I Became a Framed Villain

Episode 61 – Belated Repentance

“…why are you doing that?”

“Ugh… uh…”

“Mr. Great Order?”

Kang Ha Neul reaches out to Kang Maru, who was crying with her face covered.

“You’re okay, right?”

“…………”

“Are you the enemy by any chance?’

Kang Ha-neul, who quietly wipes her tears down her cheeks and asks a question.

“…No.”

“Then why…”

Kang Ha-neul, who looked at her as if she could not understand, quickly rose from her seat.

“excuse me.”

And then, Kang Ha-neul sits right next to her.

“Have you had anything bad lately?”

As he begins to gently wipe Kang Maru’s back, her eyes, which were dripping with tears, begin to tremble.

“I, there…”

“Why are you all of a sudden respectful? It’s a bit embarrassing.”

Kang Ha Neul puts her hand away with a little force, and says with a friendly smile.

“Please be comfortable with me.”

“……..”

“Like a little brother.”

“…!”

As he said that, his eyes instantly shone darkly.

“that…”

However, Kang Maru couldn’t see those eyes because he was bowing his head.

“……..”

As she slowly raised her head, she saw her younger brother’s face with a soft smile.

“If you have any difficulties, tell them all.”

From the youthful face she knew, it looked like she had gone through 10 years of age and storms.

But now I see for sure.

I don’t know what kind of power he used, but that face is definitely the look his younger brother will take in the future.

“…I made a mistake, no, I made a mistake.”

Kang Maru, realizing that the left eye of such a face has not blinked at all, opens his mouth, clenching his fists until they become white.

“A very tragic mistake.”

“…that must have been difficult.”

Then, after a moment’s pause, Kang Ha-neul answered in a calm voice.

“I don’t know if I can turn it around.”

“is that so.”

“I want to turn back… I think it’s already too late.”

There was no light in her eyes.

“But if I can find a way, I want to find it…”

“What the hell did you do wrong?”

“that…”

She continued to stutter in that state, shutting her mouth to Kang Ha-neul’s question.

“So…”

“Ah, that’s it.”

Then, in a cold sweat, she opened her mouth again.

“Even if it’s a mistake or a mistake, once you’ve done it, you can’t undo it.”

Trauma saying that in a slightly cold voice.

“…at least I think so.”

As Kang Maru quietly hardens at those words that seem to dig into him and break through behind him, the trauma continues with another spoonful of soybean paste stew in front of him.

“Sometimes, even accepting an apology can hurt.”

“…………”

“How embarrassing would it be? If a person who has wanted an apology all his life but didn’t blink an eye changes his attitude in an instant and clings to him.”

Then, in a softer voice.

“If too many years have passed since the emotional trough has deepened, a relationship is created that cannot be restored no matter what.”

However, the trauma continues the story with cold eyes that have not changed.

“…So, Mr. Great, please rectify your faults before it becomes such a relationship.”

Kang Ha-neul’s kind voice reaches her with a blank expression.

“…Well, don’t blindly believe in the words of a scum of society like me. I’ve long since lost the way normal people like you think.”

“………”

“Thanks to that, even though I was in a situation where I needed to comfort you, I couldn’t help but say these harsh words.”

Then Kang Ha-neul lowered his head with a slightly worn smile.

“What… experience…”

Kang Maru, whose sense of guilt that had barely subsided once again began to rage in his body, asks a question in a trembling voice.

“It was such a terrible and painful experience.”

“ah…”

“Have you ever experienced the fact that you try hard to live up to expectations, but the people around you leave one by one?”

“……..”

“Have you ever been trampled on by a person who could have given his life, or been beaten so much that his whole body was crushed with an insect-like look?”

Kang Ha-neul’s voice, which had remained calm until then, was trembling slightly just like hers.

“Nevertheless, have you ever liked that person and wanted to be happy even if he left me?”

“……..”

“Have you ever been hunted by people who left your side with false accusations that you just wanted that?”

After those words, the silence came.

“…you won’t be.”

In the stillness, Kang Ha-neul, who had quietly pushed the stew into his mouth for a while, smiled bitterly.

“If you’ve had that experience and you’re not a villain, it wouldn’t make sense.”

“………”

“No, maybe that’s an excuse. Like the people around me, I really should have been a villain.”

Kang Ha-neul, who rested her spoon and leaned on the sofa, murmured in a voice mixed with laughter.

“Because there were some great heroes who left their names in history, even though they went through adversity like me, they didn’t break down to the end.”

His left eye, out of focus, was red and bloodshot.

“And above all, I know myself all too well. A person who would not have been broken even if they had gone through the same hardships as me.”

“……..”

“No, I did.”

Kang Ha-neul quietly rises from her seat after muttering in an empty voice for some reason.

“The story has become long. Are you bored?”

“Oh no…”

“I’m glad. I was worried because I thought I was just adding my own words without my knowledge.”

As he was heading to his room, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Gangmaru.

“…By the way, did you fight Lumia-san?”

At the words that came out of his mouth, Kang Maru’s head was dyed white.

“Are you pretending you don’t know?

“………”

“It’s better to clear up misunderstandings immediately.”

Kang Ha-neul leaves her behind and enters the room assigned to him.

“…Then, have a nice day.”

After speaking, Kang Ha-neul’s door closes quietly.

“…………”

And then came a heavy silence.

In the silence, Kang Maru, who had been sitting still for a long time, saw the bowl of the poor stew she cooked by herself.

“…it’s late.”

Only then did Kang Maru realize.

“It’s late.”

From the moment she abandoned her sister and chose Lumia, she knew that it was too late at the latest.

“you…”

It had been a long time since the younger brother’s heart, who seemed to be resolute, was already twisted and twisted as much as he could.

“…Nevertheless.”

Even if I cried and apologized now, I couldn’t change anything. No, it was clear that the situation would only get worse.

Kang Ha-neul was afraid of even receiving an apology.

“You’ve made me… even though I’ve come to this point…”

But, even so, Kang Ha-neul.

“You loved me…”

Even though it was such a miserable situation, he was still giving for himself.

“Hauu…”

It didn’t have to be his left eye or the testimony of the executives to know.

The stew bowl she was holding was completely empty.

“Ugh, ugh…”

As she lay on the table, hugging the cooling bowl, she breathed out of guilt and began to weep.

“I’m sorry sister…”

Her silent regret continued for a while, holding her breath for fear that it would get into her brother’s ear who had entered the room anyway.

‘…what did I do, I.’

As I entered the room and closed the door, I sat down on the floor helplessly and fell into thoughts.

‘I didn’t mean to complain like this.’

Great Order. So, when I realized something had happened to my sister, I was going to use that as an excuse to consult her.

Min’s counseling was a field in which he was quite confident because he had experience in hypnosis treatment for heroes, but of course, the ultimate goal is to get her likes.

In order to achieve the goal I set for that day, it was essential to make friends with her as Oh Ji-seok.

“Eww.”

But, why? As we were talking, my emotions were overflowing.

Thanks to this, he didn’t get a good crush on her, he didn’t even give her proper advice.

Seeing that the last face he saw had a blank expression, he must have been puzzled by now.

It deserves it. Who would want to hear such a bleak story when their troubles are piled up?

‘What is the reason?’

Why the hell did I explode with emotions and tell such stories?

Because of the ‘trauma’ that remains in my heart? Do you still hate her? I want you to listen to these stories and at least notice my true identity?

But, haven’t I already decided on a purpose? I decided to return it by doing the same thing that Rumia did.

That is my revenge. so…

‘I just set an empty goal, and I’m just bragging about it as a goal, right?’

“….. Tsk.”

In my head as I was quietly trying to organize my thoughts, the voice of a girl, who would be in the belly of Myureuk by now, resounded.

‘Your identity didn’t really matter.’

Why do these words come to mind all of a sudden?

“An empty purpose? Doesn’t it matter?”

Suddenly everything starts to get annoying.

“What do you know about me…”

But even for a moment, the emptiness that fills my heart.

“……..”

Am I really the goal I set for that time?

When it’s over, will you really feel refreshed?

“…I’m going crazy.”

But even so, I have no desire to forgive the three of them.

It just feels like my heart is empty.

As if lost.

Just buried in the memories of the past, hurting here and there and crying.

“…I miss you today.”

For some reason, I wanted to see Justia, so I took out my smartphone to search for her past photos after a long time.

“what?”

However, something is strange.

[39.9169° N, 116.3907° E]

Strange coordinates popped up on my smartphone.

“…Is it Pandora’s joke?”

No matter how much I thought about it, the only person who could do this was Pandora, so I got up quietly and was about to start feeding him honey chestnuts.

“uh.”

The caller’s name caught my eye.

[Rider of Death]

That short and strong name made me smile.

“…that’s fun.”

Suddenly I feel like I have a purpose.
