chapter 41
41 – Let’s get it right first.
Episode 41
[‘Memories of Possibilities’ has been used!]
In front of Autumn’s eyes, a message appeared that he had seen a year ago.
However, it seemed that things had changed a bit since then.
‘… At that time, I think there were words like “You were selected as an appropriate target” written on it?’
Ga Eul was lost in her thoughts when she heard a familiar voice.
“… Are you ignoring me like Gahyeon?”
“… yes?”
Let’s look around in surprise.
An unforgettable sight unfolded before my eyes.
Father watching with bloodshot eyes.
Gahyeon looks at her father with resentful eyes even though she can’t breathe properly because of the pain.
It was on the verge of the worst tragedy of her life.
‘… Are you back in the past?’
Her common sense had yet to accept this miraculous situation.
From Autumn’s point of view, it felt like time travel without context.
But my father didn’t wait for that fall.
It arose suddenly, as we had seen before, and began striding towards autumn.
Fall, whose trauma was recreated, was terrified and threw objects around him, screaming reflexively.
There was a sound of a flying object hitting the window and breaking, but that was all.
It had no effect on stopping my father’s steps.
She resisted as much as she could when her father tried to grab her neck with trembling hands, but the fall’s strength was not enough to stop her.
“How much have I given up! … If it weren’t for you guys. “If it weren’t for you guys!”
Through the suffocating breath, I saw Gahyeon stand up and grab the table while clutching her painful stomach.
She forced out words through her blocked breath.
“Gahyeon… , not… “It’s okay.”
However, Gahyeon showed no signs of stopping.
It was the same as back then.
Even if I went back to the past, nothing changed.
Nightmares keep repeating themselves.
I don’t know who gave this miracle, but it seemed clear that he was very resentful of Ga Eul.
Otherwise, there’s no way I’d have to inflict this kind of pain twice.
Autumn was in despair.
“Kids don’t lift scary things like that.”
It was that moment.
The man who had freed his father’s hand that was strangling him with a graceful movement and hurt him threw a piggyback throw.
“Ugh!”
“I threw it on top of the pile of blankets, so it probably wouldn’t have hurt me too much. So let’s not be too harsh.”
It was a sunbeam.
Seon Tae-yang clicked his tongue as he looked at Yoo Dae-cheol, who collapsed and groaned in pain, then turned his head and looked at Gae-eul with a worried face and said.
“Are you okay, Gaeul? … No, I think that’s a stupid thing to say. Of course it won’t be okay. “I called an ambulance, so let’s just wait a little longer.”
“Oppa Taeyang… .”
“Yes, Gaeul. I’m team leader Sun. Is there anything you want to say?”
Ga Eul had a lot of things she wanted to say to him.
But the moment I saw my father lifting the table behind Taeyang’s back, all those words disappeared from my mind.
The words that came out from the minister were closer to a scream.
“… back! behind!”
Even though Taeyang looked behind him and saw the swinging table, he did not avoid it.
Rather, he spread one arm and hugged Ga Eul as if he were embracing her.
Because of that, I learned why the sun did not avoid autumn.
… It was because of myself.
Even as the sun was protecting the fall, it protected its head with one hand and tried to ward off the blow by leaning its body.
The dining table was shaken by him.
A dull ‘thud’ sound was heard.
It was a scene she had already seen once. It was a scene where the outcome was also known.
Autumn’s heart seemed to stop.
My hands and feet were numb and my breathing became very difficult.
“… ha … Haak.”
It was a symptom of hyperventilation.
Looking at the fall like that, the sun smiled lightly as if to reassure us.
Then, like a lie, her breathing began to return to normal.
He stood up as if nothing had happened, looked at Yoo Dae-cheol and said.
“That thing on the dining table is a weapon. “If you hit it wrong, people die.”
A trickle of blood flowed from Taeyang’s forehead.
He casually wiped the blood from his forehead with the sleeve of his suit and then spoke.
“I’m glad I learned self-defense. “What would have happened if I hadn’t learned it?”
Yoo Dae-cheol, who was looking at the sun with eyes full of alcohol, spoke.
“… “Team Leader Sun, are you also ignoring me?”
Sun Taeyang spoke firmly.
“I don’t ignore it.”
As if he couldn’t hear Seon Taeyang’s answer, Yoo Dae-cheol spoke bitterly to himself.
“Everyone said they lost some money… . “You don’t even know what kind of life I’ve been living!”
He lifted the table once again.
The sun said while looking at Yoo Dae-cheol like that.
“I don’t care what kind of life Ga Eul’s father lived. “What I’m interested in is what kind of influence you have on Gaeul and Gahyeon.”
He bounced the hammer that was lying on the floor with his foot and lifted it up with a cheerful movement and said.
“So let’s get it right for now.”
***
[Quest complete! ‘Sense of the Sword’ will be given as a reward!]
… get it like this
I looked back while confirming the senses of the Sword Saint entering the reward window.
The fight was a melee.
When I narrowed the distance and dragged her out to the infighting so that I couldn’t swing the table, Autumn’s father let go of the table and pinched, scratched, and bit me.
To be honest, rather than beating it coolly, it was more like autumn father holding on until he fell asleep exhausted from a hangover. Even in the middle of it, I tried to beat it with a hammer as much as possible to achieve the quest.
As a result, Autumn’s father was in seemingly good condition, while I had torn clothes and scratch marks here and there. Anyone who sees me looking like this will call me a loser.
It felt a little miserable to have a strong body in his 20s and be pushed aside by a man who looked like he was in his 40s or 50s.
Yes, let go of your pride. I don’t care about practicality.
Other than being carried away, no major harm was done.
So you won’t be sued or taken to the police.
However, while preventing the worst-case scenario, I even received the reward for the difficult quest.
What could be a more perfect ending than this?
“Team leader standing in the world! “What is this?”
But it didn’t seem that way to Cheon A-ram and Seo Su-yeon.
Cheon A-ram made a fuss and wandered around looking for first aid tools.
Seo Soo-yeon was taking pictures of each wound, saying she had to leave evidence.
Both seemed reassuring in different ways.
As soon as I heard the news of the incident, I trembled, feeling grateful to my co-workers who rushed to this place on my way home from work.
“It’s no big deal. “There are no major injuries.”
“It’s no big deal! “There’s blood running down my forehead!”
Cheon A-ram, who started disinfecting the wound with an emergency kit I don’t know where she got it from, said as if she was dumbfounded.
Hey, when did you learn this?
Seo Soo-yeon said while trying to dissuade Cheon A-ram.
“The boss has a paramedic, wouldn’t it be better to leave it to him?”
“Okay, look at my mind. “It occurred to me when I was in the military, and I tried my hand at it.”
army? Did I hear wrong?
As Cheon A-ram widened the distance, Gaeul came and the medical staff who had taken care of Gahyeon and Gaeul’s father came to me and started taking simple measures.
One of the medical staff checking my wounds said with admiration.
“… You handled it very well. I think you should go to the hospital right away. “Are the people who handled it the medical staff?”
“No, you’re the CEO of the entertainment company?”
“… ? But are you this good at handling it?”
“… “I don’t even know?”
The medical staff looked at me as if they didn’t know why.
No, you might not know.
I sometimes get mistaken, but in fact, it hasn’t even been two weeks since I joined Two Bear and got to know Cheon A-ram and Seo Soo-yeon.
… Although I felt like I had experienced too many incidents for something like that.
After the medical staff finished cleaning up, the police came out.
After asking Gaeul and I about the situation and circumstances, the police separated Gaeul’s father, who was presumed to be a suspect, from us.
Only then was I able to talk to Gaeul. Because the police and paramedics came right after the suppression was over, there was no time for conversation.
“Gaeul, can I talk to you for a moment?”
When I called for Gae-gae, she had no time to stop and crawled, holding on to her weak legs.
It was so desperate that it even looked desperate.
… I didn’t want you to go that far.
She carefully touched my face and said, avoiding my wounds as much as possible.
“… “What is this?”
Autumn seemed to be feeling a strong burden.
I answered as cheerfully as possible so as not to worry her too much.
“Autumn. Even though it looks like this, I won. You saw it too, right? Did I swing the mallet three times a second?”
After talking, thinking about it, it didn’t seem like it would sound good from the daughter’s point of view that she fought and won against her real father.
“uh… But now that I think about it, I think I lost by decision. … He was strong. your father It was a movement that made one feel ageless. “I will admit that I was behind on the technical side.”
I said this half-jokingly, hoping to make Gaeul laugh a little, but it only made Gaeul’s tears get worse.
Considering that Winter’s case was similar to this, the suspicion that my sense of humor was good seemed strong.
I will have to restrain myself from now on.
“I’m sorry for talking nonsense.”
I admitted my mistake and quickly apologized.
“Actually, this is not what I wanted to say. I just wanted to ask one question.”
“… “I’ll tell you anything, anything.”
“Gaeul, are you okay?”
“… .”
After hearing my question, Autumn only shed more tears instead of answering.
It was almost like sobbing.
what? Did I say something wrong again?
… Or is something not okay?
“I am… I’m OK. so… ”
Oh, thank goodness.
After hearing that Gae-gae was fine, I collapsed in relief.
“… “Oppa Taeyang?”
To be honest, I was constantly dizzy, as if I had a concussion.
I thought I blocked it well, but I guess blocking the table’s full swing well doesn’t mean you can deal all the damage.
“Oppa Taeyang! no… . no!”
Thanks to my hazy mind, I felt like I would fall asleep right away if I closed my eyes.
I wanted to put everything down and lie down.
Still, I held on. Because I felt reassured when I saw that Gaeul was fine.
“Medical staff, please look here! please! please! “Please!”
And now I felt like I could sleep a little.
