Episode 541
“Haa….”
Jeong In-ho took a deep breath and called out Lee Jae-heon.
“I won’t nag you, so come and see me.”
“Hmm…”
“Shouldn’t we check where the injury is?”
Lee Jae-heon nodded, probably thinking that was a valid statement, but then something else occurred to him, and he blinked a few times and shook his head again.
“I decline.”
“Why on earth?”
“I don’t think it will end with nagging…”
“And?”
“Well, are you sure you won’t be angry?”
“No, really this guy.”
Why is Minhong saying something he doesn’t even say?
‘I feel like I want to drag it on.’
However, the unfortunate truth is that it was impossible to forcibly subdue Lee Jae-heon like in the past or in reality. Even Song In-myeong can’t do anything to the current Lee Jae-heon, who he played with with one hand, just because Jung In-ho is added.
“…You’re not avoiding me because you’re afraid of me getting angry, are you, Manager? “Don’t go on unnecessarily. Please show me where and how you were hurt.”
Lee Jae-heon, who was thinking deeply, shook his head again.
“I don’t like it.”
“This isn’t a kid who doesn’t want to take medicine…”
“I don’t like it, so what are you going to do? If I run away, he won’t even be able to grab the hem of my clothes, so he just keeps his mouth shut and keeps nagging me. Where would you like to go to get married?”
“….”
Jeong In-ho’s expression crumpled at Lee Jae-heon’s shameless words, but that wasn’t just because Lee Jae-heon provoked Jeong In-ho.
‘…Being annoying like that means there’s something you don’t want to know even if you die?’
After all this, it was already the third time I came to the underworld with Lee Jae-heon. Although it has been less than a year since I learned the true face of Lee Jae-heon, it was enough time to find out what kind of bastard this bastard was.
Jeong In-ho was confident that he knew Lee Jae-heon’s behavior pattern. And making people angry with such a shameless face like now meant that Jaeheon Lee was trying to avoid something.
“…What… did you do?”
Lee Jae-heon frowned at Jeong In-ho’s doubtful question.
“Do you know that when the owner is away, you treat him like a puppy that got into an accident?”
“I didn’t think it was that bad, but anyway… Did you get into an accident while I wasn’t there?”
“Have you grown up a lot, junior?”
“I’m already grown up.”
“What kind of novel nonsense.”
Lee Jae-heon laughed at Jeong In-ho.
“How can a chick who can’t do anything properly grow up?”
“You speak so beautifully.”
“I’m usually a bit like that. “I will accept the compliment gratefully.”
Jeong In-ho was convinced by the way he snorted.
‘I had an accident.’
Aren’t you just spinning your words around, full of provocations, without returning to the original topic until the end?
Even if Lee Jae-heon went out of his mind, there was no way his behavior would have changed at all.
“….”
The problem, as I mentioned before, was that being annoyed did not mean that Jung In-ho could overpower Lee Jae-heon. If even Song In-myeong can’t control it, then it’s fair to say that Lee Jae-heon is some kind of monster…
“…the more I think about it, the angrier I get. “How can people be so twisted?”
“? “Is that what you want to say to me?”
“I have never been as twisted as you are.”
“What are you talking about, you disgusting bastard…?”
Lee Jae-heon muttered like that, and his eyes widened as if he remembered something.
“….”
“Chief?”
“…Now that I think about it, was this the original image?”
“yes?”
“I don’t think it was like this.”
Jeong In-ho clicked his tongue openly.
“I guess so.”
The ‘junior’ that Lee Jae-heon is thinking of now is Hong Gyeong-jun.
However, the confusion that Jaeheon Lee was actually experiencing was different from what Inho Jeong thought.
Is it because my memories are confused? Lee Jae-heon thought of Jeong In-ho as his junior from a previous life, but on the other hand, he knew that he was the main character of this 19-year-old impoverished survivor. Therefore, the current Lee Jae-heon was looking at Jeong In-ho and vaguely guessing, ‘The junior from my previous life has become the main character of this world.’
In fact, if you look at it properly, it was an illogical guess, but in any case, he was confused by the clear difference in attitude between the main character in his wife’s novel and the main character in front of him.
“Uh…”
Of course, there was no situation where the other person realized the gap in their thoughts.
No matter how hectic it was, the man instinctively felt the effort that ‘Lee Jae-heon’ had made so far, and therefore knew that he should not say much about his past life or original identity.
Therefore, Jaeheon Lee gave a more unclear impression.
“I guess I made quite a fuss?”
“Oh, did you know that now?”
“I didn’t mean it like that… Yes, I guess that’s not wrong. All right.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Anyway, it means that I’ve done quite a few things.”
Unlike Jeong In-ho, who frowned because it was difficult to understand an unexpected sound, Lee Jae-heon understood it on his own.
‘I guess I’ve been out a lot since I became Lee Jae-heon.’
It was impossible not to know because the main character’s attitude was completely different from the content in my wife’s novel.
The ‘Jung In-ho’ he remembered was described as a person who rarely changed his facial expression, spoke less, and smiled much more disgustingly than he does now.
A psychopath who is quietly obsessed with goodness. On the other hand, Jeong In-ho in front of me looked like an immature baby, so it was easy to distinguish him.
“….”
So, is it true that you, junior… have become the main character of this world?
“Huh…”
“What were you thinking, lamenting alone?”
“You really don’t remember me, junior?”
“Are you just a memory and are you going to keep talking after you sleep? “Would the request to show me where the blood came from be so absurd and grandiose?”
“It’s strange, but since you’re saying it so rudely, it’s actually our junior…”
My mind was so confused that I couldn’t come to a conclusion.
Jaeheon Lee ended up just shrugging his shoulders.
“…So why do I have to show my scars to my junior?”
“I know what you’re hiding right now. Senior, please be considerate of this weak junior. “I can’t overpower you, so let me show you.”
“If you’re going to ask for a favor, shouldn’t you do it more sincerely?”
Anyway, it was a long time since I met my junior, so it was nice to see him.
I was so happy with this worthless and ineffective chatter that I didn’t feel like stopping.
“And am I injured in one or two places just now? “Now I don’t know why you’re so upset just because there’s blood on your finger.”
Jeong In-ho agreed with Lee Jae-heon’s words.
“Ah, of course, the manager is now in tatters, like a rag that has been used for 10 years…”
“I told you to speak nicely?”
“But that doesn’t explain the blood on your finger right now. “If the blood is all the way up to the second knuckle of your finger, it means that the wound was almost completely cut, but I can’t even imagine where and how you could get blood like that.”
“That’s because our junior lacks imagination.”
The man still did not show his injuries.
“If you have the presence of mind to say something to me, why don’t you go back to room number 10?”
“No…”
“Of course, thanks to the two of you just going in and out of room 10, we got some information about the wetsuit, but that’s it and this is it. Besides, you haven’t checked all the data in room 10 yet, have you?”
Jeong In-ho summarized Lee Jae-heon’s words.
“…So, don’t worry about how inefficient you are, just go and do your work?”
“We’re finally making sense.”
“Do you know what a son of a bitch you are?”
“It’s such a new swear word that it lacks freshness. “Cheer up.”
“….”
“What more is there to say?”
Jeong In-ho, who was looking at Lee Jae-heon with pitch-black eyes, sighed heavily.
“…Boss.”
“….”
“It’s absolutely not wrong for me or anyone else to be worried about the manager.”
“…I guess so.”
“It’s not our fault or the manager’s fault.”
Lee Jae-heon just laughed silently, and Jeong In-ho frowned.
“Don’t you think you’ll have to get used to it now, manager?”
“….”
“If we say it’s not our fault, I think it’s right for the manager to make an effort to think that it’s not. At least that’s what I think.”
After saying that, Jeong In-ho immediately grabbed Song In-myeong by the collar and headed to room number 10. Perhaps, as Lee Jae-heon said, he was going to redo an unfinished investigation.
Looking at the two people like that, Jaeheon Lee scratched his neck over his clothes.
“….”
It’s called adaptation.
“…Have I been gone that long?”
Have you been around long enough to get used to it?
It was just a pity for a man who couldn’t think of anything.
* * *
At that time, Ha Seong-yoon was in a slightly uncomfortable state.
“….”
Yoon Ga-ram laughed awkwardly at the sight of Ha Seong-yoon subtly expressing his displeasure with a smiling face.
“Are you okay, uncle…?”
“Well, it’s okay. then.”
“I thought you were angry…”
“Haha.”
Ha Seong-yoon nodded.
“I feel a little uncomfortable that no one has dealt with Song In-myeong in the meantime.”
How much did that bastard suffer in the last episode, and no one hurt Song In-myeong?
‘Even if not everyone knows about regression, do you really think it’s right to leave serial killer Song In-myeong aside in the first place? No matter how well I cooperate, the essence doesn’t change… I just watch this pitifully…’
I felt like I was getting a migraine.
Garam Yoon and Seongyoon Ha came to the vicinity of the aquarium with the help of Hong Gyeongjun, the only person they could contact. And I also heard many stories from Hong Gyeong-jun about the situation at the aquarium.
The most shocking thing among them was that these crazy people left Song In-myeong alone.
“I don’t know what this guy, Jeong In-ho, was doing.”
“In-ho, you are always working hard too…”
“Our Garam is very considerate. “He’s kind too.”
However, as an adult, effort alone does not account for all responsibilities.
Any grown adult must also take responsibility for the results. Ha Seong-yoon couldn’t understand why someone who clearly knew everything that happened before the return left Song In-myeong, who was the biggest threat in the previous episode, alone.
‘What kind of mind is this?’
Still, I don’t think it was like this when I first met him, but this friend named In-ho Jeong was becoming more stupid and childish by the day. Detective Hong Gyeong-jun was also a pathetic guy in the same vein.
“….”
Of course, if such stupidity and childishness were a kind of internal growth, I wouldn’t be able to scold them…
“…But shouldn’t people have a degree?”
“…Relax your anger, mister….”
“You left Song In-myeong alone? Song In-myeong? “Why can’t I just trust that friend?”
Ha Seong-yoon felt much better about Jung In-ho, whom he met for the first time.
‘At least I wasn’t stupid back then.’
I remember that Jeong In-ho was very suspicious and wary at the park.
Maybe that’s why Jung In-ho at the time didn’t act stupid even if he was clumsy with his emotions.
In terms of comfort, it was much more comfortable back then. At that time, Jung In-ho seemed to have a stubborn tendency to analyze everything that came his way, judge whether it was a threat to him, filter it out, and try to somehow turn it into something good for himself.
While desperately trying to protect ‘goodness’…
“….”
If it had been Jung In-ho back then, he would have killed Song In-myeong without even looking further.
It was clearly a ‘good deed’.
“…It’s a shame.”
“What?”
“Sometimes I regret the past.”
If Jung In-ho was the ‘main character’, it would have been better that way. It would have been much better if he had been more disgusting, stubborn, and miserable.
So Ha Seong-yoon vaguely hated something.
“….”
I don’t even know what that is.
