Chapter 290 – Quenching (6)
The red mana that was flowing sticky around his body was pushed into the palm of his hand.
[The magical power level has increased.]
Unfortunately, the magic attribute value did not rise, but the total amount itself seemed to have increased considerably.
“Once the meal is over.”
There is an old saying like this.
Don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
It means don’t show off the good things you’ve done and always be humble…
“It is nonsense.”
It may have been in the past, but it is not a word that is used now.
Isn’t it an era of appeal where good things and good things can become one line of one’s specifications?
Unknown good deeds are simply dismissed as something that never happened.
If others know, good things should be known first.
It’s the same now.
“It’s okay.”
I carry the guy lying on the floor on my back and climb the stairs.
The destination is the living room of the mansion where Mrs. Anju-ri lives.
“Oh, hmmm.”
First of all, before opening the door and entering, I’ll start by clearing my voice…
Ok, that’s it
After preparing my body and mind, I slam open the front door and hurriedly step inside.
“Mother, Mother!”
“Oh, sir? Suddenly what… , Kyaaaaagh!”
Anju-ri’s shrill scream resonates throughout the house when she wakes up from the sofa in the living room and sees her half-deep son on her back.
“Stand, stand, sir… !? Ooh, why is our Junghoon doing that?”
Eunbi and the servants of the mansion appear at the sudden scream.
Because there are a lot of people now.
He shouts as he carefully puts Kim Jeong-hun on his back on the sofa.
“Mother.”
“Yes yes.”
“Where is Jeong-hoon’s father now?”
“Oh, he must be at work… , Why are you like that? Jung Hoon, why are you doing this!”
He responds in a calm tone to the woman who urges her by knocking on her chest in response to her frustration.
“Please tell them to come in right away.”
“Hey, sir!”
He doesn’t care about her urging with an angry voice.
My own pace is always important in acting.
If you get caught up in someone else’s atmosphere, awkwardness will be revealed anywhere.
“Mother, please follow my words for now.”
“No, if the child is injured and you have to take him to the hospital first, if you tell him to call the father first… !”
“If you go to the hospital right now, Jeong-hoon’s life will be over, mother.”
The atmosphere around her sinks heavily at the words she threw while cutting off her words.
“Ji, what is that…”
The time was ripe.
Now is the perfect timing to say something shocking.
He puts on her miserable expression as much as she can and parts her lips pretending to struggle towards her.
“Jung Hoon… , It seems to have touched the drug.”
“…”
The silence that follows.
Good.
Perfect.
* * *
After the shocking remarks fell into the house.
Thirty minutes after receiving a call from her wife, who in an urgent tone of her breath asked to come home quickly.
Awesome!
“Honey, honey!”
Kim Yong-un has arrived.
“What the hell is wrong with people… !”
Kim Yong-un, who strode into the living room, was speechless.
Because the whole family found my son lying on a sofa wide enough to sit on.
“Hey, Jung Hoon! Uh, what is this… ! Butler Park!”
“Yes, boss.”
“What are you doing! From the ambulance right away… !”
At that time.
Kim Do-jin, who was standing next to him, cut off his urgent tone and stepped forward.
“Calm down for a moment, father.”
Then, a sharp gaze turns to him.
“Look, sir! How the hell did you train him to be like this!”
A high-handed tone that relentlessly oppresses the opponent.
Kim Do-jin did not get caught up in it in the slightest and only opened his mouth in accordance with his breathing.
“It didn’t happen because of training.”
“If not for training! What the hell did my son… !”
“Calm down, honey. It’s not Do-jin’s fault!”
It was her wife, Anju-ri, who stopped him from going into a fit of rage, even forming veins in his temples.
However, his anger did not subside easily.
“Then what the hell! What’s wrong with our son… !”
“Jung Hoon!”
Anjuli, impatient, shouted at her, and she cut him off.
She starts to sob before long.
“I, Jung Hoon… , Uh… , I think I dabbled in some strange drug, honey.”
“… What?”
Kim Yong-woon’s pupil is getting bigger and bigger.
He asked if he couldn’t believe it even after hearing it himself.
“My son… , What did you do?”
“Uhhhhh!”
Instead of answering, Anju-ri sits down and weeps loudly.
That was enough to make Kim Yong-un realize the harsh reality.
“A drug… , I can’t, I can’t.”
Kim Yong-woon shakes his head and struggles to deny the reality in front of him.
He gave my son a lot of freedom.
Except for one.
“I warned you so much…”
He warned his son until his mouth was worn out.
It’s okay to do whatever you want as long as you’re at the age to enjoy it, but never touch drugs.
I don’t know anything else, but didn’t he even say that he would no longer consider you as his son if he became addicted to drugs?
And then he realized
Why didn’t he rush to call an ambulance even after leaving his injured son?
‘If I go to the hospital now, my son will be finished.’
The body of an Awakener is useless even for drugs that cause fatal problems to ordinary people.
That’s why we take the drug problem even more seriously.
If it’s a drug that affects the body of an Awakener, the damage it will do to the general public can’t even be measured.
In a crisis of desperation, the head, which rotates violently, finishes the judgment of the situation.
‘There’s no way her wife told her not to call an ambulance. That means…’
He immediately hardened his face and bowed his head to the opponent who had been offended a moment ago.
“… I’m sorry, Mr. Dojin. I was so excited about my son that I couldn’t see it.”
This is Kim Dojin.
Not blocking the ambulance, not calling yourself urgent.
“It’s okay. It’s natural for parents to be angry when their child is hurt.”
Kim Do-jin was also a father with a daughter, so he knows that feeling well.
However, Kim Yong-un, who knew his past as simply an orphan from an orphanage, was deeply moved.
‘Not only his ability, but his personality is also very hostile.’
To be so confident at the age of only twenty-one.
It was the moment when the value of Kim Do-jin, who was assigned to Kim Yong-woon, soared even higher.
“You don’t have to worry too much about Jeong-hoon’s condition. First of all, first aid was done well, and the energy of the medicine is almost gone, so there won’t be any problems right away.”
“Ah…”
Kim Yong-un let out a sigh of relief.
But it was still too early to be relieved.
“But… , The problem has not been completely eliminated.”
“Mmm.”
Yes.
It only prevented him from passing his breath right now, but the problems he faces are still enormous.
That he used drugs that affect the body of the Awakener.
“Your father knows all too well… , At this rate, Jung-hoon’s life is over.”
The faces of Kim Yong-woon and other family members all darkened.
Even if you don’t know it elsewhere, Kim Jeong-hoon was a good and reliable son to his family.
He hadn’t done anything big, and even though he spent a lot, he hadn’t had an accident.
“Ah… , Honey, maybe you like this? At this rate, my son… !”
“Calm down for now, you.”
“How calm! My son is going to go to jail, uhhh!”
“Oh, well… ! I have to think, so be quiet! Don’t you understand what I mean?!”
A good daughter and son.
Thanks to this, they were annoyed at each other because their family had never been upset over their children.
It was worth it.
What a headache it would be if the first child problem was a drug problem.
Kim Do-jin quietly intervened between the two, who were gradually raising their voices.
“For now, calm down.”
The two of them shut their mouths tightly without anyone saying anything about his mediation.
It was thanks to the realization that it was not the time to get angry with each other and fight.
“I fully understand what you two are saying. Because things aren’t that good. However.”
After confirming that the two people’s eyes were looking at me, he continued.
“If the situation is the worst, then it is not.”
The eyes of the two twinkle.
The use of drugs by Awakeners is subject to zero tolerance.
There is only one reason to say that it is not the worst in the worst situation where my child will become a criminal.
Kim Yong-un looked up at him with an expectant gaze and asked.
“If… , Is there any way?”
As if living up to those expectations, Kim Do-jin cautiously nodded his head.
As a result, the feelings of the couple, who had been separated to the bottom of hell, rose to the ground.
“Father, Mother.”
Kim Do-jin stared into those hopeful eyes and calmly spoke his words.
“Both of you will know. That Jung-hoon is not a child to dabble in medicine.”
“Yes, yes! How diligent is our Junghoon! I’m not a kid who would touch drugs like that, am.”
“Um… , I didn’t know anything else, but I even warned you over and over again that you should never use drugs.”
Their words do not resonate at all.
But now Kim Do-jin is an angel of sensitivity.
It was an empathy machine that deeply sympathized with their every word.
“That’s right. It is clear that Jeong-hoon was forced to take the medicine.”
Therefore.
“I will catch the drug addict. As long as he can prove that he caught and forcibly fed him, Jung-hoon will be able to pass without much punishment.”
When Kim Do-jin said that in an angry voice, An Ju-ri came over and held his hand tightly and begged.
“Ah… , Teacher, please! Please make sure to catch the bad guy who forcibly fed our Jung-hoon with a strange medicine and relieve our son of injustice!”
Kim Yong-un also realized that there was no other way, and bowed his head once again.
“Please, sir.”
The way he spoke with the utmost respect he could.
Hearing this, Kim Do-jin replied with a confident smile as if to say not to worry.
“From now on, both of you must fully trust me.”
“Sure, sir!”
“Um… , I will follow your will.”
Anju-ri readily answers, and Kim Yong-woon nods with a disapproving expression.
In any case, Kim Do-jin, who received consent from both sides, made a hint.
“Once then…”
After getting a glimpse of Kim Jeong-hun lying dead, he continues.
“Jung-Hoon will be put in a psychiatric hospital first.”
“… Teacher?”
“… ?”
When the expression of the two changed subtly, Kim Do-jin replied with a straight face.
“Did I tell you? You have to trust me completely.”
“Ha, but sir.”
“It’s all because I have an idea, so please follow my words. You know?”
“…”
“…”
They couldn’t answer any more.
