The Male Lead With A Split Personality Is Trying to Kill Me

I didn’t even notice that Kid had come close to me, and I opened my mouth in surprise.

“N-No. I just can’t see anything…”

“You have terrible eyesight.”

Kid felt strangely upbeat as he rolled his eyes. However, I kept quite because I couldn’t be sure that he was in a good mood.

Like it or not, even if I didn’t know how I might end up, having been face-to-face with Kid for almost two weeks, I seemed to have a vague idea of how he was feeling now. I wasn’t very pleased with this knowledge.

‘Still, I guess he hasn’t received anything from the blackmailer yet.’

By the time his hand touched under my chin became uncomfortable, Kid grinned.

“Did he show you something like he had done yesterday? He didn’t, did he? But there were no flowers added.”

His slyly bending eyes looked annoying, but maybe that’s why he strangely looked less scary despite the situation where the variable of a strange blackmailer was added.

“You said you’d try. Did you two have a fight, Madam?”

Kid tapped the bottom of my chin with his index finger, as if asking for an answer. It was valid that I was still afraid of him, so I hurriedly opened my mouth.

“Well, today I got a ticket from Seniel to a piano recital, so I’m going with him this week. That’s why I thought I didn’t need flowers…”

After I said that, I felt a shallow regret that I should have packed flowers as usual. I didn’t know the criteria to satisfy the strange nomination to seduce Seniel, so I spat out all the words and secretly looked at Kid.

The corners of his mouth, which had risen crookedly, went down slightly. Kid furrowed his eyebrows.

“Really?”

“Y-Yes.”

“That’s great.”

The warmth under my chin was gone. Kid removed his hand and watched me quietly. Unlike before, the atmosphere was tense.

Only then did I understand why he had made me feel so much more at ease until just now. He didn’t have the bloodthirst he always sowed.

Kid stood in front of me, silently observing me. His gaze stung, but I couldn’t carelessly make eye contact with him. Even though he had said it was great, he didn’t seem satisfied.

‘Say something.’

I was most scared when Kid was still like now. I felt like a captain on a foggy sea.

I held my breath and clutched at the blanket. Was it because I didn’t add that I would try harder in the future? Or, did his standards depend on Seniel asking me out first? Did I commit myself to death without knowing that?

I timidly tried to convince him that I would try harder in the prolonged silence.

Suddenly the seat next to my bed caved in. The culprit who robbed the seat next to me casually stole my blanket. The blanket that had wrapped me like a cocoon was half gone. All this natural robbery took place right before my eyes.

‘Now, what are you doing…?’

In the midst of the confusing situation, Kid used his arm as a pillow, stretched out his legs and naturally lay down on the bed. My eyes bulged enough to pop out.

Even though I knew deep down that Kid and common sense could never coexist, this was truly incomprehensible.

Had his legs gone numb from standing for too long? Or had this bed suddenly seemed so comfortable?

Seeing Kid close his eyes, I couldn’t hide my bafflement. You’re suddenly sleeping next to me? I mean, why?

Seeing his calm demeanor, I even suspected that I was the strange one. In the meantime, seeing the relief that I was lucky not to have my pillow taken away, I could clearly feel that I had become accustomed to having a total lunatic as a company.

‘You’re sleeping? Hey, seriously?’

Kid continued to sleep in this exhausting situation. It seemed like he was just going to sleep here unless I kicked him out.

I wanted to wrap him in a blanket right away and roll him under the bed. But all I could really do was run to the corner of the bed, turn around, and try to kick him out as best I could.

“You’re going to sleep here…? You will be uncomfortable if you sleep here. It’s not a very good environment for you to sleep. It may hurt your health and mood-”

“I’m monitoring you, so stop worrying and go to sleep. Ah, Seniel’s wife had to be put to sleep before she could sleep, right?”

Why did you think so?

Kid half-opened his eyes and grinned.

My survival instincts sounded the danger signal strongly.

‘No! I can sleep alone, so don’t worry about me and have a good night’s sleep!’

I shook my head vigorously and insisted that I was an adult who could sleep well on my own.

Kid, who had been lying face to face with me, turned his body obliquely. When our eyes met, he hinted at me without saying a word. My body froze at the gesture that seemed to tell me to approach him.

I remembered sleeping on Kid’s lap. I thought it would only last once, but it seemed like I had given Kid a new bad hobby.

I bit the inside of my mouth and tried to appease him. “It must be tiresome and tiring to put me to sleep. I will just sleep here alone-”

Tuk, tuk, the sound of the mattress bouncing cut me off. Kid nodded his chin and invited me to lie down. It was more frightening that no threats followed. Instinctively knowing that I shouldn’t stretch any more, I entered his arms very slowly.

‘Is this a mental attack that can dry someone’s blood to death?’

I closed my eyes tight as I couldn’t bear to open them. I couldn’t understand why Kid was interested in this new type of bullying. I didn’t even have the heart to understand.

Kid put his arm behind my back. My body trembled with the illusion that a knife was about to be stabbed in my back.

Contrary to my concerns, a very careful touch patted my back.

Kid’s move didn’t stop, as if he was going to pat me until I fell asleep. There were no urges for me to sleep faster, no silent threats, but it was still uncomfortable.

But perhaps the experience of sleeping with him several times and nothing happened had lowered my guard. Somewhere in the corner of my emotions, I felt the same warmth I had felt from my mother from him.

‘Am I finally crazy?’

To feel at ease in the arms of the enemy I should be most wary of.

I closed my eyes tightly, blocking my vision, so my senses began to focus elsewhere. Ominously, I heard the sound of Kid’s heart and smelled his body odor.

In the midst of these contradictory emotions, both uncomfortable and comfortable, my tired body gradually began to grow languid, and my brain, which had gone through a lot, gave a very surprising opinion, telling that Kid’s touch seemed to be comforting me after such a hard day.

I knew very well that it was impossible, and that it would never happen. In the first place, I didn’t want to receive comfort from Kid. He was the main culprit who ruined my life, so why would he comfort me?

Even though I knew all of that, my weakened mind dug into the faint warmth.

Wow. I guess I’ve gone mad.

In the meantime, my clear consciousness was halfway floating, and the boundary with reality began to blur. Before I fell asleep, I made a feeble defiance.

‘… I don’t want to receive Kid’s hug therapy…!’

But the effect was minimal. Because I fell into a very deep sleep.

The morning sunlight hit my face intensely through the open window. I tried to turn to avoid the light, but something blocked me. I tried to fumble away with eyes closed, but it didn’t work out.

I finally opened my eyes in annoyance at the thing holding me and not letting go.

“…”

I wasn’t the only one awake. But the person before me seemed distraught as if he had just woken up. Dark eyes stared at me.

I vaguely recalled the promise Good Boy had made yesterday. His pretty eyes had twinkled as he said he would help me…

Before Seniel panicked in earnest, I greeted him with an awkward smile.

“Good morning.”
