I Became a Villain’s Hero - I Became a Villain’s Hero chapter 108

108 – True Hero (3)

After a few days when it was hard to come to my senses, Han Yu-jeong was holding a small box in her hand.

Yura’s smile and laughter. pranks and compliments. All love and memories are burned and placed in this small box.

My little brother who has become so light.

I still couldn’t believe it, so I couldn’t even shed tears.

I couldn’t believe that it was my brother in this box.

It looks like she will appear out of nowhere, calling her ‘sister’ in a friendly way any time soon.

I can’t believe she’s dead. I didn’t want to believe it.

I never thought I’d leave you alone like this.

In particular, the guilt that his younger brother died instead of him was insanely painful.

A younger brother who pushed himself and was crushed by a huge signboard instead.

The words of how you can become a hero because you are so timid were the last words to Yura.

Yura’s end was more like a hero than anyone else.

And that fact hurt Han Yoo-jung so much.

Every time I wake up, the situation in front of my eyes changes.

Sometimes I found myself standing still inside the house, and other times I found myself sitting in the enshrinement hall.

Another time I woke up in a hospital, and another time I was sitting in a park.

“…It’s a consolation money.”

Another time, I came to my senses at the Hero Association.

“…the settlement is presented below.”

The signboard fell off the building due to a gust of wind caused by the hero ‘Kant’.

Because my younger brother crossed the river under that signboard, the association and this event were created.

A small, not very spacious room.

Only the three members of the association, a lawyer, and Han Yu-jeong were sitting in this small room.

Han Yu-jeong slowly comes to her senses. I looked around the room quietly.

Her lawyer, who was sitting next to her, advised her.

“…Han Yu-jeong, I think it’s better to accept it as it is.”

“……Cant?”

However, Han Yu-jeong asked without even looking at the documents.

“….yes?”

Association staff asked.

Han Yoo-jung now glared directly at the employee and asked again.

“I haven’t even gotten an apology from Kant yet.”

“……”

“…You killed my brother. Aren’t you supposed to come and beg me…? I’m sorry…! You’re right to say you’re wrong…!”

The association staff felt guilty and rolled their eyes.

“…I’m sorry, Mr. Yujeong. Mr. Kent is currently injured, so he is not in a position to come.”

“I haven’t heard of Kent being hurt.”

“…Anyway, Kent-sama can’t come out right now.”

“Then turn off. I won’t do anything until Kent apologizes.”

At that time, the lawyer next to her dragged Han Yoo-jung’s arm.

Then he explained with an equally painful expression.

“…Han Yu-jeong, agreeing to it is good for you too.”

“My brother died, and this money-”

“-There is nothing good about going to trial.”

“……yes…?”

“…Even if the crime of manslaughter is applied… there will be nothing but a fine. Even that would be cheap for a hero.”

“I can put you in jail-”

“-I hate to hear it… but it was a mistake. Prison is hard. Also, due to the nature of the job as a hero, these things happen intermittently… I have never been sent to prison for this.”

“……..”

“……..”

Han Yoo-jung’s voice began to tremble at the unbelievable fact.

“…..what is that…”

However, the lawyer kept telling the cold reality with a sad expression.

“…You can think of it as similar to how doctors don’t go to jail even if they make a mistake. If you go to trial, the time will be longer, and the reward will be far less than this. I know how unfair and regrettable it is, but… ending it here is the way for Yoo-jung.”

.

.

.

When he came to his senses again, Han Yu-jeong had finished signing the autograph and came out.

Along with the 200 million won deposited for the price of his brother’s life.

It was as if my heart had hardened, and I was dazed.

I didn’t feel any emotion whatsoever.

I was just living with the flow.

Han Yu-jeong then used the money to pay for her younger sister’s funeral, and placed her ashes in a better place.

Even after doing that, I had a lot of money left over… but of course I couldn’t get my hands on it.

I just buried it in a deep closet and tried to forget it.

Han Yoo-jung could never face those days again.

refused to remember.

After a few days, I went back to my daily life and worked and lived as if nothing had happened.

Even when the money that should have originally been for Yura’s college tuition came in, she continued her life without thinking.

Then very occasionally.

When he realized that there was no younger brother to meet him, he started rationalizing alone to suppress the huge sadness that came like a wave.

It wasn’t difficult.

Even if you just look at the articles, there are many articles praising heroes.

Accepting their heart-warming good deed, I tried to realize that Yura’s accident was a truly unfortunate event.

It was difficult, but I had to do it anyway.

Even doctors can’t save everyone.

Kent also just wanted to catch the villain. It was just a mistake. He, too, would be tormented by guilt.

Even Yura, who hoped to become a hero, would probably tell him to understand.

But time goes by. As the fact that Yura isn’t really around starts to seep in.

rationalization becomes more difficult. Tears that had not flowed began to flow.

Night after night, she wept.

Did you know that the younger brother you wanted to protect instead of your parents would leave your side in vain?

“…Why did you ask for it…”

She gritted her teeth and wept.

“…You should have lived…Why did you save me…”

I couldn’t shake off the guilt until the end.

*****

Five years pass.

Han Yu-jeong turned 25 years old.

Now that Yura was buried deep in his heart, he didn’t feel any pain anymore.

I got used to living alone.

Sometimes… no, every day I missed my brother, but now I was able to hide those feelings too.

It was after Kent forgave him.

Since then, he has performed brilliantly and became a hero who saved countless people.

At that time, as Han Yu-jeong wanted, if Kant had really gone to prison, he would not have been able to save so many people.

So, Han Yu-jeong decided to let go of Cantil.

It was just really unfortunate, I tried to believe that and live on.

But one day, word went around that Kent was appearing on a talk show.

And it is said that they are looking for an audience to participate in the talk show.

And at that moment, Han Yoo-jung felt a fire that she did not even know burn in her heart.

I felt the rage that I thought I had killed someday ignite in a gigantic size.

I thought it was only forgiving, but maybe it wasn’t?

When she came to her senses, she had obtained the right to attend.

Was it because the filming day was a weekday, or was Kent’s popularity just that much? They said there were more seats left than expected.

The broadcast day that came like that.

Han Yu-jeong calmed her beating heart as she stared at the stage where Kant would come up.

I don’t know why I’m shaking so much I don’t know why I feel the resentment of Han Yu-ra’s death again.

Feelings that I thought I had forgotten, and now that I thought I had passed them all, come back.

As I was shaking like that, a man sitting next to me started talking to me.

“…are you okay?”

“…”

ordinary impression. tall and muscular body. He was a man who looked a year or two younger than himself.

After looking at him once, Han Yoo-jung turned off his nerves.

I couldn’t afford to pay attention to him.

“are you okay.”

And then I looked at the stage.

Soon the MC came up on the stage and the recording started.

.

.

For a while, MC and Kant exchanged stories.

Kent was the same as he was that day. blue suit. A mask that covers the nose and mouth. up to several accessories.

Before I knew it, Han Yu-jung’s hands were shaking.

The man who killed my brother was in front of me.

“…Haam.”

But the man sitting next to me kept yawning. Perhaps because he is angry, his every action is annoying.

Looking back now… he didn’t look too good either.

Eyes that look bored, and a face that doesn’t seem to have any thoughts.

I had a strong feeling that I had come here because I had plenty of time.

MC says. Han Yoo-jung focused on the stage again.

“Anyway, Mr. Kent. Now let’s take some questions from the audience. So if you want to ask a question, raise your hand.”

Han Yu-jeong hurriedly raised her hand. Now that I’ve come this far, I have something I want to hear from Kent.

But the opportunity passes. Another woman in the distance asked.

“Kent, what is your ideal type?”

Laughter breaks out. A friendly atmosphere ensued. Only Han Yoo-jung couldn’t smile.

Kent answers.

“I want to meet a good woman with a good heart.”

next question. This time, it wasn’t Han Yoo-jung.

“Kent-sama, what do you think is important as a hero?”

“It’s about thinking about the citizens.”

As he continues to answer, the gap between the audience and Han Yoo-jung grows.

She was the only one who couldn’t smile.

Anger continues to build. My breathing was so rapid that my head was dizzy.

At that time, the MC pointed out Han Yoo-jung.

“…”

A microphone is soon handed over. Han Yoo-jung held the microphone and looked at the stage.

“…”

A quiet silence descends. People’s laughter is also quiet.

It was the moment I wanted, but it felt like my heart would burst when it came true.

This is how I met Kent, whom I hadn’t met even after Yura’s death, on a talk show.

Kent stared at Han Yu-jung in silence.

Han Yu-jeong asks at the end.

“…Five years ago, a signboard fell on the ability you used, and my younger brother was crushed to death. Could you explain the situation at that time?”

Cold water is splashed on the friendly atmosphere.

Both MC and Kent’s face darkened.

“…hmm.”

Only the man next to him let out a quiet sentiment.

The broadcasters start to move wildly.

However, Han Yu-jeong intended to stop here until she heard the answer.

There was only one thing she wanted.

I want to hear the apology I didn’t hear back then.

I can understand. Even heroes can make mistakes. It’s to protect people, so I want to understand.

But even so, an apology is necessary.

I wanted a deep apology for what happened then.

It was only words, but Han Yu-jeong desperately wanted the apology.

Kent opened his mouth slowly.

“…I regret that accident. Because he was there at a bad time and place. If only that villain had been by my side a little bit. If the sign had been a little stronger, the accident wouldn’t have happened. I don’t think this should happen again in the future.”

“……”

However, Han Yoo-jung forgot what to say to Kant’s answer.

He answered as if he hadn’t done anything wrong. It was Yura’s fault who was standing there. An apology that never comes out.

Han Yu-jeong gritted her teeth and spoke again.

“I don’t want to hear that.”

“…”

“You didn’t apologize to me. Apologize. I still haven’t heard a word… that I’m sorry.”

Only then did Han Yoo-jung realize.

Why did you rationalize it in the meantime? Why have you been trying to forgive Kent?

Because there was no other way.

It was the only thing she could do.

Cantra did not have the power to avenge the hero, nor did he have the power to attract reporters to escalate the case.

Kant wasn’t the only enemy of hers. As long as the Hero Association stood behind Kant, Han Yu-jeong was helpless.

It was the same even now.

There is nothing you can do. So, you want an apology.

Even small victories have to be won. That way it would be less embarrassing. I wanted to hear from Kent that he was wrong.

Kent replied slowly.

“…if it’s my fault for trying to catch the villain, I apologize.”

At that answer, Han Yu-jung’s heart felt cold again.

“……”

How could you say such a thing?

Avoid apologies cleverly. Is an apology really that hard?

Was Yura’s life not worth his pride?

I was so sad that a single tear flowed down my face.

I have no face to see my brother.

When we meet again in the distant future, how can we see her?

I couldn’t do anything for my brother.

Han Yu-jeong ate her heart, blaming herself for being helpless.

Even if I die, I will kill Kant.

If you stab them with a blade, they will die the same way.

I don’t know how to do it, but I have to kill him, but this heart-

“-You trash bastard.”

Then someone speaks next to me.

The yawning man sitting next to him got up.

“How is that an apology?”

MC asked the man.

“…Are you my boyfriend?”

But the man ignored the question and continued talking.

“Hero bastards… this is annoying. Would he have said the same if he had no power? It’s no different from a group of thugs who only believe in the power they have.”

One by one, the audience begins to hum.

Kent also stood up and said.

“…I’ll put up with blasphemy against the hero this time.”

“What if you don’t? Are you thinking of solving it by force? It’s not like I said anything wrong. Get on your knees and apologize.”

The man did not back down.

Even in front of a hero, he shows a fearless figure.

Kant frowned slightly. he warns

“…Please stop. Is it okay to be suspected of being a villain?”

A little threat is also included in the tone.

The man burst into laughter.

As he raises one hand, something climbs into his hand along with a whirlwind.

Kent immediately jumped up from his seat.

Seeing the two of them preparing for battle, people started to fall into confusion.

Some run away, some scream.

Han Yu-jeong looked at the man who stood up to Kant.

Not just cant, but men against association.

“If you say something bitter to a hero, is it a villain?”

He said.

“…then what a villain.”

And drop something in your hand.

It was a dice.

The scale is 5.

Villain Dyce appeared like that.

****

Han Yu-jeong was stuck in the room and looked at numerous articles.

Dice’s debut was truly shocking.

Not only Kant, but also many heroes who came to support him were defeated by Dice.

nobody stopped him

I couldn’t even imagine that the man who was yawning next to me and asking me if I was okay would be so terrifying.

8 hero minor injuries. 1 seriously injured.

The slanderer, of course, was Kent.

It is said that the nerves in his left leg were severed and his right ankle was cut off. Blindness in the left eye, comminuted fracture in the right arm.

He said twice that he would never be able to return as a hero.

In those articles, a ray of wind flowed in Han Yu-jeong’s heart. It seemed that things that had been blocked had been pierced.

And I felt again that my thoughts were right.

I don’t have the power, I just rationalized myself.

Seeing Kent suffer so cruelly, I couldn’t be more relieved.

Dyce didn’t even cover his face.

He didn’t hide behind a mask like other villains.

Han Yoo-jung replayed the conversation between him and the new hero ‘Solas’, which was filmed on camera, over and over again.

Solas asks.

“Why did you do this?”

Dyce was silent for a moment.

“….just.”

He even had a small smile.

But Han Yoo-jung knew.

Of course, he must have had his own circumstances, but the conversation between himself and Kent was the catalyst.

Han Yoo-jung remembered everything about Dice for hours.
