Chapter 257

Episode 257

No matter how hard they tried to appear like ordinary bickering siblings, given Park Da-young and Park Da-hoon’s family history, their affection was incomparable to that of ordinary siblings. The Park siblings were willing to share even secrets they could never share with others if it was helpful to them.

I thought so, but...

“Mr. Park Da-hoon is a returnee. Do you know regression?”

“...Uh oh....”

“And they said he died before he could return.”

“Yes...”

“They said he died instead of Park Da-hoon.”

I certainly did not expect that this kind of structure would unfold.

“Are you listening, uncle? mister.”

“I am listening. Da-hoon was a little off...”

“Why did you do that? yes? Why did you die instead of Park Da-hoon?”

“Please.”

There is one cocky chick in front who talks back. There is a chick in the back who is restraining herself by wrapping everything from her arms to her waist. Lee Jae-heon was trapped between Park Da-young and Park Da-hoon, who were advancing without the slightest hesitation, and was feeling anxious.

“Dayoung... you really believe what your brother says. “If my brother had said something like that, I would have said he was crazy.”

“Park Da-hoon is an old man and doesn’t lie like that.”

“Because the target is me, I don’t associate it with death, even as a joke. It’s getting more and more burdensome. “Can’t we just let this go and talk about it?”

“If I didn’t want to be caught like this, I shouldn’t have died instead of Park Da-hoon. “Dahun said he would stay with us for a while because he is scared, but you can’t even do that?”

“You really have a knack for turning me into an asshole.”

It seems like he’s doing this because he doesn’t like being around me.

‘It’s because I think this chick, Park Da-hoon, will break my bones.’

Lee Jae-heon let out a sigh that he couldn’t swallow and relaxed the hand that was pulling Park Da-hoon away. But what can you do? ‘Lee Jae-heon’ is not a regressor. It meant that even if the Park siblings stuck to each other and asked questions, there wasn’t much they could answer.

“I did everything wrong. As you know, I think I have made a big mistake due to my bad personality. I will reflect and apologize as much as I can, so please feel better. “Wrinkles form.”

“...eww.”

“What is it, I just apologized and then you made that kind of face?”

“Ugh.”

Park Da-young’s cute and white face, as she lowered her head, was distorted. I pushed on out of frustration, but I guess I didn’t intend to hear such a proper apology from ‘Lee Jae-heon’. A feeling of guilt, confusion, and nervousness so weak that it was difficult to define floated across Dayoung Park’s face.

In the meantime, I was amazed at Park Da-hoon, who was hugging Lee Jae-heon without a single trace of disruption. To put it nicely, it was a hug, no different from being tied up.

“Dahun.”

“Don’t call me.”

“...What on earth are you asking me to do?...”

“Don’t do anything.”

The voice mumbling like that was small but clear. I wondered if he was crying because he was burying his head in Lee Jae-heon’s back, but it seems he wasn’t. However, because of that, I was able to better understand the strange emotions that Da-hoon Park had. Because Park Da-hoon’s hands that hugged me were shaking slightly.

“Don’t abandon us.”

“...I won’t throw it away. “What are you talking about?”

“You promised.”

“So, even if you don’t throw it away...”

“I promised, but I promised...”

“Dahun.”

“Don’t call me.”

“....”

What are you really preventing me from saying?

‘It’s hard to make a living.’

It seemed like the fear Da-hoon Park felt from his memories before returning was greater than Jae-heon Lee expected.

Can I say this is horror? Rather, the expression despair was much more plausible. Park Da-hoon was confused, but did not try to run away. Lee Jae-heon realized that Park Da-hoon, who was hugging him as if he would break him, was more broken than he thought. It was his mistake.

‘I thought she was just the Kang Min-ah of the past....’

Rather, she feels closer to Jung In-ho.

“Uncle, we won’t abandon you.”

“...Why are you doing this too? Really. “I told you several times that I wouldn’t throw it away.”

“Don’t we know your personality? Even if you don’t abandon it, you will leave on your own. “Then it’s no different from being abandoned.”

“That’s not it...”

“You don’t know how important he is to us.”

Park Da-young approached while muttering that and grabbed Lee Jae-heon’s hands, who were holding Park Da-hoon’s arms. Lee Jae-heon, whose hands and arms were suddenly restrained, felt nauseous for a moment, but was able to calm himself down with the shaking hands of the student. Because my condition wasn’t bad enough to reveal my true feelings in front of these chicks.

Park Da-young, who did not notice Lee Jae-heon, rubbed her face in his hand.

“Do you like us?”

“...just so-so....”

“But it’s still good. “I know you lie all the time.”

“If you’re going to decide the answer, don’t ask.”

“Why do you keep lying? It’s upsetting....”

Park Da-young took her face away from her hands and took off Lee Jae-heon’s gloves. Lee Jae-heon’s hand, caught by the sudden action, trembled, but Park Da-young’s expression did not change at all.

‘...? Even if I think about it again, I didn’t do anything wrong.’

Of course, the reason why the Park siblings are angry now is not because Jaeheon Lee died last time, but honestly, he couldn’t help but feel unfair. These days, the number of people nagging Lee Jae-heon no matter what he does has increased.

“Man, we’re really scared....”

I’m really more scared.

‘I feel deja vu.’

In the previous episode, I was reminded of the situation where the two siblings who lost Hong Gyeong-jun and Kim Yeon-woo on the third floor were frantically hugged by Lee Jae-heon. I thought that perhaps this result was because I pondered over the death of ‘Lee Jae-heon’ while my basic mental strength was greatly reduced due to taking a few classes at school. Still, it’s okay to see people who were in their right mind acting so rudely.

Jaeheon Lee sighed as he felt the wound on his stomach opening again as he was surrounded by two chicks. How do I get out of this?

“...I’m sorry for making you scared.”

“These are empty words, right? “I know everything now.”

“I didn’t mean to do that. “I think I surprised you a lot, so I apologize.”

“Don’t apologize... You’re not at fault other than being selfish.”

“...I’m really sorry.”

Lee Jae-heon, who thought for a moment, suddenly realized.

As a result of pretending to be weak to avoid Ha Seong-yoon’s nagging, I definitely felt that the terrible doctor was taking a step back. At the time, I thought, ‘If it had been my colleagues in my past life, I would have been disgusted and asked why they were acting so disgustingly weak, but they are really funny people.’ But this clearly meant that his acting weak was accepted by soft-spoken chicks.

“....”

“...Uncle?”

Yes, I am pretending to be weak. Let’s pretend to be weak.

“...I’m really sorry....”

“Mister.”

“Really...”

I cast my gaze downward, slightly out of focus. Lee Jae-heon did everything he could to pretend to be weak, such as shaking the hand he was holding or gradually lowering the volume of his voice. I was able to easily imitate what my subordinates looked like in my past life.

I wonder if it was effective, as the strength holding on to Lee Jae-heon gradually weakened.

“...mister.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry, uncle.”

“I didn’t mean to do that.”

“sorry.”

Park Da-young hugged Lee Jae-heon tightly with all expressions erased from her face, and on the other hand, Park Da-hoon slowly pulled away from his back. The two students’ faces were still expressionless and their voices were at a constant volume, but I could see that they were gradually coming to their senses.

‘...If I behave any more harshly here, the atmosphere will be completely ruined, right?’

If I were not careful, I could have brought in Ha Seong-yoon.

Lee Jae-heon, who had no intention of making the situation any more serious, gradually pretended to be his usual self in line with the students’ senses as they came back to their senses. He pretended to come to his senses when he saw Park Da-young starting to cry, probably because she thought she was pushing Lee Jae-heon too much.

Lee Jae-heon made an embarrassed face and swept the corners of Park Da-young’s eyes.

“Don’t cry. I’m sorry.”

“...I’m sorry....”

“I never meant to make you this anxious. “I’m really

sorry... I’m sorry... I was so scared.”

“Uh...”

Lee Jae-heon, who was stroking Park Da-young’s face with his free hands, turned his head to look at Park Da-hoon, and Park Da-hoon, who blinked a few times, quietly walked up to his older sister and hugged her tightly. As expected, there was something endearing about them that cannot be seen in ordinary siblings.

‘Lee Jae-heon’ looked much more relieved. To be honest, I was truly relieved that this modification worked.

“...We will prevent something like this from happening in the future. Yes, if there are any injuries. I’ll tell you that too...”

“...Really?”

The person who asked the question was Park Da-hoon.

“Really, mister.”

“...of course.”

“What a relief.”

As Park Da-hoon said that, his face looked extremely tired and strangely depressed at the same time.

“...mister.”

“...okay.”

“Thank you for saving my life.”

“I... I don’t remember...”

“Thank you so much.”

Park Da-hoon smiled faintly.

“Because he didn’t abandon us even before he died.”

“...Uh....”

“If we do better, you won’t abandon us for the rest of your life.”

“Dahun.”

“Yes?”

The face that asked that question was filled with such happy confidence that Jaeheon Lee was at a loss for words for a moment. Dahoon Park was happy that they had been given an eternal opportunity to fix their future.

I’m thankful for that eternal life.

“...okay.”

That was so unfamiliar.
