Episode 183
Even though the main character, Jeong In-ho, has psychopathic tendencies, he is actually a good person. Although it wasn’t something the author directly talked about, at least that’s what Jaeheon Lee thought.
‘It’s difficult for someone who isn’t good at all to be obsessed with good things.’
Can Jung In-ho not blame himself when he goes back to reality and looks back on his plans after abetting a murder? Is it possible for the mind not to be broken as a result? That couldn’t be possible.
So, there are roughly three things that Lee Jae-heon must accomplish by intervening in Jung In-ho’s plan.
1. Instill awareness that you have made a wrong choice.
2. Keep Munsan-gun alive so that you feel guilty every time you see his face.
3. Scamming Song In-myeong.
…It can be said to be about that.
‘That way, they won’t think of doing something like this without our knowledge in the future.’
In order to do that, Lee Jae-heon had to be attacked by Song In-myeong instead of Munsan-gun, and all the survivors, at least Hong Gyeong-jun, had to see that happen, and in the meantime, Song In-myeong had to be fucked by this idiot. The ending may seem odd, but Lee Jae-heon has not yet forgotten the grudge that left his hands in tatters in the last episode.
So, as Jeong In-ho intended, he did not approach Munsan-gun for a while. Sometimes, when Munsan tried to approach first, the protagonist cut him off on his own, and Lee Jae-heon only expressed that he vaguely felt something strange about that.
‘In the meantime, he also complained that his physical condition was getting worse.’
Later, Jung In-ho had to be shocked by the ‘wrong choice’.
Moreover, in order to give probability to his future plans, it was necessary to show in advance that there was a problem with his judgment. Also, in my current physical condition, I could have easily created that level of probability.
“Jaeheon Lee.”
Lee Jae-heon laughed inwardly at the voice calling him.
“Can I talk to you for a moment?”
“…It’s not that I didn’t have something I wanted to say, but you know that this is a very unexpected first greeting, right?”
“I wanted to talk to Jeong In-ho when he was not around.”
A faint expression of dissatisfaction appears on Detective Hong Gyeong-jun’s characteristic expressionless face. It seemed that Jeong In-ho was very dissatisfied with the fact that ‘Lee Jae-heon’s’ range of action was being restricted and that the current situation was not going as he wanted. He didn’t look nervous, but he did look displeased.
Lee Jae-heon sighed as he watched Ha Seong-yoon, who was next to him, draw a faint smile.
“…Do you really have to do it now?”
“If it is true that there are no personal problems with Mr. Lee Jae-heon.”
Why is this bastard being like this when he imprisoned half of the people in the map?
‘Well, that happened in the last episode, but…’
Lee Jae-heon, who knew the circumstances of the original novel, couldn’t help but find it absurd. I clearly remember him acting more strict and unreasonable than Jung In-ho, but in this time zone, it seemed like he was there even if he never did that. If we run out of space this time, we’ll act like a control tower.
But I had no intention of refusing to talk.
“It doesn’t really matter, but I’ll speak first.”
“Of course.”
“…I think you misunderstand something about our children.”
If it were ‘Lee Jae-heon’, he would start talking about this part.
“Oh, I misunderstood.”
Of course, Detective Hong Gyeong-jun’s reaction was enthusiastic.
‘…Still, if you were to compare it with the previous episode, it seems like they were in a pretty cold state…’ Lee
Jae-heon suddenly wondered what kind of intuition he had from Jeong In-ho and our group that was causing them to react like that.
“Yes. Misunderstandings can often occur between people with different personalities and backgrounds. “I completely understand what you wanted to say.”
“…For something like that, the reaction….”
“However, even when looking at it objectively, I have doubts about the situation Mr. Lee Jae-heon is in.”
It would have been a feat to create that kind of atmosphere with a neat facial expression and an expressionless face like a well-known lawyer. It was also a reaction that showed at a glance what they thought of Jeong In-ho.
‘It’s funnier that you don’t do that to Ha Seong-yoon.’
Lee Jae-heon saw that he had the height of an acorn, but looking at him like that, it seemed like Ha Seong-yoon was also quite good at managing his image. If you had that ability, you would have succeeded as an actor, but why are you a doctor? Of course, it was not something I could say to Ha Seong-yoon, who was obsessed with the fact that he was a doctor.
Ha Seong-yoon opened his mouth on behalf of Lee Jae-heon, who was naturally unaware of his spirit leaking to the side.
“It’s natural that a critically ill patient like this shouldn’t move, Detective Hong Gyeong-jun. There is no hospital that allows patients who are bleeding profusely from all limbs and sometimes unconscious to run around freely. “Even I, who works at such a hospital, acknowledged that Mr. Lee Jae-heon’s movements should be restrained.”
“I know you’re right, but what I want to talk about is a slightly different matter. I don’t know your situation well, but when I look at it from someone else’s perspective, there are some parts that are unclear. “Wasn’t the current Ha Seong-yoon always next to Lee Jae-heon as if he were watching over him?”
“I think this is an over-interpretation. The teacher here wanted to do at least a little bit of work, so he took on a reconnaissance mission that would not put too much strain on his body. But not only is he in a bad state now, but he was taken away by a monster once before, so I am here to help you.”
“Do you know that it’s not a completely wrong statement, but it feels like a very good cause? The majority of criminals try to cover up their crimes by telling ridiculous stories that it was all for the sake of the victims. “Do you have any feelings about this?”
“That’s a scary story. I don’t think we had anything to do with it… but it breaks this insensitive person’s heart to see that they are still unable to resolve the misunderstanding. It seems like they are putting the wrong person as a suspect and pushing them until they admit that they are the culprit. “I doubt that you are scolding us for no reason to put the detective’s mind at ease.”
“That is a big misunderstanding, Ha Seong-yoon. I have never scolded you, and what I see as the biggest problem is the feelings you show toward Jaeheon Lee. Don’t you think that you and the others in your group are strangely obsessed with Jaeheon Lee? “If you know, that’s a problem, but if you don’t know, it’s likely to be a problem as well.”
“I feel like the word obsession is a bit of an overstatement. In a situation like this where monsters can kill at any time, it’s not at all strange to become mentally dependent on someone, is it? And even if it is not something you rely on, I think it is very natural to look with anxiety at someone who has not kept his promises several times and is injured.”
“So, that part….”
“But from our perspective…”
Just hearing it makes me dizzy.
‘It’s going to be hard to make a living, damn it.’
It seems that he lacks mental composure, as he has been swearing a lot these days. Lee Jae-heon sighed hard as he looked at the two men who were starting to argue rather than argue among themselves.
‘Seeing that Ha Seong-yoon is doing that, it looks like he is holding Hong Gyeong-jun here and has been asked to let him go at the right time…’ It
was a foolish idea.
‘Do you think I would leave it like that?’
Traditionally, what third-rate villains are best at is ruining the protagonist’s plans. Lee Jae-heon’s identity did not go anywhere just because he remembered his past life, so he muttered to himself like a fish swimming in water.
‘There’s a guy who knew this would happen and prepared in advance.’
‘Lee Jae-heon’ looked a little dazed and looked between the bushes, showing that he was preoccupied with something. Unlike usual, he stayed like that for a while with his expression relaxed, so Ha Seong-yoon and Hong Gyeong-jun, who were busy fighting with their mouths, also felt strange and looked at him.
“…Jaeheon Lee?”
“….”
“Mr. Lee Jae-heon.”
“ah.”
As they made eye contact, as if they had finally noticed, the expressions on both men’s faces hardened at the same time. The first person to ask about him was Dr. Ha Seong-yoon, who knew that ‘Lee Jae-heon’ was not in good condition recently.
“…Where does it hurt? I’m feeling sick or maybe I’m in a bad state…”
“No, I’m not. It doesn’t hurt. There really is no problem.”
“But you haven’t been feeling well lately.”
“That’s just….”
‘Lee Jae-heon’ wiped the corners of his mouth and closed his mouth.
“…a little hairy.”
It was an unusual situation in itself for the stubborn man to admit that there was a problem somewhere, but right after saying those words, ‘Jaeheon Lee’ suddenly turned his head and stared into space again.
As if someone heard something.
“wait for a sec.”
“…Jaeheon Lee?”
“I need to check for a moment…”
“What are you talking about?”
“….”
Lee Jae-heon muttered, frowning again with his blankly straightened eyebrows.
“Something…”
With those words, Jaeheon Lee ran towards the bushes.
Ha Seong-yoon and Hong Gyeong-jun looked very embarrassed by the sudden action, but it was actually a good thing for Lee Jae-heon. If we see that this plan goes well and Lee Jae-heon gets seriously injured, Hong Gyeong-jun will also be able to understand the excessive concern that his companions have for Lee Jae-heon.
‘It’s a bit harsh, but it’s okay.’
It can’t be helped.
I just hoped that this would be the last play at the park.
* * *
“Mr. Jeong In-ho.”
“Say yes.”
“So…”
Munsan asked, meeting his dark brown eyes.
“Why am I…?”
To show Song In-myeong’s identity to Hong Gyeong-jun.
“…I’m just looking around.”
Of course, he couldn’t tell what was on his mind, so Jeong In-ho just faced Munsan-gun with his usual smile. The small man’s shoulders trembled as if he had taken the meaning of that smile, but he had no intention of going back now.
‘Well, I guess I’m curious.’
It seems like he tried hard not to show it, but Munsan-gun was afraid of Jeong In-ho, and Jeong In-ho had been controlling Munsan-gun so that he didn’t get too close to others. This naive person still doesn’t seem to know that Jung In-ho is the reason for his alienation, but the conclusion is that there was little contact between the two.
Jeong In-ho hoped that he would go out to scout the surrounding area with Munsan-gun, and Munsan-gun, who had a cruel temper, could not refuse even though he instinctively felt foreboding.
“That’s true, but… Is there anything else you want to say to me…” “
…Haha.”
I’m jealous of this stupidly friendly nature.
“Is it noticeable?”
“…I know you don’t like me very much.”
“I’m sorry because I have a very bad personality.”
I was hoping that I too could become such a good person.
‘It’s really going to be impossible now.’
It was a difficult story for Jeong In-ho, who couldn’t say ‘I’m going to use you as bait’ until he came here.
Even for Jeong In-ho, who would be happy if the bait dies in the process. Just as no matter how much you wipe away the black paint spread on the drawing paper, it cannot go back to its original state…
“This is my personal opinion, but I don’t think me and Mr. Munsan are a good match.”
“…quite a few people are like that. “Everyone has different personalities and different ways of thinking, so I don’t think that’s something to apologize for.”
Contrary to his jet black hair, he had a purely good personality.
“Rather, I might be causing a nuisance….”
“It can’t be a nuisance, right? If I reacted unpleasantly to Mr. Munsan, it was not his fault, but my narrow-mindedness. “You don’t have to worry.”
“No, I also felt uncomfortable with Mr. Jeong In-ho. “But I didn’t have the courage to talk, so I was just wandering around, so I’m grateful that you took the initiative to talk to me.”
It seemed like he didn’t really have that kind of gratitude, but at least everything he said was sincere. He couldn’t help but admire how his good nature was naturally revealed without hesitation, completely different from the pretentious and malicious Jeong In-ho in all his actions.
At the same time, I became miserable.
“…okay.”
I won’t deny that I wish you would disappear, but it is clear that in doing so, we want to preserve our original form and escape from empty malice. Although I will not be able to take the sword that will come to this person soon, nor will I ever help him. Suddenly, Jeong In-ho prayed with a vague heart.
If there were a God, he wouldn’t leave such a kind person alone.
“….”
I don’t think they would watch it that way to be harmed by a wicked person like me….
“…we….”
“Yes.”
“I think Mr. Munsan is afraid of me.”
“yes yes.”
“…so.” I
took a deep breath
and smiled.
“I wanted to provide a space like this.”
Nevertheless, my people were much more important.
It’s disgusting affection.
