"No, you can't...!"
Song Soo-yeon spoke out even before Jung-gyeom could answer.
Jung-gyeom's head slowly turned toward her.
"No...you can't. Just no."
She repeated like a parrot, not meeting Jung-gyeom's gaze.
She hadn't yet come up with a reason to convince him.
She just held onto his arm, pleading with her words.
".....Did you hate heroes this much?"
Jung-gyeom's voice echoed.
Song Soo-yeon gave no response.
".........Soo-yeon... do you hate me that much...?"
The hurt in Min-Bom's voice was just an afterthought, barely piercing Song Soo-yeon's consciousness with guilt.
Song Soo-yeon bit her lip and then came up with a seemingly valid reason.
"It's... because you're a hero."
"........."
"What if villains find out you're helping Mister? Can you guarantee this restaurant will remain safe?"
"....Uh..."
"Don't you care about our safety?"
"Song Soo-yeon...."
Min-Bom glanced at Jung-gyeom before responding.
"I'll be as careful as possible in that regard. I'll always be by Gyeom oppa's side to protect him...."
Song Soo-yeon swallowed hard.
That was even worse.
She couldn't bear the thought of her always being by Jung-gyeom's side.
It just couldn't happen.
"...No..you can't. I don't trust you. I don't trust heroes."
Then, a light laughter eased the tense atmosphere.
Jung-gyeom tousled Song Soo-yeon's hair.
"Ah, Mister?"
"....Hah. Why am I smiling and feeling happy?"
".....What?"
"......You're pushing Bom away because you're worried about me, aren't you?"
"........"
"...Ah. I learned a lot today. Soo-yeon doesn't actually hate me."
"Mister, that's not what we're talking about."
"It's okay."
Jung-gyeom stated firmly.
Song Soo-yeon doubted her ears.
She looked up at him.
".....What?"
"Thank you for worrying. I'll be fine. There won't be any problems."
"But, but-"
"If that were the case, wouldn't all heroes' acquaintances be in danger? You're overthinking it."
Song Soo-yeon slightly distanced herself from Jung-gyeom and looked at his expression, asking weakly.
"......So, you're accepting her proposal?"
"....Yes. I don't think it will be too difficult for me."
Song Soo-yeon shut her eyes tightly and shook her head, not letting go of Jung-gyeom's hands.
