Episode 432:
An hour after the incident, Lee Jae-heon woke up completely and cursed at his past self.
“I don’t usually do this….”
“Ha Seong-yoon, can you come?”
“Why don’t you listen to me? Ha Seong-yoon Isn’t that guy a doctor? “Why call someone who is busy?”
“I just spoke on the phone. “I can stop by later.”
“No, but these people are real.”
“I’m glad it’s close to home.”
“Can’t you hear me?”
There’s no fucking way to fix this.
‘Why did I do that?’
Jaeheon Lee said the typical regretful line in his mind and covered his face with both hands. No matter how similar my junior and Jeong In-ho were, I couldn’t understand it. Even though he was asleep, he was clearly mistaking me for someone else and saying something like that.
Kwon Yeon-hee approached Lee Jae-heon, who was sitting blankly on the sofa and reflecting. Then, he grabs both of Lee Jae-heon’s hands with his small hands. It is a sight to see him shouting solemnly with a soft face.
“Manager, repeat the ‘I Am Precious Series’!”
“…How dare this hamster, who isn’t even worth a bite, to the manager…”
“Bokchang!”
“I am precious. I will not commit suicide. “I wouldn’t even dream of it.”
“Yes.”
“Oh, I understand, it was a mistake. “I won’t do it.”
“It’s incredibly unbelievable. mistake? What was the mistake? “A mistake in saying my truth out loud?”
“No? “Is that the only trust you have in your manager?”
“It seems a bit like that.”
“This bastard.”
“Muaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…! My bag…!”
Lee Jae-heon grabbed Kwon Yeon-hee’s cheeks and stretched them. No matter how many mistakes I made, it was ridiculous for me to be ripped off by such a small subordinate. As I looked away from my red cheeks, I saw Kwon Yeon-hee with a sad face running away behind Kang Min-ah.
“The manager is harassing me…!”
“Our Yeonhee didn’t say anything wrong, so why are you so grumpy?”
Lee Jae-heon frowned at those words.
“That kid is so arrogant.”
“Again, I said something I didn’t mean to say.”
“Who decides that decision? “Isn’t it me?”
“Oh my…”
“Are you sighing in front of the manager now?”
Noh Yeon-seok, who was watching in the kitchen, intervened.
“I seasoned it with spinach….”
“….”
“I seasoned it with soybean paste.”
“…Is that so?”
Jeong In-ho grinned as he slowly got up from the sofa.
“For someone who wants to die, you are faithful to your desires.”
“Stop teasing me. “It was a mistake.”
“I guess so. I accidentally stopped watching…”
“Oh, please.”
That disgusting bastard really.
As Lee Jae-heon gritted his teeth, Jeong In-ho rolled his eyes and smiled again. Then, as if he were at home, he moved around and took out the two children and Woo Woo-young and Yoon Gar-ram from the study. They came in while Lee Jae-heon was sleeping and couldn’t even say hello properly. Even before we could awkwardly say hello, the two children came out.
“Zombie man. sick?”
“…It doesn’t hurt.”
“Uncle, I have your hands.”
“What’s wrong with you again?”
“Zombie, please give me your hand too.”
“Please hold me, not give me.” I can’t give you your hand. “This is mine.”
Minhong Choi asked back with a shocked face.
“Can’t I give it to you…?”
“…It’s old.”
“Hey.”
Yes, it’s nice to see you guys smiling too.
‘Making a living.’
I muttered to myself and lifted the two children in my arms. Woo Joo-young and Yoon Gar-ram, who were watching the atmosphere going on, hurriedly sat down at the table, and Lee Jae-heon put the children down on the chairs with multiple cushions and then took the remaining seat himself. The table was full, as if they had been diligently clearing the house while they were sleeping.
Noh Yeon-seok, who came with vegetables, placed the side dish of vegetables in front of Lee Jae-heon.
“….”
Jaeheon Lee covered his face with one hand again. I was embarrassed.
“…Yeonseok?”
“Manager, do you like vegetables?”
“omg?”
Lee Jae-heon gritted his teeth as Woo Joo-young looked at him with disbelief.
“Why are you asking me what to do? “There’s something strange about you looking at me like that.”
“No, the reason you look like you’re going to cut up a rare steak and drink strong liquor in a crystal glass…”
“How can you be like this even if you don’t have respect for the manager?”
“This is not a subjective decision, but an objective judgment.”
“Team Leader Woo, I’ll see you at work tomorrow.”
“Ah.”
Park Da-young, who had already been sitting at the table, jumped in without missing the opportunity.
“I want to see your face tomorrow too.”
“Why are you… Don’t do that, really. “I’m starting to get scared.”
As I crumpled my face in disgust, Park Da-young gave me a refreshing wink and picked up the spoon. Most of the meat in the pantry was placed in front of the students, as they had thoroughly cleaned it out. Jaeheon Lee, who was quietly looking at the survivors and the table they were sitting at, realized something.
what.
“…was it originally this long?”
“Have you finally found out?”
“Why did this increase?”
The original dining table seated 6 people. The table was infinitely small compared to the spacious house, but Jaeheon Lee lived alone anyway. I didn’t think there was a need to buy something big, so I kept it as a reasonably priced item. In contrast, this current dining table was too long.
Thanks to this, many survivors were able to sit together, but why…
“It was in the warehouse.”
“…In the warehouse?”
“…I guess the manager didn’t know either.”
“….”
I don’t even remember buying such a long dining table in the first place.
“It looked like new.”
“…I guess I went shopping and forgot.”
“aha.”
Both In-ho Jeong and Jae-heon Lee were silent. This was because at least two people seemed to know who had recently purchased this dining table. Jaeheon Lee thought to himself.
‘That snake bastard even touched my cards.’
I wondered what they were thinking when they suddenly purchased such a long multi-person dining table, but I had an idea. The number of survivors you have built relationships with has increased, and the number of people living nearby has increased, so you must have thought that one day they would come visit your house. The house is not small, so there is no problem in buying a long dining table.
Unlike Lee Jae-heon, whose thoughts can be guessed as he is fundamentally the same person although he has changed a lot, Jung In-ho’s feelings seemed complicated when he found out that this table was bought by a ghost police officer. He was still smiling, but his eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
Jeong In-ho asked with his eyes.
‘So what does that bastard really want to do?’
‘I do not know either.’
‘If the manager doesn’t know, who knows?’
‘What the fuck are you asking me to do when I don’t know anything?’
I glared at him telling him to eat something, but he nodded faithfully. Lee Jae-heon also sighed and picked up the spinach stew in front of him.
“…It’s delicious.”
“It’s delicious, right? “Everything in the manager’s house is in good condition.”
“Why do you look so happy?”
“Ah…”
Noh Yeon-seok’s face, which had been talking with excitement, turned bitter.
“It’s been a while… It’s fun to be together again…” “
…Next time, just hold on to Director Kang’s hand.”
“How dare I do such a shameless thing!”
“If you don’t like Ait, just hold Jeong In-ho’s black hand.”
“no, I do not want!”
“What are you asking me to do about this?”
Still, I thought.
‘Next turn, I guess Noh Yeon-seok will go as well.’
It seems that the time spent alone was very painful.
Well, unless you were someone like Lee Jae-heon who was familiar with all kinds of creatures, the average person would have had a hard time withstanding it. The position of the manager I depended on is empty, but people act as if it exists, and even a ghost police officer occasionally appears pretending to be the manager.
“….”
I’m a bit out of my mind.
‘…is this the next burnout after Jung In-ho?’
I don’t even know what I’m doing here, but the things I don’t know and the settings I need to know are increasing. I’m thinking about throwing it all away and letting it all go. So, I feel a bit helpless.
I have lived my life believing that a person’s most important asset is his or her mind. That thought still remains unchanged. Once the mind is worn out, it is not easily repaired, and even if the wound is erased from consciousness, it remains as a scar in the center of the unconscious. It felt like the memories of his past life, in which he had committed countless betrayals and been betrayed, were gnawing away at the helpless brain of Jaeheon Lee.
Lee Jae-heon defined it as a listless reason, like a person suffering from hunger.
“….”
My mind feels strangely cool.
“…Chief, are you eating?”
“I’m eating.”
“…Are you okay?”
“No, just a little.”
define.
“Because I’m tired.”
I needed someone to tell me what to do and what I could get.
“….”
“….”
“…What is it?”
Jaeheon Lee’s shoulders trembled at the quiet table. The survivors were looking at Lee Jae-heon with their eyes wide open. As he quietly put down his spoon out of an unknown sense of foreboding, Garam Yoon, who was sitting next to him, placed a hand on his shoulder.
“Where are you going?”
“…I’m not going.”
I don’t know why the power is so strong even though it’s not even a secret world.
Ten minutes later, Lee Jae-heon found himself wrapped in a blanket.
“These crazy chicks…!”
“I know that, happy kimbap!”
“It sounds like kimbap!”
I was even more scared because I felt like I was going to be chopped into really fine pieces and eaten.
Whether Jaeheon Lee was scared or not, the survivors gathered around him remained steadfast. The two kindergarten students climbed on top of Lee Jae-heon, who was wrapped in a blanket, while Park Da-young and Maeng Na-eun were lying spread out on Lee Jae-heon’s legs. The remaining survivors were huddled together in the living room where Lee Jae-heon was placed, watching TV.
“Look at the big screen. “You use expensive ones.”
“As expected, Royal is different.”
“These things break into someone else’s house and do this to the owner?!”
“These days, kimbap is even talked about.”
“The victory of civilization is amazing.”
“Are you really crazy…?!”
Lee Jae-heon, who had been struggling the whole time, had no choice but to give up after about 30 minutes.
“…That’s enough, just come down.”
“What should I do if you roll over and run away like this?”
“I won’t run away, so come out, it’s heavy.”
“How can you say that we, like feathers, are heavy?”
“Feathers are the feathers of birds that are light enough to fly in the sky. If you were like feathers, would you be lying down like this right now with your legs spread out like weights? If you understand, please come down now.”
“Hmph.”
“I told you not to do that.”
“Hing.”
“I really told you not to do it.”
Just as Jaeheon Lee was about to be released from Kimbap, a new participant opened the door and came in.
“…I see you had a good time? “You have a lot of hair.”
“I should secretly move this guy’s house or something.”
“Please think again about who posted the front door password as a notice in the group chat room. So, are there any patients who say they have had seizures in real life?”
“No, I…”
“Oh my, our patient is here. “Look at how red my throat is.”
“….”
“Are you resigned? “It’s a good decision.”
I had already used all my strength to free myself from the gimbap. I didn’t have the strength to refute anything or run away, so I just sat down and Ha Seong-yoon approached me.
Ha Seong-yoon, who had put on his outerwear that had caught the cool temperature of the evening on the sofa, gently placed his finger on Lee Jae-heon’s chin and lifted his head up.
“I saw a lot of blood because my fingernail had grown. “I wouldn’t have regrown my fingernails to use them for something like this, so I’ll be disappointed with my fingernails.”
“…I made a mistake in my sleep.”
“We don’t call it a mistake, we call it a pain. “Just keep your head up.”
“….”
“That’s right.”
Kang Min-ah took out a disinfectant from the first-aid kit she brought, put it on a cotton pad, and Ha Seong-yoon gently swept her neck. I slowly blinked my eyes at the mild tingling pain. When the cotton fell, Lee Jae-heon turned his head back to its original position and saw the cotton that had turned dark red. It seemed like the blood had turned into a scab.
Ha Seong-yoon said with his characteristic gentle smile.
“Don’t wear long clothes just to cover up. If you want to cover it up, wear a soft scarf or at least a bandage and then wear a neck collar. “You have no idea how disgusted I was when I saw you put a raw hand with missing nails into a glove the other day.”
“What a nag.”
“I didn’t know you would be like this in real life. Why didn’t you tell me?”
“It’s not that I didn’t say anything, but today was the first time.”
“teacher.”
“…It’s true….”
Today was really the first time, these people.
