I Became A Terminally ill Villain - I became a terminally ill villain (Episode 141)
Episode 141
The two continued their trivial conversation. What I heard about HJ’s current situation through him was obvious.
‘Since the succession structure became clear, the number of people approaching me has increased, but I am keeping a reasonable distance from them. I don’t plan on becoming friends, but it’s hard to push him away outright.’
I felt fortunate, even though the voice spoke of others’ malice in a calm tone, as if I was now used to this kind of life, a little unfamiliar. I was worried that he was being treated like a fool because he was such a nice person, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
“More than that, I think Jaeyoung likes Seunghyeon a lot.”
“Cough.”
Then, the topic changed in an instant, and Seunghyun was so shocked that he almost spilled the tea he was drinking. Seunghyeon, who had barely escaped getting dirty, put his glass on the table and asked.
“Suddenly?”
“I saw Jaeyoung’s car on the way in.”
“car… He could have left the car behind and gone back to his parents’ home. “Because it’s close.”
“well. For that matter, it was very visible that there were people inside… .”
Seonhu tilted his head and said. As he was walking around, wondering where to park, he came across a familiar car.
It was clearly Jaeyoung’s car. Moreover, Jaeyoung’s silhouette was clearly visible beyond the lightly tinted car window.
“I’m not someone else and I don’t think I would recognize Jaeyoung.”
Seunghyeon’s shoulders flinched at the words showing off their closeness. Even though I knew that they were just friends and that the story had become completely unrelated to the original, I was worried for no reason.
“… “You don’t think it’s strange, do you?”
Seonhu asked cautiously because his shoulders were visibly flinching. Seunghyun thought for a moment and shook his head.
“no. “I know best that that won’t happen.”
Seunghyeon knew best where Jaeyoung’s heart was headed. He had no need or reason to be anxious.
“I think it’s the first time I’ve seen her like someone this much. They say learning late is scary. “I guess that’s because my first love came to me at this age.”
However, I guess I should say that I don’t have any sense. She knew that Jae-young had liked Seon-hu for a long time, but when she saw Seon-hu say that she was Jae-young’s first love, she felt a little sorry for Jae-young.
The Seonhu may have sensed that gaze, but quickly shook his head.
“I think I know what you’re thinking, but no.”
“What do you mean it’s not?”
“You think Jaeyoung likes me.”
Wasn’t it something you didn’t know? Seunghyeon swallowed dry saliva without denying it. Seonhu sighed softly and then said.
“Everyone thought so, but… I’ve never thought of it that way. I liked it… . It’s true that I liked it. But Jaeyoung probably didn’t have the same thoughts about Seunghyeon right now.”
“… … .”
“I just thought it would go on naturally, but that didn’t happen when I showed my enthusiasm… “It would be closer to feelings that started from pity and defiance.”
I couldn’t be sure that Seonhu’s opinions were true. Seunghyeon had never seen those emotions before his eyes, and the opinions of those involved could have been different from what was said before and after.
“So don’t worry. just… .”
“I’m not worried.”
But I guess it didn’t matter. Because he was sure who his eyes were pursuing now, whether or not he was Jaeyoung’s first love.
“No matter what the past was, the present is important. “It doesn’t matter whether it was love or sympathy.”
“I said something stupid.”
Seonhu nodded as if he was embarrassed by the confident words. It seemed like she was causing a fuss between two people who trusted each other without even having to help.
“I guess I’ll have to leave quickly. “It would be difficult for Jaeyoung to stay in a small car for a long time.”
“I told you to go home… .”
“I guess it’s because I’m worried. He was discharged from the hospital today, but even if that wasn’t the case… .”
Even if he were himself, he didn’t think he would leave his lover alone after going through such a dizzying experience of going between life and death. You want to stick by her side. Seonhu thought so and stood up from her seat.
“I’ll see you again once my health recovers. I’ll contact you. “Jaeyoung probably won’t want to leave your side, so we’ll just have to keep in touch for a while.”
“Wouldn’t there be a problem if I met Joo Jae-young when he was with me?”
“well. It would be nice if Jaeyoung thought that way too… “I don’t think it is yet.”
I’m waiting near my house because I don’t want to go home for a while, but it won’t be difficult at least for a while. She said, recalling the familiar car she saw on the way in.
“Once you get healthy, Jaeyoung will feel a little relieved. “You can’t help but feel anxious now.”
It’s not that he doesn’t understand his feelings, but Seonhu embraced Jaeyoung and prepared to go back. It went a little faster than expected, but it was okay since I didn’t have a schedule anyway.
“Please say hello to Jaeyoung too. After your health recovers, and when Jaeyoung has some free time, we will meet together then. Taeseong… .”
Seon-hu, who was about to add Taeseong too, paused for a moment. Isn’t Taesung someone who can’t help but be uncomfortable with Seunghyeon? I hesitated at that thought, but Seunghyun answered first.
“is it so. After a lot of time… “Maybe one day.”
It’s hard to say for sure right now, but I thought it might happen someday. Even though we still don’t have good feelings, didn’t we already know that what we took for granted can change in an instant?
‘That day may come.’
Did he say that Taeseong was the only family member who voluntarily came to visit him while he was lying down? That alone made me think that there must be a difference from the people in that house.
Seunghyeon sent his greetings, checked that his car was starting, and then picked up his cell phone. The phone hung up before three rings and a familiar voice sounded.
-Has Seon Hu gone?
“Why are you asking if you know?”
―… yes?
“I know there’s a lot going on in front of the house, so come in quickly.”
I almost laughed at the panic in my voice, so I just said my business and quickly hung up. It’s not that I don’t like people worrying about me, but I still have to take care of myself.
‘When we come, we have to talk properly.’
Seunghyeon made a firm determination and waited for Jaeyoung. Not long after, a familiar car pulled into the parking lot of a house.
“… … .”
Jaeyoung came in and quietly sat down next to Seunghyeon, as if he was aware of his mistake. Seunghyeon didn’t say anything, just looked ahead and waited for Jaeyoung to open her mouth.
“… I didn’t go because it was really okay if I didn’t go. There was enough luggage here anyway, and the hospital room wasn’t small and was spacious enough for two people, including a guardian, so I didn’t feel uncomfortable… .”
“But you can’t stay by my side all the time.”
It was nice that Jaeyoung liked her, but she also wanted him to cherish himself that much. She had already been struggling with herself for months, and she thought it would be nice to have some alone time with someone else by her side, but Jaeyoung didn’t seem to like that either.
“… … .”
There was no response to the words I spoke as if urging. He didn’t seem to want to deny that.
“… “Even if we’re not family, aren’t we still close enough?”
“No, I’m not saying that… .”
Seunghyeon turned his head at the childish words and was embarrassed when he saw Jaeyoung’s face. It was a truly sad face.
‘… ‘Is this really that disappointing?’
Seunghyeon was taken aback and froze at the unexpectedly strong reaction, even though he wasn’t the type of person who couldn’t understand that he was saying this out of concern. Jaeyoung, who only then realized what my expression was, stood up and washed her face.
“… Still, please let me stay like this until the hospital says I’m okay. “I won’t bother you.”
“for a moment… !”
Well, he just entered the same house and his own room, but when Jaeyoung, who he thought would follow him around, ran away, Seunghyeon was so embarrassed that he froze in place, unable to get up from the sofa.
‘… Was I asking that much of an unreasonable request? I just told you to get some rest. ‘He makes a fuss every time I cough and doesn’t even worry about me.’
I knew Jaeyoung lost his temper when it came to things related to him, but I don’t think it was to this extent.
‘no. Because I thought I was going to die… It’s natural to feel anxious. It’s probably something you want to check up close.’
Since I just woke up from a long sleep, I’m probably feeling more anxious. Seunghyun thought so and nodded his head. He decided to leave it alone, thinking it would be a few days at most.
However, despite that thought, Jaeyoung kept watching Seunghyeon for several days after that. Since when did he become so observant? Three days after returning home, Seung-hyeon, who felt it was necessary to have a proper talk due to the clearly strange atmosphere, came to Jae-young’s room.
