I Became a Villainous Character with a Limited Lifespan - Episode 85

Episode 85

“Will the plane even take off tomorrow with this?”

“According to the forecast… it seems like the plane will take off, but we’ll have to leave a bit early.”

Jae-young said while looking out the window. It snowed a bit at night and then stopped, so he thought it would be fine, but when he woke up, it was snowing heavily to the point where he couldn’t see properly in front of him.

“But it’ll be hard to go out today. Even if we do, it’ll be evening at the earliest.”

Seung-hyun threw himself back on the bed. He was starting to like snow a little, but at the sight of the snow pouring down enough to make him sick, that thought was quickly withdrawn.

“I didn’t know we’d end up being trapped for half the time.”

Jae-young muttered softly. Honestly, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to be isolated. That’s why he intentionally came during a time with heavy snowfall, a little far from the city center…

‘But everything needs to be in moderation.’

“It’s too bad.”

Jae-young said with sincerity. He had racked his brain for nothing and ended up tying himself up too. Spending time with Seung-hyun in this room was nice, but he preferred seeing Seung-hyun’s eyes sparkle a little with slightly reddened cheeks from the cold, which he had seen for two days.

However, Seung-hyun wasn’t as disappointed as that. It wasn’t that he disliked walking around for two days, but it was a bit tiring to walk around for days for the first time in a while. It was a bit disappointing that there was no choice, but it didn’t seem bad to think of it as a hotel vacation.

“I guess we’ll just have to rest in the room today.”

“Won’t it be stuffy? Ah, shall we rent the pool one more time?”

Seung-hyun recalled what had happened a few days ago at those words and shook his head. It was nice to just float around in the water thoughtlessly, but now it seemed like that day would come to mind just by looking at the swimming pool.

If it showed even a little, it was obvious how much he would be teased, so Seung-hyun just burrowed a little more into the fluffy mattress.

“I was a bit tired too, so let’s think of it as a day to rest.”

“You’re tired?”

Jae-young approached Seung-hyun with a worried face. He was tired just from walking around for two days, so he was worried that it might be related to his illness.

From Jae-young’s point of view, who felt refreshed, let alone tired, even if he walked around outside for a week, it was only natural to be worried.

“Are you sick somewhere? You don’t have a fever. Do we need to go to the hospital?”

But to Seung-hyun, it just felt like excessive worry. On top of walking around for two days, they did something similar to exercise inside the day before, even though they didn’t go out, so wasn’t it natural to be tired?

“What’s the fuss? I’m just a little tired.”

“Who gets tired just from walking around for a few days?”

“What?”

Seung-hyun asked back in disbelief. The fact that he said it with such a serious expression made him feel even more strange.

“Don’t think that everyone in the world has the same stamina as you, Jae-young.”

“Isn’t it usually like that for most people?”

“Look at the difference in our bodies. The difference in our bodies.”

Seung-hyun stretched out his arm while lying down and firmly pressed on Jae-young’s stomach. The stomach with solid muscles didn’t sink much and bounced his fingers off.

“You can’t compare someone with this much muscle to an average person, can you?”

Although the muscles weren’t prominent on the outside, Seung-hyun, who had seen his naked body several times, knew how well-defined and firm the muscles under these clothes were.

The stamina of a body like that and Seung-hyun’s stamina, who had been avoiding exercise, were bound to be different. Seung-hyun said to Jae-young, who had a face that couldn’t understand.

“If I had this much muscle, I wouldn’t be tired even if I walked around not just for days, but for weeks.”

“Do you want to exercise together? I can teach you.”

“No. I have no interest in exercise.”

“Not all exercise is the same, and if you try this and that, you might find something that suits your taste, right?”

“I don’t want to.”

Seung-hyun said bluntly. He didn’t like exercise itself, but there was also the doctor’s advice not to overdo it, and if he found something he liked, it seemed like the regret would be greater than the joy.

“You seem to be desperate because you can’t move your body, so then go exercise alone and come back. I need to rest.”

Jae-young, who was suddenly kicked out of the room with only his cell phone, blankly lingered outside the door. Was he really kicked out? Jae-young, who had been staring at the closed door without a key, checked the message when his cell phone vibrated.

[Seung-hyun: I feel a bit sluggish, so go cool off and come back. We’ll have lunch at 12, so you can return then.] 9:52 a.m.

Jae-young, who smiled slightly at Seung-hyun who had kindly written down the time to return, headed to the elevator. Although he still thought he was too weak, he had confirmed that he wasn’t sick, so it seemed like he should go exercise alone as he said.

“It would be nice to do it together.”

Although it failed today, he should coax him soon and increase his stamina a bit. It would be good for both Seung-hyun and himself.

“It finally got a bit quiet.”

Although he didn’t dislike being together, he needed time alone after all. Seung-hyun picked up the remote and turned on the TV.

Seung-hyun, who had been fiddling with the remote while turning on a broadcast he couldn’t understand, found out that he could connect the OTT site to the TV.

It took some time, but Seung-hyun, who finally succeeded in logging in, changed the language settings and began browsing the movie list. He was thinking of watching a movie leisurely with the TV on for the first time in a while.

A movie he roughly picked from the top of the ranking just by looking at the poster and title started playing. Seung-hyun watched the movie in a comfortable position, wrapped in a fluffy blanket.

The movie began with the fresh first love of high school protagonists. An alpha and a beta. But the two fell for each other regardless of their traits, and although they didn’t confirm they were lovers, they were spending time in a tingling atmosphere that was more than friends.

However, there would be no story development in a movie if there was no crisis. The problem was those damn traits. No, it might have been the insecurity of the beta side rather than the traits.

[“I wish I was an omega. Then our relationship wouldn’t have become so difficult like this.”]

The two people who clearly had special feelings for each other, only without the word lovers. The beta protagonist comes to think that the reason their relationship isn’t developing into lovers is because of their trait.

The real reason was that the alpha protagonist was afraid of becoming more than friends and losing even their current relationship, but the insecurity grew in the misconception that they would understand without saying it, and in the end, the beta protagonist makes the wrong choice.

[“I want to become an omega.”]

At a time when illegal surgery to change traits was in vogue, of course, that surgery was an absurd scam, but it was before the fact that the surgery was a scam was known. So he gets the necessary tests for the surgery, and through that test, he finds out that there is something wrong with his body.

Soon, the truth that the surgery is bogus is revealed, but that doesn’t improve the protagonist’s health condition. Hearing that he may not live long, the protagonist chooses to lie to the person he likes.

Conflict between the protagonists escalates at the words that he had surgery to become an omega but had side effects. The alpha says what’s so great about traits that he did such a stupid thing, and the beta says what do you know when you were born with the alpha trait.

‘…I thought it would be an emotional story, but it just seems like a mess…’

Seung-hyun thought that while hugging the pillow. Although he thought it was a mess, it had its own fun as a mess, so he continued watching the movie without touching the remote.

[“Are you really stupid? What’s so great about that? When did I ever say I don’t like you because you’re a beta?”

“Yeah. I’m stupid. I’m stupid, so isn’t that why I ruined my life like this? My ruined life, I’ll deal with it myself, so don’t care about it anymore.”

“…There will be a way. So…”

“Even if there is a way, what does that have to do with you? I, I didn’t like that you were an alpha. And now that it’s come to this, I don’t just dislike that you’re an alpha, I find it terrible. So let’s not see each other anymore.”]

The beta protagonist was so innocent throughout the movie that he seemed a bit stupid, and it was easy to guess that he would come across as a bad image to the people who watched the movie. Seung-hyun picked up his cell phone and searched for the name of the movie.

[It was pretty fun, but in the middle, Jae-ha was so frustrating that I thought I was going crazy]

[If Jae-ha had a little more common sense, the story wouldn’t have gone around in circles]

[Jae-ha is like this because he’s the protagonist, otherwise seriously…]

[Looking at the cover, it seems like an emotional story, but I seriously wanted to hit Jae-ha]

As expected, in the movie’s review section, it wasn’t uncommon to see curses at the beta protagonist. Although there were aspects that seemed a little, no, a lot stupid to Seung-hyun as well…

‘But then what choice should he make to be sensible and not frustrating?’

Seung-hyun couldn’t sharply criticize that protagonist for some reason. Then what is the common sense that people think of? With many thoughts, Seung-hyun couldn’t even pause the movie and just blankly stared at his cell phone for a moment.
