Surviving as a Brainwashing Villain in a Hero World

Chapter 58

The sun has completely set, and evening has descended into darkness.

Amidst that darkness, the lights of life shine like stars in the night sky, creating a beautiful cityscape, captured within the large windows of the hotel room.

It’s a luxurious room in the hotel, which could be called an urban paradise, where the elegant interior and the beautiful night view blend together.

Si-yoon and Lumi entered the room, enjoying the cool air from the air conditioner, cooling off the sweat they had accumulated from wandering outside.

“Ugh! My clothes are completely soaked with sweat… I think I need to take a shower.”

Because of the sweat dripping down, they felt uncomfortable, and with the weather, the thought of changing out of the wet clothes was natural.

Si-yoon immediately took off his wet t-shirt right there.

“Si… Si-yoon?”

Startled by him suddenly taking off his clothes and revealing his upper body, Lumi covered her face with both hands.

“Huh? What’s wrong? Oh! Oh… I’m sorry. It was just too hot…”

“It’s… it’s okay… just go and wash up.”

Si-yoon smiled awkwardly and went into the bathroom, but due to one wall being made of translucent glass, his silhouette was clearly visible while he showered.

“Hmm…”

Lumi had been startled just moments before, waving her hands dismissively. However, perhaps out of curiosity, she began to watch his silhouette through the translucent glass.

“His body… looks incredibly healthy and strong…”

His body, hardened through years of being a combatant, was muscular and well-built, although not comparable to athletes or bodybuilders, it was quite wild and solid even without much maintenance.

“Lumi!”

While Lumi was blankly watching Si-yoon shower, he suddenly stopped and called her name.

“Huh?!”

Lumi jumped in surprise, wondering if he had caught her watching, and turned her head with a nervous heart.

“Is the hairdryer on the table?”

He stuck his wet face out from behind the glass door, asking if the hair dryer was on the table.

“Oh! It’s right there.”

She then looked towards the table, spotting the hairdryer hanging on the side table with the amenities, and he went back inside.

“Wow…”

As he resumed his shower, Lumi let out a deep sigh.

“Seo Lumi… what are you doing…!”

She scolded herself as she usually did, trying to regain her composure, but her head turned back towards the bathroom.

Time passed as Lumi observed Si-yoon’s shower scene, and after washing away the stickiness, Si-yoon came out wrapped in a robe.

“Feels refreshing! I think it’s good to shower often in summer.”

“Right…! Definitely because we sweat so much…”

Seeing Si-yoon with a refreshed face, Lumi also felt the urge to wash away the stickiness from her body due to sweat.

“I’ll… go shower too.”

“Oh! Then I’ll sit and rest for a while.”

Lumi also entered the bathroom with the translucent glass wall and took off her clothes.

“It’s embarrassing… but I can’t let myself smell sweat in front of Si-yoon…”

Just as she had seen his silhouette, he would naturally see hers too.

Though Lumi felt a bit embarrassed about revealing her naked body, she thought she couldn’t possibly smell of sweat in front of him.

Ssshhh…

Cool, refreshing cold water from the showerhead drenched Lumi, cooling the blue-tinted silver hair and her pale skin.

“Ah… this feels good…”

Applying body wash and shampoo meticulously all over her body and long hair, the water from the showerhead soon washed away the foam.

After the foam was cleanly rinsed off, she gathered her wet, long silver hair, squeezing out the water, and then dried her skin and hair with a towel.

She then took a robe from the bathroom cabinet, wrapped it around herself, and stepped out of the bathroom with a refreshed look.

“Doesn’t it feel refreshing to shower? The water is so cool too.”

While Lumi was showering, Si-yoon lay on the bed, looking at his phone.

‘Was I the only one doing something strange…?’

Unlike herself, who had been secretly watching Si-yoon’s body through the translucent glass, he seemed unconcerned.

Seeing Si-yoon like that, Lumi suddenly felt embarrassed, thinking she might have been doing something lewd.

‘What am I thinking…’

Feeling her face getting hot from embarrassment, she cooled it down with the air from the AC, then sat in front of the vanity, drying her still-wet hair in front of the mirror.

She meticulously dried her hair with the hairdryer, making sure no wet spots remained, and then tied her long hair back with a hair tie.

“Sit here and rest! It’s super comfy.”

Lumi sat on the bed where Si-yoon was resting at his suggestion.

‘Is it not strange for a man and a woman to be alone like this…?’

Lumi enjoyed being in the room with Si-yoon, but she felt something was off.

Even though she was ignorant about matters not related to heroes and villains, she knew that a man and a woman alone in a hotel like this was no different from lovers.

‘Or am I just thinking too lewdly…?!’

Lumi was worried if it was truly strange, and she glanced at Si-yoon, then quickly turned her head away, startled, just like when she saw him undress his upper body.

‘Th… that between his legs…?!’

Between Si-yoon’s legs, which were spread in a relaxed pose, stood an imposing pillar. It was large and thick, standing tall.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

“Oh… nothing!”

Si-yoon noticed Lumi’s surprise at seeing his erection but asked teasingly, pretending not to know.

“Kyah?!”

Then he approached Lumi and gently hugged her from behind.

“Si-yoon…?”

“I know everything… that you watched me shower, and that you turned your head in surprise when you saw that.”

“It’s… not like that! Mmmph?!”

Si-yoon, knowing all about what Lumi had done, pressed his lips against hers as she tried to explain.

“Mmmph! Mmm…?!”

Like prey caught by a snake, Lumi couldn’t resist Si-yoon’s swift kiss.

Their lips met deeply, and his tongue invaded her mouth aggressively.

“Mmm…! Mmm…?!”

Si-yoon ravaged her tongue with rough and fast movements, leaving his mark by flooding her mouth with his saliva.

“Mmm… Phew?!”

After a long, breathless kiss, a string of saliva connected their lips.

“What are you doing…!”

“Isn’t this what you wanted?”

Lumi shouted at Si-yoon, slightly angry when their lips parted, but Si-yoon held her body without showing any concern.

Lumi tried to deny Si-yoon’s bold attitude, but she couldn’t deny her own actions up to that point.

“Th… that’s… Kyah?!”

Si-yoon peeled off Lumi’s robe, running his fingers gently over her white, perky breasts, eventually touching the pink, slightly erect nipples.

“Your nipples are so hard… and even with the AC on this high, aren’t you sweating?”

Si-yoon’s words were spot on. Her pink nipples stood erect, and beads of sweat formed on her skin despite the cool air from the AC set at 22 degrees.

Since she started spending the day with Si-yoon, Lumi hadn’t had a single moment where her heart didn’t race.

Her face flushed red, and she unconsciously touched herself.

Even after he saved her that day, she had cried out his name while comforting herself.

“The Ice Queen must protect citizens with her heroic image, but Lumi doesn’t need to deceive herself inside, right?”

Si-yoon caressed her cheek as they looked into each other’s eyes, leaning her head against his while sharing gentle skinship.

“It’s about accepting yourself more honestly. The desire to be loved, to be held.”

“The desire… to be loved…?”

Lumi was confused, wondering if her actions were driven by a desire to be loved by Si-yoon, or if these feelings were because she wanted to be held by him.

‘Maybe all my blushing and heart racing when I saw Si-yoon, all the times I peeked at him while avoiding eye contact… was it because I liked him?’

While some of Si-yoon’s actions might have been intentional, Lumi definitely liked how he was.

‘So this is… what it feels like to like someone…’

Lumi seemed to make a firm decision as she looked at Si-yoon, then kissed him again.

‘Perhaps… it’s okay for Seo Lumi to be honest…’
