Chapter 468

Chapter 468

I’m only talking about it now, but it felt a little rushed.

‘If I had proceeded more leisurely, I could have used a method that wouldn’t have hurt me.’

However, I didn’t know when I would be eaten by the underworld again. Even though Lee Jae-heon has a connection with the writer of this world, I still don’t understand how she wants to manipulate Lee Jae-heon. Since you don’t know her intentions, you never know when you will fall into the secret world under her jurisdiction.

“....”

Of course, the other side of the world wasn’t bad. Personally, I felt rather comfortable.

The problem was that I didn’t know what the ghost police would do while I was in the underworld. To be honest, I was anxious about how the prototype would be ready for production, so I worked quickly.

‘But first, we sent high school students to transfer schools. I went to a charity party and made connections with people in the industry. I also formed a friendly relationship with Song In-myeong to the point where I could receive help in the underworld. Seong Dae-young, who had to be dealt with, was handled neatly by his older brother and sister... It was an unexpected situation to be investigated by detectives in relation to meeting the possessed person and obtaining information, but it ended well anyway.’

Lee Jae-heon, who was drinking tea alone after putting Seo-ah to bed, muttered.

“I also went to the aquarium.”

At this level, it seemed like he had kept his promise to Seo-ah not to run away.

A snake-like smile appeared on his lips.

‘If I could just drag Lee Jae-hee to the secret world and kill him, I wouldn’t have any regrets.’

For the poor prototype who was misunderstood as the main culprit who abused ‘Jae-heon Lee’, Jae-heon Lee replaced the culprit with a member of the Lee family. Because of the probability, one of Lee Jae-heon’s family members, excluding Lee Jae-hyung, who was known not to be a mannequin, had to become a mannequin.

So, if possible, I would rather kill my active eldest daughter and turn her into a mannequin in the underworld, rather than my parents, who are old people who are now powerless and pose little threat, but it was a bit of a pain since I wasn’t in a situation where I could stick around with Lee Jae-hee on a regular basis.

Lee Jae-heon, who was thinking of her delicate face, slowly raised his hand and touched her solar plexus.

“....”

Does ‘Lee Jae-heon’ not want his family to die?

He blinked, feeling heavy in his chest as if he was tired. I feel sorry for the old manager who still cares about his family even after being put through that situation, but I needed their sacrifice.

‘I can’t suffer losses just because I don’t want to kill others.’

Such inefficient work was envoy.

* * *

Lee Jae-heon, who got injured while working in a hurry, did not come to the other side right away.

“Manager, here are the approval documents.”

“Ah... you don’t like this? this is right? “The spacing is not right.”

“I’m sorry. I will correct it.”

“Let’s do it well at once.”

Daily life continued as usual.

In fact, the recent daily lives of the survivors were not so smooth as ‘normal’, but regardless, the atmosphere at the company was the same as usual. Lee Jae-heon, who is an old man, picks up unnecessary quibbles and lowers the morale of the department, laughing hard, Woo Joo-young covers it up, and the rest of the employees hold their breath and do their work.

Therefore, it cannot be said that daily life was particularly gentle, but even this peace felt like rain in a drought to the survivors. The survivors, who were anxious about when they would end up in the other world, began to feel at ease little by little.

“If I do this well, wouldn’t it be able to last a while?”

“You said there is no cycle of being eaten. It could be in an hour, but who knows, it could be in a year? “Can I have some hope?”

“That line is a flag... a death flag.”

“Oh, don’t do that. Words become seeds.”

The survivors huddled together and talked, but when other employees came, they made a fool of themselves.

“flag? Are you talking about movies?”

“Yes, have you seen what came out this time? None of us have seen it yet...”

“Aha, yes. I saw it. “It was fun.”

The story about the behind-the-scenes world was completely hidden and covered with a movie I had never seen before. As he continued to lead an unexpected double life, the survivors realized why Lee Jae-heon’s acting skills were so outstanding. In fact, Lee Jae-heon’s acting skills were not developed in the same way as theirs.

One sunny weekend. Seo Jang-hwa, who came to the meeting, grumbled while drinking coffee.

“You’ve only been scolded once or twice, and I’m really getting sick of this.”

“But I can’t tell you about the underworld.”

Seo Jang-hwa sighed deeply at Kang Min-ah’s comforting words.

“That’s right, I know. “I know, but... this kind of thing really doesn’t suit my temperament.”

“I had no choice but to get used to it.”

“I’m waiting for the day when I get used to it too. “If I were to talk comfortably somewhere, the kids would come in and I would have to make excuses, which is quite embarrassing.”

“Is it very difficult?”

“It’s not that hard... I’m just humble.”

Vivian nodded.

“Janghwa, you need to improve your acting skills.”

“Do you like it? “Is it because of your acting skills?”

“Why are you angry?”

“I don’t know, kid. “If you leave me and disappear alone this time, you will really be left behind.”

“Was the bruise you made on my back last time not enough?”

“I don’t know how crazy this crazy bastard is, and why this world is so damn crazy...”

Seo Jang-hwa muttered shakily, and his eyes fell on Woo Woo-young and Kwon Yeon-hee.

“Actually, I thought you two were a little surprised. Oh, did you say that Team Leader Woo Soo-young was taken away unexpectedly?”

“Oh really? That happened while I was holding hands with Yeonhee...”

“Then you won’t go with me next time?”

“well.”

Woo Woo-young smiled sheepishly and gave a vague answer, and Seo Jang-hwa didn’t ask any more questions.

Stories about Woo Woo-young, who appears to be a man of common sense on the surface, had a certain temperament or that he had made a special determination, were too personal information.

“Oh my, I came to buy flowers?”

“You’re sad.”

“It’s a joke.”

Jaeheon Lee asked in a casual tone.

“I heard everyone is meeting at a cafe somewhere. Why don’t you participate?”

“The flowers are left alone.”

“Oh, so?”

“I have no intention of neglecting my main job.”

“That’s great.”

Garam Yoon smiled shyly at his praise.

“thank you.”

“What are you saying I did?”

“Thank you for caring about me.”

“That’s all?”

“Maybe not at all.”

Garam Yoon continued speaking in his characteristic soft voice.

“Actually, you rarely get compliments at this age, right? “It wouldn’t be there at all if customers weren’t impressed by how pretty the flower packaging was.”

“I guess Ha Seong-yoon was so heartless that he didn’t even give me a word of praise?”

“Rather, they take great care in helping me become independent. “It’s not that I don’t like it, but sometimes I want to be silly like this.”

“Would you like to talk to Woo Joo-young?”

“With Jooyoung... well, I wanted to have a calm conversation rather than praise.”

As expected, Garam Yoon seemed to view Woo Sooyoung as a friend. Unlike Ha Seong-yoon and Lee Jae-heon, who are clearly adults to Garam Yoon, he probably thinks of her as just a friend and close sister who is a little older than him. Lee Jae-heon nodded, thinking that it was a desirable phenomenon.

“Are you still in contact with Mr. Munsan?”

“sometimes...? Every morning, when someone asks me to say hello to the group chat, I reply. Perhaps Grandma Dal-lae would know better about Mr. Munsan-gun? “It seems like we meet often.”

“Not a bad combination, that one.”

“I think our combination will be pretty good too.”

Jaeheon Lee thought so too.

“I won’t deny it.”

Because the combination of monsters and monsters is bound to go together at any time.

“Ah, asking me to make you a bouquet wasn’t just empty words. “I would appreciate it if you could make one in a red color.”

“Would you like to decorate a vase?”

“Yes, it’s slowly wilting and it’s time to replace it.”

“please wait for a moment.”

Garam Yoon skillfully wove a bunch of flowers and wrapped them in light purple wrapping paper, and Jaeheon Lee accepted the bouquet, finished with a wine-colored ribbon, with a smile.

“It’s pretty. Thank you.”

“Who are you giving it to?”

“Hey, are you trying to be jealous?”

“It’s similar.”

“That won’t happen.”

Jaeheon Lee buried his head in a bouquet of flowers with a nice scent and continued speaking.

“Because he’s a dead person.”

“...aha.”

Yoon Garam, who hesitated a little, soon opened his eyes and smiled.

“I guess you loved it a lot.”

“I still like it.”

“It’s not love?”

“It could be love.”

Lee Jae-heon left the flower shop and headed home, answering like a Zen question, roughly setting a tune to the children playing in the living room, and then entering the master bedroom. I carefully packed the bouquet and placed it in an empty bottle on the table.

And then he called a monster.

“hello friend.”

A shadow monster billowing like smoke came out and stood next to Jaeheon Lee.

“Look, it’s pretty.”

―...Love....

“It’s pretty. “I bought this sincerely, so why don’t you at least admire it?”

-i love you. You....

“When I look at flowers, I see something strange.”

Every time I calmly said one word, I felt at ease.

Yes, this was the world I lived in. This was the role I was given.

“...well, as long as I’m satisfied, that’s enough.”

If you live efficiently, you won’t have any unnecessary thoughts.

Lee Jae-heon smiled casually and erased the shadow monster.
