52 – Because it’s a nuisance, disappear (7)

‘It was because of me?’

Song Soo-yeon is back.

‘Not Solas, me?’

She was the cause of the graffiti, and she was the starting point of this situation that Jeong-gyeom was angry with.

It wasn’t Solas who caused the nuisance. It wasn’t Solas who harmed Jung-gyeom.

Song Soo-yeon immediately looked back at Jeong-gyeom. I wanted to make an excuse for him.

“…”

But I don’t know what to say.

All words disappear in front of his frowning expression.

Only nervous feelings remain.

I’m afraid the words she said will come out of his mouth.

‘Because it’s a nuisance, disappear, Soo-yeon.’

Imagining that voice, Song Soo-yeon could not stop.

action had to be taken.

She pushes the two men out of the store.

“I am leaving.”

“What!”

The men, and even Solas, were pushed out of the store by Song Soo-yeon’s sudden action.

“Ah, Mister, wait a minute…!”

He warned Jeong-gyeom not to follow him, creating a momentary gap.

I close the door of the store and ask the question again in this situation where Jung-gyeom cannot hear.

“Me?”

The men nodded their heads in bewilderment.

“…yes.”

“Solas an… isn’t Solas-sama?”

Song Soo-yeon also changes the title for Solas. I didn’t want to bother, but it was that I might harm Jeong-gyeom for showing friendship with her.

But soon she hesitates to hear the answer.

“Oh, no. Shut up.”

I didn’t like to hear it. Especially in front of Solas. He didn’t want to receive a confirmation that he was the one who was causing trouble in front of her.

Song Soo-yeon looked up at Solas.

“…”

“…”

A subtle exchange of gazes takes place between the two. It was Song Soo-yeon who was being pushed back.

Solas remained the same, but Song Soo-yeon’s heart was broken.

“…Sir Solas. Get rid of these guys.”

“…yes.”

Solas mechanically nodded. Song Soo-yeon didn’t say anything.

And just as they are about to start floating by grabbing them by the nape of their necks, Song Soo-yeon stops them again, just like Jeong-gyeom.

“Now, wait a minute.”

“…”

“…Solas, please give me a moment to talk to these guys.”

“…time?”

“yes. Now, just a moment.”

“…It might be dangerous.”

“I’ll call you if something happens…please.”

Song Soo-yeon digested the feeling of humiliation and asked Solas. gap was needed.

Solas looked at her silently.

He didn’t respond as quickly as usual.

Soon she let go of both hands. Then, whispering quietly, he passed Song Soo-yeon and entered the store.

“…Call me if anything happens.”

-Titling! Tethering…! Tethering…!

When the shop bell rang, Song Soo-yeon looked at the men.

I feel a burning hatred towards them.

I didn’t expect this lightning strike.

Why do I keep forgetting

The world was such garbage.

There was nothing long to say. It’s not a story that can be shared right now in the first place.

Solas is said to have entered the store, but with her abilities, she should be able to hear all the conversation.

It was just a formality.

Song Soo-yeon pondered for a long time. What should I do? Is this correct?

A long time passes before them.

However, Song Soo-yeon, who has made up her mind, swallows many words and tells them.

“…Give me your number.”

“…yes?”

The dark expressions of the men are wide open.

It was Song Soo-yeon that felt so disgusting, but it was necessary for the plan that came into being in an instant.

We need to see them again. And to do that, a number was essential.

“I don’t say it twice. Give me your number.”

“Ah yes!”

They giggled with brightened faces and took out their phones.

Their number comes in on the cell phone that only had Jeong-gyeom’s contact information.

Song Soo-yeon felt like her phone was getting dirty…but again, she gritted her teeth and suppressed her emotions.

In fact, I was used to these dark feelings.

It was an emotion I had endured countless times at home and at school.

*****

Song Soo-yeon pushes the men outside, and after a while Solas enters the store.

“…What about Suyeon?”

Seeing Solas enter alone, I expressed my doubts, and Solas answered lightly.

“…I need some time to talk.”

“…”

“…it must have been because of the shock.”

I nodded.

Yes, it will come as a shock. After saying so many mean things to Solas.

Everything she said came back like a boomerang.

It’s embarrassing, and there’s no way it won’t hurt.

Solas brushed her hair for a moment before pulling off her mask.

Min Bom appeared.

She asks me, lost in thought for a while.

“…But oppa, your hand?”

“What?”

She erased the restless atmosphere from before and asked with a softer expression.

Certainly, the guilt towards me seemed to have been relieved.

“These men said it earlier. I was furious when I saw oppa and Suyeon holding hands.”

“…ah.”

I feel the need to make excuses for no reason. There is no need for her to confuse the relationship between me and Song Soo-yeon.

“I was helping fix misogyny. He blamed himself for not getting a kiss yesterday and saying that he didn’t get into a fight with you.”

“Aha.”

He added that he wanted Song Soo-yeon and Solas to become closer.

“Really. Until this morning, Soo-yeon told me that she would apologize to you.”

“…but this happened?”

“yes. and-“

“-Ah, brother?”

Solas cuts me off momentarily.

“…yes?”

She looked at me for a moment, hesitated, then spoke softly to me.

“…Suyeon doesn’t need to make excuses. Oppa will still hate me, Soo-yeon.”

“………..What?”

Solas’ momentary revelation of his true intentions shocked me.

I didn’t expect it at all.

It shakes more than the motives of those men earlier.

It was the first time I’d seen Solas show negative feelings toward anyone.

It’s so straightforward.

“……”

I do not know. In the meantime, I have seen many unexpected human sides, but this time it feels different.

Could it be because she was the one who poured her affection on everyone? Or is it because I like Song Soo-yeon as a human being?

I stopped and blinked.

Solas laughs shyly.

“Ahaha, why are you surprised, oppa…I mean, I’m a human too.”

“…”

“…Soo-yeon doesn’t like me either… especially hates being a hero.”

“…”

When you think about it, it made sense. There is nothing I can do to refute her words.

The malice that Song Soo-yeon has expressed so far is not light.

She said to reassure me of the unresponsiveness.

“don’t worry. I won’t show off. I just said it in the hope that only my brother would know.”

I stare at Solas in silence. still can’t say anything

she says.

“…Isn’t it enough if you don’t show off?”

It was like an excuse given to me who was speechless.

“…right.”

I nodded my head, but Solas continued explaining as if it were not enough.

“Even if it’s acting, there’s no problem as long as you’re close.”

I opened my mouth.

why is there no problem I hope no one is unhappy I hope we can stay together and laugh and talk.

If this is the case, isn’t one of them having a hard time?

But even this is just my greed and compulsion.

It is something I cannot force.

Solas continued.

“…even if it’s hypocrisy, if you can keep acting, you’re a good person.”

At that, I glanced up at her.

“…”

Minbom was staring at me.

The more you get to know her, the more unexpected aspects of her come out.

Solas said something like that.

Not that I was disappointed. I was just surprised.

It feels more human. Get to know her more deeply. It may feel more friendly in some parts.

…There was one confusing part.

Was she originally like this, or will she change as she grows up?

Whatever it is, her words touch my heart deeply.

Just now, it was like something he was saying to me, who was a villain.

People who knew me before the return may think I’m a hypocrite if they see me now.

In the end, I nodded at Solas’ words again this time.

Even so, the lingering lingering lingers, and finally speaks of the sloppy wish.

“…Still, I want you to be close to Suyeon.”

Solas let out a small laugh.

“…That’s right, are you still working hard…?”

****

Solas took the men away and left, and Song Soo-yeon remained in the store and looked at me with deer eyes.

She couldn’t even sit down and was restless.

“What’s wrong, sit down, Soo-yeon.”

“…mister.”

She comes to me step by step.

He started making gibberish excuses.

“This… can’t be like this… Can you believe it’s because of me? I only saw it once at a baseball field…? Are you saying that you have been stalking me since then?”

“…Actually, these are the people I met at the mart today. You must have seen it there and followed me.”

“That, though. It makes no sense to leave Solas unnie alone and be jealous of me…!”

“…Soo-yeon, don’t try to understand. If you were a normal person, you wouldn’t graffiti like this.”

I tried to reassure her, but the more I tried, the more her excuses got stronger.

“That’s not it…! They must have lied because they were afraid of Solas-sister! If I said this shit because of my sister, I would get hurt, so they pointed at me instead…!”

“…Suyeon.”

“if not…! if not…! Uh, maybe my sister made me lie like this-”

“-Song Soo-yeon.”

I call her name in a slightly strong tone.

Only then did Song Soo-yeon take two steps back and shut her mouth.

Biting my lip with anxious eyes, she looks at me pitifully.

“…ha.”

okay. Now I see. Why does Solas hate Song Soo-yeon? Even now, she’s screaming that it’s Solas’ fault.

“…Suyeon-ah, don’t try to blame Bom for anything.”

“…Sir…!”

“…I’m not blaming anyone. You are not wrong either. It was the men who did it wrong. Why are you restless and start blaming others?”

“…mister…”

“…I know you hate heroes. But I want them to show that they are trying to get along well. Fighting like this every time, I’m tired too.”

She clenched her fists and hung her head.

I think this is the first time I’ve spoken to her so directly.

I don’t know how she will react.

Shall I curse? Shall we run away? Will the road run wild?

Song Soo-yeon stopped there, turned around and left the store without saying a word.

I let out a long sigh. I guess I will need some time again.

However, a few minutes later, the sound of something squeaking is heard outside the store.

Curious about the identity of the sound, I opened the door of the store, and before I knew it, she had brought a bucket and mop from the bathroom and was wiping graffiti with red eyes.

Occasionally sniffling was a bonus.

She doesn’t even look at me.

“….I’m sorry. I… I’ll clean it all up, mister.”

“…Soo Yeon-ah.”

“…don’t say that my existence is a nuisance…”

Now that I see it, she leans heavily on me.

It’s hard to see this fact clearly because of her beautiful appearance, cold expression, and harsh tone.

Go ahead, he seems like a good person to live alone.

But Song Soo-yeon was afraid of being kicked out by me.

He even told me to fix his hatred of men, so he must be willing.

“…”

I grabbed her hand, which had already turned red because it was winter.

Song Soo-yeon looks up at me.

“…I don’t say that, Soo-yeon.”

“…”

“…come in, it won’t clean with that. Come in, let’s calm down.”

****

late night.

Song Soo-yeon was waiting for someone in the dark.

It was far from the studio.

It was a vacant lot where no one could pass by, in a way, it could be embarrassing.

There was no CCTV, and there was no moonlight.

It would have been a scary place in the past, but now she had a goal.

how long did you wait

Two men walk from a distance giggling.

“Wow, are you really here…?”

“Did you pick up the number for nothing?”

Song Soo-yeon endured the overwhelming disgust.

Really, I thought I wouldn’t be able to sleep unless I answered this question.

As they approached, Song Soo-yeon removed her back from the wall.

Before she could even open her mouth, they showed off the lightness of men.

“Wow, you look beautiful again. I am speechless.”

“Really. I think you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen.”

Song Soo-yeon did not respond to their compliments. Instead, keep asking only what you’ve been curious about.

“excuse me. Was it really because of me?”

“yes?”

“Did you graffiti in the store because of me?”

The two men blinked and exchanged glances.

“Aren’t we supposed to exchange names first?”

“…….”

When Song Soo-yeon did not answer, they snorted and answered the question first.

“Absolutely. Why are you lying there?”

Song Soo-yeon gritted it. And I posed questions to them.

“Leaving Solas alone and being jealous of me? Does that make sense?”

“No, I’m embarrassed to ask you so suddenly…?”

As one man expresses his bewilderment and question, another man prods him with an elbow.

“…Hey, hey, just answer me. what is difficult He’s the one who came to see us…”

“…that’s right.”

They look at Song Soo-yeon again. And he said it like it was natural.

“How are you jealous of Solas?”

“…yes?”

“I don’t hate Solas-sama, but to be honest…you don’t even know her face. It’s such a different world, Hero.”

Song Soo-yeon, who did not hear the answer she wanted to hear, listened blankly to them.

“I don’t care if the hero kissed someone. And a woman who is stronger than me… I hate it, kekeuk.”

They take a step closer to Song Soo-yeon.

He finished his words sparsely and began to open his fingers one by one.

“On the other hand, unlike Solas-sama, you. They are ordinary people like us. I know your face too. Pretty. At that time, it seemed that the man wasn’t even my boyfriend, so I was trying to get close.”

Song Soo-yeon finally burst into laughter. Putting it all together, this was it.

“Solas is an unbreakable hill, but I thought I could…?”

The man snapped his fingers.

“right. So when I saw them holding hands, I got annoyed.”

Song Soo-yeon blinked and asked them.

“What do you guys think about getting close to me?”

He spread his arms wide.

“But we met on a dark night like this and got to know each other?”

In an instant, he could even hear the sound of his heart.

‘I will definitely have you.’

It was there. Song Soo-yeon’s rationality suddenly broke.

I’m tired of being treated like a trophy by men like this every time.

The humiliation that I was used to and that I had to endure all the time hit me.

I am sick and tired of hearing about sexual harassment against my will.

There are too many animals in the world that rush to touch you.

It ended here.

No more.

The men approached.

“Okay then…I think I’ve answered all your questions…would you like to go out for a drink?”

“There is a house nearby. at there-“

Song Soo-yeon said.

“-We lose until we die.”

Suddenly, her hands were glowing purple.

The eyes of the two men shone the same color for an instant.

After a brief silence, one man punched the other man, of course.

-puck!

And the sound of hitting and crashing began to fill the dark sky.

-puck! puck! puck!

No talking, no screaming, just the sound of two men hitting each other.

In fact, it may just be a joke.

Song Soo-yeon looked at the scene, spat on the floor, turned her back and started to leave.

She turned on her cell phone and called Jung-gyeom.

The sound of fighting gradually fades away.

After a short wait, his voice was heard.

“Uh, Soo-yeon?”

The moment he asked me not to become a villain, like a joke, lingered in my head, but I put the memory away lightly.

Song Soo-yeon smiled a little.

“Uncle, what are you doing?”
