The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today chapter 11

11 – The Weight of a Hero (2)

Wooong─

Hanyul Military Academy Hospital, underground laundry room.

Choi Soeun, using the rotating laundry as an excuse, sipped on a beer.

Gulp, gulp.

It was the beer confiscated from Shin Yoonseong earlier. Since it would be a waste to throw it away, she decided to drink it herself.

Anyway, it’s already dawn. It’s not like she’s on emergency duty today, so having a can of beer shouldn’t be a big problem.

“Feeling stifled….”

She boldly let down the hairband that held her hair in place. Additionally, she removed the cold cross mark from her right arm.

“Are you jealous by any chance?”

In an instant, Shin Yoon-seong’s voice flashed through her mind.

When she first heard those words, she was honestly a bit surprised. She couldn’t have imagined that the word “jealousy” would come out of his mouth.

So far, Choi So-min had only pushed Shin Yoon-seong away. Even in front of extravagant bouquets of flowers and passionate proposals, Choi So-min had not even flinched.

But suddenly, there was jealousy.

Such a feeling was only possible when there was affection towards the other person. And there was absolutely no affection towards Shin Yoon-seong.

To prove that, she even hugged him herself. The result was exactly as Choi So-min had anticipated.

There was no fluttering of the heart. She couldn’t even feel a hint of tenderness. This meant that it was not love.

“Kyaah…! S-S-Sorry…! For coming in without even realizing…!”

However.

In that moment when Arna appeared, it was different. For some reason, she could feel a change in her body.

Her tightly closed mind felt refreshed, and something that had been bottled up in her chest felt like it burst open.

She could also taste a slight sense of exhilaration, just like when she received an A+ on a midterm exam.

Why on earth?

When she hugged Shin Yoon-seong quietly, her heart was calm. But why did it fluctuate so much when Arna appeared?

Choi So-min couldn’t understand either.

Truly, it was an emotion she had never felt before.

“….”

In the end, Choi So-min couldn’t find an answer. No matter how much she racked her brain, she couldn’t come up with a precise definition for this feeling.

She just tightly held on to the lukewarm beer can.

***

“I’ve never felt this kind of emotion towards anyone before. Hiromi, I love you.”

From Noble mtl dot com

“Takuto… You finally said it. I love you too.”

“Oh my goodness…!”

At the same time, at Hanryul Military Academy’s dormitory.

Arna was lying on her bed, enjoying a manga.

The title was “The Boy Who Doesn’t Move” and it was a pure love manga that she recently purchased through the internet.

Just for your information, there are a lot of explicit scenes in it.

This, too, is Arna’s personal taste.

“The next volume…! Where is the next volume…?”

Arna headed off, sneezing, to find the next volume.

Unfortunately, the one she was looking at now was the latest edition. She had already finished binge-watching it.

“Ugh…”

A moment of sheer disappointment. She had thought they would finally be honest with each other and share a tender scene after so long.

It seemed she would have to wait until the next release after all.

“But still, it feels like it’s been a while since I’ve indulged in a proper masterpiece.”

Clutching her comic books tightly to her chest, Arna made her way to the closet.

Swoosh!

She pushed aside the hanging clothes to reveal a towering stack of comic books behind the flashy attire.

“These have collector’s value, I’m sure.”

Arna’s secret hobby: collecting romance comics.

Just a reminder, they were all rated 19+. Arna didn’t bother with anything less mature.

Thunk.

Today, too, she fortified her heart and closed the closet gingerly after tilting her head once.

“Sigh…”

She flopped onto her bed immediately. A sudden sense of emptiness began to engulf her.

It was inevitable. She had just awakened from the world of comics.

In the world of Takuto and Hiromi, there were no grotesque monsters or demons. Hence, she could focus solely on love.

Arna felt envious of that aspect.

“Will I ever… experience something like love?”

She wasn’t familiar with love. Being someone who hadn’t experienced relationships or even unrequited love, Arna was clueless about it.

All she knew was from comics.

That’s how little time Arna had for herself.

No time to love someone.

Just looking at her schedule for tomorrow was a nightmare.

After regular classes, she had to go to the broadcasting station for filming. Then there was a sports attire photo shoot.

And that wasn’t all. Upon returning to the dorm, she still had to catch up on personal training and studies she hadn’t been able to do.

Truly, 24 hours were insufficient. In this scenario, when would she ever try something like love?

“But… that person was doing it, weren’t they…”

Because of love, the man who comes to mind, Shin Yoonseong.

I saw him briefly when I went to the hospital earlier. I saw Shin Yoonseong embracing a certain woman.

At that moment, I was so surprised that I couldn’t even speak properly and hurriedly ran away. I fled without saying a word.

“…”

Thinking back, it was absurd. Why did I have to blush and leave the place as if Arnah had done something wrong?

In essence, the hospital is a public place. Engaging in affectionate acts there was inappropriate.

It’s all Shin Yoonseong’s fault.

“The other person is clearly…”

But what was even more astonishing than Shin Yoonseong himself was the other person.

Even with just a quick glance, I could tell who it was. The other person belonged to the medical corps, Choi Soeun.

I’ve never really talked to her, but I was familiar with her face.

Well, she was also the daughter of Hero Management Department Director Choi Changhwan. If you were a student at this school, you wouldn’t be unaware of her.

“When did this start…?”

Certainly, I heard they weren’t in a romantic relationship. It was a one-sided unrequited love where one person pursued love.

Arnah was well aware of that. You could find out from the school’s community.

But upon closer inspection, the community’s talk was all false rumors. Arnah saw it clearly. The two of them embracing each other affectionately.

“No way…!”

Was this the secret romance I had only heard about?

Come to think of it, not long ago, Shin Yoonseong had requested an ambulance. Was this all a setup to meet Soeun?

Were they secretly having dates in the hospital room?

“Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable…!”

Something that seemed only fit for a pure love comic was actually happening. My face started feeling hot for no reason.

At this very moment, they must be… passionately on the bed…

“…”

Wait.

Suddenly, a sense of reality began to overwhelm me.

The heat that had surged suddenly subsided. The muscles on my face stiffened.

No. Think about it.

What kind of behavior had this man, Shin Yoonseong, shown towards me all this time?

He had always been a nuisance to me. Wherever Arnah was, wherever she went, he always chased after her and picked fights.

Because of that, Arna felt like she had wasted time, emotions, more than just a bit.

But!

“I’m the only one suffering like this!”

Will you secretly have a relationship alone?

Will you find happiness alone?

“Ha!”

I can’t believe it. How can someone be so shameless? It’s really annoying, I can’t stand it.

If they dare start an argument next time, I should genuinely confront them. There’s no intention of accommodating them. I’ll make it impossible for them to get away with anything.

“Ugh…”

This won’t do. I’m too upset to sleep at all.

Arna opened her closet again and took out all the volumes of “The Mechanical Boy Does Not Move,” which she had binge-read earlier.

It’s a review of anger.

***

“Thank you.”

After a simple discharge procedure in the morning, she decided to head straight to the classroom.

Her body had recovered to some extent. There’s no more body ache now. It shouldn’t be too difficult to attend lectures.

“Hmm…”

The only concern might be that the classroom she’s heading to is an indoor training room….

It’s a bit risky to roll around right after being discharged. Today, I’ll just observe.

“Hey, Spoon!”

As soon as she entered the classroom, out of nowhere, Tattoo Guy thrust his face forward.

Look at that stern expression. Is this what a person in their 20s looks like? Did time punch them directly in the face? Shouldn’t they check his ID once?

“What’s up?”

“Did you really see the future?”

He suddenly brought up the future, and I wondered what he was talking about.

Upon reflection, I recalled a conversation I had with Tattoo Guy before.

Back then, I mentioned that seeing the future was possible. I must have shared some information about genetic mutations specifically with him.

Later, when it became reality, Tattoo Guy widened his eyes and dashed towards me.

“Well, if it’s about the future, I can see bits and pieces of it.”

“Really!”

The tattooed guy was astonished. His face looked even uglier when he wrinkled it. This guy definitely aged.

“Well then, lottery numbers! Tell me the lottery numbers for this week!”

“I already said. Only brief things are possible. I don’t even know the lottery numbers.”

“Ah, come on. Then, do you have any money-making information?”

Why should I tell this guy?

Well, I guess I can give him one bonus. As I kept looking at him, I started to feel a bit attached to his face.

“Alright. I’ll give you a clean sports tip.”

“Oh, sports! Great! What’s the sport?”

“Baseball. The Korean Series champion this year will be the Busan Giants.”

“What…?”

At the mention of the Busan Giants winning, the tattooed guy turned his head. A menacing expression on his face.

“Giants? Are you sure you didn’t mistakenly mention the Tokyo Giants from the neighboring country?”

“No. It’s definitely the Busan Giants.”

Suddenly, the tattooed guy grabbed his stomach and started laughing.

“Heh… hahahaha…! Busan Giants are trash…! A team of bastards who haven’t won a championship in the 21st century… Ridiculous…!”

Thud─!

Suddenly, a huge fist flew in. The fist accurately struck the tattooed guy’s waist. Soon, he was slammed into the wall.

“Oh my god…! What have you done to my precious student…! But… I can’t tolerate insults to the Giants…!”

A thunderous voice. A sturdy physique that matched the impact of the giant fist. A face rough enough to be called a gangster.

Wearing the sky-blue Busan Giants uniform, and even with an orange scarf tied around his head.

His name, Combat Specialist and Drill Instructor Geumgye Jun, appeared.

By the way, he’s also known as “Boner Crusher.”
