I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 121: The Unchanging Hero (2)

After a long time, Han Yoo-jung put on her mask upside down.

She stopped at a secluded harbor and looked out at the dark sea.

A cool, slightly fishy sea breeze brushed her hair.

It was still overwhelming, but she began to sort out her feelings one by one.

It was a goodbye.

To Jung-gyeom, and... her sister Yoo-ra.

Suddenly, she wondered.

What would her sister Yoo-ra say, seeing how she had become a villain?

She felt ashamed to face her sister, who had hoped to become a hero.

Reunion was still a far-off thing... but she already felt ashamed.

But she hoped Yoo-ra would understand.

That she had no other choice. That she would have regretted it either way.

She couldn't bring herself to like the heroes who took Yoo-ra's life.

"....Take good care of my sister, Gyeom."

She muttered to the sea.

At that moment, a low moan came from behind.

Tryno had woken up, affected by the brisk sea breeze.

"....What...?"

Tryno opened his eyes and noticed the handcuffs for ability users around his wrists.

-Click, click.

He shook the handcuffs in panic and exerted force, but, of course, the handcuffs didn't budge.

His eyes wandered and then found Han Yoo-jung.

"....Stella?"

"..."

"You were safe? Where have you been all this time?"

Han Yoo-jung calmly looked at Tryno.

"-I wasn't safe, Tryno."

"......? I don't understand, but unlock these handcuffs first. I remember Luna, but I don't know why I'm like this."

"....I won't unlock the handcuffs either."

"......What?"

Han Yoo-jung felt no particular emotion towards Tryno.

They had never been personally involved, after all.

However, she felt an uncomfortable emotion now.

It was not easy to ignore the desperate face of a former comrade, even if they were a villain.

Han Yoo-jung considered this her karma and accepted the situation.

"Solace is coming."

She said, without further explanation.

Tryno, dumbfounded by her words, tried to suddenly get up from his spot.

But the handcuffs on his ankles prevented that.

Tryno wrestled with the handcuffs again and looked up at Han Yoo-jung.

"Stella...! Why are you doing this! This will kill us both!"

"I know."

"....What?"

"....For his sake, this is what I have to do."

"....What are you talking about...!"

Anxiously blinking, Tryno crawled towards Han Yoo-jung. He begged earnestly.
