Is that a secret crush on Andrea?

Andrea smiled bitterly and nodded sadly.

"That person doesn't even know I exist. It's an unrequited love."

[But why do you like that person if they don't even know you?]

The lovers I've seen have always cherished and loved each other. I thought that was love.

"Well, I guess because I can't control the way my heart is",

Andrea thought that loving someone without being loved back was love.

My heart ached strangely. I wanted to say that's not love. Lovers should cherish each other, constantly tell each other they love each other, and even if they don't grant any wishes, they can chant each other's names like a magic spell. It had to be the kind of relationship where one can give and receive what young Andrea had hoped for.

That person doesn't even recognize Andrea's existence, doesn't like Andrea, and even if they found out, they would just treat it as nothing special. That person and Andrea couldn't be together.

But why do you like that person? Suddenly, a thorn of jealousy and irritation sprouted in my heart. I didn't like that person, and I didn't like Andrea who said he liked that person. I quickly scribbled on the paper.

[Andrea is an idiot.]

Andrea saw my notebook and laughed.

"Now you know me a little better."

He said without denying it one bit.


***


I was annoyed, but my plan to raise Andrea's favorability was still ongoing. I wrote down some information about Andrea's secret crush.

[Extremely beautiful

Arrogant

Easily looks down on others and throws others away

Loves himself the most

Andrea is an (idiot)]

The first condition of being beautiful was already fulfilled. I couldn't try any harder, considering I was already so stunningly beautiful, there was no room for me to improve.

Next was arrogance. This was something I could work on. As an angel, I always treated others with humility and friendliness, so it would be difficult to act arrogant, but... Andrea seemed to be attracted to arrogant people, so I decided to act arrogant for about two weeks.

The most difficult and important condition came next. Andrea seemed to be attracted to people who treated others rudely. What a strange guy he is. But this strange person was my "male protagonist" so I had no choice.

Loving oneself the most and ignoring Andrea seemed relatively easy. I already loved myself, and ignoring Andrea was easy as long as I didn't speak.

I took a deep breath. It felt like I was about to jump into a battlefield. Now it was time to conquer Andrea's favorability.

"Del, are you going to class?"

Andrea called out to Del, who was leaving without even greeting him. Del didn't even turn around and just opened the door and left.

"Did he not hear me?"

At first, Andrea thought that was the case.

But even after Del returned from class, he didn't respond to Andrea's words at all. Usually, when Andrea had something to say, he would quickly take out his notebook and scribble down with his messy handwriting, but today, he didn't even pretend to listen.

I was worried that he had lost his voice after losing his hearing, but he would always answer the servants, so it didn't seem like he had that problem.

That wasn't all. Del tried to take another servant other than Andrea with him when he went out for walks or ate meals.

"Del, are you mad at me?"

Andrea asked, but Del only briefly glanced at Andrea and left with another servant.

Perhaps he was offended by talking about the real Del Narcissus. Andrea laughed and followed behind Del.

Honestly, Del's behavior now seemed like a cute tantrum. Jealousy, to be exact. The corner of my mouth went up. But if I laughed now, it would only make things worse. Andrea bit his tongue and swallowed his laughter.

Del, who walked ahead, was wearing thin, fluttering white clothes. Every time the wind blew, his clothes swayed and fluttered, making him look like an angel. The servants following closely behind Del were all stealing glances at Del mesmerized by his beauty.

Andrea unconsciously cracked his knuckles as he thought, He should have made an example of Fernando last time by slitting his neck instead of breaking his wrist. But he was startled that Del had suddenly jumped out and stopped him.

"Please rest here, Angel!"

Then, there was a commotion up ahead.

"Bring a parasol!"

"I will support you!"

Del, who seemed dizzy from the hot sun, was leaning on another servant and holding his forehead.

"Del!"

Andrea ran straight to Del. His cheeks and nose were bright red. Andrea grabbed his arm and held him close to him.

"He really must have been weak. He never had a strong body to begin with."

Andrea naturally held Del like a princess. But suddenly, Del started shaking his body and struggling. Andrea quickly held him firmly so he wouldn't fall.

"Del, if you fall, you'll get hurt. Just a moment..."

But Andrea couldn't say any more. Because Del stretched out both his arms towards the other servant. No one in Sablum could ignore Del when he asked to be held. The servant looked oddly happy and snatched Del away from Andrea's arms.
