I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 60: Weight Class Difference (4)

With her eyes wide open, Song Soo-yeon stared at Min-Bom.

Min-Bom, with a flushed face, scratched her cheek and gauged Song Soo-yeon's reaction.

"I know it's sudden... but, well, it happened."

Even without reading minds, it was clear.

This was genuine.

That she had fallen for Jung-gyeom.

Song Soo-yeon took another look at Min-Bom, who was all dressed up.

She wore earrings and a necklace on purpose.

Even asking Jung-gyeom to cook steak and bringing wine were all intentional.

She had a vague feeling, but knowing the truth made the shock double.

The intent behind these actions seemed even more detestable.

She wanted to flip over all the food.

Seeing Song Soo-yeon silent, Min-Bom continued.

"...It's shocking, isn't it? I never thought I'd like someone-"

"-Why?"

Song Soo-yeon, frozen, asked without realizing.

It was an implicit question that encompassed hundreds of questions.

Min-Bom paused upon hearing Song Soo-yeon's question, then asked.

"Why did I fall for oppa?"

"..."

"Or why him?"

"..."

"...Hmm.."

Min-Bom pondered for a moment.

She then looked over Song Soo-yeon's shoulder at Jung-gyeom in the kitchen.

A faint smile appeared on her face.

Min-Bom answered both questions at once.

"...Because when I'm with oppa, I can be myself."

Sweet honey seemed to fall from her eyes, showing her happiness just by looking at him.

The more Song Soo-yeon confirmed Min-Bom's sincerity, the heavier her heart sank.

She could name that emotion.

It wasn't the usual anger or jealousy.

It was fear.

Fear enough to make her hands tremble.

She might have instinctively known.

That she was no match for Min-Bom.

That Min-Bom had the power to take Jung-gyeom away from her.

And that Jung-gyeom could come to love Min-Bom.

Between them, there was no wall Song Soo-yeon had built around Jung-gyeom.

Unlike Song Soo-yeon, who still called him 'mister,' their names for each other were already intimate.

From the beginning, they treated each other kindly and gently, like old friends.

In contrast, even after getting close to him, Song Soo-yeon called him names like loser, nerd, idiot, and pervert for months.

These subtle differences might have led to the current changes.

The very fact that Min-bom was a hero would appeal to Jung-gyeom's heart.

Given his desire to help the vulnerable, he would like someone like Min-bom.
