I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 57: Weight Class Difference (1)

"...What's this all of a sudden?"

Song Soo-yeon couldn't hold back and interrupted.

She restrained her voice to avoid repeating the same mistake as before, but her heart was racing fiercely.

Jung-gyeom had said that he was tired of her and Solace fighting.

Song Soo-yeon didn't want to fight with Solace anymore in front of him.

But she had to say what needed to be said.

To avoid escalating into a fight, Song Soo-yeon tried her best to hide her anxiety and anger as she asked.

Min-Bom looked at her, her expression apologetic.

"Sorry, Soo-yeon. It's not that I'm excluding you... I just wanted to thank oppa for something, and thought of repaying him."

"...What did you do behind my back, mister?"

Song Soo-yeon asked Jung-gyeom, but it was Min-Bom who answered.

"Behind your back, Soo-yeon? Oppa doesn't have to report everything to you."

"..."

For the first time, Song Soo-yeon sensed a thread of malice in Min-Bom's words.

It was subtle enough for Jung-gyeom not to notice.

Along with anger, her anxiety grew.

"..."

Despite trying not to care, she felt a heavy pressure in her chest.

Min-Bom continued, still smiling.

"You know, I fought with Gigant yesterday. Before that, oppa gave me courage."

Song Soo-yeon frowned.

Behind her, Jung-gyeom scratched his head awkwardly.

"It wasn't that big of a deal, just..."

Song Soo-yeon didn't miss the opportunity.

"...If that's the case, Unni, you don't really need to repay him."

"I want to because I'm grateful. I want to do this."

As Min-Bom insisted, Jung-gyeom's lips began to quiver.

His agitation and happiness were obvious.

It was inevitable.

Being the loner that he is.

Just like how he jumped for joy over a simple gift like a wish bracelet.

He couldn't help but be happy about such a repayment.

"..."

If it were just a repayment, Song Soo-yeon wouldn't have been this anxious.

The way the repayment was suggested and her attitude were shaking Song Soo-yeon too much.

Wasn't this just a date invitation wrapped in the guise of repayment?

Song Soo-yeon was about to say something again, but Min-Bom was quicker.

"So? Oppa, your answer? You couldn't possibly dislike it... right?"

Min-Bom, acting coy and pitiful.

Song Soo-yeon felt a wave of disgust at her act.

But Jung-gyeom just laughed lightly, as if he found her cute.

And then, he waved his hand and said,

"How could I dislike it? Sure, let's go watch a movie."
