I Became a Villainous Character with a Limited Lifespan-Chapter 64
Episode 64
“You came.”
“Are you here?”
With about 5 minutes left until 6:30, everyone in the room stood up from their seats after seeing the person who was just entering.
“burden. “Sit down.”
Chairman Han seated his family with a single wave of his hand. He naturally went to the prepared table and sat down, looked around the large room, and frowned.
“There’s an empty seat.”
It was a gathering for the whole family, which happened only a few times a year. Chairman Han did not feel great affection for family, but he did not dislike the feeling of looking down on the people he had helped build.
That was the reason why everyone was gathered together, even the children who they normally did not want to see. It was a very meaningful day as it was a chance to see the achievements of my life, but for some reason there was an empty seat today.
“Whose seat is it?”
“Chu, I got a call that we were leaving. Something must have happened on the way. father. “I will contact you right away.”
Seunghyeon’s embarrassed mother spoke in a calm tone. Although he was a pathetic child, I thought he wouldn’t lie, so I came back without any hesitation when he said he would come.
“Tsk. anyway… .”
Although he didn’t say it for long, it was enough of a reaction to make people laugh. Seunghyeon’s mother lowered her flushed face and shook her fists on her knees.
‘Han Seunghyun. You must… .’
“What happened.”
“We’ll talk later.”
She frowned and glared at her husband who was talking to her next to her. Anyway, the people in this house were all people I didn’t like.
“Everyone has arrived.”
At that time, the door suddenly opened and a calm voice familiar to everyone filled the room. Chairman Han furrowed his brows as he looked down at the people sitting in front of the door and not even coming in, instead of sitting down quietly.
“You’re late.”
“6:29, ah. “It’s only 30 minutes now.”
Seunghyun shrugged his shoulders and said. According to what he said, it wasn’t late, but no one here knew that Chairman Han disapproved of people who came later than him.
‘Have you really gone crazy?’
‘What on earth were you thinking…? .’
Seunghyeon neatly ignored the people making noise and sat down in the empty seat. He liked that there was only one place to sit so he didn’t have to wander around.
“Tsk. done. “Sit down.”
Chairman Han made a disapproving face and clicked his tongue. Seunghyeon just put on an innocent face and ignored his parents who were glaring at him from the seat next to him.
“I know clearly that the Chairman hates being late, so why is this an unreasonable behavior?”
“It’s not too late.”
“Are you trying to play with me now?”
Taehyeop said something to Seunghyeon in a low voice, but his expression hardened at the harsh reply. However, since he could not raise his voice in Chairman Han’s presence, all he could do was glare at Seunghyeon.
‘It’s pathetic. It doesn’t deviate from expectations.’
Seunghyeon calmly adjusted his posture and sat down without even looking at Taehyeop and his mother. It was quite funny to see him go wild like that when he was alone with Seunghyeon, but then turn into a meek sheep just because there was a chairman in front of him and just watch people’s opinions.
“Now there are less than ten days left in the year. Although I already know how you spent this year… Since you will never meet each other again, shouldn’t you at least be able to see each other like this?”
Although not a single person felt comfortable in this position, applause began to come from all over as Chairman Han spoke. It was a family gathering, as it sounds, but in reality, it was an event to please Chairman Han.
“I heard that Executive Director Han is preparing something. “Is there anything we can do to help?”
“okay. As a family, we have to help each other. “If you need help, please let me know.”
People who had strangely ignored Tae-seong until recently started acting friendly and talking to him. Not long ago, they were people who were in a tug-of-war between Tae-sung and Seung-hyeon, but now they have become noticeably kinder, perhaps because they think there is no need for that. For Taeseong, this was a disgusting attitude.
‘I have no intention of hiding my true feelings.’
“It’s not common to be in a place like this, so don’t feel uncomfortable just because I’m there, and just talk about things you normally wouldn’t. It’s tiring to talk for so long. “Everyone, go eat.”
What Chairman Han knew best was that rather than a peaceful dialogue, it was no different from a scene of office politics where people judged each other and put one foot in the other.
But I had no intention of stopping him. Rather, that kind of atmosphere was what Chairman Han encouraged. As soon as the chairman sitting at the head of the table raised his spoon, the meal began on thin ice with a smiling face.
“This is my first time seeing you at a wedding. “She just got better with her face.”
“Ah, Taesung took good care of me… .”
“It seems like a match made in heaven. Well, from the first time I heard it, I thought it matched well. congratulations. really.”

It was clearly a different person from before, but what he said was so similar that it made me laugh. Seonhu smiled awkwardly and rolled his eyes.
Talking to someone who clearly disliked him was something Seonhu was not used to. Since my relationship with Tae-seong is a story between just the two of them, it wasn’t difficult to start a conversation and improve the relationship… .
“The plan for the child is…” oh. no. I asked something pointless. “It’s not going to happen the way you want.”
I’m in a situation where I’m surrounded by people who are not just uninterested, but full of malice. It was definitely difficult to know what to say.
“I’m still newlywed and I don’t really need children, so it’s okay.”
“oh. There’s nothing to say like that. “I understand everything.”
“Stop talking nonsense. you.”
When Tae-seong intervened, the person who had been lightly talking shut his mouth, but the atmosphere was still hostile to Seon-hu. No matter what the situation, the atmosphere was bound to follow the personality of the person in charge.
‘You know, but they’re just humans who have nothing good to do with each other. No matter what I say, they just smile and ignore me. I’ll try my best to stop it, but… ‘Because they’re not people who can communicate with common sense.’
Taeseong had said that too, so even though I had prepared myself on the way, I still felt a little dizzy. Moreover, in addition to the people who said harsh words with a smiling face without even trying to hide their malicious intent, Seonhu had another person that bothered him.
‘This is the first time I’ve seen it since that day… .’
Seonhu secretly glanced at Seunghyeon and hurriedly lowered his gaze for fear of being caught. The first time I saw it and the first time we ran into each other had completely different vibes both times. It was the same today.
Should I say that it feels somewhat bothersome and languid? Taeseong noticed Seonhu glancing at Seunghyeon without realizing it and lightly warned him.
“what’s the matter.”
“Oh, that’s… .”
“Just stop worrying. I don’t know what you’re thinking… “No matter what plans he had, he was so perfect at managing his image that it would be creepy in front of the chairman.”
Taeseong, who spoke in a low voice, dealt with the rude words of his family on behalf of Seonhu.
“Anyway, Seonhu would be nice. “It will be worth it to take the risk and get married.”
But they did not let go of their prey so easily. Naturally, the story turned back to Seonhu.
‘I have to get used to it too. It would be nice if we could change people like that… Even if it’s difficult, we can’t leave Taeseong alone in that gap.’
“Because Taesung is so kind to me. I was a little worried at first, but now… .”
“No, don’t say that stereotypical thing. Be honest. Now that Seunghyun has quit, the only person who will take over the group is Taesung. “For Seon-hoo, it’s like winning the lottery, right?”
“Don’t talk like that. “Do you really believe what I said about quitting?”
Another cousin scolded me. I wondered if only one or two out of ten people would accept Seunghyeon’s resignation as is.
Some people felt the limits of their enthusiasm and thought they quit, but most of them thought that there was something out there.
“Well, even if I come back with other ideas, would you accept them obediently? “I’m sure he doesn’t know that either.”
As she said that, she glanced at the seat where Seunghyun was sitting. However, the atmosphere where my eyes landed was unusual.
Taehyeop and his wife’s faces were disfigured. He had forgotten that he was in front of Chairman Han and looked like he was about to scream at any moment.
The eyes of people who sensed that atmosphere began to focus in that direction one by one. When even Chairman Han finally set his sights on them, Seunghyeon’s calm voice echoed throughout the room.
“I told you that it doesn’t matter if a company like this goes bankrupt. Was that something difficult to understand?”
For a moment, there was silence in the room. Seunghyeon couldn’t have noticed the atmosphere, but he put on an innocent face and lifted the spoon.
