I Became a Villain’s Hero - Chapter 121



121 – Unchanging Hero (2)

Han Yoo-jung wears a mask for the first time in a while.

She stopped at a remote harbor and looked out over the dark sea.

A cool, fishy-smelling sea breeze passed through her hair.

It was still too much for her, but she began to organize her mind one by one.

It’s a farewell.

Jeong-gyeom, and… younger sister Yura.

I suddenly had a thought.

What would younger sister Yura say when she sees herself as a villain?

He has no face looking at his younger brother who hoped to become a hero.

It’s still a long way from meeting again… but I was already ashamed.

But I also wanted Yuu to know.

There was no other way for her either. Either way you’d regret it.

He said he couldn’t like the heroes who took Yura’s life.

“…You have to take good care of your little brother, Gyeom-ah.”

She muttered to herself towards the sea.

At that moment, a low-pitched moan echoed from behind.

Trino happened.

I thought it was the effect of the fresh sea breeze.

“….what.”

When Trino opened his eyes, he found the handcuffs for power users on his wrists.

-Clap, clap

Confused, he shook the handcuffs and gave them strength, but of course the handcuffs didn’t budge.

His eyes wander, and he finds Han Yu-jeong.

“…S…Stella?”

“…”

“Were you safe? Where have you been-“

Han Yoo-jung calmly looked at the trino.

“-I’m not all right, Trino.”

“……? I don’t know what you mean, but release these handcuffs first. I remember fighting against Luna, but I don’t know why I’m doing this.”

“…I won’t even release the handcuffs.”

“……what?”

Han Yoo-jung had no feelings for Trino. I’ve never been personally involved in the first place.

But now, for some reason, I felt uncomfortable.

It’s not easy, no matter how wicked, to ignore an old colleague with a desperate expression on his face.

Han Yu-jeong regarded this as her own karma and accepted the situation sweetly.

“Solas is coming.”

Han Yujeong said.

No further explanation was added.

Trino idly digested Han Yoo-jung’s words and tried to stand up from his seat.

But the handcuffs on his ankles prevent him from doing that.

Trino wrestled with the handcuffs again and looked up at Han Yu-jeong.

“stellar…! Why are you doing this! If we do this, we will both die!”

“i know.”

“….what?”

“…For him, it has to be like this.”

“…What are you talking about…!”

Trino, blinking anxiously, crawled towards Han Yoo-jung. he begged fervently

“Stella…I don’t want it to end like this. It was our colleague…! Let me go just once…!”

Han Yu-jeong burst out laughing. She said.

“Have you forgotten our first rule?”

“….rule?”

“We didn’t want to get to know each other. Now let me tell you… I never considered you a colleague.”

“……Stel-”

“-Everything was for him, from the beginning.”

Then, a momentary flash from behind.

For an instant, there was an illusion that it was daytime.

Han Yu-jeong calmly looked back.

It was the same with the trino crawling on the floor.

“…”

“…”

Solas gazed down at Han Yu-jung with her eyes shining in the air.

As expected, Solas was a very feared hero when he was an enemy.

Showing off her eyes and hiding her smile from the citizens, there was no way she couldn’t look scared.

“……Did you contact me?”

Solas asks Han Yu-jeong.

Han Yoo-jung couldn’t say anything because of the momentary fear that rose up.

He just nodded slowly.

she knew

I have to overcome this fear, but I know that Jeong-gyeom will be safe.

In the future, he would say something that Solas would dislike, but he shouldn’t be scared already.

Solas’ glowing pupil scans the surroundings. Even that appearance gave an unknown pressure.

Solas looked around for a while before asking.

“…Where’s the dice?”

“…”

Dice.

To that name, Trino was also hardened.

He also grasps the situation and carefully examines his surroundings.

Han Yu-jeong replied.

“Let’s have a conversation first.”

“Bring the dice. Then let’s talk.”

“no? Let’s have a conversation first. Then I’ll give you what you want.”

Han Yoo-jung was trying hard not to be pushed back.

It was like that in ‘Cant’, which took the life of his younger brother Yura, but it wasn’t easy to raise his voice.

Even so, she mustered up her courage for Jeong-gyeom. for his happiness.

Solas glared at Han Yu-jung with a hard face for a while, then slowly landed on the ground.

Han Yoo-jung pointed to the trino.

“…Here, Trino. I am the last member of the Villain Alliance you have been looking for.”

“Stel-”

“-Stop it, Trino. It’s over. Please don’t beg for me anymore.”

Han Yoo-jung gave Trino a face for being miserable until the end.

I didn’t want to wrestle with him any more.

Even right now is hard. If I kept saying things like that next to him, it would only make me annoyed.

Solas asked with an unchanging face.

“What about Dice?”

“…”

Han Yoo-jung was able to see Solas’s blind love at first glance.

Even before the return, and now.

Solas was one of the closest people to Jeong-gyeom.

I was envious. Being able to love Jeong-gyeom without guilt like that.

Until today, Solas will feel like hell… but tomorrow I will meet Jeong-gyeom again.

The two will become closer again. There was no doubt.

“I will tell you where Dice is. Before that, the Hero Association, please fulfill your promise.”

“…”

“You decided to erase Luna’s records, right? Delete the records, prove it to me.”

“…Dice’s embroidery comes first.”

“Until now, the Hero Association had been silent. Since we brought the villains, including Trino, we have to show the castle. How do you know if you turn yourself in and leave Luna’s records alone?”

Solas stood still this time as well. I don’t know what the hell she’s thinking.

Even so, Han Yoo-jung did not avoid her gaze or backtrack.

The mask helped a lot to hide the frightened expression.

When Solas doesn’t respond for a long time, Han Yoo-jung mixes a slight provocation.

“…Isn’t the location of the dice necessary?”

“….under.”

Solas then said with a short laugh, pressing the in-ear radio in his ear.

“…yes. Trino and one other. Has confirmed. Please erase Luna’s records…”

Han Yu-jeong secretly lets go. When Jeong-gyeom woke up with this, he wouldn’t have to return to Dice anymore.

“…no. I’ll be sure to catch Dice. Be prepared. yes.”

I waited for Solas’ conversation to end. In the middle, Solas’s hatred towards Dice seemed to be visible.

A few minutes passed, and Solas, who was touching the walkie-talkie, spoke to Han Yu-jeong.

“…deleted. Now die-”

“-wait a minute.”

Han Yu-jung cut off Solas and turned on her cell phone. The official site was opened to check the villain rankings.

Dice is in first place.

In second place is Trino.

Luna, who should have been in third place… had disappeared.

After waiting a little longer, articles for this started pouring in.

That was enough.

After checking, Yujeong Han turned off her phone and looked at Solas.

It was real from now on.

Solas will utter angry words.

Han Yu-jeong exhaled quickly.

“Dice is dead.”

Solas’ stiff expression broke, and her eyes widened.

“…The will was to erase Luna’s records. The other villains gathered their strength and took him down.”

Han Yu-jeong knew all too well that her lies were dishonest.

It is like that from its very existence in the first place. I don’t know how Solas will react to his embroidery.

Also, the fact that Dyce was attacked and killed by other villains, Solas, who had dealt with him, could not believe it.

This is Dice who single-handedly defeated Trino, Liquid, and Stingshot. In the current situation, no villain could defeat him.

But it doesn’t matter if Solas doesn’t believe it.

I knew what Solas’ purpose was in the first place, and I could have relieved him.

“…..Are you kidding me?”

Solas asked with her eyes wide open.

Han Yu-jeong endured the feeling of her blood running cold, and met her eyes.

“no. I mean it. Dyce is dead.”

“Did you show me the body and say something like that…!”

“…I fell into the sea. You won’t find the body.”

-pop!

Solas kicks the floor and momentarily approaches.

Before Han Yu-jeong could react, she was grabbed by the collar.

At close range, we see Solas’ angry expression.

He was afraid that his agitation might be found out.

“Stop talking bullsh*t. bring the dice right now.”

Han Yu-jeong looked down at the trino that was beside her.

-puck!

As Han Yu-jung’s gaze shifted, Solas kicked the face of Trino, who was crawling on the floor.

Traino, who was handcuffed and defenseless, was knocked out by Solas’ blow.

“Where are you looking? Before you make that kind of thing, answer me. Where is Dice?”

However, even this was guided by Han Yu-jeong.

Trino shouldn’t have listened to this conversation.

As if whispering, Han Yu-jeong spoke to Solas.

“…………You’re looking for Jeong-gyeom?”

“……”

Solas’ eyes trembled.

A momentary longing and bitterness filled her eyes. There was also a desperation that seemed like shed tears at any moment.

“…..you…the name…”

“Jeong-gyeom is safe.”

“……”

“Tomorrow, visit his room again. I will come back whole. Your body and mind will be the same as before.”

If it’s the body, it’ll be the same as before… but if it’s the heart, in fact, Han Yoo-jung wasn’t sure.

To be honest, I wanted him to hurt himself a little bit.

It’s selfish, but I wanted you to miss me.

Solas’ momentum gradually dies.

After Jeong-gyeom’s name came out, the hero who boasted of vicious spirit disappeared.

Han Yoo-jung did not miss the opportunity and drove it.

“You have to get down to make money, right? Even if we were to catch Dice, we weren’t sure if Jeong-gyeom would come back. But I’ll tell you for sure. You will be able to see Jung-gyeom again from tomorrow. If what I’m saying is false, then torture me or kill me…you can do whatever you want.”

“…Your brother…is coming back?”

You call me brother

Han Yu-jeong swallowed the words in her mind.

Then he nodded, affirming Solas’ words.

Solas glared at Han Yu-jung for a long time, pondering, then looked away.

Pressing the in-ear microphone, I reported to the Hero Association.

“…I’m going back. We also take the last member of the Trino and Villain Alliance.”

Han Yu-jeong secretly let out a long sigh.

It’s over.

It’s really over now.

If Jeong-gyeom doesn’t think about turning himself in again tomorrow, everything will come to an end.

May his lingering hold on to his ankles.

It would be painful, but I wanted you to compromise with reality.

“…..ah.”

Only then does Han Yu-jeong realize that her hands are shaking.

The thought of going to prison scares me from now on. It feels like the strength is going out of my knees.

The heavy reality of having to live in prison for the rest of my life is finally starting to come true.

afraid of many things

You will live among the violent villains who have already been imprisoned.

You will never be free again.

You will not be able to visit the beautiful places in the world, nor will you be able to find delicious food or the happiness you want.

……… Jeong-gyeom’s face, I’ll never see it again.

What would Jeong-gyeom say if he said he didn’t want to go to jail now?

What should I do if I have no lingering feelings for the world again?

Solas was radioing on the sidelines.

“…Dice will continue to pursue. For once. No, I won’t give up, so you know.”

Then she slowly took the handcuffs out of her pocket.

Solas grips Han Yoo-jung’s wrist.

Disconnecting the radio, Solas spoke to Yujeong Han.

“…what you said…you should hope it’s not a lie.”

“……”

Solas lifted the handcuffs slightly upward.

Han Yu-jeong closed her eyes and whispered inwardly.

‘……Gyeom.’

-Hoo-wook!

A momentary wind blows.

Han Yoo-jung waited for the cold handcuffs to feel on her wrists, but nothing happened.

“…?”

– Took. Degururr…

Han Yu-jeong slowly opened her eyes and saw a small dice.

The scale is 3.

“hahahaha…”

At the same time, a man’s heavy breathing is heard.

When Han Yu-jeong raised her head at the familiar sound, the black fog was dispersing and disappearing.

And in the center, stood Jeong-gyeom wearing a mask.

Before he knew it, he had taken the handcuffs from Solas’ hands.

Solas speaks unfazed.

“…you couldn’t have died.”

Han Yu-jeong muttered in surprise. Hands stop shaking. Selfishly, the fear disappears.

“….how….?”

Jeong-gyeom looked at Han Yoo-jung, then turned to Solas.

“……Let this person go.”

Dyce’s voice modulated by mechanical sounds.

“…Nonsense.”

Solas replied.

A smoldering hatred blooms in her eyes again.

Dyce couldn’t meet those eyes right away. He averted his gaze and frowned.

After suffering with his eyes closed for a long time, he finally opens his eyes.

He said.

“…Spring.”

The power was released from Solas’ grasp. Solas misses Han Yoo-jung’s wrist.

“……………..uh?”

Jeonggyeom continued.

“…let this person go.”
