I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 26: My Hero (2)

"...Get lost, damn it."

It was fortunate that he had turned his back.

Had he seen her face, he might have realized how difficult it was for her to utter those words.

Somehow, he always seemed to understand her struggles well.

"...I'm looking for another part-time job. Don't worry. I'll disappear just as you want."

"...That's not what I meant."

"Is that so?"

"...I don't want... I don't want you to disappear, Soo-yeon."

Even amidst this, the fact that he didn't want her to disappear sent a thrilling pleasure through her.

It felt like a reward for all her waiting.

He had clearly stated that he didn't want her to disappear.

Her calculations were right, after all.

He must have been in love, helplessly so.

"It's too late. I won't return to a traitor."

His apology sounded almost like a consolation, seeming to soothe her hurt feelings.

And as she received this comfort, her suppressed emotions began to overflow.

Before she knew it, she was showing her true feelings to him, not just an act.

It wasn't planned.

She had only wished that he would feel a bit of the pain she had endured throughout the night.

"...Don't do this. I get that you're upset... Just forgive me this once. There's no need for this on a good day, right?"

"What are you talking about? You pushed me away first, telling me to leave. And now I'm going."

"...I'm sorry. Let's forget about this and go have something nice to eat. Today, let's do something special, go out to eat, and take a walk to make up..."

Song Soo-yeon swayed like a reed at every word he said.

She almost immediately wanted to relent and drop her sharp stance.

Now, she too wanted to reconcile with him.

But her inner turmoil held her back.

If she was to do this, she wanted to be certain.

Such an event should never happen again.

"Just go and enjoy yourself alone."

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

"I'll be fine. I'll make friends with other people and forget about you, just so you know."

She never actually intended to do that.

But Song Soo-yeon had seen how other women got jealous when men confessed to her.

Jung-gyeom surely liked her, and she intended to stir up his jealousy.

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

He remained silent, as if she had dampened his spirits.

It seemed like her plan was somewhat working.

As they caused a commotion, more and more people began to look their way.

Song Soo-yeon still had her back turned to Jung-gyeom.

The murmuring grew louder. Parents, students... various people.

"What's going on? Is that guy hitting on a high school student?"
