I Became a Villainous Character with a Limited Lifespan-Chapter 38

“… “It’s delicious.”

“Don’t you think there will be no need to go out and eat again from now on?”

Seunghyeon took his eyes off his food and looked at Jaeyoung. His eyes were full of interest.

“Why in the future? “Your aunt will be coming out tomorrow.”

Of course, Seung-hyeon’s tone of confidence that he would be in the future was a little funny, so he laughed and Jae-young laughed.

“I think you like it.”

Although Seunghyeon thought that he was talking about food, he felt sad because Jaeyoung’s question seemed to have a different meaning.

“… It’s not bad. surely.”

Seunghyeon gave an ambiguous answer and started rolling the noodles with a fork again. There was clearly a plate in front of him, but Jaeyoung was not paying much attention to the food and was looking at Seunghyeon.

If you care, you will lose. If you care, you lose. Seunghyeon thought so and moved his hand steadfastly. How long had passed? Jaeyoung’s hand began to move slowly.

Although it was so slow that it was hard to tell whether he was eating or not, Seunghyun continued eating, feeling fortunate that everyone was looking away from him for a moment.

“I guess I’m quite free.”

“Once again. “Are you saying that now?”

“As time goes by, it becomes more real. “I’m also jealous.”

“What is there to be jealous of? “Isn’t Han Seung-hyun spending every day like everyone’s wannabe these days?”

“… … .”

On the outside, it seems that way. There is a lot of money to spend, and time is limited. When Seunghyeon did not answer, Jaeyoung continued speaking.

“Well, isn’t this a place like that? When you enter the competition, you have to run endlessly, high risk, high return… “But in fact, as you can see just by looking at former director Han, it is a place where you can live a much more stable life than most people, regardless of whether you leave or are kicked out.”

“… … .”

“Of course, I am the luckiest one out of all of them.”

“We are ready to receive business without a fight.”

“haha.”

“I definitely don’t have a fiancé… .”

Seunghyun, who had been carrying on a meaningless conversation, suddenly closed his mouth. There was no need for that, but because I knew something, it actually felt like my feet were numb.

“why. It’s common for both of us to not have a fiancé at this age… ah.”

The chaebol family in this novel had a setting that was not much different from the world of chaebols we usually think of.

In particular, marriage is a kind of contract and transaction. Getting engaged or married at a young age was depicted as a common occurrence. However, despite that, most of the main characters in the novel got engaged or got married late in life.

Did you think that Joo Jo-yeon’s age being too young would not fit the mood of the novel? She had that thought once while reading.

Well, I didn’t really pay much attention to it since I didn’t really need to know the author’s intention, but in any case, each of the main characters had their own story about missing the right age for marriage.

First, in the case of Tae-seong, the main public figure, the problem was that he did not find a marriage partner that caught Chairman Han’s attention because it was public knowledge that he was an illegitimate son.

Chairman Han was a utilitarian to his core. He waited for the right moment, thinking that someday, no matter how unfortunate, someone would reach out to him.

In the case of Seonhu, the main beast, it was the opposite. Although he was very enthusiastic, he was the youngest omega and loved by the family.

My parents’ theory was that they would rather have me marry for love or live alone than let me marry into a random family. In the end, we ended up having an arranged marriage.

Jaeyoung had hoped that the seat next to Seonhu would be his, and he believed that it would happen someday, so he persevered, rejecting all marriage talks that came his way.

‘If it had been Han Jae-young, it wouldn’t have been possible. With that personality… ‘I would have been fired from the family register a long time ago.’

Well, it may be a better life than living in a poor home with a very temperamental family, but it is better to grow up in a harmonious and wealthy family.

Seunghyun, after thinking about something useless for a moment, continued to look back on the contents of the original work. The main couple and Jaeyoung were like that, and the reason why he, that is, ‘Han Seunghyun’, didn’t get married even when he was approaching 30… .

“You brought up something pointless.”

“no. It’s all in the past anyway. “It also happened several years ago.”

In fact, there was no need for an apology as there was no harm to Seunghyeon at the moment, but Jaeyoung apologized as if he had made a mistake.

The reason why Han Seung-hyun did not get married. Although the Passionate Alpha is not a very good deal in the marriage market, he is a man with a background that more than makes up for his characteristics.

In any case, he was an alpha, a young man who was definitely guaranteed a position as director of the group. Unlike Tae-seong, both his father and mother were descendants of powerful families, and even if he were to be pushed out of the succession competition, Chairman Han had only two alpha grandchildren, so he would at least inherit a stable position.

If you can build that kind of connection with HJ, being a passionate alpha isn’t a huge flaw that makes you reluctant to marry her. That’s why Han Seung-hyun also got engaged as soon as he graduated from college.

“Even if you’re fiancé… “I’ve only had a few conversations with you, so it’s like I’m a stranger who only knows your face and name.”

However, the engagement did not last long for some reason. Being a passionate alpha wasn’t a big flaw, but having the experience of breaking off an engagement with a passionate alpha once lowered Seunghyeon’s level in the marriage market.

‘The reason may be that my pride was hurt.’

“There is no need to dwell on the past.”

Seunghyeon briefly dismissed the situation and went on to eat. As the atmosphere seemed to have calmed down a bit, I glanced at Jaeyoung. It felt a bit strange to see someone who was always so relaxed being embarrassed.

“It’s not a good thing to hold on to it for too long.”

I didn’t like the awkward atmosphere, and since it was a story I didn’t know much about, I didn’t want to continue it for too long. Seunghyun started to blurt out his words randomly to end this story.

“I didn’t do it because I wanted to anyway, and if it had gone well, I wouldn’t have been as free as I am now. Moving around as you please and living alone must be difficult for a married person. For example… .”

“For example?”

“I would never have had the chance to spend time leisurely with Joo Jae-young like I do now. No, a married person can’t go to a place like that in the first place, so we wouldn’t have ever met.”

When I thought about it that way, it seemed like a good thing. To live comfortably, being alone is the best.

“Well, that kind of suits Han Seung-hyun.”

“What?”

“Of course, it is not desirable for someone with a spouse to go to such a place, but… “There are many people who don’t care about that.”

Seunghyun frowned slightly after learning something he didn’t really want to know. Jaeyoung, who didn’t know how he understood the meaning of the distortion, hurriedly added a word.

“Of course, I’m not saying I’m that kind of person.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

It was a stupid thing to say, but thanks to that, the awkward atmosphere returned to its original state. Seunghyun laughed and said.

“Actually, as I said last time, I don’t really remember that day, so I don’t know if I should count it as a fact.”

Going to a gay bar on a whim was the most courageous thing I did since becoming Han Seung-hyun, but because I didn’t think about my body’s changed drinking capacity and health, I couldn’t remember much of it.

“How much do you remember?”

Is it because of my mood that it seems somehow annoying? Seunghyun looked down at his almost empty plate for a moment and then opened his mouth.
