Theatrical Regression Life

Chapter 225

Episode 225

Lee Jae-heon’s body, recalling his past life, has clearly changed. Muscles that weren’t there before were created, physical strength increased, and eyesight and hearing improved, all of which were strengthened within the range of ‘not impossible by the standards of this world.’ I wondered if some of my physical abilities from my previous life had been transferred over.

There is something that Lee Jae-heon forgot for a moment.

‘I was resistant to drugs, damn it.’

Some of his introspection shifted as he recalled his past life, but basically, Manager Kkondae had a body that did not respond well to sleeping pills. That’s why he’s pretending to be asleep when he’s not even there.

‘Only the octopus tangtang was intact.’

And except for Tangtangi, all foods including Tteokbokki, Rabokki, Fish Cake Soup, Sundae, etc. contained sleeping pills. It’s a shame that I pretended to be asleep just because of the timing. I had a general idea when they asked me what I wanted to eat, but I felt bad. What on earth are you doing with this precious meal?

A giggling sound was heard from Lee Jae-heon, who was lying face down on the table.

“Hey, hey, look at his face. “Isn’t it really funny how your face only opens up when you’re sleeping?”

“Haha….”

“He has a harsh expression and only becomes gentle when he sleeps, and it’s been like this since long ago.”

?? ?? ??? ????.

“Mr. Ha… I laughed at everything I had to laugh about this year. “Now I have to smile more.”

“Would you like me to move it for you?”

“Move it carefully because it’s sensitive and wakes up easily.”

“Didn’t you take sleeping pills?”

“Have some patience. “Maybe it’s because I ate it often when I was young.”

“I guess you tend to have insomnia.”

“It’s not? “Did you just secretly feed him?”

“….”

Lee Jae-heon nodded inwardly at the unfamiliar, silent voice. So, don’t you think it’s ridiculous? Lee Jae-heon himself was even more dumbfounded and was on the verge of stumbling around. I remember secretly giving myself sleeping pills to prepare for a surprise event that wasn’t always funny, and my clothes exploded.

Lee Jae-hyung, who was smiling happily, started making excuses as if he had been nudged.

“…I fed the others too. “It wasn’t just me…”

“Is that so?”

“I heard there is nothing wrong with your body…! Why what why! What did I do! Do you know how loud this kid has been since he was young? uh? For us, it was just a last resort to regain our freedom of life!”

“I didn’t say anything, Director.”

“Then just shut your eyes!”

That bastard.

‘They say it’s not a company.’

Lee Jae-hyung was more flexible as an old man than Lee Jae-heon, but that was all just image management. Outside, where there was no need to pretend to be polite, his gangly side was clearly revealed. Maybe it’s because I drank a little alcohol and was in a bad mood.

‘…Still, he acts neatly in public places, but that guy named Secretary Jeong seems to be trustworthy.’

Jaeheon Lee tried not to react to someone lifting him. As I closed my eyes, my other senses naturally became more sensitive, but it felt like a centipede was crawling on my body and I wanted to squeeze it all out.

“Will he cry when he wakes up? Should I cry?”

“haha.”

“Actually, I don’t think I’ll cry. As soon as I wake up, I’ll be so angry. I’m going to be so angry that you’re playing such a dog prank again and I’m going to say blah blah. “It was like that last time too.”

“You said that last time too.”

“You keep singling out our secretary Jeong as if she isn’t you? Am I funny?”

“That can’t be right.”

Hmm.

Strangely, the conversation between himself and Manager Jeong came to mind, but he quickly erased it from his mind. Anyway, I have a better personality than that guy. As I was quietly cursing my mother’s second son, I felt his body being carefully placed in the back seat of the car.

“But this time, it’s not just a prank, so I need to scare him…”

“I’ve called the staff.”

“But don’t make it cry. It’s hard to even accept that kid’s natural personality. “How bad can you treat me if you even cry?”

“Then how much will you allow?”

“Uh…”

Lee Jae-hyung thought for a moment before answering.

“Fingernail?”

“All right.”

“Scars remain elsewhere. Please do it gently.”

“Keep that in mind.”

Lee Jae-heon thought while listening to the plot.

‘Fuck.’

It’s hard to make a living.

* * *

There is a group called ‘Lee Dang (??)’ that has created several affiliates focusing on the chemical business. It is a company that follows closely behind Ohsung, which is said to be the best company in the country. It is a large company that most people recognize just by saying its name as it is expanding its reach into various fields such as cutting-edge life sciences, batteries, cosmetics, beverages, and household goods.

Lee Jae-heon, so to speak, Manager Kkondae, was the daughter of the son of the chairman who built the company Lee Idang and the youngest son of the chairman at the time. To put it more unluckily, should I say he is a fourth-generation chaebol? However, most people around Jaeheon Lee were unaware of that fact. This means that he is a 4th generation chaebol with little presence.

Then why has it disappeared so much?

“The pottery is broken.”

“I guess I’ll have to buy it again.”

“I bought something at an auction. “I guess I can put it on display right now.”

“good idea.”

With parents who are not interested in anything other than the results their children show.

“I’m sorry, I should have kept an eye on my younger siblings…”

“Okay, go in without making a fuss.”

“Yes, have a good night. “I will take care of the kids.”

With my eldest sister, who never missed the right moment to appeal to herself.

“Hey, what do you know how to do?”

“Don’t say too much to the youngest.”

“It’s true. Do you know how much this pottery costs?”

“Jaehyung.”

“uh? “How much do you know?”

With the second older brother who harshly mistreated the youngest.

“Fuck, why are you fucking with me!”

It could be said that it was thanks to the combination of the stupid youngest member who never gave up.

The mother of these three siblings was a great woman who rose to the position of president by physically breaking the neck of her father, who had insisted that only his sons be candidates for president. Her father was the one who supported her without hesitation in all kinds of illegal activities so that she could rise to the position of president. The siblings, who grew up under two sociopaths, admired their parents.

And it was clever.

“Hey, what are you doing! You won’t open the door?! “I’m going to tell you guys!”

“Elele, tell me, Illumbo~”

“Oh, open the door! “Aaaah!”

They knew that the less competition they had, the more they could gain.

“Are you bullying the youngest again?”

“It’s not? It’s not? Does it make sense that you can’t even open that?”

“…It’s already time… My parents will wait. “Let’s go first.”

“Oh, it’s really so funny.”

When the second child, who usually showed light words and actions, played a ‘prank’ on Lee Jae-heon, the first child pretended not to notice or quietly ignored it even though he knew. Their parents did not necessarily reprimand their behavior. I thought that if I got left out of such a ‘prank’, it was inevitable because that was my limit.

The good news was that Lee Jae-heon’s sinews were thick enough not to be discouraged by the ‘prank’.

“Ah, why are you opening it now! There’s nothing to play with inside….”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Hey, I brought this as an apology. “Let’s do this together.”

“Wow, that’s good.”

It just seems stupid.

When viewed objectively, the behavior of the three siblings was not normal, and the parents were not unaware of that. They ‘educated’ the three siblings only at home until the children, who grew up only in the greenhouse and did not know how they were seen outside, were able to sufficiently objectify themselves.

Also, the eldest and second children admired their parents’ majesty and authority, and the younger they were, the more they tried to imitate those they admired. The two children added the ‘education’ shown by their parents to their ‘pranks’.

“ah! It hurts! Look, I’m bleeding!”

“This is all your education, huh? Do you want to do that outside too?”

“…Mr. Lee….”

Of course, the reality other than what appeared on the outside was none of the parents’ business.

It would have been better if just one person had felt the ethical problem, but even Lee Jae-heon, who was the least clever and became a victim, was lacking something. The vicious cycle between those who really thought there was no problem other than ‘what they see’ and the youngest who lacked the ability to objectify continued like that.

In the end, when the parents became completely disappointed in Lee Jae-heon and turned their backs on him.

“…Hey, did you memorize everything? “If you don’t know these things, people will ignore you.”

“Kids, should we have a snack? “I got tiramisu from my sisters.”

Only then did the eldest and second children begin to fix Lee Jae-heon’s ‘problem’. So that it doesn’t look strange to the general public. To show the harmony of our family. This was because they became convinced that their parents would not appoint Lee Jae-heon to the position of president.

“! This is delicious. Soybean powder on top…”

“…huhu, right? “It’s like it’s buried in injeolmi.”

“If it tastes good, you can eat mine.”

After deciding that Lee Jae-heon was completely harmless, they developed affection for their youngest brother, who pretended not to be and listened to them. Others would say it was not affection but a curse, but they sincerely thought so.

Even the victim, Lee Jae-heon.

“Do you know how to use this? Oh my, you idiot. “Look at what I’m doing.”

“I’m not scolding my younger brother like that, Jaehyung. Our youngest son doesn’t have to be too discouraged. know?”

“….”

Even though he was unaware, he instinctively felt that he was being left out, and although it was twisted, he was very happy with the affection I was giving him. Because of their pride, they did not express it openly, but there was no way that the eldest and second eldest children would not know that they would crawl at the slightest hint of disappointment.

And when Lee Jae-heon became a bad younger brother, they ‘educated’ the youngest brother.

“it hurts…! don’t do it!”

“Ah, my heart hurts so much, brother. “Why are you acting so stupid?”

“What did I do! “What happened!”

“Oh really. “You’re not listening.”

For the three siblings, ‘playfulness’ and ‘education’ followed similar paths, and their intensity gradually worsened. Even when Lee Jae-heon graduated from elementary school, he never thought that this family was strange. He simply learned how to relieve his stress on his employer.

The first time I felt strange was when I visited a friend’s house as a middle school student.

“Mom told me not to eat it all! “I heard that if you eat all that ice cream, you’ll get a stomach ache?”

“Oh, mom. “I have friends too…!”

“Oh my, I told you to save some food for me. What should I give Minji….”

It doesn’t hurt, does it?

“….”

Well, my family has a lot of money.

‘It might be a little different.’

Thinking like that, Jaeheon Lee naturally let go of the strangeness he felt at the time. There was a period of time spent living in the Lee family, and there were things I learned there, to change my perception with just that level of discomfort. It was already known that the families of royals and ordinary citizens were bound to be different.

And when I became a high school student, I felt strange again.

“I ruined my dad because of you, you fucking bastard!”

“…Uh….”

“What are you going to do? huh? The fucking person is asking! Why am I not even human? It’s so fucking disgusting that we look like we’re not even human! “What are you going to do with my dad, you bastards?”

“No, whatever. “I…”

“You killed my dad!”

It was a common story. The story is that one of the employees working at a factory under the control of a large company suffered a serious injury and was semi-forced to retire, but died because he did not receive proper compensation. However, it was not known to the world and was buried.

Lee Jae-heon, who thought he had spread the bad rumor simply because he was jealous of his wealth, was speechless when he saw his classmate crying and putting him down. This was especially true because Lee Jae-heon’s personality was good for affection, and his usual friendships were good in their own way.

I got hit in the face, my lip was burst and my nose was bleeding, but I didn’t feel it at all.

“Oh, I heard you got into a fight at school? “It’s a good thing.”

“Your parents were very worried, Jaeheon. From next time, just get it right, okay? “If you deal with them like this, they will think that something has happened to them and will try to steal your money like a mosquito.”

“Hey, come here. Let’s see how broken our ugly one is.”

“Oh my god… that must have hurt. Still, if you have a face like this, other friends will also support you. Anyone can see that he is a victim. “At this level, we can just push forward and claim that we are also victims.”

“There is a lot of anger at weak subjects. Isn’t this an anger management disorder? Was it that difficult to just get hit? Well, it’s funny that they just walk away even if they give you money.”

Nevertheless, Jaeheon Lee rationalized it.

‘…But it wasn’t my fault, it was that bastard’s fault.’

Everyone is saying that, so this is correct. Even if everyone pointed fingers at me and my family, it was all because they had no money. If you don’t have money, you can’t afford it, and if you can’t afford it, there’s nothing you can do, so you’re taking out your anger on Lee Jae-heon.

Feeling anxious, Lee Jae-heon held his breath and never looked back. The boy who seemed to have hit him more was transferred to another school on charges of committing school violence.

“….”

And when I became a college student.

“Ah Jaeheon. Our Jaeheon… Brother Lee told you to do things neatly. huh?”

“…What are these people?”

“I heard you have a friend at the university you are currently attending, that bully who beat you up and transferred to the school. He said he was unraveling a strange rumor. “That’s why I said I would go after it because it would be a pain in the ass.”

“however.”

“You were scared, huh? “I was scared, Jaeheon.”

At that moment, I was more scared of Lee Jae-hyung.

“Do I not know you?”

“…No, I…”

“I was afraid that strange rumors would spread again like last time and people would look at me like that. Don’t I know that you lack affection? Look how deep this brother’s friendship is. “I will let that bastard rat live as if it were dead.”

“…Brother, wait a minute. Uh… what is it? “What are these people brought here to do now?”

“It’s obvious.”

Jaehyung Lee laughed.

“People who will send those rat bastards to hell.”

“….”

“I’ll give you the contact information, so if you need it, Jaeheon, can you use it later? But tell your brother and write it down. got it?”

Lee Jae-heon muttered quietly, wondering what he was thinking at that time.

“Brother, that…”

“Oh?”

“…Still, it’s our fault when it comes to that bastard’s father… isn’t it…?”

“….”

“….”

That day, Jaeheon Lee was greatly scolded.

And at this point, I really didn’t think anything of it. Should I say that it feels like something that was blocked inside has disappeared. Well, because I have a lot of money. It’s natural that my family is a little different from those of beggars who don’t have money. It hurt my pride to have to be so embarrassed every time.

He also wanted to be like his older brother and older sister. He is confident, good at everything, and smart, so no one can mess with him. Like my brothers who resemble my parents more than anyone else….

“…Aisssi Gao Sangha.”

After that incident, Lee Jae-heon was treated as ‘a troublemaker who couldn’t do anything on his own’, and he got sick of it, so he ran out of the house, built up the qualifications he was given, and took the position of manager of Ohsung.

By that time, the old man in the 19-year-old impoverished survivor had already been completed.

“Are you going to be this stupid, Assistant Manager Jeong?”

With only the feelings about the events remaining and the memories fading, through almost perfect rationalization, they established their own existence by blaming others and came to believe that they were not bad.

Otherwise, Lee Jae-heon will become a being who should not live.

“Are you still not listening?”

* * *

The important point here is that Director Kkondae nevertheless had an aversion to murder. The entire Lee family knew that Lee Jae-heon belonged to the category of an ordinary person.

But what if that’s not the case?

“…Ah, brother.”

“….”

“I told you not to play pranks like this.”

Blood from the fingertips, where the fingernails are missing, flows down the already red-stained sword body. The drops of blood fell on the floor, which was already filled with water.

A very slightly embarrassed face.

“I really didn’t plan on doing this…”

His voice sounded a little tired.

“You called me here because I don’t need you, right? “It’s okay if it disappears, right?”

very little.

“…Jaeheon.”

Excited lips.

“I was surprised to see black things as soon as I woke up.”

“You…”

“This isn’t my fault, you know? I was just…surprised and couldn’t help but….”

“Where did you learn it?”

“….”

Lee Jae-hyung burst into laughter at the sight of Lee Jae-heon, who no one could tell was a murderer.

“I never told you this.”

“…So much.”

This is great for an image change.

is not it?
