Yu-gyeom in my imagination was still the main character in the noir genre.

I think I associated him with the moon without realizing it.

Standing under the sunlight, he looked even more ethereal.

“You asked me to come every day.”

“…….”

“I should see you every day.”

It had been exactly 12 hours since I first met him.

I didn’t have the time or any other way so I just chose to say that.

First of all, if it wasn’t this way, I’d have to find another way, so if it was going to fail, it would be better to do it sooner.

But I didn’t expect him to show up right away like this.

“…I didn’t think you would do it.”

When I answered honestly, Yu-gyeom smiled again and gave me his hand. The hand that tucked my hair behind my ears was soft but cold.

“I guess it wasn’t a lie when you said you get along well with your brother?”

What he asked was more surprising than him standing in front of me now.

“I was warned clearly. If I touch you, I’d die.”

I was dazed for a moment.

Baekcheon? Baek Hawon said that? It can’t be true.

“My brother cares about me.”

For the moment, I smiled nonchalantly as if I knew it would happen. I emphasized my relationship with Baek Hawon once again.

Originally, it went without saying the relationship between Cha Yeonbyeol and Baek Hawon was bad, but it seemed to have gotten worse even after I entered this body; nothing had improved.

However, Yu-gyeom and Lee Chan seemed to be mistaken that Baek Hawon was angry because of me.

I wanted to applaud their reasoning.

Yu-gyeom tied the red string at the end of the mask behind his head. His pale skin and the mask’s red color looked especially good together.

“Do I look good this way?”

I almost lost my confidence seeing that smile like a flower blooming in spring, even though I knew it wasn’t sincere.

“Are you crazy?”

Thud, thud!

Lee Chan screamed and banged his fist on the desk.

“I was too late. Too late again!”

I watched compassionately as Lee Chan slammed the desk with his fist.

The computer screen was filled with the word WARNING! in red letters.

“How can they erase all traces when they’re definitely caught in a trap?”

Someone seemed to have tried to access Lee Chan’s laptop. But there was no trace left.

Lee Chan used his brain mainly to get information from enemies’ servers.

In particular, he deliberately placed traps in cyberspace where fake information was exposed, inducing hackers’ attacks, and then analyzing them until the next attack. It was admirable.

It was a strange sight that he, who even entered Utopia with that talent, had an opponent who made him this way.

“You were hacked this time?”

As Yu-gyeom laughed and teased Lee Chan, he pulled out the wooden block and the tower block quickly fell.

“Oh! I win!”

Every day or night, Yu-gyeom always stopped by my room once a day and stayed for up to two hours to play a game with me.

I only asked him so that he could show up. The winner will be able to ask questions and the loser needs to answer honestly. But yesterday and the day before, Yu-gyeom had not won.

“You really won’t let me go?”

“No way.”

I looked into Yu-gyeom’s eyes confidently, but I couldn’t read anything.

I put my chin on my knee and wondered what I should ask him.

To put it bluntly, this was similar to a fan meeting, but I felt bitter about not being able to ask what I wanted to ask comfortably.

The events had already passed, so this was a big chance for me.

I didn’t know if Yu-gyeom would answer honestly though.

But that also didn’t mean I could forthrightly ask my question.

“…Save it for later?”

“Okay then.”

After thinking about it, I asked while looking into Yu-gyeom’s eyes. He smiled and nodded.

Rubbing his eyes, he stood up.

I couldn’t believe what I saw even if he talked lightly and laughed while playing the game.

Cha Yeonbyeol in the original story could not be playing this game with Yu-gyeom, but I am also not sure that anything will change.

“Good night, princess.”

Yu-gyeom said in a soft voice.

I’d told him several times not to call me that because it’s cheesy, but it didn’t work, and I’d already given up.

Lee Chan also cleaned his messy desk and stood up to leave with him.

“Be nice.”

Lee Chan said, holding the laptop in both hands while staring at me.

These were the words he used to scold me whenever he left me alone.

I used to be filled with the spirit of rebellion.

“Yes, yes.”

I smiled broadly and waved my hand.

Lee Chan turned around suspiciously and followed Yu-gyeom out of the room. The room was left with silence.

Instantly, my spirit of rebellion was gone, leaving only lethargy in its place.

The overly peaceful and comfortable environment made me forget that I had been kidnapped.

It must be Yu-gyeom’s way of dealing with people. He soothed them with sweet words, and eventually let them move as they wanted.

I’m sure it’s a trick.

He must’ve hoped that I would be satisfied with the current situation where I’m not lacking anything and stay in this place.

“……”

After Yu-gyeom and Lee Chan left, I lay on the sofa for a long time, staring at the ceiling.

Whenever I was alone, I searched everywhere in the room, and I knew the structure clearly even if I closed my eyes.

It occurred to me that I might know the room here better than the room in the world where I used to live.

But still, due to the meticulous nature of Lee Chan and Yu-gyeom, there was nothing that I could do.

“Should I get some sleep?”

I couldn’t sleep well for a few days, so I felt tired.

As I crawled toward the bed, something caught at my feet.

“Huh?”

It was the unicorn mask that had made me laugh. When I was about to take the mask…

I turned my head and stared at the door.

What was that sound?

The silence that came back somehow felt sinister.

The air surrounding me sharpened, as if something was about to happen.

If it was Yu-gyeom or Lee Chan, there was no way they would take this long to reveal themselves.

I carefully approached the door and put my ear to the door.

“A woman? There’s a woman? Is it once or twice that he’s been hanging around with a girl?”

“I don’t think she’s like that. Yu-gyeom doesn’t visit often but it’s suspicious that Lee Chan comes every morning and goes out at night.”

It was a voice I’d heard before. Yuhwa, wasn’t it?

“I haven’t seen anything like this in three months. I haven’t seen anyone come in or go out, but I’m sure it has something to do with Baekcheon.”

“The plan is going well, right?”

“Yes. It looks like they were going to join the poker game in the basement as scheduled.”

“Ugh. Did they lock the door again? Give me the key.”

“I don’t have one, wait a minute…”

I didn’t have time to listen any more. I rushed to find a place to hide myself.

Due to the open structure, once the door was opened, they couldn’t avoid looking at me unless I became an invisible person.

There was only one place to hide completely, the secret space where I first woke up.

‘Please, please!’

The objects I bumped into fell to the floor, but there was no time to worry.

Where was it?

‘It must be somewhere clichéd.’

I had been putting it off thinking, ‘No way,’ but in the end, there was only one thing that came to mind.

While desperately looking through the bookshelf, my eyes were focused on the words I was looking for. I finally found it.

Romeo and Juliet.

In desperation, I took the book from the bookcase and waited for the wall to open.

“……”

I thought something was wrong, so I put the book back in and took it out, but surprisingly nothing happened.

Come on!

This isn’t right. Was it not this book?

This is crazy. I grabbed my hair and threw the book away.

The corner of the book crashed and fell somewhere against the picture on the wall.

“……?”

I thought the painting might fall because it hit so hard, but with a rattling sound, the wall on the other side of the bookcase turned like a revolving door.

At the same time, the main door opened roughly with the sound of a key.
