Just Because I Have Narrow Eyes Doesn't Make Me a Villain!

Chapter 148

"So bright···."

Hadn't I closed the curtains?

I squinted against the bright sunlight piercing through my eyelids.

Was it already morning?

I felt strangely exhausted and wanted to sleep more, but once awake, I couldn't drift back to sleep.

No matter how much I tossed and turned, I couldn't get comfortable.

Frustrated, I eventually gave up on trying to sleep.

Covering my head with the blanket didn't help with the glaring light, but that wasn't the only problem disturbing my sleep.

"Water···."

My throat felt parched, and a raspy voice escaped my lips.

It felt like I had sung for hours in a karaoke bar the previous day.

Was this what a sore throat felt like?

The dryness was unbearable, so I reluctantly tried to sit up to get some water, only to be met with the unpleasant sensation of a sticky bedsheet.

"Haa···."

No wonder I felt a bit chilly.

The bedsheet was soaked with sweat and other fluids.

I wanted to put on some clothes, but in this state, it seemed impossible.@@@@

When I touched my belly, I confirmed it; my body was covered in sticky fluids.

I needed to wash up first.

Turning my head, I saw Siwoo sleeping peacefully.

···I felt a pang of irritation at how innocent he looked while asleep.

He had been so rough last night.

Memories of the previous night flooded back, and my face turned red.

I never imagined I'd make such sounds.

People really can't predict everything.

As I watched Siwoo sleep, a scene from a novel or movie came to mind.

The one where the person who wakes up first kisses their partner.

Afraid to wake him, I kissed his forehead lightly and got out of bed.

"Ughhh···?!"

I regretted it immediately.

It reminded me of the time I decided to go on a diet and joined a gym.

Back then, I fought a daily battle with muscle soreness.

···This pain was several times worse.

"My back···."

It felt like my back was breaking.

Or had it folded in half?

It didn't matter. It hurt terribly.

I was suddenly wide awake.

My legs trembled like those of a newborn fawn, and my arms felt weak, hurting whenever they moved up to my chest.

I didn't want to move. I just wanted to crawl back into bed and cuddle with Siwoo.

···But I needed water.

I couldn't wait for Siwoo to wake up to quench my thirst.

In the end, I had no choice but to get up and move, holding my legs for support.

I inched my way to the living room like a worm, bit by bit.

I cursed the water jug in the middle of the living room.

Why was it there?

Grumbling, I somehow managed to reach the water jug and grab it.

"Gulp, gulp···."

I drank greedily, finally satisfying my parched throat.

When the bottle was nearly empty, I looked around and was shocked.

"Wow···. What happened here···."

Siwoo's room was covered in fluids.

"Oh, a call."

"I'll get it."

Siwoo, feeling responsible for my muscle pain, hurried to bring my phone.

Well, he wasn’t wrong.

It was his fault.

But I couldn't find the words to say that.

It was just a peculiar feeling.

Better to let it be.

Since moving was difficult, it worked out fine.

"···Hello?"

F-finally! Where have you been?!

"···Huh?"

Are you okay?! If you can’t speak, make a long sound for yes and a short one for no! Are you okay?!

"???"

Startled by the voice on the phone, Siwoo and I looked at each other.

···What was this about?

"···What's going on?"

I thought you were kidnapped or something!

"Huh?"

-···Looks like you're okay. I was so worried···.

Amelia sighed deeply, then started yelling.

You should have answered your phone! What were you doing?!

"Phone?"

Yeah! Do you know how many times I tried to reach you?!

···She had been calling? When?

Checking my call logs, I was shocked.

Amelia had called me repeatedly over the past few hours.

"What the···."

You didn’t answer for three days! I almost called the police!

"Three days?"

As Amelia said, my phone showed that three days had passed since our date.

···Had we been at it for three days?

That's insane.

No wonder I was in so much pain despite being a superhuman.

"So, about your reader."

"Don't mention it···. I miss them so much···. Ah, reader, I miss you···."

"Here we go again."

The transcendents sighed.

This one had been crying ever since being forcibly expelled from an interesting place.

She seemed to have pulled herself together recently, proposing intriguing ideas that they joined.

But every time something about that world came up, she became depressed again.

"Seriously, I’m curious."

"What?"

"That girl, she doesn’t menstruate. Can she have kids?"

"Huh? Oh, that."

"Human women need to menstruate to have kids, right?"

"I blocked it on purpose."

"···Really?"

"Yeah."

The foolish transcendent who had been expelled answered straightforwardly.

It was intentional.

"Since her soul was a human male, dealing with menstruation would be annoying. It would also interfere with watching the protagonist."

"···So she can’t get pregnant? You always said you’d make it happen."

"No way."

Proudly, the girl boasted.

"As soon as semen enters her womb, she has a 100% chance of getting pregnant. She can menstruate afterward!"

"Oh···."

"Ah, the reader is probably having a great time with the protagonist right now···. I wish I could see it···. I didn’t want spoilers···."
