I Became a Villain’s Hero

54 – Greedy (2)

“…roughly organized.”

Sheikh, who came after an interview with reporters, entered a temporary tent where six heroes gathered.

1st place in the hero ranking. Sheik.

When he returned as the de facto leader of the heroes, all the heroes’ attention was focused on him.

But Shake sits in his chair without saying a word.

There was no notice. I just put my forehead on my forehead for a while and catch my breath.

Solas watched them silently. She also had nothing to say.

There was only silence in the tent. A siren sounded in the distance.

everyone knew that they lost to the villains.

There were many casualties, and the villains were not captured. The problem was the sudden joining of the late villain ‘Stingshot’.

Knowing that it will not end here, a darker atmosphere may be lingering around.

I wouldn’t be surprised if various villains joined hands in the future.

The Sheikh, who had paused for a while, spoke quietly.

“I rest today. Good job everyone.”

Everyone nodded and rose from their seats.

exchange greetings with each other

Inside the temporary tent, Solas was ranked next to Sheikh.

Currently ranked 15th.

However, as the youngest in her career, she bowed her head to the other heroes.

“thank you for your effort.”

Solas, who erased her smile to match the mood, finished her greetings and was about to leave the tent, when Sheikh called her.

“…Solas.”

Solas also turns to Sheikh.

“Yes, senior?”

“You worked really hard today.”

“…thank you.”

After a short conversation, Solas started walking again.

As soon as they leave the temporary tent, the shutters of the reporters explode.

As soon as Solas sees them, he bends over and apologizes.

“…sorry. I will do better.”

****

Solas enters a luxury hotel prepared by the Hero Association.

After greeting the many heroes guarding the building, Solas gets on the elevator guided by the guide.

As the elevator went up, Solas asked.

“Did you remove the electronics from my room?”

“Yes, I left it out!”

Solas smiled softly at the nervous guide.

“Don’t be so nervous. Is there any reason not to?”

At that, the guide’s expression softened. He seemed to be moved by kindness.

“…yes.”

Solas tells her.

“This is also a relationship, don’t you have any questions? If there is anything I can answer, I will answer.”

The startled receptionist gave an awkward laugh for a while, then fell silent, then stuttered and asked a question at the end.

“Hey, do you have a boyfriend?”

“Ahaha, no. I’ve never had any I mean it.”

As Solas answered personal questions, the guide’s attitude became more relaxed.

she continued to ask.

“…Then… Solas-sama, by any chance, why are the electronics in the room…”

Solas shrugs.

“Because someone might eavesdrop or voyeur.”

“Ahh.”

The guide nodded at the answer, but Solas explained another reason.

“…And there are times when it emits electromagnetic waves without even realizing it, and that’s because the machines are broken.”

“…That, that must be uncomfortable.”

“sure. It’s very uncomfortable. Like now.”

“…..?”

“…If electromagnetic waves explode from my body, maybe this elevator will break down too? Even the safety devices.”

“…….yes?”

The guide looks up at Solas.

“…”

Solas was already staring at the guide. erase the smile

They exchange glances with each other. A heavy, awkward silence falls suddenly.

The elevator kept going higher and higher.

The guide’s expression hardened in silence.

Her eyes anxiously check the number of floors rising.

“…So… Solas-sama?”

“…”

The elevator had already reached the 40th floor.

Solas was speechless.

“…Solas-sama, I’m… scared…”

The guide confessed with difficulty.

-Ding!

And the elevator arrives at the target location.

52nd floor.

The door opens.

Soft music plays.

Solas tapped the guide on the nose and smiled broadly.

“It’s a joke.”

Only then did the guide let out a big sigh of relief and smiled along with Solas.

Solas casually put her arms around her and said.

“In the first place, the elevator doesn’t crash just because the circuit is broken by electromagnetic waves, right? And if anything happens, I’ll rescue you, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Yes… yes, of course.”

The receptionist was soon distracted by the celebrity’s skinship.

The giddy experience of being friends with Solas intoxicated her.

The tension from earlier was nowhere to be found.

Soon after, the guide carefully folded his arms in front of Solas’ room and bowed his head in greeting.

“Solas. Have a good night then.”

Solas bowed toward her as well.

“Thank you. Please feel free to say hello next time you see me.”

Receive the card key and open the door.

Solas waved her hand to the end. The smile on his face didn’t seem to disappear.

-thud. clap.

And the visit is closed.

Solas is left alone.

His face also turned cold. Her mood also subsides.

“…..under.”

She entered the room slowly.

It was a spacious and tidy room. Numerous fruits, luxurious wine, and even a card welcoming her visit were prepared.

Solas picks up the card, checks the text for a moment, then puts it aside.

– Tick.

Then I look around the room for a while.

He stretched out his hand and started emitting electromagnetic waves.

Break any wiretapping or voyeur device.

Then draw the curtains and cover the windows.

Only then could Solas sigh and remove the mask.

She returns to Minbom.

“…ha.”

Minbom lifted her luggage, which was carefully placed in the corner of the room.

In it, she finds a cigarette. It was a lightly scented cigarette.

He put the cigarette on the desk next to him and took off his hero suit and threw it away.

I didn’t have to change into other clothes.

Throwing off her clothes, she picks up her cigarette pack and moves again.

So I lay down on the bed in my underwear.

I felt the cold, stiff feel of the hotel blanket.

He opened the cigarette pack, took out a cigarette, twisted it, and lit the end with his finger.

Then, he inhaled deeply the smoke.

“…Whoa…”

Dark gray smoke then billows out of her mouth.

She closed her eyes and recalled what had happened today.

The eyes of countless people who could not be saved were staring at her.

“…Whoa.”

The more she does, the more she falls for the scent of cigarettes.

The cold feel of the blanket also calmed her down.

Shaking off cigarette ash in one hand, she continued to smoke.

After lighting three cigarettes in a row, she headed to the bathroom.

Throw all ashes and butts into the toilet bowl and flush.

Turn on the bathroom fan, take off your clothes, and take a shower.

After washing herself, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe, laid back on the bed, and turned on her cell phone.

Check out numerous articles.

And the comments below it.

She smiled as she looked at the compliments directed at her.

It wasn’t a warm smile that others saw, but a cold smile with only one corner of the mouth raised.

For a moment, he confirmed his love for himself and enjoyed the feeling of being superior to others.

This is what I was doing all this in the first place.

Even enduring the guilt of the people he couldn’t save.

“…”

In the midst of such silence, a child came to mind.

A child who was swept out to sea by the rapids caused by Liquid.

I felt a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of)

can’t cry

Because she is Solas.

“…no.”

she murmurs.

It is not Solas now. It’s Minbom.

Maybe it’s okay to cry

The boundaries gradually disappear.

Gradually loses Minbom.

Solas, who has to hide her pain, becomes more natural, and Minbom becomes awkward.

She was looking at Jeong-gyeom’s number before she knew it.

I couldn’t tell when I closed the article and opened the phone book.

I’m just contemplating whether or not to touch the green call button.

…I didn’t feel a great need for him.

It’s not like it wouldn’t be possible without him.

I just want to talk to him lightheartedly.

Not as Solas, but as Minbom.

****

Getting close to him in the first place was all out of curiosity.

At that time, Minbom was festering from within.

In addition to various stresses, I felt that I was losing myself.

Minbom continued to disappear. Solas took his place.

Can’t show weakness. You can’t even show fear. Of course, you shouldn’t be struggling.

A hero was anything like that.

But I couldn’t tell anyone about this.

Rather, people loved Solas more.

Even my parents did.

Her parents supported her forever, saying how proud they were of her shining figure.

It was impossible for them to become Minbom and deliver the dark news that there was a child they couldn’t save today.

At first, she hesitated.

It seemed that if he revealed Minbom instead of Solas to anyone, he would lose all the fame he had built up to this point.

Even the moment the hero mask covering her face was lowered, Minbom was living as Solas before she knew it.

Then Jeong-gyeom appeared.

From the moment I saw him, I felt a strange attraction.

It wasn’t love at first sight. But I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

It can be said that deja vu has occurred.

I saw him for the first time at the Hero Association, but it felt like meeting an old acquaintance.

Then, he caused an unprecedented incident in the association.

He was angry with the Sheikh and confronted him.

Minbom knew. That the Sheikh was putting unrecognized pressure on him.

The Sheikh looked down at him from above, sternly exuding ferocious energy.

But Jeong-gyeom did not back down.

This fact also aroused her curiosity.

In the days that followed, the incident lingered in her mind.

Minbom, whose emotions were festering due to the stress of being a hero, stopped feeling interested in anything at some point. Just managing the stress was daunting.

Like that, she was only curious about that man. Even when it was Solas and when it was Minbom.

Eventually, she took action.

This is an official request from the Association. He said he would listen to a controversial man who came to visit a few days ago.

I really want to help students who are being bullied.

So she was dispatched to school and met Song Soo-yeon.

…Minbom was able to finish his evaluation of Song Sooyeon right away.

It was a rough year.

From what I observed, there was nothing I couldn’t understand, as women bullied Song Soo-yeon and men tried to approach her, but I didn’t want to understand.

In the first place, he wasn’t sent to school because he was curious about Song Soo-yeon.

Rather, since Song Soo-yeon is like this, I became more curious about a man named Jeong-gyeom.

Does he even care for this kind of pettiness?

Yelling at the Sheikh?

What was the familiarity he felt towards him then? Why does interest in him keep rising?

I had to meet him, but he seemed to know.

In the end, Minbom achieved his goal.

I was able to get to know Jeong-gyeom.

He was more than I could have imagined.

just knew

It was fundamentally different from the acting self.

He was a true adult.

He really wanted to do all these good things.

You can tell just by looking at the store.

I could feel that I wanted to help others.

…greed squirmed. It was an impulse that I was not even aware of.

I wanted to get to know him a little more.

I wanted to get to know you a little more.

I wanted to lean on him.

I wanted to show the weak side of Min Bom that I had always hidden.

I wanted to take a break.

The fact that he was a loner also played a part. Even if he revealed what he saw, he didn’t seem to be talking anywhere. I didn’t even feel like I could tell.

His only acquaintance was Song Soo-yeon. Like Jung-gyeom, she was also a loner.

So Min Bom approached Jeong Gyeom. It was also lighthearted.

At the thought of being able to rest by his side, letting go of Solas, she acted more and more impulsively.

In the end, on the day a girl exploded and died in front of her eyes, Minbom collapsed in front of him.

But even when he showed himself in trouble, he silently hugged her and patted him on the back endlessly.

Even if you showed weakness, you didn’t evaluate it. I wasn’t even disappointed.

He returned the same affection as before.

And that was a surprisingly great comfort to Minbom.

It was to the point of shedding more tears.

The day I came back from being hugged by him, I was surprised at how relieved I felt.

She fell into that sense of security. Slowly, like clothes getting wet in drizzle.

It was only Jeong-gyeom who affectionately called her by her first name, saying ‘Spring’.

Everyone else called her Solas.

Before she knew it, when she became Minbom, she was only looking at her phone.

I also waited for the role of ‘Solas’ to end. To talk to Jeonggyeom.

In the end, she had to live two lives, a hero and an ordinary person, and the balance given by the character Jeong-gyeom was very well suited.

“…”

Minbom looks at Jeonggyeom’s number and sighs.

I finally put my phone away.

I decide not to call today.

The sense of security he gave was nice, but I decided not to use it too much.

I just had to hold on today. I didn’t want to cling to Jeonggyeom.

I wasn’t relying on him that much.

who are you?

It’s Solas.

Solas superior to others.

There was no need to lean on such a loner.

After deciding not to talk to him on the phone, Minbom was hungry for a cigarette.

He decides to burn just one more cigarette.

“…Huh.”

Before she knew it, she lit a cigarette and sat with her arms outstretched on the wide bed, enjoying the privileges of this position.
