"This Isn't Heaven, Right?" I muttered.
I knew something was wrong the moment I opened my eyes and saw…
cinematic lighting.
Not sunlight.
Not a lamp.
Cinematic. Lighting.
Like some director was holding a reflector panel above my face.
I sat up slowly, my brain still loading like a laggy phone. "…Where the hell am I?"
Cherry blossoms drifted across the sky. Students walked by in perfectly timed pairs. Every stranger was at least an 8/10. And worst of all—
Everyone had that sparkly, shoujo-filter glow.
I froze.
"No way. NoWAY. Don't tell me I got Isekai'd into a Y/N wattpad world—"
Then something bluish suddenly Pop up above my head.
────────────────────────
[SYSTEM ACTIVATED]
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE BEEN REINCARNATED INTO 'Y/N' UNIVERSE!
CURRENT ROLE: RANDOM SIDE CHARACTER #14
OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE.
────────────────────────
I stared at the floating screen.
"…Side character? Fourteen?? Not even three??? What the fuck!" I shouted.
Before I could process, a voice behind me chirped sweetly.
It was the classic wattpad Y/N voice— soft, gentle, too innocent to exist...
"Um… excuse me? Are you okay? You've been staring at the sky for ten whole minutes…"
I slowly turned around.
And saw her. The Y/N.
Bright eyes. Perfect hair. Aura of A MAIN CHARACTER/plot armor.
The type of girl who makes billions of readers say "that should be me..." yes they're Retarded. not me tho.
And I swear I heard a violins.
I stood up straight so fast my spine cracked.
"OH GOD IT'S REAL..."
She blinked. "Are you… hurt?"
"No. No. I'm emotionally unstable, but that's normal."
────────────────────────
[WARNING]
YOU ARE STANDING IN THE PROTAGONIST'S INTRODUCTION SCENE.
IF YOU INTERFERE, YOU WILL BE BRUTALLY PUNCHED BY THE PLOT.
────────────────────────
Oh shit.
I took five steps back immediately.
From the corner of my eye, I saw him appear.
the male lead.
Handsome. Brooding. 6'2. Eyes sharp enough to stab.
He walked toward Y/N in slow motion.
I whispered, "Oh my god, it's happening— this is THAT scene."
But then.
He didn't greet her.
He didn't confess.
He didn't do anything cool.
Instead… he walked past both of us.
And stopped in front of me.
"You," he said coldly. "Why are you in my frame?"
What the fuck! "…Your what?"
"MY. FRAME." He grabbed my collar. "I've been practicing this intro scene for THREE CHAPTERS and you— SIDE CHARACTER #14— ruined my entrance!"
I screamed.
Y/N gasped.
Cherry blossoms dramatically exploded for no reason.
And the system chimed again:
────────────────────────
[NEW QUEST UNLOCKED]
Escape the male lead before he kills you.
Difficulty: HELL.
────────────────────────
The screen flickered violently, like even the system was panicking on my behalf.
────────────────────────
[QUEST TIMER STARTED]
MALE LEAD IS ABOUT TO COMMIT HOMICIDE (EMOTIONAL OR PHYSICAL.)
Tbh... just RUN.
────────────────────────
"HUH?!"
I tried to step back but the male lead yanked me closer, his stupidly photogenic face inches from mine. His eyes glowed with that classic wattpad rage— like he was about to kiss me or kill me and even he didn't know which.
"Why were you… standing so close to Y/N?" he demanded.
Wait her name is Y/N?
"I DON'T KNOW?? I JUST WOKE UP HERE???"
He narrowed his eyes even more. "Suspicious."
Behind him, Y/N flailed her hands in pure CUTESY UwU panic.
"W-Wait! Maybe he's just lost!"
The male lead didn't even look at her.
He just lifted me up— by the collar— like I weighed nothing like just a bunch of air.
"I rehearsed that scene a hundred times," he hissed. "Slow walk, soft gaze, wind blowing at 0.7 speed… AND YOU— RANDOM #14— RUINED THE ANGLE."
"BRO I DIDN'T ASK TO BE HERE!" I shouted.
The cherry blossom trees.
exploded again.
And then—
His grip tightened.
His eyes softened???
WHAT???
"…Your face is kind of symmetrical," he muttered under his breath.
"…HUH???"
He immediately cleared his throat and slammed me back onto the ground like a sack of potatoes.
"Ahem. Anyway." He looked away too fast. "If you interfere again, I'll— I'll— I'll exile you to the filler arcs."
I gasped.
Not the filler arcs.
NOT THE HELL WHERE NOTHING EVER HAPPENS.
The system chimed like it was enjoying this scene.
────────────────────────
[NEW TITLE ACQUIRED]
MALE LEAD'S UNINTENDED LOVE RIVAL
Congratulations! The male lead has noticed you.
Lethality increased.
BL potential +3.
────────────────────────
"WAIT. LOVE RIVAL???" I screamed.
Y/N blinked, confused.
"L-love… rival?"
The male lead whipped his head toward the system window.
"WHAT?! CANCEL THAT. DELETE IT. ERASE IT."
... H-he can see IT?
He cat punch at the hologram like he was fighting someone.
But the system refused.
────────────────────────
ERROR: Feelings detected.
────────────────────────
He froze.
I froze.
Even the cherry blossoms froze in the air like frames of a broken animation.
Slowly… painfully… he turned to look at me.
"You," he said.
Voice low.
Dangerous.
Confused.
"I do NOT… have feelings for you."
"GOOD— because I don't either!" I snapped.
We stared at each other with the intensity of two idiots denying something the system clearly knew.
Y/N did a soft gasp
The blossoms sparkle aggressively
The system giggling in behind us.
And then—
A loud bell rang across the school.
────────────────────────
[MANDATORY EVENT TRIGGERED]
You must attend homeroom.
ALL CHARACTERS WILL BE FORCED INTO DRAMA.
────────────────────────
Oh.
The male lead clicked his tongue.
"Tch. Move," he said, brushing past me… except his shoulder intentionally bumped mine.
Excuse me.
DID THIS MAN JUST TSUNDERE SHOULDER BUMB ME???
I stared at his back in disbelief.
"…Oh god," I whispered.
"I'm screwed."
The system sparkled.
────────────────────────
END OF PART
────────────────────────
"Fuck this is bullshit." I muttered, as I slowly walked Toward the School.
