Chapter 285

Episode 285

It was five days later when Lee Jae-heon woke up.

“But you woke up earlier than expected.”

“I wonder what the expectations were.”

“Well, about two weeks?”

“Who are you considering as a critically ill patient?”

“Doctor, you are a critically ill patient. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Lee Jae-heon looked tired of the nagging that started as soon as he woke up, and Ha Seong-yoon smiled sadly.

“If you’re already tired, the future will be difficult...”

“What is it? “What does that sympathetic look mean?”

“It’s even more surprising that you ask because you don’t know that.”

And Lee Jae-heon was pampered by the chicks who had been waiting endlessly for him to wake up.

“Mister...!”

“Chief, are you okay?!”

“Hehehe, Manager!”

Even so for Park Da-young, Woo Woo-young, and Kwon Yeon-hee, who were purely worried about Lee Jae-heon’s physical condition.

“Are you out of your mind to follow that?”

“If you’re hurt that much, please stay still.”

“Unless he’s really crazy...”

The chicks who were angry that Lee Jae-heon followed the possessed person were really disgusting to see. He looked away from them in disgust.

“Still, I guess you managed to stop by the pharmacy.”

“Are you changing your mind?”

“Ah, are you going to keep talking back when an adult speaks? huh? “Very cocky.”

“....”

“Why?”

Ha Seong-yoon, who was looking at Jeong In-ho, who was at a loss for words, as if it were funny, said with a smile.

“While you were asleep, I stopped by the convenience store twice and the pharmacy once. “There was no way to do anything with the bones, so we only hastily pulled out the fragments, so please refrain from violent movements.”

“For some reason, it was difficult to breathe.”

“Sleep in discomfort, and please know that this time you really almost died. “They say that if something goes wrong in the chest, not anywhere else, it means life.”

“I didn’t pierce the solar plexus on purpose, right...”

“I just happen to want to ask you something about that.”

Ha Seong-yoon crossed his arms and asked.

“What on earth was that stupid friend doing?”

Yeah, I knew this question would come up.

“...I wasn’t that stupid...”

“Why are you defending me again? “Are you a fanatic?”

“No, that’s not it. This means that it is true. He really wasn’t that stupid. “I’m not saying he did the right thing at all, but...”

I sighed as I felt the bones around my solar plexus tingling.

“Shit, I don’t even know.”

Jaeheon Lee didn’t know much about this situation.

“First of all... uh... I followed along that way, but of course I am reflecting on that. I was out of my mind at the time... I thought I wouldn’t miss it, so I followed along...”

“You must be so foolish.”

“Hmm.”

Fortunately, Ha Seong-yoon seemed to think that Lee Jae-heon did not follow him voluntarily, but that the possessor clouded his mind and made him follow him. While Lee Jae-heon was making a perplexed expression, Detective Hong Gyeong-jun approached him.

“Were you already talking?”

“Detective, why are you here again?”

“yes? Well... isn’t that what the police do? Listen to the circumstances.”

“The words are too serious....”

“I don’t want to do anything serious with Mr. Lee Jae-heon, but what can I do? “You always get caught up in strange things, so I have to do something like this.”

While saying that and shrugging his shoulders, it felt strange to see that ‘Jaeheon Lee’ seemed to be really at ease. As it was, there was no reason for Hong Gyeong-jun to feel this comfortable with ‘Lee Jae-heon’.

‘They keep comparing me to the shooter... Will this be a problem later?’

Jaeheon Lee thought for a moment before shaking off his thoughts. It wasn’t a problem right away, but in order to maintain Yuri’s mental strength, I could at least imitate the shooter. In the first place, the shooter was also Lee Jae-heon himself.

After thinking about it, he opened his mouth.

Jaeheon Lee made a desperate effort to pretend not to know. Here, it made no sense if ‘Jaeheon Lee’ knew the manager.

“...Ah, when we were fighting... I think the other person muttered a few times when I was fighting that guy.”

“Did you say anything else?”

“I’ve heard quite a few people say they don’t want to die, or beg for help, or beg for death.”

“aha.”

As Ha Seong-yoon’s smile grew deeper, Lee Jae-heon asked.

“...Do you hate it that much?”

“Are you saying that?”

“I made a mistake. sorry.”

“Even so...”

He tilted his head, looking at Lee Jae-heon’s solar plexus.

“It must be difficult to tell because the bones in your chest are broken, but you are speaking quite smoothly.”

“Well, this isn’t a very... serious injury.”

“That doesn’t sound like a horse?”

“Why do you criticize me whenever I say something?”

“You have to sound like a horse to be accepted, sir.”

Hong Gyeong-jun intervened in Ha Seong-yoon and Lee Jae-heon’s comic talk.

“It seems like they were on good terms, and they weren’t too upset that the criminal died.”

“....”

“I even tried to kill you first, but it doesn’t seem like you were disappointed.”

Lee Jae-heon blinked slowly and answered.

“It’s just for some reason...”

“For some reason?”

“I thought it might be like this.”

Hong Gyeong-jun asked.

“What do you mean this could happen?”

“It doesn’t seem like anything special.”

“It’s something special.”

“I don’t know if I thought it could be like this someday, or if I just didn’t feel it... I wasn’t really surprised. “Since the first time we met.”

It wasn’t surprising. Not only was the park already aware of the existence of possessors, but it was a common occurrence for former residents to sacrifice a small number of people for the benefit of themselves and the community. So, I wasn’t surprised when a junior, whom I had a good relationship with, tried to kill me.

“That could be true.”

Even if he tries to kill Lee Jae-heon out of selfishness or, conversely, dies in his own grass.

“It’s not really anything special, after all.”

Anyone could do that.

“...Oh, by the way, do you have enough food? If you didn’t have cash, it would have been difficult to buy things at a convenience store. “You’re not flexible enough to give your finger.”

“...I spent all the cash I had, but that was enough for now, and I traded by-products such as simple clothes and hair. I don’t have any problem.”

Jeong In-ho said with a smile.

“Manager, when you have some free time, let’s go to the pharmacy. Even if the organs and skin somehow got better, the damage to the ribs was still severe. “No one has any broken bones, so it would be better for the manager to visit in person.”

“I’m fine. It would be impossible to go alone, but...”

“No crazy person would send a patient like you to the mall alone.”

Hong Gyeong-jun nodded at that.

“Well, I’ve heard everything, but there are still a lot of things that haven’t been resolved... It’s not important right now, so it’s best to get some rest first. Let’s proceed slowly. “There’s no need to rush.”

After talking for a while, they put Lee Jae-heon down again and left. Lee Jae-heon, who had suddenly received such a warm welcome, blinked blankly and then closed his eyes. This was because recovery had not yet occurred.

Then, a sudden thought occurred to me.

“....”

Now that I think about it, why did it have to be a plaster statue?

‘...It’s a really random thought, but really, why?’

Survivors trapped inside the school were turned into plaster statues.

‘But why? why?’

Why did it have to be a plaster statue? There must have been many different types of monsters. There was a reason for everything in this world, even if it was very trivial.

So what is the topic related to plaster statues?

“...Uhm....”

After tossing and turning for a moment, Jaeheon Lee closed his eyes again.

Whatever it was, I was sleepy now.
