IF FATE IS KIND (BL)

Chapter 5 – Responsibility

Daisy sat on the bed, still pouting when a knock came from the door.

His attention immediately shifted.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Leon entered carrying a tray.

"Your dinner."

He placed everything on the table, arranged the dishes neatly, and pulled the chair out for Daisy.

Daisy looked at him.

"I'm sorry. I just vented all my frustrations on them."

He sat down on the chair Leon had pulled for him.

"Why are you apologizing?"

Leon looked at him calmly.

"They are the ones who should apologize to you. You did nothing wrong."

He paused.

"And it's alright to let out your anger instead of keeping everything inside. Also... I'm sorry. I should have formally introduced you to everyone."

"No, that's alright."

Daisy smiled slightly.

"Everyone knows who I am now."

He started eating his meal.

After a while, he noticed something.

Leon wasn't eating.

Instead, he was going through some documents while sitting beside him.

Daisy frowned.

When Daisy brought food toward his lips, Leon took a bite and held it toward him.

"Open your mouth."

Leon froze.

He clearly hadn't expected that.

But after a moment, he accepted the food Daisy offered him.

And just like that...

The two of them finished their dinner together.

---

After Daisy finished eating, Leon stood up and cleaned the table.

He carried the empty plates outside, where Alex was already waiting.

Leon handed them over.

"Boss, aren't you going to your office?" Alex asked.

"No."

Leon looked back toward the room.

"I'm working here. You can go ahead."

"Yes, Boss."

Alex nodded and left.

---

Daisy tried to sleep.

But no matter how much he tried, he couldn't fall asleep.

His eyes eventually drifted toward Leon.

He watched him quietly.

Leon was sitting at the desk, reading documents and writing down notes. Even while working, his expression remained focused and serious.

"Not sleeping?"

Leon's voice suddenly broke the silence.

Daisy looked away.

"I'm not feeling sleepy."

After a few seconds, Leon placed his documents aside.

He walked toward the bed, lifted the blanket, and lay down beside Daisy.

"Husband..."

Daisy hesitated.

"I wanted to ask you something."

"Sure. What is it?"

"Why are you so kind to me?"

Daisy quickly continued.

"Don't misunderstand. I mean... it's only been a day. We suddenly got married, and yet you're being so gentle and kind toward me."

Leon remained silent for a moment.

Then he answered.

"Daisy, it's true that I was against this marriage."

His voice was calm.

"But that doesn't give me the right to mistreat you."

He looked at Daisy.

"The reason I was always against marriage was because anyone who married me would have their life placed in danger because of the work I do."

"My enemies would target them."

He paused.

"But Daisy..."

"You are my husband."

"And because of that, you are my responsibility."

A soft expression appeared on his face.

"Just like I'm your responsibility too."

Daisy smiled.

That answer was something he hadn't expected.

"Husband..."

He hesitated.

"Can you please change the way everyone addresses me?"

Leon looked at him.

"It feels strange being called mistress."

"Then what do you want them to call you?"

"Sir would be better."

Leon nodded.

"As you wish."

---

Daisy soon fell asleep.

But Leon remained awake.

He looked at the sleeping figure beside him.

Daisy...

I feel like you're the cure for my pain.

The insomnia I've struggled with...

The headaches I've suffered from...

Everything disappears whenever I'm with you.

I'm grateful for that.

And I swear on my name... I will always protect you.

With that promise in his heart, Leon finally closed his eyes.

---

Once again...

I found myself standing in the green fields.

The peaceful scenery surrounded me.

Then I saw him.

Daisy.

He walked toward me with a bright smile before grabbing my left hand and pulling me along.

We ran together through the endless field.

He looked like an angel.

The sunlight reflected against his face, making him glow beneath the golden rays.

His long hair moved gently with the wind.

He wore a simple white shirt and black pants, with earrings and jewelry adorning his ears, neck, hands, and waist.

Then he spoke.

His voice was soft and familiar.

"Your Highness... how long are you going to sleep?"

My eyes slowly opened.

I looked down.

Daisy was hugging me while sleeping peacefully.

He was even drooling slightly.

Yet somehow...

I found the sight adorable.

I don't know why I keep having these mysterious dreams.

But somehow...

I feel like I have experienced this before.

Sigh.

"What nonsense am I thinking this early in the morning?"

I looked down at Daisy again.

"But..."

"Should I still not move until he wakes up?"

Somewhere in the USA

The club was alive with music.

Girls danced, men drank, and others enjoyed themselves without a care in the world.

In the center of it all sat Nike.

He smoked calmly while several girls surrounded him.

A man wearing a suit approached him and whispered something into his ear.

The moment Nike heard the news, his expression changed.

He threw away the cigarette in his hand and stood up.

"Everyone..."

He smiled.

"I'm heading back to my country."

The people around him looked surprised.

"And I need to buy some presents."

His smile widened.

"After all, my dear brother is married."

"Shouldn't I greet my sister-in-law?"

Nike walked away.

A dangerous smirk appeared on his face.

"My sister-in-law..."

"Just wait for me."

"I'm coming with a surprise."

An arranged marriage.

That's all Daisy expected.

After the death of the man who raised him, Daisy inherits a grand mansion—and an unexpected husband: Leon Vargas, the feared head of the Valerius Syndicate.

Everyone knows Leon as the ruthless ruler of the underworld.

But behind his cold reputation is a man who treats Daisy with unexpected kindness, patience, and respect.
As the days pass, an unwanted marriage slowly begins to bloom into something neither of them expected.

Yet peace never lasts.

Strange dreams of a forgotten past begin to haunt them, revealing fragments of another lifetime—a prince, a promise, and a love that was never meant to end.
Now, with old enemies returning and long-buried secrets beginning to awaken, Daisy and Leon must uncover the truth behind the memories that refuse to fade.

If fate is kind, perhaps this life will be the one where they finally choose each other.
