Theatrical Regression Life

Chapter 151

Episode 151

I laid out as much necessary information as I could, as if it were memories from my childhood, but that wasn’t the end of it. In fact, it was a story about why ‘Lee Jae-heon’ grew up to be such an adult.

‘Besides, he didn’t actually tell me why he acted like an old man.’

Honestly, I don’t want to say that even now.

It was not because of Lee Jae-heon’s personal feelings, but because in order to say that, it was necessary to talk about the structure of the behind-the-scenes world for a long time. Since the green algae monster had to be killed immediately, it was not the right direction to inject too much unnecessary information.

‘But other people probably have a lot of questions.’

It was true that the information he released was not much.

“Chief, would you like to sleep a little longer…?”

“I can’t really sleep.”

Nevertheless, the fact that they did not immediately try to resolve the question meant that they were very considerate of ‘Lee Jae-heon’. In any case, it was too heartless to drag someone who had just revealed such an incredible past and ask them about this and that.

He shook his head shallowly at Kang Min-ah’s recommendation and sat down, leaning against a tree far away from the bonfire. Regardless of whether he confessed his past or not, the fact that ‘Lee Jae-heon’ is ultimately a threat to others remains the same.

‘I had doubts until just before, but I heard about future events from Jeong In-ho. ‘It’s right that we change our behavior regarding distance.’

Until just yesterday, I could at least talk to the group or get close to them, but that was all because ‘Lee Jae-heon’ was not in a good condition. Even if his physical condition was this bad and he lost his temper in the worst case, he thought that either Jeong In-ho or Ha Seong-yoon would kill him.

But now I heard a story about the future from Jeong In-ho. It was clearly a story that did not highlight the dangers of ‘Jae-Heon Lee’, but just hearing about it made ‘Jae-Heon Lee’ feel a sense of crisis.

‘That’s why I brought up the story that I was infected by the green algae monster.’

That was the reason why he revealed his past history and made it known how dangerous he was. He once again felt the need to distance himself from these helpless people.

“…Um….”

“….”

“Mister.”

Nevertheless, I felt comfortable keeping the distance because I knew someone would talk to me.

Lee Jae-heon blinked as he saw student Park Da-young sneakily approaching him.

“…what.”

“Can I sit next to you?”

“no.”

“Yiing.”

Park Da-young held her long curly hair with both hands and made a sullen expression, but it was such a playful reaction that ‘Lee Jae-heon’ shook his head. I don’t think anyone would be a fool to let a vulnerable minor sit next to a monster that might kill someone at any moment.

“You can’t use it. “Go over there and play with Chief Kang.”

“…Eeeing…?”

“How old are you when you say ‘Eeeing’ at that age? “I’m not 19.”

“Dayoung is 9 years old.”

“Then no more, go away.”

He, too, seemed to have realized that it was a pointless act of cuteness, but he secretly averted his gaze, but even so, his shameless face did not change. It was absurd for Lee Jae-heon to stubbornly stick to a topic he couldn’t even make eye contact with.

As we stared at each other intently, student Dayoung Park finally burst out in words as if she were committing suicide.

“…what! why! I’m so lonely now that my other half is gone…! Please stay with me!”

“You just make your other half work as a servant? “You’re making me laugh. Where is the other half between siblings?”

“Oh I don’t know, I’ll be here! “If you kick me out, I’ll whine every three minutes!”

“Huh, where is this fluffy guy in front of all these old adults…!”

“No one will be fooled by that now, mister!”

In fact, the part I meant to say, ‘How can you raise your voice in front of an adult?’ was sincere. Since Lee Jae-heon’s old-fashioned mentality still persists, he was greatly hurt by the current reality of his true feelings being treated as lies every time.

‘It’s so out of this world.’

Of course, he couldn’t reveal his true feelings like that, so ‘Lee Jae-heon’ showed a tired expression, as if he was getting discouraged and giving up. There was no immediate incident that would shake me mentally, and with Kang Min-ah and Noh Yeon-seok nearby, I felt even more confident that something would work out.

Student Park Da-young, who sensed those thoughts like a ghost, quietly came to his side.

“…Uncle, it hurts.”

“It doesn’t hurt.”

“I know that’s a lie too.”

They say I’m lying whenever I do anything.

There was a soft hitting, but Jaeheon Lee was just counting the dust floating in the air. Of course, I was wondering what the dust was talking about in the other world, but I was just half-ashamed. I felt like I was getting to the point soon, but I didn’t know why it was dragging on so much.

“You know, the first time… when he disappeared. So when we meet again.”

“okay.”

“Do you remember when he collapsed?”

“Okay… no, wait a minute. “I didn’t collapse.”

“Then faint?”

“I just slept for a bit.”

At those words, Park Da-young, Kang Min-ah, Noh Yeon-seok, and Kwon Yeon-hee looked at Lee Jae-heon.

In the end, he had no choice but to add.

“…I was very tired, though.”

“I see….”

“It’s true. Fainting means losing consciousness, but I just sleep whenever I want, right?”

Park Da-young, who hesitated for a moment, exhaled and made eye contact.

“…A person who wakes up like that vomits blood?”

“….”

Ah, now we’re getting to the point.

‘Still, I guess it’s because I’m a chick with some sense, so it took less time than I thought.’

If Noh Yeon-seok or Kang Min-ah had tried to speak up, it would have taken quite some time. Among the adults, Kwon Yeon-hee is probably better. Even then, like in the last episode, there was no dramatic incident like ‘he left Lee Jae-heon and ran away’, so he wouldn’t have tried to cross the line right away.

He nodded inwardly, thinking that it was not for nothing that the survival rate of these young siblings was high. In fact, if he approached me immediately after hearing such a lengthy history of the past, I would have to say that he had outstanding action skills.

“…It wasn’t that serious of a problem.”

This time, Park Da-young avoided looking at Lee Jae-heon. It was a natural avoidance that was barely noticeable, but it couldn’t fool the eyes of a person who had survived with just one glance. She must have sensed Lee Jae-heon’s desire to end the conversation.

But even so, he did not back down.

“That green algae monster… that. “I told you it was dangerous because of that.”

“It’s dangerous. “It’s still dangerous. I know when I will kill you.”

“I’m not going to kill you.”

Park Da-young and Park Da-hoon have always wanted Lee Jae-heon to confirm their trust and affection, and it is not much different now. She was boldly approaching Lee Jae-heon in this way and measuring how far he would allow her.

Also, Jaeheon Lee knew how to make amazing use of other people’s psychology.

“That’s not how it works.”

He spoke as if he was scolding an immature student, and this must have broken the cool of Park Da-young, a student who had been oppressed by those ‘adults’.

As Jae-Heon Lee expected, Da-Young Park got to the point faster than the plan she had previously thought of.

“Anyway… the mind is trying not to kill us.”

“I don’t know what I want to ask.”

“I don’t want to ask, I just want to get confirmation.”

“Isn’t that what it is?”

“It’ll be a little different.”

a 19-year-old student asked.

“You just have to tell me one thing, mister.”

“….”

“You won’t abandon us?”

At those words, Jaeheon Lee closed his mouth without realizing it.

‘…I don’t know who is asking who.’

In the first place, there was nothing that Jaeheon Lee could throw away. In any case, he decided to join the main character in order to make his life rich and famous, and the main character had to drag those who he considered his colleagues with him.

Actually, that’s right. Of course, I have now acknowledged it to some extent, but Lee Jae-heon also liked these people. If I had to kill them now, I would think about it about 300 times and then find another way. He learned that these comforts had an effect on his mental strength.

So Jaeheon Lee couldn’t abandon them, and they could abandon him as much as they wanted. It seemed like he was quite attached to himself now, but you never knew how people would change if things went wrong.

I returned it with all my feelings intact.

“Who throws away whom?”

“…It’s true.”

“Say something that makes sense, student Park Da-young.”

Just as Lee Jae-heon did not see these people as people, to them, ‘Lee Jae-heon’ was an insignificant third-rate villain. Aren’t they going this far to try to erase the traces right now?

“I can’t leave you all.”

No matter what you think of me.

“…To be honest, that makes me feel good.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“So can I just say something…?”

“don’t do it.”

“Can’t we just keep our distance?”

“I told you not to do it.”

The embarrassment I was feeling was half fake, and my face was distorted to show half fake fatigue. The reason ‘Lee Jae-heon’ told them about his situation related to the green algae monster was because he wanted them to avoid him on their own, not because he wanted them to approach him like a bulldozer knowingly.

But perhaps naturally. The more this happened, the more desperate the young chick, who always wanted to be loved, became.

“They said they don’t like us.”

“That’s different.”

“You said you wouldn’t abandon us….”

“Didn’t I say we were separate?”

“That’s not a separate issue, sir.”

And Jaeheon Lee was hoping that this friend would say something like this.

‘Because it has become necessary to narrow this distance to a probability level.’

He eventually made eye contact with Park Da-young again and continued his thoughts.

It is said that he had a long conversation with Jeong In-ho, but all that Jae-heon Lee felt during the conversation with him was, ‘Okay, if I don’t die, it will be okay.’ However, what Jeong In-ho and the rest of the party want is not for Lee Jae-heon to live in a state where he will never die. I would like to form a more proper team.

Of course, Jaeheon Lee’s thoughts were not much different.

“…Do I need to explain again that I am in danger?”

“We speak straight. It’s not that you’re dangerous to us, it’s just that you’re in danger. “Isn’t that right?”

“My condition is stable, student Dayoung Park. When I come to my senses, the first thing I have to avoid is you. “You are sitting next to a time bomb.”

I’ve been trying to distance myself for various reasons, including pride and prejudice, but it’s not working. They were the only ones who could give Lee Jae-heon what he wanted, so he had to do everything to cling to them as much as possible.

‘But changing my attitude right away was a risk.’

The victim, Jaeheon Lee, needed a reason to forfeit his life and remain with them even though he knew the danger he was in. In other words, we need an opportunity to change our own thoughts so that these people think that the existence of ‘Lee Jae-heon’ is necessary.

And fortunately for him, there was only one person who approached Lee Jae-heon, who was very sensitive and distant, without hesitation.

“…You’re not really a bomb…”

Park Da-young.

“I think I get mistaken sometimes, but you’re not a tool or a monster, you’re a person…” “

….”

“If we do this, what on earth will we become?”

In that ‘us’, no one exists except my brother and Lee Jae-heon.

Selfish and disgusting chicks.

“What happens to us who trust us and feel at ease?”

Among these siblings, Lee Jae-heon believed in Park Da-young’s ability to talk and act proactively. There was no way they could get away with the fact that ‘Lee Jae-heon’, who was a pretty good protector to them, had turned into a half-monster.

‘This is a fact confirmed in the last episode.’

He is a fool who even puts his hands in thorn bushes because he needs reassurance that he is loved. That’s why he is much more intelligent than Park Da-hoon and also has a bold attitude. I expected that the clever Park Da-young would approach me rather than the current Kwon Yeon-hee, who tries not to cross the ‘line’, which is an essential virtue of a member of society.

At this point, he slightly revealed his embarrassment, as if he was trying hard to hide it. ‘Lee Jae-heon’ had never thought that this little student who was doing well would feel anxious in that way.

“…That…”

“I don’t ask for much. If you feel like it’s getting a little dangerous, you can just tell me. “We’re already building a wall… isn’t there a need for that?”

“….”

“You might think it’s not you, but we feel abandoned.”

Well, I thought it would be like that.

‘If not, I wouldn’t have done something stupid like that in the last episode.’

That is, he cut himself by putting his hand into a thorn bush.

Just before eating the fruit from the previous episode, ‘Lee Jae-heon’ was literally in tatters. Because his judgment was impaired, he did not pay much attention even when his relationships with other members of the group and his siblings grew closer. It was because I had a strong feeling that I would die soon.

But now, unlike last time, the party had heard about Lee Jae-heon’s past history and condition early, so they had enough time, and despite this, ‘Lee Jae-heon’ was keeping his distance. That was the whole reason why Park Da-young, who was nervous, approached him urgently without even paying attention to the other party members.

And Lee Jae-heon needed this excuse.

“…We won’t abandon you.”

“….”

“Tell me so.”

In this case, ‘Jae-heon Lee’ would have no choice but to perceive this in the same context as In-ho Jung’s request. There is no way that ‘Jae-heon Lee’, who cares for minors in his own way, could refuse this request.

He eventually had to nod.

“…okay.”

And all of these changes were brought about by the return of the main character, Jeong In-ho.

‘You should tell me that.’

I don’t know how much you can trust me.
