29 – My Hero (5)

“……What are you talking about? Why do I love Suyeon? I like you as a person, not love at all.”

If I could only listen to my inner thoughts, this hardened heart would be relieved.

This way, I couldn’t tell if Jeong-gyeom was lying or telling the truth.

I just wanted to believe it was a lie. The reason was unknown.

However, since Jung-gyeom didn’t love him, his heart felt empty in an instant.

It was as if something that had always been there, supporting her chest, had disappeared.

Jeonggyeom asks.

“Sooyeon is just asking me to like her as a friend from now on. Right, Soo-yeon?”

Song Soo-yeon reacted belatedly to Jeong-gyeom’s question. After hearing that I am not in love, my mind keeps selling elsewhere.

“…..yes? Oh that…”

“…….”

“……”

Song Soo-yeon looked at Solas and Jeong-gyeom alternately. As much as they were waiting for an answer, they speak weakly.

“…..yes. That’s what I meant.”

“Right?”

Contrary to Song Soo-yeon’s mood, the warm air of reconciliation fills the store. Jeonggyeom also said with a softer expression.

“To begin with, Su-yeon is afraid of men. Because she is so beautiful, she gets hurt a lot. You can’t even hurt me.”

“……”

As he continued to talk, Song Soo-yeon’s heart grew heavier and heavier. Even though it was a story that had already been repeated dozens of times, the impact of those sentences was different from before.

I wanted to know why you said you didn’t love me.

Song Soo-yeon reflected on the kindness he had given her.

cook for free save me from the idiots He storms into the Hero Association and gets angry with the Sheik. solve school violence It also solves parental problems. give away the house Salary was also provided.

Could I have done all of this without love?

not. Certainly, Jeong-gyeom will love himself.

But… why the hell did he say no? with that serious expression.

shy? Or because Solas is in front?

Whatever it was, her emotions were jumbled and confused.

“….I see. I also wondered if everything I’ve done so far was out of love.”

Solas says.

“Ahaha… no.”

Jeong-gyeom endlessly denied love. Every time that happened, Song Soo-yeon’s heart seemed to fall deeper and deeper.

“Then why is Jung-gyeom doing such good deeds?”

“……”

Again, Jung-gyeom looked at Solas. It was already the second. He gave Solas such a look.

“It’s a secret.”

“It was self-satisfying.”

When Jeong-gyeom tried to hide something meaningful from Solas, saying it was a secret, Song Soo-yeon immediately exposed it. Even Song Soo-yeon herself did not know why. But it was as certain as the rejection.

“……..”

As Jeong-gyeom looks at him, Song Soo-yeon says.

“…there’s nothing to hide, right?”

“Is that so?”

-match!

At that time, Solas claps loudly and draws attention.

“I! I made up my mind!”

Jeong-gyeom and Song Soo-yeon looked at her.

“…What do you think?”

“I want to get closer with Jeong-gyeom, no, with Jeong-gyeom and Soo-yeon!”

“…..yes?”

Song Soo-yeon was awkward. I didn’t like it.

Solas keeps getting close with Jeong-gyeom, and I keep feeling rejected. The alarm that something is dangerous keeps ringing.

This complex mind kept annoying me. My chest was stuffy.

“…I don’t like it, I.”

Song Soo-yeon said.

Solas answers in a hurt voice.

“…..uh…? really….?”

“…….”

“…even if I reconciled, he helped me…”

“…It seems like you’re plotting something, doesn’t it?”

“…What’s your plan?”

Song Soo-yeon looked at Jeong-gyeom and Solas alternately. I can’t pinpoint anything, but I hoped that the relationship between the two would not go any further.

“…..Soo-yeon, don’t be like that.”

Jeonggyeom also intervenes. Song Soo-yeon seemed like he would understand her feelings.

“….. Mister, you know I hate heroes…”

Talk to him like a herd. But Jeong-gyeom did not back down.

“……I told you that there are true heroes that cannot be hated.”

“……….yes….?”

Song Soo-yeon had to doubt her own ears. I didn’t know he would say such a thing in front of a hero.

Song Soo-yeon’s eyes turned to Solas.

“……So Solas-sister is the true hero?”

“…I don’t know, but isn’t it better to get to know each other?”

“……”

Jeong-gyeom’s head turned to Solas. Song Soo-yeon kept losing his gaze to Solas so easily. Complaints continued to rise.

“By the way, how do we get to know each other?”

Jeonggyeom smiled softly and asked Solas. Although it was a question that would not give an exact answer if asked, Solas confidently asked as if there was a way.

“How about a drink?”

“…..yes?”

“…Are you drinking?”

“Yes, alcohol! Shake-senpai said that there is nothing better than drinking to be close friends! Isn’t Soo-yeon an adult too?”

Jeonggyeom tilted his head.

“…do you like alcohol?”

“no? In fact, I never drank it.”

“But why are you drinking…”

“It’s also a commemoration of Jeong-gyeom and Su-yeon’s reconciliation… I’ve also heard that it’s good to become close… isn’t it nice to be able to shake off your inner feelings?”

‘Put out the inside’.

Song Soo-yeon pondered over those words.

Yeah, I thought there was a way. It is to make Jeong-gyeom speak his true mind by giving him a drink.

In fact, it is to make him say in front of Solas that he loved him.

I was also curious about alcohol. What the hell was that, did his mother have to fall into the path of addiction. What is it that makes people so broken?

I had the idea to try it someday. Maybe that opportunity came sooner.

There was no resentment about alcohol. It’s been a long time since I’ve already put down my affection for my mother.

“Isn’t it too early?”

Despite Jung-gyeom’s words, Solas was not shaken.

“You don’t have to eat only at night, do you?”

“…That’s true, but…Ah. So what about work? Isn’t it still office hours?”

“I didn’t come here during office hours! I got the day off because I arrested the villain this morning!”

“….okay?”

“…Do you…don’t like it…?”

After Jeong-gyeom hesitated until the end, Solas carefully asked.

“….no. Actually, I like alcohol.”

Jeonggyeom replied. Song Soo-yeon crumpled her expression again.

“…do you like alcohol?”

“yes. Ah… is Suyeon a little like that because of her mother…?”

Jeonggyeom asked carefully. However, Song Soo-yeon spoke her honest heart.

“no. Rather, I was curious. It’s just…that the man likes to drink…Now I know…”

“…That’s because I didn’t have a chance to drink.”

“……..”

Jeonggyeom shrugged.

“…..Then, shall we have a drink after a long time? Are you okay, Soo-yeon?”

“…..yes. I want to try it. that….”

“…?”

“…It’s also an opportunity to learn how to drink from an adult.”

Jeonggyeom laughed out loud at those words. Solas also covered her mouth and giggled.

“An adult is an adult.”

Jeonggyeom laughed a lot and then said.

Solas also calms down and asks.

“No, Soo-yeon. Why do you keep calling Jung-gyeom uncle? The age difference doesn’t seem too small.”

“……Your sister doesn’t know.”

“It’s disappointing to do that again. Whoops. By the way, Jung-gyeom is so old…”

“I am 23 years old.”

“You are two years older than me. I am 21 years old.”

Song Soo-yeon feels awkward next to her again. It’s only a difference in age, but I felt strangely lost to Solas, who had a smaller age gap.

Jeonggyeom stood up from his seat.

“Then wait. Prepare a snack.”

“Oh, then I’ll buy you a drink.”

Solas happened as well.

Jeonggyeom’s eyes scanned Solas up and down. She was still wearing her hero suit.

“…with that outfit?”

“Oh, of course you have to change.”

Jeonggyeom’s eyes widened. He asks incredulously.

“……Are you coming back in plain clothes?”

“yes. Should it be? why?”

Song Soo-yeon continued to find no gap between them. The combination of the two fit so tightly. Among these three, Song Soo-yeon feels an uneasy loneliness.

“…No… I was surprised to hear that you were seeing Hero-sama’s plain clothes…”

“I want to be close, but I can’t keep covering my face. ah!”

Solas lets out a shriek as if remembering something, then brings her hand to her mouth.

Then he grabbed the mask that was covering his nose and mouth and pulled it down.

“…uh.”

With Jeong-gyeom’s exclamation, a refreshing beauty revealed her face. There was no shortage anywhere. Like the atmosphere, it was a bright and cute impression.

“We’ll get to know each other now, but I’ll also tell you my real name! Can’t we go somewhere and talk again?”

“yes?”

“I am Min Bom! It’s an outsider!”

Song Soo-yeon’s heart throbbed once again at the word “foreign child”. Why… even his name is a foreigner like Jeong-gyeom?

Despite her dislike, Solas has no hesitation in reducing the distance.

“Are you Minbom?”

“…t…it’s unusual, isn’t it?”

Song Soo-yeon looked at Jeong-gyeom’s expression.

“……Oh…”

Jeong-gyeom wasn’t even looking at Song Soo-yeon anymore.

“…no. Spring…Spring…I was surprised that they matched so well.”

His expression brightened. It was a shy smile that Song Soo-yeon had never seen before.

“….ah.”

Song Soo-yeon grabbed her chest. It felt like something had just stabbed her in the chest.
