Chapter 119

Episode 119

In response to Ha Seong-yoon’s question, Lee Jae-heon instinctively shook his head. Even though he felt a mild panic just like before, he could reflexively make calculations, so now he couldn’t act stupid just because he was tired.

So the information the doctor revealed was clear.

‘You can see something before regression.’

And

‘I don’t know if I remember that.’

What Ha Seong-yoon asked was clearly about Lee Jae-heon’s death before his return.

It was a clear question that could not be confusing, and he guessed that the one eye the doctor had received would be able to see something before it regressed. Seeing how he has become even worse since receiving the eye, it seems that his mental strength has been significantly reduced.

But he doesn’t know exactly what he is seeing. Considering that it depicts the scene where Lee Jae-heon died, it probably means that we know nothing about the post-war situation. If so, it also meant that we did not know whether this was a past death that should have occurred or a future death that would occur in the future.

“...is it a nightmare?”

Lee Jae-heon answered Ha Seong-yoon’s question in a tired voice.

“People in the world... don’t they usually call things like that nightmares?”

“Maybe so.”

As expected, there was no trace of suspicion towards him in that stretched voice.

So what Jaeheon Lee is curious about right now

is, ‘What is this guy’s purpose?’

He glanced sideways at Ha Seong-yoon, who was adjusting the bandage on his forearm. I could feel the bandage that had become loose from running around getting back into place and the appropriate amount of pressure was felt.

“Does it hurt?”

“Not really.”

“I want to hear the teacher say it hurts at least once.”

“You’ll hear it soon. It’s harsh.”

“I guess that’s true.”

“It’s true...”

Just as Ha Seong-yoon was trying to judge Lee Jae-heon based on his own experiences, Lee Jae-heon was also able to judge Dr. Ha Seong-yoon based on his memories of his past life.

This person is well-trained in unexpected situations.

Jaeheon Lee knew these doctors. However, since this is not the world of my previous life, I guess I may have done medical volunteer work in a conflict zone. Although we have to achieve the best results with medicines that are lacking, blood flows carelessly in most places where agility is needed.

However, even with that, there were some strange things.

“I heard last time that you stayed alone to deal with the monster. It was the dog-like monster I saw back then, right? “It would have been better if we ran away together.”

“Wouldn’t anyone need someone to take their time?”

“It doesn’t have to be a teacher.”

“....”

I’m not denying it.

‘For a doctor with a professional spirit, it’s still disgusting.’

A strange side was often seen. Although he clearly pours all the passion he can into curing and saving patients, it seems as if he can throw away people’s lives at any time. Although it was not as extreme as Lee Jae-heon, who could kill the person he saved at any time, it seemed like the person he saved could also die at any time.

He didn’t think he would be too surprised if the patient he had just saved was found stabbed to death the next day. Even in the middle of an angled building rather than a battlefield.

However, Ha Seong-yoon was a doctor, not a soldier.

“I hope there will never be a situation where the group is scattered again. “I don’t have any talent for that, so it’s exhausting to find and follow the traces of someone who has disappeared somewhere.”

“okay.”

Still, he seemed adept at this situation.

‘In things like the other side of the world.’

So what happened? Ha Seong-yoon rarely told Lee Jae-heon anything about himself, so he could only guess about this man’s past.

Perhaps Ha Seong-yoon intentionally wanted to come to the underworld. Looking at the bandages he had in the first place, he didn’t look like someone who didn’t know he would be here. Also, there must have been a medium that dragged him into the other world.

‘friend.’

That friend I said I went to see on the 1st of every month.

‘He does appear briefly later.’

Unlike Ha Seong-yoon, who appeared as a piece of meat from the beginning, his friend appears alive only once. There was an episode where the protagonist found traces of Ha Seong-yoon’s body and went to look for her.

Perhaps the ‘friend’ played the role of a medium and Ha Seong-yoon tried to understand the world behind her. Moreover, since the underworld usually attracts crazy people, it could not be a coincidence that Ha Seong-yoon was eaten by this world.

‘To understand the world behind the scenes... means to have lived with that world.’

In that case, it was understandable that Ha Seong-yoon showed talents other than those of a doctor. Maybe it’s because no one tried it, but probably anyone who ‘understood’ the hidden world would have done so.

Then why?

“Is there anything else that makes you uncomfortable?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“I hope that’s true.”

Ha Seong-yoon gently rolled his eyes as he looked at Lee Jae-heon, who was leaning against the wall.

“...hey hey.”

“...What is that?”

“I know yeah.”

They were quite observant.

To survive and to be protected. I knew how to pay attention to survive. To a strange degree, I had the ability to distinguish between dangerous and non-dangerous things...

“That bastard said that was strange?”

The corner of her eye caught a man talking to Lee Jae-heon.

He had quite long hair, but it was curly and tied in a ponytail. Looking at the rounded hair and the apron covered in paint, anyone could see that he looked like an artist.

However, such appearances were not that important to the siblings.

“You keep hovering around the police officer and the uncle.”

“It’s a bit uncomfortable...”

Park Da-hoon muttered like that and scratched the back of his neck as if he was in pain.

At a force so strong that it felt obsessive, Park Da-young reflexively grabbed it and stopped it, and Park Da-hoon, whose back was wide open, lowered his hand as if nothing had happened. Park Da-young also pretended not to notice and withdrew her hand.

“Even if it’s the case with the police officer’s older sister, shouldn’t we assume that he really has something going on?”

I automatically nodded at his words.

Actually, police officer Kim Yeon-woo was really pretty. Her straight hair was cut in a neat bob, and it was shiny and black, and although she didn’t look like she was taking any special care of it, her skin was also good. Although his sharp eyes can sometimes be intimidating, he is basically a simple and kind person, so you automatically like him.

So, when I first hung around the police officer, I thought, ‘Oh, he seems to like me.’ Even though it feels a little strange, you say you’re going to express your feelings to the person you like anyway, so what can you do?

However, when that person, Song In-myeong, approached Lee Jae-heon, the siblings felt a sense of discomfort.

“I’m saying you’re not approaching me because you like that?”

“Anyone can see that it’s a bit...”

At least it wasn’t the way he looked at humans.

“....”

“....”

But that didn’t mean that the siblings could do something amazing.

In any case, their opinions were all based on intuition and there was no plausible evidence. The detective who introduced himself as Hong Gyeong-jun often looks at Song In-myeong, so he must have felt something, but the reason why he doesn’t move may have been in the same context as the siblings.

But that didn’t mean I couldn’t do nothing.

“...What should I do if my uncle dies like that?”

There is no one who wants to protect us other than that person.

The same goes for Jeong In-ho, who looked at them with harsh eyes from the beginning, as well as everyone else. Aren’t these people who ran away without looking back because Lee Jae-heon, who wasn’t that scary, made the atmosphere a little strange? I couldn’t imagine that I would be able to protect them when a monster really came out.

But they were anxious. Now that a proper adult, not me, was protecting my younger brother, he hugged us for no reason. The expectations I had built up so far were too high to ignore it just because it might turn into a monster.

It would be better if you were our parents. Then we would have just lived our lives as normal without paying attention to others.

“....”

“...Let’s talk.”

There was no way I could turn away now.

“To whom?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“...You’re scared of him.”

“I just don’t like it.”

“You’re talking bullshit again...”

Park Da-young, who was pulling her hair that had been made wavy by paying a lot of money at the beauty salon, immediately put her hands together and looked to one side. Park Da-hoon also turns his head.

Where their eyes landed was Jeong In-ho.

“....”

For some reason, he is someone who really hates them.

That was a pretty fatal story for siblings Park Da-young and Park Da-hoon.

The siblings didn’t know why their parents hated Park Da-hoon, and they also didn’t know why Jeong In-ho hated them. Although they looked completely different and I had only recently seen them, I couldn’t help but think of them as their parents.

“But... hasn’t it gotten a little harmful these days?”

“Is that Yoo Hae-jin? Just be patient. “He’s putting up with it because he has no justification.”

“Ah, so what are we going to do?”

Hearing Park Da-hoon’s words, Park Da-young glanced at a corner of the pavilion that was hard to see. To be precise, it is the gaze that Song In-myeong looks at towards Lee Jae-heon.

They knew what eyes like that were.

“...Let’s talk about it.”

“okay.”

Those are not eyes that see humans.

It’s an eye for materials.
