Episode 364:
Garam Yoon felt a strange feeling towards the keyring monster, that is, the ignition monster of No. 1201.
It was a sense of kinship. I felt guilty. It was anger, sadness, and a sense of déjà vu that flowed from all of this. Garam Yoon was distracted while defining his condition. The doctor who saved me was lost, and my other supporter did not even know whether I was alive or dead.
The people who say that Yoon Garam is not a monster or that it is okay for him to be a monster have disappeared. She couldn’t help but see the fire-making monster overlapping with herself.
“Mr. Garam Yoon.”
“I’m sorry just a moment.”
“are you okay?”
“Just wait a moment.”
The ground to step on has disappeared. There was no place to lean on. If you are struggling, there is no one to hug you. Although he was aware that he was relying heavily on Ha Seong-yoon and Lee Jae-heon in the behind-the-scenes world, this was severe. Garam Yoon felt at a loss.
I feel like I’m back to the beginning again.
“I was a little surprised…”
I was just as anxious as when I first came to the other side of the world. As if he had become an uncontrollable monster. I felt like a pleasure killer holding a time bomb knife that could explode at any moment.
‘What do we do?’
Garam Yoon tried to hide his mouth with both hands.
This is because the moment I saw Woo Joo-young’s burned hands, I couldn’t hold back my laughter.
“It’s not a smile. I’m not laughing. sorry.”
“Uh…”
“I’m sorry for surprising you. sorry. “I didn’t mean to do this.”
I wanted to scream.
I wanted to laugh more than that.
“I’m sorry for scaring you…”
For Yoon Garam, the burned hand was both pain and joy. When I looked at my burned hand in the burning wooden building, I thought of my poor family and was in pain, but I also remembered the ultimate pleasure that I would never be able to enjoy again without becoming an arsonist, and I became distraught and disillusioned with myself.
scared. fun. no. Have fun. Run away. are you okay. No matter how many times I repeated words out of context and gasped, the image of Woo Woo-young’s burned hand never left my mind.
So now.
“….”
“I’m sorry.”
Are we on fire?
“sorry.”
I live and only you burn.
“sorry.”
In the end, if you turn to ashes and die….
“….”
“….”
What should you do?
“…Huh.”
I loved it so much I thought I was going crazy.
* * *
At that moment, Woo Joo-young also seemed to be going crazy.
‘Why is this woman talking like this again?’
Even though the fire was burning brightly and my hands were burning and throbbing, I was dumbfounded. I couldn’t even guess what kind of genre Woo Soo-young was going through right now. It was also disturbing to see a co-worker, who seemed to be quite sane, or just a co-worker, smiling heartily as if he had lost his mind.
Woo Woo-young comforted Yoon Gar-ram, who was covering her face awkwardly with a nervous look on her face.
“Uh um… okay. good. “Everything is good.”
“I’m sorry….”
“There’s nothing to be sorry, shall we try to find stability first?”
Even though they were trapped in the burning main room, the burning speed itself was slow and the smoke was escaping through the high ceiling, so there was still time to spare. In fact, I had nothing to spare, but I decided to pretend that I had some spare time. Woo Woo-young was well aware of the fact that the young lady in front of him had suddenly become a bomb.
She sat Yoon Garam down on the bed, out of reach of the fire. Woo Joo-young’s real-life muscles, strengthened through Pilates, were enough to force the helpless flower shop owner to take action.
“….”
“….”
And death-like silence continued.
‘Fuck.’
The wise modern man swallowed his curse.
Woo Woo-young gently closed his eyes. Where am I and who am I? This is the burning master bedroom of Room 1201, Building 119, Apartment World, where the monster’s tricks have been carried out, and I am Woo Soo-young, the head of the planning team at Ohsung Corporation. I am wise. I can solve this challenge wisely. I can calm down….
“Okay.”
After picking up the robbed child, Woo Joo-young took out a piece of cloth from his bag. The bandage that Doctor Ha Seong-yoon said he brought from the hospital was in short supply, so it was a cloth he found here and there as a substitute for a bandage while he was living in the garden recently. Although it was a little dirty, it was perfect for wrapping my hands that were lumpy from burns.
Woo Woo-young, hiding his burned hand, which seemed to be the trigger for this situation, quietly climbed into bed.
“….”
“I want to have a serious conversation, but I don’t want to keep standing on the burning floor.”
“….”
“Who am I talking to now? Hey, Boss Yoon. “Look at my face.”
Woo Woo-young had a long history of putting employees who had suffered mental breakdowns due to Manager Lee Jae-heon’s crazy troll behavior back on track. Although the situation is a little different, I am willing to listen to the concerns of my wife and daughter who are younger than me. Woo Woo-young was a pretty good counselor.
She comforted and comforted Yoon Garam and made eye contact.
“That’s right, make eye contact with me. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay, you can cry. “It can happen.”
“…Ugh…”
“You can laugh at your burned hand. How diverse are the human groups in the world? “Don’t you see that our manager is not a majo and is trying to roll around on his own?”
“I am Jooyoung….”
“I know that Garam views me favorably.”
Woo Woo-young decided to tell the story step by step.
“You know our Garam is a little unusual. I know everything. I know that’s why he has a bad habit of treating himself as a monster and especially likes people with different natures than his own. “Because while Mr. Garam was observing me, I was also watching Mr. Garam.”
As far as I know, the fuck is being squeezed out right now.
In the meantime, Yoon Garam didn’t have time to observe because he was keeping an eye on Manager Lee Jae-heon, who was anxious even if Woo Joo-young was left alone. But the cowardly thing about adults was that they could exaggerate a little truth as easily as fluff.
‘If you look at the group of people this young lady likes, it’s probably about right.’
First of all, Ha Seong-yoon. Seeing that his kind and friendly manner was exactly like him, Yoon Garam would have wanted to be like Ha Seongyoon. And Jaeheon Lee. From what I heard, Garam Yoon started acting altruistically after meeting Jaeheon Lee, so she probably wanted to emulate his sacrificial side.
If you think about it, Garam Yoon was swayed by the two people above, and in addition, his self-esteem was low, as he chanted ‘I’m sorry’ and ‘I was wrong’ without doing anything. Perhaps, Garam Yoon seemed to have a personality that was very easily influenced by people who liked and followed people who had things that he did not have.
“That’s proof that Mr. Garam is working hard.”
is it? I honestly don’t know. The words coming out of Woo Woo-young’s mouth right now did not pass through his brain. To be honest, I was scared of the person in front of me who was showing joy at seeing my injured hand.
but.
“Mr. Garam is a good person.”
I never thought that Yoon Garam was a bad person.
Although Woo Joo-young can easily understand when someone is being sarcastic about her, she has never listened to someone else’s sarcastic comments first. Garam Yoon sincerely wanted to become friends with Woo Wooyoung and had never committed a crime. Even though it seemed certain that it had turned upside down when looking at the fire in its deep eyes.
“I know, I saw it. “I felt that way.”
What more is needed to be a ‘good person’?
“Do you know how many dirty things I saw while working at a large company called Ohsung? Of course, my manager’s family life seems to be at the top level, Mr. Garam. It’s a world where non-humans live in human disguise. “There’s no need to be discouraged by something that has unusual tastes!”
To be honest, it would be okay to feel a bit discouraged if you get a sense of joy from watching people ride, but that also has its limits.
“Mr. Garam, you are doing well, why are you doing this? Among young people these days, I have never seen a boss as gentle and mannered as Mr. Garam. But Mr. Garam, you are still young. You’re not old enough to become seasoned. So, just because you learned something from someone else, that alone is amazing. know?”
“…Hey there….”
“I’m sorry, I was in a hurry right now so I tried to fly the plane quickly. I hope you feel better. I don’t know what I’m talking about right now, but I think Garam should feel better. “People live long only when they can laugh comfortably, not while crying.”
“That’s…”
“Oh shit, fuck yeah, I’ll be honest. I was a little scared just now. But what can I do, I’m less crazy! Let me tell you this, it was Ha Seong-yoon and the manager’s fault! You got the kid into bad habits! “If you’ve raised this little guy so well, his self-esteem will be such a mess!”
“Jooyoung…?”
“You two don’t hate me just because you woke up, right? I keep saying please look at me a little bit, but it’s because I’m less crazy. But this was really your fault.”
Whether Ha Seong-yoon or Lee Jae-heon, there was no one who cared for Yoon Gar-ram in the right direction.
‘The way I see it, Ha Seong-yoon is a guy who has trouble taking care of his life.’
It is Lee Jae-heon who calmed down Yoon Gar-ram, who grew up as Ha Seong-yoon’s bungeoppang, when she became confused when she came to the other side of the world. But anyway, Lee Jae-heon is even more crazy.
If you look at the things that idiot usually does in the behind-the-scenes world, rather than fundamentally solving Yoon Garam’s problem, he would have said, ‘Okay, that’s okay, I’ll get dirty with you.’
‘No, you crazy idiot, if a child falls into a pit, you should think about pulling him up first! What kind of country’s method of comfort is offering comfort by falling into that hole together? Fucking people, they’re really fucking dogs…!’
Even if I think back on this brief moment five times, I still think Lee Jae-heon was crazy. The same goes for Ha Seong-yoon. Even though there are differences in degree, now it seems like they are all the same.
“Garam, let me be a little more honest. It’s true that Mr. Garam’s tastes are a bit strange. Just now, when Mr. Garam saw me, he was so scared that he almost turned into dust. “I felt like a calf in a slaughterhouse.”
“…sorry…?”
“Thank you for the appropriate and adult apology, and I would like to talk in more detail, but this is not a fucking situation. Anyway, I want to create a touching mood like the manager, but that’s not something I should do in a burning living room, right? Yeah anyway. anyway.”
Woo Woo-young barely came to his senses.
“Let’s go out and solve Mr. Garam’s self-esteem problem. I know a good counselor. Now that I think about it, I think we should visit as a group of survivors, but we’re on the verge of being suffocated or burned at the stake, so we have to get out of here first. I’m a little scared of Mr. Garam, but I won’t avoid him, and he won’t be swayed by my burned hand or anything like that. “I trust you will protect me safely.”
“….”
“Do you remember? At that time, when I was possessed by that stray cat monster and locked in the toy store…”
Cheap!
Woo Woo-young grabbed Yoon Gar-ram’s cheeks with both hands.
“You said you would protect me!”
“…Uh….”
“They said you would protect me if you stayed by my side! “You didn’t forget, right?!”
“I remember. “I remember…!”
“Mr. Garam, look at me, I’m such a mess. I don’t know how to do anything. To be honest, I’m not incompetent, but in this world, I’ve become as incompetent as a bonfire on a rainy day. My usefulness lies in reality. Help me get back to reality. Mr. Garam has enough ability and personality to do that.”
“….”
“…So….”
A face soaked with tears.
“Come to your senses, girl.”
Before I knew it, my lips, which had been torn from joy, were crushed in Woo Woo-young’s hands.
He was soft and seemed like a fairly young person.
* * *
Come to your senses.
“….”
“…Did I hold on too hard…?”
“…No….”
Funny enough, it was the first time I heard that in my life.
“I’ll come to my senses.” It
makes us realize that we are all crazy…
and tells us that we can get better.
“I’ll come to my senses, Jooyoung.”
It was so unfamiliar.
I knew it could get better.
