I Became a Villainous Character with a Limited Lifespan-Chapter 71
Episode 71
One week from Christmas to the end of the year. Time passed quickly for Jaeyoung and slowly for Seunghyeon.
When Jaeyoung was asked if he should show up for all the events held during the year-end and New Year holidays and spend time with his family, he was called. Jaeyoung often called Seunghyeon because she was under subtle pressure to get married and was asked if she had any information from Seunghyeon.
“So, are you still at home?”
―I don’t know if this is a conversation between family members or an interrogation, as they say we should spend time together as a family. really.
“But better than this family gathering… .”
-hmm… I guess so.
Half of the nonsense conversation consisted of Seunghyun comforting a crying Jaeyoung, but that alone was enjoyable.
Before that, I was a little hesitant to contact him for no reason, but I don’t feel that way now. It seemed like the memories of Christmas Eve spent together had made people a little softer.
“But there isn’t much left now.”
It was the last day of the year. It also meant that there was not much time left until the two left the country. It wouldn’t be the first time for ‘Han Seung-hyun’, but it was Seung-hyun’s first overseas trip, so I was a little excited.
No, maybe I was more excited about leaving with Jaeyoung.
-is it so. Just tomorrow, no. Until the day after tomorrow… .
Jaeyoung spoke in a slightly tired voice. Although she had a playful feel to her, there was definitely a hint of exhaustion in her voice as the day went by.
“Is the family gathering the last thing on your agenda today?”
―A group meeting held in the evening under the guise of a brief social gathering… ah.
Jaeyoung paused for a moment. This evening, Jaeyoung was forced to participate in a gathering that was said to be a year-end party for social networking, but which brought together single men and women, alphas and omegas, hoping to make eye contact.
-It’s just a small place.
“I didn’t say anything… .”
I didn’t think anything of it, but it was a little funny to see him twitching his feet. I know that I’m not going because I want to go, and I know that I don’t really want to go.
“I think something is stabbing me.”
I felt like I wanted to make fun of him for no reason. Jaeyoung jumped at Seunghyeon’s words.
-Do I look like that kind of person?
“well. I don’t know much about Joo Jae-young yet… .”
Jaeyoung belatedly calmed down at the tone of his tone, which was clearly teasing. If I had made fun of someone else with words like this, I would have made fun of them, but I am not the type to be made fun of.
-Don’t make fun of me. I don’t really want to go either. Shouldn’t we go to a place like this to manage future personal connections because we can clearly see what’s going on? .
“yes yes. All right.”
Seunghyun said with a slight smile. Is my love of joking transferred to the people I’m with? Even after I hung up the phone, I felt fine.
I knew this peace wouldn’t last that long. So for now, I just wanted to enjoy the peace without thinking about anything.
After Seok-hyung dropped the bomb and left, I didn’t know how, but I received several calls from a different number. Since it was an unknown number, I couldn’t figure out who it was, but I thought that whoever it was, it might be there, so I blocked every call I received.
Rather than that, I wanted to think about the upcoming trip next week. Seunghyeon had pointedly mentioned the name Sapporo, so I did some research to find out what kind of place it was.
I only knew that it snowed a lot, but this place was more famous for snow than I thought. It made me wonder how it could snow this much.
‘… Are your eyes that good?’
When Jaeyoung said that there was really nothing to see but snow, Seunghyeon wondered if he really liked snow that much. He took out the passport he had found a while ago and opened it.
“You’ve gone a long way.”
Considering that Han Seung-hyun used to board planes almost like eating, he shouldn’t have shown that he was unfamiliar with it, but as the date approached, he seemed a little excited.
Of course, among Han Seung-hyun’s numerous departures, there was not a single departure for travel or vacation. All business trips, business trips, business trips.
At first, I wondered why I worked so hard and worked so hard for no reward… These records looked a little different now.
‘With a family like that, it might have been better not to have one.’
We can’t undo what happened… It was clearly not himself, but the people surrounding him, who created ‘Han Seung-hyun’, who was overcome by evil and did not know how to stop.
If I had asked for some time to cool off, I could have ended my life quietly, but that was the reason why I made a fuss.
“They probably won’t thank you for that.”
However, I couldn’t tell if it could really be said to be for Han Seung-hyun’s benefit. He was like a truck with broken brakes. After hearing Seok-hyung’s declaration of war, I became even more certain.
‘Just because you understand his life doesn’t mean you have to follow his actions.’
Seunghyeon put his passport back where it was. So far, he could spend the remaining time in peace, at least until what Seokhyung was preparing occurred.
So for now, you should cherish the remaining time and live as if anxiety never happened in the first place. Seunghyeon quietly spent the last day of the year trying to erase his anxiety from his mind.

“… … .”
The first day of the much-anticipated trip ended in a completely futile way, contrary to expectations. I knew that it was a place famous for snow and that it snowed a lot… .
“I won’t be able to leave like this.”

Still, isn’t this too much? Seunghyeon sighed as he looked at his eyes, which were swirling so hard that he could not see clearly.
When I arrived, I thought it might snow a little, but as soon as I got to the hotel, a snowstorm started to rage. I can’t do anything like this.
“Iknow, right.”
However, Jaeyoung did not have a very sad expression on his face. I was the one who asked to come, so why did I have such a calm face? Seunghyun, who felt a little offended, glared at Jaeyoung slightly.
“The hotel is a nice place, so I can just relax today.”
For some reason, he seemed more satisfied with not being able to go out. I didn’t really want to come, but if I had already come, I should have paid for it. Seunghyeon walked after Jaeyoung with a disapproving look on his face.
As Jaeyoung said, the hotel was a good place with no flaws. Although a snowstorm was raging outside, it was extremely peaceful inside.
“Have you ever been here?”
“Even though I’m like this, I’m the person who will inherit the hotel business, so I go here and there to study.”
Jaeyoung joked. It wasn’t entirely wrong.
“I’m sure you’ve already packed your bags, so let’s eat first. “There is a restaurant with a nice view.”
“I can only see the eyes, but the foreground has meaning… .”
“There’s really no romance. “Mr. Han Seung-hyun.”
But what can you do when you can only see with your eyes? I thought my eyes felt a little better because of the memories of Christmas, but that wasn’t the case. But since there was nothing he could do, Seunghyeon eventually nodded his head.
“Of course. “I can’t go out anyway.”
When I went upstairs, I found a restaurant with full walls of windows. A blizzard was raging, and the foreground was a sight worth seeing.
“How would you like to eat?”
An employee who could speak Korean responded to me and Jaeyoung. Jaeyoung ordered in a familiar manner. Now that I know Seunghyeon’s tastes inside out, ordering wasn’t difficult.
“Oh, I understand there is a nut topping here, is that correct?”
“yes. Nuts are included in both of these menus. “Do you have any allergies?”
“I’m not allergic, but I want you to avoid it as much as possible.”
“yes. I will forward it to the kitchen.”
As the employee disappeared with the order form, Seunghyeon looked at Jaeyoung for a moment. He doesn’t like nuts, I think it was something he said in passing very early on.
“I remembered it.”
“of course. “I remember everything about Han Seung-hyun.”
“why?”
“… “You probably don’t want to hear it.”
Jaeyoung smiled with a slightly bitter look on his face. It was clearly Seunghyun who told her not to say that, so Seunghyun also understood what she meant and did not ask any more questions.
But it still felt good. I think it was because of those irritating eyes. The memories of Christmas come back to mind, and I feel excited for no reason.
“I’ll prepare the appetizers first.”
“thank you.”
Seunghyun touched the appetizer menu without saying a word. Seunghyun, who had been hesitating for a while to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, spoke.
“… “It’s delicious.”
Why are you saying that because of how much you ate? It was obvious what she was thinking, but Jaeyoung didn’t bother to point it out and just laughed.
“We’ll be able to go out tomorrow. They said the snow would stop by the afternoon at the latest. So don’t be too frustrated.”
Jaeyoung participated in Seunghyeon’s efforts. The first meal of the trip went by as if nothing had happened.
