Theatrical Regression Life

Chapter 415

Episode 415

If you were to ask Jeong In-ho whether he believed Lee Jae-heon after seeing him, he would have a lot to say.

Lee Jae-heon is a crazy person who acts like a normal person, so Jung In-ho’s common sense did not apply.

When he thought he was going to act normally, he did something crazy, and when he was worried that he might do something crazy, he became an intelligent person who could communicate. It would have been easier to judge if it had been completely normal or completely crazy.

When Lee Jae-heon was asked, ‘Do you believe it?’, he became completely distraught.

“….”

Do I trust that person?

‘I? Jaeheon Lee? sincerely…?’

I keep thinking about it, but there was a lot I wanted to say.

“…Do you believe it? What do you mean specifically?”

“Do you think you have the heart to listen to me?”

“It’s not like that…”

I just wanted to set proper standards.

“It’s because I don’t understand.”

I didn’t understand why Lee Jae-heon’s family was waiting in the dark on the way home from work, I didn’t understand what this family violence criminal was thinking when he was flirting with Jeong In-ho, and crucially, I didn’t understand what he was asking about whether he trusted Lee Jae-heon.

Jeong In-ho, who was confused about the current situation, needed clearer standards.

‘For example, whether I believe in Lee Jae-heon’s ability, whether I believe in Lee Jae-heon’s personality, or whether I believe he will be of benefit to me… If I determine these things properly, I will have something to answer as well.’

Since the subject was Lee Jae-heon, who was already very upset, and the subject was his family, I felt like I wanted to talk more.

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

But once I was speechless, I couldn’t speak again. In real life, Jeong In-ho, who always boasted of his best condition and calm rationality, stuttered uncharacteristically.

“So… what you’re saying is…”

“Oh my. “You seem confused.”

“…That’s right….”

Shut the fuck up and wait until I get my thoughts together, you bastard.

‘Damn you bastard… These two brothers are making me explode.’

I didn’t like it at first impression and I also had a grudge against Lee Jae-heon, so my thoughts didn’t go well. It was best to just manage my facial expressions because I didn’t know if it would be a problem for me or Lee Jae-heon if I showed it openly.

What did he think of Jeong In-ho’s reaction? The other person opened his mouth.

“Was what I said that difficult to understand? What is it? This can be happen.”

“….”

“How do you know if Lee Jae-heon is a person you can trust? I don’t know what’s been going on between you two and how you’re doing lately, but you’ll have to use your best judgment. “That might have been a mistake.”

“…?”

“What makes you think that Lee Jae-heon would have been good to Jeong In-ho and others? huh? Have you ever thought that there might be something else going on?”

If you are a saint who can kill and feed baby birds by cutting off your own limbs, shouldn’t you do that even if you have other intentions?

‘…In short, I guess I’m asking whether Lee Jae-heon seems like a good enough person that I can rely on him.’

This made it easy to answer. Jaeheon Lee may not be nice, but he was a good person.

Otherwise, there was no way he would have tried to accommodate others, even with his twisted common sense, and there was no way he would have shed his own blood to comfort and protect the survivors, who were strangers. Lee Jae-heon was a good person who was close to the extreme in terms of degree. His unique spirit of sacrifice was proof of this.

The old bastard in front of me doesn’t know that.

“….”

Returning to the beginning, Jeong In-ho became confused.

‘…So what on earth are you going to do with me? What kind of situation is this?’

The question, ‘By what standard do we trust Lee Jae-heon?’ had just been resolved. Why was a person who appeared to be Lee Jae-heon’s older brother waiting in such a secluded place? It was still unclear to anyone who saw this group’s point of view as being a nonsensical tampering with Jeong In-ho, who seemed infinitely similar.

Jeong In-ho decided to keep his mouth shut and listen to what the other person said.

‘Let’s calm down. Even English passages that you didn’t understand at first can be interpreted automatically if you listen with a calm mind. I need peace of mind and more information.’

And the other person licked his tongue even more passionately, as if he had been waiting.

“I heard that in the past, you two acted like you were going to eat each other like that? Actually, our Jaeheon is a bit of a nerd. “Even as an assistant manager, there would be nothing he couldn’t catch if he was as deceitful as Jeong In-ho.”

Those words reminded me of a past that now feels like a long time ago.

‘There was a time like that.’

Something feels vague because it doesn’t fit the situation.

Those were the days when, not knowing Lee Jae-heon’s true self, they despised him, calling him a pathetic person, and secretly argued with him about everything. In fact, when I think back to that time, Jeong In-ho still often wears a blanket. It wasn’t really cold, but I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Lee Jae-heon wondered how ridiculous it must have been for me to be like that.

“But recently, I heard that such tensions have decreased and Manager Lee Jae-heon has become more likely to drag Jeong In-ho up to the rooftop… Is it safe to say that there has been some kind of improvement in the relationship?”

“…I’m talking about improving relationships, and it’s not like children are fighting.”

“Seeing as you’re not denying it, I guess there’s nothing wrong with it. yes?”

It was true that it wasn’t wrong.

‘Because there really was an improvement in relationships.’

In the other side of the world.

Jeong In-ho felt faint once again.

It reminded me of the past, when it was only in the park that this shitty manager acknowledged that he had been toying with us. What a bastard. Even though there was a good reason, the bitterness of In-ho Jeong, who had been consistently throwing drop kicks into the air, did not easily go away.

“Because I realized that I… had misunderstood something about him.”

“You’re mistaken. “Is this some kind of misunderstanding?”

“…Director Jaeheon Lee is a good person.”

He was a nice guy, although he was a bit of a slob. It is a good dog that makes people around the people who can’t burn it and make it black. I guess I should seriously find a good teacher and get counseling sometime.

How the other person interpreted Jeong In-ho’s words became meaningful again.

“Do you really think he’s a good person? really?”

“….”

“…I found out that Assistant Manager Jeong is a person with a very clean private life.”

“Is it okay for me to say that I conducted a background investigation like this?”

Lee Jae-hyung chuckled at Jeong In-ho’s words. For some reason, that face reminded me of Lee Jae-heon and I got a little more annoyed.

“That’s not important now. Anyway, it’s too neat. However, looking at the family environment, it doesn’t seem like there is a need to manipulate information. “Literally, he lives as a diligent model student and goes on to become a Oh-seong assistant manager. If it is true that he has no backing, these guys are usually one of two things.”

“….”

“Either he is really sincere or he is extremely suspicious.”

The man who took out a cigarette sucked in the smoke once and then spit it out.

For some reason, Lee Jae-heon, who had not yet left the company, came to mind, but only for a moment. Although they looked quite similar on the outside, the more I thought about it, the more difficult it became to find Lee Jae-heon in the man in front of me. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that these people had nothing in common.

‘…I think I learned how to act like an old man by watching this person, so it’s not strange that they look quite similar, but the essence is very different. Everyone who really knows Lee Jae-heon will have the same sentiments as me.’

Just as I was thinking that, the man spoke again.

“And… the fact that even though I kept talking to him without any explanation before or after, he didn’t leave right away due to his temper and continued to listen to the story. Can we say that Mr. Jeong In-ho also had some remaining doubts about Lee Jae-heon?”

“….”

“Hmm, indeed. “I have eyes for people.”

It was getting more and more outrageous, but once the bullshit got to this point, it was just fun.

‘As it happens, it happens.’

Jeong In-ho thanked me for talking so hard.

He wisely kept his mouth shut and waited for the other person to say more. It felt like I was suddenly caught on my way home from work and watching an audience participation skit. It’s a shame that today is Friday. If it had been any other day, I would have laughed and cursed mercilessly and walked away.

“I don’t know if there was some kind of conflict between the two and something happened that led to their improved relationship, and now there are even signs of forming a secret line… Anyway, Jung In-ho says Lee Jae-heon is a good person, unlike before. Even as I thought about it, doubts remained. “Can I summarize it like this?”

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about either.”

“Hey, what should I say to Manager Lee Jae-heon? Anyway, I have a lot to worry about. Or should I say cautious? “I have no intention of putting the blame on Mr. Jeong In-ho, so I guess I can just say it openly.”

“Haha, I don’t know.”

This person was truly shocked as they did not know what he was saying.

Whether or not Jeong In-ho was upset, the other person continued speaking as a member of the Lee family, who did not take the slightest consideration out of his mother’s womb. I really didn’t want to see it….

“What I’m saying is, try to be a little more careful there. “I can’t find out exactly what happened with Lee Jae-heon… but at least I know that he’s not a good person.”

“….”

“Achacha, that’s right.”

He let out an exclamation in an exaggerated tone and continued speaking in an exemplary manner, as if drawn by a well-dressed man.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Jeong In-ho.”

A face that looked like something from a socio-economic page smiled and held out its hand.

I didn’t know what to do with this. Crazy people are said to be crazy because their range of behavior is unpredictable, and that was exactly the case.

“My name is Jaehyung Lee. “Jaeheon is the person who becomes my older brother.”

“…I think it’s better to speak informally like before.”

“…Ssueup, you’re really spoiled.”

Jaehyung Lee, the man who shook hands briefly as if he didn’t like it and then let go of Inho Jeong’s hand, shrugged his shoulders. From that action that reminded me of Lee Jae-heon, I could clearly feel that they were from the same family.

“Well, I guess that means I’ve given you that much tiring worry. Is it true that people get so angry and hate it when you try to tell them sensitive truths? Anyway, people these days are really… no, no. “I didn’t come here to talk about this.”

“….”

“In a word, it’s like this.”

Jaehyung Lee just snapped his fingers and continued speaking.

“Is Lee Jae-heon really a good person?”

“….”

“That guy was really a good person to begin with, but Jung In-ho didn’t recognize him, and now the misunderstanding has been miraculously resolved? He was an asshole from the beginning, but at some point, didn’t Jae-heon Lee covet something from In-ho Jeong and play a trick? “Aren’t you deceived by Assistant Manager Jeong’s excellent acting skills or dramatic situations?”

“…Haha….”

I wonder how many times I laughed today.

Jeong In-ho laughed slightly.

“You’re having a lot of fun.”

First of all, I understand that they are trying to create conflict between Lee Jae-heon and Jung In-ho.

“Do you really think it’s a joke?”

“…That…”

The problem was that I didn’t know the rest.

“…I’m not sure.”

I still had no idea what context led me to this situation.

‘Is this a masterpiece worth doing in the first place…?’

In this party, Lee Jae-heon was said to be a scoundrel or a nuisance. Regardless of whether you like it or not, is there a reason to put so much effort into Lee Jae-heon, who has nothing to do with it? The question is whether the person who is the older brother would personally drive the car and carry out modifications under the pretext of cautioning Jeong In-ho, a petty representative of a large company.

The other person grinned, wondering what Jung In-ho was thinking as he became expressionless due to the over-the-top absurdity.

“….”

“…I’m glad I seem to understand roughly.”

I didn’t understand from beginning to end. Could you explain it to me one more time?

‘Why did you think of coming to me and why did this story come out? No, just explain where the starting point of this situation was in accordance with the six-lower principle…’

Just as I was licking my lips in a strange sense of anxiety, as if I had been writing back the answer sheet for the college entrance exam, Lee Jae-heon came out from behind me.

“…older brother?”

“Oh my, Jaeheon!”

Lee Jae-hyung smiled brightly at his sour face that clearly showed the thought, ‘Why are you here?’ Unlike the one he showed to Jeong In-ho, it was a friendly reaction that only people in a deep relationship would give.

Jeong In-ho looked at the situation with a strange look.

‘I don’t think this bastard knows the situation properly and is acting manipulatively.’

There was a strong camaraderie built up in the underworld between Lee Jae-heon, Jeong In-ho, and the other survivors. Perhaps Lee Jae-hyung, who didn’t know that, was trying to trick Jung In-ho into causing some trouble, but the situation turned out like this, and it was just shocking and funny.

Lee Jae-heon, who seemed to have roughly grasped the situation, urged his brother.

“Why are you here?”

“Boy, you didn’t forget what we had for dinner tonight, right? “My brother personally came out to meet me at home so I could change my clothes before leaving.”

“I just need to drive the car…”

“When they say nice things, just get in. “This is the best I can take care of.”

“Huh…”

Lee Jae-heon, who let out a short lament, glanced at Jeong In-ho, who was standing quietly.

Jeong In-ho sensed something in that inorganic gaze.

“…Why is Assistant Manager Jeong here?”

“We talked for a moment.”

“What conversation?”

“Is our youngest doing well at work?”

“….”

When Lee Jae-heon stared at Lee Jae-hyung wordlessly with an expressionless face, he twitched his eyebrows, laughed, and tapped Lee Jae-heon on the back.

“Ah, I was just playing around a bit. “Did you become sensitive while I wasn’t seeing you?”

“…This is all because of someone….”

“Stop blabbering. It’s all thanks to someone that you can sit in the manager’s chair at a company with a reputation of five stars and just sit idle. The guy you were looking for this time is also….”

“Brother.”

“oh.”

Jaehyung Lee shrugged his shoulders. It was very heinous.

“I made a mistake.”

“….”

“You get in the car quickly, Mr. Jeong In-ho… okay, see you later.”

I don’t plan on seeing you again.

Before Jeong In-ho could answer, Lee Jae-hyung put Lee Jae-heon in the car and left the back road. The car, which could not even hear the sound of the engine, moved smoothly and soon disappeared. Jeong In-ho was the only one standing on the dark roadside, guarding the empty spot.

‘…I left without even saying hello.’

Since we ran into each other by chance, I thought he would have said, ‘Go back in,’ but Lee Jae-heon left without saying a word.

“….”

Just now, Lee Jae-hyung clearly said, ‘The guy you were looking for this time is also….’

I’m not sure exactly what context that came from, but at least I know it’s an important keyword. In-ho Jeong was able to find a familiar sense of discomfort in the inorganic gaze that was staring at him and Jae-hyung Lee.

“Ha…”

That clearly belonged to the actor.

It’s like when he started a non-existent war of nerves with Lee Jae-heon over Kwon Yeon-hee in order to deceive former team leader Woo Soo-young. It was just the same feeling of discomfort as back then. Jeong In-ho felt his backbone heating up as he got caught up in the skit without even knowing what was going on.

Acting? Why all of a sudden? So suddenly? What did you talk about with Jaehyung Lee? So what’s going on here?

“…no shit….”

There was really nothing that I understood… but in vulgar terms, Yama was spinning.

“What have you done again?”

You son of a bitch.

In the distance, Jeong In-ho gritted his teeth quietly.
