My Man Is A Villain, So Am I!

"The world you live in is inside the novel I've read before."

"A novel??" I nodded to Tristan with a face full of questions.

"The female lead was Diana and the male lead was Richard..." I told him everything, everything I knew from season one, and the fact that the timeline they were living in was the second timeline.

One among four time-travelers was Diana, his favorite sister.

One would think I'm crazy if I told anyone about something like this, but his eyes looking at me didn't have any bit of suspicion of my words.

"So...I died, huh??"

"You'll die after the mission, your corpse will be delivered to the duchy."

"What about you, Eun-Kyung...?? I mean...Aurora, which is her character??"

"I have no idea either, she was never mentioned in the novel." I yawned putting my head on the soft pillow as my eyelid felt heavy with the calm atmosphere, it was warm inside my apartment with the glass of full view of the night of Seoul.

Tristan slept on the floor staring at me, he wasn't even surprised knowing he will die.

I turned to the ceiling looking at the white ceiling with nothing on it. I couldn't deny that I missed the beautiful view of Aurora's ceiling in her bedroom. It was beautifully painted.

Meow~

"Stop playing with the cat!!! It's late now." the cat who led me outside to the convenience store yesterday also showed up at my apartment near my college when I returned with Tristan walking on foot.

He kept playing with the cat even when I was telling him about how serious the situation was.

"Eun-Kyung, do you have cat food??"

"I don't have a cat, why do I have it??"

He looked disappointed, I sighed and got up from the bed and brought something eatable for the cat.

Meow~

"Here you go, little kitty."

I crouched on the floor looking at Tristan feeding the cat, they have something in common which was the white hair on their head.

"Tristan, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, what is it??"

"How do you break the illusion?? How can you let go of something so precious and wonderful?"

It was a long silence until he replied, "It's not too easy either for me...escaping from such a beautiful illusion knowing when I got out of there I will die...it was tough for me. But let's just say...the reality isn't that cruel..."

"You're gonna die, you know?"

"But... never mind, I go to sleep now." he stopped answering and covered himself with the white blanket.

Soon after, he fell deeply into his sleep and it looked like he was having a really sweet dream.

Many hours passed, the moon was still shining brightly above the starry night as I sat from my bed viewing it.

There was something deep inside of me, no one except me could know. No matter which world it is, Anastasia or the fake earth. Both worlds weren't a place where I belong.

Tristan, you only knew me as the woman who sacrificed herself hurting her legs for you, but you didn't know the real me.

I'm cruel, I'm a monster, I killed my own friend. I didn't want to repeat the same thing any longer, going back there meant the mission will begin again and I would have no choice but to kill Sun-hee again.

Thanks to you, I got to experience real happiness for half of a day. Tomorrow, when you returned back to your world, just think of me as the woman from your memory, a coward woman who was afraid of reality.

Urgh...

I walked out of my apartment silently and walked down to the quiet park looking back at the tall building where my apartment was.

Many memories came together in my head creating a mess, I felt heartbroken.

The first day I came to that world was ridiculous, I couldn't even speak, I still remembered vividly how the red vine Aurora's mother poured over my head.

I swore to them that I would take revenge on them, and here I am, couldn't even face the reality.

I did many promises, but I couldn't even keep one.

I was crippled, and Marinette healed my leg back to normal. She went to that extent for my sake, even I could see at that time how much she suffered to use the light magic.

Even after what she did, I couldn't do anything to repay her and I even thought of killing her for my sake.

I'm terrible...

"Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~" "Eliminate~"

My eardrum almost went broken from all the sound of countless people coming from all directions walking to the apartment murmuring one same word, "Eliminate."

!!!!

Oh no!!!

I ran as fast as I could running past those people to Tristan who was probably still sleeping inside my apartment.

People of all ages, from the young kid to old people, they came inside the building and walked up the stairs with so many different types of weapons.

"Eun-Kyung!!! What's going on??" he was already awake when I entered the apartment, the cat flinched by the sight of me and crawled under the table.

"Tristan, run!!!" I shouted to him while blocking the doorway, people kept pushing in. And I didn't even know how long I could hold them.

I got it now!! This illusion was only made for me, if someone else got inside this world...of course, that person will be erased from the world.

Tristan told me that he couldn't kill himself in his illusion, but that didn't mean he would survive if he ever died in this world.

I needed to get him out of here, if I could get him out of this world back to reality, that would be even better.

"I won't leave without you!!"

"They won't kill me, they only targeted you." I raised my voice at the guy who was still putting on the jacket we just bought together. I almost broke my back from blocking all of those people pushing in.

Without hesitation, I grabbed the hardest thing I could find near me which was the expensive marble stone, and broke the glass.

It was on the fifth floor, and I told Tristan to trust me and jump.

"I'll wait for you down there." he jumped down after saying that to me.

Don't worry about me, just save yourself.

!!!!

The axe almost killed me, just a slightly more it wouldn't be the wooden door the axe pierced through.

I pushed the white statue inside my room to block the door and then grabbed the cat with me jumping from the fifth floor.

I wasn't afraid of jumping as if I was a cat with nine lives. I was an expert at jumping from a high place. And after looking at the building from down there a moment ago, I knew exactly where I should jump to escape from all those people.

I held my breath trying to open my eyes clear to see the pool down there, and not miss it.

Tristan also made it.

"Who are those people??" Tristan handed me the white towel for me to dry my hair while he was running hugging the cat inside his arms.

Those zombie-like people haven't broken into my room yet, so there might still be some time for them to realize we already escaped from there.

I was so tired of running like that, and out of a sudden, my leg felt light as Tristan picked me up in his arm.

"Put me down!!"

"I gotta find you a safe place."

"I'm fine, just worry about yourself." he still didn't put me down and kept running. I held the cat with one arm and pointed him in the direction with one finger.

"Go right, my car is there."

"What is a car??"

"There's no time for idiot lessons. Hurry." the people were chasing us like we were the rats.

I got down after he put me down and I pushed him inside the car at the backseat, and I got in sitting at the driver's seat.

If Tristan came into this illusion at the park, then the way out must be that park. Well, it should be.

Meow...

I couldn't drive on the main route since people were everywhere, I had to avoid them every turns I took. Tristan already puked in the black bag once.

"This car or carriage whatever is...*blargh."

It's not a carriage...

Ring ring

My phone was in the backseat, I couldn't grab it.

Someone called me, does that mean there is still a normal person out there?

Tristan brought the phone to me after hanging it up twice, I put it at my ears and tried to listen to the voice of the person who called me.

"Hello!!!"

"Eun-Kyung! Help me, there're...people breaking in my house." my heart almost jumped out of my chest hearing such a thing, I hit the brake and turned back immediately to the direction of the college.

It was Sun-hee calling me.

Please don't let anything bad happen to her.

"Who called you??"

" The one I killed...and I won't let her die at such a young age again."

"What if it is a trap..."

"Then just let it be, I don't care as long as I could save her.

Meow...(It's a trap...)

Meow...(Don't go there.)

The cat kept putting its paw on my arm meowing at me continuously.

  To be continued....!
