Stupidly cute with a strong hint of BL

There isn't much of a story: the villain of a writer's story climbs out of his computer and demands a better ending for himself because the writer repeatedly has him die in really stupid ways.

What follows is some silly, cute interactions between them. Of course, the villain isn't much of a villain despite some of the pranks he plays. The two get closer over time, and there's a strong hint of BL even though the writer is supposedly in love with a woman. The villain's feelings are especially obvious as he does a lot of things for the writer quietly. One example is in Episode 11 when the three of them are out, and the villain looks on wistfully as he sees the writer and the woman laughing together. The writer's feelings for the villain also become stronger over time, exceeding what he feels for the woman. The woman herself seems to notice this though there's no elaboration, just some clever use of camerawork and filming conventions to suggest that the two men are the real couple.
