47 – Because it’s a nuisance, disappear (2)

I harden like Solas, listening to Song Soo-yeon brush off her anger.

A villain comes to me

I never really thought about it. No, even if I thought about it, I didn’t pay much attention.

Because the odds were slim.

Solas has already nailed it by not knowing me.

Even from the villain’s point of view, there is nothing to be gained by attacking me like this.

It’s just a matter of provoking the hero.

However, the chances are slim, not nonexistent.

Among the villains, there are so many incomprehensible seeds, so they might harm me just for fun.

I can understand why Song Soo-yeon is so hot.

As a woman who has felt the absurdity of her abilities throughout her school days, she must have thought about how dangerous villains are.

Even if the possibility is slim, she can’t help but feel anxious.

From Song Soo-yeon’s point of view, I might have felt like insensitivity.

Solas makes the same argument with caution.

“Su-yeon, the villains don’t attack people with things like this…”

“Is your sister a villain?”

“uh?”

“How can you be sure of that?”

“……”

“When I look at it, I keep forgetting it. Unnie is strong, so I don’t think she understands the feelings of ordinary people. Why are you dragging you into the unnie’s world? Don’t you know why I don’t want to get close to you?”

The hand on Minbom’s shoulder felt her tremble.

Min-Bom’s hardened expression gradually reveals her wounded heart.

Even so, Song Soo-yeon did not stop. As if brushing off what he wanted to say, he poured out his inner thoughts without hesitation.

“Can my sister protect you every single moment? It’s not like that.”

“………”

“No matter how good the intention was to kiss the uncle, it is true that the uncle was exposed to the villains. A possibility that did not exist is newly created this time. Did I say something wrong?”

Solas’s head lowered gradually. I couldn’t come up with any answer to Song Soo-yeon’s words.

My heart sinks as I see the despondent Solas.

Seeing her bend like this stimulates something inside me.

My affection for her is also affection…but Solas, who just breaks down, is too awkward for me.

As much as I was once an archenemy, it was my longing to see her like this… Now, only a bitter taste remains.

Certainly, she is tender at this time. I am still immature and clumsy.

It is like seeing a tiger cub before becoming a dignified adult.

It was hard to let go.

Eventually I open up.

“…Soo Yeon-ah-“

But right away, Song Su-yeon’s sharp eyes attack me.

“Mister, take your hands off your shoulders.”

“What?”

“Are you an idiot? You’re in danger because of my sister. Why are you still defending your sister?”

I let out a long sigh through my nose. He did not take his hand off Solas’ shoulder until the end.

I couldn’t have calculated how discouraged the inexperienced Solas would be if I let go.

Instead, I continued.

“…As Bom said, you’re overreacting. Villains don’t attack me with just this.”

It was a lie. may attack You never know what kind of psychopath there might be.

Song Soo-yeon recognizes it like a ghost.

“Don’t lie to me. You know the villains might come.”

I immediately agreed and corrected my words.

“…That means the odds are slim.”

“I hate the slightest possibility.”

“You don’t stop driving because you’re afraid of getting into a car accident. How can I live if I don’t take such a trivial risk?”

“Ha, really…”

Song Soo-yeon burst out laughing. Run one hand through your short hair. Then he stared at Solas with an expression of looking at something dirty.

“…I’m doing this because I ended up taking risks that I didn’t have to take because of her.”

“…”

Solas finally lowered his head without saying anything.

I felt like I had to put an end to this conversation. At this rate, it would only turn the wheel and hurt Solas.

said in a firm tone.

“I’ll take it though.”

“yes?”

“Whoever caused it, I’ll take it. I don’t care if the article says I’m close to Bom. I don’t want spring to push me away just because I’m afraid of this.”

“mister-“

“-If I hadn’t taken the risk, Soo-yeon.”

I stared straight at Song Soo-yeon. She should have known this too.

“…Then I didn’t open a store like this. I might not have had a chance to meet you.”

“……”

At those words, Song Soo-yeon stiffened. Her momentum diminishes.

The furrowed brow is gradually loosened. The cold eyes found warmth.

She blinked a couple of times and opened her mouth, but no words came out.

I continued.

“So stop it. because i’m fine And apologize to Bom. I don’t know if it’s someone else, but I think it’s wrong to do this to Bom who worked hard for you.”

Song Soo-yeon stands still, muttering to Solas with her momentum completely dead.

“…If you do this and you get attacked by the real villains…”

“Suyeon-ah. I said I was fine.”

She moves her feet helplessly. I came out slowly and approached Solas.

“…and then seriously injured…if something goes wrong…”

“Don’t worry too much about-”

“-Then, what about me who will be left behind?”

“……”

I froze at her question.

I thought he was talking to Solas, but he’s always been talking to me.

Song Soo-yeon’s eyes are looking at me. At first glance, I could even sense the sadness.

Instantly, a feeling of resentment towards her rises.

It is as if I cut off a sharp thorn and met the inner woman.

Song Soo-yeon carefully takes my hand and removes it from Solas’s shoulder.

Then, as if he had lost the strength to fight, he opened the store door without saying goodbye and left.

-Titling…ditling…ditling…

The bell rings hollow. I pondered Song Soo-yeon’s words for a moment.

Her question lingered in my mind for a long time.

****

As Song Su-yeon walked home, the last scene played in her head.

Originally, he only intended to curse Solas.

I was thinking of biting and shaving only her, spitting out harsh words the moment I admitted my mistake.

But Jeong-gyeom protected her, and things went wrong.

It spread like a fight between himself and Jeong-gyeom.

As a result, I couldn’t concentrate on the plan, and things went wrong.

In the end, I couldn’t even keep my composure.

Saying you’re willing to take a risk.

Saying that if I hadn’t endured it, I wouldn’t have met him either.

Those words shook her so much.

That was right. It was Jeong-gyeom who took risks for others. Song Soo-yeon was saved by that power.

he always was

confront the iljins yelling at the sheikh Sacrifice money to open a shop. Give yourself a home…

I knew that was his personality.

….But I didn’t know that it would be a heart that would not be broken even by villains.

He really didn’t seem afraid of the villains.

And at that moment, the desire to sell Solas disappeared in an instant.

I was just worried about the new information I learned.

Jeong-gyeom said he was a loner.

I was able to catch a glimpse of that habit today.

He knows that his own life depends only on himself.

….But his life was now too important to Song Soo-yeon.

She immediately stops in place.

My heart was so troubled.

For a long time, she fidgeted with the phone in her hand.

****

As much as he hid his power, he seems to be acting a little boldly without even realizing it.

And people who care about me feel anxious when they see that.

Should I act a little more like a normal person? Should I show a little more concern?

I still haven’t been able to get rid of the villain’s skin properly.

“…brother.”

Solas, sitting in front of my thoughts, wakes up.

She was looking at the car I gave her without even touching it.

She asks, unable to meet my eyes.

“…was I a nuisance?”

She seemed to feel a lot in Song Soo-yeon’s words.

Blinking helplessly, she asks me a question.

I shook my head.

“no. What is nuisance?”

“…I think Soo-yeon is right.”

“…It cannot be denied that the probability of a villain appearing has increased. But I’m afraid of that, so I don’t want to pretend to be with you.”

“…”

I spoke for her who continued to sit gloomy.

“If there is a problem, I can call you.”

“….uh?”

“Then, run like a hero in one month. I’ll hold out with a frying pan until you come.”

I smiled at her.

Solas looked at me for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Her aura also brightened. I guess it was a little comforting though.

She takes a big breath.

she looked at me and said

“…I think I know why Soo-yeon showed such an improved side at school.”

“yes?”

“…When you have an older brother, your worries become stupid. I want to lean on you.”

I was embarrassed and scratched my head. Suppress the happy feelings in your heart.

“…I want to lean on it. while doing well alone. This time, the hero ranking went up again.”

“Sometimes I think you’re forgetting something.”

“What am I?”

Solas smiled.

“…There is a 1 year age difference between me and Suyeon. But I look at her like a grown-up, and Soo-yeon looks like she’s young.”

“…”

I was at a loss for words for a moment. Thinking about it, I couldn’t deny it.

It seems that he was treating Solas much more like an adult.

Since she was the one who changed me, I also think that there was nothing I could do about it.

He was 10 years younger than the Solas I knew, but he kept thinking of me on my level.

“If I start calling you older brother too, will you make me look younger?”

Solas cracked a momentary joke.

She and I laughed quietly for a while.

After that, there is silence for a while.

We digested the silence for a while and finished our seats.

“…Bom, go in now.”

“Ah, yes.”

As she had no luggage, she got up with a teacup.

I pressed her hand gently. Warmth comes through your hands.

“I’ll clean it up.”

“…”

She slowly puts her glass down. He stands still with a serious face again, she says.

“…Brother, am I really a nuisance?”

It was a careful and thoughtful question.

If he was lying, he felt like confessing now.

I was rather surprised that a hero as brilliant and promising as Solas wasn’t frightened by such a trivial thing.

She, like the grim reaper of the villains, is asking if she can come to the store.

I spoke my mind honestly.

“It’s not a nuisance.”

“Even if there is no donation?”

“The donation doesn’t matter.”

She slowly smiled brightly. I couldn’t tell if it was a natural smile or a smile of gratitude.

Did she get the answer she wanted?

“…yes. Well, I’ll go home Don’t come out.”

“okay. Enter carefully.”

“…”

Turning around, she stood still. And then, just like that, she laughed.

I asked.

“why?”

“…Go in with caution, this is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

she looks back at me

“…something good.”

Come to think of it, was there no need to say such a thing to a hero? I’m a bit embarrassed this time around. I cleared my throat and tried to go into the kitchen with the teacups.

“brother.”

But Solas caught me again. Looking at her, Solas was already pulling out her phone.

“Come to think of it, we didn’t exchange numbers. Can you give me your number…?”

she asked shyly.

“Ah, yes.”

I answered.

The thought of exchanging numbers with Solas terrifies her heart a little. I quickly put the teacup away and wipe my hand on my thigh.

I took my cell phone out of my pocket.

“Well?”

There was one text.

And sure enough, it was Song Soo-yeon.

-‘Mister, I’m sorry.’

“…..”

I looked at the text for a moment.

It was as if a voice could be heard. You can feel how many emotions are compressed.

I can’t remember the last time she expressed her feelings so candidly.

How worried were you when you sent the text message?

I feel sorry for myself again.

“…brother?”

Then Solas called me.

“Oh, right, number.”

I put Song Soo-yeon’s text aside for a while.

The reply seemed to be done after exchanging numbers.
