Prologue
I slipped into a BL novel with my buddy.
He became the scumbag who married the submissive protagonist, while I turned into the trust fund boss of a broke college kid.
We both swallowed our pride to follow the plot, seducing and then tormenting the submissive lead, all while secretly praying the other would hate us a little less.
In the original story, the jerk hated by the submissive protagonist meets a deadly end, brutally avenged by the true dominant lead.
As we approached that crucial plot point, my buddy and I decided to fake our deaths and make a run for it.
'All-nighter tonight?'
'Hell yeah! Finally, we can game in peace!'
Two months later, while we were deep into an intense gaming session at a small-town internet cafe, we both got caught.
'You said you liked the domestic type. I played the perfect housewife for six months, and you ran?'
Tom: '...'
'After all that sugar daddy roleplay, babe, did you really think I was just some broke college kid?'
Tom: '...'
'Why doesn't the submissive protagonist match his character at all?'
