This Villain is Soft - Chapter 135

Episode 135

An indescribable emotion appeared on Juyeol’s face.

It was just a rolling machine. That was all.

I didn’t feel this way even when my bike or cell phone that I had been using for a long time was broken.

“… … tin hamster.”

Joo-yeol absentmindedly reached out to the fragments of Ttyong-i’s sword.

There were various machine parts floating around that were hard to believe were originally toasters.

The small fragments that I could hold in my hand were still hot, as if the residual heat from the explosion had not yet dissipated.

Ju-yeol’s expression distorted as he held the wreckage tightly in his hand.

The annoying and noisy words of Tiyong brushed past my ears.

The thin, excited voice of an old gentleman that strangely suited the hamster.

Those little things rolling around on my feet and jumping out to protect me at any moment.

Tiyong reminded me of Haon, so much so that I thought he had created something just like me.

Joo-yeol said in a trembling voice.

“Hey. Your mechanic isn’t here either.”

Even if Haon was there, I thought it might not be possible to fix the state of destruction, but my mouth moved on its own.

“I don’t know how to fix this.”

You won’t be able to hear me anymore.

The remains of the belt slipped out of Joo-yeol’s weak grip.

Now I had nothing left. I was completely alone.

Just like when I was wandering the streets of the old town at night.

‘… … I can’t go back.’

Joo-yeol gritted his teeth and tried to suppress his emotions. He felt as if the overwhelming sense of loneliness and longing was consuming him.

I tried to narrow my eyebrows and tense my jaw, but the sense of loss gradually gnawed at my heart.

Only then did he realize something and let out a hollow laugh.

‘So this is how Haon felt. He must have been really lonely and scared. And he even had nightmares… … .’

It wasn’t for nothing that he kept coming to me, the person who was acting cold towards him.

They desperately tried to survive in an unfamiliar universe, saying crazy things like “let’s live together” and “I missed you.”

‘It was really trash.’

At that moment, Joo-yeol was wiping his face, thinking that he wanted to beat up his past self.

Paaaaat─.

Blue mana flowed out from a fragment of Ttiyong’s sword.

Mana, which resembled Haon’s bluebird, spread through the broken parts of the belt.

Juyeol was lost in the sight of the blue Milky Way spreading out before him.

For a moment, the Milky Way turned around the corner like a flock of birds and curled into the shape of a cylinder.

The parts came together with a creaking sound, and soon a long tunnel was created.

“… … !”

Joo-yeol doesn’t know what the tunnel is or how this happened.

But what was certain was that some unknown force within me was pulling me into the tunnel.

Juyeol swam through the void realm and grabbed the tunnel entrance.

“Tiyong.”

He said this while sweeping the tunnel made of parts of the belt with his hand.

“You were the best sidekick.”

Then, without hesitation, I stepped into the tunnel.

Gravity, which had not existed before, returned and rested steadily on my entire body.

Joo-yeol tapped the floor with his foot a few times and looked into the tunnel.

It was much longer and deeper than it looked from the outside.

Numerous screens were spread out on the walls of the tunnel, which were illuminated with a bluish light.

After a while, Joo-yeol’s face appeared on the screen. It was me, looking completely different.

“If you’re going to show me that you’re going to die this time─”

As soon as the images on the screen started playing, Haon next to him also appeared.

Joo-yeol’s expression immediately relaxed.

“… … Well, this is okay.”

Juyeol took one step at a time, and then he kicked off the ground and started running.

I don’t know where the end of this tunnel is, but my heart pointed this way.

Meanwhile, the images on the screen continued to flow, and Juyeol noticed the eyes of the other space stars looking at Eunhaon.

All the cosmic heats of the universe were in love with the Milky Way.

‘Of course. How could I not like you?’

My heart started pounding as I faced the obvious truth.

As Juyeol passed through the tunnel, he saw numerous spaceships.

Woo Joo-yeol kissing Eun Ha-on under an umbrella on a rainy day.

Woo Joo-yeol whispers something to Eun Ha-on, whose face is red.

And Woo Joo-yeol, kneeling before Eun Ha-on and crying.

Joo-yeol laughed at that sight.

‘Yeah. Fuck you, you little shit. Whatever it is, it’s definitely your fault.’

As they ran, there was also Woo Joo-yeol who coldly rejected Eun Ha-on’s confession and turned around.

‘That idiot. You’re a piece of shit, man. Get ready to act like a dog from now on.’

Juyeol spoke to all the cosmic heats of the universe.

“You guys try to do whatever you want. Eunha doesn’t like it and is exhausted.”

A light that seemed to be an exit could be seen vaguely ahead of him. He sped up, his breath coming out of his throat.

This strange certainty and helpless pull that you’re headed in the right direction.

It was as if I had finally admitted my feelings for Haon that day.

It seemed as if a voice was calling out, “Juyeol-ah,” from somewhere.

Juyeol jumped into the blue-green curtain mixed with gold at the end of the tunnel.

With that, the tunnel collapsed into a mess of machine parts.

* * *

“No. Please hold on!”

Haon sobbed as he touched the panel of the dimensional gate.

I took all the information about the Void Realm Dimensional Gate from the data in Bae An Jae and rebuilt the Dimensional Gate.

However, the dimensional gate that I had made as small and light as possible in order to leave on my own was gradually unable to withstand the dark energy of the core.

The same was true of the research building.

A series of creaking sounds were heard from the ceiling and walls. Even though the building was made solid with mana, the dimensional gate absorbed even that.

Wow!

The pressure of the energy rushing in from the dimensional gate caused the blinds to warp and the tempered glass windows to burst.

“Ugh, please… … !”

Haon tried to find the missed signal by blowing mana into the core of the dimensional gate.

A few hours ago, a faint but clear distress signal was detected.

It was a brief moment that made one wonder if he had been mistaken, but Haon did not give up hope.

When I tapped the dimensional gate panel and my cell phone in succession, the dimensional gate’s energy became more powerful.

Boom!

The ceiling was torn off, revealing the night sky. The penthouse was nowhere to be seen, having long since been blown away.

The documents and tools that filled the lab were scattered everywhere, and Haon’s hair was blowing wildly.

‘It’s okay. As long as the dimensional gate is intact, that’s fine. This isn’t a bad sign.’

Haon held his cell phone tightly so as not to let go and searched for coordinates where Juyeol might be.

‘Juyeol-ah. Come back. Please.’

At that moment, something was felt beyond the dimensional gate.

“… … !”

Haon had a feeling that the dimensional gate was connected to somewhere. He couldn’t miss this opportunity.

“Blue! Increase the energy output of the dimensional gate to maximum!”

[The structure where the dimensional gate is installed may collapse. Should you proceed anyway?]

“No problem. Put it up now.”

[Understood! Increase energy output to maximum!]

After Blue finished speaking and poured mana into the core, Haon’s body floated up.

Everything in the lab floated as if it were a space in space where gravity did not exist.

The floor of the laboratory around the dimensional gate also began to crack with a cracking sound.

However, Haon’s earnest gaze was fixed only on the dimensional gate.

Something was approaching. It was a being that was quickly closing in on who or what it was.

Haon muttered, “Please, please,” while holding his chest, which was pounding with nervousness and tension as if it would burst.

Soon, the energy from the dimensional gate exploded and the laboratory completely collapsed.

At that moment, when the night view of Kwon Young-shi was spread out in all directions, a large figure appeared through the golden curtain.

Haon burst into tears and spread his arms wide.

“Juyeol-ah!”

Juyeol was startled when he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet disappear and he felt like he was floating, then he raised his head at Haon’s voice.

Haon, who came floating towards him, hugged his waist tightly.

“Joo-yeol-ah. Joo-yeol-ah… … .”

Juyeol’s eyes turned red as he looked around at Haon’s wet voice and the chaos in his surroundings.

“Galaxy On.”

Joo-yeol hugged Ha-on’s back tightly as he sobbed.

I felt Ha-won in my arms. It wasn’t a dream or an illusion. It was really coming back.

Scratch, scratch, scratch!

Eventually, the dimensional gate that had been floating in the sky with the two people could no longer hold out and shattered into pieces.

As the gust of swirling energy died down, the two bodies slowly fell downwards.

Joo-yeol whispered to Ha-on’s bedside.

“I missed you.”

“Me too. I missed you too.”

Haon looked up at him and shed tears.

“Juyeol-ah.”

The tears did not fall down, but remained in the air, drop by drop.

“I would recognize you even if there were 100 cosmic fevers. I wouldn’t get you confused.”

Haon’s transparent eyes were filled with passion.

“I want to be with you. Joo-yeol, I like you.”

The confession, like a pure white bookmark, was deeply embedded in Juyeol’s heart.

His wide-open eyes slowly squinted.

“… … I should have said it properly a long time ago.”

He caressed Ha-on’s cheek and wiped away his tears.

“Galaxy On. I can’t help but think of you so much that I don’t know what to do.”

And speaking affectionately, he bowed his head to Haon’s face.

“i like you.”

The moment their lips overlapped, their feet settled on the ground and their floating clothes and hair sank.

A bright, round moon rose above the ruined laboratory.
