♡Isekai as a side character♡
Summary: It had been 2 months since you've been isekai as a side character in a school novel and 2 months of embarrassment watching one of the characters simp over the school beauty. After trying to make him open his eyes, all you got was a harsh insult that made you stop trying to interfere with the plot. If he wants to be a simp so bad, than be it.
"You know Hee-su is just using you for money right?" You asked him as he hurriedly tried to grab all the things Hee-su asked him to buy.
"You're just jealous of Hee-su. She's the school beauty and you're....a nobody." He said and storm out of the grocery store with Hee-su's wishes in hand.
You sigh, and grabbed a pack of strawberries to go.
Honestly, how is he smarter than you yet oblivious to the fact? "Love really is blind. "you guessed and handed the cashier your money.
It had been your what? 20th attempt to make him realise that his feelings were one sided in the relationship but that man is too fucking stubborn to understand the gravity of the situation. If you could, you would choke the living heck out of him!
Not only would he end up as poor and homeless, you'll be dragged along as well! Considering that your family works for his which is why you're that adamant on changing his fate.
But you can't really rely on him 100%, so you studied what you could, enough to get a scholarship and work your butt off to save enough money for the future.
Yeap. There is no way your life is going to ruins because of a relentless simp. Gosh, you wish you would've isekai to a different novel instead. This one was no different than your reality, unfortunately. At least, you had luck to secure an apartment!
Why couldn't they just isekai to those manhwa's you've read. The only time you picked up a novel, was because your friend had recommended it but in the end, the storyline all felt childish. Predictable.
Man, your life sucks. This freaking novel is just like your life except now you had someone caring for you, even if they dedicated most of their time to their work.
Plus, at least in this life, you start fresh. Your name not tainted by rumours or laws.
You ran the strawberries under the running water outside the shop and place one in your mouth after it.
Gosh, after your hardwork, you should at least deserve this dessert.
You walked back to his mansion which took you about 30 minutes since he left you there in the shop. Thankfully, the rain didn't make itself known and humiliate you further.
When you got there, you pushed open the doors and was immediately greeted with a pitiful sight. Siyeol, the son of the man your parents work under was happily making dinner while Hee-su was shouting at him to hurry up. Oh well, this kinda reminded you of yourself, considering your obsession with fictional red flag men. But you're still better. At least your delusion remained to yourself.
Pity sip across your face as you watched him hurriedly making food for 3 mouths. Yes, the male lead of the story is also here. You wanted to help him but at his glare, you shrugged off the puty and walked off to go to your room.
Seriously, that man has something against you for real. Even Hee-su was having this imaginary beef with you. Siyeol particularly hates you, mostly throwing hurtful insults and sneers to you whenever Hee-su was around as if trying to say "don't try anything with Eun-na. I'm Hee-su's." Which honestly is gross because you don't find him to be your type anyway.
The male lead to Hee-su, Sieun... He's neutral. Nothing to be talk about. He felt a bit plain in comparison to looks but he's better looking than you.
Hee-su on the other hand would be threatened by you, as if you could pull Siyeol to be yours.
Overall, their relationship is a bit complicated. Hee-su likes Sieun and has expressed her feelings directly to him, all while also being in a relationship with Siyeol, who thinks that as long as he's good to her, Hee-su in the end would choose him.
Which is entirely stupid because, OMG! THAT MAN IS A FUCKING IDIOT. Even as you layed out the facts, he still is in denial. Thank goodness that tomorrow would be your last day here in this mansion.
Guess your hardwork payed off since you managed to rent yourself an apartment for yourself. Your parents on the other hand, is still adamant to stay in the mansion since their work is connected to it. Being the maid and butler and all.
Oh yea. Forgot to mention. Hee-su's father is the driver of Siyeol's family which meant that driving with them to school is impossible. Her father also secretly hates you since you kinda threatened the chances of his daughter being married to Siyeol.
Literally, every single brain of these characters were the size of a rice grain.
You closed your door, locking it and started to pack your clothes for tomorrow. It's the weekend too so school work is postponed until further notice!

When you blinked your eyes open, you yawned and got ready to take a bath when a knock suddenly came from your door.
Weird.
No ones ever knock this early in the morning.
Your parents would usually text you instead, telling you to eat your breakfast.
So this must be someone new to the staff, thinking that you might be one of the members of the house.
You stood up from your bed and walked towards the door opening it. You took a good look at the man standing in front of you and was shock to see Siyeol smiling at you. Smiling at someone who wasn't his family. Smiling at someone who wasn't Hee-su.
What is this guy up to now.
You suppressed a groan and met his eyes. "Good morning Eun-na, I just woke up. Want to have breakfast together?" He asked, looking at you attentively, waiting for your response.
You looked at him up and down. For someone who claimed to be 'just woke up' seemed more well dressed than you.
"What are you doing?" You questioned leaning beside the door, crossing your arms tight. Don't tell me he's got a plan to make Hee-su jealous. Urgh, you don't want to be involve in their affairs. You have far too much problems now to add one into the bowl.
"What am I doing? I'm just inviting you to breakfast of course!" He answered innocently, making you look at him in disgust.
Urgh, you could never get use to him being so... Nice to you.
I take it back. Give me back that asshole. This one seemed like it's possessed by an alien.
You ignored him and walked off, getting to the kitchen to have breakfast there. Since you've always been assigned there.
When you sat down, you looked up in surprise that Siyeol had followed you and was now sitting across from you. "You're acting weird. Did Hee-su put you up to this?" You asked as your mom handed you your plate.
"Young master! What are you doing here?! You should be eating in the dining room with—" He cut your mother off and grabbed himself a plate from her hands.
"It's fine, I wanted to talk with your daughter about something," he explained to which your mother sent a curious and wary glance to you. You nodded at her, telling her it's okay and she went back to the dining room.
"Okay, I don't know who possessed you but you better leave me out of it." You stated and took a bite of the bread on your plate. "And that means no using me either." You added.
The corners of his mouth lifted up to a smile and a laugh came out of him. "You think I wanted to use you?" He asked.
"Like all men do." You whispered under your breath.
"What?"
"You really think I'll fall for this... Act of yours? I'd say it's a real shit show. Face it, if you wanted to make Hee-su jealous, pick another person. I already have enough on my plate to deal with another." You stood up from your chair and walked away, grabbing the last toast in your mouth.
Gosh, did he think you were this dumb?
Forget about him. You were going to get out of this house first.
You walked back towards your room, locked the door and took a shower, trying to calm yourself before you flew that man into space.
Once you were ready, you took out the suitcase you packed last night and called a cab.
You looked out of the room and thankfully, no Siyeol, no Hee-su in sight. You slowly, opened your door and walked out with your suitcase, the cab already waiting in front of the mansion.
You were already mere seconds away from getting out of the mansion until you heard a cough making you flinch. "Where are you going with that much stuff?"
He's not there. He's not there. Ignore him. Nobody's there.
You pushed the door opened, your suitcase behind you as you hurriedly went into the cab and shut the door close. Your suitcase beside you.
"Please drive me to xxxxx apartment complex, thank you." You said to the driver as you two sped off, ignoring the background noises outside.
Thankfully, the driver didn't bother to protest, thinking that you were in some type of toxic relationship he'd seen in one of the hundreds of dramas he's watched.
He looked at your expression from the rear view mirror and the scene exactly depicted from one of his latest drama he's currently watching.
For some reason, he could feel that this won't be his last time seeing you and hopefully, for him it won't. Because he loves where this show is headed.

Hey, why'd you block me?
Where are you going?
I'm sorry for saying those things you. Please come back. I need to explain some things to you.
It's urgent.
Love, please. Just call me at least.
‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵
You looked through the text and tossed your phone to the couch. Gosh, what did he want with you? This act is getting a little too desperate, might I even say real.
It creeps you out.
Love? What a weirdo.
Please don't be possess by a demon. I know I used to play the board but that was only once! When I was eight—
Your phone vibrated against the couch, pulling you out if your thoughts.
You sigh and sat down on the couch, grabbing you phone.
‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

Love, please just tell me where you are.
I'm worried.
*photo attached*
‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵
You click onto the photo when suddenly, you phone shut down and a black screen stared at you. What the hell? Did he send you a virus?
From what you know, you don't think Siyeol has any knowledge regarding this. He's an academic achiever sure, but to be able to send a virus seemed unlikely. Perhaps it was just your phone. It looks ancient but still considerably modern.
You let out a yawn and leaned on the couch. Urgh, you really need to get paid for dealing with this. You let out another yawn as your conscious slowly faded. The knock on your door remained unanswered as it gradually get louder.
✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: *.✦ .* :★. ───✧
You blinked your eyes open as your nose smelled something heavenly. A grumble from your stomach made you sit up from the couch, the blanket falling over to your waist.
Huh?
Since when did you get a blanket—
"Rise and shine princess." A familiar voice peak through making you jump away.
You landed on the ground with a thud, landing on you butt making you groan. Ah, you didn't expect a home invasion this early. Couldn't they have pick a different day? I mean you just move here!
A hand landed on you shoulder making you flinch.
I'm too young to die!
"Y/N, love, are you alright?" You heard the voice again, this time, loud and clearly.
You turned to him, shock.
SIYEOL?
You pushed him away from you. Standing up and backing away from him. You looked at him up and down, and shout at him.
"What the hell? How did you know where I was? How did you get in?" You questions remained unanswered as he stood up, closing in on you.
Oh brotha. Your doomed.
You gulped as your eyes tried to find a way to get away from him but as if predicting your motive, he grabbed both of your shoulders, making you turned your attention back to him.
"Y/N—"
You didn't let him finish and punched him directly on the face.
"Okay, I deserved that." He said making you tilt your head in confusion. You watched the bruise forming on his cheeks instead of meeting his intensive gaze.
"Look at me please, " he pleaded to you.
"What are you doing here Siyeol?" You questioned meeting his gaze. "I'm tired of hearing your insults, couldn't you just leave me alone?" You voice start to waver but you remained composed either way.
"No—not after everything we've been through together. Listen, there's going to be an apocalypse, happening in a month from now, and we need to take shelter. " He said as his hand cradled your cheek. His thumb brushing over your lips.
Woah man. A bit bold there. Wait, apocalypse? What? From what you know, no apocalypse was mention in anyway until the end of the novel.
This guy must be nuts.
"Do you need a doctor? You look like you need one—I'm going to call a doctor for you." You saw an opening and went through to get your phone.
The novel didn't mention the main character had loose screws on his head. This must've been a bug in the story due to your presence. But why now?
You hold your phone to your ear and waited until his family doctor pick up. At the last ring, the doctor finally answered but the phone was no longer in your hands.
"Ah, sorry sir, Y/N here got worried after I fainted a few minutes ago, but I'm fine now. Sorry to bother you." He ended the call and threw your phone to couch.
"Y/N..."
"How do you know that name?" Your eyes widened in disbelief and took a step towards him. "How much do you know about me?"
"More than you know yourself."
