"Gwyn... brother, calm down. Please," Zhu Kang gently patted his stiff back. But Gwyn remained slouched, gripping the sink. Hs fingers left deep cracks and imprints on the steel sink.
"I... Don't want to talk about this,"
"Okay.. Okay I won't. So please will you look at me." he gently continued massaging his neck and back.
After a few minutes, he calmed down enough to look up. His face was wet, but his eyes were red, indicating that he had cried a bit.
Zhu Kang gently caressed the corner of his eyes. "Don't get angry if I ask... why do you hate them?"
"Because they are selfish, Zhuzhu. They are bloody selfish. When.... when you were taken from that orphaned.. I... I was just a child.. I searched for you, but I didn't find you anywhere. No one helped.. I went to the cops...." he gritted his teeth loudly. "I sought help from the 'heroes'"
Zhu Kang's eyes went wide in shock. 'He went to the heroes to search for me? Oh, shit.... I can guess the rest of the story went about,'
It was most likely Gwyn got no help from them what so ever. Maybe that was why this sweet, naive guy decided to become a villain.
He hugged him close.
Gwyn placed his head on his shoulders, silently sobbing. "I begged... I begged them.... but no one came to our aid. No one... Zhuzhu.... heroes are nothing but selfish bastards."
Zhu Kang nodded.
"They will act righteous but are snakes on the inside. But we are different. We are powerful. We don't need those pretentious heroes. We have ourselves. We are the Gemini's that were born together and will never separate. That's us,"
His brother's warm tears dripped down, cooling his shoulder blades.
Zhu Kang gently patted his back, thinking of what else to do. His brother was set on being the villain. If so, he had to take his side...
If not him, who else will.
"Don't cry for Gwyn. You found me... you found me and I will never leave you... never," he hugged him tight.
From that very minute, he decided to be the villain. A villain that everyone will fear and cover under.
His first task as a villain was only one thing. 'Stop world destruction,'
'Well, it sounds like a hero's task, but this is my personal task. If I do not save this world, then my soul will get destroyed as well, along with Gwyn and million other lives. I can't let that happen,'
He closed his eyes. 'Cross out the villain reformation plan. Initiating new plan, 'Separating the love birds','
This world was not that complicated when you look at the whole picture. Altren, the hero, was very righteous and was minding his own business. But all of a sudden, he fell in love with the transmigrated human.
This messed up the whole world setting.
Most of the time, the realm tries their best to set it back on the correct path. That's why the transmigrated humans never last long in the new worlds.
The love gel guy eventually got killed the third year in his relationship with Altren.
This was the catalyst.
Altren lost his cool and fried everyone with a massive blast of electricity.
Zhu Kang opened his eyes and glanced at the wall of newspaper clipping. 'If I can make sure that Altren and 'love gel guy' break up, then I will be the great villain and save the world at the same time,'
He giggled softly.
Gwyn sniffed looked at him weirdly. "Are you laughing at me?"
"No .... Gwyn, I have decided. I want to be a villain. Teach me everything,"
"Really!! Come one I'll teach you how to break through doors and how to...." he excitedly pulled him to his room.
"Whoa not today. Maybe tomorrow. My dorm has a curfew,"
"But we villains never follow rules."
"Yeah but I am just tired.." Zhu Kang smiled awkwardly, pulling at his hand.
Gwyn let go with a small pout. "Fine. We'll start training by tomorrow. I'm so stroked. I'll prepare everything we need," he excitedly ran back to his room.
Zhu Kang sighed. 'He is cute for a big guy,'
"Brother I'm going back now."
"Yeah, close the door after you," he shouted from inside.
"okay then. You better lock it," Zhu Kang shouted back and left the house. The streets were still bright with the streetlights.
The little kids in the neighborhood were playing dodge ball. Dogs were barking.
But all this did not bother Zhu Kang at all.
He was too busy thinking about the breakup plan.
Right then, his phone rang loudly.
The caller id was someone named Ruth. He picked up without a second though.
"hey... Kang, I am calling you regarding your dorm payments. The warden just came by. He said that your payment is due."
"Oh, how much."
"It's about 5000 per semester. Can you Venmo it to this phone number?"
"Sure," Zhu Kang cut the call and glanced at the Ruth has sent a text with the number attached to it.
"Ruth? Hmm, must be my roommate. Which one, though? He definitely sounded different from love gel guy." He mumbled as he tried to Venmo the account.
But a warning message popped out.
{'Insufficient amount.'}
"Insufficient! Shit... I forgot I'm a broke villain. Maybe it's high time I get another part-time job,"
