Theatrical Regression Life - Chapter 555

Episode 555 Do

-yoon Han ran fast.

From the moment Kim Ki-jeong stepped into ‘Friends by the Stream’, he turned back and ran towards the place where the ‘underwater world’ was, and even when something big fell and splashed and a loud groan of something being torn apart, he just looked ahead and ran away.

I don’t know what I was thinking or in what spirit I started running away like that. Even though Kim Ki-jeong didn’t push Han Do-yoon, he stumbled and ran out of breath as if he had been pushed.

“Huh huh huh…!”

I was definitely confident in running.

“Sigh…!”

I was confident that I could do well with my body when it came to running, but I was so out of breath.

“Ugh…!”

I feel like my legs are losing strength.

But it is an illusion. Han Do-yoon was running well. This is thanks to my constant exercise so that I have no regrets. His body knew how to run more steadily and faster.

So, it was clear that the fact that his heart was pounding and the blood spurting out of it was scared and rushing to his brain, his fingertips, his throat, and his lungs was simply due to Han Do-yoon’s mood.

“Ugh…!”

with a splash-!

Han Do-yoon went straight into the ‘underwater world’.

‘I have to run away.’

I remembered the back of Kim Ki-jeong walking to ‘Friends by the Stream’.

‘Let’s run away.’

I remembered the voice muttering that I couldn’t run away.

‘Run away…’

I didn’t want to die.

However, I didn’t want Kim Ki-jeong to die.

‘…Why on earth does this have to happen?’

In the end, Han Do-yoon remembered the complaining that he often had nowhere to go while in the midst of the fire.

Of course, Do-yoon Han also knows. Most of the many irrational disasters that occur in the world spread without any reason. Or, what people in the world call ‘irrationality’ starts from a spark that was considered insignificant.

But no matter how much I think about it, Kim Ki-jeong is a very timid and weak person…

‘Why?’

Why did that person claim to be bait?

‘I told you I would do it.’

Han Do-yoon only came up with that thought while entering the ‘underwater world’ and swimming to the other entrance. When Kim Ki-jeong personally lured the monster, he ran away without any problem, and now I was thinking about that.

However, Han Do-yoon could not understand what had happened to me.

‘I said I would do it.’

Kim Ki-jeong is a very timid person.

‘There was no need for that person to die.’

Kim Ki-jeong just let out a short sigh and found a way to die on his own feet.

He probably wouldn’t have just died. Han Do-yoon remembers Kim Ki-jeong’s screams, which he heard even while he was in a daze. reminds me of that It was a scream mixed with torn, hissing breaths that could not be consumed by the crying.

It must have hurt, right? It must have hurt. How did he die? I can not know. Han Do-yoon ran away without looking back, so it was impossible to ascertain how Kim Ki-jeong died, how he felt, or what he was thinking as bait.

‘You’re a coward.’

So, not being a coward, I said I would die for you.

‘But why did you do that?’

Why did you just pretend not to know and run away, leaving my death behind?

“…Puh-ha…!”

Han Do-yoon managed to escape the ‘underwater world’ and took a deep breath.

I don’t know how many times I squeaked because water got into my nose, throat, and eyes. I was so out of it that I couldn’t even hold my breath, so it felt like I took a small gulp of water. However, Do-yoon Han could only realize this much later.

So, only then did Han Do-yoon realize that he was crying.

“….”

Drop, drop.

The sound of water falling from a soaked body is loud.

“Ugh…”

The sound is too loud.

“Huh huh huh….”

The sound of me crying is so clear.

The sound was so loud that it was impossible not to know that this space was completely empty. In an empty space, don’t all sounds seem louder?

Do-yoon Han felt lonely without even realizing it.

There was no one around.

“Why is there no one? Why is there no one?”

A voice, badly muffled from crying, echoes in the empty space.

“What the fuck is this? What is the situation? Really…”

Didn’t it seem like everything was going well until just now?

The memory is clear. Clearly, Seo Jang-hwa crossed the ‘Friends by the Stream’ area, showing off his skills that were not at all like ordinary people, and Jeong Eun-woo and Park Da-young were with him. That’s right, Jeong Eun-woo. There was that person too.

What kind of face was it? It was pretty shiny. It wasn’t a story based on whether the face was handsome or ugly. That person was just smiling with a face that didn’t even look like a person. It was so strange that even Ring, a monster from the other side of the world, was terrified.

‘But that person has become a monster.’

That kind of monster-like person became a real monster and killed Kim Ki-jeong.

“….”

Mr. Kim Ki-jeong is dead.

“…Ah….”

He died instead of me.

“…Why are you really doing this to me…”

Han Do-yoon was not used to situations like this. It was so strange that I wasn’t used to it.

He was a protector, not a guarded man. I was a person who sacrificed my own body, not a person who survived through the sacrifices of others. Firefighters were like that.

Among those who became firefighters in the first place, there was no one who did not have at least a calling. They all hoped they could help others. It is not about surviving through the sacrifice of others….

“You can’t do that, you can’t do that.”

But in the end, Han Do-yoon escaped all the way here.

“If I do this….”

I thought, let’s protect Kim Ki-jeong.

It wasn’t an idea that was a day or two old. Since Kim Ki-jeong is a very weak person, timid and sensitive, I thought that I, who was strong and skilled in many ways, should help him. Even if it wasn’t as a firefighter, Han Do-yoon wanted to be friends with Kim Ki-jeong.

But I didn’t know that I would survive with the help of that weak, timid, and sensitive person.

“….”

Han Do-yoon recalled Kim Ki-jeong’s words once again.

‘So ask for help.’

“….”

‘To someone else, not me.’

The tone that seemed to be soothing and admonishing was something Han Do-yoon also used fondly.

Han Do-yoon knows under what circumstances such a tone occurs. It was a phrase used to comfort poor people who were trembling with fear. I remember him once using that tone to talk to people he saved from a fire or another disaster.

So Han Do-yoon… was scared.

“…Ugh….”

Kim Ki-jeong knew that.

At least he was wiser and calmer than Han Do-yoon because he was an adult, so he quietly refuted Han Do-yoon’s words and then stepped into ‘Friends by the Stream’. It probably seemed like that.

“…What should I do now…”

Han Do-yoon’s voice trembled from crying.

“What do you really do?”

Someone died.

Everyone, someone died.

help.

“How…”

I couldn’t help it.

“….”

I think it would have felt better if Kim Ki-jeong had cried because he didn’t want to die.

Even Do-yoon Han didn’t know why he felt this way. He was still crying, he was running away with his feet dragging because he didn’t know when the monster would come after him, and his nose was sore from drinking so much water that he couldn’t stop sniffling.

I was out of my mind. This was a hidden world. I couldn’t get help. In the meantime, I may have been viewing the underworld a bit lightly. It’s a world where people die in an instant and can’t tell others about it. It’s a terrible world where I can’t even grieve comfortably….

“….”

“….”

Grumble.

The water still falls and shatters on the floor.

“…Han Do-yoon.”

Han Do-yoon met someone else.

“Are you okay, Han Do-yoon?”

“…teacher.”

“Yes, I am listening.”

“Doctors can’t save a dead person.”

“….”

“A dead person is just dead….”

Do-yoon Han also knew that it was a strange question.

“I know.”

There was no way to bring the dead person back to life.

“I know because I learned a lot.”

I had to go through quite a bit of learning like that.

However, Han Do-yoon awkwardly raised the corners of his mouth as this was the first time he had ever been in a situation like this where he survived because of the sacrifice of a coward. I was usually confident about smiling, but right now, I wasn’t sure what kind of facial expression I was making.

“No matter how talented doctors are, they cannot save a dead person.”

“…Yes, that’s right. “No matter how much I fly or crawl, I can’t reach God’s realm.”

“I thought so.”

What am I talking about?

“I thought so…”

And what should I say?

“…I know that well…”

“…was it Mr. Kim Ki-jeong?”

“….”

Yes, I have to say this at least. right.

“…Kim Ki-jeong is dead.”

“okay.”

“Did you just feel it? “There was a thud… I thought my heart was going to explode.”

“We felt it too. “I was wondering who died.”

“Mr. Kim Ki-jeong walked in there with his friends by the stream, saying that he would die for them, but I just left them behind and ran away. I ran away without even looking back. “Shouldn’t this be the case?”

Ha Seong-yoon responded to Han Do-yoon’s words, which came out randomly.

“There is nothing that cannot be done, Firefighter Han Do-yoon.”

“Why isn’t there that?”

“It must be difficult enough, so I won’t say that Han Do-yoon and Kim Ki-jeong’s choice was wise.”

“You already did it.”

“Because it’s true.”

“….”

As Han Do-yoon bit his lip, Ha Seong-yoon continued speaking in his characteristic quiet voice.

“If one of the two had to die, so in the end one of them lived because of that choice, that would be wise. “There is no need to elaborate further.”

“…Can a doctor say that?”

“As a doctor, I often have to say things like this. “Sometimes people misunderstand, but being a doctor is a profession that you can do for a long time if you know how to say cold and cruel words coherently.”

“It’s really terrible.”

“Sometimes it does. But I don’t think firefighters are much different.”

“I see…”

Han Do-yoon just spit out the thought that suddenly occurred to him.

“…Kijeong told me that.”

“What did you say?”

“He said to ask for help….” “

….”

“…To ask someone other than himself to help me. “Say it like that…”

Han Do-yoon said, laughing mischievously.

“I guess Mr. Kijeong was referring to you guys, right?”

Ha Seong-yoon and Yoon Gar-ram were strong enough to fight monsters many times. It was different from Han Do-yoon, who could do nothing but endure and protect.

They knew how to attack, so Han Do-yoon had to get their help.

“Mr. Ki-jeong….”

“….”

“…Yes, I did.”

I suddenly became disillusioned.

Yes, Han Do-yoon should have attacked Jung Eun-woo, who had become a monster, instead of running away from him. Then maybe both Kim Ki-jeong and Do-yoon Han would have survived.

It was a family as hopeful as a dog.

“So please help me.”

It’s so damn bad, isn’t it?

“Please help me.”

“of course.”

“…I would be grateful if you told me that even dead people can be saved.”

“…Haha….”

Ha Seong-yoon was heard laughing helplessly.

As he was staring blankly, Garam Yoon, who was quietly standing next to him, opened his mouth.

“It will be possible, Mr. Doyun.”

“…really?”

“In a world like this, shouldn’t even the dead come back to life once?”

“….”

“Isn’t that right?”

Han Do-yoon laughed out loud.

“…Ah, you’re really good at it.”

Thanks to you, I feel a little more at ease.

Just because I wasn’t constrained by ridiculous hopes.
