An Extra’s POV

"Pfft—!"

A boy and a girl walked side by side as they entered a very luxurious sitting room, with doors plastered on multiple areas of the walls.

The chandeliers that hung from the ceiling gave the room an air of prestige, and the freshly painted walls made it reminiscent of paradise.

The ground was squally clean, covered in both squeaky clean tiles and carpets that were fluffy to the feet.

Everything was pristine—an epitome of perfection.

However, neither the boy nor the girl paid any of these fine details any attention.

They were used to it, after all.

"Haha! For real?"

"Yes! You really need to check it out!"

"Well, since you asked so nicely."

"Haha! Of course!"

They both chuckled as they ventured further into the room, until they couldn't advance any further.

After all, they had separate rooms to enter.

"I guess this is where we part ways, huh?" The boy with black hair and an average height looked at the slightly taller girl beside him.

He had a plain, ordinary face that you could find just about anywhere.

His brown eyes appareard ordinary as well, and he looked unassuming enough to be seen as a harmless person.

Just an ordinary guy, really.

"Yup! It's getting pretty late, so I'm gonna turn in now."

The girl who responded was someone who could be said to be the exact opposite of the boy.

She was absolutely stunning from head to toe.

Her long brown hair was enchanting, and her amber eyes were captivating. Her slender physique, with perfect proportions, made her the kind of girl who would qualify as any guy's dream girl.

It was surprising enough that she was talking to the boy in front of her so casually, but she actually seemed so immersed in the conversation that you'd think they were best friends.
