I Became a Villainous Character with a Limited Lifespan-Chapter 42
Episode 42
“Well, that’s enough. “What would be the point of talking about the past?”
Jaeyoung said with a face that wasn’t okay at all. This makes me rather anxious. Seunghyeon couldn’t reply and she looked at Jaeyoung with a suspicious look on her face.
As he expected, Jaeyoung did not answer that he was okay because he was really okay. But dwelling on the past only made me feel bad.
“Han Seung-hyun said he fucked me once, so that’s it.”
“When did I say that? “Don’t force yourself.”
Seunghyun blushed slightly at the explicit words. I was glad I didn’t jump out of my seat and deny it. It’s clear that he wanted that kind of reaction.
“What I don’t like is… Probably not. “I don’t really remember, but I did it because I wanted to.”
“Saying I didn’t like it and saying I liked it are not the same thing.”
“… “Why are we talking if you’re just going to hear what you want to hear?”
What remained in my vague memories was definitely a feeling of pleasure. But saying it out loud is a bit, no. It was quite a turn-off.
It’s a one-year relationship anyway. I think I can say it without any worries in front of other people. Strangely, that was difficult in front of Jaeyoung.
“It’s really okay. If you can’t remember, there’s nothing you can do. “The human head is not like a memory card, so there is no way to restore it.”
Seunghyun, who barely suppressed the urge to ask if that was the tone of a decent person, shook his head. What’s okay? If you’re going to say something like that, just stick your mouth in.
“To Han Seung-hyun, sleeping is nothing, is it?”
“If you keep talking like that, go home… .”
“It’s easy to do something that’s nothing special, the first time or the second or third time, right?”
Seunghyeon was about to tell him to go home if he was going to sulk like that, but his mouth was shut. It was an unexpected answer.
We became friends after a night out. It was a bit of a strange relationship from the beginning, but I never thought much about it. She thought that meeting new people would be a task anyway, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a relationship like this.
But if something like that happens a second or third time, can we still call them friends? No, in the first place, is it okay for friends to make such a suggestion?
I knew it was definitely strange. But I wouldn’t know if I accepted it right away. Seunghyeon had a hunch that if he refused in this atmosphere, his relationship with Jaeyoung would become awkward, let alone friends.
No matter what you think, don’t let it show. How long has it been since you said that? I know love and sex aren’t synonymous, but… .
“… … .”
But still, isn’t this the case? Seunghyeon hesitated for a moment. Even though I knew the correct answer, I hesitated, which was a wrong start.
“… Someday, if I want to do it again. Thinking about it then… .”
Seunghyeon bowed his head after making promises for the future. He thought that if he said there was no day he wanted to do, that would be enough, and the fact that he imagined that day in his mind was a moment that he did not even notice.

“Well, I wasn’t really close with the director… “My eyes are getting teary-eyed for no reason.”
“If you’re going to say something you don’t mean, then just don’t say anything.”
“Are you afraid to say a word?”
Hyukjae shrugged his shoulders and said. Most of the piles of documents on the desk were about Seunghyeon.
“The more I know, the more surprising it is. “I thought this secretary was an asshole who listened to Director Han.”
The source of the document was, of course, Seokhyeong. He handed over to Hyukjae not only Seunghyeon’s medical records, but also all the data on the company’s last processed and prepared work, and was looking at Hyukjae with eyes full of hostility rather than loyalty.
“I didn’t expect you to stab me like this… Our Director Han. “I wouldn’t have expected it.”
“I just do what He wants me to do.”
“well. Director Han seemed like he wanted to quit and take a break. Well, it’s not something you wouldn’t understand if you think about a typical move… . They say people change when they die, right? Oh, are you against that? anyway.”
Hyukjae looked over the documents with a face without the slightest sympathy or regret. Of course, Seokhyung’s sudden behavior did not cause any harm to him. I don’t know if it’s beneficial.
“They say it lasts a year at most, but you probably don’t want to take any money with you when you die anyway, so you might want to live a leisurely life now.”
“… “That can’t be possible.”
Seokhyung clenched his fists and denied Hyukjae’s words. That couldn’t have been possible. The Han Seunghyun he knew was not that kind of person.
“You may be confused right now and wandering around for a while. But he… “He is definitely not someone who would let everything go for that reason.”
The current Seunghyeon was very different from the Seunghyeon that Seokhyung knew, but Seokhyung firmly believed that it would only be a temporary change.
He couldn’t say that he was the person who had seen him the longest, but he was at least certain that he was the person who had seen him the closest.
Even the weak parts of that person that no one knows about, and the desire that cannot be let go until the moment one dies.
“Well, I am a person who cannot die alone even if it is unfair. Is this it?”
“… … .”
I think it’s a vulgar expression, but it wasn’t fundamentally different from what Seokhyung was thinking.
He was a person who could not bear the idea that his death would benefit others. If the future given to me was the same anyway, I would have acted without hesitation.
However, he would have thoroughly used what he had learned. Because he is a man with a lot of pride. Because he was someone who wanted to be recognized for his work.
“You may be confused right now, but… You will soon be back to normal. “Shouldn’t we prepare for that time?”
So, these materials will definitely be of great help to Seunghyeon in the future. He didn’t want to reveal Seunghyeon’s illness, but Jeong Hyeokjae was also a very suspicious person, so he couldn’t make a deal while hiding his cards.
“what. I’m fine. Anyway, I don’t care about HJ’s succession structure or anything… Because every single result is important right now. This secretary may not be loyal to me, but… “But the deal is clear, right?”
“… … .”
“Well, I know I’m good at this secretary job. “It would be nice to work together again next year.”
“I’ll think about it again later.”
Seokhyung answered without even blinking. One year later. I didn’t want it to come, but I couldn’t avoid time.
“So what’s the first card I’ll touch? The construction sector has the most data. hmm. “I think it would be more efficient to touch this one last.”
“All the data I have is based on the date of resignation, so it would be better not to waste time. The most urgent thing among them all is… “I guess it’s this way.”
Seokhyung said, pulling out a document. Hyukjae smiled after adjusting his glasses and checking the contents of the document.
“I didn’t know you wanted to touch this part of HJ too.”
“This is the field that Executive Director Taesung Han decided to launch, taking charge of everything from planning to overall management. “The time when it should be announced publicly will be around the end of next month.”
It was a new business plan for HJ Group that would be launched under the name of Taesung. Around the same time, the new business plan that Seunghyun was preparing was abolished with Chairman Han clucking his tongue, but Taesung’s was eventually approved and was on track to be launched before the end of the first quarter of next year.
“It looks like the crackdown is going well internally… Well, this is an area where it would be perfect to announce something like this before preparations are complete, only to end up being criticized for being tyrannical by a large company or something.”
“This is the area where we invest the most time, so once we shake it up, there will be a gap for a while.”
“There’s a reporter on my line. Can he contact me there?”
“It would be nice if we could meet once during the week.”
Seokhyung clearly remembered how frustrated and angry Seunghyeon was on that day when the two of them had mixed joys and sorrows.
In the first place, it was only a superficial opportunity, but I knew whose hand would be raised if it was a plan of similar perfection. So I prepared harder.
‘It was different from the time I read it.’
Seokhyung recalled Seunghyeon’s expression as he came out of the chairman’s office. He almost frowned for a moment, but Hyukjae’s office was like the middle of enemy territory to him.

‘If you look easy, you’ll be eaten in an instant. Don’t stop struggling. Then, even if you get hit once, you have to struggle until the end. ‘The moment you give up, you lose.’
The words I once heard from Seunghyeon made Seokhyung stand upright. He was right. The end comes the moment you give up.
“okay. “I can’t wait to see how happy they will be when they see what our director and talented secretary have prepared.”
Hyukjae, who couldn’t see the slightly furrowed eyebrows, laughed as if it was fun.
“I think Director Han and I are somewhat similar. So I think we’ll get along pretty well.”
Hyukjae, who was giggling for a while, wondering what was so funny, lightly tapped Seokhyeong on the shoulder. Seokhyeong did not respond and only slightly lowered his head.
