[Here is some hero-related news. Hero Yoon Seol recently dismissed the scandal suspicions with famous hero Silver Crow as untrue. In Dispatch, where the suspicions were first raised…]
‘Why does something like that come out on the news?’
The timing was just terrible. And in a bad way.
“… .”
Fortunately, the news anchor soon moved on to another topic, but Yunseol’s expression remained stiff.
“Haa… … .”
She sighs so deeply that it seems like the store might collapse soon.
Then she said in a slightly bitter voice.
“Boss. What do you think about the hero named Yoon Seol?”
“Yu, are you Yunseol?”
Why are you suddenly starting to promote yourself…?
‘ah.’
… You think I don’t recognize you.
Now that I think about it, I really didn’t recognize him when he first came, and since then he’s been wearing his hood down the whole time, so it’s not unreasonable to think that way.
But I’m a bit confused. Actually, a lot.
‘What do you think about Yunseol Hero? Ra…’
I wasn’t quite sure what to say, but I could guess the gist of what he was saying.
Aren’t other people, besides her, often curious about how they look to others?
For example, asking people around you about your reputation, celebrities searching their names on the Internet, or asking their lover, “How am I doing today? Has anything changed?”
Ah. This isn’t it.
Anyway, I guess he wanted to know himself from an objective perspective through me who couldn’t recognize himself.
“Ah. Oh, as expected. Please pretend I didn’t hear that…”
“… .”
‘Should I tell the truth…?’
[A bitch who only looks at handsome male heroes is the next generation’s representative hero? This country is ruined, lol]
… The internet news comments I saw the day before flash through my mind.
‘How do you say that?’
Are you crazy?
I know that sometimes the truth hurts, so I decided to just brush it off.
“Isn’t he a famous hero? I’ve seen him on the news a few times. He’s the guy who just beats up villains.”
“… Huh. What is that?”
‘uh?’
Yunseol burst into a light laugh after hearing my answer.
Did I say something funny? I thought it was a model answer.
But that doesn’t mean you can call her a South American bird, a shameless bitch, or a goddess of Yunseol.
The former is a fight, the latter… I will refrain from talking.
“I guess the boss doesn’t watch internet news or YouTube much? That guy is causing a fuss with his bullying and scandals.”
Soon, as if she didn’t know me, she started reciting to me one by one the things I had seen in internet news articles.
“And what about the 1 trillion won in assets, the idea that heroes are superior, and the fact that they take sexual bribes… Anyway, it was really noisy.”
Yunseol herself recited gossip about herself, including a flyer that I had never heard before.
‘Some people are hearing this story for the first time.’
That means I’ve come across YouTube videos and internet articles that I frowned at when I saw them… I wish I hadn’t read the comments, but I probably did.
Sincere malice can be even more cruel on the Internet where there is little sense of distance.
That too, towards oneself.
“… .”
She continued speaking, unaware that I was looking at her with complicated feelings as my thoughts reached that point.
“Which filming location did he beat up his junior hero, or did he get a parachute from his parents in America… . He really is a funny guy.”
Yunseol’s expression was now almost tearful.
I was a bit skeptical that she had any intention of hiding the fact that she was the person involved… but it seems to me that she doesn’t even have the luxury of doing so.
“And also… ”
“Ahem.”
Unable to bear it any longer, I deliberately coughed to interrupt her.
Then, Yunseol looked at me, a little embarrassed. Her eyes were slightly red and there were small tears forming.
“Why, why are you like that?”
You could comfort her right away with some fancy words.
But it is uncertain whether it will really reach her.
That’s why I asked her the question first.
“Guest, what do you think about that hero?”
“… … What does that mean?”
Yunseol suddenly looked at me with an expression asking what the heck I was talking about.
I continued asking questions without paying attention to her gaze.
“Abusive behavior, scandal, or sexual… bribery. What the customer just said. Do you really think it’s true?”
“That’s….”
Even if Yun Seol really said that, you have no right to throw stones at me.
But is that really the reaction of someone who did such a thing?
“I, I. I don’t think so… .”
And fortunately, she was dumbfounded for a moment after hearing my question, but then shook her head vigorously.
I said, feeling inwardly satisfied after seeing her reaction.
“Actually, I do that too.”
There were quite a few things that were questionable in the internet news articles, and my intuition, having had her as a guest several times, told me that those flyers weren’t true.
‘… No, maybe that’s what I want to believe.’
But you’re our store’s first customer. I think it’s okay to pay this much.
“Why, why do you think so?!”
widely!
At my words, Yunseol, who was sitting at the bar table, suddenly sat up and leaned her upper body toward me.
Thanks to that, the distance between me and her across the table suddenly narrowed… and I was able to take a closer look at her face, which was hidden behind the hood.
Blue eyes filled with tears, cheeks slightly flushed, perhaps due to the alcohol, and even blond hair poking out from between the hood.
‘… How can a person be like this?’
When I looked closely, the destructive power was enormous. I wasn’t even surprised, but my heart started beating fast… It was a moment when I personally experienced the adage that a woman’s tears are a weapon.
”Sorry, I’m sorry.”
Yunseol was embarrassed by her excitement, so she quickly sat back down and put her half-off hood back on.
“He, he, he must have been too drunk. Oh.. By the way, why do you think that?”
I looked at her like that and answered honestly.
“Hmm. Actually, I’ve seen some of those internet news articles too… but they all seem to be biased… ? It feels like they’ve already decided that Yoon Seol is a bad person! and then wrote the articles… ”
“… .”
For some reason, I can’t speak well when I’m in front of the person involved.
“… … And then?”
‘phew.’
I was worried that it would be strange, but fortunately it didn’t seem to be the case, as I saw him prick up his ears and listen to me.
“That, there are often news articles that deliberately package it in a provocative way to grab people’s attention. That’s what it felt like… In fact, the biggest reason is… ”
“What is the biggest reason?”
“… You don’t seem like that kind of person? I’m a physiognomist. ”
I believe that physiognomy is a science. Really.
After that there was a brief silence.
“Ah, ah… Th, what is that… !”
Ah. He laughed. Yunseol smiled brightly, almost revealing his gums.
As her eyes draw an arc, a tear that had been forming inside her eyes runs down her cheek.
I was wondering what to do if the mood suddenly became awkward, but fortunately, it seems she liked my answer.
My impressions after seeing her like that were,
‘You look prettier when you smile.’
It was.
***
After that, Yunseol seemed to feel noticeably better.
She seems determined to get completely drunk today, continuing to order cocktails, highballs, and liquor in that order.
From my perspective, it was a great thing because it increased sales…
“Hehehe…”
Just for the sake of liking it… isn’t that a bit too much?
I wonder if this is okay…
“Ugh. Give me some more.”
“… .”
And unfortunately, it wasn’t okay. The store, which used to have one customer and one store owner, soon changed to one drunk customer and one store owner. It was a dramatic change.
“The world is turning…! Wow.”
She was noticeably more tense than usual.
Currently, he is squirming around like a mollusc on the bar table.
‘Should I upload it on YouTube…?’
If I uploaded this scene as a video, it would easily get over a million views. Of course, I have no intention of doing that.
It is to protect the social honor of hero Yun Seol.
“Huh… … .”
I wish I could keep watching that sight, but it was too late.
Look at that. It’s already 3 a.m. The clock is pointing to the time when you should be sleeping at home.
It’s not like there’s anything big that happens if your sleeping time is delayed by an hour or two… that’s a normal thing.
Today, more than ten times the usual number of customers came to the store, so my body is already tired.
‘…I’m sleepy.’
If there is a meeting, there must also be a farewell. Now it was time for us to part ways.
“Customer. It’s almost closing time.”
“What’s the deadline…? Huh.”
“It means it’s time to go home.”
Yunseol shook her head after hearing what I said.
“I don’t want to go home… ?”
…I am?
