I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 115: The Link (4)

"Did you meet Soo-yeon?"

Han Yoo-jung, who stilled for a moment, didn't even look at me as she answered.

"...No?"

"..."

She put a pot full of water on the stove and waited for it to boil.

She still wouldn't look at me, as if something was pricking her conscience.

"...Han Yoo-jung."

When I called her name, she shuddered and bowed her head.

I told her,

"...I told you not to do anything unnecessary."

"..."

"If you keep this up, I'll have no choice but to lock you up in prison again."

"..."

"Stop trying to get between me and Soo-yeon."

"..."

A long silence followed. I just waited for her to nod in agreement.

Then, the water began to boil, and bubbles formed as the salt was added.

Spurred by the sound of boiling water, Han Yoo-jung took a deep breath and said firmly,

"...I don't know what you're talking about."

She spits out the exact opposite of what I wanted to hear.

"Why would I meet Luna? Why are you suddenly bringing that up?"

"Black bean noodles-"

"-I made black bean noodles because I wanted to eat it. If it reminds you of Luna, isn't that because of the lingering feelings you have for her?"

"........"

Han Yoo-jung firmly denied it.

To the point where even I was confused.

Scratching the back of my head, I sighed.

Am I being too sensitive?

After all, I had been fighting with Solace all day, so my mood wasn't exactly great.

Had I unknowingly taken out my frustration without appreciating her effort in making the food?

"...Anyway, let's stop this nonsense."

I concluded the situation and took a seat.

Han Yoo-jung glanced over her shoulder at me and then focused back on boiling the noodles.

The sound of cooking filled the kitchen.

Again, memories with Song Soo-yeon came flooding back.

'...It's edible now.'

It felt like I could even hear her voice.

"...Heh."

I laughed without realizing it.

Recalling like this, it was kind of nice.

-Click.

Han Yoo-jung placed the black bean noodles in front of me.

Yellow noodles, black sauce mixed with various vegetables, topped with cucumber.

"...Eat, Gyeom."

Lost in memories, I asked,

"Do you have vinegar?"

"............Yes."

I took the vinegar she handed me and lightly drizzled it over my black bean noodles.
