I found myself being possessed by the character ‘Riett’, the childhood friend of the male protagonist Evan, from a romance novel I had read before I died. The problem is that in the original story, when the female lead appears, Riett is discarded by Evan like an insignificant side character. “Evan, you jerk.” Knowing that the ending would be tragic if Riett falls in love with the male lead, my relationship with Evan naturally turned into a rivalry and resentment. As expected, the female lead finally appeared, and I thought this tiresome relationship would come to an end… But then, caught up in a conspiracy and forced into exile, I coincidentally met Evan in a place of refuge. “Our fate is truly stubborn, isn’t it, Evan?” “It is.” “All that growling at each other, you must have been fed up too.” “Yeah, it was tiresome.” “…So let’s end this fate, just like that. That’s what you want, too, isn’t it?” “No.” Unexpectedly, Evan, whom I thought would say “Yeah”, responded with an expressionless face. His eyes looked sorrowful for some reason. “You…” “…” “Do you really think we coincidentally met today?” It was a completely unexpected remark.
