Villain Eaten By The Hero - Chapter 69
CHAPTER 69
┕ Who’s the victim here? _142.382
┕ I wish he’s going to get married with Belze … _127.744
┕ Is that guy above a troll again… those lunatics who pushed Ravi and Belze together must be excited, I saw them posting links to fanfiction websites… _159.477
┕ That’s what I’m talking about… The homepage is a real chaos… A post with 8,000,000 views has grown to just 2,000,000 views in one night… _182.612
┕ Did you think we were trolls? You guys are so happy, right? _159.477
┕ I pushed it as a confinement fetish perverted genre, but the reality is a romantic comedy ^-T _182.612
┕ Are you answering seriously… you’ve gone crazy… Why did you even involve a hero and a villain in the first place?? _159.477
┕ 1. They have good visuals. 2. If it was a fictional relationship, it would be a hit. 3. Belze can’t sue me. _182.612
┕ Even if she can’t sue, she can get the address, you know. _154.669
┕ ?? _142.382
┕ ?? _182.612
┕ Going to find someone by getting their address is not a big deal for a villain. No fear. Doesn’t even listen to the circumstances, just curses one-sidedly ^^ _154.669
┕ ? Why would you care about the villain’s circumstances _163.362
┕ Are you the villain? Seriously, this is ridiculousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s right that Belze instigated and Seo made a brief mistake, right? Whatㅋㅋㅋ _174.520
┕ Kim Seo is a hero instigating without ethics when it comes to Belze^^ _154.669
┕ At least there are no overly crossing lines here _154.669
┕ Be careful what you say anywhere if you don’t want your computer to fly^^ _154.669
┕ Wow, are you threatening me now??? _128.361
┕ Is the villain going around managing comments? Seems like we have a disciple of Cheonha here; _109.122
At this point, everyone seemed to be careful not to cross the line. She distanced herself from the keyboard and let out a sigh.
After the broadcast, Cheonha was in complete chaos. The organization members, who used to applaud when the cruise scandal spread, began to murmur uncomfortably behind the scenes. Considering Seo’s statement that he wanted to sleep with Belze, it made sense.
The internal discussions within the organization were more forgiving than the discussions outside. They wondered how Belze, who used to confidently say she would win if it was Seo, ended up being entangled with Seo. Some even teased Belze, who failed to keep her word.
However, in some quarters, there was concern that Belze might have defected and negotiated with the Hero Disaster Headquarters.
It’s not just heroes and citizens who fall in love and go rogue. It happens to villains all the time, too.
However, Belze did not get swept away by the atmosphere of teasing her or the atmosphere of worrying about defection.
[Has Belze left?]
[Yes. But she left in a hurry, so she only took a little cash and a card.]
[I see.]
[Boss, please think about it one more time….]
[I refuse.]
The mechanical sound of the boss echoed abruptly.
[I can’t easily accept the fact that she was secretly interacting with that guy.]
[But Boss, there’s a reason for that….]
[There were plenty of opportunities to speak and tell me.]
Steam escaped from the mask covering the boss’s face. In response to the sharp words, It was one thing to get a kick out of being beaten, but when the opponent was a boss, the threat to her life was overwhelming.
[But she didn’t. Then, she’ll have to pay the price.]
Regardless of the atmosphere within Cheonha, there was no way Belze could get swept away by it.
Belze had been expelled from the organization.
*
“Five hundred won, one hundred won, two hundred won… Seven hundred won.”
Belze counted one five-hundred-won coin and two one-hundred-won coins in her palm, one by one. A total of seven hundred won. This was her entire current fortune.
It was a belated excuse, but Belze never dreamed that things would turn out like this. She was prepared to be embarrassed for a long time after misspeaking on a live broadcast, and she even worried that Seo might be demoted.
But being expelled? I never thought the boss would kick me out!
She thought he’d say something about how she was doing, how hard it was, or that she should try to visit Seo again, but the boss told her to leave in an inhuman, machine-like voice.
[Why didn’t you tell me such an important thing like you were getting along with him?]
Under that cold command, Belze left their hideout with only a small amount of cash and the card that Boss reluctantly gave as severance pay. Although she was expelled, at that moment, it felt like her soul was unjustly wronged and she left without saying a word of apology.
She can’t deny that she had a sense of rebellion, like, why would she beg when she was told to leave? No, she left with exactly that sentiment. Adding to the feeling that the boss was the one in the wrong, she left with the mindset that he should come back and beg her not to leave anymore.
When she left, she had no fear, even though there may have been anger. There was enough money on the borrowed card to live comfortably for a while, and Belze was a capable villain.
“If only the card doesn’t get messed up, I could buy everything with this….”
With wistful eyes, she scanned the cup ramen shelf at the convenience store up and down. No matter how much she looked, there was no cup of ramen that she could buy for 700 won.
The situation got messed up after she mentioned the card breaking, she had jinxed it. Belze, who accidentally broke the card, was in trouble.
The broken card couldn’t be fixed. Since it was a card made in someone else’s name, she couldn’t get a reissue. All she had at first was 210,000 won, and even that vanished as 150,000 won went towards the one-night hotel stay.
“I have no money and nowhere to earn…!”
With only 60,000 won left in her pocket, she knocked on the doors of every organization she could think of, but she was completely rejected. Her previous records of fooling DDD and the history of sleeping with Seo had a negative effect.
Even as a villain, credibility was important in society. Few people were willing to accept someone who had betrayed once.
Finding another job was not easy either. Even if she tried to do a simple part-time job, the world required a resident registration number. As Belze couldn’t reveal her resident registration number for fear of being chased by the police, it was difficult for her to find a job.
To save as much money as possible, she spent the night in a PC room, but the 60,000 won quickly disappeared. At the point when the amount was reduced to 6,000 won, she had to leave the PC room.
Afraid of being attacked by heroes or other organizations, she spent two nights in a shop that could shelter her from the wind, staying awake with bloodshot eyes. It had been two days since she last ate a meal.
Her hungry stomach cried out, but she couldn’t recklessly spend the remaining 700 won. Belze wandered around the convenience store, clutching the coins.
After a while, a convenience store employee approached with a mop.
“Excuse me.”
“Why? I did not do anything, why?”
“A lot of water spilled, could you please stand aside for a moment?”
“Oh… sure.”
“The umbrellas are over there.”
The employee’s tone was not mocking or condescending, and he genuinely meant it. He was merely directing her, a soaking wet customer, to where the umbrellas were.
However, Belze felt pitifully exposed by his words, making her current situation clear. Her face flushed red. Despite being lightheaded due to lack of sleep, she still hadn’t forgotten the embarrassment.
It had been raining outside for a while. After getting wet in the rain for fifteen minutes, Belze was drenched as if submerged in water. The wind hitting her wet body was particularly chilly and painful.
Unable to endure it, she sought shelter from the rain in the convenience store, but she didn’t even have money to buy an umbrella, let alone the instant noodles she wanted.
Feeling embarrassed and hot in the face, she couldn’t hold back the feeling of shame that made her want to cry right away, unlike the persistent exhaustion and lightheadedness in her head.
Nevertheless, she clenched her thighs with all her might, wiped away the tears, and squeezed out the water from her clothes before awkwardly wandering around the cup ramen corner. Anyway, it was late at night, and she was hungry.
At that moment, another person approached and spoke.
“What are you doing here?”
The rival she never wanted to meet looked down at her obliquely.
There were a few raindrops on Seo’s shoulder. While his hair was flattened by moisture, other parts were still pristine. Anyone with an umbrella would be in the same situation.
Belze hunched her shoulders, attempting to hide her wet body. It wasn’t that she thought she could hide it that way, but it was a natural gesture that came out.
She wasn’t concerned about her underwear or skin showing beneath her wet clothes. She was too tired to entertain such thoughts, and her appearance was nothing short of pitiful. Describing her as looking odd when wet was an understatement; it was more accurate to say she looked miserable.
Having endured the rain for twenty minutes, Belze, who had become thoroughly drenched, wasn’t in the mood for empty pleasantries.
She tried to coil her dripping wet hair and avoided Seo’s gaze.
“I came to buy snacks.”
“You don’t live around here.”
“Do only locals go to the convenience store in this neighborhood?”
“That’s not it, but standing in the convenience store all wet looks suspicious, right? The umbrellas are over there.”
The umbrella topic again.
Belze suppressed the urge to cry.
Whether thinking of Seo as an enemy or considering the strange relationship they formed over a few nights, she didn’t want to reveal a vulnerable side. The former would hurt her pride, and the latter would make her current situation seem pitiful, and she didn’t like that.
Deliberately straightening her chest and shoulders, Belze raised her voice as if to not make her sniffles audible.
“I forgot my card and cash, so I only have a thousand won. My subordinate will come pick me up later. Take care of your business and go.”
Upon hearing this, Seo simply said, ‘Ah, okay’ and casually grabbed some imported beer and snacks. She thought it was kind of him not to pry further.
He carried the items to the counter with one hand, then turned back to the cup ramen shelf. Unexpectedly, a banknote suddenly intruded into Belze’s field of vision as she kept her head down.
“I’ll lend it to you.”
It was a green 10,000 won bill. The moment Belze was about to ask why, the subtle sound of her stomach growling coincided perfectly.
In an attempt to maintain the shape of her lips and cheeks, Belze’s cheek puffed up ever so slightly due to the effort she put into her mouth.
