I Became a Villainous Character with a Limited Lifespan-Chapter 68

“If it’s someone I know.”

Our eyes met late, but as expected, he was strangely moving away from Seunghyun. Seunghyun got goosebumps at the sight of him thinking separately between the Han Seunghyun he knew and the person in front of him.

“The situation given to the director… … Even though I know it’s so harsh that it wouldn’t be strange if I didn’t behave the same way as before. “The director I knew and the person you are now are so different that I keep having these ridiculous thoughts.”

Seunghyeon, who unknowingly avoided Seokhyung’s gaze, took a step back. Seokhyung took a step closer and looked at Seunghyeon. Seunghyeon thought that avoiding his eyes would look even weirder, so he raised his head with difficulty. Seokhyung’s eyes were trembling as he faced me.

“please… … .”

“… … .”

“I know it’s ridiculous, but it’s like I’m someone else… … .”

“… … !!”

It was a shock that made my heart sink. Seunghyeon shouldn’t act awkwardly, but he couldn’t even hide his shaking eyes and eventually lowered his head again.

“I know it’s nonsense… … “I don’t know why you even say that.”

Although his voice was not trembling, it was a voice he was not confident in hearing. As people have changed, it is true that their actions have also changed, but Seunghyun thought that Seokhyung would not find his changes strange, even though other people might not.

It is not strange for someone who has been sentenced to be terminally ill to experience a change of heart. In his own way, he was imitating ‘Han Seung-hyeon’ in the novel.

Besides, since I had been avoiding Seokhyung for so long, I thought it would be difficult for him to notice anything strange.

“Even though I know… … Otherwise, I don’t understand. For the first few days, I thought it might be possible. “Director Han must have been very shocked, so he needs some time to gather his thoughts.”

At first I thought it might be possible. The Seunghyeon that Seokhyung knew was a strong person, but at the same time, he was also a person with a dangerous side to the point that it would not be strange if he broke down at any time.

Still, I thought it would come back. I thought that although I might lose motivation right now, the spark wouldn’t go out until I used up everything I had.

That’s why I didn’t stop Seunghyun from quitting his job. After that day, Seunghyeon became strange, as if he had become a different person.

He was a person who thought vacations were a luxury. It was strange to see someone who didn’t even know how to play walking around, and I couldn’t understand why they were doing nothing for such a long period of time.

But there was something even more unconvincing than those circumstances. What is more strange than the space where Seunghyun is currently standing or the clothes that Seunghyun is currently wearing.

“… … “The director has never looked at me like that.”

Seunghyeon’s gaze towards Seokhyung was always dry. It is said that he cared more about Seokhyeong than anyone else, but even so, Seokhyeong was nothing more than a tool to him.

I never felt bad about that. She was rather willing. The fact that it is a helpful tool and that it has a usefulness that will stick with you.

But now Seunghyeon saw Seokhyung as a person. Ironically, that was annoying. Seunghyeon had a different face than in the past, so much so that he thought he might have been the one who couldn’t come to his senses after Seunghyeon was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

‘How can I only notice this now?’

It’s clearly a person with the same face and same body. You act like you remember things from the past and know yourself well.

“Even though I know it’s nonsense… … “The director doesn’t feel like a director.”

“… … So, did you come all this way to say such nonsense? “What do you want to hear?”

“… … .”

“I became a different person. I didn’t know this secretary was interested in novels. “How about going into a new field?”

Seunghyeon deliberately pushed Seokhyung away with an aggressive tone. His heart was beating crazy fast. I knew that the person who knew Han Seung-hyun best was Seok-hyung. He didn’t know that he would deduce such a ridiculous situation.

Fortunately, he is also unable to rationally acknowledge this supernatural phenomenon. Seunghyun played him while thinking about how he would have responded if he were Han Seunghyun.

“It must be quite boring working under Jeong Hyeok-jae. Should I arrange for another job?”

“… … .”

“If playing detective is what you want to do, why not do it somewhere else? “I’m not free enough to listen to your useless novels.”

I thought I had come to understand a bit about Han Seung-hyun due to recent events, but there were limitations to the novel’s description of him as just a typical villain.

How did he behave other than getting angry and saying and doing mean things? How can I act like Han Seung-hyun in front of this man who knows him best in the world?

“I guess this news hasn’t reached your source yet, but now even if I want to go back to HJ, there’s no way to do so. “I spoke to the chairman again today.”

“… … .”

“Unless the Chairman gets dementia, there will never be a position for me in the company again.”

“Isn’t the position meaningless to the director anyway?”

I know that, but why are you acting like a person who still hasn’t let go of his regrets? Seunghyeon frowned and glared at Seokhyung. What on earth is he thinking?

‘In the novel, Han Seung-hyun’s ending is… … .’

Until the moment of his death, he ran to his feet and harassed Taesung to interfere with his work. Even though he knew he was going to die anyway… … .

“… … “You are planning something with Jeong Hyeok-jae.”

Only then did Seunghyeon realize why Seokhyung had come to see him with Hyukjae. It wasn’t just something to stimulate. He was a man who knew Han Seung-hyun eerily well.

In the novel, Han Seung-hyun also did not want to be guaranteed a position. Life is destined to end anyway. Not only was he unable to change his succession plan to himself in barely a year, but even if he did, it was meaningless.

Nevertheless, Han Seung-hyeon bullied Tae-seong until the end. He endlessly expressed his feelings of inferiority and his anger toward Tae-seong, which he could not resolve until the end.

It is no longer about moving forward. It was just an action to hinder Taesung. And that was exactly what Seokhyung wanted now.

“I will do what the director wants.”

“What if I told you to stop now?”

“… … “I don’t know what kind of change of heart you have, but I think the director will be happy in the end.”

Preparations had already been completed to some extent. The reason I came to see Seunghyun today was because I wanted to check how he was doing, but it was also because I didn’t think Seunghyun would stay calm forever.

However, there was nothing to be gained from the reunion with him, which left only irrational questions. Seokhyung thought that further conversation was meaningless and turned around without any hesitation.

“I’ll just head back.”

Seokhyung left without even having a chance to ask what he was planning, and Seunghyeon, whose legs later lost strength, fell down.

“how… … .”

How did you notice? Although he couldn’t admit it rationally, Seokhyung was looking at Seunghyeon with such precision that it was scary. So much so that he had no choice but to admit that he had underestimated Seokhyung so much.

I felt more afraid of the gaze looking straight at me than the confusion that Seokhyung would bring. Seunghyeon was unable to get up from where he was sitting for a long time and stared blankly at the closed door.

Only the announcer’s voice on the TV, which I couldn’t turn off, filled the quiet house. The day before Christmas Eve ended like that, leaving behind only confusion.
