Reincarnated as a lazy side character in an Otome game

Prologue

It was a crimson night. The rain started pouring down and the customers hurriedly clock in at the store nearby to take shelter. Yuta who was sweeping the floor stood straight and shouted a bright and welcoming "Welcome" to everyone who came inside. 

Seeing the bright and young lad everyone smiles and they proceed to order as thanks to the young man who had made their bitter-sweet day a little better. Yuta puts on his headphones as he sees that there is no one left to greet.

He bangs his head lightly while humming to the song. Seeing the young man enjoying himself, the co-workers smile. The other employees start talking about Yuta.

"He's the energy."

"I know right, I'm glad we have him."

"You recruited him?"

"Yeah... Though I feel sorry for his condition."

"Huh? Something wrong?"

"Nah-Nah... I was just wondering what would we do without him."

"Right. I can't even imagine it."

"Ok, enough chit-chat, let's get back to work."

"Roger."

The day was just like any other day for Yuta, but there were a few more customers than there was every day. He smiles as he looks up at the sky which was a little pink from under the entrance of the shop. "I wish every day could be like today..." Yuta asks for his wish aloud.

He decides to get going since it felt like the rain would not stop any soon. Before going out, Yuta gets stopped and dragged by a force inside to prevent him from getting wet any further.

"Geez. Take this," The lady who had just stopped Yuta frowns and hands an umbrella to Yuta. Yuta accepts the umbrella with a warm smile on his face and walks out greeting the lady "See you tomorrow."

The sound of drizzling rain reminds Yuta that he forgot his headphones back at the store. He sighs and decides he'll return the next day to get them. Yuta walks towards the bus stop humming his favorite song named 'since'.

Unconsciously, Yuta starts moving his body to match the tunes to his hums. Before he could realize he was already dancing to the tunes in steps. The people nearby were staring at Yuta in amusement. Probably, because they never would have seen a boy do ballet.

Yuta could feel the heat on his face and he lowers the front half of the umbrella to hide his face. He presses his lips against each other in embarrassment. 'I did it again' he thinks.

As he walked silently staring at the ground for a while, he heard a scream coming from somewhere close. As he looks up, he could pinpoint a small child in the middle of the road and a number of cars speeding up towards him. 

With the kind heart Yuta had, he left the umbrella and ran to save the child. He managed to get the child out of the way of the car but he wasn't so lucky. In a split second, Yuta could hear the cryings of the child, the honkings of cars, and people calling out to him. However, it all faded after some while as he lost consciousness.

Yuta opened his eyes to endless white. He tried to clear his view in order to see it correctly. There was a man sitting there sipping tea as he stared at the troubled man in front of him. Yuta raises his eyebrows as he expects some sort of an explanation from the man.

"Welcome to your consciousness," The man stops and greets before taking another sip of his precious tea. Yuta nods as he gets a clear idea of what the man was talking about. I didn't know these things existed.

As soon as the man finishes his cup of tea, he stands up stretching his arms that had been resting in a position for a long time. "Let's get started, do you want to be reincarnated?" The man asks tilting his head slightly.

"Uh...um...Ok fine. But only as long as I get to have a comfortable life this time," Yuta puts forward his conditions shamelessly and the man gets amused by how quickly Yuta adapted to him—He was shocked by his social skills. 

The man nods as he accepts the conditions, "and I'll also give you some cheats..."
