Villain Eaten By The Hero - Chapter 25
CHAPTER 25
Even knowing that, he find himself comparing the subtle color differences between his hands and her body as he place his hands on her. A little darker here, a bit lighter there… he thinks to himself.
As he moved his hands, sweet beads formed on her skin. He touched her most sensitive spots, and a suppressed moan escapes her lips, like a delicate whimper.
At first, she flinched away like she’s ticklish by it, but when his hands move away, she sends him a subtly disappointed look.
“Mmm, mmm, do that.”
Do what?
He was tempted to ask. Pride would make him give up if she didn’t want it, but later, she’d secretly reach out his hand. If he doesn’t comply, he can easily imagine her sobbing and pouting.
The word “seductive” surely suited her face at that time.
The way she furiously tries to open her slightly slackened eyes, the way the tears are so faint you can barely make out. Her face flushed with a charming and distinct hue, her tongue tip tangled with saliva from her excitement. Even her lips, open and shut with frustration yet unable to resist temptation, were alluring.
Any man would be captivated by her seductive and sensual face. That’s why he’s lusting after that look, too.
“Don’t stop.”
Belze’s hand reached out, her weakened fingers resting on the his chest. And then…
“――.”
The name that came out from her fierce lips was not Seo’s.
“Hu…”
Could it be that bastard?
At that moment, his senses snapped back into place. His illusion was torn apart, leaving behind the cold, empty bed he could vividly feel. He was so deep in his delusion that the pillow he was hugging had lost its shape.
He had no idea how the stuffing managed to change its shape, but this was already the second time.
It was 3 in the morning.
Even though it was 3 in the morning, and he had ruined two pillows, Seo still couldn’t manage to fall asleep.
“Shit. Damn it. Is this your purpose? To torment people to death…!”
His pent-up resentment echoed loudly that reverberated beyond the cabin walls.

In the two-person room where Hye-na and Belze stayed, three people sitting around the table yawned and stretched their bodies, releasing strained groans.
“Great job.”
“You’re welcome. It’s already time for breakfast. Shall we go wash up and have breakfast?”
“You should go shower first. I’ll go have some food first and then take a shower and sleep.”
“Are you sure? Everyone will be looking great in there. This is a luxury cruise after all.”
“Who cares.”
Most of them were people she doesn’t even know. It was only bothersome for her, so she waved her hand to urge him to wash up but Hugo grabbed her hand and smiled.
“That’s my Belze, alright. Do as you please, but don’t forget me if you need a little exercise after you eat.”
He lightly kissed the back of Belze’s hand and stood up. Belze withdrew her hand, her expression puzzled by his theatrical attitude.
After Hugo turned around nonchalantly from being rejected and headed into the shower room, Belze also let out her remaining tension. She lowered herself onto Hye-na’s back, making sounds like a lost animal.
Their two organizations had been meeting all night, and they were exhausted. Even while talking, they had to constantly watch their words in case Seo or Seok might be listening, until they resorted to turn on an erotic movie, which was quite bothersome.
The meeting lasted all night and until 8 in the morning. They sighed and wanted to close their eyes and get some rest.
“Ugh, I want to sleep.”
“After breakfast… take a quick bath and then sleep with Hugo.”
“Not that!”
Hye-na shook her head and squirmed as Belze slapped her hard on the back
“When I say sleeping, you know that’s what I mean. It’s been a while, and Hugo wants it too.”
Belze knows. She’s not oblivious to the blatant and pitiful seduction that if she needs experience, he’s willing to assist her right in bed.
“It’s not that he’s attracted to me. He just wants to help an inexperienced woman.”
Hugo doesn’t harbor any particular crush on Belze. They’re casual acquaintances, but that’s about it.
Seok once described Hugo as someone who meets a lot of women, but that’s only half the truth. Hugo was a man who made it his mission and joy to introduce the pleasures of the night to inexperienced women.
It all started with the idea that he felt sorry for women who couldn’t enjoy the pleasures of lovemaking because of incompetent men.
That’s why he doesn’t try to flirt with Hye-na, who is quick to go to bed with men; he only flirts with Belze for that reason.
“I see. You know the pleasures well enough now due to your sexual dissatisfaction, so you might deviate a bit from Hugo’s preferences.”
“It’s not like that. It’s just that I don’t want to sleep with someone I don’t have feelings for.”
It was a minor but bothering issue for Belze. Hearing this, Hye-na burst into laughter.
“You slept with Seo because he seemed to have feelings for you?”
“That was a mistake! You said you weren’t going to tease me, but why are you being malicious?”
Blushing with embarrassment, Belze tore off her thick clothing, and Hye-na raised her arms and stood up, extending her body. Belze, who had been sticking closely to her back, slipped and fell.
“Anyway, Hugo isn’t bad.”
For an inexperienced woman, he’s not a bad guy to spend the night with. He’s handsome, he’s sweet in bed, and his skills are not bad either, at least according to reviews.
Hye-na’s suggestion wasn’t entirely outrageous, but Belze still wasn’t quite interested. Belze mumbled an “ugh” and crossed her arms.
Hugo emerged from the shower, freshly dressed and drying off.
“What were you talking about?”
“Talking about you. If you’ve showered, let’s go eat. We’ll shower later.”
“I’ve told you repeatedly. It’s not Hugo, it’s Hugo Big.”
Hugo winked stylishly and pulled out the key card, leading the way. Following behind, Belze muttered softly enough for Hye-na to hear.
“Why does he keep adding ‘Big’ to his name?”
“Don’t you like the name? Try saying it backwards.”
“Big Go… Ugh, seriously!”
Despite being hit on her arm, Hye-na’s laughter pierced the ceiling.

The time was 9:10 in the morning. It’s not that early, so there should be plenty of room, but most of the people gathered in the restaurant were dressed elegantly. Since it was a luxurious cruise that not just anyone could board, there were many who put on a facade, and generally, those who dressed in casually elegant attire seemed to possess considerable wealth.
It’s easy to pick out the shabby ones amid the sparkling individuals who had come dressed up. It was for that reason that Belze and Seo recognized each other immediately, even in the spacious dining room.
Unlike the day before, Seo looked very tired today. He had dark circles under his eyes and his hair was all over the place. Even though his attire was not shabby, his exhausted appearance made him appear as someone with drained energy.
His gloomy face clearly conveyed his discontent, and it caught Belze’s attention. As much as she wanted to escape, she halted her steps. Her instincts were warning her at 80dB that ignoring this and running away would cause even bigger trouble.
“You look tired.”
It was a pretty heavy tone for a greeting. It sounded like “What did you do yesterday?” to anyone who’s heard it.
“Coming to the restaurant quite late, too.”
The sharp prongs of the fork pierced the sausage with force.
“Playing with food like that will get you sent to hell.”
“Let’s meet in hell, then.”
The sausage popped even more. His actions seemed like a joke, but they were so unsettling that a shiver ran down her spine.
On top of that, dressed in shabby raggedy pajamas and with her hair haphazardly tied up, she felt exposed and uncomfortable. She wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible.
She had never particularly felt embarrassed about her appearance before, but it seemed different when she was in front of someone she knew.
“You look tired too.”
“For what reason?”
“For what reason, indeed?”
“Why are you tired?”
The casually thrown remark had turned into a question that came back around. She found it convenient to respond with a counter-question when faced with a question she didn’t want to answer, partly because it was bothersome and also because it made it easy to divert attention.
A yawn escaped her at the wrong time, so she just answered honestly.
“Stayed up all night.”
In that moment, Belze witnessed a sight that was worth paying to se. The fork was stuck into the ceramic plate, vertically.
It was an incredible sight because even though the plate had a hole in it, it didn’t make a sound. Belze learned for the first time that a fork could be pushed into the plate like soft clay.
It seemed like magic, or perhaps some kind of hidden heating element in the fork. Either way, it was so astonishing that it made one forget about the exhaustion.
“…With them?”
“Do I have to tell you that? It’s my private life.”
“…Right, you’d want to keep it hidden. I’m sure you’ve been in secret contact with them for organizational reasons.”
“Oh, no, that’s not true, it was a date.”
Belze quickly dodged the trap question. Though exhaustion had piled up and she wasn’t entirely in her right mind, she wasn’t as easily flustered as before.
Seo’s expression darkened as she puffed out her chest to show she wasn’t going to be so easily swayed.
“Staying up all night.”
