I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 10: Villain Luna (5)

After a series of events, Song Soo-yeon's discomfort towards him diminished significantly.

In fact, it was funny to be nervous around someone like him.

The more she saw him, the more harmless he seemed.

He seemed to have forgotten his earlier anger, now humming a tune and cooking.

Song Soo-yeon found the space around them increasingly comfortable.

Feeling a kinship with him played a part.

She also saw herself in him.

Soon, he served black bean noodles.

"Here, eat."

When the food arrived, Song Soo-yeon removed her mask.

In that instant, with a sudden movement, his hand touched Song Soo-yeon's cheek.

Startled, Song Soo-yeon swatted his hand away and looked up at him.

Thud!

But he paid no attention to her reaction.

"You're hurt."

He simply stared at her burst lip with a grave expression.

"...Ah.."

Surprisingly, Song Soo-yeon didn't find his concern unwelcome.

Despite hiding her wounds behind a mask to ward off other men, his attention didn't feel intrusive.

Yet, out of habit, she bristled.

She didn't want to be caught relishing the warmth.

"...Don't touch me like that suddenly. It's annoying."

"...Just wait a moment, where's the medicine?"

"I said it's fine."

Despite her protest, he began searching around.

Song Soo-yeon watched him, marveling anew at how love could drive a person's actions.

Why would he go to such lengths for something that wasn't his concern?

Ignoring him, Song Soo-yeon reached for chopsticks.

"It will only take a moment."

But he extended his hand, stopping her from reaching for the food.

"It will hurt to eat."

"......."

Song Soo-yeon looked at him, then set down her chopsticks.

She didn't resist his suggestion.

It seemed less troublesome to let him have his way.

However, he couldn't find the medicine.

Watching him stand up with a complex expression, Song Soo-yeon asked,

"Are we done? I'll just eat now."

"No. No, just wait a bit longer. It won't take long."

He prepared to step outside the store.

"...Where are you going?"

"To buy medicine. Just wait a little."

"It doesn't hurt that much."

"I'm worried, that's why."

Then he hurriedly left the store.

Song Soo-yeon was dumbfounded.

It was absurd: him leaving her in charge of the store, making more of a fuss than she did, and going out to buy medicine for someone who had just come to eat for free.
