Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

Within those bags were many garments and daily necessities for them to enjoy the trip that will be held next month. It is impossible for the two girls, who are just students, to buy so many fancy things the store has in their hands.

Thanks to the power of Serafina\'s black premium card, their shopping trip seemed easy, but the earlier festive atmosphere turned to guilt for the two of them being treated by Serafina.

"Um, Senior Sera, thank you for the money you lent us. I promise if I have money, I will pay it back".

"Mm, me too".

"Aw, come on. As I said, it\'s fine. Just accept it since this kind of thing won\'t make my money in red. Besides, I proposed this outing, so I hope you guys can receive it with an open heart, please!".

Serafina pleaded with her soft and enchanting smile, muting Hina and Xiao Lian\'s mouths. Serafina, who saw her juniors\' loss for words, slowly sipped the soft drink in her hands as she told the two juniors about the money she owned, making the girls stoned.

As the wealthiest person in the academy, Serafina\'s current expenses couldn\'t be counted as expenses. She used to spend more of it if it was for her necessities. But because the two juniors\' hearts turned heavy because of guilt. She decided to spend less than usual.

While looking at her junior, Serafina caught a glimpse of a white lace from Xiao Lian\'s bag that lies on the seat beside her. Serafina\'s lips curved as she found a new topic to distract the girls. She spread her lips into a mischievous grin and made Hina and Xiao Lian, who know her prank side, shudder.

"Earlier at the Swimsuit store, you guys should take the design I choose".

"No can do, senior. That thing is not covering anything at all".

"...".

Hina and Xiao Lian, who remembered what happened earlier, face flushed intensely, and Serafina could see steam appear on their head.

"Why not? I bet Soma would like it".

"That\'s…".

"?!".

Like a devil whispering bad things, the two girls\' hearts began to be swayed by Serafina\'s teasing tone. The two girls began to imagine they were walking on the deserted beach, then slowly, with an erotic tone, called his name. ""Soma, Please!"". However, Hina and Xiao Lian shook their heads to get rid of their dirty thoughts and firmly stated their stance.

"No, I will not wear those strings, and I believe Soma will like whichever design I pick".

"Mm, I think so too".

"Oh my, you guys are so lovestruck about him".

""Ah?!"".

The two juniors who were being teased by Serafina\'s cheeks started to blush; it turned into a shade of pink that made the atmosphere in the room too sweet. Hina, who kept looking down, and Xiao Lian, with her listless expression, cast her gaze toward the window, trying to be oblivious about the sweet atmosphere surrounding them.

On the other hand, Serafina, who saw their expression, unconsciously muttered, "How envious!". She gasped, then with her free hand, she closed her mouth, afraid that earlier words escaped her lips. But, looking at the two juniors, it seemed safe as they kept glancing toward each other while trying to find words for their current awkward situation.

Her muttering earlier was probably the manifestation of what had transpired from her childhood when she was having a dark period in her life. She began to recall a boy who always stayed with her and comforted her in those dark and cold places, bringing a glimmer of hope to her bleak heart.

Serafina began to see hope, and her eyes were filled with light when the two of them spent their time together; with him, she would forget the misfortune she had. With him, she could face the future with bright light.

However, those fleeting memories were destroyed as she saw the boy was turned into something not human, with his flesh bloated almost to the brink of explosion and his missing limbs, turning her last hope for salvation dimmed, plunged into the never-ending abyss.

Her face was contorted without her knowing, which brought the attention of Hina, who was wondering why Serafina was quiet.

"Senior Sera, are you alright?".

"Ah? Yeah, I am fine".

"But, I saw your expression darkened earlier. Ah?! Is it perhaps because of the money you lent us? I\'m truly sorry!".

"No, Hina. I didn\'t think about that. …I-I just thought that Soma is unreasonable, for he treats you guys so nicely, but he doesn\'t do that for me, yeah, that\'s it".

Serafina, fidgeting, began to improvise with a line to reassure Hina. "Right, this is also good. How come he was being so nice toward these girls, but I am not? Is my character that bad? Or maybe he realized what I was thinking?".

"I see".

"Yes, so I wondered why he is always so mean to me. Ha, that guy is just…".

"But, I think it was nice".

"Hm, how so?".

The words that came out from Hina\'s mouth and Serafina\'s thoughts halted, for she never expected an answer behind her improvised line.

"Well, how should I put it? Looking at you guys who always banter toward each other makes me a bit envious. Because it seems you guys have no boundary between your hearts when you are talking with him".

"I did?!".

"Mm, I adore you guys, who could speak honestly without being considerate toward each other, and when I saw you guys close, I felt a slight pang in my chest that hoped I wished I could be more honest."

"Hina,".

"...".

Serafina and Xiao Lian, who never expected Hina to have that kind of dilemma inside her heart, raised their brows; they always thought that since Hina had the longest together with Soma, Hina probably knows Soma the best, but the person herself said that she was envious of the girl who always gets treated coldly by him.

Xiao Lian, who heard that, bit her lips. She was the one who always stayed in the same room with her but didn\'t realize Hina had that much weight in her heart. When she opened her mouth and tried to say something from the corner of her eyes behind Hina, on the street, Xiao Lian could see Soma with blurry feet chasing some white van that made her knit her brows.

"What is he doing?".

"Hm, what?!".

"What is it, Xiao Lian?".

"That!".

Hina and Serafina followed Xiao Lian\'s index finger, making their eyes bloated in surprise at seeing the boy who had just been mentioned a moment ago running on the side street.

Then, they saw Soma\'s body clad in crimson lightning while keeping his focus on chasing the white van at a considerable distance so as not to be discovered.

Serafina, who accidentally saw the incident, felt suspicious about what was wrong with the van and made Soma follow it. Then her vision shook. Suddenly, her black iris turned red, and her face turned pale because of the contents inside the van.

With her eyes, abilities that could see through, like heat detection, she detected many heat signals that came from the van, and her face turned pale because of the realization she had. "People trafficking? No, Could it be?!".

An alarm began to ring in her mind, and the tragedy that engulfed her that day began to resurface. A primal fear that lay dormant within her consciousness began to show its sign to awaken, making her body tremble in fear.

However, she grits her teeth and begins to shout her order.

"Driver, follow that white van and that boy who is running on the street".

"Certainly, ma\'am".

"Kyaa".

"?!".

The driver began to accelerate the car, taking a sharp turn across him, making the passenger throw inside, and began to follow the white van.

"Senior Sera, what happened?".

"Is there something in that van?".

Hina and Xiao Lian got thrown off their seats and asked Serafina, who also roughly slammed on her seat.

"I\'m sorry, girls, things just got messy, and I want your help in this one".
