I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 81: Birthday Date (4)

I turned off the alarm.

I woke up from a deep sleep, the first in a long time.

Rubbing my bleary eyes, I checked the sunlight coming in through the window.

The morning had passed, and it was soon to be noon.

I sat up and looked around.

".....?"

I lightly brushed around my parched lips and noticed the bed had changed.

"....What?"

There was no blanket, no quilt.

Song Soo-yeon was also gone.

As if evaporated, there wasn't a single trace of her left.

Even the doll I had picked out for her was gone, and looking at the entrance, her shoes were gone too.

"If you were going to do this, why did you ask to sleep together?"

I scratched my head.

No, maybe I just woke up too late.

I got up from my spot and checked the bed again.

Only the faint scent of Song Soo-yeon, like that of a flower, let me know she had slept here.

But where did my blanket and quilt go?

Why take them?

After laying out Song Soo-yeon's quilt, which was spread on the floor, onto my bed, I sat on the bed blankly for a while to wake up.

-Ding-dong.

Soon, the doorbell rang.

And Song Soo-yeon entered, dressed differently from yesterday.

"......"

She burst into laughter seeing my half-awake, disheveled appearance.

I couldn't react at all to her sudden laughter.

While she laughed for a long while, I just wet my lips.

Finally, after calming her laughter, Song Soo-yeon asked.

"Hey, mister. Why are you sitting there like a fool?"

"...Where did you go?"

"Home. I took the blanket and quilt."

"Why?"

"Too much sweat."

"Oh."

It seemed she was too embarrassed to return them after sweating.

I was going to say I didn't mind... but it might sound a little wrong from her perspective.

So, instead, I asked.

"...Then what should I use to cover myself from now on..."

"-Use that quilt, mister."

I looked at Song Soo-yeon's quilt, neatly folded on my bed.

"...This one?"

"Yes. It's still clean. I haven't used it much."

I nodded, not minding.

I need to wash my face to wake up.

Taking a deep breath, I opened my eyes wide.

Time to take a shower.

"...."

As I was about to stand up, I locked eyes with Song Soo-yeon.

Before I knew it, she was standing still, staring at me.
