Chereads / The Substitute (BL) / Chapter 3 - 02

Chapter 3 - 02

Avery stared in the mirror looking at his current body. River Spencer was beautiful.

Was.

He turned to the dresser next to his full length mirror. He scrutinized the knick knacks laying about before opening the drawer.

'Here you are...' Avery thought.

Bottles containing pills were stacked together inside the drawer but they are unopened.

He looked inside throughly but couldn't find anything else.

'Not even a journal?' He thought.

'What about his phone? Where is it?'

Avery frowned in thought before going towards the bed and rummaging near the headboard.

"Bingo." He whispered.

Avery is very familiar with this routine. Due to his curiosity, after he transmigrates to every world, he will immediately try to find out why the former body owner killed themselves. 

It helps Avery in his job as a substitute for the former people who quit their role.

Moreover, it also helps him figure out the flaws he can exploit to change the script.

He pulled out a half filled bottle of sleeping pills.

'So, this is what killed the former body owner. I wonder why he deviated from the plot.Why did he killed himself?'

He tightened his hold on the bottle as he stared at it blankly.

'But majority of the time, the reason why they killed themselves is because they cannot handle the plot of their world,' Avery thought.

'Is it the same case with this one? That would be incredibly boring...'

A cheery tune suddenly broke Avery out of his reverie.

'The phone!'

He listened closely and found it lying underneath his wardrobe. He stretched out his hand reaching for it but stopped.

He was too focused on staring at the bottle earlier to see whats on his hands.

Scars.

Old scars that look like its years old and new ones that looks like its been cut by a box cutter and what looks like pinch marks.

His eyes widened.

"Interesting." Avery muttered before laughing.

Those scars were not cut deep. Its not because River is suicidal. If River's intention was to kill himself by cutting, then he would have killed himself the same way when he left this world.

But River chose sleeping pills.

Most will choose sleeping pills because kills you in your sleep.

The scars were made by River hinself but River did not like pain.

"Yes, finally! Finally, something interesting." He exclaimed talking to himself happily.

Those scars are the proof of a flaw in River Spencer's character that he can exploit.
