Chapter five: Cranberry Tea

["You know Mc's dad is my second favorite character!"

"Huh?? Where did that come from?"

"He's so overprotective of his daughter, he gets so aggressive towards any male characters especially to the male leads whenever they are close to his daughter! And He's such a dilf like look at his cool scar and muscles-!"

"If you ever get a lover I will tell them to run away from you before it's too late"

"What the fuck dose that mean?!"

"You know what I mean."

"Yeah lol"]

"Uhh father..! He's just a friend"

'The duke's character being protective of their daughter but even if I am still a boy it's the same.. The game still goes on even if I am a male, huh…'

"A friend you say..?"

~Duke's mind: "F-father can't know about our relationship Luke! We should tell him! I can't lie to my father`` ''No you can't tell him, he will be in the way of us`` ''but- ``''silence! You fool!!!"~

'I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING, STOP!! AS IF LUKE IS A SCUM AND WHY DO I SOUND LIKE AN ABUSED WIFE!!!'

"Father you see-! Luke needs help! He's hurt and I don't want him to be sad. If he's sad so am I! Please father help him! Or I'll be sad!" he frowned, parting his lips like a sad puppy.

'!!!' The duke's thoughts stopped as went to his 'a-fool-to-his-son' mood.

"Of course I'll help your friend, please don't be sad Yuno..!" as always the duke was soft to his son.

"Thank you father! You're so kind~!"

'The plan is working faster than I thought it would, but it's working…'

"...."The man smiled again.

'Yeah this does seem like I'm controlling a wolf and taking advantage of him, but I don't care it's for the batter and the plan of having a happy childhood is working'

Yuno smiled as he took another bite.

The duke's smile disappeared as he remembered about Luke 'This Luke person will know not to touch my son..! If he touched my dear son I will fucking chop his body one by one.' an unstoppable aura was coming off his body as he glared down to his poor food.

'FUCKING STOP WITH THOSE SCARY THOUGHTS!'

*

"Goodnight, young master."

"Goodnight, Emma"

The maid left the room with a small *click*

….

'Is Luke a male lead?'

Yuno looked out the balcony window to the moon.

'No, none of the male leads have brown hair.'

….

'There is a secret character…but he's not Luke.'

["you know there's a hidden character in the game, the creators of the game are showing more and more of him. No one ever got him or even saw him in the game tho! He's so mysterious to the point I think the creators are faking it man!"

"Fuck off"

"They posted that they're going to edit the game to add more of him! Ugh~!! I can't wait~!"

"Fuck off"

"But you know the only description of him is that he has blood red eyes!"

"Fuck off"]

'....This "hidden character" is a big enemy, unlike the others I don't know shit about him other than his eye color.'

…

Mike's eyes watered.

Michael for the last past two weeks has been trying to act as a cute, innocent little boy trying to please the duke pushing his emotions in his heart, trying to not let them out. These sad emotions of loneliness, his fear of not being able to see his family, His fear of losing them.

'It hasn't been a month and I miss them' he closed his eyes as tears fell.

'I miss my mom's special curry, my sister's annoying voice….. This shit is so fucking unfair' he let out a sob.

"Fuck..." Mike buried his face in his pillow. Tears streamed down his face letting his cries out.

.

.

.

"*sob**sniff*..." The silver haired boy was asleep but small tears were falling still.

A boy(?) covered in black cloth walked inside the boy's room from the balcony, he looked down at the silver boy as he patted the crying boy. Yuno's stopped crying by the boy's pats.

"Don't cry, I'm here" he played with his short hair as he smiled, he was no taller then mike it seemed. He crouched down to his face.

He was wearing an white old mask with two holes showing his blood colored eyes, he stared at him for long seconds,before punshing his mask up to reveal his lips.

"Sorry.." he whispered before kissing Yuno's forehead.

"I have to leave, be safe for me okay?" he patted him for the last time before disappearing into the balcony.

Yuno's eyes opened seeing the boy's masked face only seeing his red eyes as the boy waved at him before jumping off.

"What the fuck" he whispered before the darkness swallow him.

*

It was a pretty morning as Yuno was in the garden with his maid Emma, flowers were blooming as the boy was staring at the roses as he bit down on his breakfast.

"Young master, would you like more tea?" Emma asked.

"Huh? Sorry, what did you say?" Yuno has been drafting off a lot after what happened last night.

"I was asking if you would like more tea"The maid sounded worried, Yuno smiled.

"Oh! Yes, I love that! I'm still a little sleepy~ sorry~!" he cowed as the maid smiled, pouring tea in his cup.'I need to get my shit together.'

….

'It won't hurt asking a question from her…'

"Emma, I had a dream"

"Oh? What was it about?"

"A boy visited me but the boy had red eyes. It was cool! And I was wondering if there is anyone like that!"

"That is a wonderful dream young master but humans don't have red eyes…I'm sorry"

"It's okay~! You have nothing to be sorry about"

"Oh dear, I have to get more tea, young master. Pardon me for I will be back"

"okay~" I watched as she walked away.

'Shit, so not only that the hidden male lead is a stalker but is not a human. Fuck I need to lock my balcony tight. Just what the fuck is the hidden male lead? I need to read that book to know more about the creators in this world.'

Yuno looked down to his blood colored cranberry tea like the boy's eyes that he saw last night.

"Just who the hell are you?"
