A second man entered the dining room wearing a custom-tailored suit which looked very expensive. He had sharp features and was a face that belonged to the TV. It was to the point that it even felt strange to see such a handsome person in real life.

He strode over naturally to the fourth seat and sat sound quietly, all the while his eyes were fixed on his phone screen. His expression distorted for a second but then returned to normal.

"Ha, what's up with this script? They write such a boring one and expect me to play in it. What if they've got the top director-"

With one hand, their dad confiscated his phone and lightly chided, "No phone on the table, Alex. You know the rules."

The man, who appeared quite hot-headed before, didn't get angry at being scolded like this at all. Instead, he smiled helplessly as he apologized softly, "Sorry, ah. I was just so annoyed at that scriptwriter. Anyways, what were you guys talking about?"

Their dad was also reminded of the earlier issue and explained their earlier conversation a little worriedly. It seemed that their dad in this world had a bad habit of worrying about everything.

"Mom? You guys were asking about your mom?"

He raised an eyebrow as he looked at both Willow and Adelia questioningly. With some hesitation, Willow nodded his head and asked, "Why?"

How were they supposed to respond to this? Does someone need a reason to ask about their mom? And who was this man anyway?!? The plot just keeps getting weirder and weirder! System? System?! Where the heck are you?!

'Adel! See what you did? How are we going to get out of it?'

'I didn't know it would get so awkward! Mom was the only topic I thought we could talk about without things getting weird. Also, there was one more set of cutlery! Any normal person would come to the same conclusion as me!'

'Who is this man by the way? AAH! He's looking at us like he's expecting an answer!! What are we gonna say? What do we even call him?'

'Adel, listen to me this time."

Sighing in his heart, Willow sincerely hoped his guess to be correct.

'Let's just call him uncle. Our dad is already here, so he can only be an uncle. Even if he isn't, he looks close enough with our family for us to call him that.'

"Cat got your tongue?" Alex's patience finally ran out. "Why aren't you guys answering? Need me to write a special invitation for it?"

This time, Willow spoke first, "Uh, no, uncle-"

Before he could finish, a scream rang in his head.

"FATHER!!!!! CALL HIM FATHER! QUICK!!"

Ah, the irresponsible system finally appeared again.

After clearing up the misunderstanding by blaming themselves to be dazed after waking up, they somehow survived the meal. Fortunately, neither of their dads brought up their mom and they all ate in silence.

They both stood up almost at the same time and quickly said their greetings before running off to Willow's room.

"System, care to tell us just what is happening?"

"Uh, you see, the thing is, umm, I kinda got late and-"

"Just freaking tell us what is happening!!"

It was Adelia who spoke now, and even Willow was scared by her sudden shout. But can you blame her? She was about to lose her mind due to the amount of awkwardness there!

"Umm, those two were your dads."

"Dads?" Willow tilted his head in confusion.

"The one who came to take Willow is Robert Evans, a well-known businessman. "

A profile with his name, a picture, and other information appeared on the screen.

"And the other one is Alex Astor, a famous movie actor." The previous one was replaced by another profile in the same format.

"You are their children in this world. Although not fully related, you two have the same mother."

Adelia suddenly had a very bad premonition because this situation sounded a little too much like a novel she read before getting killed.

"System, please tell me it isn't some weird plot like they both loved the same woman and then she first married him then divorced him and married the second one, and died and we're her children."

"Wait, Adel. We don't have to develop a relationship between us for the novel right?"

"-But that's incest! Even though we're not entirely blood-related here we're still half-siblings! Please, I think of Adelia as my sister and nothing else!"

"STOP! Please stop your weird imaginations. It's too scary. What incest, loved the same woman, half-sibling love hah...

Mama, I'm scared!"

"Do systems even have moms though?"

"..."

Is it too late to change hosts now!?

After a heavy round of explaining, Willow somehow understood the situation. Adelia was wrong and they didn't love the same woman. They didn't love any women to be exact. They're gay.

And the reason he and Adelia are related is because their surrogate mother is the same. Adelia is related to Alex while Willow is Robert's son.

"Do you guys understand now?"

They nodded lightly. The system continued, "So, about the novel you're continuing. It's a BL."

As soon as the words fell, the two people present had very different reactions.

Willow stared dazedly with empty eyes as though he had completely given up on life while Adelia was almost jumping in excitement.

"What? BL? Are you for real? It's gonna be so fun! Omg, I can see it in real life with my own eyes..."

Adelia realized something was wrong. "Wait, you said it's a BL, right?"

"Mhm."

"Then, am I secretly a boy?"

"..."

Once again, her weird imagination shocked the poor system beyond words.

"But I'm pretty sure I'm a girl's body though," Looking down at herself, Adelia once again confirmed, that she was in fact, still a girl.

A look of horror came on her face as she realized something. "Wait, don't tell me...I'm a side character?! I'm so pretty...Why must I be a mere side character, huh? Look at this face! I'm definitely main character material!"

"I have such a good body, long eyelashes, my god look at these beautiful hands which look like sculptured by God himself-"

"Are you done?" The system asked exasperatedly. He didn't have a whole day to watch this narcissistic girl rant about herself.

"Anyway, as you might have guessed, Willow here is the main character. The bottom, to be exact."

"The male lead, whom you have to capture to develop the plot, is Charlie Taylor, the young master of the Taylor family. Like any stereotypical male lead, he has abundant wealth, perfect grades, and an even more perfect face."

"As you know, depending on how you develop the plot, you will get positive and negative reviews. For every positive review, two points will be added and every negative review will reduce one point. Right now, your point number is zero."

"Oh, a friendly reminder. You die when you get -20 points. Comments would be shown when they come, and only you two can see them and the system, so you don't need to go to a separate room to talk to me. Also, you can view the character profiles and the number of points anytime. Let's work hard to earn points together! ^_^ "
