Chapter 460
Theatrical Regression Life
Episode 460
âAh, sister.â
Jaehyung Lee called his one and only older sister.
âHow did you manage to come here? âI thought you wouldnât come because you were very busy right after your business trip.â
âShouldnât I have a day off too?â
Lee Jae-hyung shrugged his shoulders at Lee Jae-heeâs words.
âI think it might be a bit far to come to Busan to restâ¦â
The place they were at was one of Busanâs ports. This place was full of container boxes, and no civilians were walking around, and only a few people could be seen because of logistics. Thanks to the unique salty smell of the sea, the scent of blood is masked and the screams suppressed by the sound of the waves are also hidden.
These two were people who knew very well the advantages of this port location.
âDid Jaeheon come after seeing it?â
âThen I saw it. âHe was sleeping so soundly that I couldnât wake him up.â
âLooks like youâre really tired. âYouâre sleeping even though your sister came to visit you.â
âDonât bother the youngest too much. I am a child who was raised in a greenhouse, so I must have been surprised by this incident. âYou should also try to be a little considerate.â
âEven though the flower in the greenhouse went out and started messing with us without our knowledge?â
Jaehyung Lee wrinkled his face exaggeratedly and snorted.
âThere was no separate contractor in Majang-dong who cut things with a knife, but when you dig up the back, nothing comes out. âIt is not a skill that can be learned by killing one or two people, so it is true that there was an accident, but the results of the investigation are always negative.â
âI didnât know the youngest had a talent for concealment. Well, seeing as itâs only been recently that heâs shown his personality, does he clearly have a talent for hiding it? If I pushed towards impressionism, wouldnât it have been worth it to be an actor?â
âNo, itâs not just something to look at as cute, right? It was handled so cleanly that it wasnât caught on our childrenâs information network, so there was only one person? That said, I received a brief report every month on how he was living. âBut it didnât work.â
Lee Jae-hee narrowed her eyes at Lee Jae-hyungâs joke. It was an attitude of treating the other person as very cute.
âIs it because youâre scared of your little brother like that? Thatâs why I told you to harass me moderately. Then, I wouldnât have to worry about when a knife will stick in my back like I do now.â
âThatâs not itâ¦.â
âItâs an unexpected talent. But itâs still cute. âIsnât that enough?â
ââ¦What a cute piece of shitâ¦.â
Lee Jae-hyung looked fed up at the chairmanâs words.
He also had something called common sense. I knew that it was crazy to think that my younger brother, who looked like a well-trained butcher, was cute. Even when and how the younger brother killed the person and disposed of the traces was still unknown.
âItâs not strange that Iâm on guard.â
Anyway, this guyâs house. I felt like I knew why Jaeheon Lee became independent as soon as he got older.
âAnyway, if I had known it would be like this, I would have connected you with the industry sooner, so Iâm sorry. You didnât tell us what you liked and hid it from us just to keep an eye on us. âItâs all because it bothered me so much when I was young.â
ââ¦Itâs true that I noticed it, but what is it⦠ha⦠I donât knowâ¦â
Lee Jae-hyung scratched his head.
âIt looks like we have a share as well.â
It would be funnier if I didnât admit it at this point.
Lee Jae-hyung admitted that they were largely to blame for Lee Jae-heon being as strangely crooked as he is now. Itâs just that Lee Jae-hyungâs heart was shaken by the twist in a slightly different direction than he had expected.
Even though he was crooked, I thought he was a sincere old man and a crazy person who enjoyed tormenting his employees. I had no idea that he would completely act it all out and become a murderer who secretly kills people. When I was young, I donât think I particularly saw that lack of character, but maybe I hid that too?
Seeing Jaehyung Leeâs shy appearance, Jaehee Lee smiled and covered her mouth with her hand.
âWhat kind of people are we?â âJaehyung.â
âWhy are you stepping out?â
âI stopped him every time. âStop bothering me.â
âThatâs true, Mr. Lee, butâ¦â
Lee Jae-hyung was joking and Lee Jae-heon was making a fuss. Lee Jae-hee, who witnessed it as he passed by, smiled as usual and said, âDonât bother the youngest, Jae-hyung. âWhen will you grow up?â Disappearing one after another while doing so was their daily routine as children.
âYou didnât strongly stop me either.â
âSo does that mean I should have spent all my energy trying to stop my pathetic little brothers?â
ââ¦Not really.â
âyes?â
âyes.â
Jaehyung Lee obediently bent down.
âYou bastard.â
The youngest, Lee Jae-heon, was an exception, but originally Lee Jae-hyung and Lee Jae-hee were anxious because they couldnât eat each other. This was because, unlike the youngest, who had been acting stupid from a very young age, they knew that they could rise to greater heights by preying on and oppressing each other. I also knew that the one who was eaten would have to be captured for the rest of his life.
It meant mortgaging all of his honor and pride, and Lee Jae-hyung hated that. Even though I hated him so much, I couldnât beat Lee Jae-hee. Even though he fought with all his might, it was Lee Jae-hyung who always lost.
ââ¦I just meant that we could be a little more cautious.â
âBe alert. âJaeheon?â
âHe is a guy who has escaped the information network. You never know when or how something will happen. âRight now, heâs satisfied playing with dolls with other guys, but if he doesnât get enough stimulation, he might even show his teeth at us.â
âHmm, well.â
Jaehee Lee lightly stroked Jaehyung Leeâs cheek with her finger. When Lee Jae-hyung looked down and pulled his face back, Lee Jae-hee, who enjoyed watching him, smiled and said.
âBehaving funny.â
âWhat what what? No, more than that, I told you several times not to touch me suddenly like thatâ¦! My liver is falling apart! âAre you really doing this because you want to see a director who is doing a good job die of a heart attack?â
âHow can people be creatures that die so easily? âDonât worry.â
She gently lowered her outstretched hand and grabbed Lee Jae-hyungâs shoulder.
âBut thatâs right. âJaehyung.â
âyes?â
âFor someone who is supposed to be on guard, doesnât he have a very⦠satisfied face?â
ââ¦.â
Lee Jae-hyung touched my face with a nervous expression.
ââ¦Me?â
âYou look happy that we spoiled our youngest child like that.â
âUhâ¦â
Was that so?
ââ¦.â
That might have been the case.
Jaehyung Lee rubbed the back of his neck.
ââ¦Keuhum.â
âLetâs be honest. When I first found out about my youngestâs deviation, I was worried about what I would do if this guy came to bite my neck. âIsnât it quite satisfying to see him lying so weak in a hospital room?â
âNo, if I say that, it makes me seem like a pervert.â
âItâs okay if you donât deny it. Donât I know your heart? âI understand everything.â
Jaehee Lee smiled softly and continued.
âWhy is that so? Even large wolves that can kill a person in an instant are just as nice and cute as long as they are well-tamed. Of course, since its nature itself is designed to attack people, there may be some anxiety. Thatâs why the weakness trapped inside a cage is even more endearing.â
ââ¦Are you a pervert?â
âOh, I was just clearing up the emotional confusion our Jaehyeong was feeling? âHe seemed particularly thoughtful today, so my sister just gave him some help.â
âSo youâre a pervert?â
âOur director.â
An unusually neat voice.
âYou have to go to work.â
ââ¦.â
That was a warning.
Lee Jae-hyung straightened his posture and carefully put his hands together.
âI will be self-respectful.â
âLetâs just remember that I am the chairman.â
âThat is a fair point.â
Jaehee Lee said, lifting the light shawl wrapped around her shoulders.
âSo where is the friend we had an accident with?â
âah.â
âWhat did you say your name was?â
Jaehyung Lee still answered Jaehee Leeâs question in a calm manner.
âI think itâs Seong Dae-young.â
âSo, did you seek understanding from the industry in advance?â
âI did it as soon as it happened. âIt was easy to bring in a writer because we had already said so.â
Lee Jae-heon wanted to connect him with a writer named Song In-myeong, but Lee Jae-hyung did not trust Song In-myeong. Didnât you witness with your own eyes a perverted bastard hitting on a precious customer without even knowing the subject? Since I still didnât like it, I told the industry in advance.
So, I thought that if there was a big-time writer who touched Lee Jae-heon, it would be Song In-myeong, but unexpectedly, the wrong guy got caught.
ââ¦Looking at things like this, I wonder if our youngest child has talent in a strange place.â
âokay? âWhat kind of talent is this?â
ââ¦attracting pervertsâ¦.â
âThatâs quite novel and fun. âEven more so because I donât think itâs a joke.â
Jaehee Lee laughed and waved her hands as if what Jaehyung Lee said was really interesting.
âHow did you do it? âDid you just tie him up?â
ââ¦.â
âJaehyung?â
ââ¦I did try to fix it a little bit in advance.â
âoh.â
Jaehee Leeâs laughter stopped.
âWhy donât you wait for your sister?â
ââ¦I didnât know you were coming.â
âhmm.â
She blinked slowly and nodded.
âWell, they contacted me too late. âItâs my fault.â
ââ¦.â
âAre you hiding?â
ââ¦I guess it will stick?â
âWhy am I not sure?â
âBecause you didnât kill him?â
âI understand what you mean.â
Jaehee Lee sighed heavily.
âI didnât really plan on taking out my anger on myself, so Iâll skip it this time.â
âOh, donât you have any thoughts?â
âItâs okay because I think youâve already enjoyed your share of it. And I also shouldnât try too hard these days. I recently started doing yoga again, and just doing it gave me strength. After all, you canât lie about your age.â
âYeahâ¦â
Lee Jae-hyung wisely refrained from speaking even though he was a person who did not fit in with such weak words. I think he was already upset because I was the only one taking out his anger on him, but in times like this, I had to crawl on my own when the other side showed mercy.
âYou also have face, how long are you going to take action yourself? They say you just need to wash it, but look at my father. If you smell too much blood, itâs bound to get on your hands. âWe have a corporate image, but if we walk around reeking of blood, what will happen to our stock price?â
ââ¦Wasnât this incident too big to save face?â
ââ¦Thatâs also true.â
To Lee Jae-hyung and Lee Jae-hee, the youngest brother was a bit affectionate.
âIs there any blood left to spill on that weak child?â
It was stupid and stupid, and now I know it was all an act, but I also know that it was honest to some extent. In a family that only saw each other as rivals ready to bite each other, he was the only child who celebrated his familyâs birthdays. I donât know where such a soft and weak child came from.
Lee Jae-hyung nodded as if he also agreed.
âAs soon as I became an adult, I took a paternity test for Lee Jae-heon.â
âMy motherâs expression at that time was spectacular. Ah, itâs funny even thinking about it now.â
âI thought it was definitely something I picked up from under a bridge, but how absurd is it when they say this is my real brother? âDidnât you?â
âHow can you be so suspicious when the faces of the Lee family are all there?â
âYou just need to fix the skin on your face.â
âAnyway, itâs weird.â
While chatting about trivial things, the two winked at the men who were waiting. Then, several men came forward and dragged a bright red piece of meat.
Jaehee Lee looked at that and narrowed her eyes.
âOh, I really enjoyed it.â
ââ¦.â
âDidnât you say that your breath is still there?â
ââ¦Uhâ¦â
When Jaehee Lee saw the doctor, the man with a pale face shook his head in shock. Lee Jae-hyung looked at my sister when she noticed that she had already died a long time ago.
ââ¦sorry.â
âYou said you forgave me, so why do you keep apologizing? âThen I guess Iâll have to clean it up first.â
âDo you have any thoughts?â
âWouldnât it be even weirder if you had no idea about the meat that was completely cold?â
âWell, thatâs true, butâ¦â
Lee Jae-hyung, who was embarrassed, gestured to the men.
âClean it up after yourself. Since Iâm from the industry, it wonât be revealed to the public even if I donât clean it up very cleanly. âIf thatâs the case, it would be okay if I asked for permission and threw it in the fish farm I used last time.â
âI will handle it that way.â
Jiik jikjiikâ¦.
A long dark red mark was left where the meat was dragged.
ââ¦Can I smoke one?â
âThatâs right, Director.â
âthank you.â
Cheeik.
Itâs been a while since I started a fire myself.
ââ¦Whoaâ¦.â
Smoke spread through the sky and into the night.
Itâs white.
ââ¦.â
The air is cold.
The scent of the sea is sticky and the lights of the port obscure both the stars and the moon. There were times when I felt dizzy when I thought that everything was hidden in such a bright place. Even though everything is familiar.
The air is like that. The air filled with cigarette smoke. Should it extend upward and sideways or downward?
ââ¦.â
âAre you happy?â
To those words,
âJaehyung.â
ââ¦.â
âAre you happy?â
Wow.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. ah? Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Oh right.
My ears hurt. Noisily crushing, breaking, coming together, tearing, making noise, coming together, making my head explode. My heart screamed as if it was going to burst, and the scream penetrated my brain, making me feel distant and thrilled. Thatâs right. Thatâs right. Thatâs right.
Smile and show your teeth.
ââ¦Itâs fun.â
The world where the smoke has disappeared is clear.
