I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 132
Chapter 132
Rumble—
The ballroom shook as if an earthquake had struck.
“What’s happening?!” Rose lost her balance and fell.
“Heyna, are you alright?”
“Yes, Dekir. Thanks for catching me.”
Dekir had steadied her, preventing a fall. The reason for the tremors soon became apparent.
“Look! The walls are crumbling!”
Cracks appeared in the ballroom walls, accompanied by a cracking sound. Darkness fractured, and beams of bright light poured in.
“Rose, come here!” She reached out to Rose, who was still on the ground. Rose scrambled up and grabbed her hand just as…
Crash, Boom!
The ballroom collapsed.
Thump, Thump.
Bright light and white fog blinded her. She tightened her grip on Rose and Dekir. She felt a floating sensation, like being pulled into a vortex.
Dizzy…
The disorienting swirling made it impossible to maintain consciousness.
I can’t lose consciousness. I might lose them.
That was her last thought before darkness claimed her.

“Heyna.”
“.…”
“Heyna!”
A familiar voice called out.
That’s… Zion’s voice.
Zion?
Her eyes snapped open to see Zion looking down at her with concern.
Why is Zion here? I was with Dekir and Rose.
Realizing her hands were empty, she bolted upright.
“Dekir! Rose!”
“Don’t worry, Heyna. We’re here.”
Relieved by Dekir’s nearby voice, she looked around.
Thank goodness. We escaped Rose’s dream.
She was in the same dark corridor where they’d landed after the elevator crash. And…
“Dekir, Rose? Why are you both tied up?”
Dekir and Rose were leaning against the wall, their hands bound behind them. Dekir offered a strained smile.
“Well, about that…”
Before he could explain, Rose cried out, “Heyna, do something about Zion!”
“Zion? Did Zion tie you up?”
Rose nodded frantically.
“Zion, why did you tie them up?”
Zion replied as if it were obvious, “To protect you, of course.”
“Protect me? What do you… Wait, Zion. You sound different…” He usually spoke formally to everyone.
Zion smiled. “Yes, Heyna. There’s no need to be so formal between us.”
“…Between us?”
“Yes.”
“What are we…?”
“Well, how should I put this?” His crescent-shaped eyes gleamed with amusement. “Not dating, but closer than friends… Isn’t that what you call ‘seeing each other’?”
She couldn’t believe her ears. “…What? Seeing… each other? Zion, how do you even know that word…?” ‘Seeing each other’ is a term from my world.
“I overheard some commoner students at the academy. I usually avoid such vulgar slang…” Zion smiled. “But what better way to describe our relationship?”
How did that word spread among the commoners? No, that’s not important right now.
“So, you’re saying you and I are… seeing each other?”
“Yes.”
She blinked, stunned, then…
Slap!
She slapped herself hard. The stinging confirmed she wasn’t dreaming. This wasn’t a nightmare; it was reality.
“Heyna? What’s wrong?” Zion looked at her with alarm, then smiled knowingly. “Don’t worry. This isn’t a dream.”
That’s what I’m worried about!
“Heyna, I already know how you feel.”
No, you don’t.
“I won’t make the same mistake again.”
“Mistake? Zion, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” She forced a confused expression.
“About my confession in the library.”
“Oh…”
“I understand now. You need time.”
“.…”
She didn’t know why Zion was acting this way, but one thing was clear: He’s definitely mistaken about something.
Her suspicion was confirmed.
“You didn’t accept my confession not because you dislike me, but because you weren’t ready.”
No, it’s because I dislike you.
“I understand. You’ve never been in love before, so… it must be a strange feeling.”
“….”
“Don’t worry. I’ll wait until you realize your feelings. A true gentleman should be considerate of an inexperienced lady, shouldn’t he?”
Why was Zion spouting such nonsense?
To confirm her biggest suspicion, she opened the menu. As expected, a red notification marked the affection tab.
【Zion Delius】
Favorability [5]
Suspicion [1]
‘Heyna is mine. I won’t let anyone take her away.’
Her jaw dropped. His affection had increased by two points, even though they hadn’t been together. And that possessive inner thought…
Who said I was yours?!
She was beyond bewildered.
Heyna calmly assessed the situation. For some reason, Zion’s affection had reached its maximum again, leading to the absurd delusion that they were “seeing each other.”
She now knew for sure: when his affection maxed out, Zion went into ‘confession attack’ mode.
