Chapter 581 – The Conspiracy Begins (14)
Consciousness that had been submerged in the deep abyss gradually returns to its original position.
A feeling that is slowly regained.
The first thing that awoke was my sense of smell.
The pungent smell of disinfectant passing by the tip of the nose and the dense yet sweet smell of flesh at the end.
I feel like I know who they are even if I don’t open my eyes and see them in person.
Because I took on so much and embraced it.
I feel a cool sensation throughout my body.
It looks like I’m wiping my body with something like a wet tissue or a towel soaked in water.
I extend my slowly moving arms as quickly as possible and hug her body.
“Oh my!”
A startled voice rings in my ears.
Open your eyes slowly.
A soft light that does not strain the eyes.
I turn my back to the light and look at her, my body, and her overlapped with her.
Shaking pupils.
Her scolding continues.
“… “If you keep sleeping in like this, you will be born as a cow in your next life, right?”
Slightly reddened eyes.
It seems like I was asleep for quite a long time.
I ask Jeonghee, who has a strange expression on her face that is half happy and half dissatisfied with me.
“How long has it been since I woke up?”
“Four days.”
“Oh my.”
If it’s four days, it’s worth worrying about.
I turn my head and look out the window.
It seems to be the middle of the night as it is quiet and dark without any special sounds.
“You’ve been alone for four days?”
“Yes…, No. “I took turns with other kids.”
“I see.”
Other kids must have been worried too.
As I was thinking about that, a stinging gaze shot from her.
What is it?
Did I do something wrong?
“Dojin you… “How many girls have you hung out with outside?”
“…”
I did it wrong.
I forgot.
The fact that a woman’s sense sometimes shows an accuracy that surpasses even the sixth sense of a transcendent person.
He must have read something in the women’s eyes as they looked at me as I fell unconscious.
I was a little embarrassed, but I didn’t show it outwardly.
It’s something you have to experience someday.
And that too several times.
In times like this, it’s useless to apologize.
So what is the best solution?
“So are you disappointed?”
Going out shamelessly.
Isn’t that something only bastards do?
That’s right, a dog.
At the point when he touched multiple women at the same time, it was almost like it was already confirmed.
So, isn’t it something lower than being an asshole that doesn’t want you to hear me calling you an asshole?
So I’m not going to go down there, I’m just going to stop at the asshole.
“Honestly, it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t disappointed, right?”
Calm tone.
However, there is a faint sense of disappointment.
Maybe it’s a feeling of betrayal.
I ask again, suppressing the urge to pat my shoulder.
“Do you hate me?”
“That…”
Jeonghee hesitates.
Soon she answers.
“I don’t think so.”
As she says that, a self-deprecating smile appears on her lips.
“But I don’t hate you, so maybe it’s good. “The older lady is really in charge, isn’t she?”
“What is the main strategy?”
She continues her words, holding her tighter in her arms.
“Who would look at your face now and say you’re an ajumma?”
“But you’re the right age for an ajumma.”
“That’s an excuse. “If you live young, you will stay young.”
I said so.
It’s completely different now than when I was in my 40s with a broken body.
At that time, it felt like I was only moving carefully within an already set frame, but now it feels like I’m moving around all over the place without worrying about the set frame at all.
In short, it is a difference in vitality.
If you want to be passionate about something, you need to have enough physical and mental support to do it.
“Don’t be trapped in a set framework. It’s youth regained, it’s life, right?”
“Huh…, That’s right.”
Jeonghee nods her head with a heavy expression as if she has realized something.
Then, a bright and fresh smile appears on her lips, like a flower blooming on a warm spring day.
“Then, should I try meeting other men like Dojin?”
“That will never happen.”
“Oh my, why? You can do it and I can’t? “That’s too selfish.”
“Yes, that’s right. I am a selfish person.”
If I do it, it’s romance, if someone else does it, it’s adultery.
I am a typical example.
This woman and that woman are all touching each other, but my woman is blocked from doing so.
But what can I do?
This is my human nature.
Could it be that I am an apostle of greed chosen by Gula for no reason?
She asked with her lips pouting.
“So you’re saying I’m just going to stick next to you like I am now? Even if you meet another woman, you still love her?”
“That’s right.”
A truly selfish answer.
No matter how much Jeonghee was, she was speechless and couldn’t continue speaking for a while…
“Okay, okay.”
“… ?”
What is it?
The answer without any hesitation.
Maybe I heard wrong?
“… “You said yes now, right?”
“That’s right.”
I asked out of curiosity.
“Why… ?”
Even after answering, I thought it was such trash, how could I answer so easily?
Then she answered.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. I thought something like this could happen someday.”
“…”
“I worried a lot back then. “Dojin, what will happen to me if you find another woman?”
I don’t think it was an answer I gave without thinking.
Did I come up with the answer I had been thinking about and harboring for a long time at the right time?
Her words continue.
“At first, I thought about stopping before I was abandoned, and I also thought that if I get abandoned by you one day, I should just walk away without holding on to my pants.”
Her eyes turn to me.
He’s smiling, but he doesn’t seem to be in a very good mood.
So it looks sadder than a crying face.
A face stained with deep worry.
“It’s okay if I’m this happy, I’ve promised myself that I won’t be snarky as I get older…, It didn’t work.”
Did they say that they know ten ways in the water, but they don’t know one way in the people?
I didn’t know.
I had no idea she was thinking about such things when she was alone.
Pay attention to her mouth.
“So I decided to just get ugly. Still, I was worried a lot about what would happen if that day actually came, but I feel perfect to hear Dojin listen to you.”
Jeonghee stretches out her arms and embraces my body.
“Ma’am, it’s okay. No matter how many women are next to you, as long as she has my place there. And…”
After twisting her body once, she escaped from my arms, climbed on top of my waist, and looked down at me with the most bewitching gaze and continued her words.
“Honestly, other than my age, I don’t think I’ll be that big of a deal… ♥”
She leans forward and kisses her lightly.
Side!
I smiled helplessly for a moment at the thick texture on my dry lips.
“In fact, there might be more I can do for them than for them… ?”
“…”
Perhaps she may have reached the realm of true maturity that a woman can reach.
Young body and ripe mind.
A combination of diverse experiences and overflowing vitality.
I was mesmerized by that and tried to place my hand on her big breasts.
Mate!
She lightly slapped her outstretched hand and shook her head, smiling bitterly.
“That’s it for today♥”
“Why not… ?”
It’s absurd.
The atmosphere was so good so far, but why suddenly… ?
Then, before she knew it, she returned to her mother’s face and started scolding her.
“What do you do with a child who was injured and has been down for three days?”
“I’m fine…”
“Oh my, look at him. Don’t you know that when you’re young you’re overconfident about your health, but then you lose it as you get older? If you take good care of yourself from now on, your joints won’t hurt even when you get older…”
“…”
It’s clear that she’s not an easy woman, huh.
* * *
A disaster that suddenly unfolded across Seoul.
No, this incident, which was actually a large-scale terrorist attack, was resolved surprisingly quickly.
News and articles keep calling for miracles.
【The outbreak of a catastrophe unprecedented in the world. But Seoul was strong?】
【The greatness of Korean hunters who were strong even in the face of a catastrophe.】
【The value of Seoul has skyrocketed, and the number of tourists and immigrants has increased significantly since the disaster.】
Quite a few buildings collapsed, resulting in considerable economic loss.
Dozens of hunters on the front lines died, hundreds were seriously injured, and thousands had to be taken to hospitals or healers with serious injuries.
However, this was nothing more than stopping the bleeding.
Compared to the enormous loss that would have been incurred if the catastrophe had not been prevented in time.
The crisis actually became an opportunity.
Seoul emerged as a safe city, and as the number of overseas immigrants increased, housing prices soared.
Politicians tried to use this to publicize their capabilities, and this paid off, achieving the highest approval rating ever since the launch of the Hunter Society.
A politician appeared and started denying everything.
The atmosphere of Seoul full of joy, the cheers of citizens, the high-slung noses of politicians, etc.
He pinched everything.
“Everyone, we must think deeply about this disaster again.”
He spoke passionately.
Don’t be fooled by the positive atmosphere created by news, Internet articles, cyber wreckers, etc.
“As a result, we did a good job of preventing disaster. But if you look at the process, it wasn’t like that at all.”
Hunters who followed him to the stage testify.
“… To our shame, we were driven to the brink of defeat.”
“It was difficult to deal with monsters pouring out of dozens of cracks.”
“If a miracle hadn’t happened, Seoul would have been…”
It was a fight that became more and more lost as time passed.
The number of monsters continued to increase, and the hunter’s stamina rapidly decreased.
“The barrier that had been installed at a cost of trillions of won failed at a critical moment, and the hunters were also cornered, and many of them died or were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital, barely saving their lives.”
Defeat and death.
When the two words became a fait accompli.
A miracle happened.
Kim Do-jin.
I don’t know what he did, but his power was passed on to everyone, and thanks to that, the hunters who regained their power succeeded in counterattacking and closed the rift.
“I am sure that if it were not for his power, we would all be dead by now.”
I would like to thank him.
At the same time, it warns people.
“My fellow citizens, this is definitely wrong. It is about protecting the capital of a country. Can the current reality, in which such a thing is determined by only one person, really be considered hopeful?”
He criticizes.
“All the politicians who are bragging now have failed to do anything. “They just continued to talk about the same thing, wasting time without anyone coming up with a realistic plan to deal with it.”
It exposes the true faces of boastful politicians in a horrifying manner and calls for change.
“Fellow citizens, we stand at a crossroads of choice.”
Are we going to leave our bodies in an unstable direction that is controlled by one person like this?
Or will we remain safe under a defense system created by everyone working together?
For the former, you don’t have to do anything.
However, the latter needs change.
A change that cannot be achieved by just one or two people and can be called a revolution.
The change he proposed was this.
“I strongly advocate for the establishment of a new ministry to prepare for such disasters or terrorist attacks, and a new ministry comprised of hunters with extensive field experience.”
The overflowing joy subsides.
The cheers die down.
And the approval rating for the company rises steeply.
As a result, the trend begins to change significantly.
Kim Do-jin’s mouth twitches as he stares blankly at this in the hospital room.
It’s because I realized it.
“… “I wondered what they were aiming for, and it turns out they were aiming for this.”
What do they want to achieve through this terrorist attack?
What they wanted was a so-called water change.
Those who disagree with one’s opinion are branded as incompetent politicians and are eliminated, and their positions are filled with those who share the same opinion as one’s own.
In this way, they will be able to devour this country and, by extension, the world.
Although it succeeded in preventing terrorism, it failed to hinder the enemy from achieving its goal.
That means.
“… “I lost?”
Given the flow of events, this fight was clearly his defeat.
