A Happy Ending with the Villainous Childhood Friend and My Cannon-Fodder Brother

[Third-person narration]

I woke up one day and discovered that the world I lived in was a melodramatic danmei novel. Worse still, the sweet, foolish little brother I'd raised from diapers was the tragic cannon-fodder bottom who dies horribly in the book.

The story said my brother's handsome, gloomy childhood friend would become the novel's ultimate villain. He would go mad with love for the protagonist, turn evil when that love went unrequited, and imprison and abuse my brother as a substitute.

In the end, my brother would die a miserable death, and the villain would destroy himself too.

I looked at my brother, who was still shorter than my shoulder, and at the gloomy boy who was always coming over for dinner, the tips of his ears turning red as he called me "big brother"... This kid was supposed to be the villain?

No, this child was just starved for affection.

I had to teach him myself...

Teach him what a healthy personality looked like and what a healthy view of love meant.

And, ideally, keep him away from both my brother and that "protagonist bottom."

So I fed him on schedule, tutored him, showered him with kindness, and corrected his obsessive behavior as it happened. Sure enough, the boy grew into an increasingly outstanding young man. But his gaze grew more and more heated.

Then one day, I accidentally discovered...

The original protagonist bottom in this awful novel had been me all along?!

And the boy, now a man wielding immense power, pinned me against the wall, eyes red:

"You taught me so much, big brother. How come you never taught me not to covet someone else's big brother?"

A clingy, sickly-sweet yandere ghost who was raised wrong, then set straight, and is only well-behaved for the bottom, top x a seemingly delinquent boy who's actually gentle and doesn't realize it, bottom

ISFP x ENFJ

The top only loves the bottom. Five-year age gap, with the top younger.

The top has dissociative identity disorder.

The top and bottom have a clear romantic relationship after they are both adults.
