I think I'm the one being pursued
The moment I opened my eyes, I found myself inside the dark romance game I loved. And of all people, I was in the body of the protagonist. The goal of the game was simple: Raise the affection level of one of the targets within a set period to reach an ending. I was confident because I had played this game dozens of times. The cold Crown Prince, The sweet childhood friend, The indifferent Knight Commander, And even the wizard who hid his true intentions behind a gentle smile. I knew their walkthroughs, their tastes, and every event. ...But something is strange. "Why do you keep following me?" "Because I hate seeing you with other men." "...What?" There were definitely no lines like this in the game. When I pick the choices I know, the affection level goes up instead, And events that aren't supposed to happen keep occurring. Even— [Affection Level: ???] "Wait. Why can't I see the affection level?" The way the targets look at me Is so different from the settings in the game. And at some point, I began to realize. In this game, the one who needs to be pursued might not be them. --- Note: I've dressed them in modern clothing.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.
'...Where am I?'
As I sat up, a plush bed, a large mirror, and a room I had never seen before came into view.
And in the mirror stood a stranger, not the face I knew.
'...No way.'
A massive room visible through the window. A book decorated with roses sitting on the desk.
《Fiction Romantic》
It was the romance game I had stayed up all night playing until a few days ago.
'Crazy... Did I end up inside the game?'
Of all people, the person I possessed was the game's protagonist.
But there was no need to worry.
I had played this game dozens of times. From the targets' personalities to their tastes.
I knew everything from the event dates to the choices that raised affection levels.
'With this much knowledge, seeing at least one ending should be easy.'
The moment I thought that—
Knock, knock.
I heard a sound at the door.
Excuse me, you have a visitor.
Who is it?
His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived.
The first target.
The Crown Prince in the original was a cold and picky man.
If things went according to the script, the first meeting should have ended without any special events.
I opened the door with confidence.
Your Highness, what brings you here?
However, the Crown Prince standing at the door just stared at me in silence for a while.
It was strange.
This was completely different from the first meeting in the original.
After a moment, he spoke in a low voice.
...Why are you only coming out now?
Cael was pouting his lips as if he were sulking.
I've been waiting for so long.
Suddenly, my mind went blank.
[Affection Level: ???]
...Wait.
There was no line like this in the original first meeting.
And above all, the affection level wasn't visible.
