Chapter 528
Theatrical Regression Life
Episode 528
Lee Jae-heon said he was a villain.
âWhy are you a villain in the first place?â
Song In-myeongâs question was valid.
âDonât ordinary people think they are the main charactersâ¦? Of course, he is a very far from ânormalâ person, but if he still calls himself a villain, there must be some clear basis.â
âThatâs an unusual question.â
âIn what sense is this an unusual question?â
Lee Jae-heon rather said that he did not understand Song In-myeong.
âIsnât it obvious? First of all, the impression is badâ¦.â
âOh, if you have a bad impression, everyone is an asshole?â
âI donât have a good personality.â
âItâs bad in a way⦠but that doesnât mean they can all be villains.â
âMore than anything, it is a being that is harmful to the main character.â
âoh.â
Song In-myeong frowned.
âHero?â
âYes, protagonist.â
âWhere in the world is there something like thatâ¦? The âmain characterâ I just mentioned was just a metaphor for how much you respect yourself. But I donât think the main character youâre talking about really means that, is that right?â
ââ¦Donât you know the main character?â
ââ¦who is that?â
âAs far as I know, I think it was a friend named Jeong In-ho.â
Song In-myeong closed his mouth and raised his head to look at the ceiling. Song In-myeong, who had been staring at the ceiling in silence for a while, looked at Lee Jae-heon again and nodded.
âFuck, settings that I donât know about keep popping up. âThey say there is a god in a very dark world, right?â
âI think there probably is.â
ââ¦.â
It was a very interesting fact, but Song In-myeong frowned deeply. Now was not the time to discuss each otherâs faith, talking about the main character or God.
He waved his hand.
ââ¦Later⦠Letâs ask more about that later.â
âWhy doesnât Song In-myeong know anything?â
âKnowing is even weirder, damn it. âLetâs go back to the original topic.â
Song In-myeong asked after regaining his pace.
âSo why is he a villain? A being that is harmful to the main character, Jeong In-ho? Isnât that a bit strange? Didnât you almost live with Jeong In-ho? âItâs probably not particularly harmful, right?â
âThat canât be possible.â
âWhy are you so adamant?â
âIsnât that my role in the first place?â
Jaeheon Lee asked as if he didnât understand.
âJaeheon Lee. He is an old man, a royal, and the manager of Ohsung Corporation. He has a bad personality and is a pretty pathetic person who is bad at his job. And because he feels bad for Jung In-ho, he picks fights over everything and scolds him unnecessarily. Thereâs no way Jeong In-ho could like such a pathetic person.â
âYou know that even if you look like an old man with such a calm face, you donât get it, right? Iâm saying this because I donât think you know. In the first place, why is the uncleâs role like that⦠that kind of pathetic villain? I donât understand from there now. Do you usually act like youâre playing with concepts? Have you been dreaming of becoming an actor?â
âNot really.â
âThen why is your role like that?â
âBecause it was decided that wayâ¦â â
â¦.â
After thinking for a moment, Song In-myeong asked.
âSo youâre saying that you donât think of yourself as a villain, but rather that someone decided for you?â
ââ¦I may have brought it upon myself, but wouldnât that be true in some ways?â
âThe uncle liked it so much that he accepted it and said, âOh, of course, Iâm a villain.ââ
ââ¦? I couldnât help but like it. Because it means that I am given a task to do, and that proves that I am usefulâ¦â â
â¦.â
Song In-myeong thought to himself as he was carefully analyzing Lee Jae-heonâs bullshit.
ââ¦Has this party also created a cult?â
It was a reasonable suspicion.
I donât think so, but seeing Lee Jae-heonâs reaction makes me very suspicious. Isnât it a nuance that if you can be useful to yourself, itâs okay even if it means being hated by others?
Jaeheon Lee was abnormally obsessed with his own values.
âI had a similar question before⦠but who on earth made Lee Jae-heon like this?â
It was difficult to explain with only the brothersâ affectionate abuse and treatment in the underworld.
No, itâs possible, but no matter how much I think about it, I think there must have been another reason. There must be a law that is firm, like the providence of nature or the rules of a group, rather than something vague like the opinions of people around youâ¦
ââ¦Uhâ¦â
Now that I think about it, they said there is a God in the other world.
There is also a main character, and that is Jung In-ho.
ââ¦.â
âDo you also agree with my opinion?â
âI have more questions than that.â
Song In-myeong asked after cutting out Lee Jae-heonâs nonsense.
âIs it God who decided that you are a villain?â
âYes thatâs right.â
ââ¦.â
âWhatâs the problem?â
ââ¦Iâm a bit shocked by the fact that the underworld was a huge pseudo-groupâ¦.â
Song In-myeong, who was honestly asking the question but was thinking of saying, âWow, this is really bittersweet,â suddenly snapped at Song In-myeong. The presence of God who attacked me was truly burdensome.
ââ¦That god⦠also decides on the main character? âIs that Jeong In-ho?â
âIt appears that Song In-myeongâs friend is close to Assistant Manager Jeong In-ho.â
âYeah, I think heâs big enough to be like this.â
ââ¦it is difficult to determine the intent of the utterance.â
âJust listen to it. You grew up well. âWow, this is great.â
In this crazy situation, if he was that crazy, he would have made a save. The person has grown up so well.
âGood boy good boy.â
âthank you.â
âItâs not for me to say, but shouldnât you be a little annoyed if you treat me like a dog?â
âI took it as a compliment.â
âA compliment was a compliment, but there is such a thing as class and result in this world.â
I reflexively refuted it, but Song In-myeong just resigned himself to seeing Lee Jae-heonâs face saying, âAnyway, I know you praised me and I will accept it well.â
âThe more I sell this, the less I get answersâ¦â
I couldnât figure out what to do to prevent Lee Jae-heon from dying. To be honest, at this point, it seemed like it would be polite to just let Lee Jae-heon die.
Even if he dies, he will come back to life anyway, so is there any reason to stop him like this?
ââ¦.â
No, I canât persuade you.
ââ¦Honestly, this isnât my field.â
âThen, as expected, I agree with my opinionâ¦.â
âNevertheless, I will try my best.â
Song In-myeong composed himself.
He shifted his perspective a little.
In order to prevent Lee Jae-heon from dying, he would have to address his self-esteem, which was the most fundamental cause, but the problem was too big and deep for serial killer Song In-myeong to solve. Instead, Song In-myeong decided to consider the efficiency that Lee Jae-heon lives by so much.
âDo you think youâll be able to make people happy if you die?â
âIsnât that so?â
âItâs so bold that itâs ridiculous, but if I were to give you the correct answer, itâs not at all. âIf you die now, there will be no one but people who will cry.â
ââ¦.â
Lee Jae-heonâs face, who was staring at Song In-myeong, frowned a little.
ââ¦then that wouldnât work.â
âIâve felt it before, but why do people have to be happy about your death? Because youâre a villain? Because God decided the role like that? Isnât the manâs ânoâ a reaction like that of a judge who says that he canât do that according to the rules, regardless of his own preferences? thatâs right?â
ââ¦.â
âIâm just saying it. Even if you make sacrifices, no one will like you. No matter how much of a villain he is, why is Trent like that these days? âThere is a villain who makes everyone sad when he dies, and there is a villain who becomes cider when he dies.â
âIâm definitely the latter.â
âNo, itâs the former. Of course, the person in the former case is shaking like this.â
Song In-myeong was a bit absurd.
âAt this point, honestly, isnât it a matter of cognitive ability rather than social skills?â
âThere is no problem with my function.â
âThen maybe all the memories of you helping the chicks or playing with them have evaporated and you canât be conscious of it at all? âOf course you wouldnât feel bad if a close person who helped you and talked to you about every detail was left behind instead of you.â
ââ¦.â
Jaeheon Lee looked a little confused.
ââ¦Did I get along well with anyone?â
Song In-myeong clicked his tongue.
âDidnât I tell you earlierâ¦? Of course, since I have a good relationship with you, Park Da-hoon doesnât do that just because he doesnât want you to get hurt. âIâm sure other people do the same.â
At those words, Jaeheon Lee kept his mouth shut.
My eyes wander.
âWhy⦠whyâ¦â â
â¦.â
ââ¦like thatâ¦â
Frowning face and clouded gaze.
He acted like a person who had heard something truly absurd.
Like a person who witnessed two moons appearing in the night sky or a person flying in the sky.
Lee Jae-heon continued speaking slowly.
ââ¦Isnât that okay?â
Thatâs what I mean when I think about it and worry about it.
âIâm sorry, but honestly, I donât understand. âI donât really understand what my friend Song In-myeong said.â
ââ¦Itâs not that you donât believe it, is it?â
âI think there is that too.â
ââ¦.â
âI must die. Then people will like it. Itâs that kind of role. Itâs always been that way and nothing has changed. Itâs correct that there shouldnât be any. No matter how much I donât die on my own terms, I know that that should be an unchanging fact. âMaybe so.â
The neat and clear voice was a bit gibberish.
ââ¦No one pays that much attention to resources that are only meant to be consumed, right? âUnless heâs a pervert with outrageous tastesâ¦â
He seemed to be feeling repulsed beyond understanding.
ââ¦.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Anyone who saw him would have thought he was a person who had been assaulted on the street or sexually harassed at work.
Surprisingly, the level of reluctance Jaeheon Lee was showing was exactly that. They are acting like victims who have been harmed by criminals.
Even if it was Song In-myeong, this reaction made me feel a bit dizzy.
ââ¦Iâm going crazyâ¦.â
There are degrees of absurdity.
So what exactly is the âobviousnessâ that Jaeheon Lee can understand?
Is it right to curse him and even kill him? No matter how crazy a person is, he or she should not be at the level of taking for granted common sense that is completely opposite to general common sense.
ââ¦.â
In fact, Song In-myeong did not greatly sympathize with Lee Jae-heonâs unfortunate past.
âAnyway, youâre living well. Then, isnât that enough?â
So Song In-myeong didnât really think about whether Lee Jae-heon called himself a monster or a villain. It was simply because I saw his unique and strange self-esteem as one of Jaeheon Leeâs unique characteristics.
Because of that, sometimes when I look at Lee Jae-heonâs chicks, Iâve thought, âAnyway, he says heâs fine, but why would he do something like thatâ¦â more than once or twice. From my perspective, Jaeheon Leeâs plans were often effective, as he said.
âBut thatâs only when there is no real damage.â
âyes?â
âRight now, damage is coming to me.â
Of course, mental damage was also damage.
Song In-myeong admitted that he did not welcome Lee Jae-heonâs death. When I think back to the first time I met him, I thought, âHow could this be?â But that was then and now is now.
Song In-myeong had to persuade or at least hold on to Lee Jae-heon until someone who could stop him arrived. He was in a situation where he could avoid seeing Lee Jae-heonâs body only if he destroyed this bullshit logic.
ââ¦.â
But I never thought there would be this much no answer.
ââ¦Iâm really dumbfounded.â
What should I say?
âWhat should I do to prevent Lee Jae-heon from dying?â
Is that even possible in the first place?
