Theatrical Regression Life - Chapter 235

Episode 235:

Around 5:27 am.

“Deputy Jeong?”

“Boss.”

Lee Jae-heon, who woke up from a strange dream and was sitting on the sofa, encountered Jeong In-ho. Considering that he woke up at the right time even though he was put in a different room than me, I thought that he must have woken up when he heard the sound of Lee Jae-heon opening the door, or that it was just a coincidence that he woke up right now since the soundproofing is good.

Jeong In-ho approached Lee Jae-heon, who was naturally analyzing why the other person woke up.

“Why aren’t you sleeping…? “Are you feeling okay?”

“it’s okay.”

“Do not lie.”

“If you don’t believe me, why did you ask?”

“Ideology verification?”

“What’s going on in Malbonsae? “Are you half asleep?”

“maybe…?”

Seeing Jung In-ho in a half-asleep state, Lee Jae-heon thought that the hypothesis that ‘it really happened by chance’ would be more valid. I’ve never read that the main character is weak to sleep, but he fell asleep after playing until 2 o’clock and woke up now, so of course he would be sleepy.

Lee Jae-heon looked at the other person with a pitiful look.

“Then what should I do if I don’t sleep any more? “It’s not like he took sick leave like me.”

“…Why are you awake, Manager?”

Even then, it was extremely disgusting. Even in his sleepy state, didn’t he have doubts about Lee Jae-heon’s actions? He was a ridiculous guy who would just sleep when he was sleepy.

“I had an annoying dream so I came out for a moment.”

“An annoying dream?”

“It was a dream about a child named older brother.”

“That… why are you annoyed?”

“Deputy Jeong is an only child, right?”

“yes.”

“Then you won’t know how I feel.”

Jeong In-ho’s face, which was still sleepy, became shaken.

“I know… I heard that most brothers don’t get along, but isn’t that what you said in that context?”

“I’m glad that In-ho Jeong is a person who can think.”

“Any human being can think. “With a few exceptions.”

It seemed like he was really sleepy as he followed along with his nonsense.

“But aren’t you too awake for that…? “If it was just an annoying dream, wouldn’t you have gone back to sleep?”

“You disgusting bastard.”

“yes?”

“it’s nothing.”

Isn’t the sleepy horn pretending to be sleepy as a part of the baby? Why do you have so many questions when you look like you’re dying of sleepiness? I’m going to go back in and sleep.

‘Well… it seems like he thinks he had a nightmare or something.’

Unfortunately, it was really just a dream. When Lee Jae-hyung appeared, I just dreamed of imitating the group dance that Han Do-yoon did at the last survivor meeting. To be honest, if something was this horrific, even if it was a trivial dream, I couldn’t help but wake up. It was quite scary when I dreamed it.

However, Jaeheon Lee kept his mouth shut because it was funny to say something like that in this atmosphere.

“….”

“Chief?”

“Wait a minute… think about it.”

“What is there to worry about…?”

Immediately after finding out that all ten fingernails had been pulled out yesterday, the chicks also learned of the wounds on Lee Jae-heon’s neck. Well, it must have been unavoidable since the most distinctive piece of clothing other than the gloves was the Polar T-shirt. Each of the chicks who checked up to that point seemed to have their own imaginations running wild. Lee Jae

-heon,

I’m not sure what they’re thinking, but…

In fact, it was a nightmare.

“…It wasn’t really a dream, so let’s go back and sleep. it’s okay.”

“…If you’re not sleeping yet, isn’t it okay?”

“Even if it’s okay.”

It was right to deny it, believing that the more I said this, the more doubts would deepen.

‘Worry more, you main character.’

I’m so worried that I feel like I’m going to die, so when I completely escape from the other side of the world, I’ll take you with me. Contrary to his intentions, Lee Jae-heon stood up with a ‘face that was trying hard to hide his fatigue’ and pushed him on the back.

“I will wake you up when the time is right, so please sleep some more. Since it’s close to work, you can sleep longer than usual. “It would be better not to waste time worrying about nothing.”

“I’m worried for no reason. Even after checking your hands and neck, you still have a nosebleed. “Don’t you remember the temperature that came out when you checked your temperature yesterday?”

“I remember 38.5℃.”

He raised his voice in a light tone.

“Thanks to you, I was treated like a kimbap roll by our Noh Yeon-seok and Ha Seong-yoon. I was thrown straight into bed. “Even if I had told you, I would have quietly gone and slept, but thanks to you, I have come to know how those who are kidnapped feel.”

“I guess you’ve already been kidnapped… um. You may have misunderstood our intentions, but it really was a genuine visit to the hospital. Ha Seong-yoon said he specializes in surgery, but he is basically a doctor. Even the hand injury was an external wound. “If you have any pain, please say it properly and don’t scare people.”

“I understand, so please go in and sleep.”

“I guess you just understood….”

“Ha-geuk-sang?”

“….”

Jeong In-ho, who let out a deep sigh after being pushed on his back, eventually returned to the guest room. Seeing that the creepy smile, which can be said to be the main character’s signature expression, never stopped showing, he seemed really sleepy. Well, in reality, there is a limit to what you can endure with your mental strength.

Lee Jae-heon blinked as he pushed Jeong In-ho into a room full of men.

“…Ha….”

I felt like I was going crazy from the heat that filled my head.

“It’s so hot, I’m going to rummage around.”

After muttering that, Jaeheon Lee took off the outer clothes covering his body and walked towards the bathroom.

This time, while going down to Busan to go fishing, I had many wounds all over my body. From a minor scratch to a major injury to the internal organs due to being stabbed with a knife. Before the chicks arrived, a doctor sent by Lee Jae-hyung came and treated them again, but since they did not have regenerative abilities, they could not recover quickly. What Lee Jae-heon chose was to cover his entire body with clothes.

Of course, part of the wound was revealed yesterday, but…

‘I had no choice but to show my hands and neck, but it’s a bit difficult to show everything else.’

Thanks to that, I was wearing long pants and long sleeves, so I felt a bit hot, but it wasn’t something I should show to the girls. It might not have been known if it were a secret world where everyone was divided equally, but in reality, chicks’ characteristic fuss would be even greater.

Lee Jae-heon frowned as he gently stroked his wrist, which still had dark bruises.

“When will this go away?”

Anyway, it was very inconvenient to have a body without the ability to regenerate. I like the fact that there is only one life, but ultimately Jaeheon Lee cannot die. It was a really annoying environment.

Of course, it is not good for water to get into the affected area, and even though he had taken a bath instead of a shower on Monday, he received a strange look from the doctor. However, Lee Jae-heon shook off the gauze and small bandage that the unknown doctor had put on the affected area and went into the bathroom again. After taking a shower with ice-cold water like last time and soaking in a large bathtub for a while, quite some time had passed. When he felt the pain in his head dulling, he came out of the bathroom.

Just as I dried my hair and got dressed, I heard a knock on the bedroom door.

“Chief, are you awake?”

“…Kang Min-ah?”

At the cautious call, Jaeheon Lee opened the door and looked at Minah Kang. Kang Min-ah blinked as if wondering what was going on and opened her mouth with a puzzled look on her face.

“I want to take a shower before going to work, but men are already using one of the restrooms.”

“So you came here to use this? There must be three bathrooms…”

Lee Jae-heon, who was recalling the layout of his house step by step, let out an exclamation.

“Well, there’s nothing in the bathroom down the hallway. “I remembered.”

Lee Jae-heon mainly uses the bathroom next to the bedroom, and I never thought of having guests over. There are many rooms that are in good condition that are never used, so what’s different about the bathroom? If you use someone, you can easily replenish supplies, but I remember having someone coming in and out of my house was a hassle, so I had to kick them out.

‘Thanks to this, the bathroom in the hallway is empty.’

Jaeheon Lee nodded obediently.

“It might be a hassle because the water hasn’t dried yet, but I’ve washed it all, so you can use it comfortably. “There are cosmetics on the mirror in front of the bathroom, so use them if you need them.”

“…thank you. But…”

“Yes?”

“If you wash when you’re not feeling well, your condition will get worse, Manager.”

“…Oh yeah.”

“It’s really bad. “You’ll probably have more fever.”

“Is that so….”

“If you feel uncomfortable, put plastic gloves on your hands and just wash your hair….”

“Aren’t you going to wash your hair, Chief Kang?”

When I asked with a puzzled face, Kang Min-ah looked at me with a strange look and then quietly headed towards the bathroom. It was a very disrespectful look, but I decided not to argue. If I was in my usual condition, I would have teased them and teased them, but unfortunately, I wasn’t in the right condition to do that right now. Even though I liked what it looked like, it still had a weak body.

I sighed softly and was about to move to the living room sofa when I heard a sound coming from the bathroom.

“What?”

“Boss.”

Sigh.

Kang Min-ah grabbed both of my forearms and giggled, her eyes shining.

“Why is the bathroom cold?”

“…what?”

“Let alone the smell of blood, why is it cold?”

Isn’t the smell of blood usually the first thing to hit?

‘I had a nosebleed yesterday as well, so I guess they thought I had another nosebleed in the bathroom…’

Anyway, I was fortunate that the wounds on my stomach and legs didn’t seem to be noticed. Lee Jae-heon, who muttered inwardly, answered without bothering to hide his embarrassment.

“…Is that because you washed it in cold water…?”

“….”

“Chief Kang?”

“Inho sir! Teacher Ha Seong-yoon!”

“Mr. Kang Min-ah…!”

Water temperature is a matter of personal preference.

Lee Jae-heon, who could not bear those words, ended up nagging twice as much.

* * *

That evening, Lee Jae-heon, who called the doctor again and received treatment, was lying on the sofa.

“My ears hurt…”

My ears hurt because of Ha Seong-yoon calling the chicks in the morning, at lunchtime, and the doctor visiting my house in the evening. How come they nag so much? It was ridiculous to be scolded for the temperature of the water while doing this. So they all shower at the same temperature?

However, Lee Jae-heon was not completely without pricks.

“The fever is getting worse.”

My tired body was already bleeding and I had a fever, but I was soaked in chillingly cold water, so it was natural for me to have a fever. However, Lee Jae-heon also had his own excuse.

In his previous life, Jaeheon Lee never caught a cold. So did the people around him. Of course, now it is not a simple cold, but the result of a complex mixture of causes such as body aches, bleeding, and mental burden, but in Lee Jae-heon’s eyes, it is no different from a cold. So his excuse was that he was looking at the current situation a bit funny.

“And water temperature is personal preference…ha really.”

Actually, I had no idea that the situation would get this much worse just because it was a bit cold. I knew it rationally, but I forgot about it for a moment. This happened because Lee Jae-heon, in his current life, rarely suffered from miscellaneous diseases such as colds.

Jaeheon Lee became frustrated and covered his eyes with both hands.

“I shouldn’t be like this…”

It would have been difficult to continue like this.

“How can I leave the company with such a monster?”

In front of Lee Jae-heon, who was mumbling like that, a black, translucent monster was looking at him. As I saw on Monday, it was the shape of a woman who bore an extreme resemblance to my wife from my previous life.

These monsters are created depending on how strong the individual survivor’s thoughts are. However, rather than suddenly popping out, it feels like it is accumulating and becoming stronger. Given the setting of ‘Lee Jae-heon’, who has been in and out of the underworld since he was young, it wouldn’t be that strange if a monster came out before the other chicks. There is no problem with probability.

The problem was that other chicks could also see this monster.

“What should I do if the fuss gets worse?”

Although it could not directly affect them, they could at least know that Lee Jae-heon created this. It was said that they usually hang around the survivor who created the monster.

‘I guess it’s a good thing that it was created when there were no chicks.’

This monster reappeared around the time the chicks went to work and the doctor visited the house again. I was lucky this time and didn’t see this monster, but of course I had no choice but to check it out when I got to work tomorrow.

And these monsters were able to directly harm the survivors who created them.

“It’s a good thing that other employees won’t see it, but…”

I was worried that I could not react to pain in this mental state.

At that time, the gaze of not only the chicks but also other employees was a problem. Right now the monster is behaving docilely and just torments you, but you won’t know it later. If there was a serious injury, it didn’t seem like the chicks who saw it would be able to maintain their composure.

The biggest problem among them was the monster’s external appearance.

“…only if it takes on that shape.”

It was obvious that Lee Jae-heon himself would not be able to handle it, as it resembled my wife so much. It enjoyed tormenting Lee Jae-heon, but he could not kill it.

However, I was afraid of the survivors’ reaction if I went to the company.

“….”

Do you think I’m crazy?
