I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 27: My Hero (3)

Solace and Jung-gyeom.

Song Soo-yeon watched them from a short distance away.

Solace spoke.

"Uh...uh? Don't cry, please!"

"Ahaha...no, it's not like that.."

Jung-gyeom wiped away his brimming tears.

Song Soo-yeon knew he cried easily, but somehow, these tears felt different.

They seemed more intense than any other tears she had seen him shed.

And it was the first time she had seen him cry for someone other than herself.

However, soon Jung-gyeom looked straight at Solace and smiled.

That smile made Song Soo-yeon's heart ache again.

It was obvious, but Jung-gyeom could smile for people other than her.

Yet, Song Soo-yeon couldn't understand why it was so unpleasant for her to see him smile at someone else.

She had never seen Jung-gyeom with another woman before.

Jung-gyeom said,

"......................I'm honored."

"I...I'm not that amazing..."

".........You don't know that."

Jung-gyeom seemed to have forgotten about Song Soo-yeon.

They were in their own world.

They didn't care about anything else around them.

Not the murmuring people, not the students starting to record with their smartphones.

In an oddly natural and comfortable atmosphere, they looked at each other.

Though they had just met, they seemed like friends who had known each other for a long time.

Song Soo-yeon felt a jolt of pain in her heart, like an electric shock, and her frozen body started to move.

Something was wrong.

If she just watched, it wouldn't be right.

An alarm rang in her head.

She couldn't tell why.

But the sight of them together was incredibly unpleasant for her.

"Ah...mister! I said we're not done talking...."

She ran towards Jung-gyeom with a desperation she had never shown to her classmates.

Her voice sounded almost like a tantrum, completely devoid of the venom she had before.

"Um? mister.....? The age difference is..."

Solace repeated Song Soo-yeon's term for him.

Then Jung-gyeom, as if waking from a dream, blinked a couple of times and turned his gaze towards Song Soo-yeon.

"........."

Song Soo-yeon could see the change on Jung-gyeom's face.

As if returning to reality, his face slowly became shrouded in sadness again.

The despair he felt towards Song Soo-yeon returned.

'Ugh...!'

Although it was a natural reaction to the conversation, Song Soo-yeon felt her heart ache again.

He smiles at Solace, but his smile fades when he looks at her.

She hated that fact.

No matter how much they fought, Solace had just met him.
