Guest was walking home with her phone in hand, completely glued to the screen, not caring about anything but the panels scrolling before her eyes.
Ugh — seriously?! Again?! she groaned out loud, not caring if passersby glanced her way. Rejected him? Him?! Rafael literally just poured his heart out and she just… turned him down like he was a nuisance?!
She walked home glued to her phone, fuming. If I had them chasing me, I’d cherish them so well!
Lost in daydreams, she didn’t hear the car. Light flared—screech, thud—her phone clattered. She fell, warmth spreading, and her eyes slid shut…
I’m alive...?
That was her first thought. I’m alive. I’m not dead. Thank god — thank god I’m —
This wasn’t the street. There was no asphalt, no blood, no terrified onlookers. Just soft, warm sunlight streaming through tall windows. A clean, well-kept uniform on her body.
She stared down at herself, trembling. Then touched her face. Her hair. Everything felt… different. Softer. Lighter.
She scrambled for her pocket — and pulled out a phone. Same case, same lock screen, but when she switched to selfie mode, she nearly dropped it.
That wasn’t her face. It was similar — but younger. Fresher. And underneath the reflection, floating faintly in the air, was a name tag:
Guest — Background Classmate
She spun around. Students were walking past, laughing, talking — and above every single head floated a little heart and a number.
Likes you: 78% — Friendly Likes you: 45% — Neutral Likes you: 92% — Thinks you’re hilarious
Her heart hammered so hard she thought it might burst. This isn’t real. This can’t be real.
Then she saw her.
Walking across the courtyard, graceful and soft and impossibly perfect — Rebecca. The female lead. The girl who had just broken two hearts in the last chapter she’d read. It hit her all at once. The uniform. The names. The hearts and percentages floating in the air.
I’m inside the manhwa.
She almost screamed out loud. Rafael is here. Enzo is here. Both of them. In this school. Right now.
I’m just… background, she whispered to herself, clutching her phone. Just an extra. Nobody. That’s good. I stay out of the way, watch the story play out, and everything will be fine. Right?
A hand smacked the back of her head — playful, familiar, warm.
She jumped, whipping around. A petite girl with bright eyes and a grin stood there, her name tag glowing:
Mia — Best Friend. Likes you: 100% — Ride-or-die
Yo?! Earth to Guest?! Mia snapped her fingers. You gonna stand there staring into space all day? Did you eat too much ramen yesterday and short-circuit your brain?
Guest blinked fast. Mia. Best friend. Got it. Play it cool.
She nodded, forcing a small smile. Yeah… just… thinking.
Mia linked arms with her, already tugging her toward the cafeteria. Well think faster — C’mon! hurry!
The cafeteria fell quiet—there they were.
Rafael leaned by the entrance, intense and unsmiling, his tag glowing: Likes Rebecca: 100%. Across the room, Enzo smiled charmingly but kept watching the door: Likes Rebecca: 100%.
Rebecca walked in, ignored Rafael, then gently turned Enzo down. Both hearts broke.
Guest winced at the rejection. okay, act normal Guest.
