chapter 24
24 – Beginning of War [EPISODE – 1]
“Hey. Are you kidding me?”
I feel like I’m going to have a good time.
I looked at Reitana in front of me.
She was a beautiful blond woman who smiled at me with a very benevolent and warm smile.
However, the hidden side of that smile is too cruel.
I knew it before, but I feel it again.
“Oh my gosh… Siwoo, you know how to make that kind of expression.”
When I glar at Reitana, Reitana smiles broadly.
Then he came up to me and stroked my hair like a provocation.
“By the way, seeing Siwoo like this. He’s really handsome, doesn’t his angry expression look s*xy…?”
Reitana continued her attitude as if she had taken the initiative in the conversation, as if she had nothing to regret.
Reitana didn’t seem to take it that seriously right now.
It was Reitana who looked relaxed, as if she was accustomed to threats.
“I’ll tell you in advance, don’t think of playing with Lee Si-eun. Before I kill you.”
I let go of Reitana’s hand stroking my hair.
I am currently holding back my anger with superhuman strength.
My feelings now were so disgusting just by looking at his face.
I want to make Reitana a muk bowl right now, but I don’t know what will happen to Lee Si-eun if I do, so I’m holding back.
“Oh my. It’s scary. If you stare at me like that, what will you do if I tell you to kill Lee Si-eun?”
When I glared at Reitana with eyes full of murder, Reitana showed a playful expression with a fierce expression.
It’s like, ‘Don’t you know who has the upper hand now?’ It was a look like that.
“If you hurt Lee Si-eun even one bit, don’t think about living in my name.”
I calmly continued talking to Reitana’s face.
“Whoops. It’s a joke.”
When I didn’t react to her provocation, Reitana responded that it wasn’t fun.
Then he smiled again, showing a lively laugh.
“Still, we’ve been eating together in the past, but I don’t know if it’s someone I don’t know, but I can’t do it to the younger sister of someone I know.”
Reitana put her hand in her arms.
Then he took out his business card and handed it to me.
“But… I can do it. Depending on Siwoo’s attitude?”
The business card that Reitana gave me had Reitana’s contact information written on it.
It meant that if you wanted to save your sister, contact this place.
“So I’ll wait for a quick answer before it’s too late.”
Leitana waved at me.
“Ahahahaha.”
Then I turned around and left the hospital room laughing happily.
“ha…”
After Reitana left, I put my head down for a moment and let out a small sigh.
It was a cold, heavy sigh, a sigh full of anger.
Now I’m feeling the anger rising to the top of my head for the first time in a while.
Siwoo Lee.
When I was in the middle of my adolescence, I was the type of person who got angry at insignificant things and couldn’t stand a fight if he ignored me even a little bit.
If anyone cursed at me, they cursed twice as much, and when they quarreled with me, a fight took precedence over words.
At that time, it may be because of my personality that I did not want to be ignored, but if I think about it now, it may have been my own self-esteem that I lost my parents from a young age.
I feel it myself, but at the time I was close to a madman.
However, like all childhood personalities, it was bound to change over time.
While crawling on others to protect Lee Si-eun for 7 years, I realized that pride is nothing.
Working as a manager for Yoo Eun-ha, who is famous for her personality, also played a role. Anyway, I’ve become a person who doesn’t get angry at anything.
And I was also satisfied with that character.
If you’re 24, you’re not a child, and you can’t get angry over trivial things.
Because if you’re an adult, you have to live like an adult.
So 17-year-old Lee Si-woo and 24-year-old Lee Si-woo have very different feelings.
The personality that was stale and proud has become a more peaceful and rationalistic personality.
In the end, it can be said that he drank too much of society’s stagnant water.
However, even a country that has drank all the dirty water of society.
Even Nara, who can’t remember the last time she got angry properly.
There is only one thing that I am always angry about.
It is related to Lee Si-eun.
There is a line that people should not cross, and each other lives by keeping that line.
A line that should never be touched.
To me, Lee Si-eun is that line.
But there’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed…
Reitana has now crossed the line that shouldn’t be crossed.
“Siwoo-nim. What’s wrong?”
Some time after Reitana left, someone entered the hospital room.
straightened out.
“Leitana left laughing… what happened?”
Park Jin-ha then asks me worriedly.
He seemed very curious about what Leitana and I were talking about.
“Your sister has been kidnapped.”
I told Park Jin-ha the truth.
It wasn’t something to hide, and it wasn’t something to spend time talking about.
Rather, it was something Park Jin-ha should know.
“Yes… yes…?”
Park Jin-ha was surprised to hear my words.
As if you didn’t expect it at all.
“Is it because of me…? Sin… I’m sorry… Because of me… Did Reitana kidnap your sister because of me?”
“right.”
And gradually, his expression changed to that of fear.
Reitana is in a situation where she kidnapped my sister to get Park Jin-ha.
Park Jin-ha also seems to have roughly noticed the current situation.
“I… I didn’t expect this to happen. I… I’ll just join the church. Siwoo… This… I don’t think this… is.”
Park Jin-ha lowered his head as if his mental state had been shattered and continued talking.
“I was wrong… I’ll just… go in. I’ve caused unnecessary trouble…”
It seems that he did not expect that he would cause trouble to me because of himself.
It was hard to atone for me.
“No. You don’t have to. You didn’t do anything wrong. You don’t want to go in either.”
I stroked Park Jin-ha’s hair.
Park Jin-ha bowed his head as if he had done something wrong, but Park Jin-ha did nothing wrong.
The one who did the bad thing in the first place did it wrong.
The guy who didn’t negotiate with the bad guy wasn’t at fault.
Park Jin-ha was also just a victim in the end.
“Ha… But… I just have to sacrifice… I can… I just have to… listen to the order of the church… and do dirty things…”
However, despite my words, Park Jin-ha still continued to speak to me in a trembling voice as if he had done something wrong.
Park Jin-ha’s words ultimately meant that everything would be resolved if he succumbed to the [Cult].
“…”
I thought for a second.
It is certainly one of the good ways for Park Jin-ha to surrender to the [Cult].
If you sell only Park Jin-ha, nothing will roll easier than that.
“No. You can destroy it, but why are you joining the church?”
But, that won’t work either.
The reason is not that I want to protect Park Jin-ha, whom I saw for the first time today.
It was simply anger at having touched his sister.
“And even though I was humiliated like this, I can never get over it.”
I spoke coldly.
When you think of Reitana right now, you feel very disgusted and crazy.
In the first place, Reitana would know some information about me, and maybe some information about my sister.
Of course, you know how much I value Lee Si-eun.
And yet, he dared to touch my sister.
This is not something you can just go through.
It’s the same as the meaning of scraping my ego to the floor.
I also have self-esteem.
To protect my sister is to protect it, but to protect it.
What my ego can’t tolerate is what it can’t tolerate.
So, I have no choice but to let you know for sure.
What will happen if you touch my ego.
“Siwoo-sama…! Four… The other party is the church. That’s… of course…”
Seeing me like this, Park Jin-ha spat out words in embarrassment.
Certainly, Park Jin-ha’s words could be very true.
The church is never a group that can be looked down upon.
It is one of the three largest guilds in Korea.
Originally, it was clear that it was absurd to attack like this.
However…
“I know.”
It doesn’t seem like losing.
If it is the current country.
“Chuchcha!”
I got up from my seat.
and took off the patient’s gown.
I found my clothes and put them on.
“Aww…!”
Looking at me like that, Park Jin-ha looked back as if he was embarrassed.
It is true that the current situation is quite embarrassing.
Originally, I would have changed clothes somewhere else, but unfortunately, now is not the time to argue about such things, so I hope you understand.
“Jinha, you said you had plenty of time today, right? Will you follow me?”
“Yes? Yes. Of course, Mr. Siwoo.”
After changing my clothes, I thought of what Park Jin-ha had said before and asked.
Park Jin-ha, who has just been promoted to S-class, will definitely be out of work for a while.
Fortunately, when I asked Park Jin-ha, Park Jin-ha readily answered.
“Then let’s take care of ourselves for the day.”
“yes…”
I left the hospital room door.
And they followed me like this.
“But where are you going? Do you know where your sister is being held?”
As I followed him, Park Jin-ha asked me with a curious expression.
“There’s a place to guess.”
I answered Park Jin-ha’s question.
