Revenge with the Power of the Final Boss-Chapter 53: Han Se-hee. Тhe main heroine of the original story (1)
In the original plot, she was Baek Seo-jin’s childhood friend and the healing heroine who provided emotional solace and support.
However, her fate took a sharp turn after she learned the truth about her parents' deaths and met Baek Seo-jun, who brought justice to their murderer.
"Alright, all done."
"Th-thank you so much!"
"You’ve saved us!"
Hunters who had received Han Se-hee’s healing bowed their heads deeply in gratitude.
They were all C- or D-class Hunters—not exceptionally skilled individuals. They were mostly people who teamed up to navigate lower-tier dungeons to make a living.
As such, they often carried various injuries, both large and small.
"Does anyone else still feel unwell?"
Han Se-hee’s gentle smile and her willingness to heal even the smallest wounds made her look like the embodiment of a true saintess.
Especially with her cherry blossom-pink hair cascading down her back and her soft crimson eyes, Han Se-hee exuded an otherworldly charm.
Her appearance—a delicate beauty with an elegant figure—was so unreal it made people wonder if she was truly human. Her kind and polite demeanor only added to the illusion of her being a divine presence.
Even her ability to regenerate lost limbs cemented her reputation as a genuine saintess.
"No, not at all."
"I have no pain left, Saintess."
"It’s a little embarrassing to be called a saintess...."
She smiled shyly, slightly flustered by their reverence, and prepared to leave, satisfied that no one else needed her assistance.
"Well then, I’ll be on my way."
"Yes, thank you again!"
"Thank you for everything!"
After finishing her day of healing those who had lost limbs or suffered severe injuries during dungeon raids, Han Se-hee walked away with light steps.
There was a portal connecting Seoul to Kaesong, making travel seamless. Despite only becoming a legal adult this year, Han Se-hee’s position in Korea was already well-established.
As a healer, her official rank was SS-class, and she was widely considered the most promising healer in the country.
The nickname "Saintess" wasn’t just for show.
In the original story, she was wholly devoted to the protagonist, Baek Seo-jin, as his main heroine. But after meeting Baek Seo-jun, her path diverged.
"Seo-jun oppa...."
Han Se-hee opened the photo album on her phone, smiling softly as she looked through the pictures.
The images showed her standing next to Baek Seo-jun and Seomun Ye-jin, smiling together. Other photos were of her and Lee Ha-yeon alongside the couple.
Occasionally, there were photos of just her and Baek Seo-jun, moments they’d shared alone.
It was three years ago that she first became aware of her feelings.
At the age when most would be starting high school, she realized she had fallen in love. But those years brought her considerable heartache.
By that time, Baek Seo-jun and Seomun Ye-jin were already legally married, even if they hadn’t held a wedding ceremony.
While polygamy was technically legal in Korea under special circumstances, the vast majority of society adhered to monogamy.
It wasn’t impossible, but it was highly improbable.
What gave her hope, however, were Seomun Ye-jin’s words.
"Se-hee, can we talk for a moment?"
Seomun Ye-jin had called her aside to speak privately.
"Se-hee, you’ve realized your feelings for Seo-jun, haven’t you?"
Ye-jin wasted no time getting straight to the point, catching Han Se-hee completely off guard.
"I-I’m sorry."
Han Se-hee could only lower her head, clasping her hands together in apology.
She thought Ye-jin had every right to be angry at her for harboring feelings for someone else’s husband.
While Seomun Ye-jin had mostly focused on training Lee Ha-yeon, she had also helped Han Se-hee with basic exercises.
For example, she’d train Se-hee by attacking her barriers, helping her gain practical combat experience.
This made Se-hee’s guilt even more overwhelming.
"I’m not blaming you."
But Seomun Ye-jin didn’t scold her.
"Honestly, I don’t like the idea of other women around my husband... but if you promise me a few things, I’ll help you."
"Huh?"
Han Se-hee was stunned but also thrilled.
It felt like seeing a ray of light in the darkness.
"I’ve thought about this for over a year. What’s more important to me than my selfish desires is making sure Seo-jun’s wishes come true."
What Han Se-hee realized was that Seomun Ye-jin’s feelings were rooted in love and devotion. For Seo-jun’s sake, she was willing to accept the idea of another woman in his life.
"Continue to support Seo-jun’s revenge. Can you promise to dedicate yourself to him?"
"Yes, I swear!"
"And... never forget that my place as his first will always remain mine. Don’t even think about taking it."
Her final words were a warning.
Seomun Ye-jin was firm that her position as Baek Seo-jun’s first and foremost would never be relinquished.
"Yes, I swear. I’ll never try to take your place, Ye-jin unnie."
After making this promise, Han Se-hee received Ye-jin’s approval and was finally able to confess her feelings to Seo-jun.
"When you’re an adult, let’s talk about it again then."
However, Seo-jun’s response to her confession was to postpone it.
"Okay...."
Similarly, Lee Ha-yeon had confessed her feelings but received the same response.
Now, with her birthday tomorrow, Han Se-hee felt both nervous and excited.
She would officially become an adult.
Tomorrow, she would finally get an answer to her confession!
With Lee Ha-yeon’s birthday still a month away, Se-hee would get her answer first.
‘What if he rejects me?’
Although anxiety crept in, Han Se-hee steadied herself.
If he turned her down, she would confess again.
She believed that if she kept showing her sincerity and dedication, one day, he might accept her.
Resolving herself against her fears, she decided to stay over until late evening.
While she could wait until the next morning, her impatience wouldn’t let her.
Even if it meant hearing a rejection, she wanted his answer as soon as possible.

"Seo-jun oppa, I’m here."
That evening, Han Se-hee arrived at the home of Baek Seo-jun and Seomun Ye-jin, and the couple greeted her warmly.
"Welcome, Se-hee," Seomun Ye-jin said with a smile.
"Come in," Baek Seo-jun added, his expression soft and welcoming.
"Se-hee, did you come here to spend the first moments of your adulthood at our house?"
Baek Seo-jun seemed to already understand her intentions as he asked, and Han Se-hee nodded immediately.
"Yes, that’s right. I want to spend the very first moments of my adulthood here."
"Alright, then we should invite Ha-yeon too. She’d feel left out if she wasn’t part of the celebration."
"I’ve already contacted her before coming."
Of course, she had informed her friend Lee Ha-yeon.
Though she would be the first to receive an answer to her confession, if the outcome was good, Ha-yeon would undoubtedly celebrate with her.
And if the roles were reversed in a month when Ha-yeon confessed, Han Se-hee would celebrate her success as well.

Her nature was always to feel compassion for others' misfortune and joy for their happiness.
"I see. Se-hee, I hope you don’t mind, but I’ll give you my answer to your confession at midnight, as promised. Is that alright?"
"Yes... I’ll wait until midnight, as we agreed."
What kind of result would her confession yield once she became an adult?
Her heart raced, and she felt a mix of excitement and nervousness.
Though she had steeled herself for this moment, she couldn’t completely shake off her lingering anxiety.
"Se-hee, since we don’t know how tonight will turn out, I’m going to spend a little time with my darling first."
"...Alright."
At Seomun Ye-jin’s words, Han Se-hee could only nod.
Even if her confession were accepted, the one Baek Seo-jun loved most would always be Seomun Ye-jin. That unchanging fact was clear, and Han Se-hee realized that until midnight, Seo-jun couldn’t always be by her side.
But she decided to interpret Seomun Ye-jin’s words in a positive light.
If Seo-jun accepted her confession, it meant that tonight, Ye-jin would give her some of his time as a gesture of goodwill.
"Thank you, Ye-jin unnie."
Taken aback by Han Se-hee’s gratitude, Seomun Ye-jin’s blue eyes widened slightly before softening into a smile.
"The reason I thought of allowing you to be by our darling Seo-jun’s side isn’t just for him—it’s because I like you too, Se-hee."
"Huh?"
Leaving Han Se-hee stunned, Seomun Ye-jin turned and headed toward the bedroom with Baek Seo-jun.
The two were about to share an intimate moment as a married couple.
"Ahhn! Haaahh!"
And tonight, it seemed there was no intention of holding back, as Seomun Ye-jin’s passionate moans and the sounds of their fervent movements reached Han Se-hee clearly.
