After a while, Tyler went offline when the male lead still refused to give him a reply. When he woke up in the real world and took off the headset, he could still feel his heartbeat faster than usual, even though the kissing stimulation had just happened in the virtual platform. He traced his lips the same way that person had done twice, and soon, he became angry.
What was the meaning of this? What was his lover playing at?! How could the male lead do this to him?
Did that person want to die in his hands so much that the male lead played a prank like this? Or did he not remember anything at all?
Tyler rubbed his forehead after thinking about this and got up from his seat. For now, he at least had one conclusion: His senior was present among the people in this company. But it was still tricky since this gaming firm was so big that it had multiple teams and even coaches. Of course, Tyler also couldn't rule out the people that worked as a staff member.
He sighed and opened the door to his room, and walked through the corridor as he contemplated what he should do next. From what he could see, his lover should have a high position. Otherwise, how could that person enter his room without hesitation? The security in this world was higher than anything else, and no one was eligible to enter any player's bedroom unless they had authority. So it must mean that the male lead should belong to the staff having a higher position in the company.
Even though this further narrowed down his search, Tyler still couldn't tell his senior since many people were still with higher authority. He could think of ten coaches to start with who had the spare keys of every player in this company. Then came the managers, HQ department, PR, and even the head. Of course, he also had to consider if these people had family members who could have entered the company.
Tyler got a headache thinking of this, but he wasn't entirely disappointed with his senior this time. At least, that person wasn't involved in destroying his plans like before. The recent action of coming online and kissing him already changed the course of events.
To start with, Tyler knew that the male lead definitely wouldn't go with the female lead this time around. He felt his heart calming down at this thought. It was a good thing that his lover wouldn't end up following the storyline. This gave him a little bit of solace.
He didn't know that when he was wandering around the corridor like a headless fly, a specific male lead was following him at a distance. If only Tyler were to turn around, he would be able to realize that this stalker instead had the potential to be his male lead. Otherwise, why would someone continue to follow him like this if it weren't for his senior?
But unfortunately, a lot of people were wandering in that corridor. Some of them were even the people who knew Tyler's role this time very well. Since the original owner of this body was quite good at socializing, almost all the players considered him a social butterfly.
One of them tapped on Tyler's back and directly hung his hand on the man's neck, shaking him back and forth wildly. "Seta Yuji! Where the heck were you last night?"
Tyler was shaken in the middle of the corridor, and for a moment, he felt dizzy all of a sudden. After rubbing his forehead, he tentatively separated himself and this new person as he glared at the man who had just appeared in front of him.
This was a blonde guy who belonged to another group, but he and Setu Yuji were best buddies who would often go to karaoke and sing all night with mutual friends. So it wasn't strange to see this person coming and strangling his neck all of a sudden, but for some reason, Tyler felt an ominous hunch in his heart that maybe his senior was watching this scene. He turned back all of a sudden and saw many people walking around.
He frowned and shook his head. Maybe it was all just in his head. His lips pursed as he glanced at the so-called friend of his and said, "I'm not interested in this anymore."
The friend didn't listen to him and put his arms around Tyler's neck again. "So you're still angry for that day. I told you already! I'm not interested in the girl you like! When will you wake up?"
"The girl I like….?" How come Tyler didn't know he liked someone? His brows furrowed even deeper at that as he thought of a possible reason for this. It might be that the original owner had perhaps had a crush on someone, and it was most likely that many people knew about this.
….then his senior also must be aware of it! A trace of anxiety flashed in his heart. He would have to get rid of this notion as soon as possible!
"I don't like anyone," Tyler spoke in a cold tone.
"Really?" The friend was skeptical and shrugged. "Whatever you say, man. I'll believe you for a while."
Tyler cursed the original Seta Yuji in his heart. Just how much trouble did that person create for him before he came into this body?! He rubbed his forehead in irritation and decided to ignore this stupid friend for a while. After that, he started walking forward as he thought of going to the gaming room. Perhaps he would meet his lover there.
His mood instantly got better as he ignored the friend.
Behind both of them, the male lead's footsteps were frozen as he stared at Tyler and his friend, who put his arms around Tyler's neck for the third time. The male lead put his hands in his pockets to hide his clenching fist. His expressions darkened as he stared at both of their backs and turned around to leave this corridor.
He wanted to break the hand that touched his man! But what else could he do? This was the first time he ever felt so jealous of someone!
But now wasn't the time. The male lead took a deep breath and calmed himself. The people around him saw his twisted face, but they didn't say anything. They lowered their heads and walked past without daring to say a single word.
