Villain Eaten By The Hero - Chapter 70
CHAPTER 70
“…”
If she were to protect her pride, she should have promptly declined, but she couldn’t. It had been two days since she catnapped on the stairs, and since she had eaten anything.
Belze accepted the 10,000 won bill that Seo handed over with her index and thumb.
Still trying to save face, she only picked a cup ramen when Seo walked out of the convenience store, put on his umbrella, and left. It was still raining outside.
She waited until Seo’s figure completely disappeared.
Ten thousand won was a significant amount. With that money, she was able to buy a spicy cup ramen to warm her insides, some triangular kimbap to fill her stomach, and a bottle of water to quench her thirst.
Even after that, she still had 8,000 won left. There was enough for another meal tomorrow. Belze carefully folded the remaining money and stowed it in her bag. She was fortunate that Seo had been generous.
Belze hastily poured hot water into the cup ramen and took a seat at a table outside the convenience store. Even though it was still raining, her w*t body made her aware of the staff’s watchful eyes.
The damp air outside was cold and painful, and the only comfort was the heat of the triangular kimbap and cup noodles that had been heated in the microwave for 40 seconds.
She finished her meal in a flash, but she had nowhere to go. Eventually, Belize sat down at the makeshift table in front of the convenience store, hunching her body. She couldn’t block the wind, but at least she could avoid the rain.
It seemed okay to lie down here. If something happened, the staff would probably call for help.
In the continuous rain, her w*t clothes didn’t dry. The cold and dampness weighed heavily on her.
She fervently wished it hadn’t rained. At this rate, she might have to beg a complete stranger to let her sleep in a bed.
Meanwhile, about forty minutes had passed since she poured hot water into the cup ramen. The cold and w*t weather made her feel numb, and she didn’t even have the heart to complain about how things had turned out.
Just when she thought she was going to collapse, a fluffy cloth was draped over her w*t back. The large shadow of an umbrella invaded the space under the parasol.
“If you don’t have anywhere else to go, you should say so.”
“I’m not saying there isn’t.”
It was Seo again. Earlier, she’d been bluffing, but now she was cold and exhaustion, andher voice was subdued. Unable to lift herself, Belze couldn’t see Seo’s expression.
“You’ve been here for forty minutes.”
Please don’t make a pitiful expression.
Belze mumbled with her frozen fist barely moving.
“It’s just taking… they’re taking a while…”
Even her tongue was curling into a ball now, and she still couldn’t muster up the courage to go to Seo first. She couldn’t even utter the simple words to borrow money.
As she was about to press her forehead against the table in despair, Seo abruptly lifted her.
“Come with me.”
His words were more of a directive than an invitation as he effortlessly hoisted Belze onto his shoulder with one hand. Belze sprawled helplessly without being able to resist, her feet unable to find solid ground.
It was her limit.
*
She hadn’t eaten or slept well, but it was the cold that had taken its toll on her. Unable to dry her w*t body, the cold and dampness pressed heavily on Belze.
Her w*t hair stuck to her face, hiding her expression, but that made her look even more pitiful.
“Snap out of it.”
Shaking Belze’s cheek gently, Seo tried to bring her back to her senses. Belze blinked her eyes, barely able to gather her thoughts. She had no idea how she’d gotten here. She didn’t even know whose house she was in.
She only knew that she had entered indoors solely through Seo’s coercion.
Belze reacced out with her stiffening hand and touched Seo. The air was warm, but the nearby warmth had disappeared. She still didn’t want to lose the warmth Seo provided.
“Don’t mess with me when I’m in this state.”
Despite having no strength to raise her voice, she suddenly felt the urge to say that it was strange for Seo to undress her like this.
However, she couldn’t say anything. She didn’t have the strength left.
Meanwhile, Seo was struggling to remove Belze’s clothes, which were soaked and difficult to take off. Shoes, w*t socks, pants, upper garments…
Her upper garment and bra were challenging to remove, so he tore them apart like a receipt. Belze, n*ked in an instant, shivering from the cold and tension.
‘In the end, it turned out like this’, she thought briefly. When she closed her eyes and opened them again, warm water was pouring over her, gently soothing her entire body.
When she came to her senses, Seo, who was holding her gently, was carefully washing her. He paid attention to adjusting the water temperature and pressure to make sure the warm water reached every part of her body.
He washed her body thoroughly, even drying her hair. It wasn’t a skillful touch, but Seo’s careful and persistent hands were quite affectionate.
The problem was that as her body warmed up, she regained her senses, and as her consciousness returned, so did her embarrassment.
There’s a difference between undressing in bed and undressing in the living room, between being n*ked while being held and being washed in the bathroom.
The belated embarrassment made her fidget her legs, but Seo’s embrace was firm.
“Hey, let me.”
“Stay still, it’s bothering me.”
“I can do this alone.”
“You can’t do it alone. You’re about to collapse.”
Moreover, Seo scolded Belze sharply, saying she was interrupting. It was embarrassing.
“Alone…”
But she couldn’t win against Seo with her strength, and her eyes closed under the warm water. Slowly, her eyelids grew heavy.
When she opened her eyes again, Seo’s soundly sleeping face was right in front of her and the early morning sunlight was warming the bed.
The large room with a clean look and a large window letting in the morning sun. A soft bed and Seo, who was still dozing off. And from the bedding, from her, and even from her clothes, came a pleasant scent that felt like a dream. However, Belze woke up to the reality that this was not a dream.
This was real. Seo was lying on the same bed, and she was wearing a large short-sleeved T-shirt.
Her immaculately dry hair smelled good, and the t-shirt she wore, which hung down like a dress, smelled like Seo. When she moved her legs, she was thankful she was still wearing underwear.
But still, everything felt dreamlike. She tapped Seo’s body to make the reality clearer. Having slept deeply and feeling refreshed, she was filled with energy.
“Wake up. It’s morning. Or is it dawn? No, it’s morning. What time is it? I don’t have a watch. Are you awake?”
“Uh… What are you doing? Why are you here… Oh, right. Yeah. Did you sleep well?”
Seo mumbled languidly as he sat up, rubbing his eyes. Whether he hadn’t slept well or his usual round eyes were thinner than usual.
Belze understood roughly what had happened the day before when she saw him so casually accepting her. The memories were sparse.
Seo had lent her money, then came back later, brought her home, washed her, dressed her in new clothes, and put her to sleep.
But she had one question.
“What did you do while I was asleep…? “
It wasn’t an accusatory tone, but rather a tone of curiosity about what had happened last night. However, the underlying meaning didn’t change.
Seo’s face, which had been as fluffy as a sun-dried quilt, scrunched up.
“Why do you ask? Worried I might have taken advantage of you?”
He snapped back, pushing himself up off the bed. His tone was unkind as she returned his kindness with suspicion.
“I brought someone who had nowhere to go, undressed them, and washed them.”
On the other hand, Belze lay on the bed, clutching a large pillow to her. It bothered her that her n*pples were clearly visible through the thin clothes.
“I just washed you because I was worried you might catch a cold.”
She knew, and there was no malice in Seo’s touch as he explored every inch of her body. However, he still had touched and seen her n*ked, wiped her dry, and dressed her. It felt strange to say that nothing had happened.
“So you didn’t do anything? I was lying there defenseless, you slept next to me, and you didn’t really touch me?”
She stared at him, urging him to tell the truth. Seo lowered his eyes slightly.
“I might have hugged you in my sleep.”
Yes, that was possible. They were lying side by side. However, it sounded more like an intentional action rather than it being unintentional.
“Just hugged?”
“I might have squeezed between your legs.”
“Just that?”
“I also pinched your cheek a little bit…….”
As she pressed further, Seo confessed one thing after another. However, none of it seemed provocative to Belze.
She rolled her body left and right until she reached Seo’s legs.
“That’s it? You could have touched, explored, kissed, spread my legs, touched my feet, and more. You could have done all that.”
“Would you have done it?”
Without saying anything, she tucked her chin into the large pillow. At that fake, shy gesture, Seo’s eyelids fluttered open.
Without hesitation, he pulled the pillow down and captured Belze’s lips. Bending down, he lowered his upper body, carefully kissing her lips, which had become chapped after several days of hardship.
It was light, as if pecking with his beak, and repeated several times. After lightly touching her teeth with his tongue, Seo raised his head.
“If it was okay, you should have said so sooner.”
Belze met his gaze and smiled. His face, which had brightened up since the morning, looked good.
Despite being kicked out by the boss and having her resumes rejected one after another, it was comforting to have someone who treated her well, even if only for a moment.
In these times, quick-witted Seo always understood what Belze wanted to say. In other words, she wasn’t blaming him.
Belze doesn’t seriously consider morality when dealing with Seo. In reverse circumstances, if Belze had been in Seo’s place, she’d touch his face, chest, stomach, and legs, so Seo should reciprocate to maintain balance.
“No, if you’re in bad condition, I’ll hit you.”
Seo chuckled at her response, and the two of them shared a light moment, breaking the tension.
