I stood in front of the building.

Once again, staring at this damn place.

"Huh... I need it, so I guess I have no choice but to do what she wants."

With a quiet sigh, I walked into the building—the place where I worked as Eun-bi’s personal assistant.

Honestly, being soone’s subordinate was never pleasant.

Being ordered around.

Doing whatever your superior wanted, whenever they wanted it.

I pressed the elevator button and waited.

A few monts later, the elevator doors opened. I stepped inside.

The ride up felt longer than usual.

When the doors finally opened again, I had already arrived at the floor where Eun-bi’s office was located.

And for so reason...

I felt uneasy.

From the mont I stepped out, I could feel it—CCTV caras following my every move. Not just one or two, but several. Their lenses subtly shifted, tracking .

Worse still, there were people around—office workers on the surface, but their movents were too rigid, too alert.

Bodyguards.

They were pretending to be employees, but their eyes never left .

"What’s going on here...?"

I walked toward Eun-bi’s office door.

Before opening it, I straightened my tie.

Just in case.

Then I opened the door—

And my head was slamd straight into the floor.

"—!"

Pain exploded through my skull.

I tried to activate my power, but before I could even react, sothing cold snapped around my wrists.

Click.

Handcuffs.

My hands were locked behind my back.

Anti–superpower handcuffs.

The kind heroes used to restrain villains.

"What the hell—!?"

This wasn’t a hero facility.

So why—

I turned my eyes slightly and saw it.

Two bodyguards.

They had been waiting behind the door the entire ti.

The mont I stepped in, they moved in perfect coordination—forcing down and restraining without hesitation.

Damn it.

I let my guard down.

Slowly, I lifted my gaze.

In front of , Eun-bi was sitting calmly on a luxurious chair, her legs crossed elegantly. Her right hand supported her head as she looked down at .

She was smiling.

A thin, mocking smile.

"M–Miss Eun-bi!? What is the aning of this!?"

I asked, unable to hide my confusion.

She knew the truth.

She knew I was a villain.

But did that an... she was betraying ?

"Don’t misunderstand too quickly, Mr. Yoo Jinhoo~"

She gently flicked her bright silver hair as she stood up from the chair and walked toward .

Then she crouched down in front of and lifted my chin with her fingers.

"I’ve really missed this handso face of yours... It’s been over a month since you last appeared before ."

Tch.

If I hadn’t let my guard down, I wouldn’t be in this position.

"U–ugh... Miss Eun-bi... If you missed that much... I don’t think all this was necessary..."

"Oh, but it is necessary," she replied smoothly.

"You’re a famous villain, after all. You destroyed New York with ease. Teleporting wherever you please. Wouldn’t you be dangerous if I didn’t restrain you like this?"

...She wasn’t wrong.

But still—

"Miss Eun-bi... I’m your ally. I would never hurt you."

She glanced at the bodyguards.

One of them imdiately understood and pulled out a thick binding rope.

"What— Miss Eun-bi!?"

The rope tightened around my legs, immobilizing them completely.

"Shh... It’s alright. Everything will be fine," she whispered.

"You’ll stay with here for the whole day. I really missed you..."

Her voice was soft.

Too soft.

The bodyguards soon left the room, closing the door tightly behind them.

So that was it.

This had all been planned from the start.

By Eun-bi herself.

She grabbed and dragged toward another door inside the office.

I hadn’t even realized there was another room here.

I didn’t know where it led.

And right now, I couldn’t do anything.

My powers were sealed by the cuffs. My legs were bound.

For the first ti in a long while...

I was truly in danger.

The door opened.

Revealing a room with pink walls—

And a bed.

"...A bedroom!?"

Why was there a bed here!?

This was an office!

Sure, Eun-bi was rich—but who in their right mind built a bedroom inside their office!?

"A bedroom!? Why is there a room like this in your office!?"

"There wasn’t one before," she replied calmly.

"I never even thought about it. But... after eting you, I changed my mind."

Changed her mind!?

What did she an by that!?

She closed the door behind us and dragged toward the bed.

No.

This was bad.

Very bad.

I had a horrible feeling that sothing extrely important was about to be taken from .

"M–Miss Eun-bi! We can talk about this first!"

"There’s nothing to talk about. So things must be done through action."

Damn it!

I struggled with all my strength, trying to break free from the cursed cuffs. If only I hadn’t co here—

She lifted my body and placed onto the bed.

"...How are you that strong!?"

I weighed 64 kilograms.

There was no way an ordinary woman could lift so easily.

"I trained every day for a whole month," she said proudly.

"Just so I could lift you."

...She really went that far.

"Then what about the company!?"

"The company is fine. Money will keep flowing even without ," she replied casually.

"Thanks to you coming here, everything beca much easier."

Damn it.

This was completely off the original Webtoon route.

Eun-bi removed her suit jacket, revealing only her bra underneath.

Then she climbed onto the bed.

Crawling toward —

Like a predator approaching its prey.

"You shouldn’t think about anything else right now," she whispered seductively.

"The only thing you need to think about... is . I’ll make sure my face fills your mind."

She had lost it.

Completely.

Why was she doing this?

Was she truly that obsessed with ?

I didn’t know.

*At Yoo Jinhoo’s House*

Lee Donghyun was watching a movie on his computer while munching on French fries.

"Ah... They’re too hard. I should’ve cooked them a bit less."

Suddenly, Kim Gae-in appeared and tapped his shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

"Hm? Just watching a movie while eating fries. They’re kinda hard. Want so?"

Kim Gae-in’s face lit up.

"Of course! Who would refuse food?"

She grabbed so fries and took a bite.

"Ouch... Yeah, these are pretty hard."

"Right? I knew it."

"But they’re still pretty good," she said cheerfully.

"It’s like eating chips."

Suddenly, a notification popped up on the computer screen.

Both of them turned to look.

[WARNING! Forr SS-Rank Hero Jacqueline is approaching this location!]

"...W–What?"

Their faces went pale.

This was a warning from the security system Lee Donghyun had personally installed.

They were in danger.
