Another Me | Debut or Die x Reader

Chapter 3

1st Person's POV

The limousine hummed softly as it sped along the road. I leaned against the window, the cool glass matching the chill seeping through my thin clothing. My eyes grew drowsier with each passing moment, lids drooping as I stared blankly at the blurring scenes outside. The city lights and bustling streets merged into a continuous smear of color, lulling me into a hypnotic daze.

Fellow participants around me murmured softly or tapped away on their devices, but their presence faded into the background. Each blink lasted longer than the last, the rhythmic clatter of the wheels a soothing lullaby. I shivered slightly, pulling my arms closer to my body, feeling the cold more acutely through the sheer fabric of my shirt. My head slumped against the window, eyes fluttering shut as I slowly succumbed to sleep, the blurred urban landscape dissolving into darkness.

"Y/n," a voice called softly, gently awakening me from my sleepy state. I blinked owlishly, lifting my head from the window, trying to focus on the source of the voice. The drowsiness receded slightly, replaced by a mix of surprise and curiosity. I simply stared at the voice origin, a glint that beckoned the voice that woke me up to speak his purpose.

"You're cold, aren't you?" He said. "Here." The voice belonged to Chungwoo. He raised his arm and handed me a blanket, his eyes warm with concern.

My eyes naturally looked at his hand holding the blanket, warmth enveloping me; not the kind that helped reduced my freezing state, but one that radiated from the simple, genuine kindness of the gesture. It was a warmth that reached deep into my heart, momentarily filling the inexplicable emptiness I often felt despite the love showered upon me throughout my years.

Despite my loving family, there was always a part of me that felt incomplete, a hollow space that no amount of affection seemed to fill. Yet, in this small act of care, I found a fleeting sense of wholeness and comfort.

Perhaps in another timeline, I lived a life where I felt unloved, leaving a huge hole in my heart, forever devoid of emotions. Maybe, in that alternate existence, I met Chungwoo, and even the slightest sign of love from him was enough to fill my heart. And just maybe, I was indebted to him in ways I couldn't understand, which is why I found myself so attached to him.

Slightly, I smiled at his simple gesture that conveyed boundless care for me. Accepting the blanket from his hand, I expressed my gratitude with a meek nod before settling in, attempting to drift back to sleep.

From the corner of my eye, I caught his warm smile before he gently guided my head to rest against his shoulder. In that comforting embrace, I felt my eyelids grow heavy. And with a contented sigh, I allowed myself to drift into the welcoming embrace of sleep, lulled by the rhythmic hum of the limousine and the steady beat of his heart beneath me.
