' So...what now? I'm done studying, I found work and supported my brothers in their studies, although this is not enough but I've built a home for my parents and have given them the password to my savings account, I have also given my other bank account to my older brother and sister...I guess there's nothing else I've forgotten?...'

Lun Jangxi thought as he glanced around his room before falling backward into his bed.

'Yep! Nothing's forgotten. So...should I do it by bashing my head? Nah– it'll surely hurt. How about mixing chemicals in my food?...Nope. I'm sure I'll be unable to eat it too considering the taste...'

Brrrr Brrrrr, Brrrrrrrr*

(A.L's N.: It's a sound of the vibrating phone if you don't know乁[ᓀ˵▾˵ᓂ]ㄏ)

"Ah? Is it already 12:00pm? I guess it's time to eat huh? What a pain!" He grumbled as he got up, and with his phone in hand, walked towards the kitchen while scratching his head annoyingly.

"Haahhh!! If only starving to death won't take a long time and won't cause me stomach pain, I'd have chosen to starve to death—!!!"

'Stomach pain! Medicine! ****!!! Why didn't it occur to me before?! There's a thing called sleeping pills. It's painless, goryless and tasteless—okay, maybe not tasteless— but at least I'll just sleep through it.'

With a grin on his face, Lun Jangxi ordered a bottle of sleeping pills, before taking an egg out from its box and trying it.

"Well, not much like a last lunch, but it'll suffice."

He took out a bottle of ketchup, spread some on the egg and started eating while waiting for his order.

Minutes later, just right after he finished washing his dishes, a knock was heard on his door. He went and opened the door without further ado and just as he thought, it's his order. After signing his name on the confirmation slip, he thanked the delivery guy before going inside and walking directly to his bed.

With curiosity, he tore open the packaging and found a box within.

"Is this a sleeping pill? Why's the word 'Sleeping Pills' not written here?" He asked loudly while reading the words written on it's sides.

"Whatever, not that important anyway." He said, shrugging.

He took out the stout bottle inside and, unscrewing the cap of it, popped a half a handful of the contents to his mouth.

A second later, his face distorted before he ran to the kitchen...to the water pitcher, to be exact.

Not sparing any minute, he drank directly on the water pitcher, then pausing for a bit, he crammed the remaining pills to his mouth before chugging on the water.

"Fuuu～\(´ε｀ \)\* Now that's better..."

\(A.L's N.: Was said to be a sighing emoji┐\(‘～`;\)┌\)

Walking back into his room, he placed the empty pill bottle on top of the table beside his bed, and with his phone in hand, laid down straight.

Of course, he didn't forget to make sure his posture is like that of Sleeping Beauty...though instead of a rose, he had his phone take it's place between his chest and his clasped hands.

~♪♪♪♪～♪♪...die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses♪♪♪～♩♪♪

Not knowing if it's the effect of his full meal satisfaction,

~send me away with the words...love song♫♩♪~~

or the music playing low on his phone but as the time slowly crawled by, he felt extremely relaxed...and drowsy...

~♪♪♪♫♪~funny, when you're dead people start listening ♪♪～♪♪

'So, it's really time huh? Still feels unreal... time to rest, time..to...sleep~....'

If I die...bury me in satin

♪Sink...in a river....at dawn

\(A.L's N.: Okay, I knooew it's a shortie... But no worries\(~‾▿‾\)~ I'll definitely make the coming chapters long... definitely!! \(Definitely?\(＾3＾\)\)✨

'??'

'???'

'???!!! Tf*!! I thought I died?! Or...oh shit...'

He just had a thought...a fuc*in scary thought!

"Um—"

Was he actually stuck in between?! Afdjkfdjkd!!?!!?!

"Umm Excuse me~—"

No way right? He can't be!! Don't tell him he really WAS stuck and next his soul's gonna be split! into!! Two!!! And gonna be flyin in two different directions???Acckkkk!!!

He started panicking, thinking—imagining that his non-existent hands are currently making the action of pulling his hair due to his complex feelings, but more evident are frustration and panic.

Why can't he rest—"OIYY!!! Mister!—" even just— "Ahjussi!! Ojou-san!!! UNCLE!!!!" Huh? Did I just hear a totally small voice just now?

"Fyi. It's called cut—"

There it is again. Totally small...like the squeak or the sound of a hamster...

"Umm uncle. You know that your comment is a thought too right? ...I'm behind you uncle."

"Hmm?"

Wait a minute....small voice, behind him plus this dark surrounding,. Don't tell me...

A Tiyanak*?!!!

(A.L's N.: It's a monster-like thing that, according to Filipino folktales, pretends to be a baby and eats human flesh. Try searching for it(＾∇＾)ﾉ)

NoNoNo!! Nooo!!! Please don't tell him it's what he think it is!!

"Um mister, why don't you just turn around and see?"

No! Definitely not!!

"I'm cute okay! Not like the one in your imagination!!"

I knew it! This kind of coercion...surely it's a thing pretending to be a baby!!

"You bastard!!ᕦ( ⊡ 益 ⊡ )ᕤ"

Before Lun Jangxi could think more, his view spun around and now he was facing an extremely...

.........

"What? Speechless by my cuteness? Hmmp!(￣ヘ￣)"

....fluffy, pale blue ball??? Floating in a connected red and green cloud?? And with an emoji face?!!!

"...excuse me?! Did you just call me a ball?!! A frickin BALL!!!OAO."

"_aren't you?"

"Huck! I'm a fluffy moon plushie okay!( ≧Д≦)"

"Oh. Yeah. You are."

'No you're not'

"Oiyyyᕦ( ⊡ 益 ⊡ )ᕤ do you want me to send you back to your body?!"

"Haaaah?!"

"And, just so you know, it's already been 5 days since you slept yourself to death, so im guessing your body's already devoid of blood kuhuhu ͡﹏ ͡"

"No!! You're cute okay! Super duper cute!!"

"Hmph! Now you know... Okay. Back to business, we've already wasted half an hour of my naptime. Anyways, I'm Lune, a moon system who would be your system from now on.| ͡ᵔ ﹏ ͡ᵔ |" the ball,Lune, introduced himself.

"System?...don't tell me, just like those in the novels I've read, we'll be hopping from one world of novel to another and you'll be controlling me?!!"

"—_—err...yes, similarly and no. Yes, I'm a system like those written in novels. Similarly, we'll be going from one to another but instead of a novel world, what we'll be traversing through would be musics. And no, I won't be controlling you, you'll be free to do anything you want...you can even wreck havoc." The system said with an imaginary shrugg, as if wrecking havoc was nothing big.

"Oh. Okay, good. Acceptable. But what do you mean instead of novels, it'll be music?" He wondered.

"Uhmm" Lune made a thinking-hard action while floating in circles around him. "How do I explain it...Ahh!!"

Remembering something, he abruptly stopped and turned to him.

"It's like this, when you listen to music, images and scenes comes into your mind and stories are formed right?!"

Lune explained while floating here and there.

"Well those images, scenes are part of a bigger story. And those stories are what we're gonna go through."

Feeling dizzy, Lun Jangxi took hold of the system and held it steady before him.

'ahhh how fluffy~'

"Okay, I think I got it. And what character would I be? A cannon fodder?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"...no.. you'll be the main character."

"Oh... Okay. So what's the first world? Would it be full of adventures? Ah no, it better have a lot of different kinds of foods!!༼✩͜✩༽" he asked, eyes shining.

"Oh! And beautiful woman! Don't forget that."

Lune can't help but facepalm on seeing that the focus of its host was not on how hard it will be or what cheat and rewards he could gain but was Instead on the food and woman.

"Sigh*...fine. And it's not a world, it's a song. Now, stop squeezing me and go to the first song." Lune said while Lun Jangxi started to faded.

(A.L's N.: I'm sure you already know this but for sure,; this was not literally said. It means he sighed before speaking the following words.( ◜‿◝ ))

"Hrrn? Shit! Wait!! My body wasn't found yet!! It can't be lying there rott—..." He tried to say but his voice also started to fade.

"Hope you luck~" Lune waved his imaginary handkerchief as Lun Jangxi faded.

"Ahh!! I forgot!. I'd be with him too, though only in his mind... Ah forget it, there's still 2 hours before his soul adapts to the body, I have a lot of sleep time..." Lune mumbled before floating further into the darkness.

As for what Lun Jangxi was trying to say, he's the great system, of course he knew Lun Jangxi wanted him to report his already-unrecognizable original body...

But, well, he's a lazy system who can turn into a deaf system hehe~

(A.L's N.: End of chapter 2, see ya next chap.( ˘ ³˘)♥ muah~)

💙Chapter 3: Arc 1~If I Die Young~❄️

"Helloowwww~"

"..."

"HI LUN JANGXI~ MR~! KUYA~!! ONII-SAN!!!~...HEY!!! Why aren't you—Oh!! You can talk to me through mind since I now live in your subconsciousness."

"...—_—'....You know you should've told me that before shouting so loudly, don't you?." Lun Jangxi said to Lune in his mind.

"Gomen, gomen*~it's because I was too busy, you know(◕દ◕)"

(A.L's N.: Basing on my memory...it's 'sorry' in Japanese...basing on my memory (･ω･))

"Too busy sleeping?... Anyway, why am I stuck immobile in this body?" He wondered since he had tried moving many times since the last 1 and half hour since his soul possessed this body.

"It's because your soul is trying to adapt to this new body. Don't worry though, half an hour later, you'll be able to move this body however you want." Lune explained in the simplest way.

"Oh. Okay."

"Since this is your first time, the song that's being played is the music you played in your dying moment; 'IF I DIE YOUNG. Listen and understand the emotion and message behind the lyrics.'"

"Okay."

♩♪♪ ♪～If I Die Young~~~

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river, at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Lord, make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors and oh

Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no?

Ain't even gray but she burys her baby

The sharp knife, of a short life

And I've had, just enough time

I'll be wearing white, when I come into God's kingdom

I'm as cold as the ring on my pale,cold finger

I've never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand

There's a man here and near, says he'll love me forever

But who would've thought forever could severed by

The sharp knife, of a short life....well, I've had just enough time

A penny for my thought? Oh! No. I'll sell them for a dollar

There worth so much more, after I'm a goner

Maybe then you'll all hear, the words I've been singing

Funny, when you're dead, people'll start listening~~~~

"..."

"???"

"...I think there's something....—ah, no. Forget it. But why does the lyrics seem different in other parts?"

" That's because my lady changed some parts of the lyrics in order for you to understand and hear what she hears. Now, here's the summary:

Jarven was the SOO* (A.L's N.: Son Of the Owner) of the S.R Company which leaned more on cuisine business and art. 1 year ago,however, Jarven stopped wanting to learn cuisine-related things and became more interested in painting causing his parents, who wanted him to succeed and take over their business, to feel disappointed.

Little by little, Jarven started to change. He used to get along with his family and friends and was very much in love with his fiance who was the owner of the entertainment empure...but as the days went by, he started acting like a spoiled child, thinking that his parents loved and favored his two older brothers more than him.

And whenever someone else comes close to his fiance, he would throw a tantrum.

Although his family and friends patiently endured his behavior, they started distancing and ignoring him.

All except his fiance. His fiance tolerated his behavior and still came home everyday back to him even though they're not yet married...

Unknown to everyone, the reason Jarven changed was because of his sickness. He has Almordium, an incurable sickness which eats and kills a person without any visible notice, and knowing that he's dying made Jarven want to leave a trace of him, and he chose painting.

Although he wanted to tell everyone that he only has a year or two left, he never found the courage to do so...and they, too, have never asked.

"....that's it? " Why does it feels like something's wrong... And why's that it felt incomplete?

"Yep. That's it." Lune confirmed with a nod, though it made an up-and-down motion with it's body instead.

"I think it's still incomplete...or, was it cut? "

"Nope, it's all there is......"

"Come on, Lune. I'm sure there's something more...maybe it's cut, or there's a part 2 " Lun Jangxi insisted.

How could something like that be a summary! Where's the climax? The main problem?! And most of all, where's the ending?!!!

"Cough!... Well, it's because when my lady was writing the summary for you, she accidentally played another music and... The world behind the lyrics made her want to write it out that instant sooooo乁( . ര ʖ̯ ര . )ㄏ"

"....ಠ益ಠ" You've gotta be frickin kidding me!! " You mean she got distracted?!! Such an irresponsible* one she is!!!

(A.L's N.: QAQ!! this is so me... Gomennasai...ಥ‿ಥ I tried hard, really!! But whenever I hear a song, the stories come to me and I can't help but stop what I'm currently writing and make a new one QAQ.)

"...Warui...I apologize in her stead." Lune said in a low voice making Lun Jangxi have the illusion of it having a drooping imaginary ear...–_,–

"Sigh...forget it. So, what part am I in? " Let's just hope it's not to the point where his family and friends have turned indifferent to him.

"......well, it's...."

.....It's not...right?

"It's the evening where Jarven watched his fiancee online being approached by a singer in the dinner party which Jarven himself refused to attend. He then called Alezandro and demanded to break up...then he went to sleep, in which he died and you came over."

"What the–!!! Wait a minute! Alezandro?ALEZANDRO?!!! " He repeated, thinking he must have misheard. Surely it must've been Alexandra...Right?...

"Yes. It's ALEZANDRO. ALEZANDRO VIERENZO. The man sitting on the throne of the entertainment empire, and also your fiance, live-in partner... your soon-to-be husband." Hehe~

"But I'm not gay! I'm as straight as a rod!!! I love woman's and there boun–beep mel–beep!! Anyways, I love soft bodies!!." I think I heard a 'hehe' there...

" Don't worry, you'll change taste soon. Time to wake up now, your husband's gonna arrive an hour later... A piece of advice though, you better start to please him from today onwards. Poor guy's already exhausted from dealing with fakes and then he comes home to a—"

"I know, okay!! That's what I was planning to. But how am I supposed to know how to please a MAN?!! It's different from a woman who I could try to seduce and take to bed."

" But you can... Well, good luck anyways. I'm gonna rest now. I won't be interacting with you until tomorrow... I'll let you enjoy your first time , bye~" kehehe

As the teasing voice of Lune faded, Lun Jangxi was slowly able to open his eyes. And what greeted his eyes was a sky-blue ceiling. Nice taste.

"But that damned Lune!! And what 'enjoy my first time'? As if I could!! I still have to think and strategize in order not to be abandoned by my husband!! What 'you can go ahead and wreck havoc'? What 'im not gonna be controlling you'?!! That Lune system is a scam!!"

He lamented as he got up from the bed, stretching and trying to get used to this new body of his while his gaze darted across the whole room.

The room he was in has a sky-blue ceiling, pale-green walls and all across the floor was a cream-colored fluffy rug...so soft~... The bed he woke up from had a black bedding and a white blanket which created a contrasting view.

On the upper-right of the bed is a book case and a table while on the farther left side of the bed was a floor to ceiling sliding glass window which had a small balcony overlooking the yard which had a blooming Sakura tree. If one desired, it's possible to reach out and pluck a stem full of pink petals.

'well, I love this room! It suits just my taste." He thought with a smile on his face.

'So now...what should I do to please my husband...Fudge!!! Just saying 'my husband' is sooo strange!'

Sigh...

"Forget it. I better make myself familiar with the house while thinking about how to please him." He muttered while walking towards the door of his room.

But before he could walk out, a realization struck him.

' In all rebirth, transmigration and system novels he had read, everyone checked their appearances first and ended up with a cheat-like face.... But what if it's not the case for him?!'

"I better go and check how I look too. Where's the bathroom though?" He thought, scratching his head, as he continued to walk out of his room.

When he stepped out of his room, he saw another room opposite his.

Curious, but knowing it's his husbands room, he turned the knob and peeked in.

Yep it is indeed his husband's room; with it's black and white interior theme plus a pure black bedding and blanket plus a wine cabinet next to a bookshelf, it can only be his husband's whose taste was...rigid?

As his curiosity was quenched, he closed the door and continued walking. Finally, near the end of the hallway beside the stairway leading downstairs was another door, which, when he opened was indeed a bathroom.

Entering, he saw that although there's no trace of it being used, it was still squeaky clean.

Walking in front of body-length mirror(body-length? In the mirror?~OwO), he examined his body.

Hmmmmmnnn.... Dark-blue hair was it dyed?, Black eyes Asian?,

Sharp-but-not-so-sharp chin, a lean body... He lifted up his white shirt, Oooohhh nice abs~ and long legs covered by a black slacks.

Such a nice body, totally and surely fitting for a hot male god.

Sigh....

Anyways, what does mother do before father arrives? Clean?...no—its very clean here, He swiped his a finger on the white sink... Not even a dust.

Ah–Cooking!! Cooking is something I'm excellent at.

Hmmm according to the body memory, Alezandro loves eating.... nothing—_— no likes, no dislikes; whatever is available, he eats...(ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻ ahhh!!! Then what was he supposed to cook!!!

Sigh...

Forget it. I'd just cook some mint pudding...

It's just right since he just came from a dinner party...

With this thought, he walked out of the bathroom and proceeded to walk down the stairs and towards to where the kitchen was supposed to be according to the originals body.

Let's just hope it has the necessary ingredients since it seems like the original stopped bothering with the kitchen. Just a pack of gelatin would be enough...

★★★★★

Minutes later, Lun Jangxi heard a car entering the driveway. He quickly finished preparing the dishes before walking towards the door.

He stood there leaning, waiting for Alezandro.

When Alexandro walked out of his car, he quickly noticed Jarven at the doorway. Wearing a white shirt and black slacks, Jarven stood there leaning at the doorway. The light from inside the house casted a glow on Jarven's body making him look ethereal.

Remembering the phone call he received from Jarven, his mood plummeted.

Forcing himself to remain calm, Alezandro closed the car door and walked towards Jarven in slow steps.

When he stood in front of Jarven who was looking at him silently, he quickly understood that he's angry.

"It's cold here, let's go in first." He said, waiting for Jarven to lash out.

Contrary to his expectations, Jarven nodded obediently and walked inside, directly headed to the dining room

This actions of Jarven made Alezandro squint his eyes in suspicion but he nevertheless followed after him to the dining room.

When he saw Jarven walk inside the the kitchen, he stood beside the table and waited. Really, what is he planning...

Jarven naturally felt Alezandro's suspicion but he left it be...he was still internally screaming in horror.

Ahhhh!!! This can't be! Why is he so handsome?! What if this straight male got bent?—no–if it's Alexandro, then he'll willingly become bent!! Only for him!!

Those dark eyes which seemed to suck your soul out if you stare for a moment longer, the sharp eyebrows, and his rough profile—ack!!

"Are you really straight? You seem to adapt quickly–no, it's more like you're originally bent —_—’."

"Of course I'm straight! But it's not like I'm a homophobic, what's wrong with loving the same gender—wait! Lune? I thought you were leaving?... Be honest; you actually never left right?"

"Err... About this, it was postponed.(^Q^ )"

"...liar."

While Jarven and the lazy system,lune, were talking internally, Jarven went and served the mint pudding on a platter with a cup of black coffee before carrying it out.

But who knows that when he just walked out of the kitchen door, the view of Alezandro that greeted him made him nearly drop what was in his hands!

There he (A) was, standing on where he (J) left him. This time however, his tie and outer suit* were draped on the chair, leaving only his inner white shirt.

(AL'sN.: Forgive this author, her views are quite limited since she's just an introvert who's only seen the four walls of her boarding-house...ಥ‿ಥ)

Moreover, his long fingers were currently undoing the buttons, revealing the hot body underneath.

"Hot..."

"...host, are you aware that you said out loud?"

"!!! Ahoth! Ehem!!" ****! Embarrassed, he tried to cover up what he said by coughing loudly.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Alezandro asked, pausing his action and leaving half of the buttons still buttoned up.

"Ahem! Nothing, I just got choked. Sit down. I made a mint pudding for you." He quickly said while putting down the food on the table before quickly sitting down on the chair.

"Lune!! There's something wrong with this male lead!"

"Huh? What do you mean? There's absolutely nothing wrong with him."

"Who removes their shirt on the DINING ROOM?! And what is this?! If he's gonna unbutton his shirt, do it all the way ah!!"

"..." You're the one who has something wrong...

Calming down his raging bod—anger, Jarven realized that Alezandro was still standing, staring at the mint pudding with raised eyebrows.

"What's wrong? Do you not want it?" He asked in confusion. According to the memory, Alezandro liked eating minty foods and drinking black coffee.

"No. It's nothing." Alezandro replied before sitting down on the chair beside Jarven.

He picked up the spoon and started eating.

Since the table was round and they are sitting close to each other, whenever Alezandro's hands move, it caused the half buttoned up shirt to shift and expose what was hidden underneath.

Jarven, the straight–but–gay–for–Alezandro guy, stared at the scorching-hot view, not aware that his hot staring made someone's little brother proud.

Ahhh~ so hot and handsome, and mine~ ngehehe....

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Feeling the way Jarven stared at him intensely, Alezandro tried to brush it indifferently but his body was too honest.

He promised Jarven to that he won't touch him unless he agreed but with the way Jarven stares, such promise would be deemed broken.

Suddenly remembering how Jarven called him at the dinner party and screamed at him that they're relationship is finished, a frown formed.

Was this his break-up food?

Thinking up to that point, he dropped his spoon which made a small 'clang' sound.

The sound was small but since the dining room was silent, the small sound became very distinct and made the staring man startled.

"Ah? What's wrong? Are you full?" Jarven asked in confusion.

"Tell me, is this a break-up meal?." He asked coldly, ignoring Jarven's question, "let me tell you, no matter what you do, I'll never break up with you!."

"Huh?" As if not understanding what he said, Jarven looked at him blankly, then slowly, understanding flooded on his eyes.

"No, no, no. Actually, I realized my wrongdoings and I wanted to say I'm sorry and from now on, I'll be a good partner! I promise!!" Jarven swore to him.

"Oh."

"I really will!"

"En." The first time he heard this promise, he was ecstatic and full of expectations, but just a day passed and Jarven would forget his promise. Then he would promise again, then forget again. This cycle repeated again and again that he lost faith that he'll really change.

His indifferent reply, however, seem to frustrate Jarven.

"Hengh! Just wait!! I'll prove it to you!" Jarven spoke with his head raised up. He then stood up and before alezandro could react, he felt the other's lips on his own.

The man then dashed upstairs with a shout; "I'm sleeping now!!! Don't disturb me!!"

Ah. His bunny is pretending to be a fox...

Well, let's see about his promise, whether he's sincere or it's just a passing word,... The corner of his mouth lifted up with this thought as he licked his lips that was bitten by his bunny.

🎶🎶🎶🎶

Upstairs, in his bedroom, Jarven was sitting cross-legged on his bed while squeezing hard the pitiful system who materialized himself upon it's host request...

"Ahhhhh!!! Why did I say that?!–I mean, it's actually good to be direct to avoid misunderstandings,.. but why did I kiss him?!! Why did I bite him?!! Ahhhh!!!!" He screamed loudly knowing that Lune placed a sound barrier on the room.

"Sthoph iht (stop it)" Lune said while crying imaginary tears. Regretting the act of materializing. "Ish awrr dhone anawey (it's all done anyway)..." What the heck went through his mind that he actually told Lun Jangxi that if the host wishes, he could make the system materialize by ordering it!! Now he's being mushed like a dough!!.

"Ahhhh so shamefull!! So embarrassing!!" Jarven shouted.

He squeezed the fluffy system a few more times before sighing helplessly.

"Forget, no room for regrets. But Lune, why is it that Alezandro didn't seem to notice my changes? There's at least some difference with the original soul's action and my action right?"

"Who knows..." Lune replied uncaringly while rolling on the bed in hope that his fur would be soften back.

When he was nearly successful, an arm grabbed him.

"Ahh~ that just made me more frustrated, fortunately, I have a anti-stress ball here~"

"Heck!! No, no, I'll tell you!" Lune quickly said, fearing that the demon holding him would really mush him to death.

"So, why is it?" Jarven asked again.

"There's a reason to it, but it's confidential and you are not not qualified to access it yet.(╥×╥)"

"....ahhh I really need an anti-stress ball."

"Ekkk!!! You will be able to access it in the future!! Let mhe goww! Nhooooo!!"

(A.L'sN.: Whew! That's quite a long chapter. Guess my mood's better. End of chapter 3♡(> ਊ <)♡...)
