Theatrical Regression Life - Chapter 407
Episode 407:
Sunday, three days after escaping from the other side of the world.
“mister!”
Jaeheon Lee gathered high school students.
Although we all escaped to reality together, students were not allowed to go drinking without their parents’ permission. The same goes for long outings or overnight stays, so he invited young guests who were not invited to the small banquet held by CEO Choi Jeong-man, who made a big splash last time.
“Mister, man, this place is so awesome!”
“Is that so?”
“I didn’t even know a restaurant like this existed!”
Park Da-young, who was unable to participate in the first meeting of the Survivors of the Secret World, was very excited and clung to Lee Jae-heon. The privacy of this restaurant, which was frequented by royals other than Lee Jae-heon, seemed to have touched the young sensibilities of the students.
of students.
“Whoa… whoa… whoa… crazy…”
“Uh uh… can I come to a place like this?”
“Dayoung, take me…!”
Seong Ji-ho, who keeps making frivolous exclamations, and Kim Hee-chan, who seems restless because the environment is too unfamiliar. And Maeng Na-eun clings to Park Da-young like she did when she first saw him in the other world. The eyes wandering here and there didn’t look very comfortable, but the atmosphere was excited with a strange sense of elation.
After completing the guide from the entrance to the room, the waiter bowed his head in a neat posture.
“If you need anything, please call.”
Lee Jae-heon didn’t bother responding and entered the room. This was because the reservation system was cumbersome so Jae-heon Lee, who often used stores with this type of service, was not impressed.
Of course, it was a very unfamiliar and exciting situation for students who lived the lives of ordinary citizens, so we gathered together like penguins and whispered in voices that could be easily heard even if we lowered our tones.
“It’s crazy…”
“I’m in the clearing…”
“Is this… the lives of chaebols…?”
“If you’re done making a fuss, let’s talk about what you want to eat.”
“Oh.”
Seong Ji-ho, who quietly sat down, looked around and said.
“What about the menu?”
“If it’s difficult to decide, should we suggest guidelines? Choose between Korean, Western, Japanese, and Chinese. Personally, I think this restaurant has the best Korean food, but it may be because of my tastes…” “
What about the menu…?”
“Nothing like that.”
“….”
Seong Ji-ho looked back at Kim Hee-chan with his eyes wide open, as if he had heard something unbelievable. It looked like he was asking the wealthiest person among the students gathered, ‘Is there such a thing in the world?’, but Kim Hee-chan, who had been sweating profusely since entering the entrance, slowly shook his head.
“I don’t know… don’t look at me like that…”
“If you don’t know, who will?”
“I’ve been to Far Fine Dining before, but this is the first time I’ve been to a place like this.”
“What the fuck is fine dining?”
Park Da-hoon intervened.
“A damn expensive restaurant.”
“How expensive is it?”
“…One plate costs anywhere from 30,000 won to more?”
“Put a plate on someone’s nose.”
“It’s about taste, not quantity.”
“A real star…”
Seong Ji-ho looked back at Kim Hee-chan.
“So have you been to a restaurant like that?”
“Ah…what should I do?”
“Are you going to eat delicious food alone? “It’s so ridiculous!”
“What kind of loyalty…!”
Park Da-hoon, leaving his immature and bickering classmates behind, spoke to Lee Jae-heon.
“I want Korean food, sir.”
“okay?”
“Because the uncle recommended it to me because it was delicious…”
Park Da-young quickly intervened as he smiled shyly.
“I love Korean food too! “Uncle, I’ll make Korean food too!”
“Don’t copy me, Park Da-young.”
“Trkhz mr? Fuck you, Park Da-hoon. “Are you mean to your sister?”
“Something like an amoeba.”
Jaeheon Lee asked Naeun Maeng as a small conflict arose again.
“What about student Maeng Na-eun?”
“Me? Oh, me too… Korean food too…?”
“I didn’t know kids these days like Korean food so much.”
Just by looking at it, it seemed like he was caught up in the atmosphere, so Jaeheon Lee cut off the flow at this point. This spineless guy.
“Just tell me what you want to eat and what you want to eat. Korean food is something I like, so I’m not forcing it on myself. “Even if I say I recommend it, it doesn’t mean other types of food aren’t delicious, so feel free to say so.”
“But… if we order food that is too different, it will be a hassle for the people who cook it…”
“If these people knew the amount of money they receive from us for a meal, they wouldn’t say ‘it’s a hassle’. “It’s a place where you get the service you pay for, so you don’t have to worry about such trivial things.”
“…No, I wasn’t going to ask. How much is it here?”
When Maeng Na-eun asked seriously, Lee Jae-heon beckoned her over. Lee Jae-heon told the price in the ear of a student who sneaked up on him.
“….”
“….”
“…Really?”
“hmm.”
When Lee Jae-heon nodded at Maeng Na-eun’s face of disbelief, she lowered her head in cold sweat. Then, like Seong Ji-ho, he muttered, ‘This is the life of a chaebol…’ and quietly sat down.
In conclusion, Lee Jae-heon and Park chose Western food for the rest of their dishes.
“please.”
“Please wait a moment.”
The waiter waiting outside the door showed puzzlement and surprise in his eyes as if he was aware of the notoriety of ‘Lee Jae-heon’, but as befits an employee of a private restaurant catering to the royal family, he walked away without making a show.
‘I don’t normally talk back to employees, and there hasn’t been any major issues with this party so far, so the only variable is the students I brought with me… Do you think I’m acting uncharacteristically condescending in front of these guys? At least you know that Jaeheon Lee is giving these students special treatment. ‘I usually never brought students unless they were my nephews.’
I thought to myself about that.
‘This is enough to fit Lee Jae-hyung’s ears.’
As he created his image before entering the secret world, all of the uncharacteristic behavior that Jae-heon Lee was showing now would be heard by Jae-hyung Lee. It doesn’t seem like the snake bastard interfered while in the other world, so the plan must have gone smoothly.
Then, you might think that bringing in students out of nowhere was just the basis for creating new victims for ‘Lee Jae-heon.’ Jaeheon Lee thought that he was acting like a good adult and approaching students, so he decided to eat in peace.
“Wow, course meal….”
“The fucking color is crazy.”
“I’ll accept it for the rest of my life, uncle.”
Jaeheon Lee nodded at the good-natured students who were happy and flattered him.
“If you listen carefully to what you say, I can buy you better things.”
“…that’s a very dangerous thing to hear.”
“Even if these guys just buy me food?”
“Ah, that’s what you’re saying.”
Of course, looking at it objectively, saying things like ‘I’ll treat you better if you’re nice’ was dangerous.
‘Especially if the words are spoken between an adult and a student.’
When an adult gives something to a student, it inevitably becomes a form of praise. Because of this, it seems like a transaction or manipulation rather than simply giving favors. That’s why Seong Ji-ho also chided in and intervened. However, I didn’t really think that ‘Lee Jae-heon’ had impure intentions.
The students already remembered the situation in which ‘Jaeheon Lee’ risked his life to protect us. There is no way that the sacrificial man, who is always reliable and somewhat fierce, would buy food for students for a bad purpose. Memories from the other side of the world, which Lee Jae-hyung, who exists only in reality, cannot grasp, protected the trust between them.
“? I’m a little unfamiliar with the taste of this…”
“It’s not tasty?”
“No, that’s not it. “It’s unfamiliar.”
“It’s my first time eating something this expensive. “This is unfamiliar to me too.”
“Fuck, that’s right…! no wonder!”
Food comes out on time and service is flawless. The eyes of the employees who were putting down the food were slightly shaken by the students’ appearance, which did not seem strange at all despite receiving excessive favor for ‘Lee Jae-heon’. Like veterans, they didn’t show it, but they looked pitiful or worried about the students. On the other hand, the gaze towards Lee Jae-heon was cold, as if he were looking at trash.
From that faint reaction, Jaeheon Lee felt that something had been established.
‘If this is the case, the image I created last time will be able to be established well.’
No matter what he does, no matter how mature and great his actions are, just like the reactions of the survivors who giggle and say, ‘Ah, he’s acting like an old guy again,’ a pillar has been set up that will be judged as, ‘That bastard is trying to attract kids with his good-natured acting again.’ Bringing in students now, feeding them, and taking care of them may be seen as part of that.
Even if this is accomplished well, Lee Jae-heon’s life will become more free. He treated me a little better, as if I felt comfortable physically and mentally when I was acting like an old man, and I was like, ‘What is that guy?’ Because there will be no more noise to hear.
“….”
Therefore, ‘Lee Jae-heon’ could freely move these students’ schools.
“So you don’t plan on changing schools?”
“…yes?”
“There is a good school near our company.”
Isn’t it natural for evil villains to do whatever they want?
“how is it?”
It was Lee Jae-heon who ripped off privacy infringement consent forms from already grown adults.
Moving the habitat of the growing children was a piece of cake.
* * *
Around 9 p.m., when the meal was over.
―Jaeheon… are you really out of your mind?
Sure enough, as if I had been waiting, I received a call from Lee Jae-hyung.
“What do you mean?”
―Hey, are you still putting your hands on a student? Touching babies is perceived worse than touching other people. If this is discovered, what will happen to our party’s reputation?
“Oh, as long as you don’t get caught, that’s fine. “I felt a little pity for the kids and they were so special, so I bought them a meal…”
While grumbling, Lee Jae-heon smiled slightly.
The restaurant employee who properly relayed the news to Lee Jae-hyung was also admirable, and the naive students who believed in ‘Lee Jae-heon’ until the end despite showing kindness that crossed the line several times were also very admirable. Thanks to this, Lee Jae-hyung, who was anxious about when this crazy little brother would do something, was immediately caught up.
‘Lee Jae-heon’ joked.
“Is it because you were an adult that you didn’t get caught about the things you touched in the past?”
―…Well, seeing as I haven’t heard anywhere that Lee Jae-heon killed anyone, there’s nothing I can’t hide from now on, Jae-heon. Our youngest. Even if this party is like that, what about your face? Even if we assume that they don’t know that they are trying to kill those kids while playing with them… in the first place, taking in high school students and feeding them is not a very good thing to see. I don’t know where the sound of aid exchange will come from.
“…? Original Church….”
Lee Jae-heon took the cell phone away from his ear for a moment and put it back to his ear. It was the face of someone who doubted whether I had heard correctly.
he asked seriously.
“older brother. “Is your head rotten?”
It was a thought-provoking remark, not just for ‘Lee Jae-heon’ but for Lee Jae-heon himself.
Of course, if a man in his 40s was shooting around with a high school student, there is a very high possibility that he would think that way, but Jaeheon Lee only took 5 students with him today. With this number of people, how can there be a sound of fellowship? assistance? association?
Despite Lee Jae-heon’s reaction, Lee Jae-hyung remained steadfast.
-driving me crazy? You know that you are different too. Talking about whatever comes to mind is like a tradition passed down from generation to generation. Does our youngest really have a somewhat innocent side?
“…pure? Pure cow?”
Is this what you want to say to ‘Lee Jae-heon’ now? really?
-Ah, that’s it. Don’t get caught by people from that company. Fortunately, the restaurant I went to today is a place where I can at least try my hand at it… I’m naturally a talkative person, so it’s okay. I’m just saying don’t let the media or public authorities know about the number of cases. got it?
“I have a lot to worry about.”
―…If you have a younger brother like you, your worries will be higher than Taesan, you bastard. When did our youngest become such a twisted idiot… I don’t have the honor to see my mother and father.
“Really damn…”
―Anyway, you also have a really bad personality.
Jaehyung Lee’s voice contained a smile that he couldn’t hide.
―After all, there are only such poor children gathered together.
“….”
―Ah… Honestly, that’s right. Even if those guys are just a little bit nice to you, they will give you money and everything else. Even if you lack personality, you don’t lack face, so as long as you keep acting like that long-legged guy, you won’t notice anything strange. Would I be lucky if I didn’t sell my baby because I was possessed by Chilele Palele?
“…even if I say it….”
– Since they are nothing special, my brother will take care of them this time. Kim… what are you doing? Heechan? It looks like he might be a bit of a pain in the ass, but not to the point where I can’t bury him. Well, even though Eonhak High School has a good reputation, it is not of a very high standard. Isn’t that a school only rich people go to? They say they only picked out kids from families that didn’t cross the line. That too is an ability.
“If you’re going to swear, please swear comfortably, bro.”
―Oh, of course it’s a compliment, Jaeheon. As long as you do it safely, Brother Lee can understand this hobby. Leave it to me to convince you. Let’s not just cause accidents, okay? huh?
After asking several times, Jaehyeong Lee hung up the phone, and Jaeheon Lee quietly looked down at the cell phone that had lost contact.
“….”
My ears hurt.
“Tsk.”
I gently touched my tingling ear.
‘The urgent matter was roughly completed.’
Survivors were very concerned about young students studying at a school where perverts resided. As Lee Jae-heon said in the other side of the world the other day, and the students were disappointed that they could not join the drinking party, they raised the issue of students’ future as soon as they came out of the side world. It was resolved.
The issue about the art teacher is not something that can be easily resolved, so let’s resolve it slowly…
!
“….”
I blinked at the text message from Jaehyung Lee.
[You didn’t forget next Friday, right?]
I smiled slightly.
It seemed like I would be able to see Song In-myeong soon.
