I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 78: Birthday Date (1)

I acted to give off a bright energy.

Song Soo-yeon realized my intentions as well, and that prickly kid laughed along with me.

"Mister, let's go there too."

"Shall we?"

But deep down, I felt a precariousness.

Our relationship was built on a house made of paper.

It felt like my long-standing resolution was crumbling as well.

Originally, I didn't care whether Song Soo-yeon became a villain or not.

It was my decision not to become a villain, not others'.

I had no intention of forcefully preaching the enlightenment I received through Solace to others.

As such, my intention to help Song Soo-yeon wasn't for her sake.

It was for Solace's sake.

Thinking that it would be a lot of help to her if neither she nor I engaged in villainous activities...

It was okay if it worked out, and no big deal if it didn't.

It was an action that began with that level of resolution.

So, even when Song Soo-yeon spat harsh words at me, I endured it.

Not just because it was a good deed, but also because I had the heart to endure for Solace.

Despite her resolution to never love me, I was not swayed and acted for her sake.

...But then, something unexpected happened.

Towards Song Soo-yeon, who had done nothing for me... I began to feel affection.

Was it because of loneliness?

Or was it a natural reaction that occurred over time?

Eventually, acting for Song Soo-yeon's sake wasn't for Solace anymore.

I just wanted her to be happy.

The closer we got, the more I felt pained by the misfortune that befell her.

No matter how much she called me a pushover, loser, idiot, moron, it wasn't enough for me to push her away.

It felt like a wounded puppy barking because it was afraid of people.

And the moment I realized that, it was hard for me to control my heart.

No matter how much she misbehaved, it only made her seem more pitiful.

At some point, her happiness became more important than my own.

So, when I was alone, I would eat just anything... but for her, I made sure to prepare something delicious.

It wasn't hard to give up my house or add to her allowance.

I tried to clear away the misfortune that had settled on her.

As I sincerely did so, Song Soo-yeon began to change as well.

I felt that she relied on and trusted me.

The moment I physically felt our hearts connecting.

My affection for her had already grown too big.

Song Soo-yeon was too precious to me.

Thus, my personal desires also blossomed.

I sincerely began to hope that she would not become a villain.

I hoped she wouldn't live a life of loneliness like I did.

I hoped she wouldn't walk a path filled with regrets.
