“Thick, imposing…”

Just the touch of Seonghan’s thick arm on her shoulder made her insides quiver.

Knowing that her shoulder was being held by Seonghan made her heart race.

“Follow me.”

“Y-yes…”

It was the same as last time.

Just being in front of Seonghan made honorifics slip out of her mouth involuntarily.

Her head seemed to bow down to Seonghan on its own.

Maybe even her body.

Even when the hand that held her shoulder slowly moved down to touch her chest, she didn’t resist.

“No, anyway…”

Resistance was impossible from the moment her shoulder was grabbed.

Her ability to run fast was useless once she was caught.

Yes, now she was no different from an ordinary woman.

Feeling the helplessness of being unable to resist, strangely, even that helplessness felt strangely pleasant.

The fact that she was no different from a weak woman somehow made her heart flutter.

That’s why she kept using honorifics with Seonghan, trembling and shaking her legs.

Weaknesses she would never show under normal circumstances kept popping up in front of Seonghan.

Every time Seonghan looked down at her like that, her spine shivered.

Seonghan led her into the bathroom.

Perhaps because it was an expensive hotel, the bathroom was spacious and seemed soundproof.

We cautiously entered the bathroom.

From the moment we entered, even the sound of our skin brushing against each other seemed to echo twice.

Clunk.

Seonghan closed the door as it was.

Now there was no escape.

In the completely sealed space, Seonghan slowly approached her and pressed her against the wall.

Seonghan smiled as he gently lifted her chest with his palm.

“It’s surprisingly big. What cup size are you?”

“Uh… I-I don’t know…”

“Wow…”

This kind of conversation was new to her, and just answering made her face flush.

She always concealed her chest with shirts and leather jackets, but in reality, her chest was on the larger side.

That’s why just a few hours ago, these heavy lumps had felt annoying.

At one point, she even considered breast reduction surgery. Without them, she felt like she could run much better.

But now, looking at Seonghan admiring her chest, she felt grateful for it.

“Open your mouth.”

“Ah…uh…uh…”

Suddenly told to open her mouth, she was flustered, but her mouth opened on its own.

Seonghan grabbed her chin with his hand and pressed his lips against hers.

‘First kiss…’

There’s a saying that the first kiss tastes like fruit and you can hear bells ringing.

But those were all lies.

However, in reality, she could taste Minji’s lipstick on Seonghan’s lips, and only lewd sounds echoed in the bathroom.

The taste of lipstick made her nauseous, and the kissing sound in the bathroom was much better than loud bells.

So when Seonghan pulled his lips away, she felt disappointed.

Unconsciously, she traced Seonghan’s face with her eyes.

“Turn around.”

“Y-yes…”

She pushed out her hips and held her breath.

Not being able to see made it even more vivid in her imagination.

The brutal and masculine image of Seonghan’s penis wildly stirring her up kept coming to mind.

Just that alone—

“You’re wet.”

“Ah…”

She felt embarrassed.

The lewd sound of her vagina being touched by Seonghan resonated throughout the bathroom.

Her face was already red and on the verge of bursting.

As if comforting herself, Seonghan gently stroked her vagina with his palm.

That was all he did.

“Ah…don’t…”

Her legs trembled.

Legs that were fine even after running for hours trembled at the mere touch of Seonghan’s palm.

If she hadn’t leaned against the bathroom wall, she would have already collapsed to the floor.

A tingling sensation spread throughout my body like a contagious pleasure.

“What is this…”

Not letting my body collapse under the overwhelming sensation, I supported my abdomen with my large palm, while my other hand caressed my body more intensely.

“Ah…something…more…ah♡”

As the tension in my legs eased, my head momentarily felt dizzy.

My body trembled as if cold, yet paradoxically, it was incredibly warm, unlike anything I had ever felt before.

My mind was filled with nothing but pleasure.

It felt like my body and mind were being conquered by pleasure.

“Is it good?”

“It’s good…”

“You seem more obedient now compared to when I first saw you?”

“Well, I was being arrogant back then…”

Seonghan remembered that time.

When he caught the bald villain, he arrogantly spoke informally to Seonghan and threatened not to let him go if he ever saw him again.

He regretted his arrogance in the past.

“Kiss…”

As if apologizing, I licked Seonghan’s hand affectionately.

“Well, from now on, be kind to people.”

“Yes…”

Although I really didn’t want to, I felt like I could do anything if it was Seonghan’s request.

“Then let’s start now.”

The moment I had been waiting for had arrived.

***

I woke up with a slightly uncomfortable feeling.

Having come in second place due to Seonghan’s push, I couldn’t even sleep comfortably.

I stayed up all night waiting for Chae Gaeun’s call. With a heavy heart, I fell asleep, and as soon as it was lunchtime, I headed to the cafe under the Guardian agency.

“There…huh?”

In the cafe, Minji and Gaeun were casually drinking coffee as usual.

But something was different.

Minji hadn’t changed, but Chae Gaeun had changed drastically.

From a distance, she looked like a different person.

Her outfit was different.

Instead of the leather jacket and t-shirt she always wore, she was wearing a form-fitting suit, and the gloves that reminded me of boxing gloves had been replaced with thin gloves that I could feel the long fingers through.

Chae Gaeun, who usually didn’t care about others’ opinions, had never dressed like this before.

But that wasn’t the only thing that had changed.

“Makeup…”

Chae Gaeun’s appearance had changed a lot.

Even though she was already beautiful, there were compliments about her beauty everywhere.

But seeing Chae Gaeun with makeup on, she was even more beautiful than all those compliments combined.

Her light pink lips, sharp features, and flawless skin enhanced by makeup stood out even more.

One thing was for sure, she was no longer a woman with neutral charm.

Chae Gaeun exuded femininity.

In just one day.

Just one day had passed.

“Why?”

She didn’t dislike the change in her appearance.

The direction of her charm had changed, but Chae Gaeun was undoubtedly much more beautiful than yesterday.

That much was beyond doubt.

But she couldn’t understand why this change had happened.

That fact scared her.

What had stimulated her to change without her knowledge?

Who could have changed Chae Gaeun?

“…”

Come to think of it, Minji had changed slowly as well.

She had become even more beautiful than when she was a villain.

Why?

Could it be because of him?

No, then why Chae Gaeun?

Could it be that his touch reached Chae Gaeun as well?

As the thought went that far, she shook her head to clear her mind.

Chae Gaeun wouldn’t do that.

She was not only not in a relationship, but Chae Gaeun saw him as a friend and colleague.

It couldn’t happen in just one day.

Summoning her courage, she approached slowly.

After having a conversation with Chae Gaeun, she found that she didn’t attack her even when she approached her at the cafe.

Today, Chae Gaeun even smiled softly at her.

‘Ugh…’

Just that smile felt like her heart was going to explode.

Chae Gaeun was smiling at her.

Awkward yet captivating, a feeling of being enchanted by the appearance of the gumiho washed over him.

In truth, the woman in front of him might not be Choi Gaeun, but rather the gumiho.

That thought crossed his mind.

“Oh, you’re here.”

“Uh, but why the formal language…”

Unfamiliar honorifics flowed from Choi Gaeun’s lips.

Her tone carried a kindness that was not present before.

“Ah… I’m trying to be kind to people from now on.”

“…”

Being kind to people.

Surely, as a hero, it was the right thing to do, but it didn’t feel like Choi Gaeun.

And it was frustrating to think of himself as part of those ‘people.’

Despite having countless conversations in the past few weeks, it felt like they had grown distant overnight.

“It’s, it’s okay. You can speak comfortably to me.”

“…Really?”

“Yeah.”

Returning to informal speech brought a sense of relief.

“So, what’s up?”

“Oh… I was wondering about the meal we talked about before.”

“Ah…”

Gaeun faintly smiled at her own words and locked eyes with Minji.

Minji also set down her coffee and smiled.

They were beautiful smiles, but somehow he felt left out.

“Perfect timing.”

And Minji pointed with her finger to one side.

The man he least wanted to see was leisurely walking towards them.

Seonghan, who had defeated him and become an A-rank hero.

Looking back, everything revolved around that man, Seonghan.

From not being able to become an A-rank to the slow progress in his relationship with Choi Gaeun.

Perhaps if that man hadn’t been there, even with Minji…

“Were you in the middle of a conversation?”

“Huh? Oh, it’s nothing.”

Minji glanced at him briefly and warmly greeted Seonghan.

The words ‘it’s nothing’ stung his heart.

But Seonghan’s steps didn’t falter.

He passed by Minji and approached Choi Gaeun.

‘…No, it can’t be.’

A moment of anxiety washed over him.

He wanted to reach out and stop him, but yesterday’s memories resurfaced, freezing his hand.

As he hesitated, Seonghan reached Choi Gaeun.

“Open your mouth.”

“…Yes…”

“Ah…”

His words were almost like a command.

Despite that, Choi Gaeun obediently opened her mouth without showing any discomfort, resembling a pet with its owner.

The two shared a kiss.

It was only then that he realized.

There was no longer a place for him to intervene.

The Choi Gaeun in front of him was no longer the person he knew.

Her transformation was all because of that guy.

He had already been replaced.

Both Minji and Choi Gaeun.

In an instant, his life flashed before his eyes like a shooting star.

Being a fan of theirs, he didn’t mind becoming the villain, nor did he hesitate to become a hero.

But now, looking back…

If he hadn’t become the villain, if he had just watched from afar as a fan.

He wouldn’t have witnessed this scene unfolding before his eyes.

“I, I’m going to go…”

He turned on his heels as if fleeing.

No one turned back to stop him as he ran away.
