Theatrical Regression Life

Chapter 472

In order to explain why the situation was like this, I had to go back in time a little bit.

It was 10:30 on Friday evening.

“…You said you left Seo-ah in your care?”

The incident began at the main branch of President Choi Jeong-man’s ‘Our Uncle Gukbap Restaurant’.

“Is that so? I was wondering whether I should speak or not, but then the students came and started talking. I’m not sure what Lee Jae-heon is doing these days, but even though he’s busy, I’m a little nervous about leaving Seo-ah in my care…” “Oh, I’m

anxious!”

The students who stopped by President Choi Jeong-man’s soup restaurant to have a late-night snack after finishing their lunch, heard news like a lightning bolt.

The story was that Lee Jae-heon left Seo-ah at President Choi Jeong-man’s house to see what on earth he was planning. Even CEO Choi Jeong-man doesn’t know what Lee Jae-heon is thinking.

The good news among the misfortunes was that Seo-ah was not glum.

“You have to stand. “Don’t worry, my sister will scold you.”

“Don’t scold me.”

“Huh?”

“I will scold you.”

“ah.”

Seo-ah was a strong child.

“The man said it was okay.”

“…Yeah, yeah. I see.”

Park Da-young was relieved that this man did not hurt the little child without thinking. A sigh of relief came out.

‘But that doesn’t mean I can understand the situation properly.’

No, why?

Dayoung Park had a headache.

‘Are you saying this because the person who was hospitalized just a few days ago is sane? ‘I guess my ankle wouldn’t have completely healed, would it?’

Oh, of course Jaeheon Lee was not in his right mind.

I knew that, but I didn’t know that he would silently swindle people like this.

Where did it go this time? saccharose? Industry? That’s right, Lee Jae-heon also has a private life, so he could have gone somewhere else without telling him, but didn’t he leave the child to CEO Choi Jeong-man?

‘This clearly means to protect Seo-ah…’

Then it meant that Lee Jae-heon went to a place where he could not be protected. Although it was an extreme assumption, I couldn’t shake off my anxiety at the fact that I left the choice of Lee Yun-byeol, who had always taken care of Seo-ah, and placed her by the side of President Choi Jeong-man.

“Where did you go again?”

“That guy isn’t even fully healed yet.”

“You tend to live your life like a secret world.”

“I admit it.”

Lee Jae-heon’s difficult reality may be a side effect of having been in and out of the underworld since he was young.

After conversing and expressing bitter feelings, the Park siblings faced reality. My top priority was to find out Jaeheon Lee’s whereabouts while I was complaining.

Da-hoon Park asked the child without any expectations.

“You said you didn’t tell me where Mr. Seo Aya went?”

“I went to see the fish.”

“…uh?”

But surprisingly, the answer came easily.

“Fish.”

“…If it’s a fish….”

“A big one.”

“…Aquarium?”

“that.”

“aha.”

Park Da-hoon, who easily got the answer, looked at President Choi Jeong-man. He probably didn’t expect such a quick answer, so he opened his eyes wide and looked at Seo-ah. Other high school students around him looked at President Choi Jeong-man with cold, salty eyes.

“You didn’t even ask the kid?”

“Oh no, I thought you didn’t know….”

“Did we just assume that we didn’t know and just scoop it up among ourselves?”

“…Would you like some more boiled pork?”

“Yes, pickled onions too. “The sauce here is delicious.”

“thanks.”

President Choi Jeong-man wasn’t a bad person, but he had a strangely old-fashioned side to him. In the past, even in the park of the other side of the world, there was an embarrassing incident when trying to hook up Kwon Yeon-hee and Jeong In-ho.

In a similar vein, this lack of communication occurred because children were thought to be something that needed to be protected.

Reflecting greatly, President Choi Jeong-man bowed his head to the kindergarten and high school students.

“Oh, sorry. I will work hard to become a more mature adult in the future….”

“That is exactly the attitude, boss! The future of our sprouts depends on you!”

Park Da-young asked Seo-ah, leaving behind the people engaged in a skit.

“You went to the aquarium? “Did you tell Seo-ah?”

“yes.”

“…Um… Really? “It’s an aquarium…”

I didn’t understand why I went there alone, leaving Seo-ah behind.

“…It’s not a dangerous place?”

“…Isn’t this a place related to the industry?”

“If that were the case, why would you bring an entire team of survivors to visit?”

“Maybe I found out later. “That’s why I went alone.”

“Even if that’s the case, why are you going there again?”

“Maybe he visited alone to handle it like he did last time with Seong Dae-young…?”

“I hate myself for not being able to clearly deny that it is not true.”

There were more than one or two heads that Lee Jae-heon used to silently attack, and it was difficult to narrow down opinions.

First of all, Lee Jae-heon would never have left Seo-ah in the care of someone else just because she was annoying. He not only told me where he was going, but also contacted me regularly.

So does this mean that the house has become unsafe to keep Seo-ah, whom he loves? Was there any pressure from this party? Have you ever had a hidden camera installed in your house? My doubts grew.

While thinking about it, Park Da-hoon opened his mouth.

“…Now that I think about it, the aquarium….”

“What is that?”

“When we all went to the aquarium, was that what you suggested first?”

Seo-ah, who was listening, blinked her eyes and joined in.

“…Ask me if you like fish. “I did.”

“You asked Seo-ah if she liked fish?”

“huh.”

“What did Seo-ah say?”

“I like it…”

“I see. thank you.”

Park Da-hoon nodded.

“I think the story you brought up first is correct.”

“So you wanted to go to the aquarium…? “Unless Seo-ah said she wanted to go?”

“Why the aquarium?”

Park Da-young, who was wondering about her younger brother, found a strange family.

“…Overcome training…?”

“…overcoming what?”

“You don’t like water.”

“ah.”

Because the place was different, I used the euphemism ‘I hate it’, but they both knew it. Jaeheon Lee was afraid of water.

To be exact, it seemed like it was afraid of water in enclosed or dark places. And the aquarium was a space with conditions that exactly matched what he was afraid of.

“I don’t know when I will enter the secret world again, and I felt that I was weak because of the water at the last language high school… I think I am going for training to try to improve my personality.”

“…Did you leave Seo-ah with the boss?”

“Isn’t there a variety of reasons, such as not wanting to show a weak side or thinking that being sensitive would have a negative impact on Seo-ah?”

“It’s definitely not easy to take care of someone if you don’t have peace of mind.”

Jaeheon Lee was a person who lived by the words “efficiency and rationality.” Despite that, I did a lot of really inefficient and irrational things, but in that context, visiting the aquarium had a strange aspect to it. They could have just taken the child, but they took almost all of the survivors with them.

In that case, wouldn’t Jae-heon Lee have gone to prepare for pre-study on his own terms? Preliminary training to avoid revealing your trauma in a situation where other survivors are present, like in the real world. Then, I understood why he suddenly suggested going to the aquarium.

“But when I actually experienced it myself, I felt like I needed more practice.”

“Because the uncle is secretly proud, he may not have wanted to show his broken side, and especially since Seo-ah is still very young… he may not have wanted to show it even more.”

“I understand, I understand.”

Dayoung Park agreed and agreed.

It was a guess that was a little different from the truth, but in any case, it was correct to some extent in terms of ‘preparation for the secret world’, so it wasn’t completely wrong.

Combined with the sacrificial and self-consuming aspects that Lee Jae-heon usually showed, their hypothesis gained great persuasiveness.

“Then we should go!”

So this conclusion was reached.

“It might be a burden for you, so we’ll go first.”

“Wow, it’s the Parks’ tyranny…! “We miss you too!”

“Do not look down on the believers of Jaeheonggyo Church…!”

“Damn it. You guys are so crazy. “Don’t worry about tiring me out. Get out of there.”

“Oh, it’s really too much…!”

Anyway, tomorrow will be the weekend. Also, the students worked together to protect Mr. Do-jin, who had a bad habit of trying to solve everything on his own. There was a lot of debate, but in the end, only the Park siblings participated in the aquarium trip due to mental illness.

The two kindergarten students could not be left out.

“Me too, uncle.”

“Me too, mister…”

The children held their hands together and looked up at their guardians with bright eyes. President Choi Jeong-man laughed and said at the powerful charm of the youngest team member among the survivors.

“These days, Minhong has been learning aegyo from Seoah.”

“Wow… no… wow, it’s really cute….”

“How great is it to see two babies doing the same thing? Ugh, I just want to chew that cheek and eat it. Things like Baekseolgi.”

There was a minor incident where the kindergartners were shocked by President Choi Jeong-man’s remark that he wanted to “chew his cheek,” but anyway, the aquarium visit group was formed safely.

The next day, Saturday.

“huh? That…”

“Seal.”

“So, it’s a dojo map.”

“I’m going to go get a gift since I’ve been holding on tight.”

“But I didn’t get it last time.”

The two children even brought a stamp map to receive the gift they didn’t receive last time. To be exact, only Minhong. Seo-ah left the stamp map at Lee Jae-heon’s house and was unable to bring it back. I never thought I would go to an aquarium like this again.

“I’m going to stamp it today too…”

“Didn’t you say that last time and didn’t stamp it because it was too bothersome?”

“It’s a different mindset.”

With the help of President Choi Jeong-man, the students got off in front of the aquarium and went inside the building, each taking care of a child.

Since it was the weekend, I didn’t know what time Lee Jae-heon would visit the aquarium, but my intention was to go in and look for Lee Jae-heon and wait if he wasn’t there.

“There’s a lot to see.”

“If you’re tired, why not rest at a cafe?”

Because it is a very large aquarium, there are many cafes for visitors. They went further inside, thinking of waiting there if Lee Jae-heon hadn’t arrived yet.

“Are you a student?”

“yes. “Two high school students and two kindergarten students.”

“There is a free pass that allows you to experience all the different themes. Which way…”

“Please give me a free pass.”

“Please wait a moment.”

Students received tickets in the form of necklaces, rather than the paper bracelets that adults receive, and shared them among themselves.

Seo-ah was jumping up and down as if she was happy with the ticket necklace she received after such a long time. Since it is a place where there are usually many adult guardians and children, attention was focused on this unique combination.

That’s when I looked around the first theme zone ‘Underwater World’ and was about to get a stamp.

“….”

“….”

“…Huh?”

Curly, dyed hair.

“What the fuck. “Why are you here?”

“…Isn’t that what we should say…me?”

Serial killer Song In-myeong was watching the fish in the aquarium.

Da-Hoon Park naturally and quickly hid the two kindergarten students behind him, and Da-Young Park blocked their path. Song In-myeong snorted at the sight of the underage team being on full alert.

“What? See these bastards? “Who am I preying on?”

“Oh, you didn’t catch it? “I thought you had already caught it because it seemed like something you usually do.”

“Why the hell are you doing it? “I came here to see it with my own money.”

“So why are you coming to see the aquarium in the middle of the city?…”

“Why can’t I even come to the aquarium?”

“Honestly, I feel like I shouldn’t come…?”

“You really say everything you have to say. You crazy bastard.”

“You have kids, so why don’t you be gentle with your speech?”

“They’re not funny.”

After a sharp exchange of words between Park Da-young and Song In-myeong, Park Da-hoon dialed 112 on his cell phone.

Suddenly, the world changed.

“….”

“…Hmm, fuck….”

No matter where I looked, it was a hidden world.

Why, this combination at this timing.

The students and Song In-myeong both felt like they wanted to send a protest email to the operator of the behind-the-scenes world.
