Chapter 1

✨ Chapter 1  — Modern Fangirl Chaos Mode

My eyes cannot believe it.

It’s him… right?

I recognize him instantly.

That silver hair. Those long white lashes and pale brows. That sharp jaw. Those lips.

And...

Oh my gosh.

That ridiculously pretty face.

My brain is officially malfunctioning.

I step closer, carefully.

And...

OH.

MY.

GOSH.

HE IS ILLEGALLY HANDSOME.

Butterflies are not just fluttering, they are staging a full military invasion inside my stomach.

He’s tall, like… very tall.

And built, like… very built.

Dang it.

How does a precious angel end up face-down on some random island?!

With trembling hands, I immediately pull out my phone.

I furrowed, confused. How come it's working?

Well it's a good thing tho.

Without hesitation, I start snapping pictures like my life depends on it.

Click. Click. Click.

Evidence must be preserved.

I crouch beside him, staring shamelessly.

His eyes are closed, and his lips..

His lips look so soft it should honestly be a crime.

…I want to touch him.....So badly.

My fingers tremble in the air as I battle my last remaining brain cell.

Don’t do it.

Don’t do it.

Don’t—

…I did it.

The moment my fingers touch his skin.

OH.

MY.

GOSH.

It is the smoothest, softest skin I have ever felt in my entire life.

I stare at my hand in holy silence.

I am never washing this again, ever.

‘…Ugh.’

I freeze. My soul almost leaves my body.

Slowly, slowly....I look up.

Kaiden’s eyes are beginning to open.

…Oh no.

OH NO.

Abort mission.

ABORT MISSION.

I scramble backward at lightning speed, my brain going into full emergency mode.

This is bad.

This is very, very bad.

It’s their first time waking up on the island.

If he sees me now, he’ll definitely think I kidnapped him!

And this man is literally called the maddog of the empire.

For. A. Reason.

“Heavens, please protect me…” I whisper in despair.

Think. Let me think...

Then... 💡

What if I run to where Mirabelle woke up?

Right!

Her body is possessed by a Korean reader too. If she sees me, she’ll understand!

Okay. Good plan, it's emergency survival plan activated.

The fastest route is along the seashore.

They’re currently west, so if I run straight.

Yes, this might work.

With great reluctance (and emotional damage), I prepare to leave Kaiden behind.

Because as much as it pains my fragile fangirl heart…

I cannot risk getting murdered by my future husband.

Absolutely not.

Our first meeting cannot be me getting strangled to death. That would ruin the romance.

Before leaving, I gently place my emergency offering beside him:

Just some takeout meals of fried chicken with rice and spaghetti. A pack of Oreos and two vitamin drinks

I may be panicking…but I have manners.

Only then do I realize something.

…I literally came to this island exactly as I was.

Same clothes.

Same bag.

Same eco bag of groceries.

Which means… I’m basically a nameless extra character or just literally an outcast.

Wow. My survival rate just dropped to negative.

Suddenly...

Ding!

A translucent screen pops into the air in front of me.

“…Huh?”

I blink.

A notification appears.

[Register Items]

I slowly look at my groceries.

…then back at the floating screen.

Wait.

WAIT.

This looks suspiciously familiar.

Hands shaking with excitement, I grab a biscuit pack and press the button.

[Item Registered]

“…Whoa.”

I was about to experiment more when..

‘…Ugh…’

I whip my head around.

Kaiden is definitely waking up.

Nope.

Time to run for my life.

I grab my groceries... and another notification appears.

[Goods Storage 1/15]

“…Huh?”

Does that mean..?

I press it immediately.

FWOOP.

The groceries in my arms vanish.

I stare at my empty hands then at the screen.

[Goods Storage 13/15]

THIS ABILITY IS SO OP?!

I was just about to celebrate when..

‘…nnngh…’

OH RIGHT.

THE MAD DOG.

I spin around to sprint... yet suddenly...

A large hand clamps around my ankle.

“GYAA—!”

I face-plant into the sand.

Oh, my poor nose.

My dignity, my remaining ancestors.

Before I can recover, I’m yanked backward and flipped over like a sad piece of paper.

And then.. Everything stops.

Because now...

He’s on top of me.

Oh.

Oh no.

My eyes have been blessed at the worst possible time.

Kaiden is staring down at me like he’s deciding whether I’m worth keeping alive.

His grip locks my wrists above my head as his face lowers.

I can almost feel his breath.

Sir, this should be illegal.

His red eyes burn into mine.. sharp, dangerous, it's giving freshly-woke-up-and-chose-violence energy.

His silver hair falls messily over his eyes.

Those lashes, that jawline.

Those lips.

He pins me harder into the sand, which is, by the way, slightly hot and absolutely disrespectful to my skincare routine.

‘Who are you?’ he demands, voice deep and dangerously calm. ‘How did I end up here?’

I’m dying.

‘Hey. Answer me.’

Rude.

Don’t you know you’re my future husband?

…Okay, maybe I’m the only one who thinks that.

I just stare at him like my brain has completely disconnected from reality.

‘Hey, woman!’

I snap back to my senses.

Oh no.

He’s definitely suspicious.

Abort. I need to escape.

My eyes dart around wildly for anything useful, but there's absolutely nothing.

There's no choice but to resort to what I call a little mercy.

I’m so sorry, my beloved Kaiden.

Forgive this foolish fangirl.

With my last shred of survival instinct..

I kick him.

Right in the balls.

“…ACK—!”

The moment his grip loosens..

I bolt at full speed, with no hesitation.

‘HEY— WAIT—!’

I can still hear him behind me as I sprint down the shore, my heart and soul in absolute turmoil.

Running away from a handsome man has never been this emotionally painful.

But sacrifices must be made.

…Still.

Huhu.

Our perfect first meeting…

is completely ruined.
