What Do You Think about Living With a Gaming Addict Girlfriend and Having Pure Love? - Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Party (4)

 

* * *

 

Welcome.

 

Today, I’m Super Park Da-hye again!

 

No… Actually, I’m completely drained, so right now I’m just Park Da-hye.

 

The last time I met you all, I was full of super power, about to slaughter all the villains.

 

But not anymore.

 

After pouring out all my anger, I returned home panting.

 

I made love with Seong-hyeon, ate food, watched a movie,

 

And now I’m lazily lying on the bed, watching Seong-hyeon sleep.

 

I don’t need to be Super Park Da-hye in this house.

 

Even if I’m not energetic, even if I’m not living diligently, I’m invincible in bed.

 

Seong-hyeon can sleep so well just with me by his side.

 

I can be helpful to Seong-hyeon, and Seong-hyeon needs me.

 

We’re playing a perfect party game, what more do we need?

 

Nothing else is necessary.

 

I don’t need to be Super Park Da-hye in this house, but…

 

During the day today,

 

I was so glad that I was Super Park Da-hye.

 

Because I could get angry when I needed to.

 

I’m so relieved that I’m not a coward.

 

I feel at ease.

 

Have you seen the internet?

 

I have!

 

Every gaming community is full of talk about me.

 

Given how badly the villains usually behave, people are cheering for my anger.

 

They’re making memes with my photos and videos, and condemning the villains’ evil deeds that I punished.

 

It’s scary that my photos are being used as jokes… but I feel good thinking about how annoyed the villains must be.

 

Oh, and there was talk about Seong-hyeon too!

 

Someone made a detailed report about how a villain tried to paint Seong-hyeon as a gaslighting pervert.

 

And that post became popular!

 

Now, no one is saying bad things about our relationship.

 

With great power comes great responsibility, but I didn’t take any responsibility.

 

I was so busy taking down the villains that I ended up destroying the entire city.

 

At the moment I turned from a superhero into a criminal, Seong-hyeon took my hand.

 

And then we just ran away.

 

I never imagined there could be such a method.

 

Isn’t it so cool?

 

Seong-hyeon hides me in a hideout that no one else knows about and tells me he loves me.

 

Those words are so sweet that I irresponsibly believe Seong-hyeon when he says it’s okay.

 

Any feelings of anxiety just fly away.

 

Without a care for responsibility, apologies, or cleaning up the mess.

 

We held each other until we were too exhausted for our brains to function anymore.

 

Now we’re forgetting about the outside world and spending a day just for the two of us.

 

Seong-hyeon has no strength left.

 

It’s because he loves me too much…

 

I’m sorry.

 

I should take care of him,

 

But when I hold Seong-hyeon, my anxiety disappears, so I unknowingly acted spoiled.

 

But then Seong-hyeon stumbled into the kitchen and said this:

 

“I’ll make bossam quickly. Sit there.”

 

He says.

 

He’s been worried about me being hungry, and now he’s going to cook for me.

 

He must be tired… he should rest.

 

But I can help!

 

“Let me help too.”

 

I’m good at cooking now, you know.

 

Every day before Seong-hyeon comes home, I watch YouTube and choose what to cook.

 

And I always make dinner by 6 pm.

 

Now I’m so used to cooking that I get ideas for what to make just by opening the refrigerator.

 

So I could do it by myself, but…

 

“I want to do it for you today. It’s a reward for working hard.”

 

Seong-hyeon says this and starts cooking alone.

 

I sit at the table and watch Seong-hyeon.

 

I thought my cooking skills had improved to match Seong-hyeon, but…

 

As expected, a chef is different.

 

In no time, a bossam set meal is prepared.

 

There’s fresh kimchi, delicious sauce, and steamed egg too.

 

I always use instant rice, but…

 

Seong-hyeon even cooked the rice himself and filled the table.

 

The meat seems to have been boiled for barely 20 minutes, but it’s this fast with a pressure cooker.

 

The fat is chewy, and the meat is so tender it melts on your tongue.

 

When you wrap it in sweet fresh kimchi and put it in your mouth…

 

Ahhh… I’m dying.

 

But even though Seong-hyeon can make such delicious food, he doesn’t seem to like eating much.

 

He always eats halfheartedly during meals.

 

He just watches me.

 

When he thinks I need a napkin, he gives me one right away, puts side dishes on my rice.

 

And he always asks this when I finish eating:

 

“Is it delicious?”

 

Of course it’s delicious.

 

But I like those words from Seong-hyeon more than the tasty meat.

 

I’m happy even when eating something I don’t like because Seong-hyeon always gives me his full attention.

 

After finishing our meal,

 

We decided to ignore the dishes and watch a movie.

 

I don’t really like movies, but…

 

I like watching movies!

 

I love having two hours to hold onto Seong-hyeon’s arm, having time just for the two of us.

 

It feels awkward to do this when nothing’s happening… but I’m free when we’re watching a movie!

 

So sometimes I beg to watch a movie.

 

The movie Seong-hyeon chose today is a superhero movie.

 

I guess he picked a superhero movie because I’ve been calling myself Super Da-hye so much.

 

The plot of the movie goes like this:

 

The protagonist, bitten by a spider, defeats villains pouring in from various worlds, and finally peace arrives.

 

But the price is bitter.

 

In the end, everyone in the world forgets the protagonist’s existence.

 

So the protagonist steps back, even with their best friend and beloved partner right in front of them.

 

These people are still precious to the protagonist, but they no longer know who the protagonist is.

 

So the protagonist decides to disappear into the shadows of society.

 

Hiding their existence from the world, they walk the lonely path of a hero.

 

Ugh! How annoying.

 

I hate this kind of ending.

 

I’d rather just grab the heroine by the collar and say,

 

“Hey, I was your boyfriend, actually I’m a superhero. A lot of things happened, I saved your life, took down villains, but you don’t remember me…”

 

And explain everything in detail.

 

She might not believe it, but it’s sad if no one knows after fighting so hard, right?

 

They’re a superhero, you know.

 

But the protagonist calmly accepts reality and…

 

That’s how the movie ends.

 

Seong-hyeon has been nodding off like a baby, leaning on my shoulder for a while now.

 

It’s because I’ve been tormenting him… I should put him to bed properly now.

 

“Seong-hyeon. Let’s sleep in bed.”

 

It’s not bedtime yet, but…

 

I coax and persuade him as he insists he’s not sleepy, and we go to the bed.

 

Seong-hyeon still can’t sleep without me.

 

So I have to hold him until he falls asleep.

 

I’m Seong-hyeon’s girlfriend, but…

 

Sometimes I lose Seong-hyeon to pathetic things like Rosanne, or his ex-girlfriend, or his company.

 

Or even villains!

 

So I’m always anxious.

 

But nobody else can put him to sleep like I can.

 

So I feel a sense of superiority, even if I’m not a superhero.

 

Now I confidently hold Seong-hyeon with bare skin and pat his bottom.

 

But Seong-hyeon struggles to open his eyes in my arms.

 

And only after saying these words does he drift off to sleep.

 

“Da-hye.”

 

“What?”

 

“I have something to say…”

 

“Tell me everything. I’ll listen to it all.”

 

“Thank you for getting angry for me today. You really… looked like a superhero.”

 

Is that so?

 

I ruined the broadcast on my own and almost caused great damage to Seong-hyeon’s company.

 

But him thanking me makes me happy again.

 

Even though I was already as happy as I could be today.

 

But I’m not a superhero like Seong-hyeon says.

 

Until recently, I was a useless gamer who trembled at the sight of people.

 

The reason I was able to defeat the villains despite this…

 

The reason I could be Super Park Da-hye just for today…

 

It’s simply because I followed the footsteps someone left in my heart.

 

I stroke the face of that someone.

 

He’s sleeping well.

 

When I look at Seong-hyeon, who calls me a superhero, I’m reminded of the movie we just watched.

 

There’s a hero hiding in the shadows here too.

 

Seong-hyeon is my hero.

 

It’s an old story.

 

The story of Seong-hyeon catching me with one hand when I was pushed off a cliff with nowhere to run, and flying up into the sky.

 

In the movie, the world forgot the hero, but this story is the opposite.

 

The person who was saved remembers the hero.

 

But the hero has forgotten it.

 

Well, Seong-hyeon is a person with so much love.

 

He probably can’t remember every bit of love he’s given to others.

 

Seong-hyeon probably doesn’t know that a small piece of love he carelessly spilled remains in someone’s heart and is remembered forever.

 

See!

 

This is why I hate that movie’s ending.

 

The whole world should know about the hero’s achievements!

 

Because no one knows!

 

Ah.

 

That’s right.

 

I don’t need to get angry, do I?

 

Because…

 

You all are here. Hehehe…

 

You’ll listen, right?

 

Um… It might be a bit long and boring…

 

But stories told excitedly by someone who’s too happy are always like that.

 

Just listen to it as if a silly kid getting excited and rambling on.

 

But in return, I can stay with you a little while longer.

 

I believe you’ll like it!

 

The story takes place 8 years ago,

 

On the day when it had been a week since I met Seong-hyeon.
