63 – Sweet Rewards (1)

next day.

Song Soo-yeon was sitting at the dining table in the studio, sipping tea.

I didn’t visit Jeong-gyeom this morning.

There were several reasons.

One is because I was offended by Jeong-gyeom.

I knew it was his freedom… but the image of him holding Minbom’s hand couldn’t get out of my head.

I could understand it rationally, but emotionally it was impossible.

I don’t even know why I’m being so childish.

Many times, I sulked at him like a child, and many times I regretted those moments.

If it’s a little better now, is it that he’s hiding this kind of appearance now?

Second, because I was not proud.

The repulsion from the word villain was still there.

There was only one reason.

Because Jeong-gyeom said he hates villains.

“…”

But aside from that, Song Soo-yeon could only see the advantages of this path.

Just put down a little fear.

It was a way to blow away many worries at once.

Don, Min Bom, and Jeong Gyeom.

Considering her ability, the chances of getting caught were slim.

How can I get the ability to manipulate from behind?

If you use it systematically, it may not even be noticed by the hero.

So Jeong-gyeom wouldn’t know. He doesn’t even know that she has powers.

…In conclusion, it was said that the only thing to be careful about being arrested by the hero was.

Song Soo-yeon caught her breath. It seemed possible.

So I continued to calmly and harden my heart.

****

-Titling!

The door of the store opens, and Song Soo-yeon enters.

It was just past noon.

Looking at her face, I feel relief and welcome.

He said he had a hard day the day before, and when he ran to his studio to say he wanted to rest, he was very worried.

But I did not inquire into her troubles.

‘…Can’t you just comfort me without asking?’

It’s because when I tried to ask him on the first day, I didn’t forget to ask him not to ask.

I believed that if she wanted to talk, she would speak.

It’s a concern that I can’t talk about, so I won’t say it.

“…I’m here?”

So naturally I asked,

“…yes.”

She also answered naturally.

.

.

Song Soo-yeon couldn’t concentrate on her meal and started biting at the food.

He seemed to be staring blankly at something.

“…Suyeon-ah?”

At my call, Song Soo-yeon blinks and comes to her senses.

“…yes?”

“…I’ll go in through Bob’s nose.”

Song Soo-yeon snorted at my words. However, as usual, the lively atmosphere was nowhere to be found.

At first, she was less expressive, but today she seemed even more lethargic.

It was clearly related to the troubles.

She suddenly asked me, who was eating while wondering what was going on.

“…Ah, mister. What was that yesterday?”

“What?”

“…holding hands with Bom unnie.”

“…”

I stood tall at the intrusive question.

However, Song Soo-yeon asks in a light tone. The atmosphere was different from before.

“…What, did you decide to go out?”

I responded lightly, matching her rhythm.

“….a. What are you dating?”

“…then you’re never dating?”

“…”

Straight-forward questions that are comparable to light-heartedness.

I didn’t answer for a while. Because I didn’t know the answer either.

I’m going to go out with Solas. I thought about it, but couldn’t come to a conclusion.

I believed that a natural answer would emerge over time.

– Tick.

Eventually I put the spoon down lightly.

“Why?”

Then he gives a short answer with a smile.

However, Song Su-yeon did not laugh.

He lowered his head and hid his expression, teasing him again.

“I’m not saying we’re not dating.”

I gave back the best answer I could.

“…You don’t know what people are doing. It’s because I don’t know.”

“…”

“Why is this all of a sudden-”

“-Then what about me?”

she asked abruptly. It was a tone that sounded cold enough to be grave.

“…would you like to go out with me?”

“…”

This time, he was silent for a longer period of time than during Solas.

And apart from that possibility, I became curious about the intention of the question.

Asking an unusual question must have had something to do with the reason she was sullen.

What is your concern? Was it because of the men I met at the part-time job site?

I didn’t say I was sexually harassed, but I don’t know if that’s true or not.

If that’s the case, maybe she’s asking me because she wants to know what’s on my mind.

You might be wondering if I have a dirty mind too.

I had to repeat

The reason I and Song Soo-yeon were able to get close was because I didn’t have dark feelings for her.

because he decided not to.

Song Soo-yeon, who gradually realized that, opened her heart.

“…”

It can’t be any different now. My answer to her was one.

I had an obligation to return the trust.

Since I have been silent for a long time, Song Soo-yeon asks as if wiping out.

“…you ask questions, mister. dating me-“

“-I won’t even think about it, so don’t worry.”

a little bit bold

to feel trustworthy.

I promise to say it again.

“…”

…Maybe it’s because they’ve recently formed a bond.

The words didn’t come out of my mouth as innocently as before.

Song Soo-yeon did not laugh this time either.

“…?”

Then, Song Soo-yeon puts down the spoon and gets up.

“…Suyeon-ah?”

“I’m sorry, mister.”

She packs her coat and turns around. Then he said without looking at my face.

“Actually, I have an appointment today. And, I think there will be busy things from time to time in the future.”

“…promise? with who? Have you made any friends?”

Song Soo-yeon paused like that, as if muttering, and left.

“…I don’t know. I will meet you and give you an answer.”

Watching her leave, I belatedly shouted out with a longing.

“okay…! Try to be friendly!”

****

“…Welcome.”

Song Soo-yeon crossed various rooms with various passwords and was able to meet Stella in a room deep underground.

Unlike when we met at the distribution center, Stella was overflowing with an aura.

Maybe it’s because of the villain costume that covers the whole body.

“…”

Song Soo-yeon did not answer and stepped into the room.

It was a bit dreary because there was only one light bulb that didn’t shine brightly as the light, but it was rather fortunate now.

She didn’t want to show her face to others.

The appearance is also the appearance… but as a villain, he wants to hide his identity more tightly.

Song Soo-yeon fixes her mask and hat firmly.

Then ask Stella.

“…I heard they introduced the villains of the alliance.”

Stella laughed lightly.

“…Sooyeon, they are not villains anymore, they are colleagues.”

“…anyway. Why am I alone?”

Song Soo-yeon looks around the room. It was dark and dark, but I didn’t think I’d be able to meet anyone here.

Dirty and wet It was full of broken things.

said Stella.

“Yeah, it’s obvious that Suyeon-ssi will feel burdened to meet her colleagues like that.”

“…yes?”

Stella takes out a bag lying in the corner.

“I prepared a costume. wear it You can tune it later as you like. For now, I just prepared to cover my face.”

Song Soo-yeon took out her costume.

It was a combination of black and purple tights. There were also masks that covered the face.

Song Soo-yeon held the costume for a while and looked at Stella.

Stella reads those eyes and answers.

“You don’t have to take off the clothes you’re wearing now. Just wear it over it today.”

“…..”

After thinking about it for a while, Song Soo-yeon threw off her coat and started putting on her clothes.

In any case, the top priority was not to reveal his identity.

After a little whining, with Stella’s help, Song Soo-yeon, wearing a costume, looks at her body.

It was strangely warm and comfortable.

Stella shrugged.

“Is it comfortable? It has a lot of very special features.”

“…I heard it was just prepared to cover the face.”

“But when you wear it, it feels good. We’re taking on a big newcomer like Suyeon, so this should be it.”

“…A big rookie?”

Stella’s eyes twinkled for a moment. She smiled and nodded slowly.

“…I don’t think he knows.”

Stella turned around and said, refreshing the atmosphere.

“Come on, Soo-yeon. Now if you go through that door over there, you’ll meet your comrades. Everyone is waiting.”

Stella points to the door hidden in the corner of the dark room.

“Before we meet, let me tell you some rules. first. We do our best to make each other’s dreams come true.”

“…”

Song Soo-yeon did not answer. As much as she once wanted to destroy the world, she had nothing to be afraid of… but it may change depending on which villain she meets.

Stella continued.

“Second, they are not friendly with each other. We are here to make each other’s dreams come true, not to make friends.”

Song Soo-yeon nodded. This was something she would welcome.

“…like.”

“third.”

“…”

Stella smiled.

“…Actually, that was it. But I need to decide on a villain name. You can’t go in and introduce yourself as Song Soo-yeon, can you?”

Song Soo-yeon nodded. It was natural.

“Do you have a villain name in mind?”

“….no.”

“Shall I decide?”

“…no.”

There was nothing decided, and it was the first time I had thought of it this time, but there was a name that flashed into my mind.

No other name seemed possible.

I wanted to remind myself of my purpose every time I heard it.

At least I wanted to show my will to stand up to her.

The promise to destroy Solas is put into the name.

“…Luna.”

Suyeon Song says:

“…I’ll take Luna.”
