The Hero Became Obsessed With The Villain [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 284

Stardus walked silently in the labyrinth created by Dungeon Maker while holding tightly to Egostic hand.

"...."

She walked down the hall, pushing the sound of her pounding heart away.

She didn't know if her heart was beating faster or slower because of how wonderful it was to hold hands like this.

Only that her palm and his were pressed together, like they were glued together.

Feeling his cold skin slowly warmed by her warm hand and his fingers curl around the back of her hand made her heart throb.

Stardus was only silently aware that her heart was still beating for some reason.

...Thank goodness it was dark so he couldn't see her flushed face.

With that, Stardus walked down the darkened hallway, holding tightly to his hand.

As she watched him walk straight ahead, hand in hand, without hesitation, she silently thought to herself.

...Apparently, Egostic knows the system of this labyrinth and there were fewer things he didn't know before now.

That means he came here for her own good. He's always flown in when she was in danger, as if he knew.

Why is he doing this to me?

...What does he think of me?

Stardus held hands with him, feeling the warmth of his body slowly returning, just the two of them walking together, their bare flesh touching, in a place where no one else was.

Stardus wondered more and more about him and soon she decided to take this opportunity, which might never come again, to ask him the question she'd always wanted to ask.

"Hey, Egostic."

"...Yeah? What's wrong?"

He flinched slightly at her words, and answered.

Hearing him ask himself that question she paused for a moment, wondering what to say. Then she blurted out the question she'd been dying to ask.

"...Why do you keep me?"

That's what she wanted to ask.

What does he think of her, that he would go to such lengths for her? What purpose...Or some kind of emotion.

Today, she wanted to hear the answer.

"...Haha, what do you mean, what did I do to help you?"

Egostic scowled but she explained, quietly and carefully, everything he had done so far. From the Moonlight Church to his work in the basement of the HanEun Group, and why he would go to such lengths.

Stardus asked, turning to the Egostic who held his hand in hers, for once she wanted to hear the truth.

"......"

After a moment of silence at her question he opened his mouth again, and said nonchalantly.

"That's because you're my archnemesis."

"...That explains it."

Stardus was about to retort as usual but Egostic cut her off with a slight chuckle.

In the darkness, still holding her hand, he said.

"And because you mean something to me."

"..."

As his words echoed down the hall and before Stardus, dazed by the words, could reply, "No."

"I'm a villain, and you know it."
