I Don’t Want to be a Villainess

“No, I don’t think that way.”

This was serious. I really didn’t care about Sohee’s or anyone else’s sexual orientation. After all, I liked girls, not guys. My body was in Sara’s form, but inside, my sexual orientation still leaned toward male, so in a sense, I was no different from a homosexual.

More than that, it felt strange to discriminate over such things in this world. This was a world where same-sex marriage was even legal in Korea. There was no reason to think it was weird for a girl to like another girl.

What was important to me right now wasn’t whether Sohee liked girls or not.

The atmosphere was charged as if Sohee had something to confess to me.

It didn’t seem like she was just going to talk about her sexual orientation.

Well, if we had to dissect it, there was only one reason why she’d decide to reveal it now.

Had my answer given her courage? Sohee lifted her face.

Her face was still completely red. But the look of being shy a moment ago was nowhere to be found.

Instead, there was an expression full of anticipation.

Relieved by my words that I didn’t care about such things. And probably excited about what she was going to say next.

Sohee, who had been quiet for a while, looked straight into my eyes and said,

“For a long time… No, ever since I realized I had this preference, I’ve been pretending in front of others. Acting like I wasn’t interested in girls, just pretending to be a close friend. There were times when I felt a bit excited by natural physical contact between friends.”

That made sense. If I were in her shoes, I’d definitely have strange thoughts if girls came clinging to me while calling me ‘friend.’

Actually, it had been the same even after coming to this world.

So I could fully empathize with her story.

“Well, I still couldn’t pretend I liked guys. But I think I managed to pull off the act of not liking anyone.”

I had known Sohee’s sexual orientation from the beginning.

If I hadn’t known that from the start, would my attitude toward Sohee have changed?

…Maybe it would have.

I recalled my first meeting with Sohee.

Honestly, it wasn’t exactly a friendly encounter. I dropped a skirt on her head, and she grabbed my collar—that was how we met. If I hadn’t known she was the heroine of the game, if I hadn’t seen the light in her face, would I have treated her the same way I do now?

Thinking like that, I concluded it wasn’t necessary to grapple with such hypothetical situations.

Things I knew at our first meeting were ultimately irrelevant now.

The more I got to know Sohee, the more I could see aspects of her that were different from what I knew.

Not just Sohee. Ha Neul and Sua too—I saw many different sides to them that were far removed from those fragmented images I’d known in the game.

They weren’t perfect beings solving challenges effortlessly, nor merely a human capybara delivering information, nor just rebellious brats who disliked being told what to do; they were multifaceted.

So, the relationship we built was separate from all that information. Although that first meeting might have been helpful, the bond between Sohee and me was created by our efforts and memories.

With that thought, I looked up at Sohee.

Sohee, with her face flushed but showing determination, declared in a firm voice,

“I don’t want to pretend in front of you anymore.”

“…Okay.”

I nodded.

And Sohee smiled—

Then she placed her hands on both my shoulders.

Uh-huh…?

Before I could even respond, the strength in her hands tightened.

Of course, it was only natural; Sohee was the strongest among the four of us.

As the weakest, I had no way to resist.

I fell back onto the bed with a thud, and Sohee pressed her face close to mine.

“I think about naughty things a lot.”

“Uh…?”

In response to Sohee’s somewhat random confession, I momentarily lost my words and just echoed her.

“I’ve been like this for a while. When I see other girls or idols on TV, I think, ‘How nice it would be to have a girlfriend like that. To hug, kiss, and do various things together!’”

This conversation was taking an unexpectedly strange turn.

Such a confession was a little shocking since the other girls had directly declared their feelings.

Well, I mean, I had had some wild fantasies when I was younger.

“I lived alone with those fantasies until I met you. Do you remember our first meeting?”

That terribly stimulating encounter was hard to forget. Forgetting that would likely be impossible even over a lifetime.

“I still remember that day.”

“Uh, uh, eck.”

I tried to respond, but once again, my body refused to cooperate.

Maybe this body had a terrible cooling efficiency. Whenever something happened, heat surged up to my head, making it hard to form proper responses.

Was it because the surface area that met the air was too small? I found myself getting lost in irrelevant thoughts.

…No.

This was an escape.

I desperately wanted to flee from Sohee’s thoughts, which filled my view right now.

It wasn’t courteous but—

—Honestly, the situation was just too stimulating.

Sohee’s dress highlighted the advantages of her figure perfectly. I might have thought it was pretty when I first saw it but never considered it seductive until now. Looking back, I realized I had been living every day staring at Sohee’s upper chest.

She had unbuttoned several buttons of her school uniform and wore a shirt with a few buttons undone paired with extremely short dolphin shorts after finishing work at home.

Perhaps that was why I’d become strangely desensitized. The reason I thought Sohee looked like a ‘young lady’ in her dress.

Sohee’s dress had quite a deep neckline.

While it might have seemed decent standing, in this position of “looking down at Sohee lying down”…

The weight of her breasts was clearly accentuated by gravity.

And the slightly loose dress was no different. Gravity pulled its middle down, making it extremely provocative.

Did she sense my gaze?

“What about you?”

Sohee asked me.

“Uh, eh?”

“You just looked at my chest, right? What do you think?”

Sohee’s face crept a few centimeters closer.

If it were normal, I wouldn’t have thought much of it, but now that she was nearer, even a few centimeters felt crushing.

“Do you think naughty thoughts too?”

“…….”

Of course, I did.

But…

“I’m thinking it right now.”

Sohee’s face drew so close that it nearly filled my entire view, or rather, overflowed in my sight.

“I think about it every day. Ever since that day—”

With every word Sohee spoke, her breath brushed against me.

“—ever since I saw you, I don’t think about anyone else. That day, what I saw, and all I’ve seen of you since. It’s only you that comes to mind. Ever since then, in my naughty thoughts, it’s only you.”

“…….”

What… should I even say to that?

So what you’re saying is, I’ve become the subject of Sohee’s fantasies?

I was dizzy from that unexpected statement.

“So I thought. From today on, why not make that fantasy a reality?”

Even though her body was still atop mine, it was increasingly pressing closer.

The dress Sohee wore wasn’t thick at all. Naturally, her figure was laid bare.

Before I could say anything,

Sohee’s lips met mine.

While Ha Neul and Sua only pressed their lips together, Sohee slightly opened and closed her lips.

It wasn’t an overtly raw scene like from those ancient videos, but it was shocking enough. Even in my dreams, Sara had never acted like this.

“Wait, Sohee!”

As my lips parted slightly, I shouted.

Sohee’s eyes widened a bit.

Upon realizing it, her already red face became even redder, and she quickly pulled away.

The body that had been tightly pressed against mine immediately reminded me of how “close” we had been.

“So, Sohee, we still…”

“…still…?”

Sohee, whose face was now covered by her hands, repeated the phrase back.

Yet, because she was looking at me through her fingers, it didn’t feel like she was fully hiding at all.

“W-we’re both, um, still minors!”

At my words, Sohee’s mouth dropped open.

Though she was hiding it, it still showed.

“Oh, right.”

In a surprisingly collected manner, Sohee murmured as if she understood.

She still hadn’t come down from my body, though.

“Then, we can do it when we’re adults, right?”

“…huh?”

“Is that a promise?”

“…uhhhh?”

Before I could grasp Sohee’s words, she quickly lowered her body and kissed me lightly.

And with the expression as if she might fly away, she straightened up.

“Tell ‘Sara’ in advance! I’ll be looking forward to that day. Got it?”

With a bright expression—

She dashed away, closing the door with a bang behind her.

…

Oh no.

Something was going terribly wrong…?
