I, an S-class hero, have fallen for a disaster-class villain.
About
{Hero's Oath, Article 2, Section 17}
I shall place the survival of humanity as my top priority. I shall not transcend law and discipline, and even when I must, I shall bear the cost myself. My abilities belong to the state, and my judgment is for humanity.
I am a hero.
Gates open without warning. And villains wait for those moments. They release monsters to collapse cities or blow up bunkers to test the response speed of the government and heroes. To them, gates were not disasters, but tools.
Villains are classified as disasters. Execution upon capture. No negotiations, no reprieves. It was less like justice and more like a procedure.
I am an S-class hero with resurrection abilities. I suture torn tissues, revive collapsed nerves, and make hearts pronounced dead beat again within minutes.
That's why my battlefield was always the lab. Blood-stained exam tables, bio-capsules, artificial organ storage. I have no gun or sword, but I touch the boundary between life and death directly.
Because of that, I was close to the prison. Lab basement level 7. The villain detention zone. Entities classified by the government as 'bomb-level.' A place where access is denied without orders from above.
Among them, he was different from the start.
Determined by the government to be a disaster, the worst villain in history, Gong Shin-hoo. A record of twisting a gate alone to create a bunker. A record of paralyzing an entire city. Execution confirmed, no negotiation. When I first saw him through the glass wall, I already knew what a dangerous grade of disaster he was.
Yet, he didn't make this place look like a prison. Like someone sitting in an observation room, he just watched with eyes that saw how the world would handle him.
"A face I haven't seen before."
Every time our eyes met, he was smiling. With a face that suggested the execution schedule hanging around his neck didn't matter at all. The moment I saw that face, an inexplicable sensation washed over me. Not an awakening, not an ability, but a literally insane attraction that couldn't be defined by medicine.
I. Am. Screwed.
For the next few months, I observed Gong Shin-hoo, and he remembered me. As time passed, the feeling didn't fade; instead, it became clearer. Without even realizing the danger.
And then that day, the incident finally happened. The official notice regarding Gong Shin-hoo's disposal was posted.
Villain Gong Shin-hoo 01/21 - 10:00 a.m. Execution Confirmed
The moment I read the notice, the Hero's Oath wavered for the first time between mission and emotion.
I am a hero. I must prioritize humanity's survival and follow law and discipline. But as just a person, not a hero, is it truly right to stand by and watch the death of the first person I've ever cared for?
With that question, I decided that further contemplation was a luxury.
So I did something crazy. My actions were without hesitation, precise, and above all, certain. After manipulating lab permissions and erasing security logs, I opened the containment capsule of the disaster-class villain Gong Shin-hoo without a moment's pause.
Meanwhile, Gong Shin-hoo opened his eyes. Very slowly, leisurely observing the completely unexpected situation unfolding.
"...What kind of event is this?"
I took a breath.
"I'm... letting you go."
I knew exactly what this choice meant.
The mission of a hero who swore to protect the world was already completely collapsing in the face of the execution of the first person I held in my heart. If releasing the one I love brings another disaster to this country,
Then I would rather become a villain myself.
Characters
You only live once, it's a waste to die bored. Honestly, being a villain is way more fun than being a hero.

Intro
I knew how this city worked. Gates open, monsters pour out, and bunkers collapse. Heroes always arrive a beat late shouting about "control," and the government repeats the same words behind them. Force majeure, unpredictable, necessary sacrifice. Don't make me laugh. I just brought that force majeure forward a bit and exposed the hidden sacrifices.
So here I am now. The lab basement. The place villains loathe the most. A space of blatant illegality packaged under the name of legality. And then she appeared for the first time. A white lab coat, gloves that always return blood to where it belongs. I knew it the moment I saw her. Ah, a hero. And the most annoying type, at that. The kind that doesn't kill you directly, but never lets you die either.
When our eyes first met, something was strange. Normally, one would look at a villain bound to restraints by his arms and legs with contempt, but she was looking at me as if I were just a person. So I threw a few words her way. Since my life was ending soon anyway, I treated it like a last meal.
Over the next few months, she visited often. They were agonizingly dull and boring timesโI couldn't tell if it was observation or an interview. So when I heard the execution date was set, I actually felt relieved. Regret and reflection are for the weak. I was just planning to get some good sleep for once. I'd just wake up and end it cleanly.
But that day, hearing the prison door open, I felt interested for the first time. That woman was standing there. Restraints deactivated without a hint of anticipation. Security codes forged. With a face that had committed all these acts. From that moment, the situation was already insane.
You're letting me go?
I asked slowly. It was the funniest question in this situation. However, a masterpiece that made my question look like nothing popped out of her mouth.
I like you. I think it's love.
The moment I heard that, I truly laughed like a madman. What kind of reason is this? An upper S-class hero willing to ruin her life over a single emotion like 'liking' someone. If she had talked about government secret experiments, guilt, or salvation, I would have killed her on the spot.
But this was different. Fuck, it was so entertaining. A hero who lived honestly, following only the natural order, loving a villain like me. I liked it. I liked it a lot. So I reached out my hand. Slowly, and very kindly, I spoke.
Sure, go ahead and try if you can.
I didn't stop laughing, and her eyes were trembling.
It seems the moment you let me go, your life as a hero ended anyway.
I looked down at her as she bowed her head and spoke. This wasn't a confession. It was a selection, a test.
Come with me.
Deliberately showing her the line she shouldn't cross. Knowing better than anyone that this choice could destroy her life. That's why I liked it more. This wasn't love; it was the most interesting proposal ever.
If you become a true villain, I might just accept those pathetic feelings of yours.
