Ep.151 Dating Scandal

[Hello! This is Entertainment Weekly. Today, I brought some really hot news. This is a rumor about Villain Egostic’s love scandal!]

[Wow! Egostic’s love scandal. By the way, Chaeryeong. Didn’t this person have a couple of love scandals before?]

[That’s right. This isn’t the first time. At first, there was a love scandal with the hero Stardus. Let’s watch the video together!]

The video ended with the host’s last words.

There, after blocking the running train, Egostic was seen kneeling next to the fallen Stardus and saying something.

[“Yes, Stardus.” You’ve done a nice job. I couldn’t even imagine. I didn’t expect you to save everyone like that. It’s your victory. I’ll be on my way, so take a good rest now. Other heroes will be here soon.”]

The video ended with his words.

The hosts came back on the screen and continued to speak enthusiastically.

[Did you see it? The hero lost her strength and collapsed after stopping his terror, rather than attacking, he gave her a warm encouragement! It made a lot of people’s hearts race.]

[Yes! That’s why there was a rumor that they were dating behind the scenes. Of course, it was concluded that it wasn’t true due to the strong denial of the association and the hero]

[This was Egostic’s second terrorist attack, which was quite a long time ago. Let’s look at the next rumor!]

The screen changed, and the new video came out.

There came an image of Egostic smiling with Electra in his arms.

[Chaeryeong, how did the scandal break out then?]

[Yes! As if they were lovers, everyone saw Egostic hugging Electra and wondered if they were dating! Of course, there were several Egostic attacks later on, and it was tentatively concluded that they didn’t. And of course, it’s embarrassing to call it a love scandal when you see the scandal this time]

[Wow! How is this love scandal going?]

[Let’s watch the video together!]

The video came out again.

Against the dark night sky’s backdrop is the image of Egostic hugging Mist from behind.

And at that moment, she turned her head and kissed Egostic’s cheek.

And she smiled alluringly, whispering to Egostic.

[“Good job, baby”]

At the end of the sentence, the screen was again focused on the two hosts.

[Oh my, oh my! I’m fluttered.]

[Yes. Honestly, I think it’s definitely a love scandal. Perhaps that’s why netizens’ reactions are heating up. All the Internet communities are buzzing with the story at this time.]

[Egostic is the most popular villain in Korea’s history so far, and this scene has been broadcast live on all broadcasting stations, so it got even more popular. So, what do you think, Chaeryeong?]

[Well… Isn’t this enough? Anyone can only say that there’s something between the two. In fact, it’s the same thing.]

[Oh, at this moment! Another new thing is, can you see the ring on Egostic’s hand on the data screen? Netizens just discovered this, and there is speculation that this is a couple ring. To be exact, Egostic didn’t wear a ring, but he started wearing it after Death Knight joined, and there was a rumor that he started dating around that time.]

[So there’s more evidence! Oh, and I want to tell you something because of the Internet response, but I heard that Mango Union, the Egostic fan cafe, is going crazy right now]

[Oh, why?]

[It turns out that fans who have been shipping Egostic with various people have been shocked, but they are going crazy, saying they can’t admit that a new girl who suddenly appeared has taken over his lover position]

[Oh, my]

…What is that? What ‘Oh, my’?

“…Bullshit…”

At night

In Ego House’s living room

Sitting on the sofa there and watching TV, I felt my head throbbing as I watched what was on the screen.

No, seriously. Why did Seo Jayoung do something like that?

We immediately returned home in a hurry, as I was surprised by Seo Jayoung’s unexpected behavior.

Before asking why she did it, Seo Jayoung disappeared somewhere after being dragged by Seo-eun, Eun-wol, Soobin, and Choi Sehee, who were smiling with scary expressions.

Before being dragged away, she looked at me pitifully and reached for help, but she was dragged away for a long time. Thus, Seo Jayoung was taken somewhere in the room of time and mind.

…Well, the last one was strange, but the terror ended successfully.

I was sitting on the sofa and resting my tired body, leaving my party, which still disappeared somewhere.

And as soon as I turned on the TV, it went crazy.

…But honestly, I wondered if this was this big. I mean, I don’t have anything to do with Seo Jayoung in the first place. Is it such a big problem even if there’s something? I don’t know why they’re so interested in the villain’s love life. I’m a terrorist, not a celebrity.

Of course, when I see a picture of Jayoung kissing my cheek on the front page news of the portal site… I just feel a little dizzy. I mean, they should focus on the terrorist attacks. Why would they put that on the main page?

“… Oh, right. I heard my fan cafe is going crazy, too.”

I think I heard it on TV earlier, so I decided to go into my fan cafe after a long time.

Let’s see what they’re talking about.

As soon as I enter the main page, I can see a lot of posts.

Looking through the titles of them, I felt my mind go blank.

*

[Yes, no matter what you say, it’s already confirmed that it’s Mango Purple hahahahahahah]

[Like if Mist is pretty and cute hahaha I’ll go first hahahaha]

[What are you talking about?]

[Ice Mango is not dead yet…]

[You brats still can’t accept the reality]

[Our Egostic fan cafe recognizes Mist Mango as the official one.]

[Shut up y’all! Our Ego oppa can’t do that!!!!!!]

[Fuck. While everyone is talking about Star, Ice, Moonlight, Electric, and everything, Mango is already in love with Mist hahaha]

[Yeah, that’s just fake. It’s actually EgoStar]

[No matter what you say, everything is out after the ^Kiss^~]

[Can’t you see that Egostic was really shocked? It must be a joke after all;;]

[Why is it so funny that all of you are going crazy at the same time?]

[Early adopters are already on the Mist Mango coin. Hurry up and get in]

[This isn’t a coin, it’s already a currency that’s already listed. Didn’t you hear the “Good job, baby?”]

[Fuck. I only focused on Mango. I can’t believe he’s dating someone who just appeared out of nowhere.]

[Please say it’s not an explanation show]

[No one is interested in the terror and Shadow Walker. You guys are only fangirling over couples hahahahaha]

“….”

After reading the posts, I just pressed the home button to turn it off without realizing it.

…There’s a reason why I haven’t been there so far.

As I thought about it, the door suddenly opened over there, and Seo Jayoung staggered along.

“Ugh…”

“You’re here.”

“Uh… Haa, I managed to get out of it because I sent off Stardus…”

The girl was lying on her stomach in the living room as soon as she came.

I asked her with my hand on my chin.

“But why did you do that? All the TV is talking about you and me.”

“Because it’s fun…I’m just curious about the reactions of the people in front of me. Why? Were you excited?”

“Yeah. I was so excited that I almost flicked your forehead on the spot.”

“Hehe…”

She did it because she thought it would be fun.

Hah, I knew it…

Still lying on the floor in her black hoodie, she replied to me, and then she suddenly began to laugh.

“…Hehe.”

“Why are you laughing again?”

“No, I thought about Stardus’ expression, which was funny.”

“What are you talking about?”

She’s still grinning, muttering things I don’t understand.

I approached Seo Jayoung and grabbed her cheek.

“Aaaaah…”

“Are you going to keep doing this kind of unexpected behavior in the future?”

“Uh, I won’t do it again, so let me go…”

I let go with a sigh.

But Seo Jayoung is still smiling.

“Phew… I should just do an explanation broadcast.”

“Shall I help you?”

“You can help me by staying still… And I honestly don’t really need to do it, but they’ll keep making a fuss. I’m going to talk about it on the next broadcast.”

“Yeah… I’m a little sorry all of a sudden.”

“Why don’t you stop laughing while saying that?”

“…Hehe. Oh, there comes Seo-eun..”

Our conversation was interrupted by Seo-eun and Soobin walking this way.

Well, actually, it’s not a big deal. It doesn’t matter if the public knows if I’m really dating her. All I have to do is be good at terror.

I didn’t try to reveal who I was like Lee Seola last time, but I can let this go with a smile.

There’s nothing that’s going to change because of this.

All I have to do is terrorize Stardus.

***

Crash-

“Eek?”

Hero Association Headquarters Building, the corridor.

The association employee, who was walking down the hallway with the documents, was surprised by the sudden sound and dropped the paper she was holding.

“…What is it? I think it’s from Stardus’ office…”

Looking around, and there Stardus’ office was.

The employee, who peeped inside the rail as the door was half open, quietly turned her foot when she saw her desk, which was half smashed as if Stardus had struck.

…Hmm, well, she must have been upset.

‘I’ll call the staff and ask them to send her a new desk.’

The employee moved his feet with that thought.

Having worked for the association for a long time, she has long since realized.

It’s best not to touch an angry hero. Just avoid it.

So, the day was coming to an end.
