CHAPTER 2

How's The Male Lead Cures The Young Lady, Who Has A Limited Time.

"....No way, You don't remember, do you?"

Noel asked, raising one eyebrow.

Yvette nodded silently, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

"Right."

He muttered briefly, sticking his hand crookedly into his pocket.

"Maybe, it's better not to remember it."

As he whispered to himself, Yvette swallowed her saliva.

"Why? Well, did you make a mistake?"

As she anxiously asked, Noel, shrugged.

"Well, I don't know if I should call it a mistake…."

He intentionally blurted his words, grinning.

"You attacked me last night."

"..........Yes?"

gulp.

Yvette's eyes rolled slowly.

She searched in her head desperately for a short time.

Then last night's memories came up.

[No, don't go]

[….if you do this, you'll be in trouble]

[It's okay, just… Give it to me.]

Yvette buried her face in both hands instead of recounting her memories.

She didn't know anything else, but it was clear as she caught Noel first.

When she realized that, her face started to turn red.

It felt like the heat of her whole body was rushing to her head.

"I'm sorry. I must have been out of my mind yesterday because I was drunk."

"You certainly seemed very drunk."

Noel nodded with a mysterious look on his face.

Unlike Yvette, he didn't seem at all embarrassed by the situation.

"…I'm really asking, just in case."

After a short pause, Yvette gathered her courage again to open her mouth.

"Did we… already done that far?"

Noel stopped at the straightforward question.

"….Do you want me to answer it honestly?"

When he asked significantly again, Yvette shook her head in a hurry.

"No. Just don't answer me. I'll just think about it alone."

vaguely, a memory came to her mind.

It was such a faint memory that she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality.

However, considering the current situation, it was highly likely the latter.

'let's not think about it.'

Yvette shook her head.

If she thinks more about it, it will only be more embarrassing.

'....Still, thanks to meeting this person, I was able to get rid of the curse, so I have to think that it is fortunate.'

After the shock of spending a night with a man she had never seen before, she was able to make rational judgments again.

'if that's it, I don't think it's too bad for a fate…'

It was just then.

Yvette's eyes opened up at the thought of a sudden occurrence.

'Come to think of it, didn't that person say that when you meet your destined partner, your tattoo blooms?'

Yvette turned around and ran to the bathroom. Then she checked the mirror with a doubt.

"The flowers bloomed...."

Looking in the mirror, Yvette breathed in vain.

The thin clothes she wore were sleeveless, revealing her neck and arms.

Thanks to this, it was easy to check the tattoos that came up to the neck.

On an empty branch, there was a flower that bloomed half the size of a palm.

The color was pale blue, resembling Noel's pupils.

'That man, he really was my destiny.'

Yvette stared blankly into the mirror.

What is the probability that you will meet someone you haven't encountered in 20 years at a cheap bar, not anywhere else, in just a few hours?

At first, I thought it was ridiculous.

But that ridiculous thing has happened in reality.

'....so that's why you're my destined one?'

Just yesterday, I thought I'd never see him.

It was too great a timing, To dismiss this encounter as a mere coincidence.

"Just in case, but you didn't leave any traces behind."

Before she knew it, Noel came to her side and opened his mouth.

as she heard his voice, Yvette flinched and looked back.

Noel was looking at her, leaning against the door.

A calm gaze fell on the back of her neck.

"I didn't want to embarrass you about yesterday."

"....ah."

Yvette, who recognized what he meant, blushed.

She hurriedly covered the back of her neck and stepped back.

'Wait a minute, come to think of it, I'm only wearing thin clothes!'

Unlike Noel, who wore both top and bottom, she wore only thin clothes.

As Yvette turned her back in a hurry, she heard a laugh coming from behind her.

"Isn't it too late to be embarrassed?"

"All right, get out of here!"

"If you want."

Noel meekly backed away when she screamed.

Just before the bathroom door was closed, a voice mixed with laughter flowed through the gap of the door.

"There's a gown inside, so put it on first."

"....Where are my clothes?"

"You spilled alcohol and it got messy. I asked the driver to buy a new one, so wait a minute. "

'You have done all the truths of all sorts of truths.'

Yvette looked down at her outfit with a mixed look.

If there was a mouse hole, I felt like I wanted to go in right away.

"…maybe I'm glad I don't remember anything."

Yvette muttered, sighing, and wore the gown that was hanging from the corner of the bathroom.

The generously sized gown was loose as if it was going to flow down.

Yvette tightened the laces of her gown and tied it up, then poked her face through the door.

"May I know when the driver will arrive?"

"Well. It's been 30 minutes since he left, so I think he'll be back soon."

Noel, who was sitting on the bed, answered lightly.

He tilted his head and looked at Yvette.

"By the way, are you still going to be there?"

"It's a little hard to get out because of someone."

Noel laughed out loud as Yvette responded with a grunt.

"I've never seen you so embarrassed."

Yvette tilted her head at the words. It was because the tone felt strange.

"Weren't we meeting for the first time yesterday?"

Of course, I thought we met for the first time.

Noel's expression hardened slightly when Yvette asked a question.

But that's only for a while.

Noel shrugged his shoulders, quickly changed his expression.

".....Ah, am I saying something wrong."

Then he naturally turned the topic.

"It'll be cold if you stay in the bathroom, will you be okay?"

"This is bearable."

No matter how much we spent the night together, I didn't want to be with him in this awkward way.

Yvette sat down with her back against the bathroom door.

After understanding the situation to some extent, the tension all over the body was relieved.

At the same time, curiosity toward Noel raised his head.

"By the way, what the hell is he doing?"

It was obvious that he was a nobleman according to his outfit and tone.

However, it was impossible to know exactly which family he was from just by his name.

'Still, you're my destined to be, but I'd better make sure to know who you are.'

Of course, just because he's my destined partner doesn't mean he's not going to do anything.

Because it was decided that he was 'my destined partner' in the end, regardless of my own will.

Just because Noel was so handsome that she was mesmerized, she couldn't get close.

"Well, Noelle."

"What's wrong?"

She lucked out, and as if she had waited, the answer returned.

'It would be faster to ask directly than to think alone.'

Yvette took a breath and continued talking.

"Noel, you're a nobleman, aren't you?"

It was a question that she gathered with half of her confidence.

However, for some reason, even after waiting for a long time, the answer did not come back.

"Noel?"

When there was no answer after calling his name, Yvette poked her head through the door.

Then she noticed Noel looking at her with a serious look.

"....Really, Are you asking because you don't know?"

Noel asked in a low voice.

Yvette was confused for a moment by the serious reaction that she didn't expect.

'Did I just make a mistake?'

Perhaps it hurt his pride, Yvette hastily explained.

"I'm sorry. I'm not good at memorizing people's faces."

"....you can't memorize people's faces."

Noel narrowed his eyes, stared at Yvette as if he were interrogating her.

Yvette caught his eye without knowing what was going on.

not long last, Noel laughed as if it was fun.

"No way, I never thought you'd not know the face of Duke Aberon."

At that moment, Yvette felt her heart sink.

It was because the name that came out from his mouth was very familiar.

'Wait a minute. The Duke of Aberon, don't tell me….'

Yvette unknowingly covered her mouth.

I was so surprised that I couldn't even speak properly.

'Is that guy, the male lead?'

Noel Aberon.

He was the young master of the Duke of Aberon, and a man known as the Empire's richest man.

He was also the male lead of the novel [Love Destiny].

'No wonder the atmosphere was extraordinary!'

His face is too handsome, and his name is Noel, too.

I was shouting 'He was the main male character!' and I couldn't believe that I even didn't notice that simple thing.

it seemed that my mind must have been blown away somewhere along with the memories of last night.

"You look worse. Are you feeling any pain?"

Noel asked, looking at Yvette's pale face.

Contrary to his worrying words, his gaze was keenly observing Yvette.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just have something to think about for a moment."

Yvette, After settling down from her shock, shook her head in a hurry.

"Really? But why can't you look me in the eye?"

".........!"

Suddenly, Noel got up and took a step toward Yvette. Then the embarrassed Yvette slammed the bathroom door shut.

Outside the door, Noel murmured something, but his voice was too small to hear.

Yvette leaned her back against the door, pressing her thumping chest with her hands.

Then he slid down to the floor.

'Why does it have to be the male lead….?'

The original Noel setting was that he had never held hands with another woman except for the heroine, Liliana.

Also, Liliana was described as fond of Noel's clumsy side.

But before the original story even started, Yvette had an accident with the male lead.

'How did it end up like this?'

Yvette buried her face in both hands with a slight whine.

'I had no intention of ruining the original story.'

I didn't have time to take care of the original work because I was worried about my life.

But when I opened my eyes, I became an extra who attacked the male lead.
