Theatrical Regression Life

Chapter 462

Episode 462:

The child cried.

“Uh-uh….”

“I’m sorry.”

“Huh huh huh ah ah ….”

“There is no cotton.”

“Ehhhh…!”

“I will reflect on this.”

Lee Jae-heon lay quietly on the bed and apologized repeatedly.

At first, I tried to kneel down on the bed, but the child got into a fight. My ankle hadn’t recovered yet, and more than anything, I seemed to hate getting out of bed even more, so I laid down quietly.

It’s been like that for 30 minutes already. The child won’t stop crying.

President Choi Jeong-man said as if he was saddened by the empty expression of his repeated apologies.

“You’re kind of good at that….”

“I’m usually good at it.”

“Then you should have continued to do well. “Oh my gosh, look at that baby crying.”

“I was wrong.”

“This is not a machine that gives you an answer when you press something.”

Jang Seo-ah and Lee Yun-byeol were left alone in this spacious house. Therefore, Lee Jae-heon, who regained consciousness in the hospital, had asked for President Choi Jeong-man’s understanding in advance. I was wondering if you could stop by often.

Fortunately, President Choi Jeong-man immediately gave the OK sign. In addition to his younger sister and Choi Min-hong, he looked after Jang Seo-ah with Lee Yun-byeol while Lee Jae-heon was away. Now that the landlord has returned, my sister and Lee Yun-byeol have returned, and all that remains are Choi Jeong-man, the two children, and Ha Seong-yoon.

Ha Seong-yoon smiled his signature smile.

“I knew so.”

“I am reflecting.”

“Great attitude. If you feel uncomfortable lying down, you can raise your upper body. “There is a wound on my back, so it would not be good to be crushed while lying down.”

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!”

Jang Seo-ah cried harder at Ha Seong-yoon’s words, and Lee Jae-heon turned to Ha Seong-yoon. His face was full of betrayal, asking how you could do that to me.

“The baby is crying, right?”

“Who is it for now, sir?”

“It must be because of me. I know. “I reflect.”

Jaeheon Lee raised his upper body and patted the back of the small child who had snuggled into the bed.

“I’m sorry uncle. I did it wrong. “Do your eyes swell when you cry?”

“Hey….”

“I’m not kidding. But if you keep crying, your eyes will feel sore, right? huh…? “Would you like to see Mr. Seo-ya’s face?”

“Heung….”

“Oh my, it’s pretty. “Who is this pretty?”

President Choi Jeong-man’s eyes lit up at Lee Jae-heon’s dazzling soothing skills.

“The ability to soothe like a painting…!”

“I do something.”

Ha Seong-yoon laughed.

“Ugh.”

Then he left the room. It was clear that he had no intention of continuing to watch the skit between the two guardians raising the child. Jaeheon Lee nodded. Yes, please try to stop Choi Min-hong, who is making loud noises outside. What on earth were you doing when you heard that sound?

Lee Jae-heon gently stroked Jang Seo-ah’s cheek with his hand.

“You were very worried about me, my lady. “I’m sorry for making you worry so much.”

“Ugh….”

“No? What could it be? “Can I just tell you a little bit?”

“Mi kheung sorry no… don’t do that…”

“Ah shouldn’t you apologize?”

“You’re not bad….”

“Aha.”

Lee Jae-heon gently comforted Jang Seo-ah, who was giggling, and made her sit on his lap. The child clung to Lee Jae-heon’s stomach like a cicada, as if he had been waiting, and had no intention of falling off. It seemed like the crying had barely stopped, and then I heard the sound of ‘Huh…’ again.

President Choi Jeong-man was looking at this with a sad yet happy expression.

“Still, the baby can’t even cry when Lee Jae-heon isn’t around, but look at how he still cries when his dad is there.”

“Dad…”

“If you deny it now, the baby will cry more. “You know, right?”

“…Ugh….”

I couldn’t refute it because it was true.

“That makes sense.”

“I thought you would say that.”

President Choi Jeong-man smiled brightly.

“We are adults with big heads, so we can guess what’s going on with Jaeheon Lee, but we’re not kids. From Seo-ah’s perspective, one day her guardian suddenly got seriously injured and she was forced to separate from him for several days without being able to see her. Please pay more attention to her.”

“I’m going to do that….”

“Oh my, the baby is crying so hard. “My head would hurt like that. Oh my.”

President Choi Jeong-man, who was muttering regretfully, looked at Lee Jae-heon again.

“…and we were also very worried.”

“There is no shame.”

“There are bad guys out there, so there’s no need to apologize. “I heard you were scheduled to stay in the hospital longer, but you didn’t come out early because of us, right?”

“It can’t be. I was discharged a little early because I was in a situation where I could receive sufficient care at home. “Even if it wasn’t for this accident, I don’t usually like hospitals that much.”

“….”

President Choi Jeong-man nodded.

“…Well, it would be a bigger problem if I was taken to the underworld while I was in the hospital.”

Oh, I didn’t think of that.

“…Yes.”

“You must be tired. “I can’t feel at ease even in the hospital.”

In Lee Jae-heon’s past, he was taken to a secret world while he was in the hospital, so did you think he was showing his disapproval, or was there some other misunderstanding? Lee Jae-heon calmly responded to President Choi Jeong-man acting as if he felt sorry for him.

“Because I’m used to it. Mr. Ha Seong-yoon also escaped on his own. Would you say it was me? “You don’t need to take it that seriously.”

“I can’t help but wonder how you’re going to escape when your ankle is in that bad condition… but you’re still so kind. “Even after going through something like that, you worry about us first.”

“No, well….”

“You must be embarrassed.”

It looks like Kongkkak is working hard today too.

“So the teacher at that place called Eonhak High School was completely… that’s what happened?”

“I guess so.”

I couldn’t ask him directly because he had a child, but it seemed like he was asking, ‘Did Seong Dae-young die because of your modifications?’ As Lee Jae-heon nodded his head, President Choi Jeong-man’s expression changed very strangely.

“…I never thought much about this temple, but it was a really scary place. “It’s still an unfamiliar situation to me, who thought it was just one of the big companies.”

“My family tends to be like that. If you ever get involved with this party in the future, don’t hesitate and just get out of the way. Or sell me.”

“I’m not that loyal of a man, am I? “Who are you selling? A person who is already in tatters…”

“Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!”

“Oh, I’m sorry, okay? I said something wrong. right?”

President Choi Jeong-man, who perfectly understood Jang Seo-ah’s signal to say ‘don’t say that’, apologized. The child wrinkled her nose and shook her head up and down. President Choi Jeong-man patted Seo-ah’s head a couple of times, as if it was both pitiful and cute.

Afterwards, President Choi Jeong-man, who was talking about trivial things that would keep a child from crying, couldn’t bear the sound of his son running wild outside and got up from his seat.

“Ugh, I think Minhong is destroying Lee Jae-heon’s household, so I’m going to get up for a moment. It’s not even mine, so why destroy it like this? “I don’t think Ha Seong-yoon can handle it alone.”

“Take care.”

“It is Lee Jae-heon.”

When President Choi Jeong-man left, Lee Jae-heon gently stroked the head of Jang Seo-ah.

“What should our young lady do to stop crying?”

“Keuing….”

“I’m so, so sad. “Yes, I’m sad.”

Crying at this level is closer to complaining.

Lee Jae-heon tried to soothe the child by rubbing his soft cheeks. He was so tired from crying that he was just sniffling. The tears don’t come out anymore, but the ‘Eeeeee’ sound keeps coming out, so I guess I’m just heartbroken.

“I’m surprised you got hurt.”

“Huh…”

“It’s okay. If you rest like this, you’ll get better soon. “It didn’t even hurt.”

“…It doesn’t hurt. uh?”

“huh?”

“It didn’t hurt?”

Something as small as a pea is nothing to worry about.

“Then it didn’t hurt.”

“It’s a lie….”

“Why doesn’t anyone believe me?”

“It’s a lie….”

“I’m really fine, man.”

“It hurts…”

Lee Jae-heon, who had been thinking about those words, gently leaned his chin on the top of the child’s head.

“It hurt a little.”

“…yes.”

“And I was a little scared.”

“yes.”

“You don’t like water.”

“….”

“I don’t like being sick.”

Lee Jae-heon laughed at the sound of a snoring sound.

“But it’s okay because I like you more than that.”

“…Yeah…”

“I was really scared, can you comfort me?”

“huh.”

Jang Seo-ah, who stuttered and grabbed Lee Jae-heon’s collar, stood up and wrapped her arms around Lee Jae-heon’s neck. And then he awkwardly started comforting me. Jaeheon Lee wrapped his arms around the child’s waist and leaned back against the head of the bed. Seo-ah lay down on his upper body and hugged his neck tightly.

‘…It’s hard to comfort a child…’

Lee Jae-heon was half liberated.

‘But actually, it’s easier compared to my previous life.’

Children of vipers. Those friends couldn’t just gloss over the mental age because it wasn’t a child’s. The princesses who proved themselves to be the daughters of poisonous snakes by opening their eyes and vowing revenge rather than crying when they got hurt while working, and the son who tapped the cushion in front of me and asked me to properly explain where he got hurt. It’s scary just to think about it.

Of course, I’m not sure where I am and what I’m doing now, but…

“Seoya.”

Suddenly another child opened the door and came in.

It was Choi Min-hong, who brought an ice bag.

“Seoaya.”

“…Ugh….”

“Seo-ah’s gift.”

Choi Min-hong handed a transparent pack full of ice to Jang Seo-ah. Seo-ah, who received the ice pack with a still tearful face, had a question mark in her eyes saying, ‘What should I do?’ Lee Jae-heon, who understood Choi Min-hong’s intentions, took the bag, cooled his hands, and covered Seo-ah’s eyes.

“Minhong, this kind of ice is too cold for our small and delicate Seo-ah.”

“uh? ah? ah.”

“But I appreciate the gift. Next time, it would be a good idea to bring something like a towel to cover a layer of ice. “I brought it because I heard Seo-ah crying.”

“huh.”

“It’s not yes, it’s yes.”

“yes.”

“Good job, thank you.”

Lee Jae-heon, who cooled Seo-ah’s eyes with his cold hands, called the child.

“You have to stand and say hello.”

“…Geomaeouh….”

“Look at how the pronunciation is all messed up.”

Jang Seo-ah buried her face in a thick ice pack. I thought it would be too cold, but the pack was wrapped in two thin layers of envelopes, so even if my skin was weak, it didn’t seem like it would cause frostbite.

Yes, he wants to do it. How can I stop him? Jaeheon Lee gave up.

‘Anyway, the children of this world run out when it snows in the winter…’

But I didn’t think it would be a good idea to keep it on for too long, so I gently raised my head. My face is still swollen with tears. Choi Min-hong, perhaps because his ugly face had caught his interest, also climbed onto the bed. Although he was quite tall, his perseverance was amazing.

“Seoah, I’m crying.”

“Huh.”

“Did you cry?”

“Huh.”

“I’ll give you a pat.”

“…Todaki….”

“That’s right.”

Who on earth did you learn that ‘right’ from? President Choi Jeong-man? Teacher Ha Seong-yoon? Or Choi’s younger sister whose character I haven’t figured out yet? If not, did it come from a drama…? Lee Jae-heon intervened, as it was clearly not the tone one would use for a friend of the same age.

“It’s not right for your younger brother.”

“why?”

“That is human decency.”

“omg.”

Minhong Choi nodded his head. Sometimes the child falls out, but he still listens well. He’s a good kid. Although he is a child with a tendency to turn into a bad situation, President Choi Jeong-man seems to be taking good care of him.

To be honest, Choi Min-hong’s tendency was of great help in the behind-the-scenes world. I was interested, but I never burst into tears unless I was in some serious situation, like a monster coming right in front of me.

“Jaeheon Lee, slowly….”

“Yes? “Are you going to catch me again?”

“You need to sleep a lot to recover faster, right? I would like you to take into account the fact that the area that was hit was the head. “You suffered a major blow to the most important area for humans.”

When Ha Seong-yoon came in and tried to send the children out, Lee Jae-heon’s clothes stretched out.

“….”

“….”

Jang Seo-ah and Choi Min-hong held on to Lee Jae-heon’s clothes.

“…I won’t go.”

“…Kids, this guy is a patient right now. I should have been in the hospital, but I came out of nowhere. “If you’re around, I won’t be able to rest well, so my healing will be slower.”

Minhong Choi spoke at those words.

“I like that.”

“huh?”

“It’s only here.”

“Oh…”

Lee Jae-heon admired.

“The sprouts are special.”

“Are you ready to admire it now?”

Why do I keep getting scolded? It was Choi Min-hong’s child who spoke up?

Am I crooked?
