Rocco Di Malvento lived a short, but loving life in his previous world, surrounded by a caring family. Despite suffering from a terminal illness, he found solace in books, especially his favorite BL novel >. But when he dies, he wakes up in an unexpected new life—as the weak, neglected second son of a powerful mafia family. 

Now reborn in the world of the novel, Rocco finds himself in a terrifying situation: he's the useless younger brother of Sylas, the main protagonist, and likely doomed to die young unless he changes the course of his life. So, what's his plan? Simple—befriend the protagonist, avoid being a spoiled brat, and secretly recruit Sylas's future allies to protect him. 

First target? Georgio the Hyena, an infamous killer. Rocco's strategy: charm the terrifying man and make him his ally instead of Sylas’s. 

It's a ridiculous plan, but hey, at least Rocco is trying. Can he survive the mafia world and avoid his tragic fate? He hopes so. After all, he’s just a kid trying to make the most of his second chance!

Sure, Laxus was a schemer—that much was undeniable—but wasn't Sylas being a little too harsh on someone who had risked his life to protect him?

As Rocco puffed out his cheeks in frustration, Sylas reached out and pinched them again with a firm squish.

Sylas continued to knead and squish Rocco's cheeks mercilessly, leaving him flustered and teary-eyed, as he fixed a sharp glare on Laxus.

"In any case, I have no intention of accepting your nonsense. You'll pay for dragging Rocco into this, you worthless scoundrel."

"Oh, come on… 'dragging him into this' is such an exaggeration. Sure, Rocco's ended up on the enemy's radar, but isn't that all the more reason to rely on the Del Fiore family?"

As the cheek-squishing punishment finally ended, Rocco's reddened cheeks puffed up as tears welled in his eyes.

Sylas effortlessly scooped him up into his arms as if Rocco weighed nothing.
