Theatrical Regression Life - Chapter 210

Episode 210

Lee Jae-heon was a person who lived his life pretending to plan a lot of things, so this meeting with Choi Min-hong was not that strange. From the beginning, didn’t you try to talk to the one you met first, the main character or the Choi family?

Nevertheless, Lee Jae-heon couldn’t help but be a little embarrassed by the current situation.

“Come in!”

“…I don’t think I’m causing a needless nuisance on the weekend…”

“No, what can I say? You also saved our Minhong. On the contrary, I felt really bad because we broke up like that last time. “I couldn’t even thank you properly, but you don’t know how happy I am to meet you like this.”

“Haha….”

There was a sunfish here too.

As can be seen from the conversation, the woman who dragged Jaeheon Lee almost by the collar was the person who ran to Minhong Choi from the previous car accident. Lee Jae-heon sat me down on a chair in front of the table and looked at the woman serving tea, stroking the head of Choi Min-hong, who was massaging one of his hands.

‘I thought they were my parents, but maybe they were relatives?’

When Jaeheon Lee called ‘Minhong’s mother,’ the other person shook his head. She was Choi Min-hong’s aunt, not his mother, and in other words, the younger sister of President Choi Jeong-man. I thought she was my mother because she looked like Choi Min-hong, but she actually looked like Choi Jeong-man.

“….”

Anyway, I guess the situation here is not normal.

“Mister, this hand too.”

“You’re so opinionated, Minhong.”

“They said that in order to survive in this harsh world, I had to take care of my share.”

“Who gave me such wise teachings?”

He obediently extended his other hand to the child. Lee Jae-heon, whose hands were suddenly restrained, pretended to be calm and calmed his rumbling stomach, and a woman who brought strawberries and oranges in a large bowl sat across from him.

She tied up her curly hair and opened her mouth.

“I contacted my brother and my child’s father. I’ll give up my business and come back soon, so could you wait a little while? “I was really surprised that Minhong almost got into an accident and said I wanted to say hello.”

“Is that so?”

This guy also went to work. It’s like these crazy modern people.

“I told him to get some rest because he seemed to be in a bad mood these days, perhaps because of the almost-accident with the baby, but he didn’t listen. “If I had been sitting here, I would have played with Minhong and met Jaeheon Lee right away.”

I roughly understood that my condition was not good.

‘The accident was an accident, but wasn’t it because of the aftereffects of the other side of the world?’

Nevertheless, it was surprising that the business did not close down. Lee Jae-heon had nothing to be afraid of because of his past life, and Ha Seong-yoon was already used to it thanks to his friend who was a survivor of the underworld, so even if he went to work, what on earth are the other survivors doing? Are they truly talented people who were able to maintain their sanity even in the hidden world?

As he was muttering to himself, Choi Min-hong grabbed Lee Jae-heon and shook him.

“uncle Uncle.”

“What is happening?”

“This is a gift.”

Rustling.

A crumpled piece of plastic came up in his hand.

“….”

No, I correct myself. It was a pretty neatly folded plastic ticket.

“Uh… well done. “Did Minhong make it himself?”

“Yeah, no. yes. “I did well.”

“Wow, it was folded up nicely. thanks.”

As expected, it was difficult to understand the mental world of young children. Anyway, it was given as a gift, and Minhong’s guardian’s face was also filled with surprise, so it probably meant something good. It didn’t seem like he had given it to me with any intention of disposing of the trash, so I quietly put the plastic ticket in my inner pocket.

The woman who was staring at Lee Jae-heon smiled happily and said.

“Do you have any self-control?”

“No, not yet….”

“Then you’ll be a good dad.”

Probably not.

“Thank you for a good look. “Minhong is very friendly.”

Jaeheon Lee drew the smile of an ideal guardian on his lips. Something that could easily have been overlooked must have been rejected or a sense of duty to the extent of saying, “I am not your mother,” but judging from her attitude of caring for Choi Min-hong, who is not even her own child, it seemed like it was probably the latter. My intention was to leave a good impression in case I saw him often as I traveled back and forth between the two worlds.

The woman smiled softly and continued speaking, as if Lee Jae-heon’s intention had worked.

“That’s because Minhong has an eye for people. “This is the first time I’ve seen someone receive that ticket as a gift.”

This person seemed to have a lot of thoughts, too, as he was humble and praised the child by saying things like ‘he is not friendly’ or ‘he is very shy’, but rather complimenting him by saying ‘he has an eye for people’. Lee Jae-heon, who became ‘a good person who passed the standard for a child with an eye for people’, smiled awkwardly.

“The child has excellent manual dexterity.”

“That’s right, he’s versatile. He’s smart… but sometimes he does clever things, and that’s how cute he is. But he’s not the kind of kid who gets close to anyone easily.”

“Aha….”

“That kid suddenly ran out and said, ‘Mister!’ And then we catch just who.”

A cheerful and bright smile spreads across the woman’s face.

“Minhong has good observation skills, and I think he also has a good memory. I never thought I would recognize the person who helped me at a glance. “I’m so glad I got to greet you officially like this.”

“Is that so.”

“Thank you so much.”

And for a brief moment, the smile faded.

“Jae-heon Lee not only saved Min-hong, but also two other people.”

He is probably referring to the woman in front of him and President Choi Jeong-man.

‘Well, in the original novel… President Choi Jeong-man was quite sensitive from the beginning.’

Choi Jeong-man was a man with a large body and an energetic personality that suited his physique, but the story would have been a little different if it had been right after his beloved son had suffered a cruel accident. I haven’t had an accident yet, but I almost did. Then, it was explained why CEO Choi Jeong-man, a relatively ordinary human being, was able to come to his senses in the secret world. It means that you care about your family that much.

As Lee Jae-heon was thinking about the Choi family, the woman who was wiggling her fingers and rolling her eyes cautiously opened her mouth.

“But… after you left like that.”

“Oh yeah.”

“They said the driver had a bandage with someone else’s blood on it.”

Oops.

‘It’ll be a pain if you meddle again.’

When he made a slightly embarrassed expression, the woman nodded, wondering what she thought. When I felt relieved that there was no sign of going too deep, the other person smiled softly again.

“I just thought he was a very kind person.”

“….”

“I’ll tell you again when my father comes, but thank you.”

The woman said that and took out an envelope.

“…What… are you doing?”

“Still, you saved my child’s life, so I have to thank you like this…”

“Put it away. “No need.”

“We are also shameless, and although we are weak, if you accept it….”

“I will only accept your heart.”

As expected, he is a stubborn person who pretends not to be the case. Those bloodshot eyes, as if they were saying, ‘If you look away, I’ll just put my sleeves in,’ were enough to give me goosebumps. Lee Jae-heon didn’t bother to hide his strange expression and closed his coat with pockets. It was a declaration that he would not accept it.

The woman who had narrowed her eyes at him smiled again.

“You’re so stubborn.”

Who’s going to say anything?

“I can’t help it. It’s rude to keep imposing only my opinion…” “

…Thank you?”

“But can you avoid my brother?”

Why are you doing this?

* * *

And right after CEO Jeong-man Choi came into the house, Jae-heon Lee had to be held in the arms of a man who didn’t even exist.

“Oh my gosh, teacher!”

Please don’t do this.

“…Really calm down….”

“Our Minhong! “I miss our Minhong…!”

“No, please.”

Lee Jae-heon’s physique was large, but to be exact, it was because of his long stature and thick bones with muscles on top, and he was not very meaty. If I were to be honest, Jaeheon Lee, who was on the thin side, was hugged by CEO Jeongman Choi, who had a sturdy physique, and his body started shaking in an instant.

Of course, it wasn’t a very pleasant situation since he had the dignity of a grown man.

“Let’s start with this…”

“Thank you so, so much. Really…what I really have to say….”

“….”

Aha.

Jaeheon Lee belatedly realized the cause of the current situation.

‘I guess it was only after I escaped from the other side that I realized that I had saved Choi Min-hong.’

The car accident that Choi Min-hong and Lee Jae-heon experienced was discussed in the last episode, and there was no mention of it in the episode just before. It is said that as soon as Choi Min-hong first encountered him in the secret world, he let go of his guard and embraced him, but that did not give details about the situation. At most, the only story that came out was that ‘we met on a bad note.’

Moreover, the ones who know about the traffic accident are Lee Jae-heon and Choi Min-hong, who are directly involved, and Jung In-ho, Ha Seong-yoon, and Kang Min-ah, who remember the last episode where they heard about the situation… They’re not the kind of people who would bring up a topic like this. At least Jaeheon Lee kept prevaricating, so the others must have been similar. It was understandable that President Choi Jeong-man did not know Lee Jae-heon’s identity until the end.

“I’m so sorry and thankful…”

I guess he feels indebted to the fact that he used that person as bait to take several laps around the park. To be honest, it seemed closer to guilt, but President Choi Jeong-man had not done anything wrong, so Lee Jae-heon erased the word ‘guilt’ from his mind.

He blinked slowly and whispered quietly so that the woman could not hear.

“…I’m glad you look healthy.”

“…Hmm….”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Although the woman watching from behind was embarrassed, Lee Jae-heon maintained a calm expression.

The burden of having to survive in that harsh world with your beloved child must have been considerable. It must have felt like a very heavy burden compared to other people who had to protect themselves, or teacher Lee Yun-byeol, who only had responsibility as a teacher. He eventually decided to understand President Choi Jeong-man, who was shedding tears.

‘Because the first survivor I meet after returning to reality must have been special.’

In short, we are friends who share secrets. That was also what Jaeheon Lee needed.

“Oh brother…! Jaeheon Lee, you’re embarrassed. “Suddenly rude…”

In fact, the behavior of the woman who grabbed Lee Jae-heon by the collar and dragged him to his home was not without rudeness, but this too was overlooked leniently. It was Lee Jae-heon, who was also an old guy.

“I’m sorry, that guy isn’t such a mean person.”

“it’s okay.”

“Oh really. “It was like a grown cub crying…”

The woman clicked her tongue but pulled out some tissues for her brother. President Choi Jeong-man, who was crying, whether he was naturally very sensitive or because he had a lot of hard work these days, accepted it naturally. I was able to understand the relationship between this family as they didn’t even deny the younger brother’s criticism.

Lee Jae-heon glanced at Choi Min-hong, who was starting to rub his hands again, and was inwardly worried.

“Oh really, stop crying…! “What can Minhong watch and learn from?”

“Off… Men are supposed to be very sensitive…”

“What are you talking about? “Minhong’s level is perfect. Why are you trying to teach me something like that?”

“Do you like me just fine?”

How should I control this chaotic family?

If you buy the right trust, there will definitely be a time when it will be put to use…
