After transmigrating into a romantic comedy novel, he receives a special reward.

A status window appears before his eyes.

[Remaining Lifespan: 365 Days]

That reward turns out to be a death sentence.

Now trapped inside the body of a background university student doomed to die within a year, he discovers a strange condition tied to his survival:

His lifespan increases whenever the story’s main characters eat the food he makes.

So while trying to avoid changing the original plot, he begins quietly cooking for the protagonist and heroines behind the scenes.

A late-night homemade meal.
A lunchbox prepared before class.
A warm bowl of soup after a difficult day.

Little by little, the people who were never supposed to notice him begin drawing closer.

But the more bonds he forms, the more dangerous his situation becomes.

Because in a romantic comedy where he was only meant to be an extra,

he’s becoming impossible to ignore.

And with every passing day, the countdown continues.
