I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

EP.55 EP3. Guilt (3)

The day the first operation started.

Bombing fell on the way the unit was going, and after that, additional heroes came in to clear up and killed my colleagues relentlessly.

It wasn’t even a fight.

That in itself is a one-sided massacre.

The will of the revolution, which was exalted in the face of their overwhelming power, is futilely broken by the overwhelming power. All I could do in front of them was resign my death or run away ugly.

– Awkward.

It was never her intention to use her power in the midst of that.

It was simply that the power was released instinctively, unconsciously when there was a threat to one’s own life.

‘It’s all because of you.’

After losing his reason and exercising his power, a man approached him after hearing his spirit.

However, even the rain from the sky could not wash away all the blood on his body.

Even though he was buried in such a deep tragedy, he could not hide the hatred he was showing towards him.

‘Everyone died because of you. You hide that power… … .’

I couldn’t speak.

Because I thought that if I knew how this power I was born with was created, the haven of my heart that I had just found might be destroyed.

‘If it were me… … .’

though maybe.

I thought this person might understand.

‘If I had that power, I would… … .’

Nevertheless, in a cry to himself.

My heart ached at the grief emanating from him, and I turned my back on him, unable to utter a single excuse.

Motives that have already died cannot come back to life.

He who has survived to the end will live by remembering this moment in every moment of his life.

“Tell me honestly.”

Was it a coincidence or fate that I met someone I had been ignoring for so long?

“you are… … . Are you resenting me?”

Either way, you shouldn’t run away unless you’ve already met them.

If you truly value that time… … .

And if he doesn’t forget his feelings for him, he’ll be obligated to accept that core.

“… I have no idea.”

But only a blunt answer came back to her, who was holding her chest.

That was totally unexpected for Seol Hwa-ran.

It was too great a crime to have committed himself at that time to pass it on with clumsy consideration.

“I have no idea… … .”

“I certainly felt betrayed at the time.”

Yeah, so I thought it would be unforgivable.

In fact, as he leaned against the railing and looked back at himself, the hatred of that day that he had been thinking about all along did not show at all.

“Different from the start

He had the power to quarrel with the executives, and he hangs out with the juniors, and doesn’t even use that power until the time of his death? then

As soon as the road to success in the subject opens, don’t they pick me up and put me in their bag… … .”

“Well, that’s…”

“It’s obvious why I put it in my unit. I want to apologize somehow, but I don’t know how to approach it, so I tried to post it as close as possible to seize the opportunity.”

“…윽.”

Seol Hwa-ran curls up as if stabbed in the right direction.

As if he had expected it to some extent, he burst out laughing and even stared at the sea.

“What are you? I have to pretend to be strong and cool just because I got to an executive position in Amman.

“Koo, cool, steamed?”

“What did I say wrong?”

Although it was an accusation that could be called outright, there was a faint smile on his lips as he stared at the sea.

It was definitely a feeling that could be called nostalgia.

Because he, like himself, remembers the moment he had with his classmates… … .

“… No, you are right.”

I valued that time very much, so I thought that I had no choice but to feel betrayed towards myself.

“still.”

But he already knew.

Over time, the wound will heal.

The scars will remain, but the pain will subside, so I can’t be bothered with those memories forever.

Moreover, as the scars that will be engraved in that life do not end with just one.

“After that, I have always been watching you from my side. Still, I understand that you didn’t hide your power for no reason.”

Yes, to hate and to apologize.

In order for that heart to be accepted by the other person, shouldn’t it be necessary to know how many wounds have been etched into the person’s heart?

So I had no choice but to realize just by watching her.

Until all of the companions I cherished died, the wounds that suppressed that power couldn’t be light.

Unable to comprehend such feelings, he was swayed by a sense of betrayal for a moment, leaving a bigger scar that will never be erased.

‘You understand me. this person is… … .’

Unlike himself, only forgetting the memory of him.

He still remembered the time he had with him, and he continued to build up his heart up to this moment.

Longing for and feeling guilty about the long-lost motives. And bitter regrets about the past… … .

‘Well, now… … .’

Still, if you would call it all leisure.

Then, with the help of today’s counting, wouldn’t it be possible to convey the unsatisfactory words at that time?

“And that you didn’t become a villain because you wanted it.”

But before I could even open my mouth, the moment I heard what he said, Seol Hwa-ran caught her breath.

As a woman who has lived as a villain, words that cannot be overlooked.

“what… … .”

“Yoonseol Lee. I will be honest.”

Before he could utter a question, he looked into Seol Hwa-ran’s eyes and said:

“I… don’t think you’re a good fit for a villain.”

In addition to when she was in the organization, she calmly judged her actions based on her actions up to this moment.

But the moment he heard those words, what Hwa-ran Sul felt was nothing but an insult.

“That is not for you to evaluate.”

I had no choice but to do so.

The person who thought he understood himself was trying to deny his identity at this moment.

“Yeah, is there any right to meddle in other people’s affairs on a subject that I can’t even control?”

He, too, was not surprised at Hwaran’s reaction at this moment.

No matter how strong they pretend to be on the outside, they are weak on the inside, and even if they have a past that they hide their innate strength as a curse.

Still, she was proud of her position as an officer of Ouroboros, and she became a minion and committed many evil deeds all along.

Villain Seolhwaran.

She was objectively and clearly called ‘evil’.

“So, please let me know.”

But the beginning would never have been called evil.

The appearances she had shown all along were enough to foretell it.

“If you still feel sorry for me or other comrades… … . Why did you walk the path of a villain with such a clumsy attitude?”

Until now, it was too late to ask, but it may be possible now.

If it’s a place where you face each other as person to person, not as an executive versus a minion.

“…don’t you know?”

“I know you came here to get revenge. I don’t know who the revenge was directed against.”

At some point, his gaze turned to the sea level that spread outside the deck.

The gaze towards the horizon gradually narrows and is soon wrapped around and encroached into darkness.

What is he trying to see in that darkness? What is he looking for?

“But you’re a villain too, so you know that. Those who have no good reason to betray society usually end up with regrets.”

I didn’t know what it was, but I knew one thing.

Although he was a pawn, he too belonged to the same organization as him.

Even if there is no power, evil does not distinguish between strength and weakness.

He too had seen the same world as himself and had experienced evil for the same time.

There’s nothing I can’t agree with… … .

“… I don’t think the reason is bad. If the organization still sticks with it after it’s gone, that’s definitely a good reason.”

In response to the question stemming from such a reason, Sul Hwa-ran gripped my chest and gradually controlled his hesitation.

‘Can I hear you?’

It’s a story I haven’t shared with anyone.

both in the former organization and in the present organization.

Because this is a story that only you have to have and that you have to finish with your own hands. So, even here, it might be the right answer to just keep quiet.

It may be, but… … .

“… Children without parents are common.”

Yet this man.

Because he is a person who has always watched and understood his chaotic and weak side that no one knows about.

“I lost my hometown by villains, but the number of people the government can manage is limited… … . Even in poor facilities, there are those who are left without being entrusted with them.”

The moment he realized it, his story was put in his mouth.

The moment when the worst villain named Seol Hwa-ran was born.

“I was too young to remember, but it was probably the traffickers who took me back then.”

“… Nine out of ten, even Yongke survived where they fell into long-term trading.”

“It would have been better that way. After that, what I saw at the place where it was sold… … . As a villain, I’ve never seen anything that was terrible.”

He came to a child who could not even resist, and could only cry and ask for sympathy or help.

A tragic story that is very rare in this day and age.

“Yeah, it was really terrible. When I escaped from that facility, it was none other than a hero who followed me.”

“… … What?”

But was this story unexpected?

He, who had been quietly listening until now, began to look at himself with wide-open eyes.

The cause of the terrible situation that gave birth to the worst villain who messed up the world is actually… … ,

In fact, it was not done by a common criminal organization, but by those who defend the justice of this world.

“But back then, I really liked whether they were right or wrong. I was just scared.”

But how can a fearful child judge right from wrong?

It was just scary, it was painful, and that’s why I ran away.

No matter how much they claim justice and punish evil, they are just enemies to a child who knows nothing.

“… I just thought I should run away from them.”

Yes, there were no options from the beginning.

Even joining the organization or becoming an executive was something that happened naturally and unconsciously, regardless of her intentions.

Being swayed around like that was the life of a villain called the worst.

“But savagely, the world doesn’t even allow me to be swayed like that.”

Yes, that too is a story of the past.

Coincidentally, what she wants to do now is not a common storytelling.

Although the beginning may have been due to a disturbed environment, only the purpose that was enlightened in the process came from her own will.

“… Did you find it?”

“Yes, I discovered it when I was working as an executive.”

The remnants of the power that gave him this mighty power, fragments and traces of it, are scattered throughout Pangea.

The fact that it is still happening in an invisible place.

“But at first, I didn’t care, because that’s what happens in the society we want to break down in the end.”

So if this continent changes, those things will naturally disappear as well.

Although it is the detestable power they have given, if you can achieve it with such power, that is enough… … .

I thought so.

“But… we failed.”

In the end, that high ideal also collapsed in vain with one defeat.

“And they are still having an affair in the name of justice.”

As if mocking himself for failing, he sees the remnants that drove him down this path gradually multiply and color the world.

What should you do when you face it?

Do you just sit down helplessly at one failure?

Or will he use his shattered pride and the remaining presence to create a force that is nothing more than rags?

“…there’s no way you can stop watching that. Come on now.”

Such an option was meaningless.

In the first place in her life up until now, she had no act of choice.

Even if I erased my existence and became free from the organization.

The years that have already passed are forcing us to walk the path we are today.
