Cursed Villainess’ Obsession

“Ugh…”

When I opened my eyes, I felt the hard wooden floor beneath me in a dim space.

‘Did I fall asleep…?’

Before waking up, I had felt a fuzzy heat in my head, but now only a dazed mind remained.

It seemed that my condition had improved considerably.

‘...Where’s Emily?’

As I absentmindedly searched for Emily, who had been nursing me earlier, I turned my body sideways.

“……”

Emily was lying beside me, asleep.

Her gentle breathing and the way her eyes were closed gave her a soft, cute appearance.

As I turned to look at her, I was captivated by the sight of her face facing me.

She usually had a haughty expression, but now, with her eyes closed, she looked gentle and sweet.

Of course, she also seemed kind when she smiled, but seeing her vulnerable face felt different.

Without thinking, I gently brushed a strand of hair away from her face.

As a result, her fair face was clearly revealed.

‘What was it I wanted to say last night…?’

As I gazed at Emily, memories of that tense night came flooding back.

Although my words had been interrupted by the insect monsters, the sight of her blushing face and earnest eyes looking at me was unforgettable.

If my feelings weren’t just my imagination, it was clear that...

‘Emily… likes me?’

I had never considered that possibility before.

Sure, before the timeline changed, we had been close and she had treated me kindly, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t kind to others.

Moreover, at that time, I was a chubby and unattractive guy.

‘She even tormented me…’

The tormenting moments didn’t truly leave a bitter taste in my mouth.

I could distinctly feel the malice directed at me from someone.

For instance, Enzo.

That guy would smile and chat with me when facing me directly, but I could feel his clear malice underneath.
