I died while protecting my sister from a car crash.
However, instead of the peace and quiet I was longing for, I reincarnated in another world. The Eyes of Rose, to be exact. It was originally a BL novel about the main protagonist, Rian, who had eyes as red as roses. It was a symbol of being cursed with black magic, and his family hated him for it. He was isolated and the servants constantly mistreated him. It was only when he arrived at the magic academy that things took a better turn, but those eyes once again caused trouble for him when they attracted the people around him, especially the prince, who continually abused him because he was uncertain of his feelings. Finally, the protagonist went crazy and died. The end. It was a rather sad ending, and my sister ended up bashing the book to pieces. Unfortunately, I had reincarnated into one of the book's characters. Not as the protagonist or the male lead, but as a side character. An irrelevant side character that was barely mentioned throughout the book. The elder brother of Rian, Augustus, who ignored Rian's existence and lived happily ever after in another unknown kingdom. Except for the part where he said goodbye when he left, there was no interaction with any of the characters.
That's fine. no. That's great! I can enjoy my rich, relaxing life until my/Augustus's betrothed came to take me away to another kingdom. At least...that was what I thought until I laid my eyes on my little brother. Yeah, you can guess what my reaction was. Me, who was a sis-con, now became a bro-con. Don't worry, Rian! This big brother will save you!
But...the plot somehow went off track?
In his last life he gave it all to his little brother who was kidnapped at the age of five , recused at the age of sixteen.
Extra care - Brother needed it.
Parent's support - How could he even ask for it when his brother missed it for eleven years. Brother owed it.
Arranged marriage with his best friend - He never wanted it in the first place. They are like bros! So, when his brother showed interest in his best friend , he encouraged it.
All he wanted was a happy and complete family. But he never realised that all his efforts to give his brother a family , would separate him from his family.
"Your brother is sick ! We can't attend your graduation." - Mother
"Just come back after taking the certificate. I think it's serious." - Best friend.
....
"Bro , we already left for the trip. Why were you so late ?"- Best friend.
"Why didn't you pick up your calls ? Your brother was worried to death. He almost had a panic attack. We started the journey to distract him."- mother.
.....
"Your brother is new to the family. How would he know you are allergic to eggs?" - Mother.
"Just go to the hospital. Don't ruin his birthday." - Father.
"Bro , why did you even eat that cake ? I can't leave the party to accompany you now." - Best friend.
......
He had enough. He loves his brother too but his love shouldn't be one sided "Do you all even care about me ?I am dying here. My allergy is severe. I can die." He shouts with a hoarse voice.
"Nobody dies from egg allergy. Don't exaggerate."
"You all are my family. You all know how serious it is. My limbs are getting numb."
"We are sending the driver."
"Is dd's birthday more important than my life ?" That was the last question he asked before his senses went shady.
"How can you be jealous of your own brother." That's what he heard for the last time before everything went black.
He chuckles in his fate. What a joke his life has become ! Wish he could get another chance , another chance to live once again !
