Villain Eaten By The Hero - Chapter 94

94

The moment she realized what darkness she was imagining, Belze stood up, clutching the small cardboard box. She had to erase the thought before it grew into something more.

Before facing the confirmed facts, it was an unknown situation. She couldn’t resist opening it, even though she knew she would be faced with dire consequences if she did.

Belze immediately called her subordinates.

“Yikes!”

The driver let out a guttural scream and slammed on the brakes. A large bike suddenly appeared in front of the van speeding down the road.

The van skidded to a halt just before it collided with the bike. When the tires stopped screeching against the ground, a man got off the bike and tapped roughly on the side window.

“Get out.”

In addition to the man who got off the bike, three more bikes surrounded the van. The driver and the woman in the passenger seat, realizing that they were facing the notorious gang, both turned to look at Seo.

Faced with the demanding gaze, Seo opened the car door and pointed at the two with his finger.

“I’ll go up for a moment. I probably won’t do anything unnecessary, but lock the door and hold on.”

They nodded obediently, despite the threat of being attacked if he left for a moment. Since it was Seo’s words, they locked the door as soon as he left and remained calm inside the car.

As Seo had predicted, the three bikes surrounded the van, but they didn’t rashly attack, just remained vigilant around. The man who first appeared led as if escorting Seo.

He led them to an eight-story mall. He didn’t say anything else, but Seo immediately kicked the ground and leapt into the air.

After hitting the wall twice, he landed on the roof and saw what he expected The mark of Cheonha. It was easy to imagine what would happen next.

Belze, with cherry blossom-colored hair fluttering, greeted Seo in a casual outfit with a familiar white jacket.

“Where are you going?”

Belze asked in a deliberately friendly tone, despite the blunt expression on Seo’s face. It only takes one bad thing to ruin a face. You couldn’t tell everything from a look.

“The dorm.”

“Why all of a sudden? You have a perfectly good home.”

“I’ve been banned from traveling anywhere other than the dorm and the Hero Disaster Headquarter for the duration of my suspension.”

His posture wasn’t stiff, his tone wasn’t sarcastic, but there was still a harsh edge to it.

It wasn’t welcoming, but it wasn’t as angry as she had worried. However, it was more confusing, so Belze anxiously examined his face and approached.

“When are you coming out?”

“When I capture you and offer you up.”

It was a creepy joke. When Belze tried to brush it off with a laugh, Seo nailed it coldly.

“I’m not kidding.”

“…….”

The reaction was icy enough to stop the laughter. Belze flinched as if stung by his words.

“So if you don’t want to get caught by me, go now.”

He leaned down slightly, his face close to hers. Belze’s body instinctively jerked back a little, but she pulled herself forward, her eyes narrowing.

“Is that why you threw the book away?”

She could understand if he said he threw away the books and scrapbooks with a reason.

If it was because he had to move into a dorm because of the disciplinary action from the Hero Disaster Headquarters. If it was because he had to get rid of his house and books in a hurry to avoid being caught with such items.

If he was distant now because someone was still monitoring him, she could understand it all.

She’d always known that Seo was a hero, so that was something she could understand. It wasn’t as if he had thrown away the books right in front of her eyes.

“If that’s the case, you should have told me…”

While trying to suggest they could solve it together, with a moment of trying to grasp the reins of the depressed mood, Seo cut her off sharply.

“Have you been following me?”

In a strangely accusing tone, Belze twisted her lips in a grim line.

“I waited in front of your house for four days! I went looking for you every day, but you weren’t there. I told myself that you would come back… If you were going to the dormitory, you should have at least told me something.”

I waited for you for four days. I didn’t just walk away, I was going to come back for you, and I kept my promise. 

Belze grumbled at the bitterness in those two sentences.

When she complained like this, Seo either fiercely counterattacked or yielded. However, this time, he just nodded quietly with an indifferent face.

“…I see. You might not have known since I didn’t say anything.”

The words that followed were neither apologies nor excuses that he had no choice.

“We’re done.”

It was a weak declaration. It wasn’t spoken with the force of a lingering anger, nor calm like someone who had prepared for a long time.

It was short and quiet, like someone saying something unpleasant. Passing by like a fleeting moment, if the surroundings were a little noisy, it wouldn’t be heard, Belze was momentarily unable to process it.

“Lies.”

“Since it never started, saying it’s over is a bit strange, but it’s not like you didn’t see this coming.”

“You’re lying, don’t bluff. If you could have ended it, you wouldn’t have started it, and now you’ve grown cold toward me?”

Belzez denied what she heard, shooting a sharp look at Seo.

Yeah, no matter how much she thought about it, it didn’t make sense. They’d been hero and villain since the beginning, and even then he’d been drawn to her, even though he’d told himself over and over again that he shouldn’t, and there was no way he’d lose his affection for her just because she did not stay and had gone back to her old place. It was clear that he was getting angry and bluffing because Belze didn’t stay.

“Why? Did you expect me to cling to you even after being rejected several times? I wanted to live with you.”

“But….”

“You’re the one who rejected it.”

With a blunt statement, it felt like her body was being cut off. With a blunt statement, it felt like her body was being cut off. Belze felt the chilly sensation she experienced when falling into a cold, large lake in the middle of winter.

The bone-chilling cold that penetrated to the core, combined with the steam rising near her heart, twisted her insides. It was difficult to endure the unwavering gaze of Seo, even though she hadn’t done anything wrong.

“You’re saying it’s my fault? Then become a villain! That would have been better!”

Belze bellowed out the words she’d been holding back and grabbed Seo by the collar. Seo returned the gesture.

“Is that what you wanted to do, lure me into your world?”

“No! It might have been good, but no! Are you saying that what I said was a lie?”

“If not, just leave me alone. It’s not a big deal.”

“What?”

“It’s not a big deal if you had your heart set on something and then give up because it didn’t work out, because the circumstances aren’t right. That’s all. Forget it. I made a mistake from the beginning. I liked you incorrectly.”

The hand gripping her collar and the tip of Seo’s eyes trembled. Finally, anger rose on Seo’s face.

“I wasn’t supposed to like a girl like you…… who liked me in moderation.”

“Kim Seo.”

“I shouldn’t have liked someone I couldn’t keep around, who can’t be by my side.”

“Don’t say something you’ll regret.”

“I knew it would turn out like this from the beginning…”

Belze vaguely understood what “this” meant. The ending of a movie, seen along with the harsh reality of numerous tragedies, appeared in her mind like a panorama.

The hero, who had fallen in love with Hye-na, was still blaming himself for the destruction of his family and friends. 

The villain, who fell in love and changed, almost lost his spouse in an air strike by the organization he worked for. 

The characters in the movie parted ways because they couldn’t give up their positions.

There are some things in the world that are unavoidable. For example, birds fly in the sky, animals live on the ground, and fish swim beneath the surface of the water.

Falling in love doesn’t change that fact. Mermaids can’t live in the land, and everyone has a place that suits them. Just like Belze being a villain and Seo being a hero.
