Episode 610 The
‘daily life’ that Park Min-jun wanted was clear.
That was common. Doesn’t everyone, young or old, want to go back to the happiest and most peaceful times? The same was true for Park Min-jun.
Actually, I can’t say I was happy, but it was more stable than that. The colleagues were just crazy bastards who lightly criticized and pranked each other, but if they followed the commands of the poisonous snake without worrying about the backs or complicated thoughts, they would be rewarded and punished for it…. “
…. ”
“….”
I wanted that kind of life.
I wanted it back.
“…there is no answer.”
That’s why Park Min-jun really hated the current chicks.
They took our place. We were the first to make the poisonous snake our leader and follow him.
We were the ones that he raised with his own hands and used here and there, or that he held and waved in his hands, treating us as equal companions.
The question was, why were you people there, even if you were nothing special?
“Was what I said too difficult, Jeong In-ho?”
“well.”
“The silence is so long that it also hurts.”
“I think he’s more angry than that.”
“….”
“There’s nothing more disgusting than an angry person.”
Park Min-jun thought to himself.
‘That’s gross.’
I found it very disgusting that the truth, which I had tried my best to keep hidden, was casually dug up, revealed, and brought to shame. I was so annoyed and frustrated that I wanted to twist that neck.
‘It only takes a few seconds.’
It was just a pity that I couldn’t do that.
Park Min-jun smiled a soft, round smile. It resembled Jeong In-ho’s.
“I’m sorry, it’s been a while since I’ve had this conversation, so I was hasty.”
“it’s okay.”
“….”
“In the end, we found out that Park Min-joon is just like us….”
Jeong In-ho’s pitch-black eyes narrow beautifully.
“I’m not that angry.”
“haha.”
“I thought you were the same.”
Park Min-jun closed his eyes for a moment.
Then it popped up 2 seconds later.
“So, does that mean that In-ho Jeong will also take my side?”
“If I take Park Min-jun’s side, will Director Lee Jae-heon die?”
“The odds of that happening would be a little higher.”
“You’re hoping that won’t happen.”
“That’s also true.”
Park Min-jun sent two messages to Jeong In-ho.
One was, ‘I am prepared to kill Lee Jae-heon to get my life back,’ and the other was, ‘Nevertheless, I do not want to kill Lee Jae-heon, my former colleague.’
Although it was a contradictory opinion, it was a sincerity that could be expressed freely.
‘Of course, I have no intention of killing the captain.’
Not only was he not a person who would die just because I said I would, but there had to be a poisonous snake in Park Min-jun’s ‘daily life’. A daily life where you giggle over useless stories and have a commanding officer who can use you for necessary tasks.
But In-ho Jeong doesn’t know that.
“….”
“….”
Should I wrap it up here?
“Do you know that there is a God in this world?”
“I know.”
“The god… wants to see the story.”
They will never know the truth anyway, so a little bit of dramatization doesn’t matter.
Park Min-jun combined the roles of wife and manager.
“There is a set story in this world.”
“Are you talking about fate?”
“It’s less noble than that. “It’s a little more vulgar… peripheral.”
“How amazing.”
“It will be easier to understand if you think of it as a play.”
“It’s a metaphor I’ve heard often.”
“The leader was a person who should not be on this stage.”
It’s not wrong. If the Viper’s personality hadn’t moved, the old manager would have remained the old manager forever and would have died while using high school students as bait.
“That’s why the director keeps trying to pull it off the stage.”
The manager felt that ‘Lee Jae-heon’, the only being who could kill him, was a threat. That’s why he kept attracting the possessed person and made him kill him. Even though the possessors are not listening at all.
“I’m trying to forcefully bring down such a useless actor…well, let’s call it a step.”
“The analogy is interesting.”
“There is something similar in that they are beings that receive orders from managers.”
“Do I have to obey that order?”
“There are many disadvantages if you don’t listen. One of them is having your life taken away again, and the most representative example is that you could die in an accident.”
“Buy and die.”
“Well, you could end up committing suicide.”
Of course, this body was now under my wife’s authority, so there was no need to worry about that.
Of course, I wasn’t going to tell you this part.
“You guys are proper characters. At least better than our captain.”
“…What about Ha Seong-yoon?”
“Oh, that person.”
I thought it would be okay to tell you this much.
“I guess I should have died.”
“Where and how?”
“The day I first entered the underworld, I was going to be killed by monsters at the flower shop. “He disappeared, leaving behind only a notebook containing information about the world behind him… He was not even a supporting character.”
“I thought so, but it’s a really cruel story.”
“The person who picked up that notebook was supposed to be you, Jeong In-ho.”
“….”
I saw Jeong In-ho blinking.
‘You’re agitated.’
It certainly seemed like it was difficult for him to control his emotions as he talked about himself.
Still, it was admirable that he worked hard to manage his facial expressions.
“The characters who survive are Jeong In-ho, Yoon Garam, Park Da-young, Park Da-hoon, and Jin Dal-rae. “There were only five people in total.”
“…the rest….”
“They should all be dead.”
“But you didn’t.”
“Because our captain changed his body and twisted the story.”
“….”
“So this is the situation.”
Park Min-jun organized the ‘setting’.
“There was a story. It was a story about a young man who had to survive in a bizarre dungeon. It was a story about a total of five survivors rolling around and eventually dying, leaving only one main character left….” “
….”
“One of the actors who was so immersed in the play started to mess around. They say no one can die and they have to leave, but they don’t leave and just stay on stage. The manager who set up and directed the play was angry. However, since the heavy body of the actor who has to maintain the play cannot move, he keeps sending other employees to try to pull the actor down.”
Minjun Park asked.
“Do you understand?”
“…roughly?”
“Then do you understand my situation?”
“Of course… of course. If the staff member sent to manage the stage plays on the same stage without doing what he is told to do, the manager will get angry. “You probably want to punish the staff, whether it’s a pay cut or a letter of resignation.”
“I understand well.”
“So, Park Min-jun, what do you want to do?”
Park Min-jun smiled at Jeong In-ho’s question.
“I want to live.”
“….”
“I want to continue living with you, Captain.”
“….”
“It was dirty and mean, but it was really fun at the time.”
Jeong In-ho’s lips slightly twisted at those words.
Park Min-jun seemed to know how Jung In-ho would react.
“…Even though the captain became a crazy person who wanted to die because of you guys?”
“That’s none of my business.”
Although there were some unfair points, Park Min-jun decided to become a resident of this world and blend in. In order to supplement the probability, I decided to stick to the settings that the captain had already created.
“I never told you to go out and die, Captain. From the beginning, that person felt his value in protecting others by honing his body, and I tried to stop him from doing that at first. But how many years do you think it lasted?”
“In a situation where one person is broken, the factor of time is probably not important.”
“It’s important. How much we’ve been through, how hard we’ve been… can you say that it doesn’t matter? “Jung In-ho is a very cruel person.”
“That’s…”
“No one wanted to die. I didn’t want anyone to get hurt. “I didn’t want anyone, not just me, to suffer.”
Of course, Park Min-jun’s colleagues were painstaking, nagging idiots who stood on their heads and tried to catch monsters with their toes, but they had no intention of telling him about this either.
“I don’t know how trustworthy Captain Lee Jae-heon was in that situation.”
“But we shouldn’t have put people in that situation.”
“Well, I don’t know how different it is from you guys.”
Minjun Park thought of an aquarium.
“Wasn’t it planned and carried out with everyone’s approval? “In that situation, it was acknowledged that Lee Jae-heon had to act as bait and sacrifice himself to escape, and that it was true and efficient.”
“That was something the manager volunteered to say first. “I have never once turned my back on you.”
“Is it going to happen now?”
This was sincere.
“How long do you think you can maintain that noble humanity? You know very well that this is a world where there is no need for pride, shame, or anything else. “No one is going to die anyway, so the right solution is to separate one person enough to save more people.”
“It’s a typical sacrifice of the few for the many.”
“It’s a topic that always raises a lot of questions and conflicts. And I can tell you from my experience that no matter how finely one person is destroyed, it is better for the many to survive than for the few. “I would be grateful if there was someone who openly stepped forward in a situation where they were forced to sacrifice one person.”
Park Min-jun deliberately spoke more obnoxiously. By putting the setting of ‘Park Min-jun’ in Jeong In-ho’s mind, he tried to insert himself into their own story that had already been going on for a long time.
I would be grateful if the chicks fell apart in the process.
“…Honestly….”
Park Min-jun continued speaking with the same sense of his previous life.
“Don’t they just look like monsters?”
“…Are you talking about the manager?”
“That’s right, that person.”
At least for you.
“You’ll look like a monster.”
Isn’t it impossible to understand?
“Isn’t the way you think different? Even without me saying this, some survivors are already afraid of the captain. A representative example would be conductor Kim Ki-jeong, and another example would be student Seo Jang-hwa.”
“It was just a reflex reaction. It was the same thing as when you turn pale or get scared when you watch a horror movie. There is no one who hates the actor in the horror movie itself just because it was that scary. “It’s the same for us.”
Park Min-jun laughed softly.
“Do you think so too, Captain?”
“I don’t think so… but it’s a bit difficult.”
“Yes?”
This was honestly considerate.
“There is a saying that it is easier to give up.”
“…You can’t give up on people.”
“It seems like writer Song In-myeong has given up.”
“That’s not a person.”
“Oh, just like that.”
Although I can’t say that there is no jealousy at all… no, no.
‘There is definitely jealousy.’
So, while this was an expression of Park Min-jun’s jealousy, it was also an act of consideration that could be seen as such.
Park Min-jun knew how alien me and my captain would be to the people in this world. I also knew that having you endure us like that would be a huge burden.
So, in the end, this advice, which is not bad for you either, was the consideration shown by Park Min-jun.
I’m just saying let’s talk about it all.
“Captain, aren’t you uncomfortable?”
“….”
“Actually, I can’t say I have a good relationship with that person. That’s why I was so embarrassed when I first saw him. “He didn’t really think of people as people, but he held them in one hand and waved them, and I don’t know how… ecstatic it was.”
“…A pervert….”
“Do you not understand the point of what I am saying?”
Park Min-jun faked a smile.
“To hang out with Lee Jae-heon, you have to be as crazy as him.”
This too was correct.
I’m giving you sincere advice.
‘I’m from the same hometown so we just hung out because the soft chicks of this world will inevitably be repulsed by Lee Jae-heon’s way of thinking. In order for that to not happen, Lee Jae-heon and I need to change our minds.’
Based on these standards, it would be correct to say, ‘You have to be crazy.’
In the first place, isn’t it possible to narrow the gap in thinking at each level through ordinary methods?
“….”
“….”
Park Min-jun continued.
“I don’t know whether to kill you or not.”
“…It’s crazy.”
“I think it’s just a question of efficiency.”
“That’s something I really don’t want to hear.”
“It’s just a simple story.”
Rattling.
Park Min-jun raised his glass.
“If Jaeheon Lee begs me to kill him.”
“….”
“I… I definitely have no choice but to listen to that.”
Jeong In-ho pursed his lips.
“Because it’s efficient.”
“Yes.”
“I really hate you.”
“I happen to hate you too.”
“It’s annoying.”
“Someone said no.”
Park Min-jun decided to be satisfied at this point.
‘At this level, I deserve a decent grade.’
He made the protagonist accurately aware of his existence, explained the possibilities for settling comfortably in this world, and above all, foreshadowed that Park Min-jun would kill Lee Jae-heon in the future.
‘In the future, we will be able to carry out the plan the captain wants more efficiently.’
Moreover, by disclosing his completely neutral position, there were no restrictions on his actions. The protagonist will not be openly hostile to ‘Park Min-jun’, who is both an enemy and an ally.
‘…Still, it seems like the main character is not completely unaware of efficiency. ‘You seem to have that level of intelligence.’
This achieved all of his goals.
“Is there anything else you want to ask?”
“…No as of now.”
“thank god.”
“You’re not old enough to whine.”
“It’s not a situation that can be solved by being forceful.”
“I understand everything.”
“….”
However, Park Min-jun felt a little disappointed.
‘These chicks never fall off.’
It would have been better if we had reached that point.
‘Anyway, the captain decided to keep his distance, so it’s okay to try harder in the future. ‘The captain, and no one else, is on my side, so what can those chicks do?’
Around the time Park Min-jun thought so.
“….”
Jeong In-ho thought while drinking coffee.
‘…I’ve been irrationally relying on Lee Jae-heon.’
I try to reflect and improve.
Even if he could catch Park Min-jun here and threaten and cajole him, he wouldn’t do it.
In the first place, there were not enough clues to control and sway Park Min-jun, and Park Min-jun is neither an ally nor an enemy. Since his biggest goal is to ‘restore daily life,’ he would at least remain a business partner.
So, I’m thinking about it.
‘How should I use that?’
How should I use and respond?
or.
‘How should I kill him….’
It will be neat.
“….”
“What were you thinking just now?”
“nothing.”
“I see.”
I saw Minjun Park smiling.
“I wondered if you wanted to kill me again.”
“It can’t possibly be like that.”
Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t.
“I’m not good at that topic.”
As long as Lee Jae-heon is defending Park Min-jun, there is nothing he can do.
It’s really childish, but that’s the reality.
“Rather, um…yeah.”
“….”
“Should all the survivors go on a trip together?”
So it was a draw.
“Including the manager.”
“…Sounds like fun.”
“Yes?”
Jeong In-ho decided to be satisfied at this point.
As an ordinary person, I have no way of killing Park Min-jun right now.
