I woke up because of the loud noise of two people fighting over something.

"Let me in! I'll kill that.

"John, calm down! Leon is still sleeping!"

Ugh. Why is it so noisy? Did my neighbors fight again? If only I could throw a knife at them! They are always fighting every single day!

Hmm... I touched my eyes and opened them slowly while still yawning.

I gulped my saliva when I saw a man still sleeping beside me. I mean, he is wearing tops. He is sleeping soundly, and he is not even bothered by the scenes that are happening outside the room.

Argh. So, yesterday wasn't a dream at all?

I'm in that novel!

I got up and looked around. I saw a big mirror in the corner of the room. I almost could stand up so I could look at myself from there, but I went to the bed again and laid myself down.

F*ck! I forgot about the chains!

I hate this. I hate being here! I want to go home! I hate being here!

I put my fist on my face. I think I will cry again, but I can't even control these overwhelming emotions anymore.

I'm scared. If yesterday I almost made a party for joy, now I am so scared to death.

"John, relax! We will wake up Leon, okay? You can't go into his room right now!" The familiar voice of a man spoke.

My eyebrows met with confusion. There is a fight going on outside. I don't know what's going on, and it looks like Leon is still not planning to wake up right now.

I hope he does not wake up forever.

Leon. Leon. . . Who are you, again? The novel HTMAB was cut off during a hiatus.

I massage my senses. Think! Think! Who is he? What's his role? Maybe he is one of the villains in the story!

"Leon, I'm begging you! Don't do this to me!"

It is like thunder strikes me in surprise when I suddenly remember those lines. That's right, Abeleon was one of the male leads.

Since the novel is suddenly on hiatus, I'm not sure who will be the partner of Jihoon, the main character, and one of the candidates is none other than Leon.

Sh*t! That Leon-if I recall it right the most cold yet secretly obsessive type.

I shivered.

I sit on the bed and stare at the person beside me. He is handsome, like I read in the novel. I didn't even expect that he would be more handsome in person.

This man is a walking red flag in the novel, but he has a lot of supporters just because he is a hot and handsome character in the novel. Well, I am one of those supporters.

Now that I've slept with him, it feels weird and scary as hell. I remembered how many people he killed for petty reasons.

"John! I said stop!"

The voice outside is becoming louder and louder, and it looks like it is coming nearer too.

What should I do? Should I wake up the person beside me? Should I hide under the blanket? Or should I just act like a dead person now?

I want to cry in my situation!

"You're up."

I almost yelled in surprise when I heard his deep and hoarse voice, indicating that he had just woken up.

Ahaha, good morning!" I didn't even say the words I wanted to say because of nervousness.

Should I ask him more about yesterday? Or should I just ask him what's happening right now?

I don't even have an idea what part of the novel I entered. Starting point? Prologue? Climax? Or before the novel could even start?

Not that I could ask him directly about that.

"John!"

The door suddenly opened. My instinct pushed me to hide under the blanket. I don't want to involve myself in any of their troubles!

You, Leon!" One of the deep voices suddenly spoke from nearby. A few steps followed by it.

Leon is still lying on the bed. He almost looks like a kind person posing on the bed. Tsk!

"John, what pleasure do I own?" Leon's hoarse voice answered calmly, and I heard him yawn.

"Why have you not even bothered to give me a letter about the things that are happening to you? You just came back from the war, and I found out that it's been months since you've been here!" He shouted. Why did you not tell me?

I can't see clearly who is talking. I just think it is John who has been wanting to enter the room since earlier.

"There's no need to tell you, John."

Wow. What a jerk, Leon.

"No need! I'm your fiance! I have the right to know!"

Wha- fiance!? Does Leon have a fiancé? Wait, did the novel mention this? I do not remember anymore because I have already read a lot! There is not even a full story about Leon because, just like I said before, he is the type of person who prefers to be mysterious in the novel.

Fiance? What the fricking hell? Are you kidding me? He has one, but he forces me to sleep with him in the same bed!

Boy, you better break up with this dude. A walking red flag indeed.

"Shut up. It's been a long time since we're over, John," Leon stated without even showing a bit of emotion in his voice.

I yelled in surprise when my body suddenly went up. The blanket is still wrapped around me. That's why I still do not see anything. All I know is that Leon is the one who is carrying me now.

"Break up? What the hell are you talking about? Also, who's that you're carrying? Mistress?

I covered my two ears because the voice of John is much louder now.

Tss. If I were him, I would already slap this person and kick him in his privates to hurt him.

But setting the jokes aside, I feel sorry for him. Leon is a war hero, and I think the war is over early this time, just like he said, he was already back home before, but he didn't tell anyone.

For what? What is his reason? Also, I think the novel is not starting yet because, based on what I remember, Leon was a retired hero when he met Jihoon.

Oh, this?" I feel the grip of Leon suddenly tightens. "Someone special," he continued.

Special? Is he joking? Being bought by 600 million people is indeed special.

You jerk!

I moved so I could finally be free from his grip, but I failed to do my part. I almost spoke, but I heard someone running away and the closing sound of the door.

Let me go!

"Shh."

I closed my eyes when I saw the light blinding me. I didn't notice that he took the blanket that was covering me!

"Let's take a bath together." He smiled.

Holy Mother of Christ! The smile that I thought would make him more handsome just made him look more like a serial killer who was planning to kill me!

"T-together? No! Why would I-I!?" He didn't listen to my words, and we just went straight to the bathroom.

Wait, why is there a pool in the bathroom? Is he this rich?

"Nooo!" I shouted, but before I could even speak another word, he dropped me off.

I sighed in relief when I noticed that the water was not that deep! I don't know how to swim anyway. Is he planning to kill me all along? Or does he want to have an experiment with me? That would be possible since he said that my kind didn't exist here.

"Anong iniisip mo?" He snapped my forehead. I didn't realize that he was standing beside me now.

"Waah! Curse you! You're naked!" I push him away, but he just pulls me closer to him.

No! No! Let me go! Let me go, you pervert!

"Relax, I won't do anything. We're just going to bathe," he whispered in my ears.

I can't push him away again because he's holding my waist! Even if I'm wearing a big polo, I'm still not comfortable being here.

"You're shaking." He chuckled.

"Relax, I just want to know how a woman showers."

What? Pwe!

"Why aren't you doing anything?"

"W-what?" I looked in his direction, which was standing at my back, but that was the wrong move! His face was too close, so I immediately tore my gaze away.

Maybe I'm going crazy!

"I said I wanted to see you clean yourself," he said.

B-but... Can I say no? I don't want it! I don't want to follow him!

Then again, what can I do when I'm trapped here? And I can't even look at him! He's fully naked behind me!

I want to bump my head against the bricks right now.

"Go on, I'm willing to wait."

Gaah! Stop whispering in my ear already! Okay, fine. I will follow him. Tsk!

In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit Amen.

"You're doing weird things again."

Shut up. I'm praying."

"Really?"

Yes, really! Because there is a person at my back.

But, wait. . . Is it just my hallucination and that thing is sticking in my thighs?

Just a hallucination, right? Right? Please don't let it be true. This is dangerous.

I gulped in nervousness. I can feel it. He's hard.
