I Became a Villain’s Hero - Chapter 122



122 – Unchanging Hero (3)

When I came to my senses, I was cooking at my shop.

It didn’t feel strange.

“Suyeon-ah, turn off that light.”

“Yes.”

“Bom, prepare some dishes.”

“Okay, Brother.”

A normal day without anything special.

But this boring day that went by without any problems was more special to me than any other day.

The warmth and fullness I feel in my chest melts me.

There is a smile on his face for no reason, and he hums naturally.

After turning off the boiling stew, Song Soo-yeon comes up behind me.

I stopped cutting her for a moment and warned her.

“Soo Yeon-ah is in danger-“

-Width.

Song Soo-yeon gently hugged me from behind.

“…Soo Yeon-ah?”

She didn’t answer. Instead, I plucked her face out with my side and hummed her cutely.

As if ignoring all my doubts, as if nothing had happened, she pointed at the cutting board with a nod of her head.

“…Keep doing what you’re doing, mister.”

I was embarrassed for a while.

I closed my mouth and smiled at the sudden happiness.

Then he carefully continued cutting.

I hummed along with Song Soo-yeon’s hum.

In the middle, laughter came out.

Song Soo-yeon also maintained her pouty face, but she also couldn’t hide her smile in the end.

Minbom also walked into the kitchen.

“Brother, the dishes are all set.”

“Thank you, Bom.”

Then he stands next to me, watches me closely, then picks up a knife.

“Can I cut this off?”

“No. I’ll do it.”

“You can cut this.”

Minbom said she would help me, and she started cutting the prepared ingredients at the side.

Song Soo-yeon, who was looking at her, gave her a light compliment.

“…You are surprisingly good at cutting.”

“Isn’t it? I make a lot of food at home.”

Smiles bloomed on both of their faces again.

Me too.

I realize that being next to them is my greatest happiness.

-Tak!

And I stopped cutting for an instant.

I already knew.

That this is a dream.

I was just pretending not to know.

The dream was so sweet that I tried to pretend I didn’t notice.

As usual, I would have enjoyed this dream. Drunk with happiness that never comes back, I must have wanted to be trapped in this dream for the rest of my life.

But I remembered the situation before entering the dream.

Everything came to an end as I held on to the trino.

In the meantime, Han Yu-jung asked me to drink… Now I’m even showing my dream like this.

This makes it clear that she has some intentions towards her.

“Mister, what’s wrong?”

Song Soo-yeon hugged me and asked.

“…..”

I couldn’t answer. No matter how much it is a dream, it is very difficult for her to say goodbye to her again.

This will be the last time you see her. She won’t see you any more.

I put down the knife and held Song Soo-yeon’s hand as she embraced me.

“Mister?”

My heart flutters every time I hear that voice.

No matter what Han Yu-jeong’s plans are, I want to remain here.

But I can’t. She couldn’t be caught in an illusion.

I took a breath and turned around.

I faced Song Soo-yeon and Min Bom, who were looking at me strangely.

“…Brother?”

I asked them for things they would never see again.

“…Guys, can you smile?”

Song Soo-yeon and Min-bom awkwardly exchanged glances, then smiled shyly.

It was a dream, but it was a moment that I will remember for the rest of my life.

I nodded and closed my eyes.

Then, I woke up from my dream.

****

From the moment I saw Han Yu-jeong’s letter, a change occurred in my heart.

Because she vaguely wanted to do this, she might have been ignoring Han Yu-jung’s words about when she would hand her over to the Hero Association.

If you think so, it may be that you have finally made up your mind rather than a change of heart.

“…Bom. Let this person go.”

With sympathy and sympathy, I can’t let go of Han Yu-jeong.

Her heart would have been easier if she had been worse.

Like other villains, it would have been nice if he had been faithful to his own greed and selfish.

But since it wasn’t like that…It was hard to leave it alone.

It is very pitiful for her to go to prison like this.

I still can’t believe he acted like this for me.

What kind of mind did you have to put me to sleep and try to solve it alone?

As much as she is for me, shouldn’t I be a little bit for her?

“……Huh?”

But at the same time, I had to face a moment I didn’t want to face.

Solas stares blankly at my mouth.

Leaving her alone for a while, I looked at Han Yoo-jeong.

“……Go.”

“……Ah…No, I…I-“

“- Go. Before you change your mind.”

“………”

I grabbed Han Yoo-jung’s wrist and turned it behind her.

Put yourself between her and Solas.

I said while looking at Han Yu-jung, who was still hesitant.

“…You have to take care of your little brother. I already showed up Your plan failed.”

“…Keep…Gyeom.”

Solas’ eyes were stained with bewilderment.

“……Cum?”

I didn’t look Solas in the eye.

Now, Han Yu-jeong came first.

“…….Han Yu-jeong.”

I spoke seriously.

“…Please go.”

For the first time, she asked her to do her favor too.

“Now, live your life.”

However, Han Yoo-jung did not leave the seat.

Holding my sleeve tightly, he just looked up at me with eyes dripping with regret.

I took her hand away and pushed her on the shoulder.

And then, as if forced, she looked at her.

Please understand my heart.

Did my plea change your mind?

Her expression is colored with pain.

She looked me in the eye, and momentarily burrowed into my arms.

She whispered, starting to shed her tears.

“….I love you…I’m sorry…”

“Go, so.”

Han Yu-jung is in my arms for a long time, then she falls away from me.

As she gestured towards her, Han Yu-jung turned her body slowly and left her seat.

I am left alone with Solas.

She’s looking at me with her eyes, saying she can’t believe me.

The moment has finally come.

I had to face it one day… But at the same time, it was the scariest moment.

“……”

I silently remove the voice modulator from my mouth.

– Took.

After that, grab onto the upper part of the mask.

Peel it off her face slowly.

-Slowly.

A cool sea breeze brushed my face.

Solas collapses due to his legs giving way.

She looked at her slowly and said.

“……Sorry.”

I had nothing else to say.

“…….Brother?”

“…I’m sorry, Bom.”

****

This was the first time I had my legs loosened in front of a villain.

Minbom looks at a sight she can’t believe.

She never thought that she would see Jeong-gyeom, whom she had been searching for so long, in this way.

Could I have predicted it?

I know that Jeong-gyeom, who always served as a shelter with kind words and an understanding heart, was a person with the power to cripple the three strongest villains in the country at the same time.

He was the one who went to volunteer work even with such strength.

I never flinched.

How would you think that such a person would have been Dice?

“…Your brother…Was Dice…?”

However, the reality unfolded before my eyes, and the fact that I had to accept did not change.

At the same time, things that are understood one by one arise.

Why Dyce avoided fighting her when he was so ruthless to her other villains.

The reason why Jeong-gyeom disappeared with his appearance.

The reason why he said Jeong-gyeom is safe.

“……I’m sorry, Bom.”

Jeong-gyeom knelt down on one knee and came closer to the fallen Solas.

The face of Jeong-gyeom, whom I had been drawing so much, was right in front of Min-bom.

Minbom asked helplessly.

“…How is your brother…Dice?”

“……”

As soon as he takes off his mask, the pressure that surrounds him disappears.

Even though he knew that he had overwhelming force as Dice, Minbom’s presence was greater than that of Dice.

I didn’t think that Jeong-gyeom’s appearance in the past was a fake.

He didn’t think it was all acting.

Looking at the fact that he didn’t attack himself, that’s true.

From noble mtl dot com

Just looking at him apologizing now, that’s the case.

He seems to have experienced something shocking, just by looking at his emaciated face.

So she asked with confusion. He wasn’t afraid

“…Why did you do that?”

“…..”

“Brother…Why did you do that…?”

Minbom looked at Jeonggyeom who couldn’t answer, and she slowly reached out her hand.

Her warm fingers touched his cheek.

Jeong-gyeom was startled and shook his body, but Min-bom did not let go of her hand.

She was just trying to understand his heart.

“…..Is it because the store was destroyed by the Villains Alliance…?”

Jeong-gyeom shook his head.

“Then…Because I was greatly hurt by the coalition back then…?”

Jung-gyeom shakes his head again.

I don’t know what the reason was, but I didn’t think it would be light.

Minbom asked again while waiting for Jeonggyeom to make an excuse.

“…Then…”

“-Luna.”

Jung-gyeom said.

Min Bom only then recalls the goal of Villain Dyce.

And as soon as she heard the name, she understood everything.

Jeong-gyeom, who was a loner, didn’t have many people he cared about.

Thus, it is not difficult to infer who the female villain name that came out of his mouth refers to.

Jung-gyeom said weakly to Min-bom.

“…..Suyeon was Luna.”

“…………..”

“……It had to be like this.”

“…………..”

“…I’m sorry, Bom. I didn’t want to hurt you… No.”

Song Soo-yeon is Luna.

Unbelievable truth revealed.

But assuming that Jung-gyeom is not one to lie in a situation like this, and that this statement is true…She will be able to understand Jeong-gyeom’s behavior.

“……hahahaha.”

Minbom let out a dejected laugh.

Irrespective of the right or wrong choice, if his words were true, I could understand.

In the first place, Jeong-gyeom was this kind of person.

He was an extremely generous person for his people.

“…Wait a minute…”

“…….”

“…Wait a minute, oppa.”

Minbom continued to burst out laughing.

The current reality is just one problem.

The bigger problem is…The things that will happen in the future.

Jeong-gyeom has to turn himself in.

Because Min Bom herself has also insisted on that.

When Shake and other hero colleagues told him to give up the dice, Minbom himself held on to him until the end.

Even the moment Dice appeared, it was reported to the Association.

There was no corner for him to escape.

Minbom laughs for a while, then looks up at Jeonggyeom.

The anger that slowly rises up.

“…Brother, how could you do this to me?”

“…..Sorry.”

“…How could you… Not say a word to me?”

“…………”

“Brother…! I don’t know what Dice is…! That’s what I’ve been chasing so much…! Are you saying that I… Have to arrest my brother… With my own hands…?”

“………”

“Are you talking about disappearing from my side again?! How could it be like this!”

Min Bom took off her mask.

I let go of my appearance as Solas.

Tears began to well up in her eyes.

“The only one who recognizes me as Minbom is my older brother.”

“….”

“Others…! They expect and demand that I be perfect…! You can’t pretend to be weak, you can’t even tell your true feelings. You can’t even smoke a cigarette without permission…!”

“…..Bom.”

“My brother was the only shelter I had. Even if I pretended to be weak, the only one who accepted everything was my brother. But are you saying you want to disappear? Does that mean I have to kill my brother with my own hands? This makes sense!!”

Minbom stretched out both of her hands and grasped the hem of Jeonggyeom’s clothes.

Jung-gyeom has no answer.

She completely revealed to her Jung-gyeom even the side of herself that she usually tried to hide.

She said sharply to Jeong-gyeom.

“…..Don’t talk nonsense. I’m betrayed like this and I can’t stand still. Is it okay if only my brother goes to prison and pays for his crimes? Is it okay if only oppa is comfortable?”

At that time, the sound from Minbom’s walkie-talkie.

“…Have you got the dice?”

At the same time, Minbom’s hair and eyes start to shine brighter.

– Boom!

A huge shock wave occurred.

The walkie-talkie explodes with a crackle, and the lights of the few streetlights go out. Once again, a complete blackout occurred around Minbom.

The port became quiet in an instant.

Only the sound of the waves resounding quietly breaks the silence.

In the midst of it, Minbom was glaring at Jeonggyeom.

Blazing eyes, tight mouth.

Solas clasped the back of Jeonggyeom’s neck with both hands.

She whispered with an angry expression on her face.

“…I will punish you.”

Power went into her hands.

“…Your brother will die here.”

****

Song Soo-yeon bit her nails and refreshed her Internet articles.

Even when I called Stella, there was only an empty voice message saying that the connection could not be made.

She couldn’t be as anxious as she is now.

Jeong-gyeom said he would embroider instead of himself.

After a few hours, breaking news broke that Luna’s name had disappeared from the villain rankings.

This only meant one thing.

That Jeong-gyeom’s plan had succeeded.

-Just…Just…Just…

Song Soo-yeon bit her nails and struggled to understand the situation.

As of right now, all I could do was search for articles.

She tried to call Stella dozens of times, only to hear the same cold voice over and over again.

Just like that, it’s 2:00 in the morning.

The Hero Association announces breaking news.

In this breaking news live, a familiar face appears.

It was Solas.

She stared blankly at the camera, with her drained eyes.

Song Soo-yeon’s appearance reminded her of anxiety.

She is obviously the one she met with Dice.

She must have figured out Dyce’s identity.

She starts to present.

“…The villain alliance has collapsed. The arrests of Stingshot, Liquid, Liem, and Trino are over.”

At the shocking news, even though it was late in the morning, reporters who formed a sea of people burst into flash sherry.

Solas responded weakly to the lights.

Moreover, it was Solas’ behavior that increased Song Soo-yeon’s anxiety.

“No…Please…”

Not as much as the news that Jeong-gyeom was arrested. Please, it wasn’t like that.

Solas continues his presentation.

“…The last member of the coalition… And Luna…”

Reporters holding their breath.

Solas speaks quietly, averting her eyes.

“…Died in battle.”

It’s a welcome thing for Song Soo-yeon, but she wasn’t so happy right now.

I knew very well that it happened because of Jeonggyeom.

I knew very well that it was the result of the contract he and the Hero Association made.

“…..Finally.”

Ignoring the questions posed by numerous reporters, Solas speaks steadfastly.

Song Soo-yeon feels that the news she has been waiting for is approaching.

Solas opened his mouth again.

“During this process, I met Dice. He is……”

Song Soo-yeon takes a breath.

Solas says.

“……During the battle, he died.”

The shutters went off again.

However, Song Soo-yeon was so stiff, she just stared at the TV.
