After the Honest Guy Is Targeted by His Brooding Childhood Friend [Nonhuman]

[Main story complete, bonus chapters unlocked ≽^⚈⩊⚈^≼]

Honest, insecure girl vs. gloomy, deranged man

Yi Tu was sensible and honest, simple and kind.

She never started fights with anyone. When bullied, she'd only hide and cry in secret, then stay far away from the person and do her best to make herself invisible.

Over time, she became like a ghost, barely noticed by anyone.

Yet she had a vicious childhood friend, Jiang Yue, who had gone to prison for accidentally injuring some thugs.

And now Jiang Yue had escaped from prison.

Yi Tu couldn't understand why everyone talked about Jiang Yue with such wariness and disgust.

As if he were some terrifying monster.

Even if he'd hurt those thugs, he hadn't meant to.

She'd testify to that.

Even if he'd devoured the most terrifying aberration, he hadn't meant to.

She swore it.

Even if he secretly crept into her room every night, staring at her with a dark, gloomy gaze, his cold, ragged breaths falling against the hollow of her neck.

He still couldn't have meant to.

Just like her.

Until the day she watched with her own eyes as

His eyes turned a dark blue like the deep sea.

Countless tentacles erupted from his body and thrashed wildly.

Enormous wings unfurled behind him, blotting out the sky.

He walked toward her step by step, then bent down over her towering frame.

His beastlike, emotionless eyes fixed on her.

When he spoke, his voice was low and sinister:

"Will you still love me when I've become like this?"
