I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 8: Villain Luna (3)

Upon hearing the man's command to leave, Song Soo-yeon promptly rose from her seat.

She had won.

In her mind, she had stripped away the mask of the man who had been pretending to be good.

Although her mouth was dry and her stomach even hungrier, she felt better.

She had released some of the stress that had accumulated over the years onto him.

Who did he think he was, feigning kindness?

What a creep.

She suspected that even this restaurant was set up to lure in hungry and impoverished minors like herself.

Justifying her actions, Song Soo-yeon felt a sense of satisfaction.

She remained silent to his subsequent questions, thinking that ignoring him would hurt more.

She prepared to leave the restaurant, her belongings in tow.

One regret lingered: she still couldn't hear the thoughts in his heart, even if they were mere hallucinations.

Hearing his vile thoughts would have brought her some peace.

Suddenly, a thought struck Song Soo-yeon.

...What if his kindness was genuine?

What if he had no ulterior motives?

Was she dismissing someone who could have been an ally?

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

She heard Dice's question from behind.

"......"

Unintentionally, she turned to look at him.

But he was toying with the food she had discarded, lifting it as though to eat.

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

This time, her words sprang from genuine surprise.

"...Huh?"

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

"........"

"....So disgusting..."

"No, I... I was just going to try it because you didn't answer..."

Song Soo-yeon inherently didn't trust others.

Even though he didn't display the lustful gaze she'd seen in other men, she thought it was just an act.

Despite his harmless expression and loser-like demeanor, and his excuses that he had no ill intentions, Song Soo-yeon refused to believe him.

She didn't want to believe that he was a good person. It was more comforting for her to think otherwise.

She had never met a man who didn't harbor sexual desires towards her, so assuming ulterior motives felt natural.

Sighing, she left the shop again, hoping never to encounter him again.

She had revealed too much of herself.

Also, it was the first time she had vented on someone.

Ending this as a dirty and uncomfortable relationship was easier for her.

However, as she was leaving, she heard a voice.

"Hey! Come back tomorrow! I'll make it tasty for you!"

At those words, Song Soo-yeon hesitated momentarily.

Really, she had never seen a pushover like him before.
