Theatrical Regression Life

Chapter 130

Episode 130

Regardless of personal likes and dislikes, it was nice to be able to collect rich sugar.

“Hey, I don’t have to stop by the lake for a while.”

“Are you saying I should starve to death?”

“You’re a picky eater, so fix that. “You need to know how to enjoy various flavors.”

Of course, it was impossible to know how nutrients were absorbed into the human body in this world. But basically, sugar gives strength to the brain and even has the effect of improving mood. Since there was water, it actually seemed like it would be doable to just try to survive in the pavilion.

Lee Jae-heon looked at Jeong In-ho, who had his head down and covered his eyes with one hand, with a shocked expression on his face.

“Do you hate it that much?”

“…Not all people in the world like sweet things, Manager…”

“Oh, right… I see…”

You never said that in the novel.

Unlike the original story, he probably complained because he had relatively more mental and physical freedom, but the main character, who was not present with Lee Jae-heon, was just busy picking up and eating everything. In fact, I don’t know how I felt in detail because they didn’t even give an accurate description of the eating process.

‘Still, I didn’t know you would hate it so much.’

In fact, there was no way Jaeheon Lee knew his appetite, whether in his past life or in his current life. The novels of his previous life did not describe him as much, and Lee Jae-heon of his current life was not interested in his subordinates. In fact, there was a part of me that just didn’t want to pay attention to Assistant Manager Jeong In-ho. Why bother paying such attention to this ugly guy?

‘Sometimes, the drinks that one person buys at the same time are always unified as Americano.’

Of course, I had no intention of seeing it that way.

“Open your mouth, you disgusting bastard.”

“I’ll eat it later…!” “I can eat it myself!”

“Jang Seo-ah, why are you such a picky eater that even children don’t?”

“Even adults can be picky eaters!”

“You didn’t even know this was a waste of food, huh?”

In the end, Jeong In-ho was able to be released only after Ha Seong-yoon grabbed him from behind and Lee Jae-heon stuffed him into his mouth from the front.

If he had been extremely traumatized by sweet foods, Lee Jae-heon would not have been so rude, but since he was a simple picky eater with no real meaning, he came out strongly.

“Keuuuu….”

“Huh, really.”

Lee Jae-heon was able to recall the way his children in his previous life scrunched up their faces when they saw paprika, looking at Jeong In-ho and no one else. That was picky eating in the purest sense.

Jeong In-ho muttered with his mouth covered with a pale, tired face.

“My tongue hurts.”

“Mr. Lee In-ho… would you like some water?”

“You didn’t even stop those people, and now they’re here…”

Even though he muttered like that, he didn’t refuse Kang Min-ah’s favor.

Coworker Kang Min-ah and intern Noh Yeon-seok looked quite restless, with frowns on their faces that seemed to have disappeared from where their usual annoyingly sincere smiles had disappeared. In fact, it seemed like Noh Yeon-seok followed the girl.

‘The atmosphere here is also good these days.’

Perhaps because of the environment, Kang Min-ah, who had blindly blocked the opponent by saying she was a college student, seemed to be gradually breaking down her iron wall. Rather than saying they really cared about it, it felt like they put him in the cutoff line because they thought, “Yes, he’s a grown adult.” There is a long way to go.

However, as if that was good enough, Lee Jae-heon unconsciously looked towards Ha Seong-yoon and Yoon Gar-ram when he saw Noh Yeon-seok hovering around Kang Min-ah in a casual way these days.

“You know? “If you feel short of breath or dizzy, you must tell me right away.”

“Yes, I remember. But it’s because it’s really okay, so don’t worry too much…” “

Because the boss is always smiling. “I’m always worried.”

hmm.

“….”

It was definitely too dry for a romance.

But that didn’t mean it was plain. Except for the fact that they did not see each other as opposite sexes, Yoon Garam was extremely considerate to Dr. Ha Seongyoon.

Jaeheon Lee was able to read the longing and obsession filled in those eyes.

‘No matter how much he was the one who saved me from trauma… it was too much.’

I think there’s more to it.

Ha Seong-yoon’s past was never described in detail in the work, and at least his existence could be read in Yoon Gar-ram’s memories. Nevertheless, I did not understand why Yoon Garam treated Ha Seongyoon so well.

Of course, that didn’t mean it was very important to Lee Jae-heon.

“Man, doesn’t this look like marzipan?”

“Marzipan… you mean marzipan, right? “Yes, it’s similar.”

“Wow, the pronunciation is good. “You’re good at English.”

“If you judge your brain by your pronunciation, you won’t be able to use it….”

He thought of President Garam Yoon, who was responding appropriately to the words of Dayoung Park, who was approaching her as if looking for a nest, but at the same time just smiling softly.

‘I think I’ve awakened.’

In fact, it’s funny to express it with the word ‘awakening’, and the process was so quiet that I didn’t even know if it was being done properly, but based on a rough guess, it seemed like Garam Yoon was probably facing his own trauma.

There are two strange things she shows.

There is a high probability that surrounding plants will burn and everything except Yoon Garam will burn to death.

“Still… drink water while eating. “It’s too sweet.”

“Earlier, you acted like you were going to kill Jeong In-ho if he didn’t eat it.”

“That’s because he doesn’t know his age and is a picky eater. “How gross is a grown man?”

And this is the place where her trauma is most deeply buried.

‘It’s a city park.’

Garam Yoon opened a flower shop because he felt pleasure in his trauma.

When he could not be satisfied with those flowers alone, he went to the park in front of the flower shop. It can be said that the flower shop and this park were the places where Yoon Garam’s mental abnormalities were fully expressed.

‘I don’t know if I can go back into the flower shop, so the only thing that’s dangerous right now is this park.’

In fact, it cannot be said that among the monsters they encountered, there was not one born from Yoon Garam’s trauma. Yoon Garam, who had such an odd constitution, was unique among the survivors.

He decided that the tree roots that connected the flower shop and the park would be in the same vein.

“…Dayoung.”

“yes yes.”

Lee Jae-heon, who gave Park Da-young, who was overly pleased with her call, a strange look, tapped the corner of his mouth with a fruit resembling a light bulb and continued speaking.

“Have you seen anything strange before entering the park?”

“…something strange? A monster or something? No, I didn’t encounter any monsters.”

“Yeah, that’s a good thing.”

“…Hmph.”

For some reason, Dayoung Park seemed to be in a better mood, but she decided to ignore it.

‘There’s no way that quick-witted guys like them wouldn’t have noticed something as strange as a tree root popping out.’

Strange change.

The protagonist saw this and called it ‘anomaly.’ This is a phenomenon in which the environment of the other world changes or monsters appear depending on the mental strength of the individual survivor. When I think about it now, he was also a protagonist who really liked giving names.

And if the main character gives it a name, it means that it appears often. President Garam Yoon was the crazy guy who was the first to cause trouble among the protagonist’s group.

But that strange thing didn’t happen.

‘As expected, there was a big difference between Ha Seong-yoon being alive and not…’

He is someone I like and rely on as much as I do. In the story, Yoon Ga-ram said, ‘It felt as if I had killed that person,’ and Lee Jae-heon thought that was true to some extent. Perhaps she realized that she instinctively wanted Ha Seong-yoon to die for her own peripheral pleasure.

However, unlike the original story, the doctor lived and Yoon Garam’s mentality was relatively intact. It was understandable that my awakening was late, as I couldn’t have easily faced the constitution that I thought was a flaw. But….

“….”

“You’re not going to eat that? “The doctor said you need to eat a lot.”

“…Nagging from everywhere….”

Lee Jae-heon frowned as he put the fruit in his mouth.

‘The only problem is what exactly the tree roots were trying to reveal.’

How much influence did Garam Yoon have on this park?

“…Oh, by the way.”

Dayoung Park opened her mouth with the word ‘Chuck’ that naturally came to mind.

“It’s a story about when I broke up with my uncle and climbed up a tree with Min-ah and waited.”

“Why are you talking about your younger brother?”

“It’s because Park Da-hoon is one with me.”

Park Da-young, who opened the introduction with a joke, secretly looked at Lee Jae-heon. At the same time, they exchanged glances with Park Da-hoon, who was on one side of the pavilion, and soon their gazes landed on Dr. Ha Seong-yoon, and then quickly separated.

Jaeheon Lee was carefully observing their small movements.

“….”

“Park Da-hoon said he saw a child and an adult.”

“Children and adults.”

“The doctor I met later said he only saw the child.”

“Huh…”

“That dead kid you saw… was it the kid you saw back then?”

In response to Park Da-young’s question, Lee Jae-heon rolled his eyes a few times and blinked once before spitting out the answer.

“…well.”

“….”

“Maybe not.”

His eyes glanced at Song In-myeong, then quickly fell and quietly took a bite of the fruit he was holding.

Lee Jae-heon, who was chewing a piece of fruit in his mouth, soon muttered softly.

“…The texture is really strange.”

“why? “Isn’t it nice to be soft?”

“It feels a bit like eating clay.”

He looked at the translucent fruit he had bitten into with a frown.

Real marzipan wouldn’t be this sweet, but the texture was similar, so it really felt like I was eating clay made from sugar. How does it do this when it looks like a glass bead or a light bulb?

However, if we were to compare it that way, we would have to start with the glass apple and go through all the living and non-living things in the other world, so Jaeheon Lee quietly put the fruit in his mouth.

“I tend to eat sweets a lot, but… they’re really overly sweet. I understand what Assistant Manager Jeong said about having a bad tongue. “I’m sorry.”

“You don’t really look sorry.”

“This is the adult world, chicks. “When will all the students come together?”

“I don’t want to…”

“Either way.”

As expected, his eyes landed on Detective Hong Gyeong-jun, who covered his mouth with a frown on his face.

“It’s still too early for you to become adults.”

You’re an adult and you had a fight with the main character.

‘I don’t know if the original story is being ruined just because I intervened.’

Aside from the child’s corpse, the atmosphere of the survivors gathered here was too bright.

In particular, the coercive and obsessive side shown by the detective in the story is barely revealed. Normally, I should have been obsessive like a crazy person, observing every single action of the survivors.

Moreover, in the novel, college students who acted separately from the detectives joined in. I didn’t know what had changed that made those strong independent students join Hong Gyeong-jun’s team.

“…mister.”

“huh?”

“I think we like you as expected.”

“….”

Why is he like this again?

“…You really shouldn’t die…you know?”

Even after saying that, Park Da-young didn’t seem to think that she would get an answer, so she got up and looked for her younger brother, Park Da-hoon. Thanks to this, the only person left dumbfounded was Lee Jae-heon, who was left standing in a circle.

He muttered out of habit.

‘It’s hard to make a living.’

I’m going to die. How are those chicks mentally?

Actually, at this point, I just wanted to die once and have time to reorganize, not because of my plan, but out of selfish interest. I knew that mental strength was important in the other world, but experiencing the abyss myself with this wretched body gave me another pain.

What should I say? I feel a lot of regret after solving all the time-limited test questions, but since it was a mock test that I took on my own anyway, I feel like I have plenty of opportunities to solve it again. With that opportunity right in front of me, I felt like I just wanted to get away with it.

The reason he didn’t commit suicide right away was because the protagonist remembered the time before his return.

‘We need to prepare a situation so that bastard can come from as far away as possible.’

That’s why I was planning on going out with the killer and searching, but now I see that those chicks are also a problem. Anyway, worrying about someone’s life because I’m afraid they might be a minor…

“….”

Oh, wait a minute.

“…What’s going on, Manager?”

“…I just saw it.”

Do you think those bastards will be unable to recover if I die?

really?

“okay.”

“….”

At that moment, Jaeheon Lee was at a loss for words. Rather than just guessing, I can say without a doubt that these chicks were large in size.

I’ll be amazed.

* * *

Around dawn when people were asleep.

“Boss.”

“….”

“I know you’re not sleeping.”

The main character called Lee Jae-heon.

He was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, but when he saw Jeong In-ho looking at him with a sincere smile, he frowned. I thought I heard a rustling sound, and besides him, Ha Seong-yoon and Kang Min-ah were awake.

Anyone can see that this is the result of the main character’s planning and preparation.

“…Huh.”

My head hurt.

For some reason, you obediently said you were on guard duty, you disgusting bastard.
