Yoo Joonghyuk was what people would call an NPC. A non-player character.

Player? What player?

Yoo Joonghyuk was an NPC inside a video game, a dating one at that. An endless loop where he had to try and romance the heroine, AKA the player. The player was supposed to be the only one with the knowledge of the world's true identity. So how did Yoo Joonghyuk manage to gain self awareness?

He didn't remember.

Something inside him just clicked .

This world is a game.

I'm an NPC.

I'm not real.

He didn't exactly understand how the game worked though. If he was really in a game, did that mean there were thousands of 'him' inside different 'rounds' of the game at once, all trying to reach the same goal of escaping this horrible fate?

Yoo Joonghyuk was forced to remember every round he ever 'played'. His endless attempts to capture the heroine, only to watch as they fell in love with his fellow NPCs. Forced to remember the times where he succeeded in capturing the heroine's heart, only for them to mysteriously disappear one day. Above everything else, his memories always featured the heroine.

It was almost impossible to remember a time where he wasn't near them. It was as if he only existed because of them.

And he hated that.

He was desperate to see a world where he wouldn't be bound to the heroine - a world where he could live freely and just do what he wanted.

That was the problem.

He was programmed to act the way he did. Sure, he had some freedom in what he could to say, but the only times that he could speak were when the heroine was around.

For example, Yoo Joonghyuk take his time eating dumplings in the cafeteria and bam . He was suddenly back in a classroom before he could finish eating. He didn't have to eat, though. It was just one of his scenes.

The scenes always felt so fake. Events that assisted the heroine on her journey to fall in love, fate did not exist in this world. Everything played out almost exactly the same each time.

A fated meeting in the hallway. A brief but sweet encounter in the rose garden. A magical outing at the festival. These were some of the events Yoo Joonghyuk was supposed to endure time and time again.

Most of his events depended on the 'affection points' he and the other capture targets had for the heroine.Whoever had the most points at any given time inevitably had the most scenes. Ultimately, it was the heroine's choice who they would spend their time with in the first place.

Yoo Joonghyuk's character was the aloof ice prince which was explosively popular. Miles ahead of the gentle giant Lee Hyunsung, who was the second most popular.

Luckily for him though, it seemed as though it was the rare round where he was not the main target. Phew.

The only times where he would ever exist would be in scenes, though only as a mere side character who would occasionally say a few lines. It was finally time to relax.

That was what he was expecting anyway.
