Episode 518
Lee Jae-heon’s mind was lost, Park Da-hoon was dying in a box, and Park Da-young’s patience was being worn out in real time due to unbearable disillusionment, but it wasn’t a bad situation.
“It appears that progress is being made steadily.”
Although it was clumsy, it seemed like something was going well.
‘When I heard that Song In-myeong, not anyone else, was the final survivor, I wondered how on earth to resolve this situation…’ I don’t know what
kind of accident led to this conclusion, but Song In-myeong was very cooperative with the survivors. It seemed like Lee Jae-heon didn’t take advantage of his crazy moments to make modifications, let alone when he was with his students.
It was very unexpected, but in the end, Song In-myeong was helping the survivors. Other survivors were also finding things to do and proceeding, so it wasn’t a bad situation.
“If what I heard from Da-young Park is true, I think we can save Da-hoon Park.”
“Yes, I’m really glad.”
“…I’m glad.”
Although Park Da-young’s team’s rescue plan is time-sensitive and Lee Jae-heon’s team’s rescue plan has the disadvantage of being largely dependent on luck.
‘…Anyway, it would be a much better situation than having to watch Park Da-hoon die without any solution. There will be time to resolve issues like Lee Jae-heon and Song In-myeong later.’
In addition, Jung In-ho’s team was also entering the aquarium, so they would be able to help each other and solve the problem much faster. Hong Gyeong-jun let out a small sigh of relief mixed with discomfort.
Kim Yeon-woo must have felt the same way and spoke in a lighter voice.
“Fortunately, the. “I was worried that I couldn’t help you directly, but I think I can leave it alone for an hour.”
“Even if he’s out of his mind, Jaeheon Lee is Jaeheon Lee. After listening to the story, it seems that the fundamental nature of trying to help others has not changed. “There must be a sense of stability in that regard.”
“As expected, Jaeheon Lee is very kind.”
Hong Gyeong-jun gaped at those words.
“….”
“…Detective?”
“…Be good. yes.”
“….”
“…Honestly, I don’t think it’s a good thing…”
Hong Gyeong-jun couldn’t bear to deceive his sincerity and made an aggrieved expression.
Even if you think of a poisonous snake right now, no, no. It wasn’t a situation where a poisonous snake would appear here, but I didn’t really sympathize with Hong Gyeong-jun’s complicated mind anyway. Kim Yeon-woo let out an awkward laugh at the sight of Hong Gyeong-jun looking at him as if to say, ‘Are you really really thinking that?’
“I know that Jaeheon Lee has a bit of a unique side.”
“little? singularity?”
“It’s very strange.”
“I’m glad that Kim Yeon-woo’s insight, which is his great strength, has not become dull.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Kim Yeon-woo, who answered awkwardly, continued.
“But Jaeheon Lee is a good person. Although it may be said that there is an incredible sense of absurdity underlying the mentality of trying to help others in any way possible, not all unreasonable people in the world sacrifice their bodies to protect and comfort others. “That’s not something everyone does.”
“….”
“Jaeheon Lee is basically a person with a good and kind personality. Otherwise it would be a bit like it is now. “There is no way I can help others, even in a situation where my mind is strangely twisted and shaken.”
Kim Yeon-woo spoke softly, as if he was telling a story he always wanted to say.
“Even if it is a sacrifice born of selfishness that we cannot understand, the help and grace we have received does not disappear. So, I think that Jaeheon Lee’s abnormality and that he is a good person are two separate issues. “Isn’t that right?”
“…That is correct.”
Hong Gyeong-jun nodded at Kim Yeon-woo’s sincere words, which were difficult to deny even as a joke. It wasn’t that what she said was absolutely wrong.
However, it was difficult to completely agree.
‘This… may be a problem with my personality, where I see everyone in the world as a potential criminal.’
Hong Gyeong-jun basically focused on people’s shortcomings rather than their strengths. It is suspicious of what effect that shortcoming will have on the other person’s life and what kind of crime it will eventually lead to.
In the same context, Hong Gyeong-jun thought that Lee Jae-heon could be a ‘good adult’ but could not be a ‘good person’. It was because Jaeheon Lee’s methods were too cruel to believe that could be possible.
I’m sure someone will be saddened and shed tears by his methods…
“…It seems like Trooper Kim Yeon-woo really has an upright heart.”
Who could express such a bloody sacrifice with the cute word ‘kind’?
It was a conclusion that only Kim Yeon-woo, who sees the strengths of everyone in the world first, could come to the exact opposite of Hong Kyung-jun. Probably no one among our survivor team thought this way.
Kim Yeon-woo blinked a couple of times, probably because he knew the nuance was strange, but then he just smiled without saying anything.
“thank you.”
“I think that kind of judgment is a big advantage of Police Officer Kim Yeon-woo… really.”
“I think so too.”
There was not a shadow of a shadow on his proud smile.
“….”
Hong Gyeong-jun felt like it was very precious.
However, it was not like a well-crafted jewel. What can I say? It was a smile that resembled a pure white pebble sitting silently on the beach.
“…greatness.”
Hong Gyeong-jun rubbed the back of his feverish neck and opened his mouth.
“Then I will contact Ha Seong-yoon. If you still have battery left on your phone, Constable Kim Yeon-woo, please contact Yeon-hee Kwon one more time. “He is a person with many insecurities in many ways… so he may have been hurt.”
“Detective Hong Gyeong-jun is very kind.”
“This is my first time hearing this story. thank you “If there is a problem with Kwon Yeon-hee during the call, please let me know.”
When having conversations like this, Hong Gyeong-jun often felt the gap between him and police officer Kim Yeon-woo.
I thought I could never be like that.
* * *
―… So, it seemed like In-ho Jeong’s team was also making smooth progress.
“Yes, I see.”
―How is things going for Teacher Ha Seong-yoon?
Ha Seong-yoon answered Hong Gyeong-jun’s question.
“We are ready to depart.”
―I don’t know if you’ll be okay if you don’t rest anymore.
“Jung In-ho arrived so quickly and is doing his job. Rather, as an adult, if I can’t help, will I use it?”
―Oh yes…
“The park is definitely stable, so I don’t think there will be any major problems if I leave. “You don’t have to worry, we will move as soon as we are ready.”
Hong Gyeong-jun, who was worried about something about Ha Seong-yoon’s words, asked.
―…Are you really okay with going with that combination?
“What’s wrong with our union?”
-hmm.
Hong Gyeong-jun soon answered.
―No, it doesn’t matter if you don’t mind.
“But that doesn’t mean I’m not worried about the people staying in the park, so Detective Hong Gyeong-jun, please come to the park on time as soon as your phone battery runs out. “Wouldn’t you feel reassured if two police officers protected the survivors?”
―Yes, I will leave the language school as soon as the time comes, so you don’t have to worry about that. Well then, Ha Seong-yoon, please work hard too.
“Detective, too.”
After finishing the call, Ha Seong-yoon turned his gaze and looked at Yoon Gar-ram.
“Garam.”
“Yes uncle.”
“How are you feeling?”
Garam Yoon answered his question with a white smile.
“great.”
It was a short answer, but Yoon Garam’s bright smile was a sufficient answer for Ha Seongyoon.
Garam Yoon touched the fluttering flower petals with the tips of his fingers.
“I feel like I know how the manager communicated with Fitz. It feels like feeding a stray cat that comes to visit the house…”
The place where Yoon Garam and Ha Seongyoon are now is none other than her flower shop. There were a lot of flower monsters in the flower shop with the intuitive name of ‘Flowerway’, perhaps because it was full of Yoon Garam’s thoughts.
Garam Yoon smiled softly as he touched the monsters that sparkled like stained glass.
“Do you remember? “When we came to the other side of the world, we were both very scared because this was where it all started.”
“It was my first time seeing such monsters.”
“At that time, I thought you were going to die here.”
Well done.
The petals made a clear sound under Yoon Garam’s touch.
“I didn’t like that…” As
Ha Seong-yoon looked at the unrealistic figure of someone sitting on a chair at the counter of a flower shop and stroking monsters, he was reminded of the death of Yoon Gar-ram.
“….”
If I kept looking at this flower shop, I felt like I could see what kind of death she had suffered.
‘…Is it really too much to go there?’
A long time has passed, but Ha Seong-yoon still hasn’t figured out the exact purpose of these glass-colored eyes.
I got it simply because his friend said, ‘You need glass eyes to find traces of your parents.’ However, I couldn’t even figure out how to use these eyes other than that they showed things that were closely related to death.
‘I thought maybe I could see traces of the dead Garam here.’
Unfortunately, it was not shown how Yoon Garam died in the last episode.
“…Um….”
Ha Seong-yoon raised his head and looked at Yoon Gar-ram again.
She was looking at me as if asking, ‘What do you think?’ and Ha Seong-yoon responded with a smile, as always.
“If Garam thought that way, that would be it.”
“is it so?”
“Did he not want me to die?”
“Rather than that, I wanted to kill him.”
“okay.”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter if it’s not me, at least….”
“Then I know everything. “Our Garam-i heart.”
“….”
Yoon Garam’s smile faded and an awkward voice came out.
“I’m sorry. Maybe it’s because I’m at the store, but I keep saying whatever comes to mind.”
“I think we need that kind of time. “A healthy life is only when people are honest with themselves.”
“Wouldn’t being too honest be a problem?”
“I’m the one in front of Garam right now, so wouldn’t it be okay?”
“That’s right, it’s okay.”
Ha Seong-yoon smiled at the grin on his face as if a child was playing.
“So… I’m trying to be honest with Garam too.”
I came all the way to Yoon Garam’s store for that purpose.
He spoke to Hong Gyeong-jun as if he had just finished preparing, but he had already finished preparing and had even said hello to the people at the park. It was like starting from scratch.
Nevertheless, the reason I stopped by the store instead of the aquarium was because I had a story to share.
“Where should I start….”
Garam Yoon said he would help Seongyoon Ha.
And in order for Ha Seong-yoon to receive help from Yoon Gar-ram, they had to be more honest with each other. Instead of keeping a distance for the same reasons, like adult responsibility or something like that….
“….”
“….”
Yoon Garam has changed.
This time it was Ha Seong-yoon’s turn to change.
“…I saw you die.”
“…yes.”
“Dead and dead… I think that’s probably the case…”
“Yes.”
“…My story might sound a little absurd.”
The words that came out were not well organized.
Feeling embarrassed, Ha Seong-yoon let out a small laugh, and Yoon Gar-ram, who was sitting across from him, also laughed along with him. Ha Seong-yoon continued, feeling strangely impressed by the composition, which was completely opposite to his usual composition.
“Do you understand?”
“sure.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Ha Seong-yoon, who was licking his lips, soon moved his stiff tongue.
“…Does Garam know about regression?”
“…You’re not talking about something like the idea of reincarnation, are you?”
“It’s a little more harsh and stubborn than that.”
“Well, if it’s a regression… “Isn’t it going back to its original state?”
“Well, that’s right. What do you think about resurrection?”
“…I do not know.”
“Yes, I will.”
It was a bit funny even as I said it.
“Would you believe it if we all died and came back to life?”
If it were Ha Seong-yoon, I wouldn’t have believed it.
