Chapter 6

Anger simmered in my heart, making it impossible to sleep well.

It was almost midnight when I bit my blanket and suddenly realized something.

Wait a minute. I’m clearly playing an otome game, but so far, none of the male leads seem to have made an appearance!

As if responding to my thoughts, the landline downstairs began to ring-even though the phone line had clearly been cut.

I recalled the synopsis of Seven-Day DokiDoki Heartbeat Love Journey that I had skimmed over earlier.

The female protagonist, Xiaomei, has a boyfriend who has always been cold to her. One day, he tells her he’s going away on a seven-day business trip. During those seven days, strange things begin to happen in the small town, and she gets caught up in them, embarking on immoral romances with various handsome men of different personalities…

Today is the first day, and I haven’t met any other men yet, so the person calling must be that boyfriend who treats the protagonist with so much cold violence he might as well be dead!

I stomped downstairs aggressively and picked up the phone.

“In seven days, I will come to see…”

It didn’t matter how pleasant his voice sounded.

Remembering that I needed to have a strong personality to conquer this male lead, I cut him off.

“Why seven days? Are you not going to contact me at all during this time? More cold violence?

“Waiting until midnight to message me? Ah, you probably just finished spending time with someone else and felt a pang of guilt, so you decided to check in on me, right?

“What’s the point of just calling? If you really cared about me, you should be by my side at all times. I hate long-distance relationships the most!”

There was silence on the other end. After a long while, he said, “I can only come after seven days.”

I scratched my hair, clutching the receiver.

“Then it’s settled. You have to message and call me every day from now on. Honestly, having a boyfriend like you is like not having one at all. You’re not dead, so why do you keep pulling a disappearing act?”

That deep voice paused, sounding a bit aggrieved. “But I actually am dea-”

“Say that again?” I threatened in a low voice.

After another long silence, the voice on the other end replied, “…Understood. I’ll try to come sooner.”
