Theatrical Regression Life Chapter 599
Chapter 599:
After escaping from the aquarium, a subtle rift developed between the survivors.
Some people noticed it and some didn’t know it at all. That’s why the crack this time was so faint and shallow, but it was dense enough to penetrate all over the place.
Those who noticed the strange distance between the survivors were very embarrassed.
‘President Choi Jeong-man has also become very sensitive.’
‘I can’t contact teacher Ha Seong-yoon.’
‘There has been less contact in the group chat room. Was it always like this?’
The presence of Park Min-jun and Seo In-young, known as new survivors, also contributed to the rift.
Even though they did not do anything directly, the solidarity of the existing survivors became weaker in the process of caring about them, like adding water to thick juice.
Possessor Park Min-jun asked.
“Are you going to keep going like this?”
Jaeheon Lee, who was drinking tea, nodded.
“I thought it would be efficient to do it this way.”
“At one point, you said you didn’t want to throw away cute chicks.”
“When did I say I kicked you out? Just keep a reasonable distance from each other. “There’s nothing to do other than mess up.”
“Isn’t that even more painful? “It would be cooler and more convenient to say directly that I don’t want to get close to you.”
“Then the chicks cry. And it’s not that I don’t want to get closer or that I don’t like the chicks, it’s just that I decided that this would be much better for them and me.”
Park Min-jun shrugged his shoulders after picking up the cookies on the table and eating them.
“I agree that keeping a distance like this is more effective for future survival.”
“Hmm and?”
“I think you need to prepare for a beating, Captain.”
“I’ve never been spanked even in my past life.”
“Instead, you probably saw a hole in your stomach. I know.”
Park Min-jun said, shaking off his powdery hands.
“But aren’t the chicks here really just born yesterday? We understand it’s part of the plan to keep our distance or not, but they probably aren’t. “I daresay it will be very sarcastic.”
“What can I do because they are being sarcastic?”
“That’s true, but wouldn’t a chick squirm if you step on it?”
“What does our Park Min-jun want to say to the captain?”
“As you know.”
Park Min-jun looked straight at Lee Jae-heon.
“If you’re going to throw it away, please throw it away properly.”
“Then you will take that empty seat? “That’s cool.”
“It’s a chicken raised by someone. “You never miss an opportunity.”
“There is no benefit to sticking with me. “It’s been quite a while since I retired.”
“Even if one retires, the essence of a person does not change. “I know that if I stand by your side, a lot of beans will fall.”
“The ending will be terrible, right?”
“Before that, I’m going to fall alone.”
Jaeheon Lee laughed.
“I told you not to stab me in the back.”
“Because I’m not the type of person to wait alone on a sinking ship.”
“Good, reasonable. After all, model students are different.”
“Will you just do it, Captain?”
Park Min-jun got up from his chair at the dining table and brought a tray with black tea on it. Jaeheon Lee placed the teapot in the middle of the table and brought out some additional fruits, which made Park Minjun very happy.
“looks delicious.”
“Are you starving? “Where did all the money I gave go?”
“I used it to move.”
“I gave it to them to eat, but they sat there thinking they were moving.”
“I thought it wasn’t the kind of house where Mr. Roach appeared.”
“Oh, I need to move that. Right.”
Sigh.
Jaeheon Lee and Minjun Park sat facing each other.
“So…”
Park Min-jun opened his mouth again.
“Aren’t you planning on going stronger?”
“Don’t think about making our chicks cry.”
“Captain, do you know that sometimes you can be really cruel?”
The reason Lee Jae-heon keeps his distance is not because the current survivors are troublesome or annoying. It was not that he felt betrayed by the fact that they were afraid of him, nor was he pushing and pushing to control the survivors.
However, Jaeheon Lee found it strange that the survivors did not hate him from the beginning.
Fast forward to now, and the survivors’ rejection was something that should have come to Lee Jae-heon sooner, and Lee Jae-heon, who knew that, accepted the survivors’ rejection with ease.
“You’re so kind.”
If the crack was simply due to bad feelings, all you have to do is fix the feelings. However, there would be only a few people who could fix Lee Jae-heon’s kind consideration that had become so twisted.
“I think I know how much you raised the chicks.”
“It’s such a soft world, so shouldn’t I also have to meet soft standards?”
“Sorry to ask, but do you have children? In the case of Choi Min-hong and Jang Seo-ah, I can understand these humble subordinates, but the rest are already big, black people.”
“You have a soft heart.”
“For something like that, it’s pretty disgusting…”
“If you look at it, it has some stupid and cute sides as well.”
“First of all, I don’t think it’s my taste.”
Minjun Park nodded while fiddling with his cup of black tea.
“Anyway, if the captain says so, I understand.”
From Park Min-jun’s perspective, it was better for Lee Jae-heon to maintain a reasonable distance from the survivors.
Not only was he able to fit into the gap and enter Lee Jae-heon’s enclosure, but he was also advantageous in terms of survival efficiency.
If the relationship between survivors is moderately awkward, it will be easier to appropriately use and exploit someone as a scapegoat.
“The relationship between the captain’s chicks is very close now. I thought about it and this will be detrimental to my future activities. Those chicks are useless if they can’t even make decisions wisely. “Isn’t whining and not being able to come up with a solution something even kindergarteners like Choi Min-hong or Jang Seo-ah can do?”
“Not even to our chicks.”
Looking at things like this, it seems like he cares for me.
‘I heard the captain has very unique tastes.’
Well, his captain has always been an unnecessarily affectionate but efficient person. So the process was strange, but the result was good. Even though I wondered, ‘Is this really an efficient decision?’, Park Min-jun was convinced because he always got reasonable results.
Above all, he was a person with an outstanding ability to manipulate other people’s brains.
‘If the captain wants… he can throw out those chicks at any time.’
So, the strong relationship between Lee Jae-heon and the chicks until now was all Lee Jae-heon’s will.
And that wasn’t going to happen anymore.
“…Anyway, I like it.”
“Did I evaluate that our Mr. Park Min-jun’s sentiments were really bad?”
“I know that people from my hometown have to stick together.”
When people who share the same culture come together, efficiency increases. It was common sense. It would be stressful for people living in different cultures to even talk, let alone cooperate, with each other.
The most valuable thing is mental strength. A subordinate who undermines that mental strength is not worth it.
“So… what do you plan to do next?”
“I guess I’ll have to find a manager first.”
“You still don’t know who it is.”
“If you knew, would you have stayed here like this?”
“This also has its own thrill. “It’s fun.”
Just thinking about hitting the dog-like manager in the back of the head made me lose my nerve.
“It is almost time for him to go to hell.”
“I think similarly. “Ha Geuk-sang was always thrilling and happy.”
“If the manager dies here, will it fall into his wife’s hands? Oh, how magical that would be.”
“That nobleman should have accumulated a fair amount of karma.”
“Then the manager’s name cries.”
The two, who continued to imagine happily, soon entered into a full-fledged meeting of measures.
“Fortunately, this time, employee Kwon Yeon-hee built a relationship with Dr. Seo In-young. I am also a doctor with whom I have a personal relationship, and am a person in the industry, and I am also a doctor who is often called by Lee Dang. “If I use it well, I think people will ask for good information.”
“In that case, I will try to approach first. The captain was someone who absolutely had to be taken care of, and he was even a patient. Considering that the average professional consciousness of doctors around the world is high, there would not be many doctors who would whine and complain in front of patients. “Dr. Seo In-young will do the same.”
“If you think so, Mr. Park Min-jun should definitely do the part that opens the water. Dr. Seo In-young is very shy. Because of the rift I created, the atmosphere has become strangely awkward, and Dr. Seo In-young, who is already in the industry and is mostly new to the company, is probably having a hard time adjusting. Park Min-jun approaches and creates a separate faction with Seo In-young at the head. “It’s about making him feel like he belongs.”
“If I bring in Dr. Seo In-young and create a faction, my speaking power will naturally increase. The greater my voice and influence, the more opportunities I have to help you. However, in order to survive in our own way, I think we can proceed more easily if the captain, who has already shown the method to the survivors, and I, as an additional survivor, agree with what he said….” “Then at
first, I will go to Dr. Seo In-young first. I need to start the ground work here first so I can take the lead. “It may be a pity for Mr. Park Min-jun, but you can’t give a talented chicken a doll called Dr. Seo In-young.”
“The fact that you still don’t trust me that much makes me always respect your caution, Captain. In that case, I will begin a full-fledged approach after the captain’s work is finished. Actually, I find it much easier that way too. Shaking people’s minds is the captain’s specialty, so after approaching him, I can easily play around with Dr. Seo In-young.”
“Then…”
The voices of the two people who had been talking for a long time suddenly cut off.
“….”
“….”
Jiik Jiik…
Jang Seo-ah, who was soundly asleep, came out dragging her slippers.
“…Uncle….”
“Can’t you sleep?”
“Yes.”
Jang Seo-ah clung to Lee Jae-heon, whining with a sleepy face.
At the same time, I glanced at Park Min-jun with my eyes.
“….”
“….”
From that appearance… Park Min-jun could sense a hint of caution.
Late morning. The drowsiness that covered his face, unable to overcome the limitations of a child, was not a lie, but the gaze he was glaring at Park Min-jun was clear. I was certain that it wasn’t a particularly positive view.
‘As expected, children are more perceptive than adults.’
Did Park Min-jun look like a cancer trying to change my ‘uncle’?
‘…cute.’
He has good judgment and knows how to use his image as a ‘pretty child’ effectively. The fact that she already knew how to use her head rationally made her a chick with qualities that Jaeheon Lee would find cute.
“….”
“Let’s go to bed and I’ll put you to sleep.”
It was clear that Jaeheon Lee knew that too.
‘The thoroughness of treating someone kindly but never giving them any space… is also worthy of imitation.’
This does not mean that Lee Jae-heon’s affectionate treatment of Jang Seo-ah is false. However, Lee Jae-heon was drawing a line, saying, ‘This is just the end.’ He put the whining child on the bed and went back into the living room.
“The kid hasn’t been able to sleep at night lately.”
“You really seem like a father.”
“How can you turn an innocent single father like me into a married man?”
“Um…”
Jang Seo-ah is far away so she can’t hear this conversation.
“You had a child.”
“…yes.”
“I think you can see a bit of me back then.”
“is it?”
“When taking care of your daughters.”
Jaeheon Lee was like that back then too.
‘The line was clear.’
The affection he offered was sincere, but that did not mean that he would allow her to be by his side. The Viper was a loving father, but at the same time he was a villain who knew efficiency.
“Well, that’s true, but…”
Park Min-jun said, glancing towards the room where Jang Seo-ah would be.
“You care more about that child than the other survivors.”
“Because I’m young.”
“It seems like you care more about me than Choi Min-hong. Is it because he’s so smart? “Are you a special chick?”
“There’s that too…”
Jaeheon Lee covered the corners of his mouth.
“I promised not to throw it away.”
That face and voice were just calm.
However, Lee Jae-heon was very dry, like a slightly sleepy or tired person. Park Min-jun nodded in response to his answer, which was as quiet as burned ashes.
“…aha.”
As befits our leader.
‘It’s still a dog.’
I was satisfied that he had not changed.
* * *
The ghost police in the mirror was just bursting inside.
* * *
A few days later.
“Oh, that manager?”
“You were working here.”
“Something happened to our hospital….”
Lee Jae-heon visited Dr. Seo In-young’s hospital.
“Do you have any pain anywhere?”
“Yes, a little.”
Having created a minor rift, it was time to widen it further.
“My ankle hurts.”
I’m also looking for a manager as well.
Jaeheon Lee laughed like a snake.
