Episode 274:
While buying medicine at the pharmacy, the main character in the novel described the pain at the time like this.
‘I feel like my soul is being ripped out.’
Called.
‘…I thought it was a common expression, but it really feels that way.’
Lee Jae-heon recalled feeling lost the moment the pharmacist finished checking his condition and placed the scanner on his wrist to make payment. Because I had memories of my past life, I didn’t lose my mind due to this much pain, but apart from the pain, the feeling of something essential inside my body shaking at that moment was so brief but intense that I couldn’t forget it.
“….”
I had a bad memory.
“Are you sure you’re okay, Manager?”
“…How many times did I tell you that it was okay?”
Actually, I was a little surprised that it hurt more than I thought.
In his previous life, Lee Jae-heon had the ability to regenerate, but because he only recovered at a significantly faster rate than others, he had never experienced the pain of regeneration all at once like now. I guess you could say it was an unfamiliar pain. It was a strange pain on a different level from having my ribs tormented with a hammer and drill.
“Ugh, it’s because you don’t look okay…!”
“Employee Kwon says the manager is fine, but why are you talking so much?”
“Manager, you almost threw up earlier!”
“Does the fact that I’m as tall as a pea because my fur is fluffy make me laugh at the flaws of an adult?”
“Ahh, don’t keep talking back…!”
It’s so sad that I cry.
‘I guess my condition is that bad.’
To be honest, I couldn’t remember how Jaeheon Lee reacted objectively when he made the payment. Although it was said to be a momentary incident, I remember staggering immediately afterward, so I think I was slightly closer to death. However, looking at the silent protagonist and the dumbfounded doctor, I could vaguely feel the severity of the incident.
Lee Jae-heon calmed down as he looked at Kwon Yeon-hee, who was spinning around and fidgeting next to him, and Woo Joo-young, who was shaking his head as if he sympathized with Kwon Yeon-hee, but didn’t come close because he was so scared.
“Whoa…”
It wasn’t a good choice to lose one’s mind while fluffy chicks were watching.
“It’s really okay, so please stop. “I took the medicine right away, so why are you making such a fuss?”
“But that doesn’t mean your stomach or legs will get better….”
“Let’s think positively. “First of all, you deleted one.”
“….”
Kwon Yeon-hee had a lot to say, but she backed away with a face that said she would endure it because she was a sinner.
“…If you have anything to say, say it.”
“…Nothing….”
He probably thought that he was the cause of Lee Jae-heon’s rib injury, but Lee Jae-heon internally applauded his pure spirit. Among these disgusting chicks, it was rare to find one that could be used to one’s heart’s content like this. Even if you use it openly, you won’t notice.
Ha Seong-yoon, who was looking at Lee Jae-heon, asked.
“How do you feel? “The small fruit in the park had the side effect of lasting pain until it healed, but I heard that this goes away in just one second, so I’m curious about the patient’s thoughts.”
“I’m curious about everything, but I’ll tell you honestly… It’s similar to the feeling you get after riding a roller coaster 15 times in a row. “It passes in an instant, but feeling dizzy is similar to something that lasts for a long time.”
“So you’re dizzy?”
“It was just a metaphor. “Aren’t you curious about what the side effects are?”
Actually, I still felt a little dizzy, but I swallowed that feeling. This was because I knew that if I was discovered to be dizzy while the phantom pain that was already throbbing in my ribs continued, the nagging would double. Pretending to be weak would be less effective if you continue to do so, so you had to do it in moderation.
Jaeheon Lee said with a shameless face.
“So, let’s take some other medicine during this time.”
“You’re crazy.”
“Deputy Jeong is getting more and more out of office?”
“Sorry about this. Stop expressing your true feelings…”
“Is the manager funny?”
During the conversation between Jung In-ho and Lee Jae-heon, Woo Joo-young’s face was seen turning pale again, but since she always turns pale, I just ignored it. It seems like he hasn’t adapted to the atmosphere yet, but isn’t it impossible to keep watching him?
“Well, my ribs are fine now. I even took care of student Kim Hee-chan… In fact, the more common injury than broken bones is torn flesh. “Isn’t that right?”
“It’s not wrong, but please at least act a little embarrassed, Manager. “Is it to inflame our anger that you speak with such a shameless face when you are good at other things?”
“When it comes to acting, I always treat you with sincerity. Our very foolish Assistant Manager Jeong says such sad things without even knowing Manager Lee’s feelings. “Is it that easy for you to be the manager?”
“You son of a bitch.”
“Wolwol.”
“….”
The main character’s disgusting smile became even deeper, but Lee Jae-heon was not an easy person to notice the serious chick. He smiled sweetly once again with the meaning of ‘what should I do?’ and then continued.
“If you think you will be in the other world for a long time, it would be better to go back to the park and wait, but to do that, you will have to cross the bridge over the river again. “The bridge over which the railroad tracks are built.”
“That is…”
“There was no problem when we came, but we might run into some problem when we return… How much more comfortable would it be if we had medicine in advance to stop the bleeding?”
When he mentioned the incident in the previous episode where survivors were wiped out in the river, Jeong In-ho and Ha Seong-yoon, who understood what he said, looked ambiguous. He seemed to understand what he meant, but he didn’t want to be convinced. Woo Joo-young, who had always been a yes man to what the old manager said, was nodding his head.
“That’s true, but um…”
“Really? Right? “It’s been a while since I finally found someone who listens to me. I’m so happy.”
“Umm, thank you…?”
Lee Jae-heon said, leaving behind Woo Woo-young, who started shaking again.
“There are antibiotics that Mr. Ha Seong-yoon brought, but the amount is small and they do not have as immediate an effect as the drugs from the underworld. You’ll be tired just going to the convenience store, so why leave time to go to the pharmacy again? “It’s better to deal with it all at once.”
Lee Jae-heon frowned as he said that.
“No, and do I really need to explain this in detail? Do I have to explain this obvious thing in detail? The person actually paying should be me, the patient, but I’m so indecisive…”
“Don’t you think I’m even more hesitant because it’s someone else’s business?”
“If it’s someone else’s business, isn’t it okay to be more rude? Damn it, I wasn’t like this when I was young. I won’t blame you for being an asshole, so try to be frugal when you surrender yourself, you people. “Why are you so lacking in the spirit of challenge?”
“This is really….”
The blurred afterword became an inference. The question was probably, ‘How do I really fix this?’ Looking at that sour expression, he suddenly realized that he had been talking nonsense this time too, but Lee Jae-heon did not change his opinion. No matter how much I thought about it, repeating this schedule just to take some medicine was crazy.
“…I may have said some nonsense, but is it such a bad idea to resolve it already? The day is getting late, so let’s resolve this quickly and go back.”
“If you live like that, I’ll be hooked, Manager. Even if you crawl on all fours, I won’t help you.”
“Either do it or not. “It will crawl on its own.”
“I’m really going crazy.”
“And how dare you threaten the heavenly manager? “Even if it’s embarrassing, I end up buying medicine.”
As I was acting childish for no reason, Ha Seong-yoon intervened.
“Both of you, calm down. Of course, it was Lee Jae-heon who was at fault, but…”
“Why?”
“It is true that we do not have much time to spare. There is some truth to what Jaeheon Lee says, but I think it would be better to consider what the consequences would be if we took on the side effects like that before coming to a conclusion. “First of all, the teacher said there was no problem, but looking at CEO Yoon Garam’s condition, I couldn’t be that relieved.”
As the saying goes, Yoon Garam’s condition was so bad that she couldn’t even participate in this conversation. Even if Lee Jae-heon is really okay, it’s natural for the chicks to have doubts like, ‘He’s not okay, but he’s holding on for no reason.’
Of course, it was not natural for Lee Jae-heon.
“…this frustrating….”
“Say it out loud, what?”
“…So what is the conclusion?”
“Everyone can see that you are blatantly changing the topic, but since we don’t have much time, we will look at it this time. So what I’m saying is this.”
Ha Seong-yoon waved his hands and said.
“Is the value of the medicine high enough to warrant a significant decline in Lee Jae-heon’s function?”
“…yes…?”
Woo Woo-young stiffened at the word ‘function’ and Kwon Yeon-hee urgently checked the atmosphere, but Lee Jae-heon was actually quite satisfied. It seemed like the word was written with the crazy ‘Lee Jae-heon’ in mind, but he was quite happy with the attempt to adapt to himself.
Ha Seong-yoon, who did not know his true feelings, continued.
“Just because it’s a secret world doesn’t mean the wounds won’t heal. Of course, in the case of patient Kim Hee-chan, it was a leg injury that greatly affected his movement, and it was difficult to expect a natural recovery, so it had to be resolved as soon as possible, but it also meant that we had to immediately deal with an unclear injury that may occur in the future.”
“There is no harm in preparing in advance.”
Jeong In-ho, who understood the situation, intervened in Lee Jae-heon’s words.
“It’s just that there’s nothing wrong with it, and it’s not like it’s absolutely necessary to buy medicine now. “Isn’t that right?”
“But…”
“The wounds on the manager’s abdomen and calf will still be the same anyway, so there is no reason to resolve everything today. If police officer Kim Yeon-woo or Hong Gyeong-jun come, you can avoid the monsters on the streets with relative ease. “It won’t be that much of a hassle to come back next time.”
“….”
At that moment, the words, ‘Are you still saying that after seeing my ribs shattered today?’ rose up in my throat, but I tried to hold back because I felt like I was trying to stop him by explaining it in terms of ‘Lee Jae-heon’.
But I didn’t want to back down like this.
‘You guys are going to leave without me next time.’
It was obvious even without looking. It’s good to see people sneaking around among themselves, pretending to just agree with each other like they do now. Even though Lee Jae-heon approached Jung In-ho to get on the main character’s bus, he was not a great man who would just sit by and watch chicks get into limbs or repeat inefficient tasks.
“….”
Should we sell Kim Hee-chan once again?
‘I’m sure he’s hoping that everything will get better, but I wonder how he’ll feel if only the bones heal… If we keep pushing him like this, won’t he just get over it?’
Lee Jae-heon, who was worried, felt a pull on his sleeve and turned his head to look at Yoon Gar-ram. Garam Yoon muttered helplessly as he sat on a chair in the pharmacy, looking up at himself forlornly.
“I want to go back quickly and rest…”
“…Ah…”
You damn chick.
‘It comes out like this here?’
There is a lot of sincerity that has been shown to Yoon Garam so far, so if ‘Lee Jaeheon’ were to hold out any longer, it would have been a character collapse. There was no possibility. There is no way that Yoon Ga-ram knew about his situation, but it seemed to be true that he was deliberately pretending to be weak in the hope that ‘Lee Jae-heon’ would not win and would bend his opinion.
Lee Jae-heon, who kissed his lips a few times, nodded slowly.
“…All right. “Please go back.”
“Well thought out.”
Seeing Ha Seong-yoon smiling happily with a face that said, ‘I raised my daughter really well’ was a bit misleading, but it was strange to say anything here, so Jae-heon Lee kept his mouth shut. After drying his fur until it was fluffy, a cocky chick who didn’t know any grace was pecking at Lee Jae-heon’s hand.
Jaeheon Lee took the bone medicine and painkillers that the pharmacist gave him and sighed with regret.
‘…I can’t help it. If you stimulate Kim Hee-chan, something will come out…’
Even if he is enduring the pain in a gentle manner for now, he is still a newborn chick. Even 18 years old. It was already known that the inhabitants of this world were not immune to pain. It’s human nature to become sensitive when you’re sick, so I thought that if I nudged him a little, he’d automatically blame ‘Jaeheon Lee’.
And Lee Jae-heon’s expectations were shattered when he returned to the shelter.
“thank you. I really… thank you so much…”
“Oh no…”
“I heard you were sick because of me. Thanks to you, I’ve gotten a lot better… I’m really… I’m really sorry….”
“….”
What the fuck is this?
“…why…?”
Lee Jae-heon felt aggrieved.
If there’s this many people gathered together, wouldn’t it be polite for at least one person to be a troll?
