Episode 284 Cold
sweats flowed down.
No, it was the sweat shed while hiking, but it might have felt cool because of the situation.
Because it’s completely X.
‘A plane accident?’
It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.
‘organize…From tidying up.’
There was no way for me to find out exactly why Park Moon-dae’s parents died.
…It was because Park Moon-dae had already removed all the studios and organized his belongings.
I was able to check only the parents’ names and ages, but just in case, I searched the article several times by the area of residence and first name, but no accident came out.
‘Then it’s a common incident that won’t become a big topic… .’
Doesn’t a car accident naturally remind you? So I also let someone misunderstand like that.
For example, Ryu Cheng-wu.
-I brought up the aftermath of a traffic accident… It must have sounded full.
Because I thought the probability was high and even if it wasn’t, there would be no one to prove it.
However, a completely new accident emerged as the cause, breaking through the odds.
And I… I rode the X-flying plane just fine and went skydiving.
“….”
Damn.
I swallowed, realizing that I still had water in my mouth.
The canteen was almost empty. It sounds like an electronic watch on your wrist.
The time I’m delaying until I answer.
– Tick.
‘Excuses… There is nothing reasonably useful.’
In fact, it is a quandary.
Everything from the traffic accident and the overreaction to Ryu Chung-woo’s accident to the fire fit so exquisitely with the story of ‘Ryu Gun-woo’.
And either way, it doesn’t hurt to say that something that has already been confirmed as fact is not true.
‘I’m almost certain of this guy now.’
That’s a story I came up with after revisiting the cud a few times after figuring out that my words and actions, even the past of Park Moon-dae, didn’t match at all.
I slowly closed the canteen and rolled my head quickly.
Kun-Woo Ryu and Moon-Dae Park.
– Tick.
“….”
okay. If you set up a hypothesis as realistically as possible, is there anything you can draw out?
‘All you have to do is add one more psychiatric disease to amnesia.’
The psychopathological explanation that Park Moon-dae mistook Ryu Kun-woo’s situation for his own.
It is said that he was confused in the process of recovering his memories because he was greatly helped by ‘Ryu Gun-woo’ and had a lot of emotional exchanges.
‘however…The moment I make an excuse with this, isn’t it the same as going to the hospital?’
It is a level of activity cessation. This…It would be better to talk about the status window.
‘No, let’s explain that there is a status window that is not visible to others? What bullshit.’
It would be fortunate if this was only misunderstood as a delusion.
‘Either way, only the spirit and the ending are visible.’
all dismissed.
– Tick.
In the meantime, time is running out.
Liu Chengwu is still looking this way. There is no countdown when you can feel their gaze.
‘You brought this bastard to the top on purpose.’
He had run out of stamina and had driven to a point where there were no other guys and no other factors to ease the situation.
And there is a limit to turning off the time right now, but I can’t come up with a particularly amazing countermeasure in my head.
‘There’s no way X’s will come up.’
It’s all blocked.
– Tick.
I can’t. rub it once
I don’t remember the plane crash, and there is only a vague image of a fire caused by an explosion and a moving accident, causing misunderstandings… .’ But the other guy hit first.
…is a party
“I can’t help it if it’s difficult to talk.”
“…!”
“Tell me if you like.”
Liu Chengyu said this in a calm tone and put his canteen in his bag.
And I lightly turned my back.
“Then shall we go down?”
That was it. Ryu Cheng-wu moved slowly.
I shut my mouth and followed him down the mountain.
But the tension remained. Because I knew the answer was just delayed.
Besides, now I have to come up with a reason why I couldn’t answer right away.
‘driving me crazy.’
That’s how the fucking uncomfortable dorm room life began.
* * *
And a few days later.
“you…What are you doing?”
2AM. Bae Se-jin, who came out to drink water, saw me sitting on the sofa in the living room and almost fell over.
“I can’t sleep.”
“then…You can go in and lie down.”
“I don’t like it very much.”
Bae Se-jin looked at me with his mouth wide open, and I turned away from his gaze.
It must be ridiculous that I touched the baton with him.
However, in this situation, I wonder if there will be a person with enough nerves to enter the room and go to bed comfortably at the same time.
After being pointed out by your roommate about the contradictions in your life, you were given an answer at the end of the day.
And the ominous serenity of not even mentioning the topic for days.
‘It’s not the eye of a typhoon.’
I’d rather be the crazy guy who says he’s lying every time he opens his mouth. What are you thinking?
‘Damn it.’
I sighed and leaned back on the sofa.
Still, sleeping in the living room would be too obvious, so I thought about going in when my head cools down a bit.
‘It seems that procrastinating at the level of sleep only works if you put your head on.’
But Bae Se-jin seems to have had a different idea.
He looked at me with a mysterious expression, then changed to a face that realized something.
And asked with a slightly expectant face.
“Park Moon-dae, you and me…Would you like to change rooms?”
hey.
“No, it’s not that I don’t want to use my room, it’s because you look bad!”
I see you inside
I thought for a bit, then held my breath. And he shook his head.
“I have no intention of changing.”
“…okay?”
“yes. If anything, you’ll be fine.”
It should be fine.
If you make a comeback and shoot content after being in this state, it will be smashed again. It’s just that the summer package’s nightmare builds up like this.
‘So I have to look for a solution.’
no method. An explanation that Ryu Cheng-wu could understand.
I put my head on the sofa. taste was bitter.
Sae-Jin Bae drank a glass of water as intended, and then quietly came to her side.
“Great Ryu Cheong-woo…He’s a good kid.”
“…yes. I know.”
“Oh yes. you also! A good kid!”
“….”
I’m going to break someone, man.
Bae Se-jin lowered the volume with his ears open, and after clearing his throat a few times, he spoke in a quieter voice.
“Although there are people who don’t get along well…I’m saying this because you don’t seem to be like that.”
“….”
“Just tell him honestly if you feel uncomfortable with him. Don’t stay out of the living room.”
I sighed a little and then laughed.
“It sounds like advice from experience.”
“okay.”
I thought he would be surprised, but Bae Se-jin surprisingly nodded seriously.
“It’s because I’m more comfortable in the living room, but you don’t seem to be very comfortable in the living room.”
“….”
“You want to get along well with Chungwoo. Then he… I’m a bit of a normal kid, so just listen when I say it.”
I’m sorry, but it’s the opposite situation. he’ll make me uncomfortable
I shook my head. Even if I say something like this, it’s like putting this guy in a situation that’s difficult to understand.
Let’s just say it well and send it back.
“I will try. Thank you for your help.”
“I’m glad if that’s the case. Good night.”
“yes. Have a good night too.”
Bae Se-jin walked into the room with his shoulders straight. I thought I had solved one thing.
Is this because he acted as an older brother?
Watching it made me feel a little lighter. I laughed and suddenly remembered what Bae Se-jin said.
‘Ryu Cheng-wu just listens to what he says… la.’
“….”
I lay down in the living room and reviewed my thoughts.
This time, I did not focus on finding an explanation that would not be strange even if I did it.
Instead, the focus was on ‘what Ryu Cheng-wu wanted to hear’.
Arrange the series of things he went through before asking this question in chronological order to fit the frame.
“….”
and a few hours later
“after.”
A conclusion has been drawn.
It’s a bit funny, but Bae Se-jin’s role as an older brother really worked.
I made a proposal to Ryu Cheng-wu in the car on the way back from the recording schedule that day.
* * *
My suggestion was simple.
– How about exercising on Thursday morning?
-In the morning?
-Yes, we only had time then.
Now that time is spent getting ready for a comeback, body care is mostly back to diet and fast, intense calorie-burning routines.
As expected, it means that I don’t have time to exercise leisurely, but this offer means that I will spend the few meals and breaks a week on exercise.
Liu Qingyu looked a bit puzzled, but soon nodded.
– Yes, it’s fine.
And now that it was time for the appointment and he came out to exercise, he seemed a little surprised.
“Are you okay here?”
“sure.”
It was because it was the same hiking trail that I had been tired of for the past few weeks.
“Let’s go.”
I didn’t have time to say more, so I immediately started running lightly.
“hook.”
It is now closer to early summer and the mountains are getting hotter.
There must have been people climbing in the morning, but thanks to the weather, there were fewer people and it was still quiet.
So it was rather good.
‘Because no one will listen.’
I stopped on the middle of the mountain where few people were.
Of course, it’s not just because people stopped.
“hmm?”
“As you said, I don’t think you need to go all the way to the top. It was best to see it here.”
“Oh yeah?”
Liu Qingyu looked a little embarrassed, but soon nodded. And I turned my gaze to the landscape.
“It has grown thicker.”
“Iknow, right.”
I tuned in for a moment, looked at the superb view, and then caught my breath.
And timed it.
‘I would have guessed it had come this far.’
It was because he gave me time to prepare my mind by coming to the exact route he asked me to ask.
No, I would have guessed from the point I suddenly suggested exercise in the first place.
‘The answer to the contradiction pointed out by you.’
Sure enough, Liu Chengyu slowly opened his mouth.
“…Um, do you have something you want to say?”
I shook my head.
I didn’t come up with what I wanted to say because I came up with an excuse that fits the situation well enough to turn the situation around.
What I thought of after hearing Bae Se-jin’s words last night was something else.
“I have nothing to say…I have something to say.”
It’s just right.
Ryu Cheng-wu had the right to receive an answer to this question.
‘This guy convinced me that I was giving a shit to him because I was reminded of my parents’ accident and moved on.’
Even after that, he said that he suddenly remembered, and cooperated without opposition to my actions to find ‘Ryu Gun-woo’. Simply because you might know that you are a relative.
However, the reasons and explanations I gave while I was there were all inconsistent.
‘It’s to the extent that I’m not angry.’
This guy didn’t dig anything. Being caught up in it, I only noticed a seemingly deceptive contradiction.
‘Honestly, even if I found an appropriate excuse here, the moment another contradiction comes out, it’s over… .’
At that point, it means that it’s a group, it’s Nabal, and there’s nothing strange about losing me.
Even after he figured out the situation, he waited with his mouth shut for quite a while until he got the timing right.
Maybe until the time when I recover my physical strength and mentality.
‘What I dared to say at the top was this, let’s just do some exercise and refresh ourselves and then talk quietly… .’
This was neither malicious nor intrusive.
So, at least, I thought I should tell you at least the sincerity that removed the unreality of the reset and the status window… that a conclusion has been drawn.
‘Whether that makes sense is another matter.’
Either way, there is no convincing explanation. So if a person has a fucking conscience, he should do this much.
I sighed and spoke slowly.
“brother.”
“huh.”
“now…I know that words and situations may not seem right.”
I reflexively put my hand in my pocket, then removed it when I realized I was no longer smoking.
and spoke slowly
“I have never lied.”
“….”
“what…Even if I try to explain, I’m not in a situation that I understand very much… Oh, it’s not a mental problem. It’s not like you mistook me for someone else or identified with me.”
This bastard, with the best intentions, will send me to a mental hospital if I mess with it. I held back a sigh and brushed the back of my neck.
“just…I acted the way I did.”
Liu Cheng-wu did not refute. I continued talking.
“It is true that traffic accidents and fires are inconvenient for me because of my parents’ accident. Of course, hyung might think that I gave a shit about the reasons that weren’t true during the summer package, but… .”
“for a moment.”
Liu Qingyu cut off his words with a slightly embarrassed expression.
And he smiled bitterly.
“It’s Moondae. I think there is some misunderstanding… I’m not going to distrust you or question you.”
what?
“When is the summer package? No one who sees you at that time will ever say that the pain was made up. I don’t think you lied.”
I blankly listened to what he was saying.
“and…You saved my life when you almost died. It’s a fact that will never change. yes?”
that….
“Who is going to be angry with a lifesaver if he doesn’t speak well? Don’t worry about that.”
Liu Qingyu slowly added his words.
“What I want to ask is this. Mundae.”
“….”
“Do you need help right now?”
