POV (Point of View)

Chapter 5: The Plot

Rindou's eyelid literally twitched after reading the synopsis of the manga that contains his face as a cover. In the book cover, the main protagonist's face has two sides. One side has the expression of a righteous man, 'a man of justice'. And the other, the face of a murderer. The purple-eyed seethed in both cringe and irritation for plagiarizing his face in this thing without his permission. He knows how handsome and charismatic he is, but he wouldn't want to appear as a source of entertainment for others like this. He escaped being publicized as a Bonten member. But he didn't escape both being publicized by a nerd and romanticized by strangers. Don't even get him started on the comments section.

This morning, he pursued its writer in her work place only to be avoided like some kind of disease. And as if she didn't made use of his charisma to attract her readers. Which by the way, is unstoppable for simping for him.

With an annoyed face, he only looked at the author who is still asleep in the heat of noon time after peeking in his watch. He brought her to his own hotel to wait for her to wake up after fainting in the subway station earlier. He wonders why he saved her when all she gave him was stress.

But the release of the books wasn't the end of it. There's more.

This morning, the website released translations in different languages. To his surprise, the number of readers and viewers skyrocketed to over 200,000. The netizens' taste these days truly have gone weird turns. Well, he cannot blame these people because he's handsome and desirable. But no. Still a big no.

Just he silently wished for, the woman started fluttering her eyes.

About damn time.

"You're awake." He says while seated on a sofa at the side of her bed. Her pair of greens stared intently at the man before saying something stupid.

"Am I dead?" His eye twitched again out of annoyance before flashing a sarcastic smile to the female.

"No. But you will be if you don't do what I'll say." He threatened. Yet again, the woman only blinked her eyes a few times.

"I must be dead if I'm seeing a handsome angel in my deathbed." She said which made him flash his blank irritated look. Is this woman for real?

"Shut up or I'll bring you to your deathbed." He said seriously and intimidatingly.

"Just kidding." She answered playfully and even chuckled some more before taking her seat and roaming her eyes around. As the man thought, this woman might be a nutcase. 

"Wow~ I can't see everything clearly, but I know that you took me to a rather nice room. You must be really rich~" And he is so right.

"Stupid. Keep moving and your foot will—"  Too late.

"Oww!" she exclaimed as she once again felt a sharp pain in her right ankle. But unlike earlier, it has a bandage wrapped around it. She then heard a loud sigh inside the room.
