I Became a Villain’s Hero - I Became a Villain’s Hero chapter 101

101 – Liem’s paradise (1)

When I opened my eyes, an unbearable sense of emptiness came to me.

The smile drawn on his lips gradually disappears.

everything was a dream

A trip with Min Bom and a meal with Song Soo Yeon.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to laugh because of my dream… but it’s even more difficult with the completely opposite reality.

The dream that allowed me to take a breather now feels like it has completely stopped me.

Even if it is difficult, you should keep running.

I shouldn’t have had this happy dream.

I lay with my arms raised to my face for a long time, I made up my mind roughly and went out.

I can’t stand still

I need to find Liem and Trino. In particular, he had to move more quickly to catch Liem, who had the ability to teleport.

As I stepped outside, the smell of food greeted me again.

Just like today, Han Yu-jung was cooking.

Sensing my presence, she turns to me.

I must have cried a lot, but my eyes are still red. A little bloodshot eyes.

“…”

Unlike yesterday, he didn’t approach me aggressively.

Is it because we talked openly to each other?

She hesitated, then took a deep breath.

Then, in a trembling voice, he asked naturally.

“…Gyeom-ah, are you hungry? I cooked it. Come and sit down.”

Even my steps to go out stand firm at her words.

He grabbed me like a hook on a horse and didn’t let go.

Even if you try not to think about it, you keep putting yourself in her shoes.

She is the one who thinks of me as a benefactor.

Coincidentally, my actions saved her.

Even though the direction may not have been the one I wanted, I know my heart.

Cooking will be the same. I keep thinking about that heart that continues to cook even though I keep getting rejected.

Just as I made a firm promise to Solas while returning, maybe she made a firm promise with me as well.

“…”

I am not hungry, and I do not want to eat.

However, if I left as it was, it seemed that an unpleasant aftertaste would remain.

I think it would be better to pretend to eat and leave.

I slowly went to the table and sat down at the desk.

Han Yu-jung’s expression brightens as never before.

And with a quick movement, they began setting the table in front of me.

Azitra also seemed to have a lot of food stocked up.

It’s a place where you have to hide and endure for days.

Freshly cooked rice, soybean paste soup, beef and kimchi, tuna and vegetables are served.

After waiting a little longer, she even made fried eggs and delivered them.

“…Mmm…eat it, Gyeom-ah.”

I raised the spoon without a word. The moment I was about to scoop up the rice and put it in my mouth, I hesitated for a moment.

Next to me, Han Yu-jeong stood still, stiff and stiff, like a servant.

I tried to ignore her and move the spoon, but I just didn’t feel like it.

I said.

“…sit down. Because it’s uncomfortable.”

“…uh? Ah… yes, no. huh…”

She sits across from me.

As she sits down, I wonder how long it has been since I sat at the table.

It’s only when someone sits across from me that I realize I’m eating.

In the past, Song Soo-yeon was always sitting across from me.

…How does she manage to eat?

“…..”

I erase useless thoughts.

Then he scooped up the rice and started putting it in his mouth.

As uncomfortable as the seat was, I quickly chewed my food. It wasn’t tasteless.

Even in this situation, I think it’s pretty delicious.

“…”

As I chewed, I kept eyeing Han Yu-jung, who was sitting across from me.

Even though Han Yoo-jung looked at me with concentration, she avoided her gaze whenever our eyes met.

“…colloc.”

A short cough came out of that uncomfortable look.

Han Yu-jeong jumped up in surprise as if food had gotten stuck in my throat.

“I’ll bring you some water…!”

“…it’s okay, please sit down.”

However, despite my words, Han Yoo-jung hurriedly brought water.

Restless again, he stands next to me.

I finally sighed and said.

“…do you not eat?”

I think it would be more comfortable that way. Then at least you won’t be looking at me like you are now.

Han Yoo-jung waved her hand.

“Ah…I…I’m fine.”

“If you’re not going to eat, go somewhere. It’s just uncomfortable because you’re doing it next to me.”

When I complained a little coldly, Han Yu-jeong fidgeted and blinked before changing her words.

“…Gee, now that I think about it, I think I’m a little hungry…”

Then, with a stiff movement, I put my food in a bowl.

He carefully sits down in front of me again and begins to nibble on his food.

Then, for a moment, she said.

“……Gyeom-ah, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, so let’s eat-“

“-No… not that. all of it….”

“……..”

My movements stiffened. The hand that moved the spoon and the jaw that chewed food.

“…I really didn’t know…If I had known, I wouldn’t have…”

I move again pretending to be natural. Then he said sharply.

“…Noisy. don’t apologize Because I have no intention of accepting it.”

“I’m not asking for forgiveness… I’m just… really sorry…”

Moisture rose again in her voice.

I was about to scream again, but replaced all of that with a sigh.

“…………ha….”

I don’t have the energy to fight anymore. I am so exhausted that I hate even small fights like this.

We just repeat the same thing on the hamster wheel anyway.

She’ll keep apologizing, and I’ll keep getting angry.

It seemed more comfortable to just pass it on.

I threw in the leftover rice and stood up.

The desire to go out was completely gone. I feel like taking a little break today.

Liem and Trino are also hidden anyway, so it’s hard to find.

Time itself remains because it holds Liquid.

let’s rest a little

“…Gyeom-ah…”

As I stood up, Han Yu-jeong called me with a sad voice.

It was very difficult to hear the voice of a person whose everything that started with a good heart was ruined.

Wanting to put an end to the situation, I hurried around.

“…Okay, stop crying.”

Then he headed into the room.

****

I lay on the sofa for hours with my eyes closed.

I wanted to fall asleep and forget everything for a moment, but of course I couldn’t sleep.

Some of them weren’t tired, and some of them were too busy in their heads to fall asleep.

how many hours have passed

A subtle knock sounded.

-…..smart.

“…”

I opened my eyes and looked towards the door.

If you don’t answer, the door opens.

“…ah.”

She is startled when she sees me awake.

I almost missed the tray in my hand.

Steaming coffee and snacks were heard.

She hastened to make excuses.

“Ah…if he doesn’t sleep, I’m going to ask him to drink coffee…if he sleeps again…I thought I’d cover him with a blanket…”

“…….”

“…..I’m sorry…”

She carefully started closing the door.

I said with a sigh.

“…If you come in, leave it.”

At those words, Han Yu-jung was delighted and entered with a quick step.

He carefully set the tray down next to me and sat down nearby.

“…?”

“…?”

As I looked at her curiously, she tilted her head as well.

“…Aren’t you leaving?”

When I asked, Han Yu-jung got up from her seat with her face flushed red.

“ah….! that…! sorry….!”

Being so ashamed of it, I just turned around.

“…it’s okay. Just sit.”

Nothing much will change anyway.

Whether she was saved by me or what she thought of me or what she did, her end was fixed.

“…don’t think you’ll see me like this. You will still hand it over to the Association.”

At that point, Han Yu-jeong nodded.

“huh. I know.”

firm voice. It seemed that the promise had already been made.

“……”

I sat up on the sofa.

She puts the coffee she has made into her mouth.

Silence flows.

The only sound was the ticking of the second hand on the clock in the room.

What broke the silence was Han Yu-jeong’s words.

“…..that…”

She just said one word and looked at me again.

He seemed to be asking permission to speak.

“…”

When I didn’t say anything, she continued.

“……The… from now on… what will I do…?”

“…”

“……If the goal is to capture the Alliance, I will help.”

My eyes turned to her.

“Are you going to betray your comrades?”

“Even, he wasn’t a colleague. In the first place, it was our iron rule not to get close to each other in private… We just got together for mutual benefit.”

“…”

“…Luna is…”

She looked me in the eye and said.

“……Of course Luna has no intention of catching her, right…? You are cherishing it.”

“…”

“Okay, I asked something. Of course. I will only help you find T.Trino or Liem.”

I looked ahead again.

Put the coffee in your mouth again.

Beside him, Han Yu-jeong muttered quietly.

“…but…a little…envy.”

I noticed her again, but Han Yoo-jung wasn’t looking at me anymore.

He looked down and bit his fingernails.

“…You think of Luna a lot…”

Instantly, she realizes what she said and looks up at me in amazement.

Then, after compromising the situation with a forced smile, he got up from his seat.

“…I…I’ll go. If you need anything, tell me…?”

I watched her back as she left.

It was only now that I realized for the first time that anger and bitterness can be felt at the same time.

****

Song Soo-yeon realized in an instant.

“….ah.”

As I belatedly found out that Dice and Jeong-gyeom were the same person, I finally realized an important fact.

I heard that Stella was taken by Dyce.

In other words, the two of them had no choice but to be in the same place.

Song Soo-yeon hurriedly looked for Stella’s number.

“……..”

Then, calming his trembling heart, he pressed the call button.

Maybe Stella won’t answer the phone.

If it’s locked somewhere, there’s no way that Jeong-gyeom didn’t take his cell phone.

…And that side was rather good for Song Soo-yeon.

If Stella doesn’t receive it, Jeong-gyeom will have no choice but to receive it.

Beep sounds for a long time.

It was lucky that the phone wasn’t turned off… but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t connect anyway.

– Tick.

And at that moment, the phone is connected.

Song Soo-yeon’s heart thumped and sank.

She pursed her lips, stammering.

“……Ah, mister…?”

“…………”

“…Are you a mister?”

“It is me.”

Stella’s slightly dark voice came over.

Song Soo-yeon’s impression is crumpled.

Why is she answering the phone?

It’s Stella’s phone, but wasn’t it taken by Jeong-gyeom?

“…Stella, where are you?”

Song Soo-yeon asked. Maybe he wasn’t with Jeong-gyeom.

Finding information was a priority.

After a long silence, Stella answered.

“…I’m with Gyeom.”

“…………………yes?”

cum. A familiar name somewhere.

And at Stella’s words, Song Soo-yeon’s heart sank deeper.
