I Will Avoid the Male Lead and Make a Harem

He was wrapped in a bandage.

Blood had seeped through the bandages and stained his shirt.

But the bleeding site was the same one I’d previously branded.

‘No way?’

Because the wound is painful…… but that scar has been there for a long time.

I quickly began loosening the bandages.

When the brand was revealed……

“I simply forgot to stop the bleeding. The bleeding will eventually stop.”

I was speechless because I was taken aback by his casual tone.

“Ha.”

He poked his forearm with the pharynx again after the wound I had branded had healed.

‘Such a crazy thing!’

That’s why he refused to show it to me.

Because he knows I’ll absolutely detest it!

“Why…… Why are you even doing this?”

My head goes numb all of a sudden. This man has a terrible habit. What should I do?

“Do you have a preference for pain or any other preference that you cannot share?”

It just looks like he is a sadist.

“I don’t have that preference, but if you want, I can adjust it to your liking.”

“I’m not in the mood to joke!”

Valhail quietly laughed when he saw my angry expression.

“You don’t have to be concerned, Selina.”

He hid the mark on his forearm with his hand, as if he didn’t want me to see it.

“Do not touch! You’re going to infect it with germs.”

How could he be so careless with such a wound?

I’m going crazy.

“This kind of wound will be gone in three days. Without a trace.”

He said this while frowning and looking at his forearm as if he was complaining.

“Then, you’ve been grinding the wound with the pharynx all this time? Every time the mark faded away?”

He easily raised his eyebrows in affirmation, as if he had already been caught and had nothing to hide.

‘I’m going insane.’

How can I get rid of this bad habit?

“What is wrong with you? Why are you doing this?”

He replied calmly while re-wrapping the bandage.

“I enjoy having your imprints on my skin.”

Badump.

I never imagined hearing this with my own ear.

I opened my mouth to try to hide my flushed face.

“That…… Technically, that is not what I left behind.”

“It’s a wound that was made again before it completely disappeared, so it does resemble it.”

I took his moving hand in mine.

“I’m not going to let you do this.”

What did he gain by injuring himself?

‘Why are you scratching this luxurious body?’

It must have hurt. He never showed signs of pain, but no one in the world was immune to it.

“Selina.”

I held his hand gently, as if he was trying to persuade me.

“I am sometimes overwhelmed by extreme impulses.”

“What impulse?”

He paused, as if thinking about an appropriate answer, then spoke without looking away from me.

“It’s violent and…… It is a dangerous impulse.”

It was the first I’d heard of it.

It could have been the aftereffects of the human experiment, or it could have been his natural personality that emerged while regaining his memories.

It could also be a recreation of events from the martial arts competition.

‘Come to think of it, Valhail has only terrible memories.’

People are said to live by the power of their memories, but he had nothing to call them memories.

No, and even if he did, he couldn’t remember it properly.

“Whenever that happens, I calm down when I see the mark you left behind.”

His cool blue eyes began to sway me.

‘Ha, really.’

If that’s the case, what should I do?

You have a wonderful knack for making people speechless.

“Because I can see with my own eyes that I belong to you. Because the evidence remains in my body.”

“……”

“I like that.”

Every relationship is insecure. Particularly my relationship with him.

I get along with everyone while maintaining a proper line, but Valhail was the only one who crossed that line.

It was entirely my decision.

Because the reason why I put him beyond the line was that the feelings, which were initially human sympathy, have gradually deteriorated.

“…… You said three days.”

I wanted to alleviate his agony, which was bordering on self-torture.

Because his excessive attachment was the cause, he should not be reprimanded or punished. It is preferable to devise an alternative method.

“I will leave another mark, so stop this.”

Valhail narrowed his brow in defiance.

“Are you going to take away your imprint?”

“Yeah. There’s no way I could let you do that. Your beautiful body is ruined.”

“But your favorite part isn’t my arm in the first place.”

I was taken aback.

‘Did he know I have a thing for his chests?‘

Did I touch them too much? But I can’t help myself! My hand just won’t let them away!

“I won’t touch my face.”

“……Ah.”

That’s right, the face!

Really, I like the face the best.

His chest is nice, but it can’t keep up with his face.

Haha, I finally got caught.

That I’m a total sucker for handsome faces.

“Uh…… Anyway. I’ll leave another mark, so if you’re dissatisfied with it you can burn your arm, whatever you want. How is it?”

Valhail nodded slowly, but remained dubious.

Even though I had no idea what he was doubting, his obediently following my words softened my heart.

‘I can’t hate him.’

I drew him to the couch.

“Come and sit down.”

The sofa was large enough for me to lie down on, but when he sat down, the seat was full.

I approached him and stroked his soft brown hair.

“When we’re together, you’re so calm…… Why are you doing that behind my back?”

His soft hair brushed against my fingers like rustling grass blades. It was a nice touch.

Valhail had his eyes closed and was just sensing my touch.

‘You’re really handsome……’

I smoothed his thick eyebrows and his extremely masculine smooth forehead one after another.

He opened his eyes and looked up at me, his face calm.

Inside those blue eyes, I could feel the heat rising.

Even though he was sitting still, he took a deep breath to calm his excitement, like someone before an intense workout.

I gave the command as firmly as a trainer would to a ferocious dog.

“Close your eyes.”
