“No. Nothing good will come of us being
together.”
I turned Danny down.
I picked up my pace and passed my sister
and Vince.
I didn’t dare to look back. I was too scared to
see Danny’s eyes.
Later, Vince was still coming to hang out with
my sister every day.
But Danny never came back.
One day, after dinner, Vince helped my sister
go down for a nap.
When she was asleep, he came back to the
couch and looked at me.
“Can we talk?”
Even though it was clear Vince and my sister
were close, we’d never really talked.
He looked at me and just came out with it.
“Are you a reincarnate?”
I was stunned.
What the hell?
“Or are you an isekai protagonist?”
Vince asked.
He was saying some wild stuff, but I
understood what he meant.
“You know this world is a story.”
Vince didn’t deny it, he just sighed.
“So you really are the one!”
Vince told me he was a reincarnate.
He was in love with my sister in his past life,
<
but he didn’t think he was good enough for
her. He thought only someone like Danny
deserved her. So he left the country.
Just like I did, he changed his number and cut
off all ties to the past.
But then I spiked Danny’s drink, so Danny and
I got together.
The reason my sister died in a car accident
was because he came back to the country
after hearing the news, and my sister was on
her way to see him.
Vince had spent the rest of his life regretting
what happened.
He killed himself due to depression.
Г
After he died, he found out he was living in a
tragic novel.
Aside from the main couple, we were all just
NPCs. Our job was to watch them head
toward tragedy, but we were powerless to
stop it.
But he never thought he’d be reborn.
“I’m a character in a book, but I feel pain, so
I’m real! Why should I give way for the sake
of the plot? In this life, I’m going to stay by
your sister’s side.”
Vince told me something else that shocked
“Danny knew about the drug in that drink
く
before he drank it. I told him.”
My whole world was flipped upside down.
It was all a joke.

“I’m not Danny, I don’t know what he’s
thinking. I told him that because he’s my
brother. I didn’t want to see him take the
tragic path. Even if it meant he might steal
Paris from me, I had to tell him. Otherwise, I’d
be winning unfairly.’
وو
Vince didn’t tell me anything else. He told me
to ask Danny myself.
Before I left, Vince told me one last thing.
“You think you’re the villain just because you
did something bad?”
く
“What else am I?”
He shook his head, smiling bitterly. “He’s the
only one who had a normal death in the book,
so he’s the only main character. When us.
guys read novels, we call the woman who has
the deepest bond with the male lead the
female lead. He and your sister are just
childhood friends. So you’re the female
lead…”
