Theatrical Regression Life

Chapter 128

Episode 128

In this world where there is only one death that each person can have, it was very meaningful to owe them their lives. At least that’s what Jaeheon Lee thinks, who missed this point and ended up in this situation.

Of course, he did not place much value on enduring the pain of others on his behalf, but it would be different from the other chicks’ perspective.

Lee Jae-heon wanted it to be seen that he sacrificed himself for them to some extent, and deliberately revealed the pain that came with treating Ha Seong-yoon’s wounds.

Look, I gave up this much for you.

“…I think it’s worth trying two more times.”

So even if I kill someone, you will have to defend me for a moment.

I hope the current deal brings you some sobriety.

* * *

“…What should I do if you say something like that here, Mr. Lee Jae-heon?”

Detective Hong Gyeong-jun’s devastated voice echoed inside the cave-like pavilion.

“You took my side, but I am sorry for this.”

“I’m not saying this because I’m on someone’s side. There is a thing called shock death in this world. “Even if you suffer too much, you can die.”

“It would be better than having someone accidentally die because they couldn’t escape because of their injuries.”

Lee Jae-heon’s gaze, as he said that, landed on teacher Lee Yun-byeol, who was holding the child tightly in her arms. When people’s eyes caught her, she hesitated and touched her ankle as if she was surprised. This was the area that was injured before meeting Detective Hong Gyeong-jun.

Her face was red with embarrassment, and it seems that Lee Yun-byeol also thought that it would be good if her leg could heal with Lee Jae-heon’s help.

“And Han Do-yoon over there… our group was also injured a lot.”

“Boss.”

“I know very well that I am the manager, Assistant Manager Jeong.”

Jaeheon Lee was smiling, but anyone could sense that he was very tired of this situation. Looking at his sunken eyes, I couldn’t think of any other case.

“Let’s not procrastinate and just do what we have to do, whatever it takes.”

“But…”

“Are you confident that no one will mess with me with such a good treatment method? “No, they’re people who can’t stand pain.”

“….”

“Oh, I wasn’t swearing. “It’s just true that I tolerate it better.”

Song In-myeong was able to read unfamiliar emotions on his face.

‘…Is this resignation?’

It was a feeling that he could not understand at all.

Lee Jae-heon, who turned his head as if expecting others to make their own decision, seemed to have no human trust in others. That would mean that most of the people he encountered betrayed his trust.

There were many clues among the sentences he uttered.

First of all, ‘let’s not drag on’ meant he was confident that these people would somehow use the treatment tools he had, and ‘because it’s true that I tolerate it better’ meant that he was used to embracing pain on someone else’s behalf. There was absolutely no one who disbelieved in humanity.

But whatever. The decision made in this situation could be said to be wise.

“….”

Song In-myeong glanced at his friends who had strange expressions and touched his face with his hand to check whether the usual languid expression was still there. Adding a bit of bluntness here would make for a not-so-bad expression for asking a question.

He spat out the words with a pathetic look on his face.

“Are you an idiot?”

“…Hey hey hey. “Why the fuck are you like this again?”

He felt Seo Jang-hwa, who looked like a gorilla, pulling on his finely grown hair, but Song In-myeong had no intention of pulling it back as things progressed this far.

You never know when you might be overtaken by a monster, so you have to mess with it as much as you want.

“I heard that if you eat that, it will hurt several times more. If that’s the case, it shouldn’t have been used in front of us in the first place. “I don’t know if he knew someone would hit him in the back and showed it to him.”

“You need to refine your character, Inmyeong.”

“You bastards called friends… did I say something wrong?”

There are some who have their own backs, but basically, in this society, if you want to make killing people your hobby, you need to be tactful. Song In-myeong noticed that several people, including Vivian, already knew that Lee Jae-heon could treat people in that way.

Actually, it was an obvious story. Noh Yeon-seok’s stomach was in tatters, but he didn’t seem to be in much pain when he moved. It was hard to see because his clothes were dirty with blood and other dirt, but anyone could tell by looking at his movements that he was not in pain.

‘So I thought there might be a way to treat it.’

I had no idea that it would be achieved based on someone’s sacrifice.

How could there be such perfect ingredients?

“I’m sorry, but my friends were hurt a lot too. “It may be okay for you as long as your group doesn’t get sick, but not for me.”

Instinctively making a provocation, he watched Jaeheon Lee’s reaction.

“I don’t know exactly how the system works, but I know that if I eat that round thing, it’s over. “You idiot, I don’t understand why you showed it so openly when you knew it would come out selfishly.”

“Song In-myeong, this fucking bastard is really….”

“Oh, just stay still. You and Vivian, that idiot, are hurt. Are you going to leave it like that?”

Song In-myeong saw other people secretly revealing their greed in his words. Until now, they had stopped because of Detective Hong Gyeong-jun’s vehement opposition and their own conscience, but when Song In-myeong openly showed a legitimate excuse of being a ‘friend’, their greed was revealed.

It suddenly occurred to me that if Lee Jae-heon was killed by people like that, it would be nice to capture him on a canvas along with the causes that led to his death. It seems like there won’t be any more space once Kim Yeon-woo and Lee Jae-heon are included, but that’s because the canvas can be made bigger.

Song In-myeong observed Lee Jae-heon once again and said,

“…It doesn’t matter, though.”

“….”

“You have to choose who gets treatment, because I’m tired.”

I almost let out an exclamation without realizing it.

‘Fuck’

that sucks.

Of all the things I’ve killed, there was no such crazy person.

‘Aren’t you crazy?’

It was the first time in my life that I had seen such a scumbag who seemed to throw his life into the trash can. For some reason, I thought that even if that person knew what kind of art I did, he would just spit one curse and then die.

It was too precious for me to kill someone like that. Either as the most ideal death that Jaeheon Lee wishes for, or as a death that he does not wish for but is obligated to do. It was right to end with sacrifice. If it has to be a material that is more suitable for the topic he is envisioning.

As I was thinking about how to kill it, I heard a watery voice.

“Oh no.”

It was a woman with light brown hair.

“You really can’t do it. Don’t do it. Our manager will die.”

“…What are you suddenly saying again, Kwon Yeonhee?”

“He’s already dying from pain, so why should he be in even more pain…! “Get out of here, you bastards!”

The woman said, Kwon Yeon-hee hesitantly walked to Lee Jae-heon’s side and clung to him. I was crying with a pure and sad desire, as if a child was looking at his parents and telling them to play with me instead of going to work.

The place where the enemy’s young gaze landed was none other than Song In-myeong.

“Why are you telling our manager to be sick! Instead, I won’t fix it or hurt you! “If you’re so worried about your friends, take care of it yourself!”

“I’m sorry, but do you remember that he said he would treat me first?”

It seems like he has a good reputation.

“That’s why I asked. Why did you do such a stupid thing? “I had my own worries?”

“You sound like you’re worried…!”

Kwon Yeon-hee, who said that, probably gained strength from the fact that Lee Jae-heon did not reject her, so she dragged him and hid among the group. So, to Jaeheon Lee’s ‘original group’.

The doctor, looking at her, sighed and then smiled.

“…Yeonhee spoke loudly about how much she cared for the manager, but would you understand? “I’m always worried about when that person will die.”

“What do you mean the real wound doesn’t even move there? Does that even kill people?”

“Hey you piece of trash.”

This

powerful force hitting the back of his head was clearly Seo Jang-hwa’s.

“…! Fuck you! “It fucking hurts!”

“Fuck you, I already knew you were trash. Mr. Ha, really…!”

Seo Jang-hwa, who hit the man on the head several more times, seemed to not have calmed down even after that, took a deep breath, wiped his face, then raised his head again, looked at the doctor, and said.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. “I’ll make you shut up from now on.”

“…your friend crossed the line. “We will apologize on your behalf.”

As Seo Jang-hwa and Vivian bowed their heads to them, the atmosphere became solemn for a moment.

‘I’m sure there are people who were tempted by my words.’

Actually, I’m not sure if it’s right now or not.

Thinking like that, Song In-myeong glared at Seo Jang-hwa, who was still pulling out his hair. As if he hadn’t let go of his anger yet, he pressed his head and told him to apologize as well, but Song In-myeong, who had roughly expected this kind of response, bowed in a crooked manner.

No one would look sorry.

“Yeah whatever. “I am sorry.”

“Ahh…! “Fuck you, really!”

“Oh what? “I didn’t even bring it up first, did I?”

Then, I rolled my eyes and looked at Jaeheon Lee. I was very curious about how he would react when the situation progressed to this level.

“….”

“….”

Wow, fuck.

He was perplexed.

‘…You don’t understand what’s going on right now, do you?’

To be exact, his face showed that he didn’t understand why his group was protecting him right now. Even to Song In-myeong, it was funny to see a man who was over 40 years old being protected by guys younger than him.

However, Song In-myeong understood why they behaved like that. It seems like it has become quite precious. How can anyone feel at ease when such a person acts as if he cannot die? He also didn’t know if his friends would act like that and he would explode and die out of frustration.

So, it meant that Lee Jae-heon had common sense worse than that murderer.

“…yes.”

I never thought I would say this.

That guy is truly crazy.
