I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 68 Doubt (1) edit

After finishing my morning exercise, Song Soo-yeon entered the restaurant.

"...Ah, hello."

She waved at me, her movements stiff.

I was slightly puzzled by her unusual demeanor but greeted her back.

"Have you arrived? I was just about to go take a shower."

"..."

Song Soo-yeon slowly approached me, peeked closer, and began sniffing the scent of my sweat.

Startled, I pushed her away, exclaiming,

"You're smelling me...! What are you doing?"

"...Just curious about how much you smell."

"...You've really developed a knack for teasing."

Song Soo-yeon smirked and then sat down on a chair.

She feigned distraction for a moment, then awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck and made a suggestion.

"...Mister, I was thinking of looking for a studio apartment today. Will you come with me?"

"Are you planning to find one today?"

"I need to return the room quickly."

"...Hmm...Okay. Let's go together."

I accepted her request without any hesitation.

A small smile appeared on Song Soo-yeon's face.

"Then, I'll go and take a shower. Let's leave right after that. I've been browsing a bit on the app; it seems many people use it these days."

"Okay."

Just as I was about to step outside with my phone, it started ringing.

"Hmm?"

It was Solace.

Song Soo-yeon looked at me.

I stopped and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Gyeom oppa?"

"Yes. Bom, why did you call?"

"...Just because."

I chuckled.

At that moment, Song Soo-yeon stood up, came close to me, and spoke into the phone.

"I'm here too."

"...........So-yeon?"

"Yes. I wanted to let you know I'm here, so you don't feel like you're being eavesdropped on."

"...Thanks for the consideration. You're with oppa?"

"It's close to my house."

Song Soo-yeon leaned her cheek against my arm, persistently pulling me into the call.

I turned on the speakerphone, conscious of the sweat smell, and pushed her away from me.

At the same time, Min-Bom yawned and complained to me.

"Ah...Oppa. I'm so tired. I worked overtime yesterday."

"...Because of Mayhem?"

"...Huh? Yeah?"

"I saw it on the news. It was shocking."

I had no sympathy for Mayhem.

Even before the regression, I didn't care about his actions as long as he didn't cross the line.
