Villain Eaten By The Hero - Chapter 61
CHAPTER 61
But going with Belze was not an easy decision.
Belze, on the other hand, didn’t move an inch away from Seo’s sight, exuding an aura that told him not to go with another woman. Whenever Seo turned his head, Belze leaned towards that direction, unsettling Seo.
In the end, unable to withstand the unspoken pressure, Seo spoke up.
“I shouldn’t have to listen only to the stories you want to tell! Why should I hear about how many people you’ve slept with or where you preferred to do it?”
“That’s right, that would be unpleasant!”
Seok, who sneaked in at this opportune moment, although with a different nuance, was not entirely wrong.
If Belze and Seo were to overcome this ordeal, there was no rule stating that Seo could only listen to the stories he wanted to hear. Being honest might lead to receiving harsh judgments or learning about a past one would rather not know.
In this trap created to sow discord among people, with the intention of causing embarrassment, why do Belze and Seo have to climb onto the stage?
Sometimes honesty is a recipe for disaster. Opening the lid without careful consideration could result in facing a terrible sight.
“…Ugh.”
Belze’s shoulders slumped for a moment at Seo’s impassioned retort. Hearing the counterargument made him understand Seo’s feelings.
But Belze straightened her shoulders again and pointed to the other side.
“Then go with Hyena. I’ll go with this side instead.”
“Why?!”
Both Hyena in the distance and Seok right beside Seo exclaimed simultaneously. It didn’t feel good to be used as a means of negotiation and coercion against one’s will.
Seok exchanged glances with Hyena, his eyes showing that he now understood the feeling of having his choice taken away. When Hyena looked at him with a pitiful gaze, there was a a shared sympathy for their current predicament evident in their eyes that seemed to say, “Our real hardship has just begun”.
When the two looked back at the place where Belze and Seo had been, no one was there.

“Are you out of your mind? Don’t you realize that if you go with Seok-hyung, everything we’ve been doing will be exposed? Were you planning on telling him where your er*genous zones are and how many times we’ve slept together?”
“You’re the one who was going to tell my colleague all about it!”
“Oh Hyena is tight-lipped!”
“We tell each other about everything!”
“Did you tell her what we did?”
“Uh… no.”
“Are you sure about that?”
The two argued as they stood in front of a new iron door, not the one they had come through. As it was a maze-type trap, there were multiple doors in the same space.
Pressing the doorbell, the mechanical voice calmly read the next question.
< Have you ever m*sturbated while thinking about someone you know? >
“What a d*sgusting question you picked! Yes!”
Ding-dong.
“Who?”
“Answer properly.”
“Of course not.”
Beep.
A loud tone rang out, signaling a lie. Seo glanced at Belze. The smirk on his face was mocking, but she had no choice but to speak the truth.
Unaware that her face had flushed slightly, Belze remained indifferent, pretending not to care.
“I have.”
Ding-dong.
Moving on to the next section, they scanned for Lotte, for controllers, for any signs of DDD or citizens to save, and then took off running.
They were warned not to stay in the same area too long, as it could lead to trouble, and every once in a while, citizens would pair up and try to find their way.
Looking at a pair that couldn’t even face each other due to some question that had come up, Belje felt a sense of camaraderie. Seo had intercepted him when he tried to avoid such questions between Hye-na and himself, but facing the questions was still uncomfortable.
Belze felt a twinge of sympathy as she observed a pair unable to look at each other, likely having just crossed a difficult question. She didn’t want Seo and Hyena to be asked these questions together, so she intercepted them, but when she actually heard the questions, she couldn’t help but feel awkward.
“It’s not you.”
“It’s not you either.”
“People are most pathetic when they’re pretentious. Who else did you imagine besides me?”
“Huh. To choose you, of all people?”
“…”
“…”
They could have continued the argument a little longer, but their lips sealed shut. The lingering sense of unease suppressed the urge to argue further.
It seemed that if another name came up, it would cause significant hurt. Especially if it was a name they both knew.
In the meantime, they ran down the next corridor, and eventually reached the next iron door.
< Who was the last person you thought of while m*sturbating? >
Considering the recent conversation and the uneasiness that still lingered, they exchanged glances. Seo was the first to speak.
“…someone I know.”
Beep.
“Damn it, can’t it be a bit more vague… A woman I know well.”
Beep.
“A woman I slept with.”
Beep.
The more Seo spoke and the beeping continued, Belze’s anxiety and tension went up and down like a seesaw.
Although it seemed more likely to be her as Seo’s options narrowed, she couldn’t be completely sure until the end. Squinting her eyes and side-eyeing Seo, each beep made his bowed head finally parallel with the ground.
“…Belze!”
Ding-dong.
The sound rang out, and Belze’s lit up.
Belze, who had been grinning mischievously with a clear face, annoyingly stopped smiling a little later.
It wasn’t a moment to be happy that Seo’s lie had been exposed. She, too, had to give an honest answer at the door. Belze gathered the courage only after kicking up a few rocks or pieces of trash rolling on the ground.
“Kim Seo.”
Ding dong.
Seo raised his head quickly in response to the sound.
“You’re embarrassing yourself by pretending.”
Trying hard not to show excitement, he managed his expression, but the signs were evident in his face and voice.
“You’re doing it too?”
So, no matter how much effort they put in, their pretense was awkwardly obvious. In the end, they swallowed their pride and moved forward, swallowing their words. In the meantime, they knocked down a couple of DDD troublemakers.
<How many times did you m*sturbate about the person in a week?>
The next question was not any lighter than the previous ones. Belze kicked the iron door, catching her breath from chasing after Seo.
“You, saying you dislike me and explicit things, but every time you’re ask a question, you seem to be thinking about dirty things every day. Let’s get this over with once and for all.”
Seo stiffened as the truth sunk in. When he narrowed his eyes and remained silent, Belze urged him on.
“Hurry up, I need to get out of here before DDD does something to the boss.”
“…….”
“There’s probably a recording of this, and we need to find it and dispose of it quickly. I’m not going to find it now because I have to find the boss, but who knows what will happen if it gets delayed.”
“…Five times…”
Ding dong.
Belze side-glanced Seo and crossed over the door, as the sound rang out.
“Do you think about naughty things every day? That’s five times more than me. Who were the other four? No. Don’t tell me it’s all me? You should be ashamed of yourself. I’m glad you didn’t go with Hyena.”
Bringing Hyena would have been a wrong choice, he thought, nailing that idea.
“Hyena likes men, not someone who likes lewd things. It’s too much, doing it five times a week, just thinking about that all day.”
“…It’s an average!”
Seo growled harshly, unable to take the teasing anymore.
<What is your favorite part of your partner’s body to make love to?
The third hurdle was lighter than the previous question, but Seo’s complexion darkened again. Belze, thinking he got entangled with quite a troublesome guy, took a deep breath and crossed her arms under her br*asts.
“We’re going to have to do it anyway, so let’s not hesitate and get it over with quickly. After all, it’s just boobs.”
“What?”
“Do you think I’m delicate? Disgusted by this kind of thing? It’s either boobs or a$s, but you’re always touching my boobs, right? I like your chest too. I don’t know why, but it’s good.”
For both men and women, the most sexualized body parts are usually the br*asts and a$s. Speaking soberly in front of the opposite s*x may sound vulgar, but in the context of their tangled relationship, it seemed more amusing to pretend to be decent.
But when she thought about it, she didn’t know why she liked his chest, even if he had muscles, it was still a flabby body.
