Episode 267 Hong Gyeong-jun,
who heard Lee Jae-heon and Jeong In-ho’s speculation, gathered the survivors together.
“...So it has been confirmed that there are survivors who are hostile towards us. Originally, two or more people gathered together because of the monster, but when moving, how about at least three people moving together?”
“...Monsters alone are overwhelming, but we also have to be wary of humans...”
Kim Ki-jeong muttered with a tired face, and teacher Lee Yun-byeol shook her head as if agreeing with his words. In particular, team leader Woo Soo-young, who was less accustomed to the behind-the-scenes world, added this. With a pale face, he asked back as if he did not understand the current situation.
“...why...? Why are humans attacking us...?”
“If you watch disaster movies, you see that a lot.”
“Life is not a movie....”
“If you look at us now, we are worse than a movie.”
“Ahh....”
In the end, Kwon Yeon-hee patted her back as if she felt sorry for Team Leader Woo Soo-young, who was curled up in tears with tears streaming down her face. In Lee Jae-heon’s eyes, it was an acorn height comeback, but he could feel that Kwon Yeon-hee had grown compared to her first visit to the underworld. In the sense that you make yourself cry and then comfort yourself.
Lee Jae-heon thought to himself as he looked at Woo Woo-young’s really haggard-looking face.
‘I think I need to take care of that one.’
Woo Joo-young was adaptable enough to help Kwon Yeon-hee, who lost her footing as soon as she entered the secret world, but it would have been difficult for Woo Joo-young, who was extremely ordinary and boasted a soft personality even amidst that mediocrity, to stay sane in the secret world.
The problem is...
“Manager, are you feeling okay?”
“When Assistant Manager Jeong gets bored, that’s the first thing he asks?”
“Isn’t it because the manager is in a bad state every time I get bored?”
“Look at the talking pig.”
The point was that Woo Joo-young still couldn’t adapt to ‘Lee Jae-heon’.
‘It seems like the distance has narrowed at least because of the chase that took place at night, but it’s still a little...’
But that didn’t mean I could stay away from team leader Woo Soo-young forever. To put it to the extreme, what would you do if you ended up feeling awkward alone like that? Since I wasn’t going to be like this awkwardly when I returned to reality anyway, I had to solve the problem in the other world while I still had time. For that purpose, a small amount of groundwork was laid.
Moreover, Woo Joo-young was not the only survivor who needed care.
“Mr. Munsan looks unwell. “Would you like to rest a little longer?”
“Oh no. “I’ll at least pick up firewood from the mountain.”
Munsan-gun had a bad complexion ever since the topic of school came up.
“I have to go home.”
“We can’t go home.”
“I have to go.”
Jang Seo-ah reveals a strange obsession with her doll-like face.
“Then your hands will wear out.”
“Oh no... I’m just wiping. just.”
Kim Ki-jeong wipes his hands until they bleed, as if his tuberculosis is so severe.
‘It’s a total mess.’
Although she doesn’t say anything, Kwon Yeon-hee also seems to be in a bad condition, as if she was stimulated by the abandoned monster dog.
In addition, there are new-faced students with mental breakdowns, including a male student with a broken leg, and the Park siblings who keep a subtle distance from them. If things continue like this, someone will die before they even get to the final boss. At this point, the probability that there is a crazy person spraying sleeping pills has increased.
‘...Let’s try to solve it step by step.’
Lee Jae-heon grabbed Hong Gyeong-jun and asked.
“Do you ever want to go to the pharmacy?”
“...Yes, student Kim Hee-chan’s leg condition was serious, so we decided to stop by a small pharmacy nearby. I’m also planning to stop by a convenience store. If you have any advice, please let me know.”
“It would be easier if you just come with me.”
“Are you saying that?”
Hong Gyeong-jun’s face, which was already expressionless, took on an even colder look.
“It was a miracle that he moved this far with such injuries. It’s been so painful to keep my mouth shut for so long, but you’re going to make my head ache while you find out everything about Lee Jae-heon’s condition? “I refuse.”
‘Lee Jae-heon’ was so resolute that he seemed to declare that he could not move from this position.
“...It’s all like that for a reason...”
“Let’s hear it.”
“Patients need to go to the pharmacy. “Only patients can purchase medicine.”
Lee Jae-heon spoke to the child who blinked his round eyes.
“No one can say anything to you. That’s why you can’t even do it to Seo-ah.”
“...You’re weak.”
“It is like that now. But adults think external appearances are more important.”
“I know it too.”
“You are the person adults fear most in the world.”
He has a lot of money, a great background, and great strength, but his personality is dirty. Moreover, since people in their 40s are adults who have grown up enough, they don’t fight carelessly to save face. Lee Jae-heon was clearly the type of person that the adults in this world both hated and feared the most.
“So you don’t have to worry. okay?”
“...It’s scary.”
“Nothing will happen to Seo-ah.”
“....”
Jang Seo-ah, who was looking at Choi Min-hong and Lee Jae-heon alternately, secretly held out her hand.
“promise.”
“okay.”
Lee Jae-heon, who held his little finger up to his finger, stroked Jang Seo-ah’s head with that hand. There was still no trace of trust in the child’s face as he quietly looked up at him, but Lee Jae-heon was satisfied with this. Originally, it was difficult to invade the established world of children.
There was no need to solve everything just this once. These children will also need time to get used to the changes in their surroundings...
“Mister, me too.”
“me too.”
“me too.”
“But what...? “Is there anything you want to promise Minhong?”
In response to Lee Jae-heon’s question, Choi Min-hong said, pouting his lips.
“this.”
Choi Min-hong’s hand, mumbling like that, was holding Lee Jae-heon’s hand. Because he was wearing gloves, Choi Min-hong’s request was even more indistinguishable, so he blinked. Minhong Choi took off his gloves without saying a word. Jaeheon Lee didn’t bother to stop it.
The child asked as he looked at his fingertips, which had no nails and showed bare skin.
“Where did you go?”
“I left it at home.”
“Then can you give it to me?”
“It’s unsanitary so it’s not allowed. “I’ll bring you a better gift later.”
“Then promise that.”
After making an appointment with Choi Min-hong, Lee Jae-heon left, leaving two children and an old man looking at him. I didn’t even sit down in the first place because I only wanted to have a quick chat. Even Ai and Azalea did not catch Lee Jae-heon like that.
Lee Jae-heon’s gaze landed on Munsan-gun and Kim Ki-jeong, who had just picked up a small amount of firewood.
‘Munsan-gun seems to be a problem related to the school, so I can leave it alone for a little longer if I leave it among others... Kim Ki-jeong is not in an urgent situation yet.’
His eyes soon landed on Kwon Yeon-hee.
“...Boss?”
“I thought you were tired.”
“Hey... I haven’t even been anywhere.”
Kwon Yeon-hee, who was waving her hand with a pretty normal face, really seemed to think she was okay, but Lee Jae-heon was a little skeptical of that opinion. Anyway, unlike the last time at the park, if you don’t immediately flip over when you see the abandoned monster dog and don’t realize that you’re tired, it means you’re not in a hurry here either.
“....”
Lee Jae-heon, who had confirmed that far, looked at a woman.
His face was pale, probably because he was quite tired, and he had dark circles under his eyes. Her hair, which was always curled up, was disheveled and tied down in a bundle. Perhaps because her mind was still reeling from the atmosphere of the other world, she often stared blankly into space.
Yes, Team Leader Woo Soo-young.
“Team leader, would you like some water?”
“...iced coffee. thank you.”
“You looked like you were out of your mind....”
“I’m okay, really. I’m really okay.”
Lee Jae-heon tilted his head while listening to the conversation between Kang Min-ah and Woo Joo-young.
‘Everyone is dying.’
For your information, Team Leader Woo Soo-young was the person who had to solve this problem at once.
People like that have a short life because of trivial things.
