Regressor Instruction Manual Episode 894
Vacation (12)
I want to ask what he was doing here and give him a piece of my mind. I was curious about how the guy who I kicked out, saying "go make money," ended up coming here. But right now, I couldn't even put it into words, my head was half paralyzed from the sudden situation.
'Sh*t.'
Of course, Kim Hyun-sung's expression was no different. If you asked which one of us was more flustered, it wouldn't be me but him.
From Kim Hyun-sung's perspective, wasn't his encounter with Lee Ki-yeon like a dreamlike story? A precious relationship that lasted only a short while, precious memories that he wanted to regain, and all that was left was a single shoe and the memory of a uneasy night.
Although Kim Hyun-sung's face had a complex expression mixed with all those emotions, it wasn't an appropriate environment for a calm conversation. Furthermore, it seemed like this guy wasn't even looking at Jin Cheong or Lee Ji-hoo, his eyes fixed on me, trying to choose what to say.
'This is a big problem. Really. Isn't it a real mess?'
I had no choice but to think of a way to handle this.
'Oh, Lee Ji-hoo is just excited.'
"Who the hell are you, you piece of shit?"
I didn't even bother to think about what Jin Cheong would do. This guy was also quite flustered.
-Lee Ki-young... This son of a b*tch. What the hell is happening?
I didn't know either. Sh*t. But you should have a rough idea, right?
"Are you okay, noona?"
-This is ridiculous! How did I get caught up in some stupid sh*t again? Answer me, Lee Ki-young.
"I'm asking you, Noona."
Don't pressure me too much, both of you. My head is already messed up enough.
Lee Ji-hoo's emotions were already on the verge of exploding, and he was adding to the realism of this drama with his intense performance. His face showed the anxiety of wondering what might have happened while he was away. He looked very restless and uneasy, his breathing rough. He seemed to have completely immersed himself in his role, showing a typical male lead who is worried about Lee Ki-yeon and regrets his own past actions. His desperate face had a magical power that even made other actors focus on him.
Without realizing it, I find myself taking a step back. I apologize to the lord and say that I've had something precious taken away from me by this man, that I'm no longer the lord's Ik-Yeon. I even say that the Lee Ki-Yeon the Young master knew before might not exist anymore.
Although the time we spent apart was short, we have to compress it since there's a schedule to follow. In reality, I suffered for at least two or three months under this untrustworthy man. It seems like something that noona would write in a novel.
His face was full of many things.
-You son of a bitch! Lee Ki-Young! Son of a bitch!
Of course, as Jin-Cheong looks at my face, he realizes that his hunch was right and begins to go berserk.
[A normal-grade forced quest has been created.]
[I'm really sorry, General. Please just look the other way this one time. Noona and I went on vacation, and things got a little complicated. I'll repay you later if you could just let me be within my abilities. You don't have to do anything. Just act like you usually do.]
[The normal-grade quest is passed on to Jin-Cheong. The quest reward has not been registered, so player Jin-Cheong cannot receive it.]
-I'm going to...
[I'm really serious about this. It may seem like I'm joking, but it's an urgent situation. Really, it's urgent. Oh, what about this? We're supposed to work together, right? (0/1)]
-I don't remember agreeing to work with you.
[Honestly, I want to do it too. It's annoying to have everything left to me, and it's annoying not to know what's going on. People like us are sensitive to that kind of thing. I'll let you work in the position that you want to, with plenty of support and as many solo projects as possible. In other words, autonomy is guaranteed. We'll just cut off the Republic's side. (0/1)]
-....
[You're interested, right? You're interested. I'm not asking for anything difficult. Just stay the way you are. Don't do anything. (0/1)]
I think it's better if you don't say anything. When I think of the hero of shadows, there's no way I can put this guy in the main spotlight for a highlight scene like this. With his sullen face and arrogant expression, just maintaining his stance of superiority will make a satisfactory picture for Jihye. He has a villainous face, you know. I don't hear any response. I don't know if he's considering it or if he's doing what I said, but his face seems to explain everything in this situation. Since his face itself looks like that of a villain, the flow continues without the need for lines.
"Come here, Nuna."
"... "
"Young Master..."
"Come here."
It's like I'm being blocked from going to Jincheong.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry. I am..."
"I told you to come here, Nuna."
A subtle confrontation. Kim Hyun-seong, who is waiting for this subtle confrontation, seems to realize that there is something going on.
"I don't know what's going on, but I can't just watch."
No, you could just watch... Hyun-seong-ah...
Kim Hyun-seong looks at Jincheong. I can't quite picture the image of the two of them talking.
Even though they've ended up in this situation, the fact that they're not saying anything to each other stands out. They're maintaining an awkward distance as if they were meeting for the first time, without even asking how each other is doing or why they're here.
It's better this way. If the two of them get involved here, the situation could get even more complicated.
"Where to go is up to Ki-yeon. She doesn't belong to anyone, after all. I don't know what the relationship is between you and Ki-yeon, but..."
"..."
"Ki-yeon."
Whatever happens, it's right for Kim Hyun-seong to send them away. It's too dangerous. Damn it.
I look at Kim Hyun-seong with a feeling of longing, with a face that conveys a lot. What Ki-yeon chose, with tightly closed lips, is to run away.
'Let's just step back for now.'
It makes sense.
She would not have wanted to show herself with Jincheong, having an inexplicable feeling towards Lee Ji-hoo. Kim Hyun-seong would have felt the same way.
Jincheong alone has done enough damage just by staring at Ji-hoo with a villainous smile in that spot.
Wouldn't it be realistic to say that she couldn't bear it anymore and left this place in a hurry?
[A compulsory quest of normal grade is created.]
[Please give me a moment. I'm not expecting anything big. Just a moment is enough. Could you please help me with traffic control? You don't have to worry about Kim Hyun-sung. He'll probably be back soon. (0/1)
[Relaying a quest of the regular level to Jin-cheong. The clear reward for the quest has not been registered. Player Jin-cheong will not receive the reward.]
As soon as I turned the corner, I disappeared from sight. I could hear someone calling out "Ki-yeong noona!" but quickly opened my phone to send a message.
-Hyun-sung. Could you come here for a moment?
The sender was, of course, Ki-young, who was close to Hyun-sung due to their bond of sacrifice and resurrection.
-I have something urgent to tell you...and I think I might have been too harsh. I want to apologize while we eat. I've made a reservation at a nice restaurant. I'm also curious about how you've been doing. It's been a while since we've seen each other.
It wasn't easy to send the message while panting so hard that I felt like I was going to pass out.
I couldn't tell if Jin-cheong was doing a good job of stalling or if he had read my message.
He might not have read it yet, or he might not have received it, so I decided to send it again.
And...
That's where I had to stop.
I have to make Hyun-sung curious. That would be more effective.
If he read the message, he would come running right away. I knew that Hyun-sung wouldn't betray Lee Kiyoung for Bitch Ki-yeon.
I ran so frantically that I didn't even know where I was.
The only thing that was certain was that everything around me was a mess. It was a complete disaster because all the brats were running around. It was a total mess.
I felt a slight vibration on my phone at that moment.
'He's here.'
-I'm really sorry, Ki-young
"What?"
-I have nothing to say. I'm really...sorry. I want to come right now, but something urgent has come up. I can't tell you right now, but it's really urgent. I'll try to be there within three hours. I'm really sorry...really sorry.
-Yes?
'What the hell are you doing, you jerk?'
I raised you, damn it. Are you betraying me?
-Yes. Then keep doing what you're doing. ^^ I must have been bothering you. ^^
You son of a bitch. This bad jerk. Let's see why he's not coming even after reading this message.
-Not at all, it's not bothering me. I'm actually glad you contacted me like this. I'll do my work well and go back, as you said, Kiyoung.
This jerk probably doesn't even know why I sent that emoji. I should speak more directly. I have to say it directly for him to understand.
I raised my hand with the mirror urgently once again, but I had to put it back in my pocket as Kim Hyun-seong approached me.
It's not easy to blend in with people. Just keep turning corners and keeping distance, even the expression "keeping distance" is ridiculous. Let's prepare for tears or a fight if needed.
Sure enough, not long after, a hand grabbed my shoulder. I looked at Kim Hyun-seong with tears in my eyes.
Kim Hyun-seong, who was hesitating, came into my view.
I slapped his hand once again and it fell weakly. But did he realize where he was?
I grabbed his sleeve again. The fabric naturally tore when I exerted force.
And the mark that appeared. It seemed to indicate that Lee Ki-yeon's life so far had not been easy.
"Ms. Ki-yeon?"
First, damn it, I have to slap him.
"Smack."
"Ah..."
"How much more are you going to make me miserable?"
"Do you still think I don't belong to anyone?"
"Are you disappointed not to have a desired reunion?"
"..."
"Are you disappointed in how I've changed like this?"
"....."
First, let's lash out. He can't do anything if I lash out at him.
"Do you think I'm a stupid girl?"
"...."
"Why did you show up in front of me? Sob... Why? Why!"
First, another slap.
There's no reason. I just hit him.
"Smack"
