EP.20 Coincidence
“Aaaaaah!!””
Shin Haru threw the remote control towards the TV.
Of course, if thrown too hard, the newly bought UHD TV could shatter, so she consciously tried to throw it gently.
But still, it hit the wall with a loud noise.
“Haah… Haah…”
She was panting.
After calming down, she sat on the sofa and slowly started to think.
It had been several years since she started her hero activities under the name Stardust.
Since she first awakened her powers in middle/high school, she had been at this for quite some time.
She had vowed to become a hero to put the villains behind bars for revenge for her deceased parents.
But back then, she had never once imagined this.
A love scandal with a villain?
“Haah…”
Shin Haru sighed and headed to the fridge.
She needed something sweet because it was so ridiculous.
As she naturally took out a cool juice pack to drink, she cringed after seeing the name of the juice she was drinking.
[Minute Maid Mango]
Mango. Now, whenever she saw a mango, she thought of that Egoistic guy.
Didn’t the followers of Egoistic call him Mangostick?
Ah. She felt as if her brain had been contaminated.
Mango was her favorite.
In reality, she hated mangos themselves, but she enjoyed mango-like things, such as mango juice, mango frappes, and mango shaved ice.
But now, she wouldn’t be able to look at mangos the same way as before.
From now on, every time she saw a mango, she would think of Mangostick.
“My brain… My brain has been polluted…”
She became slightly gloomy. As one lives, perceptions do change from time to time, but she never imagined it would change in this way.
“Phew…”
She decided to go out and get some fresh air.
Opening the window, she stuck her head out.
The cool spring breeze blew on her, and the faint sunlight reflected off her blond hair, giving it an enchanting sparkle.
As a result, the men walking on the streets who casually looked up were transfixed by her, but she was unaware of this.
She had a lot on her mind. And, of course, that Egoistic guy was at the center of her thoughts.
Egoistic. She found the name quite amusing. Ego-stick. Doesn’t it conjure up the image of a frail old man saying “ego, ego” as he holds a stick and walks? She casually mentioned this to a close sister of hers only to receive a pitiful look and decided to keep such thoughts to herself from then on.
She was startled when she thought that perhaps “Egoistic” sounded cooler than “Egoistic” – why was she even thinking about improving that villain’s name? She shook her head to dismiss the thought.
However, whenever she thought about Egoistic, she couldn’t help but feel disturbed.
Something, something was hard to explain in words.
A complex mix of emotions engulfed her, becoming a jumble of thoughts in her brain that rose and then dissipated.
And she found that strange.
Surely, when thinking of an evil villain, emotions like hatred and disgust should arise.
Why then was she experiencing a complex mix of feelings?
Among those numerous emotions, there were certainly those that were not hatred or disgust.
Egoistic. That guy was extremely popular online right now.
Not just on the internet, but also in the real world, his popularity was immense.
Even her close sister Chae-hyun said she had joined the Mango Fan Club just the other day.
Even in the departmental chat rooms, when “Mangostick” was mentioned, it was all praises.
How could everyone still support him after watching the live train terror incident…
