The Hero Became Obsessed With The Villain [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 369

"Misunderstanding?"

"Yes. A misunderstanding. Stardus...Haru. Please listen to me."

I slightly averted my eyes from Haru's, who was glaring at me in my arms, and began to speak in an authoritative voice.

"First of all, you do realize that Ms. Lee has a lot of influence in Korea, right? She's not only a hero, she's the chairwoman of a major corporation, and she's even dabbling in politics."

"Uh."

"...So, in order to prevent me from being caught and exposed, I contacted Ms. Lee Seola first and blackmailed her. We established a business relationship, and that's the end of it."

"I see...Then why did you hide it until now?"

Feeling like she was being told something she hadn't even heard, she blurted out.

"I didn't mean to hide it, but I didn't really care, so I didn't have a chance to tell you, haha."

"...Yeah. I see."

She replied as if she understood what I was saying, but she still looked a bit puzzled.

...Well, it can't be helped. It's been a long time since I realized her true identity, and of course, we were more like business partners...But I wasn't so clueless as to say so here.

Anyway, she seems to be a bit bemused by my explanation.

...Somehow, I felt the need to do something, realizing that this could be a big problem later on.

...Right. I'll do this.

"...."

With that, I made my decision.

Immediately, I continued to speak to her.

"...And Haru. You know."

"Huh...?"

"That you're the only one I have."

After saying that, I gently took her hand in mine and smiled through clenched teeth.

"Haven't I told you before that you're the only one I've ever wanted? Do you think I'd ever turn to another? You've always been the only thing that meant something to me, from the beginning, and always will be."

I said with such sincerity and kept my eyes locked with hers, my hands clasped together.

At my words, Stardus said.

"...Uh, huh?"

Her face was flushed from ear to ear, her blue eyes unfocused and fluttering with embarrassment.

...Finally, her face was her usual relaxed self, not the scary one from earlier.

Phew, I'd made it through the crisis.

After a day of reeling from my awkward confession, I grabbed her hand and pulled her up from the ground.

"Come on, let's go check out the other places, we're running out of time, and we have a lot to see, don't we?"

She smiled at my words.

She blushed, then nodded and said.

"Yeah..."

***

And just like that we spent the rest of the day wandering around, enjoying ourselves.

And now it was time to really say goodbye.

"Phew... I guess that's it, huh?"

"Yep."

With our clothes disguised as if we'd just been in a fierce fight, we were soon holding hands and standing in an unlikely place.
