Episode 518
Lee Jae-heon’s mind was lost, Park Da-hoon was dying in a box, and Park Da-young’s patience was being worn out in real time due to unbearable disillusionment, but it wasn’t a bad situation.
“It appears that progress is being made steadily.”
Although it was clumsy, it seemed like something was going well.
‘When I heard that Song In-myeong, not anyone else, was the final survivor, I wondered how on earth to resolve this situation...’ I don’t know what
kind of accident led to this conclusion, but Song In-myeong was very cooperative with the survivors. It seemed like Lee Jae-heon didn’t take advantage of his crazy moments to make modifications, let alone when he was with his students.
It was very unexpected, but in the end, Song In-myeong was helping the survivors. Other survivors were also finding things to do and proceeding, so it wasn’t a bad situation.
“If what I heard from Da-young Park is true, I think we can save Da-hoon Park.”
“Yes, I’m really glad.”
“...I’m glad.”
Although Park Da-young’s team’s rescue plan is time-sensitive and Lee Jae-heon’s team’s rescue plan has the disadvantage of being largely dependent on luck.
‘...Anyway, it would be a much better situation than having to watch Park Da-hoon die without any solution. There will be time to resolve issues like Lee Jae-heon and Song In-myeong later.’
In addition, Jung In-ho’s team was also entering the aquarium, so they would be able to help each other and solve the problem much faster. Hong Gyeong-jun let out a small sigh of relief mixed with discomfort.
Kim Yeon-woo must have felt the same way and spoke in a lighter voice.
“Fortunately, the. “I was worried that I couldn’t help you directly, but I think I can leave it alone for an hour.”
“Even if he’s out of his mind, Jaeheon Lee is Jaeheon Lee. After listening to the story, it seems that the fundamental nature of trying to help others has not changed. “There must be a sense of stability in that regard.”
“As expected, Jaeheon Lee is very kind.”
Hong Gyeong-jun gaped at those words.
“....”
“...Detective?”
“...Be good. yes.”
“....”
“...Honestly, I don’t think it’s a good thing...”
Hong Gyeong-jun couldn’t bear to deceive his sincerity and made an aggrieved expression.
Even if you think of a poisonous snake right now, no, no. It wasn’t a situation where a poisonous snake would appear here, but I didn’t really sympathize with Hong Gyeong-jun’s complicated mind anyway. Kim Yeon-woo let out an awkward laugh at the sight of Hong Gyeong-jun looking at him as if to say, ‘Are you really really thinking that?’
“I know that Jaeheon Lee has a bit of a unique side.”
“little? singularity?”
“It’s very strange.”
“I’m glad that Kim Yeon-woo’s insight, which is his great strength, has not become dull.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Kim Yeon-woo, who answered awkwardly, continued.
“But Jaeheon Lee is a good person. Although it may be said that there is an incredible sense of absurdity underlying the mentality of trying to help others in any way possible, not all unreasonable people in the world sacrifice their bodies to protect and comfort others. “That’s not something everyone does.”
“....”
“Jaeheon Lee is basically a person with a good and kind personality. Otherwise it would be a bit like it is now. “There is no way I can help others, even in a situation where my mind is strangely twisted and shaken.”
Kim Yeon-woo spoke softly, as if he was telling a story he always wanted to say.
“Even if it is a sacrifice born of selfishness that we cannot understand, the help and grace we have received does not disappear. So, I think that Jaeheon Lee’s abnormality and that he is a good person are two separate issues. “Isn’t that right?”
“...That is correct.”
Hong Gyeong-jun nodded at Kim Yeon-woo’s sincere words, which were difficult to deny even as a joke. It wasn’t that what she said was absolutely wrong.
However, it was difficult to completely agree.
‘This... may be a problem with my personality, where I see everyone in the world as a potential criminal.’
Hong Gyeong-jun basically focused on people’s shortcomings rather than their strengths. It is suspicious of what effect that shortcoming will have on the other person’s life and what kind of crime it will eventually lead to.
In the same context, Hong Gyeong-jun thought that Lee Jae-heon could be a ‘good adult’ but could not be a ‘good person’. It was because Jaeheon Lee’s methods were too cruel to believe that could be possible.
I’m sure someone will be saddened and shed tears by his methods...
“...It seems like Trooper Kim Yeon-woo really has an upright heart.”
Who could express such a bloody sacrifice with the cute word ‘kind’?
It was a conclusion that only Kim Yeon-woo, who sees the strengths of everyone in the world first, could come to the exact opposite of Hong Kyung-jun. Probably no one among our survivor team thought this way.
Kim Yeon-woo blinked a couple of times, probably because he knew the nuance was strange, but then he just smiled without saying anything.
“thank you.”
“I think that kind of judgment is a big advantage of Police Officer Kim Yeon-woo... really.”
“I think so too.”
There was not a shadow of a shadow on his proud smile.
“....”
Unfortunately, it was not shown how Yoon Garam died in the last episode.
“...Um....”
Ha Seong-yoon raised his head and looked at Yoon Gar-ram again.
She was looking at me as if asking, ‘What do you think?’ and Ha Seong-yoon responded with a smile, as always.
“If Garam thought that way, that would be it.”
“is it so?”
“Did he not want me to die?”
“Rather than that, I wanted to kill him.”
“okay.”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter if it’s not me, at least....”
“Then I know everything. “Our Garam-i heart.”
“....”
Yoon Garam’s smile faded and an awkward voice came out.
“I’m sorry. Maybe it’s because I’m at the store, but I keep saying whatever comes to mind.”
“I think we need that kind of time. “A healthy life is only when people are honest with themselves.”
“Wouldn’t being too honest be a problem?”
“I’m the one in front of Garam right now, so wouldn’t it be okay?”
“That’s right, it’s okay.”
Ha Seong-yoon smiled at the grin on his face as if a child was playing.
“So... I’m trying to be honest with Garam too.”
I came all the way to Yoon Garam’s store for that purpose.
He spoke to Hong Gyeong-jun as if he had just finished preparing, but he had already finished preparing and had even said hello to the people at the park. It was like starting from scratch.
Nevertheless, the reason I stopped by the store instead of the aquarium was because I had a story to share.
“Where should I start....”
Garam Yoon said he would help Seongyoon Ha.
And in order for Ha Seong-yoon to receive help from Yoon Gar-ram, they had to be more honest with each other. Instead of keeping a distance for the same reasons, like adult responsibility or something like that....
“....”
“....”
Yoon Garam has changed.
This time it was Ha Seong-yoon’s turn to change.
“...I saw you die.”
“...yes.”
“Dead and dead... I think that’s probably the case...”
“Yes.”
“...My story might sound a little absurd.”
The words that came out were not well organized.
Feeling embarrassed, Ha Seong-yoon let out a small laugh, and Yoon Gar-ram, who was sitting across from him, also laughed along with him. Ha Seong-yoon continued, feeling strangely impressed by the composition, which was completely opposite to his usual composition.
“Do you understand?”
“sure.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Ha Seong-yoon, who was licking his lips, soon moved his stiff tongue.
“...Does Garam know about regression?”
“...You’re not talking about something like the idea of reincarnation, are you?”
“It’s a little more harsh and stubborn than that.”
“Well, if it’s a regression... “Isn’t it going back to its original state?”
“Well, that’s right. What do you think about resurrection?”
“...I do not know.”
“Yes, I will.”
It was a bit funny even as I said it.
“Would you believe it if we all died and came back to life?”
If it were Ha Seong-yoon, I wouldn’t have believed it.
