Chapter 274

Episode 274:

While buying medicine at the pharmacy, the main character in the novel described the pain at the time like this.

‘I feel like my soul is being ripped out.’

Called.

‘...I thought it was a common expression, but it really feels that way.’

Lee Jae-heon recalled feeling lost the moment the pharmacist finished checking his condition and placed the scanner on his wrist to make payment. Because I had memories of my past life, I didn’t lose my mind due to this much pain, but apart from the pain, the feeling of something essential inside my body shaking at that moment was so brief but intense that I couldn’t forget it.

“....”

I had a bad memory.

“Are you sure you’re okay, Manager?”

“...How many times did I tell you that it was okay?”

Actually, I was a little surprised that it hurt more than I thought.

In his previous life, Lee Jae-heon had the ability to regenerate, but because he only recovered at a significantly faster rate than others, he had never experienced the pain of regeneration all at once like now. I guess you could say it was an unfamiliar pain. It was a strange pain on a different level from having my ribs tormented with a hammer and drill.

“Ugh, it’s because you don’t look okay...!”

“Employee Kwon says the manager is fine, but why are you talking so much?”

“Manager, you almost threw up earlier!”

“Does the fact that I’m as tall as a pea because my fur is fluffy make me laugh at the flaws of an adult?”

“Ahh, don’t keep talking back...!”

It’s so sad that I cry.

‘I guess my condition is that bad.’

To be honest, I couldn’t remember how Jaeheon Lee reacted objectively when he made the payment. Although it was said to be a momentary incident, I remember staggering immediately afterward, so I think I was slightly closer to death. However, looking at the silent protagonist and the dumbfounded doctor, I could vaguely feel the severity of the incident.

Lee Jae-heon calmed down as he looked at Kwon Yeon-hee, who was spinning around and fidgeting next to him, and Woo Joo-young, who was shaking his head as if he sympathized with Kwon Yeon-hee, but didn’t come close because he was so scared.

“Whoa...”

It wasn’t a good choice to lose one’s mind while fluffy chicks were watching.

“It’s really okay, so please stop. “I took the medicine right away, so why are you making such a fuss?”

“But that doesn’t mean your stomach or legs will get better....”

“Let’s think positively. “First of all, you deleted one.”

“....”

Kwon Yeon-hee had a lot to say, but she backed away with a face that said she would endure it because she was a sinner.

“...If you have anything to say, say it.”

“...Nothing....”

He probably thought that he was the cause of Lee Jae-heon’s rib injury, but Lee Jae-heon internally applauded his pure spirit. Among these disgusting chicks, it was rare to find one that could be used to one’s heart’s content like this. Even if you use it openly, you won’t notice.

Ha Seong-yoon, who was looking at Lee Jae-heon, asked.

“How do you feel? “The small fruit in the park had the side effect of lasting pain until it healed, but I heard that this goes away in just one second, so I’m curious about the patient’s thoughts.”

“I’m curious about everything, but I’ll tell you honestly... It’s similar to the feeling you get after riding a roller coaster 15 times in a row. “It passes in an instant, but feeling dizzy is similar to something that lasts for a long time.”

“So you’re dizzy?”

“It was just a metaphor. “Aren’t you curious about what the side effects are?”

Actually, I still felt a little dizzy, but I swallowed that feeling. This was because I knew that if I was discovered to be dizzy while the phantom pain that was already throbbing in my ribs continued, the nagging would double. Pretending to be weak would be less effective if you continue to do so, so you had to do it in moderation.

Jaeheon Lee said with a shameless face.

“So, let’s take some other medicine during this time.”

“You’re crazy.”

Ha Seong-yoon waved his hands and said.

“Is the value of the medicine high enough to warrant a significant decline in Lee Jae-heon’s function?”

“...yes...?”

Woo Woo-young stiffened at the word ‘function’ and Kwon Yeon-hee urgently checked the atmosphere, but Lee Jae-heon was actually quite satisfied. It seemed like the word was written with the crazy ‘Lee Jae-heon’ in mind, but he was quite happy with the attempt to adapt to himself.

Ha Seong-yoon, who did not know his true feelings, continued.

“Just because it’s a secret world doesn’t mean the wounds won’t heal. Of course, in the case of patient Kim Hee-chan, it was a leg injury that greatly affected his movement, and it was difficult to expect a natural recovery, so it had to be resolved as soon as possible, but it also meant that we had to immediately deal with an unclear injury that may occur in the future.”

“There is no harm in preparing in advance.”

Jeong In-ho, who understood the situation, intervened in Lee Jae-heon’s words.

“It’s just that there’s nothing wrong with it, and it’s not like it’s absolutely necessary to buy medicine now. “Isn’t that right?”

“But...”

“The wounds on the manager’s abdomen and calf will still be the same anyway, so there is no reason to resolve everything today. If police officer Kim Yeon-woo or Hong Gyeong-jun come, you can avoid the monsters on the streets with relative ease. “It won’t be that much of a hassle to come back next time.”

“....”

At that moment, the words, ‘Are you still saying that after seeing my ribs shattered today?’ rose up in my throat, but I tried to hold back because I felt like I was trying to stop him by explaining it in terms of ‘Lee Jae-heon’.

But I didn’t want to back down like this.

‘You guys are going to leave without me next time.’

It was obvious even without looking. It’s good to see people sneaking around among themselves, pretending to just agree with each other like they do now. Even though Lee Jae-heon approached Jung In-ho to get on the main character’s bus, he was not a great man who would just sit by and watch chicks get into limbs or repeat inefficient tasks.

“....”

Should we sell Kim Hee-chan once again?

‘I’m sure he’s hoping that everything will get better, but I wonder how he’ll feel if only the bones heal... If we keep pushing him like this, won’t he just get over it?’

Lee Jae-heon, who was worried, felt a pull on his sleeve and turned his head to look at Yoon Gar-ram. Garam Yoon muttered helplessly as he sat on a chair in the pharmacy, looking up at himself forlornly.

“I want to go back quickly and rest...”

“...Ah...”

You damn chick.

‘It comes out like this here?’

There is a lot of sincerity that has been shown to Yoon Garam so far, so if ‘Lee Jaeheon’ were to hold out any longer, it would have been a character collapse. There was no possibility. There is no way that Yoon Ga-ram knew about his situation, but it seemed to be true that he was deliberately pretending to be weak in the hope that ‘Lee Jae-heon’ would not win and would bend his opinion.

Lee Jae-heon, who kissed his lips a few times, nodded slowly.

“...All right. “Please go back.”

“Well thought out.”

Seeing Ha Seong-yoon smiling happily with a face that said, ‘I raised my daughter really well’ was a bit misleading, but it was strange to say anything here, so Jae-heon Lee kept his mouth shut. After drying his fur until it was fluffy, a cocky chick who didn’t know any grace was pecking at Lee Jae-heon’s hand.

Jaeheon Lee took the bone medicine and painkillers that the pharmacist gave him and sighed with regret.

‘...I can’t help it. If you stimulate Kim Hee-chan, something will come out...’

Even if he is enduring the pain in a gentle manner for now, he is still a newborn chick. Even 18 years old. It was already known that the inhabitants of this world were not immune to pain. It’s human nature to become sensitive when you’re sick, so I thought that if I nudged him a little, he’d automatically blame ‘Jaeheon Lee’.

And Lee Jae-heon’s expectations were shattered when he returned to the shelter.

“thank you. I really... thank you so much...”

“Oh no...”

“I heard you were sick because of me. Thanks to you, I’ve gotten a lot better... I’m really... I’m really sorry....”

“....”

What the fuck is this?

“...why...?”

Lee Jae-heon felt aggrieved.

If there’s this many people gathered together, wouldn’t it be polite for at least one person to be a troll?
