Chapter 146 < Vicious Murder (4) >

Grandpa.

Hmm?

This

Hwang Min-jae, who was getting ready for school, handed a box to his grandfather. Hwang Dae-sik was confused, but he opened the box reluctantly, seeing the hopeful look on his grandsons face.

Try them on.

Hwang Min-jae had been bothered by the worn-out shoes that were falling apart. He felt guilty for seeing his grandfather picking up trash without complaining, even though he had suddenly joined the family. So he had bought him a pair of sneakers with the money he earned from his part-time job.

He should have bought something for himself

He hadnt received such a gift in a long time. Hwang Dae-sik fiddled with the tip of the shoe slowly and grumbled. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Why did you buy this for me? You should have bought something for yourself.

I just felt bad for you. Ill be going now.

Hwang Dae-sik grabbed his grandson.

Wait, wear this too.

Why did you buy this for me?

What came out of the paper bag he handed him was a long padded coat. Hwang Min-jae tried to suppress the smile that was rising on his lips. His mouth twitched involuntarily. The grandson who was hiding his feelings while being happy looked very much like him.

Winter is over.

You can wear it next winter and the year after that. If you dont need it, just throw it away

No, thank you.

Hwang Min-jae quickly dodged Hwang Dae-siks hand that tried to take it back and ran away wearing the out-of-season coat. He ran quite fast, but his mouth was filled with more laughter. It was the first time his grandfather had talked about the future.

Why are you wearing that in this heat

Hwang Dae-sik chuckled.

As they grew closer, Hwang Dae-sik collapsed on the street from an unknown pain.

And with the help of the nearby pedestrians, he went to the hospital and got tested. When he went to hear the results, he received unexpected news.

Cancer you say?

Yes, you need to be hospitalized right away.

Ignoring the doctors advice to get treatment, Hwang Dae-sik left the hospital. He had no money anyway, even if he was hospitalized. He was too busy making ends meet to have any insurance, and the states support was limited.

He walked aimlessly on the street and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Death, it was something he had wished for just a few months ago. But when it came, he felt uneasy.

Did I start to value my life now

Why did it change now? Because of his grandson who had lived with him for only a few months?

Then wouldnt it seem like he had abandoned his son who was not normal? He felt a surge of self-loathing as he remembered his sons last voice.

(Cough Ah, father)

Old people should die.

He was tired of thinking. He thought it would be a good choice to disappear like this, for his dead child and his grandson.

Why did I buy this

He realized that his thinking was wrong when he got home with it and buried it deep in the house.

But that situation didnt last long. He found it while looking for his ID card to register his grandson.

We dont need this in our house

It was a shabby neighborhood, but they had everything they needed. They already had a boiler, and why did he buy a dynamite in the summer. There was no coal either He remembered what his friend Park Ji-woo had said, as if it was a flashback.

(Hey, it wasnt a suicide pact, you idiot.)

(What?)

(He tried to kill and then commit suicide.)

(No, it wasnt He seemed to regret it a lot)

He remembered what happened when he first saw his grandfather. He had shrugged it off, happy to see his grandfather for the first time in his life. But the rope hanging from the ceiling was not for fixing the light or anything.

(If your grandfather misses your dad like you said)

(Then wouldnt he try to do what he couldnt do back then?)

He had argued against it, but when he saw the hidden dynamite, his doubts that had built up collapsed.

Are you here? Sit down. Ill make you some food.

What is this?

Hwang Daesik froze when he saw the object in his grandsons hand. He knew he had bought the wrong thing, but he had put off returning it until tonight. He had always thought he would do it tomorrowLaaTest novels on (n)ovelbi/n(.)com

What do we do?

Where is Yeon Seos manager?

Excuse me.

Taegyeom Lee and Seunghyun Lim pushed them aside and entered the camera. Following Kim Jaehos direction, the camera director quickly turned the camera away.

[If I feel something weird while acting, wake me up.]

[How?]

[Just do it, well. You too, Mr. Im.]

Taegyeom and Seunghyun sat down on the floor and gently shook him. They seemed to know why he said that.

Hey, Yeon Seo.

Sir.

Seunghyun slapped Yeon Seos cheek lightly, not to hurt him. But he still kept calling for his mom and telling her not to go.

What do I do?

Even the reliable Seunghyun couldnt do much. Taegyeom bit his nails nervously and thought for a moment.

Come to think of it There was an incident where he got a taste of Yeon Seos wrath. It was the first time he saw him act so stubborn and angry.

Taegyeom whispered in Yeon Seos ear.

Yeon Seo, you suck. You lost to your manager in a game, right?

Taegyeom, what kind of thing to say in this situation

Wait and see, hyung. Lets go for a revenge match. Even though youll lose to me again.

Seunghyun looked at Taegyeom incredulously, who was making nonsense. But it worked. Yeon Seos eyes focused and he glared at Taegyeom.

You bastard

Did you snap out of it?

He did snap out of it. But he felt dirty. He didnt know if it was because of his past memory or Taegyeoms annoying words. Something hot dripped from his nose.

Im screwed.

He couldnt faint here.

Huh? Wha-what?!

Sir!

Yeon Seo!

***

Was I this weak?

That was the first thought of Yeon Seo when he woke up. As he blinked and looked at the ceiling, the noise around him grew louder.

How long has it been?

Five hours.

Thats pretty fast, I thought it would take days.

Hey, is that something to say?

Oh, it was the accommodation near the filming site. Luckily, they didnt take him to the hospital. Seunghyun must have handled it well. Yeon Seo groaned and got up. His pain was mental, but he didnt know why he had muscle aches.

Yeon Seo.

Oh, youre here?

He scratched his cheek and looked at Seunghwan Park and Kim Jaeho, who were approaching him.

I think I was wrong.

About what?

I shouldnt have said that to you

Seunghwans expression was not good. Yeon Seo smiled bitterly. It was just his chronic problem.

Its not your fault, hyung.

What do you mean its not?

Hows the filming going?

Kim Jaeho smiled as if to reassure him.

We stopped for now.

Im sorry for causing trouble Lets start again tomorrow.

Its okay, we have a lot of budget.

And that money came from Yeon Seos wallet. But that didnt mean everything. Because of the sudden change in schedule, the actors agency managers were busy adjusting their plans behind the scenes.

Its going to be trouble if this keeps happening

Yeon Seo sighed softly.
