episode_0136

An Yu-min was lying on a bed in the nurse’s office.

Although it is called the nurse’s office.

Theia’s nursing facilities are of a high standard compared to major university hospitals.

This is natural as the facility was designed as a designated hospital for the Academy Competition.

Even the hospital room in the nurse’s office.

It was a VIP room at a university hospital, so the inside was as comfortable as a hotel.

Now, three days after the end of the competition.

An Yu-min did not go home and stayed here.

‘Even if I go back home… there’s no one there. ‘It’s better here.’

Fortunately, my mother was acquitted and acquitted.

The arrest seemed like a huge shock.

So, I went to the safe house of a female senior I knew from my hero days to get recuperation.

However, An Yu-min, who was an academy cadet and participating in the competition, was unable to leave for a safe house located in the countryside.

So it’s better than a house with no one in it.

It would be better to be here with the school nurse and Moon Soo-hara, whom I have known since high school.

‘I’m tired too.’

Theia also exempted players participating in the semifinals from participating in lectures or training for a week.

I feel extremely helpless right now.

Yumin An didn’t want to lie down here and do anything.

The aftereffects of the semifinal defeat still remained.

This is not a competition for just one cadet, but the semifinals of a major sports competition.

As such, it was not surprising that the shock of being eliminated was so great.

There was a reason why An Yu-min’s aftereffects were more severe.

“I have nothing.”

An Yu-min muttered to himself.

There is nothing and no one.

Those words are unexpectedly like a habit of hers talking to herself.

After deciding to walk the path of a hero.

Although I swore I would never look back on my depressing past.

Even that oath felt meaningless now.

Her depressing childhood.

An Yu-min was born as a wealthy woman without a father.

20 years ago, when the Dark Ages were barely coming to an end.

Her mother was a famous hero who even formed a party with Song Yu-hwan.

She fell in love with a villain and abandoned her colleagues.

The villain was a vicious person who almost exterminated the heroes who were the hope of humanity at the time.

Therefore, his father was a person who deserved to be killed.

‘But… my mother…’

My mother always tried to hide that fact.

When young An Yu-min accidentally wakes up at night and sneaks out to the living room.

My mother was always drinking alone.

– Letty. I miss you… I’m alone… I’m lonely.

The image of An Yu-min’s mother being drunk and calling the name of a person named Leti, whom Yu-min An does not know at all.

Although her mother was always strong as she raised An Yu-min alone.

That fragile appearance seen every night made An Yu-min anxious.

– Mom is always happy as long as Yumin is there!

The mother says it will be okay as long as An Yu-min is there.

But I found out that this wasn’t actually the case.

Clearly, my mother missed that man.

I didn’t know that when I was young.

An Yu-min, who was a little older, could clearly see who her mother missed.

That villain named Letty.

And perhaps, the mother’s affection is greater than that of her own daughter.

The fact that she may cherish the memories with the villain who ruined her life more.

‘My mother… became increasingly weak.’

Even though I lied about my family history to Lee Jun-woo.

Already during high school days.

An Yu-min’s mother had already become a severe alcoholic.

When he was young, it was his mother who always taught him the pride and honor of being a hero.

In reality, she was just a weak woman who could not forget the villain who betrayed her colleague.

And as a side effect of that alcoholism.

My mother started looking for a villain named Leti even more.

Naturally, his mother’s interest in him diminished.

Since childhood, Ahn Yu-min had always pretended to be okay and steadfast.

I didn’t know that my mother thought that by the time I was a high school student, I was already grown up.

“……”

An Yu-min closed his eyes tightly.

So, An Yu-min was in high school.

I was so obsessed with becoming a hero.

A mother whose glory days have been completely forgotten and fallen into ruin.

And I don’t know what kind of person he was.

He’s a villain whose records have even been erased.

His father must have been a very vicious person.

The villain’s blood flowing through him.

The anxiety of not knowing when I would wake up has always been with me from then until now.

So there was nothing and no one in An Yu-min’s house.

There was no one she could rely on and give her heart to.

Other than the obsession with justice, which is no different from a lie.

In fact, she was almost like an empty person.

And that time when the loneliness in her heart froze cold.

At high school, An Yu-min met a man.

***

The man An Yu-min still loves.

The moment I picture that man’s face in my mind.

An Yu-min felt pain as if his heart was being torn apart.

“Junwoo Lee…”

While lying helpless on the bed in the hospital room, I called his name.

Probably the loneliest time of her life.

The person who brought light to An Yu-min’s dark heart.

And despite his fine appearance.

The person who told me that he liked her who had a deep, unspeakable darkness inside.

The memories of that time came back again.

Before the Aigis was even created.

– If you go to the academy… you will definitely make it to the competition finals! At that time, I will do whatever it takes to take you to that theme park. I’ll promise.

An academy competition that An Yu-min could not even imagine at the time.

Lee Jun-woo boasted that she would definitely go to the finals.

To her who was taken aback by those words.

He even promised to take An Yu-min to a theme park in Japan if he goes to the finals.

And the promise to go to that theme park.

It was also a promise her mother originally made to her.

A promise to go together for the birthday of a first-year high school student.

But my mother, who had become an alcoholic, seemed to have forgotten that promise long ago.

‘Rather, Junwoo… made me that promise.’

And because he himself expelled Lee Jun-woo.

Since all those relationships ended, I had even forgotten about myself.

Surprisingly, Lee Jun-woo still hasn’t forgotten that promise.

What if An Yu-min led the Aegis to the finals with his own strength?

Lee Jun-woo would definitely keep that promise.

“Everything… it’s over.”

Although my relationship with Lee Jun-woo is over.

Still, if you happen to keep that promise.

I didn’t know if there would be even a little bit of hope.

It is romantic for a man and a woman to travel abroad together.

No matter how much Ahn Yu-min doesn’t know about love.

If that promise becomes reality.

I must have tried there to somehow work well with Lee Jun-woo again.

“Ugh… black…”

Without realizing it, tears came to her eyes again.

The tears of a child who couldn’t go to the theme park weren’t immature.

And the bitterness of losing in the semifinals did not remain with her.

A victory in which everything was thrown away.

She clashed with Lee Jun-woo with the most powerful freezing skill she could create.

But I couldn’t beat Lee Jun-woo.

This meant that even as an awakened person, he was now completely behind Lee Jun-woo.

‘I really don’t see any way out now. ‘If I’m weaker than Junwoo… what value am I to Junwoo?’

The shock made An Yu-min weak.

Again, I went back completely to the time when there was nothing and no one.

“Do you really think that? Alone and miserable again. To shed ugly tears alone in a place like now with no one around?”

At that moment, An Yu-min was surprised.

The current hospitalization room is a single room.

She was clearly the only one here.

It wasn’t even the school nurse’s rounds.

Of course, there was no way I could hear anyone’s voice.

“Kkkkk. Are you really going to give up? Why do you think it’s over? Just like your mother couldn’t give up on that villain. You know very well that you can’t give up on Lee Jun-woo, right?”

And it wasn’t an illusion.

That cynical, self-deprecating voice continued to be heard.

“Noisy… Shut up!”

And An Yu-min already knew who that voice was.

Another self.

Ahn Yu-min, whose blood as a damn villain inherited from his father has awakened.

“Yes. I am you. And you are me. Because I am your true feelings.”

To the words of the villain who speaks casually through his own mouth.

An Yu-min was unable to make any denial.

“So do whatever it takes. Let’s definitely get Lee Jun-woo back.”

And the villain’s words sounded so sweet to An Yu-min now.

Lee Jun-woo didn’t want to leave any women around.

If so, maybe someday Lee Jun-woo will look back at himself.

Right at that moment.

An alarm bell rang in An Yu-min’s hospital room.

“Yoo Min. it’s me! Mr. Suha. There is someone who came to visit. Is it okay if I let you in?”

An Yu-min picked up the receiver and answered.

“Visit. Who came?”

“Don’t be surprised. Junwoo is here.”

“Junwoo…? First of all… Ah, I understand.”

I couldn’t help but be surprised by those words.

And at that moment, An Yu-min thought of a thought that she could not normally think of.

She put down the receiver and muttered.

“I’ll lend you my body. So… help me.”

Ahn Yu-min’s face was gloomy and shadowy.

As soon as she said that, her expression changed.

With an expression full of bright smiles.
