I Became the Narrow-Eyed Character in the Little Prince Game

A stark white hospital room.

Sunlight peeked through the curtains, slipping into the space.

The woman awoke with the warmth of the morning air.

"······."

Her closed eyelids fluttered open.

Revealing red irises.

Drowsy and unfocused, her gaze confirmed that morning had arrived.

Selena lay in bed.

There was no pain, no lingering discomfort.

But she remained in the hospital bed at the insistence of a certain student.

The drunkard, though reluctant, had been unable to refuse the eyes that had looked up at her.

And so, she found herself with too much free time.

—I’ll handle the rest.
—Please focus on resting, Professor.
—It’s my sincere request as your student.

Still—

It wasn’t a bad feeling.

Being worried about was… odd.

But there was something about it that gently nudged her heart.

The warmth of it made her cheeks feel inexplicably warm as she muttered to herself.

‘I don’t get it at all.’

Was he just overly cautious?

Or simply too kind?

The drunkard chuckled to herself at the thought of the boy, shaking off her lingering drowsiness like the remnants of intoxication.

Leaving behind that fleeting aftertaste, she slowly pushed herself up.

"Mm."

A new day had dawned.

The dull routine of hospital life.

Or, in another sense—peaceful days.

As she idly pondered how to pass the time—

A voice unexpectedly reached her ears.

"You’re awake?"

A youthful voice.

Selena froze in place.@@novelbin@@

"······."

Her shoulders stiffened.

Her eyes shook.

Perhaps… because it had been far too long since she had last heard that voice.

She couldn't hide the shock or confusion from her face.
