Chapter 550

Episode 550

Lee Jae-heon’s intentions were clear.

He is trying to let Seo Jang-hwa know that Jeong Eun-woo, who has become a monster, and his own life are worthless. The reason Seo Jang-hwa is having a hard time now is because of the deaths of Jeong Eun-woo and Lee Jae-heon.

However, Seo Jang-hwa was just an ordinary college student who accepted such consideration without hesitation.

“....”

Seo Jang-hwa stopped crying, unable to cry any more.

“....”

She couldn’t say anything.

“....”

I feel like my head has gone blank....

‘...what does this mean now?’

Seo Jang-hwa tried to use his dull brain to trace the things in front of him.

“Uh...”

And then I realized.

“...Could it be that right now... I....”

“I’m listening.”

“...You’re not trying to comfort me...?”

Seo Jang-hwa’s expression hardened.

“I heard that with all my heart and I... I thought I would like it...” “

....”

“....”

In response to that confusion, Jae-heon Lee slowly took Seo Jang-hwa’s hand. let go.

Lee Jae-heon slowly blinked and looked at Seo Jang-hwa. Seo Jang-hwa, reflected in his gray eyes, was clearly embarrassed and did not look happy at all.

Lee Jae-heon’s smile slowly disappeared at her reaction.

“...isn’t it?”

Although his face was expressionless, Seo Jang-hwa could sense that Lee Jae-heon was embarrassed.

“....”

I was speechless.

“...what the fuck...there’s all this....”

The only words that came out were one-dimensional swear words.

“Why do I like things like that?”

“I’m sorry.”

“....”

It was so absurd that I couldn’t even get angry, so I couldn’t get the right words out.

“....”

So now.

“...When did this....”

“If you mean gills, it’s been a while.”

“...Has it been there since before we went looking for wetsuits?”

“Yes, probably.”

“Why didn’t you tell me...?”

Jaeheon Lee answered the question in a slightly trembling voice in a calm tone.

“I thought you guys would be strangely stubborn, so I was hiding it for efficiency.”

“....”

“I apologize if you are angry that I withheld information. “It’s my fault.”

Seo Jang-hwa turned his gaze towards Park Da-young and Jeong In-ho.

I watched it because I was wondering if they knew about it, but both Park Da-young and Jeong In-ho looked blank, as if they had never thought of this situation.

That alone showed that the current situation was Lee Jae-heon’s arbitrary decision.

“...Why the fuck are you doing this to me...”

Seo Jang-hwa backed away, crying.

“Did I do that wrong?”

I felt like I was going out of my mind from the twisted guilt.

When Lee Jae-heon said ‘it was better’ about Jeong Eun-woo’s death, Seo Jang-hwa was very angry at that overly inhumane remark. At the very least, shouldn’t we do that to someone who was harmed while trying to help us?

But all those inhumane remarks so far have included him.

Including Lee Jae-heon himself, he said that it was better to die because he was a monster.

“Do you really need to make me such a bad bastard?”

If this is the case, what will happen to Seo Jang-hwa, who was angry about Jeong Eun-woo’s death?

“I didn’t mean that...”

“...are they boots?”

“Please shut up...! I know what you’re talking about, so just shut up and get on with your life! Why do you harass people like this every time you open your mouth?! uh? So, is it really worth living in?! Normally, it must have been really hard to put up with the bullying of us, really?!”

It was really unfair.

“...Dahun won’t be able to last long like that.”

As Park Da-young said that, her eyes were looking at the glass box inside the fish tank.

Park Da-young’s eyes had been dark purple for some time, and none of the survivors knew that she was communicating with Park Da-hoon.

Park Da-young’s face turned white and stiff as she talked to her younger brother.

“The water is already up to my shoulders, and I heard it seems like the water is filling up faster.... Maybe it’s because the water is filling up faster because my mental acuity is dropping.”

“So that means Dahun’s condition is very bad?”

“Yes, I guess... I’m not good at talking to myself right now...”

Lee Jae-heon intervened in the conversation between Park Da-young and Jeong In-ho.

“Then how should I blow up the doll?”

“....”

“Don’t make that face.”

Jaeheon Lee rolled his eyes and smiled.

“I believe that you don’t want to argue with me because things have gotten to this point.”

“....”

“Seeing as you haven’t answered until the end, it looks like you want to rebel, but I don’t know. I don’t think that’s a wise decision. “Now that things have come to this, I think it would be better to accept reality.”

Jeong In-ho sighed and said.

“...I know it’s too old to bring it up suddenly, but I wish you could tell me in advance about any abnormalities in your body. As the manager said, so that we can prepare our minds to accept reality.”

“But like my junior said, it’s already in the past. “You can’t change it.”

“That is correct.”

Jeong In-ho, who was rolling his pitch-black eyes as if assessing something, opened his mouth again.

“I will go to Song In-myeong’s side for a moment. That friend was surprisingly good at his job... so there is a possibility that he found new information in room 11.”

“Are you going to leave while the discussion is in progress?”

“I think the conclusion has been reached anyway.”

“That’s right.”

“...No matter what we say, the manager will die...”

Even if Lee Jae-heon and Park Da-hoon did not change their positions, his death was predestined.

‘There is no way Lee Jae-heon, who is becoming a monster, will not kill himself.’

Even if his memories of us disappeared, his obsession with efficiency remained the same. As Lee Jae-heon claims, it would be much more reasonable to kill him and stop him before he turns into a complete monster, so no matter how the survivors stop him, Lee Jae-heon will die.

And Jeong In-ho agreed with his judgment to some extent.

“I can’t help it.”

Lee Jae-heon, who had a faint sense of reason, couldn’t tell how much more terrible the situation would be if he turned into a monster and showed aggression towards us.

That would be something more gruesome than Song In-myeong annihilating us.

“I will agree.”

“It’s great that you adapt quickly.”

“...Anyway, since we agreed, please take care of the rest of the minor plans. I will check to see if there is any good information on Song In-myeong’s side. “I think that would be much more efficient.”

With those words, In-ho Jeong headed to room number 11, and Seo Jang-hwa, who was looking at him, scratched the back of his neck and said,

“...Is this a situation where I have to agree?”

“I would appreciate it if you could do that.”

“Fuck it, I guess whatever happens happens. “At this point, I don’t even think about anything.”

Seo Jang-hwa sighed and continued.

“I agree. “You’re going to die.”

“thank you.”

“...the situation is really shit.”

Seo Jang-hwa, who was swearing, turned his gaze away and looked into space. He smiled slightly as it was clearly evident that he did not want to see Lee Jae-heon.

“Are you whining?”

“Damn it...”

“You’re being cute. “Maybe it’s because I’m still young.”

“It’s really a disaster.”

“Getting angry.”

Lee Jae-heon, who was teasing a child, looked at Park Da-young, who did not respond.

“What does Dayoung think?”

“....”

“...The most important thing right now is Dayoung’s opinion. Isn’t that right?”

As I comforted her, Park Da-young nodded with a firm expression.

“...I agree.”

“....”

Lee Jae-heon smiled deeply without saying a word and held the stiffened Park Da-young in his arms and patted her.

“Good idea.”

Then I thought.

It’s so small.
