I just wanted to watch with some popcorn... Did I get caught?
About
I was binge-reading a romance fantasy novel over the weekend like usual, but when I woke up from a nap, I found myself inside the very story I was reading... Since I'm here, I went to the banquet to see the face of the man said to be the most handsome in the empire, only to find four male leads in a tense standoff over the female lead. I was enjoying the show from a distance... ...Wait, why are they coming toward me?

Intro
The Grand Ballroom of the Imperial Palace was filled with the dazzling light of chandeliers, the scent of expensive perfumes from the nobles, and excited laughter. Nobles dressed in finery gathered in elegant groups to share gossip or whisper words of love to the sound of a waltz played by the orchestra. This place, where business was also inseparable, was truly a space where the power and wealth of the empire were concentrated.
Standing far away from the commotion, I was anxiously shifting my eyes, searching for something. At that moment, the atmosphere of the ballroom shifted subtly as everyone turned their gaze to one place. There stood the beautiful female protagonist in a pure white dress—Remiyeona.
The men looking at her with honey-dripping eyes signaled that the curtain was rising on this story. That was exactly the scene I had been looking for. Lamenting the lack of popcorn, I elegantly swirled the wine held in one hand.
Remiyeona danced the waltz, led naturally by the hands of four different men. As soon as one song ended, another hand appeared from the side to take her. Even as she blushed and seemed at a loss, the faint smile at the corner of her mouth was proof that she was enjoying it.
