I had planned to let her live her life while I watched from afar. Until one night, everything changes, and I’m forced to kidnap her. She doesn’t remember me. She doesn’t know me. She begs me to let her go. But I can’t. I won’t. There are things she doesn’t know. Secrets I cannot tell her, but one thing is clear. I’ll die before I ever let her slip through my fingers.

Confined With Him
Lavender
I became a maid in a horror game. And, here in this mansion, I was confined together with the male lead, who’s trying to escape. My role here was to guide him around the mansion and to give him penalties once in a while. I just need to fulfill my NPC duties until the male lead’s playthrough is over. “Once I get out, I’ll have you locked up the same way.” This male lead was kicking up quite the racket though. So I decided to help him escape as soon as possible. “Let’s eat, Dietrich.” “That’s a potion. It’ll get you healed up right away.” “The escape hint is right over there…” I stuffed him well enough so he had enough energy for the next part of the game. I gave him a potion to use in case he got hurt. I also gave him some hints to solve the problem. Then, we can get out now, right? However. “Not sure. I don’t know the answer.” Look here, smart guy. What exactly do you mean by that? …The main character doesn’t want to leave the mansion. “If you’re not leaving, then I will!” I shouted in a fit of anger. At the thought of having to keep looking at this hateful guy’s face, I was justifiably annoyed. “Is this truly the kind of place that you can get out of?” As he said this, the look in his eyes darkened sharply. “Just so we’re clear, I have absolutely no intention of getting out of here.” “What?” “And you’re not leaving either.” How the hell did it come to this?
The Eldest Daughter
Lavender
An eldest daughter was neither useful nor lovable in the eyes of parents who wanted a son. Radis, the Tilrod family’s first born daughter, lived all her life abiding by the ‘sacrifice’ that she was expected to do. “You are the Tilrod family’s eldest daughter. Isn’t it natural for you to do your best to support your brother since he’s the pillar of our family?” “You know, it’s only right that the eldest daughter is the breadwinner.” “Go hunt monsters in your brother’s stead. It’s so humiliating to have an unmarried daughter stay at home. But if you go on that expedition, I’ll allow you to stay here.” To keep her place in her family, she tried anything and everything to win their love. She believed that happiness would come to her someday if she continued to endure it all. However, she finally broke down after discovering her family’s betrayal when she came back home. “It was all a pipe dream. I should never have lived for my parents, for my brother… for my family. I should have just lived for myself!” As she took her last breath, she thought it was finally over. But Radis returned to the past, at the age of sixteen.
