I Became a Villainous Character with a Limited Lifespan Chapter 57

Episode 57

“long ti no see.”

“I know. long ti no see.”

The two people exchanged greetings. It was a sowhat awkward eting.

‘It’s awkward, we’ve known each other almost our whole lives.’

Seonhu sat down, surprised by his own thoughts. Jaeyoung, whom I t after a long ti, looked quite nervous.

Although we had known each other since we were very young, I barely rembered seeing Jaeyoung like this. Is sothing going on? She asked Seonhu with a worried look on her face.

“What’s going on? “You look so bad.”

“no. “It’s not like that.”

Only then did Jaeyoung relax his expression a little. But the shadow still remained. Seonhu drank a little of his portion of the drink.

“Now that I think about it, it’s been a really long ti. Last ti I called… I’m sorry. “It was so sudden.”

“no. “I haven’t done anything for you.”

“still… “Thank you for just telling .”

Seonhu gave a slightly belated thank you. That day, I had a complete ntal breakdown and couldn’t think normally.

If I contacted my family, the situation would likely escalate, and Tae-seong’s aides were also unable to be contacted. I couldn’t even figure out what to do or how to wait, so I just cried and contacted Jaeyoung, the only person I could trust.

“I was so busy that I couldn’t even say thank you properly. “I should have contacted you first.”

“no. If you’re doing well, that’s okay. Rather than that… “I want to ask you sothing.”

Jaeyoung, who did not have ti to talk for a long ti, cut off the introduction. He had co here feeling like he was grasping at straws.

“Do you know about that person?”

“who… “Are you talking about Gu?”

Because he was in a hurry, Seon-hu was taken aback by what he said without even saying the subject. Jaeyoung paused for a mont and said.

“… “Have you ever heard from Executive Director Han about Mr. Seunghyun Han?”

“Mr. Han Seung-hyun?”

Seonhu was embarrassed and put down the drink he was drinking. Over the past few days, Seung-hyeon’s story has suddenly been heard here and there, as if it had been planned. I couldn’t figure out what the English sentence was.

‘How does Jaeyoung know that person? Oh, I called then… .’

Jaeyoung was a friend who took good care of her, so she would have looked into what happened. I understood it up to that point.

“know… “Saiya?”

But I don’t think there’s any need to ask about that person. Seonhu asked cautiously. Jaeyoung still looked nervous. As if she was worried about soone.

I guess the person I’m worried about is him… . She asked even though she thought Seonhu would not do that.

“… … .”

Silence was affirmation. Seonhu blinked in surprise. It was a completely unexpected combination.

“How did you find out? “Has it been a long ti since you’ve known each other?”

The seonhu poured out a barrage of questions. It was Jaeyoung who asked first, and Jaeyoung cald Seonhu down as the guests were upset.

“Have you ever heard of it?”

Seon-hu was a little surprised by the serious tone and flinched. From the mont I first entered here and t his gaze, the Jaeyoung of today was unfamiliar in many ways.

Whenever we t, we just exchanged trivial, unnecessary stories. Most of the ti, Seon-hu would talk, and Jae-young would spend ti answering appropriately.

Today was different. Jaeyoung looked hurried and anxious, as if he was being interrogated rather than having a conversation.

“Well, I don’t know.”

Seonhu was taken aback by Jaeyoung and stuttered. I was curious about how Jaeyoung and Seunghyeon knew each other, but Jaeyoung was in an unusual mood to ask questions.

“just… Taesung doesn’t like it… “I t you a while ago.”

“lately?”

“Oh, not that long ago. “It hasn’t even been a few days.”

Seonhu traced back the day he t Seunghyeon with his fingers. His fingers stopped before they had even crossed one hand.

“Where? What happened? “No, what did you talk about?”

Jaeyoung continued asking questions without stopping. Could this be the reason for the late reply that day? Could it be related to the sudden change? I wanted to know sothing.

“Just by chance… . No, I said it might not be a coincidence… .”

The embarrassed Seonhu mumbled his answer. He thought it was a coincidence, but Tae-seong firmly said that it must have been a calculated eting, so he was confused about how to respond.

“While taking a walk in the park… .”

“park?”

“I t Leo a few days ago when I went to his parents’ house and took him for a walk. I saw it once at the supermarket before… .”

Jaeyoung frowned for a mont in a completely unexpected place. I even wondered if I had heard wrong.

Seonhu looked at Jaeyoung’s face and sighed softly. Even so, she ended up having to repeat the story over and over again to the point where it was annoying to Tae-seong.

“I wasn’t looking straight ahead, but I bumped into sothing and fell, and we talked for a while about that… .”

Jaeyoung sighed softly. He was in a situation that did not suit Seunghyeon, but considering Seonhu’s personality, it was not that strange.

Jaeyoung was also familiar with the sight of Seonhu talking and sharing stories with everyone he saw as if they were close friends. Seunghyun didn’t seem to be the type to turn down people who approached him.

“You didn’t know the face?”

However, Seung-hyeon and Seon-hu may not be strangers to each other. Even if it was Seon-hu, there was no way Seung-hyeon didn’t know Seon-hu’s face.

“… Seeing it once is all it takes. Because the chairman doesn’t like attending family events… .”

Seonhu said with a slightly sullen expression. After hearing this story here and there, she felt like a real fool.

“Besides, I didn’t realize that the atmosphere was completely different from when I first saw it.”

Jaeyoung clicked his tongue inwardly. Looking at her sullen appearance, it looks like she got scolded by Han Tae-seong. Anyway, she was a person that she didn’t quite like.

“Besides, the day we first t, he even collapsed and I lost my mind… .”

“You collapsed?”

Jaeyoung was surprised by Seonhu’s excuse and cut him off. He collapsed, that was the first ti I heard that.

But what was more surprising was Seonhu. Jaeyoung was always kind, but he wasn’t the type of person to react like this.

‘Are we close…? ? If you were close with Jaeyoung, there’s no way I wouldn’t know. No, she didn’t know , at least not until the last ti she called.’

“Well, seeing as you took out the dicine right away, it looked like you had a chronic illness. I don’t know. You said you saw Leo while taking him for a walk in the park a few days ago. “I rembered what happened at that ti, so I talked to him for a mont and then Taeseong ca and I realized it was him.”

Seonhu looked at the unfamiliar Jaeyoung and spoke slowly. Jaeyoung was lost in her thoughts, not noticing that Seonhu was unfamiliar with her.

‘There’s definitely sothing… ‘Because you won’t tell .’

My anxiety only increased. I know that the person I like more will lose, but unlike when I started out confident, I just felt like I was hanging on to myself now.

Moreover, even if it was Seon-hu, there was no way Seung-hyeon didn’t know Seon-hu’s face. Even if the eting was a coincidence, what was the reason for pretending not to know? I didn’t understand.

“What’s going on? “Just ask.”

After thinking for a while, Jaeyoung finally ca to his senses from Seonhu’s grumpy words and took his hand off his forehead.

“… It’s just that I found out… Even though I know what kind of person he is, I don’t know. “I was wondering if you knew any stories.”

“How did you find out?”

“that… .”

Jaeyoung hesitated, unable to answer. He was keeping a close eye on him because he thought he was a person who could cause harm to Seonhu, and after hearing that he had been seen at a friend’s bar, he went to look for him.

It wasn’t a difficult story up to that point, but I was a little hesitant about the story behind it. How should I talk about it? While I was thinking about it, Seonhu asked carefully.

“if… “Are you eting, Saiya?”

Even to the tactless Seon-hu, Jae-young now seed strange. It was so strange that he seed like a different person. He seed anxious even though he wasn’t, but the more he talked about Seunghyeon, the more strange he beca.

Well, that ans we’re not an ordinary relationship, but when I thought about it, there was only one assumption that ca to mind.

“… … .”

Jaeyoung’s expression hardened. People you et. It would be nice if I could introduce it that way. The relationship between the two, as defined by Seunghyeon himself, was sothing that could not be easily discussed with others.

“… no. “We are not in a relationship like that.”

Could we be like that soday? After hearing the story of Seon-hu, I beca even less sure. I thought it felt bad for other people to talk about Seunghyeon without knowing much about him, but now I felt like I was no different.

“Nothing… no.”

It wasn’t a relationship worth ntioning to others, and I had no confidence in Seunghyeon. But he couldn’t let him go just yet.

“Nothing.”

I couldn’t do that. Even though he wasn’t sure what Seunghyeon was like, Jaeyoung knew what he wanted. Although he thought it was just a foolish wish, he ca to think that there must have been so reason behind this.

Seonhu couldn’t ask any more questions due to his complex-looking face and kept his mouth shut. In the end, the eting after a long ti ended with only questions left to each other.
