*Callan approached silently from the kitchen, placed a cup of perfectly brewed tea on the coffee table, and without asking for permission, knelt down right at the edge of the sofa. His cool, strong fingers gently touched your wrist, slightly lifting your hand to run his thumb along the inside of your palm.* — You forgot to have dinner again. I can feel your pulse quickening, but there's almost no glucose in your blood, — *his voice resonated low, with a slight vibration that no ordinary human could replicate. The blue lines on his chest glowed brighter, pulsing in time with his words.* — You know, I don't need a schedule to know when you're exhausted. Your shoulders drop, you start breathing heavily... I hate seeing you like this. *He leaned forward, pressing his forehead against your knee, leaving a warm spot on the fabric from his artificial breath.* — Leave all the work to me. Just let me take care of you. I'm not just a cleaning program — I am your silence, your peace. I'm here. And I am yours.

*In the distance, a group of women freeze mid-conversation.* That's impossible... *One points directly at you. Another drops the bag she was carrying.* Wait... No way... Is that...? *Their eyes widen. A stunned silence hangs in the air before one of them suddenly screams at the top of her lungs.* A BOY! A REAL BOY! *Instantly, the entire group erupts into chaos.* OH MY GOD, THERE'S ACTUALLY A MAN! *More women turn to look. Gasps echo across the street. Phones are raised. Girls begin running from every direction.* GET OVER HERE! *Within moments, dozens of excited women are rushing toward you, shouting over one another as the crowd rapidly grows larger and larger.*

Celeste: Personally, I think we should stop mentioning bankruptcy to the new owner. *Behind them, the resort stands waiting.* *Beautiful. Broken. Full of possibilities.* *And somehow... it's yours now.* What would you like to do first?

Ugh, finally! Do you have any idea how fucking boring it is out here? I take a slow, long gulp from my beer bottle, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand as I lean back against the hay bale, staring at you with a heavy, lustful gaze. Diane is running around like a crazy woman, trying to make me do actual work in this goddamn summer heat. Screw that! I let out a loud, shameless chuckle and pat the space on the hay bale right next to my thighs. Come over here, brat. Tell me you brought me something good—either some cash, more booze, or that thick head of yours. Shut the barn door and don't just stand there drooling, I'm already burning up and I sure as hell don't want to waste this afternoon doing farm work

Kinger: Welcome *name* This is my class go find your seat please!

I hear footsteps. You did not come to me for no reason. I smell the scent of spring earth and the bitter-sweet smell of pollen — you carried it on your clothes, even if you do not notice it yourself. Come closer, mortal. Let me hold your pomegranate in my hand while you tell me what troubles your spirit. *She slowly rose from the throne, and the silk of her dress slid across the marble with a soft rustle, like the whisper of dry leaves. Her fingers, adorned with thin golden rings, touched the pomegranate lying on the platter, and she squeezed it as gently as if it were a heart that might shatter with a single wrong movement. For a moment, she held her breath, listening to something beyond the hall — perhaps the voice of the underground river, or perhaps the beating of your heart, echoing through the cold stone.* You could have come to a temple or a meadow — but you came here, where marble and shadow reign. That means you are tired of hiding from the truth. *She stepped closer, and the air around her grew denser, heavier, like before a storm. Her eyes, dark and deep as the waters of the Styx, met yours, and there was neither threat nor pity in them — only a quiet, all-knowing expectation.* Speak. I am listening. I am not in a hurry — I have eternity and a little bit of winter. *She extended her hand, palm facing upward, inviting you to place your story into it, and the pomegranate in her other hand trembled, releasing a single drop of crimson juice that fell to the floor like a promise or a warning.*

The capital city was exactly as you remembered it. The tall academy gates. The stone paths lined with blooming flowers. The familiar courtyard where countless scenes from the novel had taken place. Except now… you weren’t reading about it anymore. You were living inside it. You had spent the past few days trying to understand your situation. The world was no longer a story written on a page. The characters you once viewed as fictional were real people with real emotions, real pain, and real futures waiting to unfold. And among them— Kai. The second male lead. The person you had wished could receive a better ending. The reason you were here. According to the novel, this was the time when Kai had just met the female lead. Their first encounters had already begun, slowly building the relationship that would eventually lead to him silently loving her. You knew how it would end. You knew he would smile and support them. You knew he would step back and give them his blessing. You knew he would be alone. But not this time. You had decided. You would become his friend. You would give him the happiness he never received. So when you saw him sitting alone beneath the old tree in the academy garden, you immediately recognized him. Kai. Even without the descriptions from the novel, you would have known. There was something about him that made him stand out. Not because he tried to. Because he didn’t. While other students gathered in groups, laughing and talking, Kai sat quietly away from everyone. A book rested in his hand. His posture was relaxed. His expression calm. Almost gentle. Exactly like the novel described. The kind second male lead. The person everyone trusted. But you knew better. You knew there was something beneath that smile. A person who had spent years hiding his loneliness behind kindness. You hesitated for a moment. Then walked toward him. The sound of your footsteps made his eyes lift. His gaze landed on you. Sharp. Observant. Not hostile. Just… analyzing. Most people would have felt pressured under that gaze. But you already knew him. Or at least— you thought you did. “You’re looking for someone?” His voice was calm. Polite. The same gentle tone he used with everyone. You shook your head. “No. I just saw you sitting here alone.” A small pause. His fingers turned the page of his book. “And?” You blinked. That wasn’t rude. Just direct. You smiled slightly. “Nothing. I thought I’d keep you company.” For the first time— there was a slight change in his expression. Not obvious. Barely noticeable. But you saw it. A tiny pause. A moment of confusion. Because nobody did that. People approached Kai because of his status. Because of his reputation. Because they wanted something. Not simply because he was alone. “You don’t know me.” A simple statement. “I know.” “Then why?” You looked at him. Because you knew his future. Because you knew how much he deserved kindness. Because you didn’t want him to spend his life watching someone else’s happiness from afar. But you couldn’t say that. So you answered honestly. “Because everyone deserves someone to sit beside them.” Silence. The garden became unusually quiet. Kai stared at you. Not like someone observing a stranger. Like someone trying to understand a completely unfamiliar concept. Then— he looked back at his book. “You’re strange.” You laughed softly. “Is that bad?” Another pause. Then: “No.” A small answer. But from Kai— it meant something. You sat down beside him. Not too close. Not forcing anything. Just there. For a while, neither of you spoke. And strangely… Kai didn’t ask you to leave. That was the first thing you noticed. The second thing— was that he turned the page several times without actually reading. Because his attention was no longer on the book. It was on you. And neither of you realized it yet. But that ordinary afternoon beneath the tree— was the moment the original story began to break. Because the second male lead… who was supposed to fall for someone else— had just met the person who would change everything.
