Yuri Lee couldn’t hide her shaking hands.

Minho’s signal returned to the house and the camera caught him entering through the window again, but she was unable to do anything.

Lee Yu-ri, who finished the video only after seeing him calmly change his clothes and lie down in bed again, thought quietly.

She calmly observed the villain bleeding and dying during the field test, but when it came to Minho, she couldn’t keep her composure with just the audio file.

‘Minho committed murder… Minho was the culprit who killed the stone golem.’

The photo that Lieutenant Seo Min-jeong showed me came to mind. A mark of a single letter, discolored dark blue, runs across the neck. The thing that killed the stone golem was probably Yuri Lee and the superpower weapon she made for Minho.

‘What should I do?’

Yuri Lee’s gaze briefly turned to the smartphone placed next to her. It contains Inspector Seo Min-jeong’s contact information.

If it were me two months ago, I would have reported the culprit without any hesitation.

But then, of course, that person is Minho…

‘Why on earth would you do this…’

Yuri Lee thought for a long time with her head wrapped around her head. A bunch of blue hair stuck out between my fingers.

Then I suddenly remembered the last words Minho muttered. A low sentence that I had forgotten because I learned such a shocking fact.

‘Now I won’t have to see my sisters stressed out at home.’

All clues pointed to one truth.

“It was because of me. Minho committed murder because of me…!”

When I think about it, Minho never came to his senses and expressed any particular interest in that villain. The only similar question is about the Civil Protection Act.

However, there was a time when he showed signs of discomfort when he saw the two sisters get angry because of Stone Golem’s interview.

Minho probably had that in mind. The reason they did not start work that day was probably to wait until the appropriate means and methods were in place.

To handle it quietly so as not to cause any harm to the Lee sisters.

“Why is it like this…”

Suddenly, Lee Yu-ri realized how little she knew about Minho.

One day, a lost man suddenly appeared in front of my house. A life of abuse until adulthood. I don’t know how horrible his life has been, but he doesn’t mention the details and just glosses over them, and he behaves differently from the ordinary man he sometimes feels.

Maybe Minho was trying to keep what he said before he lost his mind. He said he would repay Lee Yu-ri and Lee Hye-ri for saving his life.

The crime of murder done solely out of pure favor for these women.

Lee Yu-ri felt a tremendous sense of responsibility that she had never experienced before emerge from that contradictory sentence.

The enormity of it weighed down on Yu-ri Lee’s shoulders and made her feel helpless, but she shook her head vigorously to come to her senses.

Minho won’t know what he did wrong. It was clear that what happened was because that was the only way I knew.

‘Maybe it’s a method I learned from the criminals who abused Minho.’

The fishy taste of blood flowed from my lip, which I bit down with force without knowing.

The way of thinking that was already firmly ingrained in my brain until I became an adult was not something that could be changed just because someone close to me decided to change it.

If you use your hands hastily, the human mind may go even further astray.

No one can guarantee that something like this will not happen again.

In the worst case scenario, they may simply try to kill someone they bump into on the shoulder while walking down the street.

All Yuri can do now is to prevent Minho from going one step further and crossing the line.

At least make sure it doesn’t target good people.

You can say what Sun means at the point where he has already committed murder… but Minho, who took up a place in her heart, was much more important to Lee Yu-ri than such a villain.

The good news is that it appears that he did not do it for his own pleasure or with bad intentions.

Depending on how Lee Yu-ri guides Minho’s actions, it will be decided whether he will become another villain in the future or whether he will stop at being an anti-hero.

She closed her eyes tightly, placed the cursor over the saved file, and clicked.

-Are you sure you want to permanently delete this file?

Yes

Click

In this way, the evidence of Minho’s crime disappeared from the world.

***

After finishing my consultation with Hye-ri Lee, I returned to my room.

I was expecting a sweeter situation, but as if she hadn’t fallen that far yet, she quietly explained how dangerous the world and other women were.

It almost seemed like he regarded me as a younger brother or son.

When I think back to the eyes glancing at my body while I was explaining things, I don’t think it would last long.

smart

I was rolling around in bed when I heard a knock, sat down in my wheelchair and opened the door.

When I opened the door, I encountered Lee Yu-ri, who had an unusually serious expression on her face.

Recently, he always had a smile on his face whenever he saw me, but for some reason, he was in a very calm mood now.

It looks like a glimmer of worry on an expression as calm as blue hair.

“Talk to me for a moment.”

“Come in.”

Yuri Lee sat in front of the desk, locking the door behind her.

The sunlight shining through the curtained window illuminates her face. At times like this, Yuri Lee’s green eyes shine as transparent as emeralds.

As I was admiring the scene in a daze, Yuri erased her serious expression and burst into laughter.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because my sister’s eyes are pretty. It’s like a jewel.”

“Really… a boy shouldn’t do that to anyone. Nothing comes out of complimenting a woman like that. I just misunderstand it for no reason.”

He grumbles while slightly avoiding my gaze. Contrary to his cheerful image, when he shows a shy appearance like this, his cuteness seems to be amplified several times.

“I was just being honest. I didn’t do it to anyone, it’s Yuri’s sister.”

“Honestly……”

Yuri Lee, who had been licking her lips as if about to say something, became quiet.

‘The atmosphere is very different from usual.’

In my experience, these situations often lead to conversations about quite difficult topics.

Yuri Lee, who had hesitated several times, asked me with a firm expression.

“Minho. Then can you give me an honest answer?”

“……Of course.”

‘what? Were you caught taking a bath with Lee Hye-ri?’

He must have seen something in my actions and asked that question. The problem is that I have no idea what that something is.

I acted calmly while sweating profusely on the inside.

“Perhaps…”

gulp

It’s been a while since I used a high-speed accident and looked at Yu-ri Lee’s red lips. Her mouth slowly opened to spit out a question.

“Didn’t you go out the house last night, that is, early this morning?”

“Huh?”

‘Did you just come to ask because you were worried about my night out?’

It looks like he was caught secretly going out. Did he come to ask this because Inspector Seo Min-jeong lied when she came to see him earlier?

I nodded to the question, which was more ordinary than I expected.

“Uh, I went out for a moment.”

“May I ask where you have been?”

“That’s…”

It is a bit unfair to say that I went there to kill a stone golem.

Because Lee Yu-ri is basically a good person.

If they found out that I was a guy who had no hesitation about killing people, there was a possibility that they would distance themselves from me.

I got close to them and started living together, but it would be a bit heartbreaking if the relationship turned sour over something trivial like this.

Since we’ve become so close, they won’t hand me over to the police, but…

‘That won’t happen, will it?’

Yu-ri Lee sees my anxious eyes and hugs me.

wobble

“……?”

“Don’t worry, Minho. Sister understands everything.”

‘What do you understand…?’

“Killing the stone golem was all done for your sister, right?”

“Well, how do you do that?”

I was momentarily embarrassed and stuttered.

No, how on earth did you find out just by sneaking out at night?

“I was able to find out thanks to the equipment installed on the suit.”

“Ah…”

I guess there was a way to know my condition not only from the pulse drone, but also from the suit.

Yuri Lee released her hugging position, stretched out her arms, and firmly grasped my shoulders.

“This sister doesn’t know exactly what you went through, Minho. So, when I saw him always looking bright at home, I thought this was it.”

The emerald-colored, transparent eyes that looked straight into the eyes were filled with moisture and sprinkled with shattered light.

“I didn’t even know what kind of scars I had inside… I ignored the fact that the scars on my heart could hurt more.”

Through the will that was conveyed through Yu-ri Lee’s hands, I was able to see how much she had thought about this topic in a short period of time.

“Thank you for stepping up for my sister. However, I definitely don’t want Minho to be in danger fighting the villain alone.”

“If… if something like this happens again… could you tell your sister first?”

She asked me with a trembling voice.

I wasn’t telling them why they did that, that it was a bad thing, or that they shouldn’t commit a crime. Yuri Lee saw me as a wounded soul and declared that she would embrace everything.

Even if it means breaking the law.

“……”

No matter how interested you are, feeling the love of someone who touches you with such sincerity is heartbreaking.

Moreover, she is a good character already guaranteed by the original work. There must have been a lot of internal conflict before compromising this much for me.

Lee Yu-ri, who used to feel immature compared to Lee Hye-ri, now looks more mature than anyone else.

“Sure, Yuri. I’m sorry for causing you worry.”

“……Okay. This is it for now.”

Yuri Lee hugged me again and patted my back.

It wasn’t a bad feeling.

“But sister.”

“Huh?”

“By any chance, have you been filming my room all this time?”

“Ugh…!”

Yuri Lee’s face turned red as she was caught off guard.

That sight was so hilarious that I couldn’t hold back my laughter.

“Ahahaha…!”
