Side Story #1

#1

This event was when Eriu was electrocuted by a doorknob full of electricity. Just like any other morning, Eros woke up Eriu, who was still in the midst of his sweet dreams.

Pat-pat.

Eros patted Eriu's shoulder several times, he knew how difficult it was for this sleeping person to wake up, inevitably he had to do the easiest way to wake him up.

Eros immediately pulled the blanket that Eriu was wearing, making Eriu hug his body due to the suddenly low temperature, even though his eyes were still closed and remained undisturbed. Seeing this, Eros went to the window and opened the curtains that were blocking the sunlight, not hesitating to open the window as well.

PAK!

"Wake up! It's already 9 o'clock!" It ended with him slapping his leg a couple of times, which made Eriu feel uncomfortable and woke him up.

"Aww!" Because of Eriu's sudden awakening, Eros couldn't avoid Eriu's head, which wanted to hit the person who woke him up. Eriu gave him a displeased look and went back to holding the edge of the blanket.

"..." Eros couldn't hide his angry expression, he even clenched his hands tightly.

Sigh...

Eros stared at the mattress for 3 minutes before he went to the door and shouted with all his voice, "MAMA, ERI WON'T WAKE UP!" 

Eriu, already awake, was just annoyed with him. He didn't even want to get up or look at that innocent face that didn't look guilty.

"HEY, STOP IT, I'M AWAKE!" Eriu quickly got up from the bed and ran after Eros, who immediately ran out of the room.

They ran through the stairs making noise everywhere, "STOP!" Eriu yelled breathlessly.

Eros looked back briefly and taunted Eriu by sticking out his tongue.

"!!!"

Louise, in the living room, just smiled, pretending not to hear the two of them arguing, after all, they were about to face someone scarier than him.

"... Well, well, you might as well make your own arena." Ariadne, hearing the call, immediately glared and rushed back into the house, leaving the lawnmower's boomerang-like magic tool in the backyard.

She put her hands on her waist with fiery red eyes.

Eros immediately stopped his steps, causing him to almost fall behind, followed by Eriu, who was shocked by Eros' sudden fall.

"Ugh!" Eriu whimpered in pain and when he saw Eros getting back up, Eriu realized that his life wouldn't be saved either.

Smiling sweetly while sipping his tea, Louise, wearing earplugs, returned to enjoy his time as opposed to the bloody scene next to him.

"When will God give me His blessing?" Eriu felt tired all over due to the deadly training he had to do in the last few days.

Even though Louise was training him now, somehow he felt his whole body crumbling compared to training with Ariadne.

Even Eros still looked energetic.

Eriu sat on the dirty ground and watched the others go about their own activities. His mother, Ariadne, was in the kitchen after training Eros, his father, Louise, was making ice cubes as usual, and Eros, who had tidied up the training ground, was walking towards him.

"What's on your mind?" Eros took a seat next to Eriu. His pale yellow hair was sticking to his face, his cheeks were flushed from the training, his long eyelashes and his pink eyes were full of beautiful colors.

"Today's dinner."

"Didn't Mom already say we're only eating fish?"

"Again?" Eriu, hearing this, looked even more lethargic. "...Hang in there, maybe we can get some better food after we leave the Loss Paradise."

"Uhmm..."

The more Eriu looked at him, the more he realized how lucky he was to be friends with someone with such a beautiful face.

It seemed as if if he were to use this friend of his to gain followers on social media, he would have no problem doing so and would help him even more.

... Speaking of social media, he remembered when his crush read a story about someone who died as a duke's daughter or came back to life to avenge the hunter who ruined his life.

Even though she didn't like such stories, she still read them, he even wondered why she read stories that made her even angrier when she read them.

"Eros, let me ask you something."

"What?" Eros turned around and stared at Eriu with a curious look, while Eriu stared blankly at the colorful sky.

"One day you died, but suddenly you woke up and became the son of a well-known nobleman. After that, you realize that you have stepped into a novel, a novel that has a story where your character is the villain who always disturbs the main character."

Eros listened intently.

"Your character in the novel died tragically, which made you try to find a way to survive, until one day the prince that killed you in the story accused you, without any evidence, that you had mistreated the main character."

"Do you want to change this prince or find someone better?"

Eriu turned to look at him and saw Eros staring at him, looking disgusted.

Not even three seconds after his question, Eros immediately replied firmly, "Destroy that prince's life and look for a better one."

"..."

"Why should I change this prince? Just die if he doesn't know his mistakes."

"..."

The more Eriu heard, the more he realized that Eros was very realistic. Seeing Eros look so annoyed made him want to tease him even more than before.

"If I were the prince, what would you do?"

Eros mused, "Well, I'm a stranger in the body of a villain, I wouldn't even recognize you, let alone care about you being an ignorant prince."

"Chances are I'll still destroy you if you mess with me." With an innocent face, he said this in front of Eriu.

Eriu didn't know what came over him, he was very upset to hear that.

"...Then say I continue to chase you even after you ignore me and even do a lot of evil things so that you don't run away, what are your choices, to stay with me or to run away?"

"..." Eros blinked once before he looked at Eriu with a cold look, "Go and repent. Besides, you're a prince, seek medicine with all the money you have."

Crakk-

Immediately, Eriu felt her heart break into pieces.

Sluggishly, Eriu lay down on the ground full of grass, although he had felt his heart broken many times before, but this time he had no idea what was causing it, he felt his heart stop beating, his face turned pale, and even all his energy disappeared.

'Eriu Grith' must really like the protagonist more than his life, for sure.

His view of only the vast sky was blocked by Eros' face looking down at him from above, even smiling there.

"It is impossible for you to be the prince, because I know you're a very romantic man."

As life came back to him, the red eyes that had darkened sparkled again.

"That's why I like you."

"...!"

"A... I'm a romantic?" asked Eriu with a question mark.

Without answering, Eros brought his face closer to Eriu's, which of course made Eriu panic.

"! Stop it! We're not old enough!" Still, Eriu did not push Eros away and just stared at him, not moving at all.

"See, you're very romantic."

"!!!" Eriu's soul immediately left his body. Eros stopped himself and laughed softly before pressing his forehead against Eriu's.

"Let my heart continue to beat for you."

The long-haired youth pressed his forehead against the pale yellow-haired youth, "I can't even control my own heartbeat, how can I stop liking you?"

The yellow-haired youth paused before looking away.

Of course, the black-haired youth's face was red as a tomato, and after saying that, he stood up and ran away.

I promised myself to introduce you to my family!
