Chapter 4
Hazel’s skin was suddenly covered in thick, soft fur. From a distance, she looked just like a fox.
“Hazel, are you seriously into cosplay now? What’s this supposed to be? And geez, that smell is awful.”
A coworker curiously pinched her fur, making Hazel yelp in pain.

“Holy crap, this is real? It’s not some glued–on costume? Are you sure you didn’t catch some weird disease? You literally look like a fox.”
“Quick! Open the window! I can’t breathe.”
Her roommate pinched her nose and fanned the air frantically. Unable to take it anymore, she ran to the bathroom and bent over the sink, gagging.
Hazel’s face turned from pale to dark, looking downright terrifying.
When she saw me walk in, the anger in her eyes finally exploded.
“Charlotte! You just left like that? And why didn’t anything grow
on you?
“You did something to me, didn’t you? You messed with me, and
Chapter 4
now I’m like this!”
I lifted my shirt slightly, revealing the fine layer of fur on my stomach.
“Huh? That’s weird. How did you know I was growing fur?
“Are you psychic or something?”
Seeing this, Hazel let out a sigh of relief, her expression softening a little. She stammered.

“I… I just guessed. It’s just an allergic reaction. The doctor said it’ll get better after I take my meds.”
I studied her furry arms and casually added.
“Hazel, this allergy of yours looks pretty extreme. Are you sure it’s just that? It smells awful, too. You haven’t been messing around, have you?
“I mean, love and relationships are fine and all, but you should at least be careful about who you’re with. I’d suggest you stay in the dorm for a while.
“A woman’s face is her most important asset. You were already pretty average–looking, and now? Anyone who sees you is gonna freak out. You should get to a hospital, like, immediately.”
Hazel’s face turned red with anger. She wanted to snap back, but in the end, all she could do was awkwardly explain.

“I’m fine. The medicine is working. Thanks for your concern.”
Concern? Please. I’d love to see her suffer.
I pressed my lips together, holding back a smirk. Whatever happened to her had nothing to do with me.
Over the next few days, Hazel kept sneaking glances at the porcelain bottle on my desk. Thinking I didn’t notice, she secretly took it back to our dorm and stashed it under my bed.
She was quite pleased with herself, thinking she had pulled off some brilliant scheme.

Too bad for her, every single move she made was caught on a hidden camera.
As time passed, her condition only got worse. Meanwhile, I was out every day, having the time of my life, eating, drinking, and partying with my coworkers.
One day, while checking the surveillance feed, I saw Wyatt show up at our dorm, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers.
Hazel excitedly opened the door, only for Wyatt’s face to twist in horror. The moment he saw her, he turned on his heel and walked away.
“Wyatt! What’s the meaning of this?”
Wyatt flung his hand in disgust and snapped, “Have you ever looked at yourself? You look like a freaking fox. It’s disgusting.”

Hazel broke down, her voice shaking. “How can you say that? Everything I did was for you!”

Wyatt had completely lost his patience. He backed away like she was the plague.
“Oh, give me a break. You did this to yourself because you were jealous of Charlotte. She’s pretty, rich, and has a life you’ll never have. You tried to steal her fate, and now that it didn’t work, you’re blaming me?”
“I gave you my heart, and this is how you treat me?”
Hazel lunged toward him, but Wyatt didn’t even give her a chance to explain. He bolted.
That night, as I was walking back to the dorm, someone suddenly stepped out from the shadows and called my name.
“Charlotte! You’re finally back.
“Why have you been ignoring me these past few days? Did I do something wrong? Just tell me, and I’ll fix it.”
Wyatt’s eyes were filled with sincerity, and the roses in his hands stood out under the dim streetlights.
I looked at him with pure disgust, not even worth a second glance.
Trash like him, selfish and pathetic, I must’ve been blind to have

fallen for him in my past life. But this time? No way in hell.
