I Became a Villainous Character with a Limited Lifespan-Chapter 61
Episode 61
“Are you calming down now?”
“… … .”
“drink.”
Jaeyoung stayed by Seunghyeon’s side for a long time until his tears stopped. When the tears stopped and only embarrassment and shame remained, Jaeyoung, who had gone out of the room for a moment, handed Seunghyeon a glass of water.
Seunghyeon smiled slightly at his familiar attitude, as if he were at home.
“ah… .”
Suddenly, I realized what I would look like. He gets angry and cries without telling me why, and then suddenly laughs. After all, he must seem like a strange person. Seunghyeon lowered his head again. Jaeyoung, who was looking at her, shrugged her shoulders and said.
“Is there anything left to be ashamed of now?”
“… I’m sorry.”
Seunghyun offered a belated apology. The situation he found himself in wasn’t something that could be taken lightly, even as a joke, but that wouldn’t be a reason to hurt Jaeyoung every time.
‘It’s contradictory. Even though I know… .’
“I guess I’m not in my right mind either.”
Jaeyoung looked at Seunghyeon and said. Ever since he grew up, there were always people around Jaeyoung. Most of the time she wanted to be friends with her without even trying, and even though people bothered her, she never put herself first.
If it had been anyone else, I wouldn’t have cared even if I had something to hide. If you pushed me away, I would have left as soon as you pushed me away.
“Because I don’t even notice the negative parts and only see what I want to see.”
But it was different now. I knew Seunghyun wanted to push me away, but I noticed his shaking gaze more than his pushing hand.
Even if they mocked me for seeing only what I wanted to see, there was nothing I could argue against.
“If it means just not saying that, I won’t do it. No matter what it’s called… it’s okay.”
Actually, it wasn’t a very good thing, but it was okay if I could remain by his side, even under that name. Another excuse was that she was an anxious person to be left alone. I just wanted to believe that one day, timid Seunghyeon would be able to overcome his fears.
‘I’m waiting because I’m always used to it.’
“So don’t force yourself to say something like that. anyway… “Because I don’t believe it.”
This wait is at least a wait where you know that the other person also likes you. I could wait as long as I wanted.
You can stay by my side as long as you don’t say I love you. Even though it felt contradictory, I felt fortunate.
Because that’s not difficult.
“I still have a little fever.”
‘Right now, you’re running a fever because your pheromone system is unstable, so I’ll prescribe medication, but you may still have a mild fever for a day or two.’
Seunghyeon recalled what he heard from the nurse. Since I couldn’t tell the truth, I came up with a reasonably plausible excuse.
“… I feel tired. “I don’t have a high fever, so this is okay.”
“Then I guess I should rest better. When is the lady coming?”
“tomorrow… .”
“There was nothing for a sick person to eat.”
“I have no appetite… it’s okay.”
Jaeyoung stood up after looking at Seunghyeon for a moment as he shook his head. Then he rolled up her sleeves and said,
“The more you do that, the better you should eat. Wait. “It would be nice to sleep a little more.”
“Where…” .”
Jaeyoung left the room before Seunghyeon finished speaking. Seunghyun looked at the closed door for a moment and then covered his head with the blanket.
I feel embarrassed and wonder if this is right… I was happy. The fact that Jaeyoung came to see him and said that he wouldn’t let go.
In a small human relationship, Jaeyoung was the only person who knew only himself. He is a person who does not know much about ‘Han Seung-hyun’ but only knows and judges Seung-hyun as he is now.
A person who does not doubt Seunghyeon, feels sorry for him, or feels sorry for him. It really meant a lot to Seunghyun to have at least one person like that.
Jaeyoung was like that. She says she thinks she’s crazy. In fact, Seunghyun was in no position to say anything.
I liked being together so much right now that I didn’t want to think rationally. To the point where I don’t want to think deeply.
“… “In this case, just do it.”
If I was going to become a selfish person anyway, would I just end up being a completely selfish person? Seunghyun thought for a moment and shook his head.
There is definite power in names. Even if we stay the same as before. The moment you name that feeling and say it out loud, the moment that defines your relationship. The feelings would become more affectionate and deeper.
That was Seunghyun’s last line, so I didn’t want to hear those words. Seunghyeon stood up with a heavy body and trembled from the chill he felt for a moment. Seunghyeon, who had found his indoor cardigan and put it on, slowly took his steps.
“… “What do you do?”
I thought about it earlier, but I came here several times and it seemed very homely and comfortable. When I glanced at Jaeyoung standing in front of the induction cooker, Jaeyoung stepped aside slightly and showed me what he was doing.
“The more you lose your appetite, the more you have to eat well. “There is no home without rice.”
What was in the pot was white rice that was being turned into porridge. I know how to do this too. Seunghyeon looked at what was in the pot with curious eyes.
“Doesn’t it look delicious?”
Attitude as if nothing had happened. Seunghyeon decided to join in with that attitude.
“The white porridge all tastes the same, right?”
“I don’t know. “I have the know-how for this too.”
As if something had happened, the two returned as usual. Jaeyoung said as he sat Seunghyeon down in front of the table.
“Wait just a moment. “I’ll make sure you never think like that again.”
Jaeyoung joked and went back to the pot. Seunghyeon looked at the scene blankly and said.
“I guess you really like cooking.”
“Just sometimes… Rather than saying I like cooking itself, I tend to like doing it.”
It started out as fun, but it felt better to give it to others rather than eat it myself. Jaeyoung stirred the almost finished porridge once and took out the bowl.
“It doesn’t look like my house, it looks like Joo Jae-young’s house.”
“what… “It may not necessarily be your home alone.”
“haha.”
Well, the house is big enough to live alone. Seunghyeon suddenly thought about what it would be like to live with Jaeyoung.
“… “It’s almost like coming to visit on a fake day.”
Is it still the same now? Seunghyun smiled slightly. They were almost like housemates, except they didn’t sleep.
“It’s hot, so be careful when eating.”
Jaeyoung placed a bowl of porridge in front of Seunghyeon. The taste of the rice porridge is all there, but it felt a little strange to think that Jaeyoung’s sincerity was put into it.
“… Thank you.”
“What are you doing with something like this?”
It wasn’t just a thank you for the food. Jaeyoung also noticed the meaning behind it, but he pretended not to notice and shrugged his shoulders.
“I will eat well.”

Seunghyeon scooped up a spoonful of steaming porridge and put it in his mouth. He thought he had no appetite, but when something came into his mouth, he felt like he wanted to keep eating.
“it is delicious?”
Seunghyun nodded silently. The peaceful evening passed like that. Starting tomorrow, every day would be no different from usual.

“You have quite a few cards. “I wasn’t using it at all.”
“It’s better to aim for a certain moment than to act hastily.”
“Is now that time?”
Seokhyung didn’t respond to Hyukjae’s words and kept his mouth shut. It’s definitely time. Rather, wouldn’t it be more accurate to say that it is a unique opportunity?
Seunghyeon’s physical condition was a top secret. He had mentioned that his health was not good, but Hyukjae knew that Seunghyeon only needed temporary medical care.
“… “It’s a time you can’t miss.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter to me. But won’t you get scolded by Director Han for this later?”
“I don’t think there will be any liability, but that’s okay. “If I was afraid of that, I wouldn’t have started in the first place.”
Seokhyung still had a calm face. Thinking about Seunghyeon’s condition these days, it was clear that he hated it so much that he would quit studying.
I’ve never done anything that Seunghyun doesn’t like. Now I am convinced that doing this is for Seunghyeon’s benefit.
“it’s okay.”
“Well, if you’re that sure. Well, that’s what I think too. It makes no sense for a director to step down so easily. “It’s not just me, everyone thinks that way?”
“… … .”
“There are a lot of people who are betting on when he will return. If you use this… “Well, is that day your return date?”
“… I can’t give you a definite answer as to whether you will return. However, it is clearly not what the director wants for Executive Director Han Tae-seong to easily succeed HJ.”
Hyukjae also nodded at Seokhyung’s words. Seokhyung was a person who knew Han Seunghyun better than anyone else. He sometimes gives me goosebumps.
“I just do my job for the director. “No matter what the outcome, he was the one who told me time and time again how stupid it would be to quit without even trying.”
Even as he spoke of his admiration, there was no change in expression on Seokhyeong’s face. I’ll have to visit you sometime soon. Seokhyung continued his conversation with Hyukjae, thinking about the address in her pocket.
