I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 44: Once in a Lifetime Opportunity (6)

As the game started following Solace's pitch, Song Soo-yeon began to enjoy herself.

She took advantage of the situation to talk to Jung-gyeom to the point of being annoying.

"Why is that batter going out?"

"That's a strikeout. The pitcher threw three good pitches and the batter couldn't hit the ball."

"Oh? But sometimes the pitcher throws more than three times."

"That's because the pitcher doesn't always throw accurately. They have to throw the ball into a specific zone three times. If the ball goes into that zone, it's called a strike, and if it goes outside, it's called a ball."

She listened attentively as he explained the rules in detail.

Jung-gyeom enjoyed the game, kindly explaining even things she didn't ask, without any signs of annoyance.

As the cheering grew louder, they had to lean towards each other to hear.

Every time Jung-gyeom leaned in, Song Soo-yeon tensed up from his scent.

Her heart fluttered.

She worried if she smelled okay.

But she had dressed up carefully and bathed, so it should be fine.

She forgot about Solace.

She was still in the stadium, but Song Soo-yeon couldn't see exactly where.

Apparently, she was there as a kind of security measure.

The first pitch was just an added role.

But that was okay.

Right now, she was the one beside Jung-gyeom.

She was the one on a date with him.

There was no need to be anxious.

Rather, the cheerleaders were more of a nuisance.

There seemed to be many men who came to the stadium just to watch the cheerleaders.

Song Soo-yeon saw them, disgustingly fixated, not watching the game but only staring at the dancers.

Song Soo-yeon pretended not to notice and kept glancing at Jung-gyeom.

Wondering if he was also secretly watching the cheerleaders.

But he wasn't looking at the cheerleaders.

Even if he did, he didn't show much interest.

He just followed their lead in clapping and singing along with the cheers, with none of the concerns Song Soo-yeon had.

She smiled secretly, satisfied.

But in truth, she realized she had no right to criticize men who only watched the cheerleaders.

She wasn't watching the baseball game either.

No matter how detailed Jung-gyeom's explanation was, or how hard she tried to take an interest, baseball was not to her taste.

Her only interest was Jung-gyeom.

She came to watch baseball but ended up only watching Jung-gyeom enjoying himself.

Knowing it would be weird to stare at him, she pretended to look at the crowd while actually watching him.

If she couldn't see his face, then his neck.

If not the neck, then his shoulders.

If not the shoulders, then his arms, and if not the arms, then his hands.
