The male lead's face contorted at these words, and he tilted his head as he continued to think of ideas. Then suddenly, his eyes lit up when he thought of something. "I'll save you from the bullies!"
Tyler squinted his eyes at that. "I don't need you for that, and there won't be any bullies out there who could dare to raise their voices before me."
That was true. The original villain's identity was that of a son from one of the wealthiest family members. So even if Tyler's current appearance looked like this guy could have been bullied any time by any student out there, the reality was the opposite. It was the villain initially who had suppressed everyone.
Of course, even after changing his role into the second lead, Tyler's background couldn't be changed. So that's why his background still remained similar to the original villain in the storyline.
When the male lead heard these words, his expressions changed to that of helplessness. He didn't know what else to say to get on Tyler's good side. This was the only person who had been able to see him after he died brutally years ago! So this male lead wasn't going to give up just yet!
But Tyler clearly seemed like he didn't want to bring this ghost along. Of course, who would agree to such an absurd thing? No one wanted to live a life where they would be haunted by a ghost all the time!
Ja Seok thought for a while before he opened his mouth again. "I'll keep the ghosts away from you!"
Tyler squinted his eyes at the man. It wasn't like he didn't want to take the man away, but he was enjoying this moment way too much. He could hardly keep himself from laughing hard before this ghost, but he somehow could control his emotions and stare at Ja Seok with a straight poker face. "I don't need you to keep them away. I can avoid them just using my Yin-Yang eyes."
The male lead's ghost body stiffened at that, and he pursed his lips. To him, it looked more like this crazy human didn't want to take him. As soon as this thought entered his head, a trace of yearning flashed in his heart. He frowned momentarily but shrugged off that emotion.
For some reason, this old ghost wanted to get closer to the youth who had just appeared in this swimming pool out of the blue. He glanced at the man before him and said, "Then never mind! Why do I, a ghost, have to take permission from a little human?! I would follow you around even without your consent!"
Tyler didn't reply, but he simply turned toward the main door and started walking away. If the male lead had decided to follow him stubbornly anyway, why would Tyler say anything else to stop this person?
The male lead's eyes lit up at this kind of reaction. He could tell that silence was the consent he was looking for! He licked his lips and floated behind Tyler like a tail. "You know, I can teach you some tricks if you are in the swimming sports club."
Ja Seok wasn't generous enough to offer his services just like that. He was a selfish person who would prefer resting on the bed rather than finding someone to teach them swimming. But at this time, Ja Seok was desperate to get Tyler's attention and make sure to get on this guy's good side.
But who would have thought that Tyler wouldn't even care about this proposal? "I know how to swim." After all, he had been a national champion in one of the previous worlds. So why would he need to be taught by a person who would join the nationals before dying?
The male lead was stunned, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled. "Don't be like that…" Then he paused and suddenly realized something. "I don't know your name yet!"
Tyler frowned and thought for a while. No one's going to hear his senior calling him. So why shouldn't he give this person his original name? "Tyler."
"But that's English." To the male lead, this human clearly looked like a Korean, not anyone from England or America.
"That's my English name."
Ja Seok was going to oppose again, but there was a voice in his heart that stopped him. It was almost like he didn't want to stop calling this person Tyler. So the male lead shrugged and said, "Fine. I'll call you Tyler."
The human was satisfied with that and continued walking toward his dorm room in the dark. After a while, he reached the place and quietly entered the washroom. But who would have thought that the male lead would also come after him?
Tyler darted his glare at the ghost behind him. "Stand outside and wait for me to finish."
No matter how much he loved this man, he wouldn't want to be watched by his senior while he was taking a piss.
But the male lead tilted his head and shamelessly said, "It has been so long ever since I saw something coming out of that place. Please, let me watch!"
Tyler rubbed his forehead in irritation and glared at that man. "If you don't go out, I'll just close my Yin-Yang eyes. Let's see how you will be able to ask for my help!"
The male lead was indeed frightened by those words. So he lowered his head, pouted, and levitated outside the washroom door. Tyler glanced back at the door twice before relieving himself in the washroom. After flushing, he washed his hands and walked out. Just then, he heard his senior's voice again. "Your weenie is cute."
Tyler immediately got furious. He had told this person to stand outside while he was taking a piss. He glared at the ghost who was leisurely leaning on the wall. "You stubborn ghost! Didn't I tell you to stand outside?!"
The male lead suppressed his laughter, but when he couldn't, he let out a string of coughs and said, "I couldn't help it. I was curious!"
Tyler's gaze became dangerously darker. Before he could explode out of anger, Ja Seok finally compromised. He chuckled awkwardly and said, "Chill, dude. I was kidding."
