Episode 594
âMr. Kijeong?â
ââ¦.â
âMr. Kim Ki-jeong~?â
ââ¦.â
âConductor Kim Ki-jeong.â
Han Do-yoon, sitting in the passenger seat, said with an awkward expression.
âPlease calm down.â
Both finished their schedules at 7:29 PM.
They were heading to Jaeheon Leeâs house.
âI calmed down.â
âIf you keep doing this, youâll get a ticket.â
âMy wallet is strong.â
âItâs not about money⦠no, no, this is a license suspension. âIt doesnât end with a fine.â
âItâs really scary.â
âAnyway, just calm down.â
ââ¦.â
âoh.â
The speed of Kim Ki-jeongâs car, which was racing through the tight traffic, gradually decreased. Han Do-yoon took a deep breath of relief. I was scared that I would get a ticket, my license would be suspended, and that I would die in the real world, which was not just a secret world.
Kim Ki-jeong has been out of his mind recently.
âAre you awake?â
âyes.â
âI donât think so yet.â
ââ¦.â
Kim Ki-jeong, who was holding the steering wheel until it broke, pursed his lips.
âIs Jaeheon Lee going to be okay?â
ââ¦Itâll be okay. âThe chat went well and we even talked on the phone that day.â
âI donât think itâll be okay.â
âYour voice is fine. âYouâre so worried, Mr. Ki-jeong.â
âHow can that be okay?â
âMr. Kijeong.â
âThatâs how people areâ¦â
ââ¦â
ââ¦Iâve never heard anything like thatâ¦â
Although his eyesight was average, Kim Ki-jeong was very confident in his hearing. I was proud that my ears were of great help at this aquarium.
However, those feelings disappeared as if they were washed away after seeing Lee Jae-heon being tortured.
âThat sound was real.â
It was so scary that I could hear it even though I closed my eyes and covered my ears.
The crackling sound of muscles being torn raw. The sound of the skin being torn apart. The sound of the intestines being stretched and pulled out.
âReallyâ¦â
The sound of thick bones breaking. Rather, it is the sound of thin bones breaking into pieces. The sound of the blood contained inside bursting outward. The sound of the lungs being pierced and air rushing out. The sound of crunching and reflexive struggling.
Then it soon quiets down, and even the slight heaving of the shoulders disappears, leaving only the sound of soft tissue being crushed or the sound of something coming out of nowhere and being chewed in the mermaidâs mouthâ¦
That noise.
ââ¦.â
âMr. Ki-jeong, stop.â
ââ¦.â
âIâll drive.â
In the end, Kim Ki-jeong and Do-yoon Han switched places.
The two got out of the car parked on the shoulder and switched places. Han Do-yoon said slyly while holding the steering wheel.
âI knew it would be like this. âYou said I drive. Anyway, Iâm stubborn.â
ââ¦Iknow, right.â
âIs it very difficult?â
âJustâ¦â
âAre you having a hard time because I keep thinking about it?â
âWhy are you asking if you know?â
After escaping from the secret world and returning to reality, every time Kim Ki-jeong fell asleep or bruised, he seemed to hear the sound of Lee Jae-heon being crushed and torn in his ears.
âIâm guilty of being too proud.â
âAre you guilty of having great ears?â
âI told you not to ask questions even if you know?â
âWhy are you so angry at Do-yoon after all the acting youâve done?â
âIâm so sick of you every time you do thisâ¦â
Han Do-yoon kept playing pranks to lighten my mood, which was really bothersome and annoying, but it still helped to some extent. While he was going crazy, the sound of Lee Jae-heon dying did not come to mind.
But I was still anxious. It continued like that.
âHaaâ¦.â
Yes, actually.
It was no big deal.
âItâs the same as when I watched an impressive horror movie.â
Kim Ki-jeong was not a person with a weak heart who would give up on horror movies, but every now and then a horror movie would appear that would startle even him. My heart is pounding right now in the same way it was when I watched that movie.
ââ¦.â
I just⦠had to think like that.
ââ¦Are you okay, Han Do-yoon?â
âEh? Me?â
âDonât use a tone that makes people angry, but speak in an adult manner.â
âGwaine is okay.â
ââ¦.â
âouch.â
Han Do-yoon only gave a proper answer after being slapped on the shoulder.
âIâm really fine. Lee Jae-heon, itâs not like itâs been a day or two since you became a slutâ¦â
âIt was a different level from that. this time.â
ââ¦To tell you the truth, I feel a little sick too.â
ââ¦.â
âJae-heon Lee feels a bit scaryâ¦â
Kim Ki-jeongâs body trembled.
Han Do-yoon continued speaking.
âKim Ki-jeong, thatâs not strange.â
ââ¦What.â
âJaeheon Lee did all the painful and difficult work, so why am I afraid of him? Iâm just thinking this. âRight?â
ââ¦.â
âJaeheon Lee was originally a bit afraid of people.â
Han Do-yoon smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
âItâs just that we got used to it and didnât seem scared for a while.â
ââ¦Butâ¦â
âOf course, if you let Jaeheon Lee know that weâre scared, youâd be a real asshole.â
âWho do you think is doing this because they donât know that??â
âThatâs right.â
His unique light and sly voice continued.
âBeing afraid of Lee Jae-heon is something you canât control, so rather than blaming yourself for it, you should try your best. Iâm not worrying about why Iâm so bad, but if I act like this, that person will be hurt, so I should try to be betterâ¦.â â
â¦.â
âLike this.â
Han Do-yoon laughed slightly.
âThatâs what I meant when I said âitâs okay.ââ
Soon a faint sigh came out.
âIâm scared too, actually.â
ââ¦is it so?â
âJaeheon Leeâs reaction wasnât normal, right?â
When youâre in pain, you have to scream in pain to be human. If youâre sad, you should cry because youâre sad, thatâs how human beings are. To be a normal person, you have to smile with your teeth wide open when you are happy and say that you are having a hard time when you are having a hard time.
And Lee Jae-heon was no ordinary person.
âEven though he was being torn apart in various places and dying, Jaeheon Lee didnât even scream. Of course, we may not have heard it because it was underwater, but I donât know. He seemed very calm and composed. Although he was originally a person with a strong tendency to do that, this time he reallyâ¦.â â
â¦.â
âIt didnât seem like he was human.â
In the disgusting sound of a living personâs flesh being torn apart, Lee Jae-heon was just calculating.
What should I do to get better results? How much longer should I endure? A human being who deserved to die but kept falling into pieces instead of dyingâ¦
didnât look like a human being at all.
âNo matter how unrealistic the world is,â¦â
Lee Jae-heon was a bit harsh.
ââ¦.â
ââ¦But thatâs not because Lee Jae-heon is bad. âRight?â
ââ¦Yes.â
âSo, we are the ones who have to overcome.â
Han Do-yoon drove the car with a relaxed expression.
âJaeheon Lee, he gets hurt surprisingly easily.â
ââ¦.â
âA player is the one who comes to his own conclusion.â
At least we shouldnât have to do something like that.
It was true that Jaeheon Lee was scary.
It was a worthy situation. While he fell into a strange world full of monsters and was under mental pressure, his trusted companion did not die even though he was torn into 50,000 pieces and turned into pieces of meat.
That was definitely scary. Thatâs true, but Jaeheon Lee wasnât a bad person.
âJaeheon Lee will be fine.â
It was a calm voice, but in fact, Han Do-yoon was also comforting himself like that.
Because I want to get better.
ââ¦Actually, Jaeheon Leeâs mental state is always questionable, but wouldnât he have come back to his senses? âIt was like that the last time we spoke on the phone.â
ââ¦I guess so.â
âRight?â
Squeak.
Han Do-yoon parked his car in the parking lot.
âThen letâs go and check it out.â
ââ¦I was going to get off anyway.â
Kim Ki-jeong went up to the lobby with Do-yoon Han, took the elevator, walked down the hallway, and arrived in front of Jae-heon Leeâs house. It was a clean and luxurious officetel that made you feel like you were from a well-established family.
And letâs ring the doorbell.
Jump up!!
ââMr. Kijeong!â
Kwon Yeon-hee came out with a crazy look on her face as she was so happy to see her.
âWow, itâs been such a long timeâ¦! Is everyone okay? Arenât you dead? Are you breathing? Do you eat well? âI spent my time away from you all, whimpering, buying a hammer from a convenience store, picking up a doctor from a flower garden, cooking and eating dried fish, and making 15 nestsâ¦!â
ââ¦There are a lot of things I want to ask and a lot of things I want to say, but please calm down first.â
Convenience store hammer? A doctor in the flower garden? Fifteen nests in dried fish�
Han Do-yoon asked instead of Kim Ki-jeong.
âDried fish?â
âAh⦠Thatâs what I was most curious about right nowâ¦? âWouldnât it be common sense to first ask the man who was the flower garden doctor?â
âMore than that, arenât you really curious about how dried fish is made in the other world?? âI donât even know what dried fish is in the first place??â
âNo, no⦠why is Kwon Yeon-hee making such a proud expression?â¦â
Kwon Yeon-hee said with a lot of energy.
âIâll tell you if you buy a box of snacks from the convenience store in the lobby.â
âyes? Snacks, a housewarming giftâ¦.â
âThey come in without saying âgu.â âWe made kimbap.â
â? âKimbab?â
Kwon Yeon-hee leads the embarrassed Kim Ki-jeong into the house and voila! He pointed to a lump.
âHello, this is Lee Jae-heon Kimbap!â
âManager Lee Jae-heonâs kimbap.â
ââ¦Director Jaeheon Leeâs kimbap!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Han Do-yoon and Kim Ki-jeong looked at Lee Jae-heon, sweating coldly as he corrected Kwon Yeon-heeâs unflattering title with a haggard face.
ââ¦.â
âwhat.â
ââ¦.â
âWhat are you going to do?â
âNo, just.â
Han Do-yoon nodded at the image of Lee Jae-heon rolled up in a thick blanket.
âI feel like I lost money by worrying.â
âYou speak very poorlyâ¦? So you werenât worried about me? âEven though people are so divided?â
âOf course I was worried.â
âThen what kind of nonsense did you just say?â
âI guess I should say it was a fleeting moment of self-reflection.â
ââ¦What the fuckâ¦â
Lee Jae-heon, leaning on the sofa with only his face out, frowned.
âSpeak clearly, firefighter Han Do-yoon.â
âAh.â
âDonât do that either. âI mean, pay a bit for the night.â
Kim Ki-jeong intervened without even realizing it.
âWhy are you so angry when your child is acting like a child?â
âHuhâ¦? Does that look like a child right now, Conductor Kim Ki-jeong?â
âIf itâs that big, itâs still a little bigger, but as soon as it comes, you hit it and do that.â
âShouldnât Firefighter Han Do-yoon also gradually gain self-awareness as an adult?â
âIâm not saying itâs wrong, but you could have said it better.â
Han Do-yoon looked at the two with excitement, and Noh Yeon-seok also watched, chewing potato chips as if he was interested.
And Yeonhee Kwon said:
âMom and dad fighting over their sonâs educationâ¦.â
âWow.â
In response to Noh Yeon-seokâs pure admiration, Do-yoon Han shouted as if he could no longer bear it.
âI like you both, so donât fight because of meâ¦!â
âWhat kind of nonsense is that?â
âFirefighter Han Do-yoon, please understand the atmosphere.â
âIt was something I came up with after understanding it!â
âHow can people be so immature?â
Seeing Kim Ki-jeong and Do-yoon Han like that, Lee Jae-heon, who had been wrapped tightly in a blanket, sighed and got out. Kwon Yeon-hee, an authority on blanket kimbap, looked very disappointed, but Lee Jae-heon didnât care and just ate the kimbap.
âI accept this because itâs me. Donât go to another manager and do this. uh? Because I am an open and open person, I accept it with an open heart. Do you understand, you idiots?â
Jeong In-ho nodded.
âYou were opened and pierced in many ways.â
âWhat dude?â
âIn the aquarium tank⦠physicallyâ¦â
âDonât you know how unattractive men with long rear ends are?â
Noh Yeon-seok intervened.
âInho hyung has charm. Yesterday, I got my number from a member of the human resources department.â
âOh myâ¦?â
Lee Jae-heon looked at Jeong In-ho gently.
âI guess I have to tell Eunwoo Jeong this very, very happy news?â
âNo, you crazyâ¦.â
âCrazy? Is the manager crazy? Wow, thatâs a big deal. âThere are a lot of stories about this happening to my uncle.â
âPlease⦠thatâs the main policy.â
âItâs the main book and the nabal, and I clearly remember the noblemanâs number.â
Kim Ki-jeong muttered at that sight.
âI think there was someone else who would pay for the night.â
anyway.
ââ¦Whewâ¦.â
Now my heart has calmed down a bit.
ââ¦I think itâs really okay.â
Itâs not Jaeheon Lee, but Kijeong Kim himself who sees him like that.
Fortunately, I wasnât scared of Lee Jae-heon. Fortunately, reallyâ¦
ââ¦.â
â¦I guess so?
