I got transmigrated into my favorite novel ever. The story is about a young boy called Yuu, who was saved from an accident by a girl named Mizuki and her little sister Ayaka. I know that sounds like a happy, peaceful tale; however, it's not. It's a tragedy, but I'll get to that later on.
When I first read this book, it seemed like a normal story... Until I lost consciousness and found myself in it.
I wasn't killed by anyone, I didn't die or even sleep; I simply lost consciousness and woke up here. But, something happened to me that changed everything.
I met the female lead of the story who I liked even more than the MC himself. She was a girl with long, black hair who always wore a beautiful dress and carried herself elegantly.
Her name was Mizuki, and she was also the MC friend at the academy. Somehow we began to spend time together every day during lunch break, until we started hanging out on our own.
I didn't plan to fall in love with her; it just happened naturally. And unlike other girls, she actually gave me attention instead of ignoring me.
As time went by, she became more and more important to me. To be honest, I thought that she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen.
Unfortunately, she had no idea, since she was only aware of me as a friend. After all, the MC and his friends were her close friends. They hung out all the time and did whatever they wanted to do. So, Mizuki didn't really think much of me beyond being part of the group.
One day, I was walking through the hallway of the academy when I saw Mizuki coming towards me. Her long black hair swayed gently behind her as she walked, and her eyes sparkled brightly as usual.
She smiled at me and said "Good morning, Zain." As soon as those words left her mouth, my heart felt like it would explode. At some point, I realized that she was the one thing in this world that I loved more than anything else.
"G-good morning Mizuki," I replied nervously. My voice shook, betraying my true feelings for her.
Mizuki giggled. "You look so nervous, Zain!"
"Y-yeah..." I stammered.
It felt so good hearing Mizuki call me by my name. Even if she knew nothing about how I truly felt, I still felt relieved knowing that she noticed me.
I looked around us and found that we were alone in the hallway and there was no one beside us. If there were any then they would be standing far away.
'Maybe, this is my chance to confess to her.'
I don't know why, but I was too scared to approach her before. Maybe because she was a girl? Or maybe because she was going out with the MC and his friends. Regardless, now that we were alone, I could finally tell her how I felt.
My heart was pounding hard. I knew that this moment would decide my fate forever.
It's been a year ever since I have transmigrated into this novel. I'm no longer a nobody anymore.
Mizuki has finally noticed me and is treating me differently now. She actually pays attention to me whenever I speak to her, and she even smiles sometimes.
And when I look at her face, I can't help but feel lost in her beauty. She is so perfect that it almost hurts to look at her.
Just imagining myself with her makes my heart race faster. Whenever I see her, I want to drop everything and run after her. I need to hold her close and never let go.
But the problem is that I am not the MC. I am Zain, and I don't know how to confess my true feelings. Even though I've known her for a while now, I still haven't told her how I feel.
"What's wrong?"
Mizuki looked at me with concern as I continued to stare at the ground. She came closer and placed one of her hands on my shoulder.
"Um, uh..."
How should I start? Should I tell her that I've loved her since the very beginning? Or maybe I don't want to lose her from my life now that she sees me as an actual person instead of a mere acquaintance?
I took a deep breath. This is it!
"I... I..."
I couldn't find the words to say anything. My head felt like it was going to explode. It was too nerve-wracking for me to speak.
But, Mizuki's gentle touch made me calm down. The warmth radiating from her hand spread through my entire body.
Slowly, I lifted my gaze toward hers.
I stared right into her eyes. They were filled with happiness, and yet, there was sadness behind them.
"I... I fell in love with you!"
My voice was shaking badly. But I did it anyway; I confessed to her.
Now I'm sure everyone reading this knows what would happen next. She would turn away in shock, telling me that she didn't feel the same way about me. Maybe she'd laugh awkwardly, or even try to hit me.
That's what I thought would happen. And that is also what readers(if there are any) would have excepted.
However, something unexpected happened. Who would have known that after being transmigrated for one year, a screen would appear in front of me telling me that I have been sent to the wrong novel?
