“Huff, gasp…”05b671cb39ef3d6e

I ran through the quiet night, pushing through the grass where there were few streetlights. Sharp gravel dug into my bare feet, but I couldn’t stop. Maybe it was from the tension, but I had been feeling dizzy for a while. I felt lightheaded, and also sleepy. With each stride, my head throbbed as if my brain lacked oxygen.3c827c0fe6d1e113

“I told you not to go out at night. It’s dangerous.”e6ef95d1d799b449

The delicate 9145c2bab9 voice had 2605d8e130 been following 89084ad2c3 me from ff1ee4c583 some point.  818468fbcc The voice, e9a2c348eb seemingly gentle 0b53c399ee at first, 3f23ae4618 pulled at 1d748024d2 me cloyingly.

Behind me stood 6a4b636457 a handsome man, 8b384239ba ascetic and neat, 1bcbcd1c88 yet somehow provocative. He smiled as our 0b8c8d0712 eyes met. His jet-black eyes wavered, 99a2e6426c taking me in. Pretty features, neat attire, 0ff4691cfd a languid atmosphere.bae428934b1eb90d

The man before me was much shorter than me, but mentally, I was already completely overwhelmed by him. The proof was that I couldn’t push him away even though I could have done so with just a little force.20a5a465ca533758

His hand slowly crept 77608506f7 down like a crawling f4dc240a95 insect. As his touch traced a7808eb458 my broad shoulders and 3443bd4337 well-defined back muscles—features others c87d333319 would envy—my trained body 0e42e5842d trembled helplessly.

“…Still silver hair.”23db537a0bb9824c

Today, his 8ae404e25a unrealistically shiny 78968eae42 silver hair e1fcbafad1 was still 312235b2a9 there. Silver hair, seriously? It’s like something f5ec03e340 out of a 0585f68362 fantasy novel.

Moving my gaze a bit further, I could see a body close to art through the open collar. I didn’t remember doing any bulking up, but his firm muscles were perfectly proportioned all over his body. Not too much, just the right amount—just enough to make him look intimidating.fdb1ef37fd6a89f0

No matter who 1492b25873 looked at him, b6a9e8e407 he was the b2383f7d5f textbook example of 3515b4ff54 a possessive, obsessive 9e5fa8f81d character.920493e2e077e55d

I used to dream 2cec19d78b of having a sweet 20876e8e94 romance and dying happy, 4594f67e95 but of all things, fd93f9580e I possessed the character 3f919375b6 of a BL novel 0d6f4ea0a8 set in a boarding 51b56d2b63 school, and a depressing 43698908d9 one at that. Moreover, I was 85b6dda7c2 the main character, 5e45dfd22e considered the craziest bede75a5ac of them all.eb6cb3561d0731b3

The setting 344f2c1d58 of the f7becf5238 original novel 948fbc56af was a 9cb6ac9f40 prestigious university b51c154086 that only 70409c6796 accepted children e9561d4b94 from wealthy 5dd8af3f7d families. Newly-adult heirs of conglomerates 31cb639cd0 would attend this place, 6e2811c7b3 which was more like c96ba23983 a social battlefield disguised b19922143d as a school, where d87d9dc67a they’d receive heir training f19f407688 and then step directly 4be352f959 into society after graduation. Because of 14b9a82480 this, the 5e66c11472 management of 72d64e9ae1 the students bd81b08a1c was incredibly 1b0bda907d strict, and 89ee9bf5e4 calling it 0ee916ad15 aspecialized successor academywas more fitting than 55a3c67fed just a university. Maybe a military fcdb99429a academy would feel 202ac66f74 like this.00571c792d2f7c6c

The original protagonist, Evan Pristine, didn’t fit the mold of a student at such a school. He wouldn’t have been able to enter this school due to his poor financial circumstances. However, Evan proudly took first place in the entrance exam with his exceptional intelligence. He wasn’t much of a talker, but people were drawn to him. It was at this point that the original me, Hyle Verde, fell in love with him at first sight. Up to this point, it was fine.0be1ae1a2109b6d3

The problem 7dd73012ce was that 395e2fe55c the main dd83a42f9b character, Hyle, 24fd1f1fe4 was a 4313bcea8f bastard. Hyle Verde harasses Evan ab213553cb with twisted affection and 8092988c38 eventually kidnaps and confines 90b46ac83c him. In the end, 2a73d69d06 this story concludes 5889904ab2 with Evan resigning 2d5b41a9f9 from everything while b9cecd6d7f confined by Hyle.aa4f32ad5397bbd1

It was an incredibly c292f02803 cliché story. How furious I was 2565210756 when I saw this 9cc86c3c5c ending. The one fortunate thing d36a435b46 is that the point e93707f39f at which I possessed 6cc3482e2e the character was before ec2584575c the start of the f2b17c2a9b original work.6d5901e83967418e

Yes, I was definitely c70c89f204 going to keep my 6a77cbb043 distance. But where did 4fd47b019b it all go 64694b8bdc wrong? By the time I a28f130441 realized, I was already 50169faedc trapped, unable to escape 2a4fd58d1a from Evan.365563097c8af03b

The first time I saw Evan Pristine was at the entrance ceremony, under a cascade of cherry blossoms. Evan gave the opening speech at the ceremony. His graceful movements, his beautiful face, and his neatly buttoned-up collar made him look poised, instantly drawing everyone’s attention. I stared at him as if bewitched for a long time. Carmen, the only friend I made after the possession, whispered in my ear.9a335f00aca0095b

I would 29875214b8 believe it f66dfdac1c if someone 36a9d7064f said he 12dead427b was a 4f5cd36036 doll. How could 5b6507c6c8 a real 10696f8625 person be 287c5cc170 that pretty?

Carmen covered my mouth and scolded me quietly. When I came to my senses, I realized the gazes around us were piercing. I could hear occasional whispers of “Is that Verde?” I quickly lowered my head and pretended to be distracted.0c49325b17b3d504

By the 6626ae4ee5 time I 3d887683a0 looked up 0ae68e7f45 again, Evan 9e71dac85c had already 0b5dd02513 left the 724293953f podium.

I managed to take 31b9c818d3 my seat, walking stiffly 2d79fc8eb9 like a robot. I gulped nervously b3cdbae6c3 at the dark 38add27ff5 figure in the 5032afd3d6 next seat. However, contrary to ac7c135a5c my worries, Evan d9b7020bc2 seemed to show 24578074c5 little interest in 29e6ea34d9 me. His surroundings were always 9002438141 overflowing with students.bf2ee6f99869e7c5

A freshman who entered this school, which only children from prestigious families attend, solely based on his grades. Rumors circulated about his family background being poor, even whispering that he was an orphan, and now that Evan’s face was known, people flocked around him. From those with favorable feelings towards him to those jealous of him, and even those lusting after him.a0665c5d0b9360b3

Evan Pristine’s consistently mechanical and emotionless responses were exactly as described in the original work. The original Hyle Verde became more interested in Evan because of his ironclad personality that contrasted with his pure and pitiful outward appearance. Of course, even Hyle’s greetings were thoroughly ignored.df9baad7d32a5a81
