31 – My Hero (7)

“……Cum…brother?”

Song Soo-yeon had to stare helplessly at the scene.

There was no reason to stop the name change.

Song Soo-yeon was also given a chance, and it was she who kicked it.

The title she chose was ‘Uncle’.

“……”

It was my fault, but I wanted to find someone to blame for some reason.

I wanted to get angry, and I didn’t want Minbom to call Jeonggyeom his brother.

That title had no more sense of distance than ‘Mister’. It looks more intimate and closer.

Thinking that someone could be closer to Jeong-gyeom than he was, it turned his insides upside down.

‘Why?’

Today she has asked herself this question hundreds of times.

Jeong-gyeom, who must have been lonely, is increasing his friends one by one. Why is she in such a bad mood when she is fulfilling her dream?

why don’t you like it

Did she dislike Jeong-gyeom without knowing it? I don’t want him to be happy

not. That’s absolutely not the case.

So, maybe Solas, or Minbom, doesn’t like it?

…Of course I don’t like it, but I’ve never once thought that she’s evil.

She was the first woman who wasn’t jealous of herself. He was obviously a good person.

….But still, it was painful to watch the two of them getting closer.

Jeonggyeom blushed. Song Soo-yeon wanted to judge that it was because of alcohol.

I wanted to believe that his shy smile was not all because of Minbom’s suggestion, but because of alcohol.

He laughed for a while before asking.

“…You want to let go?”

“…I want to.”

Song Soo-yeon anxiously waits for Jeong-gyeom’s answer. However, she knew that it was not a fight with many chances.

“great.”

Jeong-gyeom said soon.

“……I’m used to it.”

Minbom asks again.

“Are you used to it?”

“Oh, no. There is such a thing.”

“Um… can I let go anyway?”

Song Soo-yeon looked at Jeong-gyeom. He smiled at Minbom.

“okay. Let’s talk, Bom.”

Song Soo-yeon’s heart sank.

“Ehehehehe…okay, older brother.”

twice.

Even the idiot Song Soo-yeon could tell that strangely fresh emotions were pouring out between the two.

The name was so affectionate.

Unlike the ‘uncle’ she writes.

Also, there was a huge difference from the ‘Sooyeon’ he wrote about himself.

Song Soo-yeon’s hands began to tremble slightly.

I didn’t like it.

Whatever the reason, I didn’t like it.

She picks up a soju glass alone and passes the drink down her throat.

“….mister. One more drink for me.”

“…..Sooyeon. Why are you running so suddenly…?”

Song Soo-yeon set the glass down on the table.

A loud sound echoes through the shop.

Drinking alcohol gives you courage. I seemed to be able to bring out the words I had been wanting to say.

She looked at Minbom.

“sister. Why are you doing this to us?”

“……uh?”

Song Soo-yeon sighs briefly. I didn’t care even if Jeonggyeom made a puzzled expression.

“You don’t seem to know because you’re kind like Hogu, but do you know how unnatural it is for you to approach me like this?”

“…Soo…Soo Yeon-ah?”

“What kind of hero suddenly reveals his identity and approaches? If there is no ulterior motive, it cannot be explained by common sense.”

Minbom’s eyes also began to wander. She looked at Song Soo-yeon and Jeong-gyeom alternately with a puzzled expression.

“It’s also true that you keep flirting with Uncle. You keep pretending to be cute…!”

“…Uh…uh…? I…I’ve never…”

“I’m not doing anything, sir…”

For some reason, the words that came out of Song Soo-yeon’s mouth sounded very familiar to herself.

I was able to quickly find out why.

The words that Song Soo-yeon had been constantly hearing from the other female students, she had been saying at some point.

‘Why am I saying these things?’

For a while, I wondered.

She wanted an answer.

“What, by any chance, did the Sheikh make you watch him? At that time, you had a grudge against your job at the Hero Association?”

“No, Soo-yeon! I can’t do that!”

Minbom exclaims in surprise.

However, Song Su-yeon did not back down.

“How do I know that? You don’t even know your sister that well!”

“Why would a hero hold a grudge against a citizen…?”

“That’s it, I don’t know. I’m just talking about possibilities. My sister also speaks frankly. Being a hero isn’t about being good. You become a hero because you are strong and can subdue the villains. A hero can be as messy as a villain!”

“……”

The smile disappeared from Minbom’s face. I just couldn’t find anything to say with a puzzled look on my face.

Song Soo-yeon feels a small sense of victory. But at the same time, he was worried about Jeong-gyeom.

If Min Bom really came here to keep an eye on Jeong Gyeom, it was because he didn’t know what to do next.

“…Soo-yeon, come this way.”

At that time, Jeong-gyeom calls for Song Soo-yeon.

Song Soo-yeon hesitated for a moment, then got up and took a seat next to Jeong-gyeom.

Minbom looks even more flustered.

But Jeong-gyeom reassured her.

“Bom, calm down. I didn’t ask Su-yeon to come here because I was wary of you.”

‘Spring.’ Every time he heard that, Song Soo-yeon’s heart throbbed.

“Catch your breath, okay?”

Jeong-gyeom warmly reassured Min-bom. Minbom also nodded and began to breathe deeply.

In the meantime, Jeong-gyeom lightly patted Song Soo-yeon on the back and said,

“Sooyeon. I know that Suyeon hates heroes.”

“……..”

“And thank you for your concern. I certainly never thought of that.”

Minbom flinched.

“Bom, calm down. Because it’s okay.”

Again, Jeong-gyeom shows Min-bom his palm and comforts her.

Song Soo-yeon lowered her head a little and felt Jeong-gyeom’s warmth on her back.

“But, it’s okay. I don’t think Solas will.”

“……”

Song Soo-yeon also expected it. Jeong-gyeom would have said something like this.

“So, Suyeon-ssi, let go of your guard. Everything will be fine.”

I didn’t want to back down from here. Song Soo-yeon speaks to him like a last-ditch effort.

“…But it’s strange, isn’t it? I want to get close to you, revealing your identity and approaching you.”

“…yes. It can be. I haven’t thought about it. Thank you for letting me know. Now I just have to ask why, so calm down. OK?”

Song Soo-yeon raises her head. And I looked at Jeonggyeom.

His face had never been so close.

Song Su-yeon felt her face turn red. But I didn’t want to turn my head away, ashamed as before.

His straight eyes are remembered. They were so close that their breaths could touch each other.

Could it be because of the alcohol? Even though I was so close to him, I didn’t feel scared because I was a man.

Jeonggyeom turned his head. For Song Soo-yeon, the moment that seemed like an instant passes by.

She soon comes to her senses and looks at Minbom.

“Spring. Yes, by any chance…was there a reason?”

“……”

“I don’t think you came to see me for any strange reason. As Su-yeon said… I wonder if there was something she wanted.”

“Can you be honest with me?”

“…….”

“…Let’s become friends.”

Min Bom also seemed to have made a resolution, and she seemed to be less anxious.

She held out an empty soju glass to Jeong-gyeom. Jeong-gyeom also fills her glass without saying a word.

Minbom frowned and drank soju before opening her mouth.

“……Sooyeon is right.”

Even her short speech was natural.

“What…..?”

Minbom quickly waved his hand before Jeonggyeom misunderstood.

“Ah, no. I’m not saying that I came to watch… You know what Suyeon said earlier. The saying that a hero can be messy like a villain. I completely… agree. It’s not something I would say as a hero.”

Song Soo-yeon secretly grabs Jeong-gyeom’s arm. And from behind his shoulder, he watched Minbom.

“Actually…I know best. Heroes… the truth is that they aren’t that fair. It’s just a strong man on the right side.”

Min Bom let out a long sigh. Perhaps it was because he had less laughter, and every word he said had weight.

“You would be surprised to know how many seniors became heroes for money and fame, not for the weak.”

Song Soo-yeon snorted.

“…I don’t think you’ll be surprised.”

Minbom also laughed awkwardly at that point.

“Ahaha, yes? I see Well, if Soo-yeon was even aware of this, then there must be something wrong with us. I understand why Soo-yeon hates heroes.”

Song Soo-yeon asked if the story was over now and waved her arms to get a reaction from Jeong-gyeom, but Jeong-gyeom calmly waited for Min-bom to say.

Min Bom continued.

“It’s embarrassing, but I was the same. you’re a hypocrite While thinking this in my heart, I didn’t have the courage to act. Disappointed in the hearts of the heroes, I was the same. It’s just… when a villain comes out, they go to work. Smiling at the citizens… I didn’t do anything else.”

“…Sister, don’t keep talking. So, what is the purpose of this awkward approach?”

“…Still don’t you understand? Because Gyeom oppa was the hero I imagined.”

“……..yes?”

Song Soo-yeon felt as if a secret had been discovered. He was her own hero. no one knew But Minbom also noticed that.

“Because ordinary people who weren’t even heroes shouted out loud to Shake-senpai for the right thing. I never would have had the courage to do that.”

“…You don’t know that, Bom.”

Jeonggyeom encouraged Minbom with a serious voice. But Minbom shakes his head.

“No, brother. I really couldn’t. Haven’t you done it yet?”

“……”

“Suyeon, you did that in class yesterday, right? Heroes are just thugs. You’re right. But… I don’t want to remain a thug. I want to become a ‘real hero’. I’m not limited to just catching villains, I want to help everyone who needs a helping hand.”

true hero. It was a word I heard a lot. Song Soo-yeon anxiously glanced at Jeong-gyeom.

Minbom looks around the store and says.

“…Look at this too. Because of the poor circumstances, I set up a restaurant for others. I’ll even rent a house for you… If my older brother isn’t a hero, then what?”

Song Soo-yeon swallowed her saliva. The hand holding Jung-gyeom’s arm gradually gains strength. I held him tighter.

She spat out the question with difficulty.

“…so what? What, are you going to say bullshit about falling in love with the old man at first sight? What does it have to do with you being a hero and your sister approaching?”

“That…so that’s…”

Minbom held out her soju cup again, as if she needed courage. Jeong-gyeom calmly poured her a glass.

But this time, Song Soo-yeon also raised her glass. She, too, wanted to kill this stuffiness.

“….it’s okay?”

Jeonggyeom asks.

“Follow me, uncle.”

When she answered firmly, Jeong-gyeom shrugged and poured the glass.

Soon after both of them passed the soju, Minbom opened his mouth again.

Short and forceful, she let out a breath.

And he tells Jeong-gyeom with straight eyes.

“I. I want to be by your side.”

Song Soo-yeon’s fists crumpled arbitrarily.

“I beg your pardon?”

But this time Minbom didn’t care. In her eyes, there was only Jeong-gyeom.

“I want to learn from my brother. When I met you today, I was even more determined. I want to become the best hero in Korea. So, please guide me.”
