Harmless Obsession for the Captivating Male Lead

‘…At this rate, what if I fall in love with the male lead?’

Frankly, Rosenia wasn’t confident she won’t fall for him.

Because Llewellyn Rasiane was so handsome and charming that it made her forget reality.

To kiss such a man, Rosenia thought she was out of her mind.

‘Next time, it’s really just going to be a kiss.’

Rosenia dropped her head with a troubled sigh. Her unsettled heart throbbed.

It was dark outside by the time the rain stopped, but Rosenia was a strong and fit sorcerer, so the night streets did not bother her.

Rosenia stopped by a clothing store to buy some clothes for Llewellyn and also some snacks at a street stall.

Walking leisurely, munching on a waffle full of whipped cream, by the time Rosenia arrived at the villa, the surrounding area had become completely dark.

‘I can’t wait to take a bath and go to sleep.’

It had been a very stressful day for her…

‘Llewellyn at this time…is he fast asleep?’

For a moment, unknowingly, Rosenia was curious about his sleeping face, but quickly shook it off.

‘I better not have such curiosity. I-in many ways!’

‘I happened to kiss him this time, but there won’t be a next time, really.’

‘Indeed, I must refrain from touching him from now on. At this rate. What if I find myself liking him too.’

Telling herself that she’s over her attachment for the male lead from her previous life, she decided to leave her past love as just fond memories. She didn’t want to become lovesick because of her lingering feelings…

‘Let’s quickly take a bath. A bath will calm me down.’

Rosenia took off all her undergarments, put on a bathrobe, and then went into the bathroom. As she was thinking of getting a glass of milk from the kitchen once the water was heated, suddenly…

“…?!”

“Ah…”

Rosenia ran into Llewellyn as soon as she entered the bathroom.

Somehow there was a cold chill in the bathroom as he stood naked, water dripping from his hair.

Standing stiff, her mouth was wide open.

‘W-what, why is he in here!?’

‘Why is he in the bathroom? I thought he was sleeping?’

With an embarrassed smile, Llewellyn approached her. Still with nothing on.

‘Crazy!’

Jumping up in fright, at that moment, her feet slipped and she almost fell. Then Llewellyn, who was approaching her, quickly came up and caught her. She felt his big cold hand looming over her shoulder.

‘…Don’t tell me he took a cold shower…?’

‘No, he’s suffering from a high fever, is he out of his mind?’

Taken aback, he spoke with a gentle smile.

“I woke up and…washed myself because I couldn’t sleep anymore. I’m sorry I used the bathroom freely.”

There was a fresh scent of soap coming from Llewellyn. Looking at his enchanting figure, the smell made her dizzy. She quickly shook off his hand and backed away. Her face flushed red and it was driving her crazy.

“It’s okay to use the bathroom. By the way, did you wash yourself with cold water?”

“Ah…yes. I needed to calm down a little.”

“…”

The nuance of such an answer was somehow strange. Stuttering, Rosenia decided to change the subject while trying not to think about it deeply.

“Hey, put on some clothes. And I’m going to take a bath now…”

“Oh, I see. Okay. Well then, I’ll leave you to yourself.”

Llewellyn nodded his head in a very gentlemanly manner, then passed by her side and approached the door.

Rosenia was so flustered by the situation that she stood frozen. Then, suddenly, Llewellyn, who stopped, asked her from behind.

“If you need any help…”

“…Yes? No!!”

Startled, Rosenia replied in a loud voice. Her voice resounded in the bathroom. Llewellyn smiled indifferently as he turned around.

Thud, the bathroom door closed behind her.

“…”

Staring blankly at the closed door, Rosenia collapsed on the spot.

‘Do I need help? What the hell is he talking about? Don’t tell me he wants to attend to me while I bath?’

‘Is this really the male lead? Isn’t it a beast wearing the mask of the male lead?’

Rosenia was so disoriented that she was unable to get a hold of herself. Listlessly getting out of the bathtub, she couldn’t even remember if she had washed up.

Drying her wet hair with a towel, she vacantly walked out the bathroom and what awaited her was a man sitting in the living room.

The man was, of course, Llewellyn Rasiane. Rosenia and him were the only two in this villa right now.

Just the two of them…

The tension suffocated her heart when she became keenly aware of that fact.

Rosenia passed by, pretending not to see him while clenching her trembling hand. She thought she’d go to the kitchen and have a cup of cold water.

Why her stomach kept getting hot every time she saw him, she had no idea why. She didn’t even want to know. It seemed too dangerous to know.

So Rosenia went to the kitchen as if running away, and then she heard footsteps following from behind. It was the same steps as a predator who was slowly cornering the prey it had set its sight on.

‘What! Why is he following me?’

Now Rosenia felt like crying. Being this close was too much, and just being in his mere presence suffocated her pounding heart.

‘Does Llewellyn want to drown me with his immense beauty? Why did I have to pick up such a dangerous man and suffer this hardship?’

With trembling hands, Rosenia was pouring the kettle when the handle slipped.

The kettle slipped from her hand and plummeted to the floor, but then suddenly someone’s big hand quickly caught the kettle.

The speed was simply unbelievable. Rosenia widened her eyes and looked at the hand, then up and saw the owner of the hand.

Llewellyn Rasiane was smiling dazzlingly like the sun.

The smile alone made her feel like she was going to faint.

‘Why the hell didn’t the female lead spend the first night with such a man?’

The female lead didn’t even fall in love at first sight when she saw Llewellyn. Yet, Rosenia felt like she was falling for him right now. He was driving her crazy!

‘The female lead is more incredible than I had thought…’

Rosenia had a newfound admiration for the extraordinary female lead.

Putting the kettle down, Llewellyn spoke.

“Are you thirsty?”

“Yes? Ah, yes…”

‘Thanks to you…’

Rosenia buried such words within her heart.

Not knowing what Rosenia was thinking, Llewellyn smiled and spoke.

“Can I have a drink, too?”

“Uh, of course. Hold on, I’ll get another cup.”

“No.”

“…?”

As Rosenia scrambled to get another cup, Llewellyn gently grabbed her wrist in a hurry.

“You go first. I’ll use it next.”

“…Pardon?”

“This cup, please.”

Llewellyn pointed to her cup that she had poured water into. She stared blankly at the cup, then gave him a look wondering if he was out of his mind.

‘…Are you serious?’

‘His fever has gone down and he’s back to his senses…I think so, or is it not?’

Rosenia glanced at him with mixed emotions as she lifted the cup. She was going to drink it quickly and then wash it.

‘I’m afraid the male lead is out of his mind. He must have gone crazy from the aftereffect of the mana poisoning.’

Rosenia didn’t expect the male lead to become crazy and was at a terrible loss on what to do in this situation.

The two families, Hill and Rasiane, were not on good terms. It has been so since ancient times. But Rosenia, the daughter of the Hill family, happened to pick up the Duke of Rasiane and suppressed his mana poisoning…

‘Although I don’t know what my family might think, what about Rasiane’s side?’

‘This is a problem…Anyhow, I should keep hiding the male lead.’

Rosenia was thinking she’d contact Llewellyn’s family at dawn, but thought she’d wait and see more of his condition. She gulped down the water from the cup. She thought she’d pour out the rest and rinse the cup with cold water.

As Rosenia approached the sink to wash the cup, a large hand that came into her sight suddenly snatched the cup. She widened her eyes and paused.

Looking up blankly at the owner of the hand who had robbed the cup, Llewellyn spoke with sparkling eyes.

“Thank you.”

“…?”

For a moment, Rosenia didn’t understand what happened. She simply stood frozen, watching with astonishment as Llewellyn, so naturally, held the cup of water to his mouth.

‘N-no, why are you reusing the cup I used?!’

Hesitating to put his mouth on the cup, he twirled the cup to confirm something. Then, he smiled contently and finally put his lips on the cup and drank the water very slowly.

Gulp, Gulp…

Rosenia peeped at the movement of his neckline with mixed emotions.

Extremely masculine but elegant and beautiful neckline, his Adam’s apple protruding like a peach seed.

Droplet of water trickled down his chin and slipped to his neck, then down to his chest and inside his tunic.

Rosenia gazed in amazement at his seductive figure.

‘Come to think of it, that tunic…’

It’s Adrian’s…

“…”

‘Brother, I’m sorry…’

It was a bit short for Llewellyn. Rosenia guessed that he was taller than her brother.

‘I thought he was about 185 centimeters, but is he two to three centimeters taller than that?’

‘…At any rate, that’s not the problem here.’

The problem was that the part where Llewellyn drank from seemed to be where her lips touched.

No matter how hard Rosenia thought about it, she guessed that he found the spot where she drank from and chose that spot!

‘Are you crazy?’

What was worse was that, as if to show in front of her. He had no intention of hiding it.

‘What’s his reason for doing this?’

“Finished.”

“…Oh, yes.”

“I’ll wash it.”

“Sure.”

Answering in a faint manner, Rosenia stared blankly at Llewellyn passing by. He approached the sink with a satisfied look, washed the cup, and placed it on the drying rack. Then he looked back at her with an innocent face and smiled.

“Thanks to Rose, I feel much better.”

“Is that so, that’s a relief.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Rosenia crept back to avoid him as he narrowed the distance. She didn’t know why she was trying to run away.

‘No, why does this man keep coming in the first place! Can’t we stay more than two steps apart? Why are you doing this to me?’

“Ah…!”

After stepping backwards for some time, her feet twisted and she ended up falling backwards.

‘Damn it, I knew this would happen eventually.’

Resolving herself to what is about to happen to her head, she closed her eyes when something hard gently wrapped around her shoulders and waist. It was a man’s arm. And in this villa, there was only one person who would hold her in such a way.

Rosenia slowly opened her eyes. And then, their eyes met as she saw his enigmatic emerald eyes. Once again, she was faced with the same situation. The distance between the two was so close that she could feel her own breath.

“…”

“Are you okay?”

‘Am I okay…?’

Face to face with Llewellyn, Rosenia couldn’t take her eyes off his clear eyes that are like summer leaves and his pale supple lips.

Rosenia wasn’t okay at all.

‘I’m not okay at all because of you.’

Her heart raced like crazy. She felt like she was about to shed tears from the injustice, but at the moment a certain question sprang up.

Rosenia paused.

‘Llewellyn Rasiane…I don’t know if you’re doing this on purpose and being tactless, but…do you not see how awkward and inconvenient our relationship is because of our families?’

‘Besides, you’re someone else’s man, so what am I going to do if you keep shaking me?!’

“…!”

Rosenia grabbed Llewellyn by the collar. He widened his eyes and flinched. Carried away by her indescribable feelings, she kissed him on impulse.

Her rationale was completely gone.

Their lips simply touched, but Llewellyn’s hot breath penetrated her mouth as if he had been waiting.

Rosenia panicked at that moment, but it all happened so suddenly that there was no time to flinch. A sense of dizziness swept through her beyond comparison to the first kiss they shared.

Llewellyn was rough. As if something had stimulated him greatly.
