My name is Kanelly, a kind and lovely girl. Some people tell me that my kindness will be my downfall, but I don't care. I keep trying and moving forward.

A girl: "Kanelly, you have received so many requests, I really envy you."

This girl's name is Monalie, my only and best friend who always supports me. Monalie and I study at the same university.

Kanelly: "They all chose me just because of my appearance. None of them have the slightest interest in me."

Monalie: "Come on, you're being too hard on yourself. If you don't choose a boyfriend soon, it will be bad for you."

Kanelly frowned and said: "I'd rather stay single forever."

People are deceitful and dishonest. They pretend to like you, exploit your trust, and then betray you at the first opportunity they get. That's why I decided never to have a boyfriend.

Kanelly left the university dorm to get some fresh air and wander around the city.

The city view was beautiful. Kanelly stood by the river, watching the city. She took a deep breath and said happily, "The only thing that calms me in this city is its beautiful view."

Young man: "What luck, I didn't think I'd find you here!"

Kanelly was shocked, looked at the boy, and said, "Drago, I told you, I have no interest in you!"

Drago grabbed Kanelly's hand tightly and said with a smile, "Darling, you must be mine. I won't let anyone else have you."

Kanelly pulled her hand away forcefully and scratched Drago's face, then said angrily, "How dare you?!"

Drago got a bit angry, then smirked and said, "I like feisty girls like you. I'll make you submit!"

Suddenly, several men in black surrounded Kanelly to take her away by force.

Kanelly instinctively ran away in fear, trying to escape Drago and his men.

As Kanelly ran with all her might, she thought, "What should I do now?! Report to the police? No, they won't believe me. I need to escape first!"

Kanelly went into a quiet alley to catch her breath, leaning against the wall while panting.

Young man: "It seems you're in big trouble."

Kanelly was shocked to see a boy standing with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall in the shadows, looking at her.

Kanelly was a bit scared and said in surprise, "W-Who are you?!"

He approached Kanelly, his red eyes appearing under the moonlight, and said with a proud smile, "You can call me Miwa."

Kanelly: "Miwa?"

Young man: "That's right, just Miwa, don't add anything else."

Kanelly thought, "I can't trust him. I shouldn't do anything to make him interested in me."

Kanelly smiled and said, "I have to go now. I don't want you to get into trouble because of me, Miwa."

Kanelly quickly left and walked away.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Miwa smiled and said, "She's an interesting girl. Maybe it wouldn't be bad to tease her a bit."

Kanelly saw that no one was around and crossed the sidewalk to return to the dormitory. Suddenly, a black car appeared in front of her and stopped.

Instinctively, Kanelly ran, but several men got out of the car to take her away by force.

The men surrounded Kanelly, leaving her no escape. Drago stepped forward with a smile and said, "Kanelly, you can't run away. No matter where you go, I'll find you and take you with me!"

Terrified, Kanelly thought, "I can't escape anymore. This time, I'm done for!"

Suddenly, Miwa appeared and grabbed Kanelly from behind.

Drago, furious, said, "Who are you?! How dare you touch the girl I like?!"

Miwa smirked and said, "The girl you like? Sorry, but she chose me. I'm the one she's in love with."

Kanelly, feeling uncomfortable, said, "Wait, what do you m—"

Suddenly, Miwa kissed Kanelly on the lips.

Drago, shocked, said, "Kanelly, did you really choose this guy?!"

Miwa looked at Drago and said, "She chose me herself. If you really like this girl, you should respect her decision."

Man in black: "Master, what should we do now?"

Drago clenched his fists in anger, then took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back. Don't mention this girl again."

Drago and his men got into the car and left.

Kanelly: "Huh? Did he really give up and leave?"

Miwa: "Kanelly? So that's your name."

Suddenly, Kanelly, shocked, looked at Miwa and said, "Sorry, but I really have no interest in you."

Miwa smirked and said, "I saved you from that arrogant rich guy, and this is how you repay me?"

Kanelly thought, "Great, I got rid of one problem and now I'm stuck with another."

Suddenly, Miwa grabbed Kanelly's shoulder and looked directly into her eyes.

Kanelly: "Ah, well, I..."

Miwa stepped back, chuckled softly, and said, "Just kidding. I really have no interest in humans."

Kanelly: "What do you mean you have no interest in humans? You're a human yourself."

Miwa: "I may look like a human, but inside, I'm a demon. I've been cursed for a thousand years."

Kanelly: "A demon? Then why did you save me?"

Miwa: "I don't feel like explaining it, but since you weren't afraid of me and treated me well, I'll tell you."

Miwa: "One day, I was cursed by a sorcerer and reincarnated as a human. The only way to break the curse is to have genuine, pure love for a human."

Kanelly: "Love? But a thousand years is a long time. Why haven't you fallen in love with anyone yet?"

Miwa, frustrated, held his forehead and said, "I told you, it has to be genuine, heartfelt love. A completely real love. I've never been able to find it!"

Kanelly thought, "He's really lost it. Why is he making up this story?"

Miwa: "Humans are all liars and emotionless. I've tried many times, but they all just used me. So I decided never to fall in love with anyone and stay away from humans."

Kanelly smiled and said, "I understand. That's why I don't want to fall in love with anyone either."

Miwa, irritated, said, "I didn't expect more from you. I knew you wouldn't believe me."

Kanelly: "Miwa, you said you don't want to be in love with me, so..."

Miwa: "Do you want me to pretend to be in love with you so no one else will come after you and threaten you?"

Kanelly smiled and said, "Exactly. Let's just pretend we're in love."

Miwa: "What's in it for me? What do I get out of it?"

Kanelly: "Ah, well..."

Miwa: "I saved you once, but you haven't repaid me yet."

Kanelly: "Alright, no problem. I'll find a way to deal with it."

Miwa: "Do you want to leave and abandon me forever?"

Kanelly, surprised, said, "What do you mean?"

Miwa: "You haven't repaid me for what I did for you, and I just told you my secret."

Kanelly frowned and said, "But you said you don't want to fall in love with anyone."

Miwa, crossing his arms and with pride, said, "I said that, but I didn't say I'd let you escape. Wherever you go, I'll follow you and never leave you alone."

Kanelly, frustrated, said, "Alright, what should I do? How can I repay you?"

Miwa thought, "If I pretend to be her boyfriend, she'll owe me more, and I can tease her more!"

Miwa: "Are you sure you'll do whatever I ask?"

Kanelly: "Not exactly anything, but I'll do whatever I can."

Miwa took out a paper from his pocket and said, "Then sign this contract."

Kanelly: "Wait, I stand by my word. There's no need for a contract."

Miwa smirked and said, "You said you'd do whatever I ask, so why hesitate to sign this contract?"

Kanelly: "I need to make sure you're not deceiving me. I shouldn't sign it without reading the contract."

Miwa smirked and said, "You don't trust me?"

Kanelly, frustrated, shouted, "Of course not! You're really mysterious and strange. How can I trust you?!"

Miwa: "Just sign it. It's a mutual contract. If I break my word, I'll have to pay the price too."

Kanelly took the contract paper to read it and saw that it was written in red ink with strange, unfamiliar characters.

Kanelly: "What language is this written in?"

Suddenly, Miwa lost his patience, grabbed Kanelly's hand, and placed her palm on the contract paper, sealing the contract.

Kanelly, surprised, looked at Miwa and said, "What did you just do?!"

Miwa placed his palm on the contract paper and said, "It's done. The contract is sealed."

Kanelly, shocked, said, "What do you mean?! What was written on that paper?!"

Miwa: "From now on, you are my personal servant, and you're not allowed to interact with any other men."

Kanelly: "Personal servant?"

Suddenly, Kanelly realized and shouted, "What?!!!!"
