Chapter 113

Episode 113

If there is one thing that the timid Kang Min-ah is proud of, it is her ability to perceive the mood of others very well. As soon as Kang Min-ah came to this world, she realized that her surroundings were truly strange.

For some reason, the co-worker I used to eat with seemed to have lost her temper for a while, the owner of the flower shop, who I thought was sane, started to exude a strong sense of discomfort, and Kwon Yeon-hee, who was always bright, gradually became stiff. Why is one of the team members, a doctor, only smiling from afar?

The most powerful among them was none other than Manager Lee Jae-heon.

“I’ve been to this world a few times.”

He said he had something to say, so he called everyone over and said it all out loud.

“If I remember correctly, about five times. “I must have stopped by when I was at least 11 years old.”

“...yes?”

“To be honest, I don’t remember it in detail.”

He threw the bomb at them with such a calm expression.

Um no I don’t know. Actually, to be honest, I thought something was strange. At least the old manager that Kang Min and others remember was made up. Kang Min-ah wasn’t that stupid because she still didn’t know, and Lee Jae-heon’s sense of discomfort was too strong.

So, I was curious. Why is that person so calm? How can you be so calm? I wonder why the previous appearance was made up.

But you’ve already been here?

“....”

“...I know what I’m saying now is absurd and ridiculous, but... I thought I should let you know. “Some people already knew.”

“Uh...”

That’s 5 times? At least 11 years old?

From then on, we talked about rules and regulations and all that, but in reality, everything was ignored after that. It was rather absurd that all of that information was obtained by Lee Jae-heon, shedding blood and breaking bones. Kang Min-ah’s mind was so complicated that she couldn’t accept them all at once.

So, so far, Lee Jae-heon has been a great adult to Kang Min-ah. Actually, it’s not that great, but it still allows you to take responsibility for others other than yourself.

That’s why I had a question.

‘...Then who protected that person?’

It was a scream that resembled a question.

Director Lee Jae-heon also had a childhood. At a time when I was much smaller and weaker than the two students who stayed up all night with me. Who on earth could he receive protection from? Who on earth was by his side that made him so broken?

Who ruined him?

“And what else... Ah, to the green algae monster. When I was chased by the green monster, I barely managed to meet a police officer. “My name is Kim Yeon-woo, and I’m one of the survivor teams over there.”

“Did he also provide the first aid you received at that time?”

“No, as expected, an old lady on the team over there did it.”

“Aha....”

“Thank goodness I didn’t die.”

His face as he spoke of death remained as calm as before.

“....”

Shouldn’t we grow into adults like this?

Although it may not be healthy, it was good. Even though the process wasn’t good, the result wasn’t bad. But if all of that is eating away at Lee Jae-heon, shouldn’t it stop?

I suddenly thought so, but that didn’t mean Kang Min-ah could express her frustrating feelings.

Because Lee Jae-heon is already an adult, he is responsible for so many things, and he has already firmly established his beliefs. Only Kang Min-ah, a subordinate, could not say that.

“Are you and me the same?”

“...What do you mean?”

“Even if I die...”

Even if I heard such disgusting words.

“....”

“...Ah....”

Kang Min-ah felt like crying a little.

That person wasn’t disgusting. It’s just that Kang Min-ah was disgusted and disgusted by the entire environment that instilled such a way of thinking in such a good and good person.

After enduring so much patience, when Lee Jae-heon handed them the last piece of information. When I heard that people outside the world were doing well without even knowing about our vacancy.

“Then...”

Kang Min-ah couldn’t hold back any longer.

“What about the manager?”

“...me?”

“I guess the manager has always been like that.”

At those words, Lee Jae-heon made an expression that he didn’t really understand what she was saying.

It was truly miserable. In the end, no one knew that that person had disappeared, and this had happened several times, and Jaeheon Lee had even gotten used to that fact. He felt that all these unreasonable circumstances given to him were very natural.

That was so funny.

“I guess no one knew the manager was gone.”

“....”

It was a terrible thing.

Unlike Kang Min-ah, Lee Jae-heon was a person who was ready to die.

It seemed like the whole world wanted him dead. In reality, there were many people who wanted Director Lee Jae-heon to disappear, and in the other world, Lee Jae-heon wanted the world and himself to die. He was a person who would gladly do so if Kang Min-ah pointed a finger at him and told him to die immediately.

‘...Do you think we will turn a blind eye after telling you this?’

There’s no way that could be possible.

In the end, I was a shameless idiot who couldn’t do anything.

We need you after all. He depended on him for a lot of things, both materially and mentally, and Lee Jae-heon only recognized the former. It seemed as if he thought everyone in the world should hate him.

There was a time when that was true. There were days when we hated you so much.

“...Can’t I meet those people first? “The police officers who met with the chief.”

“....”

“I want to at least say hello.”

All I had to do was hang on like this.

In the end, I am a person who cannot take responsibility for anything.

* * *

Seeing Lee Jae-heon frowning as if he sensed something strange about Kang Min-ah’s reaction, Ha Seong-yoon raised one hand and touched his earlobe. A smile was still drawn on his lips.

However, the gaze

was on Lee Jae-heon’s neck

“....”

A tattered neck as if it had been chewed and swallowed by a monster, an eyeball missing for no reason, and a leg that was deformed and bent. A strange corpse whose entire body seemed almost soaked in blood.

Ha Seong-yoon saw Lee Jae-heon’s form for the first time in his life and felt a familiarity that he did not even know the origin of. Even when I visited the battlefield as part of my volunteer work, I have never seen a corpse in that kind of condition. Wouldn’t it be completely absurd to see something like this while looking at Lee Jae-heon, who is still alive?

Ha Seong-yoon blinked quickly a couple of times due to the difference in visual information transmitted from both eyes.

‘...but I see it.’

To be exact, it was closer to being seen.

Ha Seong-yoon knew very well what he wanted. There was a reason why I had to immerse my whole body in this world. What the small lake’s mirror or glass-like eyes showed was none other than a corpse that appeared to have just died.

‘Why did I have to see this...’

But it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“me too.”

“....”

“...I agree.”

Ha Seong-yoon just laughed.

“Let’s go see them.”

It was definitely what he could do best.
