Villain of my own novel

Chapter 245 244. Eshwar.

?"Let's go, people are gathering above." Max said and walked back before looking up at the hole, leaving Seo Hana dazed in confusion, not because of the kiss, but because she felt that it was strangely familiar.

'Eshwar?' Seo Hana thought inwardly, but shook her head to dismiss that thought.

'I shouldn't think like that, it is disrespectful to Max.' She thought and shook her head thinking that maybe all handsome guys kiss like that.

Eshwar's words at the time of breaking up flashed in her head, "I find you boring because you hide behind this...." at the word "this," he pointed his index finger at her, top to bottom, "because you hide behind this mask of "Seo Hana," you created for yourself." He said and walked away, though nobody may find any sense in those words of his, Seo Hana knew that his words were true.

She had always hid herself away because all the emotions she had pent up would drive people away from her, she didn't want that, so she had been living like that ever since her awakening, she wasn't going to change or anything, but a part of her always thought about his words from that day.

"Wear this and come out." Max's voice snapped her out of her trance and she nodded timidly before covering herself.

"!!!" Her eyes snapped wide open when she felt the mana disturbance near Max, it was exactly how it felt when the demon from before took out a potion out of nowhere.

"Here." Max said as he offered her his t-shirt.

"How....did you do that just now?" She couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked with her brows furrowed at him, she wasn't really expecting the truth or anything, she just wanted to hear his answer, she'll decide what to do after hearing his answer.

"This? A t-shirt?" Max asked with a confused look on his face.

"No, not that, where did you take it out from?" She asked because she was cautious about the fact that what if, just what if, even the demons are able to access the system.

"Oh! You meant this! It is just space manipulation magic." Max answered truthfully, without even bothering to hide the fact that he can use some strange magic.

"I did talk about this with you before....." He mumbled under his breath and pressed his lips as if he said something he shouldn't have, and though he realised it a bit late, it was true, he really did say something he shouldn't have.

'This is space manipulation magic, it really isn't that big of a deal, I can teach it to you if you want, wanna learn it?' Eshwar's words flashed in her mind again, and this time she even began to notice a lot of similarities between Max and Eshwar. And that was it, she didn't doubt it anymore, now she knew for a fact that he was Eshwar.

"Eshwar....." She called out and he glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and sighed deeply when he saw tears well up in her eyes again.

"Yes." He nodded his head in agreement and tears streamed out of her eyes.

"Why?" She asked that question subconsciously, but she wanted to know why he hid his identity, why he behaved so coldly the last time they met in the association building, why he acted as if he forgot her that day, why he was acting like that when they met again in the press conference, why he behaved so disrespectfully when they met at the orphanage even though she was just doing her job, why he was behaving so lovingly now, when she wanted to end everything, just why? Though she couldn't voice all of these questions, she felt like he would understand her, and it seemed like he really did.

"I didn't really hide my identity, let me introduce myself again, I'm Max Knight, son of Dwayne Knight, a SS-rank hero, and a father who abandoned me, and hello, I'm Eshwar Frost, it is name I gave myself, because I didn't really want anything to do with the Knight family." He introduced himself with a polite bow when he introduced himself as Max, but when he introduced himself as Eshwar, he had a arrogant and a certain otherworldly aura surrounding him.

"...." Seo Hana didn't get all the answers she wanted, but she was shocked beyond belief at the revelation. She was so shocked that she forgot everything about Faye.

"Do not speak about it else where." Eshwar said like it was a threat, but his nonchalant tone indicated that he didn't really care much about it.

"Why did you kiss me?" She too didn't care much about it when she heard the tone of voice he spoke in, and then asked something that really mattered to her.

"Just 'cauze." He replied and it irked her to no end, but without releasing her anger at him, she began to tremble and cry.

'I can't believe I fell in love with the same guy twice, without even realising that!' She grumbled inwardly.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry, it wasn't my fault now, was it?" Eshwar asked as he rushed towards her and hugged her to comfort her, and when she felt comfortable in his arms, she began to sob loudly and her knees buckled up, making her fall into his arms.

"Hey, hey!" Eshwar's yell sounded, but she ignored him and continued to cry.

"Haaa...." He sighed deeply, slowly sat down, picked her up and placed her on his lap, hugging.

"I don't care anymore." He mumbled and leaned back with Seo Hana on his chest as she continued to sob.

"Hey, I'm not really against it or anything, but could you wear anything, please?" He asked and at his question,

"Waaaaaa!!!" She began to sob more loudly at his teasing and playful tone.

"Ok, ok, ok!"

Approximately an hour later.

SNIFFLE

"Done?" Eshwar asked while looking down at Seo Hana, who had cried until half of his t-shirt was soaking wet.

"Sniffle, mhm." She hummed in agreement and hugged him more comfortably.

"? Aii, get off, I need to go somewhere." Eshwar's grumbling sounded, but he didn't really push her away.

"You, sniffle, kissed me, so take responsibility." She mumbled under her breath, she knew that she was acting like a spoiled child, but she didn't really care about it because she knew that he wasn't the type to think anything about it, and she felt really, really light as if all of her burdens were lifted.

?

Of course, she would feel like that, she had cried out everything that had been pent up till now, and it wasn't like they disappeared or anything, but she just accepted them, and she wouldn't continue to well on them anymore.

"If you had been like this at the time we were dating, maybe I wouldn't have suggested a break up, but you should know that I won't love you anymore, no matter what." Eshwar said, his every word hurt her, but she didn't really blame him, she raised her head to face him, but noticed that he wasn't looking at her, but somewhere else even though his hand was on her head, patting and comforting her.

".....I know." She mumbled and hugged him tightly as if it was goodbye hug, and he complied with her and hugged her back, pulled her up and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Thank you." Seo Hana mumbled under her breath and snuggled on his chest.

"Get off." He yelled in her ear playfully and began to push her away, she smiled warmly when she realised that he doing it to lighten up the mood and she too got ready to play along but his next words earned him a bite on his right bicep.

"Hey~ it actually feels good, even though there really isn't much there. Ack."
