QT: The Secondary Character Counterattacks (Obey Me! characters x Reader)

Arc 2: The Ill Boy Seduces the Yandere School Idol (Asmodeus x Reader) Chapter 1

While the police are interviewing their main suspect, a fire breaks out in the campus, leaving MC burned and barely alive. Pearl swears to find the culprit.

It takes three more murders before she discovers that the serial killer is none other than Asmodeus, who fell for Pearl's passionate singing voice. He murders everyone who gets too close to her. She and Theo accidentally kill him during a struggle.

Everyone gets justice. They all live happily.

Well, except for the second male lead.

After his hospitalization, no one mentions him again.

In actuality, MC and Theo are childhood friends. And what Theo never tells Pearl is that every single song he plays to her was not actually written by him, but by the MC.

MC had a talent for composing and his muse was the male lead. For most of his life, the sickly MC only had one friend and was too shy to come out and confess, letting his music speak. Sadly, instead of realizing the lyrics in those pieces were about him, the scumbag male lead submitted them as his own.

After finding out that Theo used his songs to court Pearl, MC succumbs to his injuries and finally dies.

"Happy end, my ass," you muttered.

[Good luck, Host.]

The first thing to hit you was the disinfectant pricking your nose. Then came the slight pulse in your brain. Your stomach swirled. It took effort to lift your arms, where the green veins were visible under the skin.

You also wore extremely thick glasses.

" ... and you're not listening to me, are you?" Asked the lady doctor who was talking right as you transferred into the body.

"I'm sorry, I spaced out."

She sighed, "I know you love playing the guitar, but staying up late to write songs and practice won't do you any good, and blah blah blah"

You pretended to listen to her as you called the system and inquired, "Where's the female lead?"

[Ding. Answering the Host, the female lead is still in the dorm waiting in line for the bathroom.]

"And the killer, Asmodeus? Is he somewhere near the clinic?"

[Ding. The main villain, Asmodeus is brushing his hair in the restroom mirror on the third floor.]

Because the university was funded by the country's wealthiest, the clinic was huge enough to be considered a hospital. Right now you were on the fourth floor.

"I'm sorry, doctor," you bowed your head. "I'll stop staying up late."

"You always say that. Just ... just remember to take your medicine and rush here the moment you feel dizzy again."

"I understand, thank you." You slowly rose to your feet, bowed your head, then left the office. Every step you took seemed to shake the fluid in your skull.

You trudged away from the physician's view and farther into the wall. It didn't take five minutes before your head and heart started pounding. You literally had to take a break, panting.
