I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 3: Help Me, Hero! (3)

Watching Song Soo-yeon actually prepare to leave after I told her to, I felt uneasy.

This wasn't what I intended.

Solace wouldn't have acted like this.

The reason I was given a second chance wasn't for this.

Realizing my first good deed might end in failure, I felt uncomfortable.

I scratched my cheek and eventually muttered.

"...You don't really have to go just because I said so."

However, at my words, Song Soo-yeon responded sharply.

"Even if you beg me to stay, I won't! How can I eat something this tasteless..."

Any guilt I had felt disappeared.

It was my first time doing a good deed and also my first time being scolded for it.

In this contradictory situation, I unwittingly raised my voice.

"Someone worked hard to make it so you could eat your fill-"

"-Then make it taste good!"

"What did you say?!"

"How can I eat this, it's so bad!"

".........."

When she spoke so bluntly, my confidence started to slightly crumble.

I glanced at the black bean noodles Song Soo-yeon had left behind.

After all, she must have been very hungry to swallow her pride and sit down here...

But leaving so much... maybe the food was bad?

Was it not just whining, but really inedible?

"..........Is it really that bad?"

I asked again, feeling sheepish.

"...I should have known when you said it was free..."

I did add some vinegar to reduce the greasiness...was that the problem?

Thinking about it, doing a good deed that the other person dislikes is just self-satisfaction.

It should be something the other person likes to be a proper good deed.

Being new to this, there were still aspects I needed to be mindful of.

If the food was really inedible, then I was the one who had been rude.

".....Is it really that bad?"

When she didn't answer, I asked again.

Song Soo-yeon silently pulled out her chair and stood up.

She took her bag and coat, and turned around without a word.

Curious about the taste of the black bean noodles, I picked up the leftover bowl.

I stirred the food and lifted a chopstick full.

"Ah.....what are you doing, really...?"

And just as I was about to put the black bean noodles in my mouth, a cold voice reached my ears.

Song Soo-yeon had turned around and was looking at me.

"...Huh?"

"Why are you eating what I spat out...? Are you really a pervert...?"

Her contemptuous gaze, combined with her sharp appearance, intensified the impact.

"....So disgusting..."
