I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 102
Chapter 102
Like a sprout that pushes through the earth despite being repeatedly knocked down by strong winds. A captivating person who constantly showed unexpected sides, like the ever-changing sky. That was her.
To see her as merely a fragile lady who needed his protection… He had no sense of perception whatsoever.
How long was he going to make Heyna uncomfortable with such nonsense?
[[Zion] Heyna.]
New text appeared on the blue screen Dekir was watching.
[Zion cupped Heyna’s face in his hands. And slowly, he brought his lips closer.]
His feet moved faster than he could finish reading.
Dekir kicked the door in front of him fiercely. But his formless body couldn’t touch the door and passed right through it.
‘Huh? The door…’
The library was one of the spaces where Dekir and Rose were allowed to meet the participants at any time. However, if the library door was locked, Dekir and Rose couldn’t enter. A special barrier that blocked them would activate when the door was locked.
He had confirmed this yesterday by coming to the library himself.
But this time was different.
‘It wasn’t locked?’
After confirming that his foot had gone through the door, Dekir quickly pulled the rest of his body through.

“Z-Zion. Wait! Don’t do this!”
I pushed him away as he leaned in, as if about to kiss me. Incredibly, he looked far more flustered than I was. He blinked blankly, as if bewildered, then gave a knowing smile.
“I’m sorry, Heyna. This must be your first time… I wasn’t being very considerate.”
Um, I think you’re misunderstanding something.
“There’s no need to be embarrassed. We’re both adults.”
This was driving me crazy. How could he possibly misinterpret my reaction as simply being embarrassed because it was my first time?
It seemed like he wouldn’t understand unless I was blunt, so I said firmly, “Zion. This kind of sudden physical contact is uncomfortable when we’re not even dating.”
“What? Not dating?”
“Well, you haven’t exactly confessed to me…”
“I confessed earlier. And you accepted.”
What kind of crazy talk was this?
I barely swallowed the curses swirling in my mouth and calmly asked, “I’ve never heard you say you want to date me or be my lover.”
“I don’t make such clichéd confessions. I showed you my feelings in a much more sincere way.”
“And what confession was that?”
“I told you that I would protect you, Heyna, from now on.”
“….”
I was speechless.
So, he thought that by saying thank you to that, I had accepted his confession?
How could someone be so self-centered? Even if he had mistaken my response as positive, he should have realized something was wrong based on my subsequent reactions.
“Zion, my response earlier wasn’t me accepting your confession.”
“What? Then…”
“It was literally just me saying thank you. Nothing more. I didn’t even realize you were confessing in the first place.”
“.…”
Zion’s eyes darkened.
“I’m a bit confused. So, you’re saying it was all a misunderstanding?”
[‘Zion’s’ favorability level for ‘Heyna’ has decreased by 1.]
How many times had his affection level gone up and down in such a short time?
I was actually relieved that his favorability had decreased. Although I wasn’t certain, I felt that Zion had become overly aggressive ever since his favorability level had filled up.
Even though his favorability might drop again, I decided to draw a clearer line. So Zion wouldn’t make any more assumptions.
“Yes. I’m sorry, Zion, but I think of you as a good friend and colleague. I’ve never had romantic feelings for you.”
“I thought you felt the same way as I did…”
Zion trailed off, seemingly quite flustered. His usually confident golden eyes darted around uncertainly.
As I waited for him to gather his thoughts…
“Heyna has never felt the same way as you.”
A familiar voice came from behind me. And a strong arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me back.
‘That voice…’
I turned around. As expected, the voice belonged to the ghost who had brought me to the forbidden room and then suddenly disappeared.
“How did you get here…?”
To my question, he calmly replied, “The door was open. So I came in.”
The 3rd floor rules came to mind.
8. Library hours are from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Please ensure the door is locked while using the library.
I had definitely locked the library door…
‘Come to think of it, Tommy went outside earlier!’
I had completely forgotten to lock the door again after Tommy left.
“Heyna!”
Zion, finally coming to his senses, stood up.
“Come here, Heyna.”
Zion reached out urgently. Then, the man holding my waist whispered softly in my ear, “Don’t go, Heyna.”
So, this was it, huh?
