123 – Unchanging Hero (4)
Minbom grabbed my back and said.
“…Your brother will die here.”
The power that slowly enters her hand.
My head leaned forward according to her strength.
Minbom kisses me.
She was momentarily startled and pulled her body back, but Minbom did not let go of her strength.
I had to carry on kissing her for a long time as it was.
Afterwards, Minbom carefully removed her lips.
I could still feel her anger.
A trembling hand. Tightly closed mouth.
“….You thought I was a good b*tch, didn’t you?”
“……”
“But this is my true self. Sometimes I curse and smoke. Forced like this…!”
She steals my lips once again. Again we kissed for a long time.
“Paha…! Even if I forcibly take my lips, I don’t feel guilty. Know?”
She shook her head and tossed her hair.
“Brother, you got me wrong. Did you forget that I am a hero who catches villains? I won’t let you go until you pay the penalty.”
There was no one to witness us in the completely darkened harbor.
“Did you say sorry to me? So from now on, don’t take my word for it. Dyce is dead here. I will report it like that, so I know that.”
Solas is going astray because of my actions.
But is it because of her anger? I can’t refute anything
Maybe it was because I could see the hope that was inherent in me.
Solas once again offers me a way to solve everything.
Solas will fake my death.
If you break down my petty pride, the path to happiness will open.
Seeing me unable to answer, she gnashed her teeth again.
As if hastening my choice, she said.
“…Or what, are you going to leave me like this and go to jail?”
“……”
“…..You’re going to throw away Song Soo-yeon and go in like that?”
When Song Soo-yeon’s name popped up, I reflexively looked up at Solas.
“Do you think Song Soo-yeon will like it? Are you Hogu?”

“…Bom.”
She spat, wiping the corners of her eyes.
“Don’t sacrifice yourself for her self-gratification! People watching are annoying!!”
– Pair!
She swung her hand and slapped me on the cheek. Her tingling pain stirred her heart.
I had never seen Solas so emotionally charged.
But even after Solas hit her, she covered her mouth with her hand. It’s like she didn’t know she was like this.
“…Mi…”
She still didn’t want to lose her momentum, she gritted her teeth again and gave her words of apology, she whispered to me.
“…If you tell me that you have to turn yourself in, even if you are like this…Really…”
Solas, who was grinding her teeth helplessly, finished her words with difficulty.
“…You will regret it. Because you will regret it…”
A long silence follows.
For a while, we sat like that.
After a long time, Solas rises from his place.
She didn’t even wipe her wet lips from kissing me, and pulled up her mask.
Then, she spoke in a voice that was firmer than before.
“Again, Dyce is dead here. So, brother.”
I looked up at Solas in silence.
“…From now on, oppa, live for me.”
*****
Late dawn.
-Ding.
The elevator inside the house opens, and Solas walks in.
I stared blankly at the TV where it aired, turning her head towards Solas.
She threw off her mask and untied her hair.
Then he stood in place for a while, making eye contact with me.
“…I saw the news.”
She says.
“…They said my brother was dead. I also told the association that I had witnessed it myself.”
“…”
“There will be no evidence…of course.”
After finishing that, Solas slowly threw off her hero suit.
-Slurreuk. Tuk.
“…I’ll wash up and come back.”
A declared Solas, wearing only her underwear, leaves for the bathroom.
In the meantime, I struggled with thoughts that were still unorganized.
Things have already happened…But it was hard to adapt to things that had changed so drastically.
I hope it stays like that for a long time.
She walks slowly with Solas wearing a white coat.
Moist hair. Smooth neckline.
She finds a pack of cigarettes in a nearby drawer.
Accustomed to taking out a magpie and lighting it with her fingers.
The feeling of exhaustion is the complete opposite of the bouncy Solas, who always had a bright smile.
She inhaled the smoke from her cigarette deeply in her place, then exhaled white smoke with a sigh.
“…Haa…”
Then he looks at me.
She slowly walked towards me, holding a cigarette between her index and middle fingers.
-Width.
Then he sits next to me as if he were collapsing.
The smell of cigarettes intensified.
I lean my wet head on my shoulder.
A strange scent rose from the mixture of shampoo and cigarette scents.
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen her smoking.
So it wasn’t surprising.
Solas puts one of her arms under me.
She continued to smoke her cigarette, she said.
“…..I am also an accomplice, now.”
“………”
“…Because you hid a villain like an older brother. What will people say when they know this? If the number 1 hero in the rankings falls in love with a villain.”
“……As expected-“
“-Shut up. My brother can’t sleep. You decided to pay for my sins.”
She hugs my arm tighter.
“…Just for now, stay like this.”
“………”
I looked at her, unleashing her power on her body.
She leans back on the sofa with her head on her back.
Feel the warmth of Solas’ warm body.
Solas continued to speak as if lamenting or complaining.
“Do you know how much I missed her brother?”
“…”
“Brother… I thought he was dead.”
“…Sorry.”
“I don’t need an apology. You just need to be by my side.”
I didn’t get an answer back.
There is still a feeling of uneasiness that lingers inside.
I know that if I bend over and do as Solas said, everything will become more comfortable.
Something deep in the heart prevents you from making a clear choice.
Solas must have noticed that too, so she turned and attached herself to me.
He put his face on my neck as if rubbing it.
“…Why do you keep worrying?”
She whispers annoyedly.
The voice blends gently with her breath.
“Why can’t you just say that you know it with confidence? Why are you doing this, the hell…?”
I also start to worry.
Why am I doing this?
Why does my self-loathing rise so much? Why is the fact that he became a villain so disgusting?
I think I know the psychology of people who vaguely embroider.
I thought for a long time, then slowly opened my mouth.
“…Bom.”
“….”
“…It’s a what-if story.”
“…….”
“…..What would you do if you made a promise to me without knowing it?”
“…..What?”
“…I made a promise with you. Not to become a villain. But if I broke that promise and ended up like this, what would you do?”
If you think about it, yes.
My relationship with Song Soo-yeon is similar to that of Solas.
Song Soo-yeon made a promise not to become a villain with me, and she broke it.
I made a promise with Solas not to become a villain, and I broke it.
I conveyed the disappointment and anger I felt to Solas.
Her disappointment in herself and her feelings of sorry for her shook me like a wave.
I’m not proud to stand in front of her.
But Solas answered without hesitation. As if the answer is already there.
“……As long as you stay by my side, it doesn’t matter.”
“…What?”
“If you try to leave my side… I will be angry.”
Minbom slowly climbed onto my thighs.
He put his arms around her and hugged her neck, and in that position he smoked her cigarette.
Smoke coming out again. It was her unusual sight… But for some reason, the scent of her cigarette matched her very well.
“… Oppa, are you disappointed to see me smoking?”
Continuing my thoughts, I returned an honest answer.
“…..A little bit.”
She asks, puffing out her smoke again.
“Do you want to leave me…?”
I looked at Minbom, who was riding on me, and shook her head.
Of course, it can’t be that much. No matter how much I am disappointed in her Minbom, I cannot get tired of wanting to leave her.
Because she changed my whole life
“…Me too.”
Minbom said.
“….I don’t want my brother to disappear either.”
“…….”
Suddenly, power goes into my eyes.
Her words made her heart thump again.
“You didn’t attack me even when you fought me. You didn’t commit a ruthless crime. You did all of this for Song Soo-yeon. The oppa I used to know is still an oppa.”
Solas’ words always resonate with me so much.
Her It’s like she’s leaning on me… Maybe I’m leaning on her.
“…But if I had made such a promise with my brother.”
“…………”
“…..My brother swore to me that I would never become a villain, so if that’s why I’m worried like this.”
“………..”
She said, looking straight into her eyes.
“…..Then I’ll say it again. Leaving my side… Is a greater sin. It is a bigger mistake.”
For some reason, her words overlap with Solas, a regressor seen in Han Yoo-jung’s dream.
Solas was weeping while smoking a cigarette over my body.
Are you still feeling the same way?
A lot of things are really going the same way as before the regression.
With Dyce’s death, Solas rescues me.
She was loosening her shackles that I had put on myself.
“I am not fair either. I make a lot of mistakes too. So, brother…”
Solas, who wanted to be like me, spat out these words to me.
She ate her heart to live like her… She, too, had this side.
I closed my eyes tightly.
She said.
“…Can you live a little more selfishly?”
“….. Ha.”
“…If you don’t like that, for me…No…For anyone else. Can you stay by our side?
I laughed again.
Then he looked up at Solas.
I think of her and Song Soo-yeon.
There is nothing wrong with what Song Soo-yeon said in the past. There is no sick person like me.
“……”
“…….”
Live selfishly.
Does she even know how greedy I am?
Do you know that because of that greed, in the distant past, he voluntarily walked the path of a villain?
I put her hands on her solas, on her waist, on her, on the back of her head, and pulled her towards me.
This time, I kiss her first.
“……!”
Minbom was taken aback for a moment, then she hugged my face tightly around her neck as if it were a signal.
She has been mixing her tongue with enthusiasm.

Feel the scent of cigarettes.
That wasn’t unpleasant.
I didn’t expect it…But this was okay too.
Maybe everything doesn’t have to go as planned.
“…Ha ha.”
I pulled her lips apart.
Then he gave a small smile.
I have made up my mind.
****
-Kikkiik….
A security guard with purple eyes opens the door to the roof.
Song Soo-yeon walked to the rooftop without saying anything.
There were clear traces of tears on his face. Tears fly away in the cool wind that blows.
The 20th-floor rooftop is several times higher than the 5th-floor rooftop you climbed in the past.
Song Soo-yeon ordered.
“…Close the door and go back to your place.”
The guard did as she said and closed the roof door.
-Clap.
The door is locked.
Song Soo-yeon enjoyed the cool breeze for a while….. She moved her steps slowly.
