Chapter 215
Theatrical Regression Life
Episode 215 Lee Jae
-heon, who is used as a cider element in the story, is mainly portrayed as an old man manager.
An old man generally refers to an authoritarian and rude person who forces old-fashioned thinking, but Lee Jae-heon, before remembering his past life, had many strange aspects that would make it difficult to call him a typical old man. The most representative part was that he went to work early in the morning to deliberately harass others.
In fact, the victim who was being harassed by him could not have thought much of it. Well, once it happens, itâs the same as being irritated, and right now Iâm having a hard time and suffering, so whatâs the point of a human being who wants me to disappear into space?
ââ¦hmm.â
Lee Jae-heon himself felt the same way when he remembered his past life.
âAn ordinary old man.â
Unfortunately, it was a disaster that occurred because his past life was unusual.
If he had grown up in a slightly more normal family, he would have felt something was strange. For example, being overly vain or obsessed with appearances⦠Even if we assume that everything is possible up to this point, such as going to work first in a subject where you sleep a lot and finding fault with others. Itâs about desperately trying to put others down.
Jaeheon Lee knew why he was making such âeffortâ, but he didnât think it was a problem. This was because, unlike the sense of disparity felt in knowledge related to survival, there was nothing strange about âeffortâ either in the memories of the past life or the current life.
âVery ordinary.â
Other oldies donât go this far, but thatâs a personal characteristic.
âEveryone makes this kind of âeffortâ in their lives, right?â
Donât you live your life in a way that gives legitimacy to it by putting others down?
Itâs about finding a reason to live.

âJaeheon.
âWhat is it?â
To Lee Jae-heonâs blunt answer, his older brother Lee Jae-hyung responded.
-What are you going to do next weekend?
âweekend? âI donât think thereâs anything in particular⦠Is something going on?â
âAre we only meeting for work?
âWe only meet for work.â
âLook at the guy who is still upset about the prank he played last time.
âHey, pleaseâ¦.â
Jiik-
âBottom line.â
Lee Jae-heon, dragging his slippers, looked at the mirror. In contrast to his mildly irritated voice, his face has a pale, dry expression.
And the person in the mirror changes.
-Itâs nothing special, but I bought a small boat this time. Do you know your hobby?
âThat, that⦠Itâs a very bad quality drink. âItâs really evil.â
A gloomy and desolate impression. All of the hair was slicked back, but a few strands of hair were sticking out on the sides. Eyes resembling snakes and deep dark circles beneath them. Thin eyebrows curved into a nasolabial shape. There are two dots in the lower right corner of the mouthâ¦
He is an uncomfortable person even though he is not making any facial expressions.
-What is fishing? Why is that?
âThey pretend to be fishing and just park next to someone so they can look around because theyâre bored.â
âHey, why is that evil? Only then can you recognize what this person is like. Isnât this all the know-how of life, Jaeheon?
âWhat a trivial thing to sayâ¦â
The man in the mirror
slightly lifts his lips to mock me.
âIf youâre going to talk nonsense, Iâll hang up.â
Maybe he has such a terrible smile.
ââ¦As expected, I like your face better now.â
Thatâs just the face of a traitor.
The overall impression of the face before was thin and sharp. His lips and eyes were thin, and his frame itself was thin, so it was common for him to be looked down upon when he was young. As I got older, I learned how to set the mood, but I donât know how much trouble I had when I couldnât even do that.
On the other hand, his face was satisfied now. Being moderately handsome and moderately ferocious at least doesnât give the impression of being looked down upon. It was amazing that Choi Min-hong and Jang Seo-ah approached Lee Jae-heon without hesitation.
-Ah, crap. Itâs been a while since my brother called, and he was so excitedâ¦
âShall I hang up?â
âLetâs go fishing together, okay? Do you know how good this brother is at making spicy stew?
âWhat kind of ship are you going on?â
-You know why itâs just like that. A fur coat carried by old people. Something old. Well, if youâre going overseas, if you want to fish properly, you have to do it in wind and rain. huh? In the dark early morning. That is the true taste of fishing.
âYou have very unique tastes⦠What about the stuff you used before?â
-Iâm sick of the engine sound. Well⦠Iâm taking this opportunity to change.
âBe frugal.â
-Are you being sarcastic? Hey, our Jaeheon has grown up a lot? What?
Ah, itâs gone.
ââ¦Anyway, arenât you saying we should go together? âThe main point.â
-yes? I know youâre free anyway, brother. Would you have called me without even looking into your schedule?
âI told you a minute ago that I was free.â
-Oh, stop talking back.
âItâs mine.â
-come? know? If you donât come, Mr. You wonât leave me alone.
âWhen did you leave me aloneâ¦?â
-You could have just left us alone.
The mirror, which had returned to its original state, only reflected a man with a grim and dry expression. Jaeheon Lee slowly swept the mirror down with his hand.
âWhere are you going to catch it? You have to tell me.â
-Hey, what about fishing? Of course itâs Busan, right? Brother Lee will teach you the essence of fishing.
âPlease text me the address⦠From what I heard, it sounds like early morning fishing. What time will you be going? âWe will adjust accordingly.â
âWell, about 3 oâclockâ¦? Iâm looking at it around 3 or 4 oâclock.
âOh, I have to be hit by that cold wind at that time? Wow, reallyâ¦â
âIs it because your brother is also getting hit? If this bastard comes, he will come quickly. I didnât know about this noble heart that wants to take care of my younger brother.
âAnyway, I understand.â
Talk.
Look at the mirror with your finger.
âItâs been a while since Iâve been to the seaâ¦â
For a moment, nothing was reflected in the mirror.
ââ¦I should take some motion sickness medicine.â
-Thatâs good.
âWhile Iâm gone, I should catch some too.â
Lee Jae-heon quietly leaned his forehead against the mirror surface with the hand that was not holding the cell phone. I smiled as I saw myself reflected again through narrowed eyes.
âThis time⦠I should do better.â
It was a smile similar to the face from my previous life that laughed at me in the mirror earlier.
-you? Hey, donât be funny. I know that you are cursed by the sea, the sky knows, and the sea knows. Itâs hard to catch a lot⦠Donât go and throw up.
âBecause the real person has a really bad personality. âWhen your younger brother declares that he will do his best, isnât that what an older brother is? He accepts it with a heavenly heart and says, âOh, oh?ââ
âThatâs why Iâm calling you this time to teach you about fishing. How generous.
fishing.
Go fishing.
âWell⦠that aside.â
Is what youâre talking about really fishing to catch fish?
âDo you seem to be in a good mood?â
-Oh, did you feel it? Itâs nothing special⦠should I just say itâs a small joy. Something fun happened.
âAre you playing with fire?â
â Shut up, Mr. Wa Wa. Wow⦠if she hears that, weâll both be shocked. You, you bastard. He hung out with bad guys and said such promiscuous thingsâ¦
âAre you ignoring the manager? Who is calling you a brat? âAnd heâs so promiscuous that he canât even hold a womanâs hand.â
-Oh, thatâs it. What can I say? Iâll tell you the time and location, so Iâll come on time. huh? You will learn a lot after coming. My brother thinks of you like this, Jaeheon.
âI donât know what youâre talking about⦠Iâm hanging up.â
-OK.
Jaeheon Lee quietly looked down at his phone as the call suddenly hung up.
ââ¦.â
I mutter in the pure white bathroom.
âIt wouldnât be wrong.â
Playing with fire is usually used in three meanings.
First, playing with fire. Second, indiscriminate association. And thirdâ¦
ââ¦Ah.â
Dangerous work.
âIf I get hurt this time, are you going to get criticized again?â
Then Iâll hide it as best as I can. Fluffy chicks, faint.
Lee Jae-heon, who casually recited a story that would make survivors faint upon hearing it, quietly left the bathroom and put on a soft brown knit cardigan. I let my hair, which had always been slicked back, fall down naturally, and found immaculate white sneakers among my shoes.
Lee Jae-heon, casually wearing a long, loose cardigan, left the house.
âOh my gosh, teacher!â
A familiar, cheerful voice is now heard.
âWhy did you come out so early?â
When Lee Jae-heon looked surprised, his opponent, CEO Jeong-man Choi, grinned.
âHahaha, today is the day we treat ourselves, so of course we have to come out quickly. âCome on, Minhong says hello.â
âhello!â
Minhong Choi, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, pops out the window and says hello. As I roughly stroke that round head, the curly feel feels good in my hand. President Choi Jeong-man, who was smiling happily as he looked at the two, tapped the seat next to me and said.
âPlease get in. I was warming up the seat.â
âWow, such considerationâ¦.â
âYou didnât even receive an envelope of money, but you have to do something like thisâ¦. More than that, you came out dressed very stylishly today, didnât you? âI thought some celebrity was walking by!â
âWow, this is so embarrassing.â
âI usually only see people wearing suits, but seeing them in comfortable clothes like this feels differentâ¦â
Itâs a good thing if you look like that.
âIf a person who normally dresses tightly dresses casually, their impression will look different.â
You might think, âOh, heâs a person with this kind of side,â or you might think, âHe looks really comfortable, unlike usual.â Either way, it is pleasing to Lee Jae-heon, who wants to leave a comfortable impression without being burdensome to the Choi family. Wasnât the coordination set up with that in mind from the beginning?
In order to listen to their deep circumstances and gain their trust, I had to appear as easy to deal with as possible. Even though Choi Min-hong didnât know, President Choi Jeong-man still remained wary.
âMy younger brotherâ¦â
âHe told me to come and have fun with the guys. âHe said he had plans with his friends today.â
âFortunately, the. âIt would be difficult for someone as flower-like as your younger brother to join a menâs bathhouse like this.â
âyes? Ahahahahaha! Like a flowerâ¦! Wow, wow, looking at what youâre saying, I guess youâve been in a relationship. He should have heard thisâ¦.â
âIsnât Hong Il-jeom always tired wherever he goes?â
Lee Jae-heon, who let out a light-hearted laugh, turned his body back and looked at Choi Min-hong. The child muttered, âHongiljeom?â and was thinking about a word I didnât know.
âMinhong.â
Minhong is not a child, it is âMinhong-ahâ.
ââ¦yes.â
Cleverly, he seemed to have noticed the difference and slowly dragged his body, which had been buried backwards, forward and snuggled into the passenger seat. Jaeheon Lee smiled slightly and held out his hand as he looked at her with his characteristic duck mouth poking out as if he was concentrating.
âgift.â
âgift.â
âMinhong gave you a gift last time, so I gave you something in return.â
ââ¦.â
What he gave the child as a gift was a toy ring made of gold wire. It is Lee Jae-heonâs handmade product with a fake pearl threaded in the center. He sighed inwardly at the memory of the hard work he had to do to make it with dexterity that seemed to exist or not.
âIt was made by my uncle.â
âOh, I recognized it right away.â
ââ¦I like this.â
I was worried because he was at the age where he would like toy swords, but surprisingly, his face was bright.
âI like this.â
Choi Min-hong, who keeps muttering, is kneading the toy ring. Just like when you massage Lee Jae-heonâs hand, you press it with your fingers and massage it.
ââ¦.â
Iâm glad if you like it.
