Chapter 155

Chapter 155,

Gold 19, Survival of the Impoverished, was secretly ranking various and personal rankings, although of course it was never directly stated in it. ‘Sunfish’ was one of them.

Simply put, it refers to a character with a high probability of sudden death.

“This is Lee Jae-heon. “Please call me whatever you prefer.”

Jae-Heon Lee was trying to sit with a reasonable distance between him, but he furrowed his eyebrows when he saw student Da-Young Park looking at him intently. He felt that Munsan-gun, who was patting the child, was startled, but he did not bother to look in that direction.

It was easy to read the mind of the student holding his long, curly hair.

‘I guess it means don’t spread distance for no reason.’

That’s probably why he was talking like that while he was visiting Munsan-gun.

Blinking his eyes slowly, he thought that standing like this was also funny, so he took a seat across from Munsan-gun. From the looks of it, it seemed that Ha Seong-yoon was still passive and the main character was mentally unstable and would not be able to have a proper conversation with the survivors.

“I heard you’ve been through some rough times. “I was threatened by another survivor.”

“Ah...”

“There’s no need to tell me. “I just said this to tell you not to feel pressured.”

Of course, Lee Jae-heon was good at gently warming up foolish opponents and getting them on his side, but there was no way he didn’t know that the more he did this, the more the leader of this group would come to me. Maybe the protagonist or the doctor is also aiming for that and taking a step back.

Since he had no intention of becoming the head, he had no choice but to change the subject of the story.

“Have you spoken to our children in full?”

“...Chief, you really look like a gangster leader now...”

“Yeonseok is watching the fish being grilled. “Where are adults talking?”

“Who can be fooled by saying that now...”

“Huh.”

Lee Jae-heon was dumbfounded at the sight of Noh Yeon-seok intern making a fuss, but he decided to ignore the sight of him crumpling his big body and looking at a fish stuck in a bonfire. It was a bit fun to see a subject who was awkward in front of someone who was entrusted with a small task and did it well.

Lee Jae-heon turned his attention to Munsan-gun, who made a strange expression at the two’s comical conversation, and continued speaking.

“so?”

“...Well, I heard your name and what you did.”

Munsan-gun stroked the head of the sleeping child and cheered him up.

“I heard you go to Oseong? Except for Mr. Garam Yoon and Mr. Seongyoon Ha....”

“Actually, other than that, they are all worthless.”

“It can’t be. “They are working for the country’s largest conglomerate, both in name and reality, so wouldn’t they have such capabilities?”

“....”

“Thanks to you, I survived too.”

He shrugged his shoulders shallowly.

“Seeing them stick together even under these circumstances shows how much they respect each other. “I’m just thankful that they came to us just because they heard the child’s voice.”

“... Assistant Manager Jeong does have a good personality.”

At those words, Jeong In-ho, who had been quietly staring at the bonfire, raised his head and smiled slightly.

Munsan-gun’s expression became strange once again when he realized that it was an expression that had become a habit on his face, but he quickly averted his gaze and pretended not to notice it. It was clearly like they were wary of us.

‘Well, it’s worth it.’

Regardless of his original personality, if Jeong In-ho and Lee Jae-heon’s thoughts are correct, they would have seen Song In-myeong kill a person. Even if you don’t know the details, it was a difficult situation to lower your basic vigilance toward humans. One might think that Song In-myeong is the average survivor of the underworld.

Nevertheless, the reason they sat there talking so obediently was, of course, because there were benefits to be gained from this team, but it wasn’t necessarily because of that. Lee Jae-heon rolled his eyes conspicuously and looked at the boy in his arms so that Munsan-gun could check.

Now the name is clear: Choi Min-hong.

“It is fortunate that the child... was not seriously injured.”

Thanks to that little boy remembering Jaeheon Lee, things got easier.

‘I didn’t know you would remember me.’

At the time of the incident, Lee Jae-heon was holding Choi Min-hong from behind, and immediately afterward, the child’s vision would have been blocked as he was blindfolded and crying. Nevertheless, Choi Min-hong, who met Lee Jae-heon again, tilted his head, grabbed his hand, and was startled, recalling him.

Looking at it objectively, Lee Jae-heon, who was covered in blood and had a bad appearance, was something to be disliked, and because of that, Munsan-gun was wary of him at first, but in the end, there was nothing he could do as the youngest child welcomed him with a big smile. Regardless of the case, both Lee Jae-heon and Munsan-gun.

Kang Min-ah looked embarrassed at the sight of Noh Yeon-seok lowering his head in embarrassment.

“...Stop teasing Yeonseok, Manager....”

“What did I do?”

At those words, Kang Min-ah smiled sadly, and at the same time, intern Noh Yeon-seok’s shoulders shrank even more. I had no idea how ugly it was to see a big guy in his 40s shriveling up.

“It’s because you don’t have this much spirit.”

“...Not everything in the world can be solved with just courage....”

“Your problem has already been solved, man.”

On the other hand, she seems to be hesitant out of consideration for the other person, but based on what I’ve seen of Kang Min-ah’s personality so far, she wouldn’t have refused if she confessed. Although it is true that even though their ages are not that much different, Jaeheon Lee thought that Noh Yeon-seok’s hesitation may have played a role.

‘That guy is also the type that will go on a rampage if he gets permission.’

He was holding back because he thought Kang Min-ah would be a burden to him, but if they started dating officially, he would do his best to appeal to her. Honestly, I don’t know why I was thinking this, but I did it anyway.

Kang Min-ah smiled sadly again as Lee Jae-heon’s words made her even more glum, but suddenly he was able to detect a strange sense of discomfort in Kang Min-ah’s face.

“....”

“... Manager?”

“No, just.”

He asked, gently tilting his head to one side.

“Because you look tired.”

And we still don’t know why.

I also felt the need.

“....”

“...Then let’s eat first. Mr. Munsan, could you please wake him up?”

As he turned his gaze to Munsan-gun, the other person opened his eyes wide and blinked several times. He seemed to doubt whether what he was saying was true.

“...yes?”

“Even though the time is like this, I think I need to feed the child and put him to sleep. “I think you drank some water earlier, is that correct?”

“yes? Ah yes. Thanks to Yeonhee Kwon... thank you again.”

“It’s not the water I brought anyway. Anyway, your stomach must be pretty empty, but if you find it difficult to eat, I’ll give you some fruit. Actually, we don’t know if it’s a fruit or not, but it would be easier to eat on an empty stomach.”

“Uh...”

“The fish... you can catch it again if you throw the trap. Minhong or Munsan can eat whatever they feel comfortable with. Of course, either way, it would be better to finish digesting and then sleep.”

Lee Jae-heon, who blurted out the words, pierced him with his gaze once again.

“So, let’s wake the kid up first. “I have to ask you what you want to eat.”

“...Ah yes....”

I muttered like that and frowned at Lee Jae-heon, who was looking at him with a strange gaze. Before I knew it, Yoon Gar-ram, who had taken his eyes off the bonfire and was quietly watching the situation, smiled softly and opened his mouth.

A soft voice flowed under the pitch-black sky.

“Manager, you are very much like a father.”

“...Who is it? “You mean me?”

Lee Jae-heon frowned greatly at those words, but Yoon Gar-ram continued speaking with his signature elegant smile. A voice in a quiet tone resembling Ha Seong-yoon spread over the bonfire.

“That’s how I felt. “My father always treated me like that. He spoke bluntly and comforted me while feeding me.”

“....”

“That’s what I’ve always felt, but you’re being very kind by pretending it’s not true.”

“...Huh.”

Lee Jae-heon, who shed a sigh of regret, quickly burst into laughter and answered.

“That can’t be right.”

It was nonsense.
