Episode 591
What kind of relationship was Lee Jae-heon and Park Min-jun in their past lives?
“But you really won’t betray me, right? “We have to make sure of this.”
“How many times have I told you that I want to settle here, sir? “There’s no way you want to look bad to your senior.”
“You must have such an impressive record.”
“From the captain’s point of view, it wouldn’t have been a big deal…”
It would be a villain who was betrayed in a small way and a subordinate who risked his life to betray himself.
“Huh? “Is this a really bad guy?”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know how much it hurt me that my beloved colleague betrayed me. Mr. Park Min-jun.”
Lee Jae-heon burst out in a bad-tempered laugh typical of an old man.
“There was little actual damage, but the heartache of being betrayed was so great. “But our Park Min-jun doesn’t seem to care about my concerns as much as I should, and I’m so sad.”
“Stop teasing me. “I will commit suicide.”
“I believe you are saying this because you know that if you commit suicide here, you will not be resurrected. After all, there is no way our Park Min-jun could be that stupid. “It’s not even a chick.”
“Oh my goodness….”
“You should use pretty and kind words, Minjun.”
“I don’t know why you’re telling me how beautifully you speak.”
In fact, it was safe to say that there was almost no ill-feeling between the two. Not only did the story go according to the script written by God from the beginning, but Park Min-jun’s betrayal of sharing important secrets with the protagonist and his group did not have a big impact on Lee Jae-heon.
At most, a brief delay in part of a grand plan?
“Of course, even that would have been like luck to those children at the time…”
“You call them ‘children’ quite politely.”
“Then did you know how to call them ‘that bastard’? “There’s no way I could do that.”
Jaeheon Lee continued calmly.
“They are my children.”
“….”
Park Min-jun pursed his lips as if to say something, then let out a small sigh and shrugged his shoulders. What I meant was, ‘If that’s true, I won’t say anything more.’
“If you want… I’ll tell you what my children are up to.”
“Oh does that work?”
“This is possible because it is the wife’s side, not the manager’s side, that regulates the information in this area. “Your wife did not restrict information about the captain’s children.”
“That’s a good thing.”
Although it is a subject that can be objectively sensitive, Lee Jae-heon’s reaction was ordinary. Park Min-jun felt a strange emotion, as if he was talking on the phone with a friend he had not seen in a long time.
“Aren’t you feeling resentful towards your son-in-law or his wife?”
We too would be allowed to feel that way.
“The children said they didn’t know anything, but wasn’t the wife completely in control of the captain’s life?”
“I don’t know why you’re adding that it wasn’t when.”
“It doesn’t just mean that you are a loving wife, right? To be honest, I feel bad saying this, but you are really caught up. “I guess I should say I’m glad the bowl wasn’t scratched.”
“Well, it’s quite natural. “Isn’t it true that the one who loves more loses?”
“Oh, it’s creepy…”
“Look at this. “You’re retired, but you can’t even control your facial expressions?”
“I’m retired, so why do I care about my facial expressions? It’s not even what I’m eating anymore.”
“It’s not wrong, but it’s sarcastic. “I’m still feeding you food.”
Even as he said that, Lee Jae-heon did not hold back his words anymore. He just crossed his arms and nodded arrogantly, urging Park Min-jun to tell him ‘what the kids are up to.’
Park Min-jun also opened his mouth without hesitation.
“The youngest has gone into hibernation.”
“Well… since when did my child become a polar bear? “Try speaking a little more.”
“It’s not that I went into forced hibernation because of a chemical or biological problem, but I just became a reclusive person who couldn’t even come out of my room. “He kept going to bed as if he couldn’t stand it without sleep.”
“Huh.”
Park Min-jun continued calmly.
“The second person went on an adventure to find death.”
“Oh, I know what you mean. That… medicine made by the rebels? Right?”
“you’re right. It seemed like there were things I wanted to write about and things I wanted to help others. There also seemed to be a desire to explore the truth of the world. Still, compared to the other children, he seemed to be the most active and try his best not to get lost in his thoughts.”
“It’s amazing, but…”
“And I heard that the drug wasn’t discovered until I came here. “He was very anxious before leaving, but when he had time to think, his mental power dropped, so it seems he couldn’t handle it and continued his activities.”
The last one is the eldest daughter.
“It was the scariest.”
“He’s such a polite and kind kid, but he’s scary…”
“He went around killing those who knew the script one by one.”
“…If that were the case, wouldn’t it be resurrected?”
“That’s right.”
Park Min-jun nodded.
“They locked us in a large building and repeatedly killed and tore us apart. It was like watching a wolf playing with a flock of sheep that had been fenced in. “There were more than one person who was annoyed by his strong appearance.”
“Uh… she’s not that kind of kid?”
“Well, this must be surprising news for you, Captain.”
“That’s right…”
The news about the other two children was understandable.
The second child had an active and cheerful personality from the beginning, and the youngest child was a very thoughtful person from an early age. These were actions that could have been seen if the two people had lost their mental power and were in a panic.
But the first one was very unexpected.
“….”
Was this a child who always led people around him with a shy and quiet voice?
“…Have I been deceived again by the cowardice of the women in my family?”
“…I guess you were aware that you were being deceived? No, in this case, should I say that I was deceived knowingly…”
“What is your answer?”
“It’s not the kind of conspiracy and scheme you’re thinking of. “The first person was a kind and gentle person from the beginning.”
Park Min-jun scratched his neck and said.
“But it seemed like there was no way to calm his hatred after everything was over.”
“Ah… that’s why it appeared that way?”
“You were filming a survival genre film with people trapped inside a building.”
“It’s not survival, it’s just horror.”
An endless murder spree in a limited area. And the survivors who have to escape and hide from the hateful woman. This alone was like a horror movie.
“What on earth are the kidnapped people guilty of?”
“Even that very part solidifies the genre that your daughter created. By nature, the characters that appear in this genre tend to die without even knowing why. “He doesn’t even know what sin he committed.”
“Hey, this is true.”
At that point, Jaeheon Lee captured the point.
“But why do you speak so vividly as if you saw it in person?”
“It’s true that I saw it from the side.”
“This bastard.”
“I don’t know why you’re angry, but I would appreciate it if you could listen. Anyway, I have a history of betraying the captain and being attached to the main character’s group for a while, and in recognition of my achievements, I often got the opportunity to talk to the main character’s group even after the ending.”
“Reduce it.”
“I’m wearing a hunchback.”
There wasn’t really any great intention.
“However, he is the captain’s son-in-law, and he is already in a relationship with me, and according to various rumors, the situation does not seem to be that good for everyone, so I stopped by to check.”
“What happened to their lovers that made them such bad people?”
“People in the world cannot solve all difficulties and despair with love like you. Unlike the captain, who overcame and accepted everything with the power of love, the children were very rational…”
“Is this a subtle change from earlier?”
“The person was so broken that the people around them didn’t know what to do.”
“hmm.”
Jaeheon Lee gently stroked the corner of his mouth.
“Why is it broken?”
Park Min-jun smiled at that.
“Let’s take a guess.”
“…Are you really sorry for me? really?”
“Congratulations on getting the answer right.”
“Tsk, tsk. Anyway, kids these days are weak-minded…”
“I don’t think it was that kind of problem.”
Minjun Park shrugged his shoulders.
“In the first place, weren’t the protagonist and his group just kids who didn’t even know God’s script?”
“That sounds quite villain-like.”
“Anyway, what I meant was that the characters are not immune to this at all, so it’s natural for them to be very confused. “From their perspective, the captain is also a victim.”
“You are a victim in everything.”
“Actually, I think similarly.”
Their world can be divided into two categories. It consists of those who know God’s script and those who do not, and usually refers to the protagonist and his companions.
However, other than them, the people around them, such as their parents and friends, were likely to know the script. Of course, it was not the case that there was no one in the main character group who knew the script.
“hmm.”
“Hmm.”
And the gap between those who knew and those who did not was quite large.
“I don’t understand either.”
“There is no doubt that this is a very irrational thought.”
“I agree, Park Min-jun.”
Acting according to God’s script was a very natural thing for them. There was no need to divide into victims and perpetrators. Because that was our predetermined fate, and these events happened with everyone understanding and agreeing.
So, the sight of the protagonist and his group falling into panic after learning the whole truth did not touch them at all. It just felt like an inefficient drain on emotions.
“Kids these days don’t know how to waste their mental energy.”
“Aren’t they people who don’t even know that part? “Anyway, let me make an excuse for them. Anyway, you probably feel quite terrible about the fact that you misunderstood and were hostile towards your father.”
“So it’s not a misunderstanding? “I just said that’s what the script said?”
“For them, the script doesn’t feel like… well, a law of nature, as it does for us.”
“Oh my god.”
Jaeheon Lee sighed.
“To put up with such stupid things…”
If I were to make an analogy, it sounded like there were dozens of viewers who suffered from depression because they couldn’t get over the death of the main character in the drama. It sounds like you are harming your health and reputation by being too immersed in fictional stories.
“Anyway, kids are kids. “I thought he was all grown up because he seemed quite confident in his activities as the main character, but I guess he turned out to be a much smaller chick.”
“I think it’s cute and cuddly enough to be called a chick… but if the captain says so, I’ll take it as such.”
“How cute and cuddly our kids are, but why are you saying such mean things?”
“It will ripen appropriately.”
“Do well.”
“yes.”
Still, Park Min-jun’s thoughts did not change.
‘They’re goblins that suck out the intestines, but they’re harmless chicks.’
The person making the outrageous remarks was not me, but his captain. What kind of chicks are people who wander around the world with their eyes turning red, or who embrace all the depression and hatred in the world and harm themselves all the time? His intestines were very sticky.
Of course, Park Min-jun, a wise office worker, swallowed those words.
“Anyway…understand. “From their perspective, they probably think they have done something terrible to the innocent captain.”
“So, it’s not without sin and it’s not a bad thing…”
“You can roughly understand that it is like that. Actually, I don’t sympathize with it either, but I just decided to think that way. “As you said, isn’t that the way chicks are?”
Moreover, Lee Jae-heon and the main character’s group were not just passing by.
“In the past… the fact that the captain took care of the main character and his party a little before a full-blown confrontation broke out may have had an effect on their mental strength decline.”
“That was a device to increase the feeling of betrayal after my identity was revealed.”
“Anyway, the kindness you gave me doesn’t disappear. “It may have worked as a device to increase feelings of betrayal when the script continued, but after the script ended, it felt like foreshadowing that the captain was actually a good person.”
“….”
“I keep saying this, but just understand roughly.”
“Huh….”
Lee Jae-heon wiped the corner of my mouth with eyes that seemed to be looking at a distant mountain, and said with a face that said, “My head is complicated and life is vast, so I just don’t know everything anymore.”
“Let’s eat something.”
“thank you.”
30 minutes had already passed since the gorgeous table was set. Park Min-jun swept the table with a happy face.
Lee Jae-heon clicked his tongue when he saw that.
“In any case, there is no culture. “Where have you been starving for four days?”
“Yes, I starved for four days.”
“…?”
“This body is a beggar. I am unemployed, have no family, and have no money. “I heard that I am behind on rent by four months. Could you please show some kindness to these poor people?”
“Oh my…”
Anyway, they were peaceful.
“I’ll have to stop by and send something on my way. Let’s call the account first.”
“I will serve you.”
Seriously, it’s been a long time.
