It was common for any novel to contain a spicy sauce. The difference lay in whether it was just a slight touch on the tip of the tongue or  if it lingered throughout the day. I understood well enough that such sauce was necessary to give the novel its flavor.

As long as I didn't become that sauce myself, I could enjoy it as much as I wanted. That meant I... the sauce.

"Why do I have to be the villain?"

Tae-seo clenched his fists in frustration. It was absurd enough that I found myself in the novel, but to be thrust into the role of a villain was beyond comprehension.

Tae-seo forcibly suppressed his boiling anger. There was no time to blame my situation now. Tae-seo's circumstances weren't great to begin with.

Originally, today he was supposed to attend a party to disrupt Seo Da-rae, the protagonist and main omega of this novel. He planned to secretly feed Seo Da-rae, the omega who was the partner of the protagonist and main alpha, Kang In-hyuk, a drug to induce heat during the party. It was all a misdeed born from Tae-seo's jealousy as a beta. Since childhood, he had thought he would become an omega and naturally assumed his partner would be Kang In-hyuk. But somehow, Tae-seo didn't manifest as an omega, and in the meantime, Seo Da-rae caught Kang In-hyuk's eye.

Feeling like Seo Da-rae had been taken something away from him, whom he thought was rightfully his, Tae-seo found himself firmly established as the villain of the novel. Moreover, according to the contents of the novel,  if Kang In-hyuk were to rescue Seo Da-rae, who had gone into heat due to the drug Tae-seo had given, it would become an opportunity for them to become even closer.

It would be nice to hear a word of thanks for bringing them closer together, but Tae-seo was caught having administered the drug and suffered all sorts of torment. Moreover, seeing Kang In-hyuk completely smitten with Seo Da-rae, Tae-seo's mind snapped, leading him to commit even greater misdeeds... reaping the consequences of tormenting the protagonist as a villain.

So, from the moment I possessed the body of this villain, it became an irreversible starting point.

"Where did the champagne... go?"

Tae-seo looked around. He had to somehow get rid of the drugged alcohol.  If he could dispose of it and leave, he might not have to continue down the path of a villain. Ah, no. Actually, there were a few more left from before, but anyway.

As Tae-seo busily scanned the surroundings while prowling around the party venue, his eyes caught sight of Seo Da-rae. With her small white face, large eyes, round and cute nose, thick lips, and slender physique, Seo Da-rae was strikingly noticeable even without asking  if it was her.

As a fellow university classmate, she had an impressive face with a gentle smile on her soft face. Additionally, Seo Da-rae's well-groomed brown curly hair depicted her as a charming character.

"With such a face, no wonder Kang In-hyuk is interested."

In contrast, Tae-seo himself...

Tae-seo looked at his own face reflected in the glass window.

With jet-black hair, moderately tanned skin, and long eyes with thick outer corners, he looked rather sullen, and the only redeeming features were his high nose and neat lips. Overall, he had the handsome face of a beta without any omega vibes, coupled with a considerable amount of mischief. Unlike Seo Da-rae, who was just over 170 in height, Tae-seo's nearly 180-centimeter stature was not exactly welcoming for anyone to embrace. Well, I don't know for sure since I haven't stripped down, but just this height alone would likely be a turn-off.

"But why am I even thinking like this?"

Perhaps it was because Yoon Tae-seo himself naturally assumed such thoughts, but imagining being embraced by a man didn't feel awkward at all. It was natural in this world, so he probably hoped to become an omega and be embraced by Kang In-hyuk.
