I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 69 Doubt (2) edit

Song Soo-yeon was secretly sending a message to Stella.

[Stella. Is my alibi getting ready?]

The words Jung-gyeom had said earlier kept echoing in her head.

'I hate them. Villains.'

She knew it, but hearing it directly sent a chill through her heart that she hadn't anticipated.

It was the first time she'd seen him, who was always warm, use such words.

Hate.

For a moment, it felt as if those words weren't his.

It might be premature to guess, but perhaps he has some unpleasant memories related to villains?

Then, the expression he wore when looking at Solace began to make some sense.

And, she realized once again that she must never let him find out she's a villain.

Of course, the risk of being discovered wasn't very high.

Once the alibi was prepared, everything would be perfect.

Soon, she would start to have a lot of money.

It meant she couldn't pretend to be poor forever.

If she wanted to give Jung-gyeom expensive gifts, she needed an excuse for all that money.

Stella replied.

[Yes. It's almost done. But you should take a day off too, Luna. We agreed to take pictures, remember? Speaking of which, are you free tomorrow?]

Soo-yeon glanced at Jung-gyeom.

"Mister, what are you doing tomorrow?"

"Me? I'm volunteering."

"..."

Why did the thought of him going somewhere she didn't know make her so uneasy?

She was afraid he might meet another woman without her knowledge.

But she knew that anything more would be obsession.

Acknowledging that he had plans, she nodded.

Then, she replied to Stella.

[I'm free tomorrow.]

[Then come to the hideout by 3 PM. Don't worry. The other members won't be there.]

After confirming the message, Soo-yeon put away her phone.

Then, as she stood up, she said,

"Mister, let's go see the studio apartment now."

I whispered into Soo-yeon's ear, as if persuading her.

"...Soo-yeon-ah, this isn't right. Why insist on this place? The first place you showed me was much better."

However, she firmly shook her head.

It was rare to see her so resolute.

"No. I've decided on this place."

"But the deposit and rent are expensive. The transportation isn't great either... it's between dark alleys... how will you come home at night?"

"I'll go with Mister. It's close."

"Let's not do that and choose the first place we saw. The deposit is cheaper, the rent is cheaper, and if you walk for just 5 minutes, there are shopping districts... oh, there's also a convenience store nearby."
