Chapter 144 – 144. Dice 1
I brought Se-Ah out, but there was really nothing to do.
What should I do? This is also a date, right?
But in this world, there are no theaters, restaurants, cafés, or anything else.
Besides, I don’t know much about date plans. You have to have done something right to know.
“Do you need anything?”
In the end, I have no choice but to ask.
Actually, this is correct. Everyone knows that there is no way a proper date is possible in this messed up world.
“Not really…”
It’s clearly there, but it looks like he can’t say anything.
What is it? Why can’t this bold young lady speak properly?
“Isn’t there anything? I think there’s something uncomfortable and necessary.”
“No. Why do you make me say it so many times?”
Hmm… She’s such a cute girl. Even I, such a dull person, feel like I know what I want.
“Really? Then I can go wherever I want with you?”
“Huh? Where do you want to go with me?”
“Yes.”
“Uh… Where is it?”
“I’ll find out when I get there.”
Se-ah doesn’t know where I’m taking her, so she looks half curious and half worried.
Even so, it’s hilarious to see how he keeps chasing after me in the end.
As we walked for a while, Se-ah asked me.
“Oppa.”
“Huh?”
“Why do you keep picking up women outside?”
“What kind of object is a person? Are you saying you’re picking it up?”
When Se-Ah said that she was going to borrow something, I used the exact same words she had refuted earlier, and she looked at me like an axe.
Do you think it would be scary to look at it like that? Isn’t it just cute?
“Because you can’t pick up a man.”
“What kind of answer is that?”
“Is that literally true? I hate men. I kill men at random.”
SeAH is silent for a moment.
He thinks of something and asks me again.
“What about Uncle Seung-gyu? There’s Min-jun, Dong-hyun, Jin-young, Seung-ju and Jong-hyun?”
“I can’t remember all the men’s names. Are you talking about the guys at the distribution center?”
“It’s a bit harsh not to be able to even remember your name.”
“The men there… Yes, the men there are for a reason.”
After a short pause, we continue talking again.
“Seunggyu seemed great at raising a baby. He had a smart way of surviving, so it seemed like he would live well. The world has become like this, and I’ve never seen a man older than me who seems so responsible.”
“Of course… Raising a child is amazing.”
“And who else? Minjun and Donghyun? Are they mart?”
“What do you mean, is Gaene a supermarket?”
“Ah… You don’t know. Are they that? Metallic and transparent?”
“Yes. Wow. You can recognize people with skills. That’s terrible.”
“There’s nothing we can do. Anyway, they… Were captured by a gangster, along with two girls. Actually, I didn’t have any intention of saving anything, but I needed people to take care of what the gangsters left behind. And they escaped captivity on their own. “I’m trying to save the girls. It’s because of me that there’s a gap.”
“I heard that story. Eugene and Jiwon often talk about their brother.”
The man calls him Mr. Se-ah, but the woman calls him Unni. I don’t think my hatred of men has been completely cured yet.
“And Jinyoung. Jinyoung is also amazing in her own way. She took her younger brother and survived until now with that trashy skill. I liked that sense of responsibility. And it was good to keep him alive, right? Without her, it would have been a bit difficult to run the distribution center. Girl?”
“Jinyoung does a lot of work.”
“Yes. And those guys who came with Mi-rae… We’re amazing. I could see them trying to protect Mi-rae. They came out of the orphanage and lived until now while protecting their older sister. That’s amazing.”
“What we all have in common is responsibility.”
“Responsibility… That’s right. It’s the biggest condition I look at in men. Are they carrying something? Are they protecting something? Things like that.”
“Why?”
“Why? I could just throw away everything I was carrying on my shoulders and live freely, but I’m still carrying it around to end up like this. There should be some kind of compensation for that.”
“So you saved my life?”
“Yes.”
“Then what about your brother?”
“Huh? Me?”
“Is your brother responsible?”
I was speechless for a moment at SeAh’s question.
Responsibility? Do I have such a thing?
“Nothing. How can a scum like me do that?”
Se-ah looks a little anxious at my words. And she speaks as if she is defending me.
“But the logistics center… And other people…”
“No. That’s different from responsibility. If I tell you everything honestly, you’ll hate me, right?”
A cold wind sweeps between me and Se-ah.
Se-Ah is looking at me with anxious eyes. Her eyes tremble slightly. Seeing her like that gives her a bit of sadistic pleasure.
There is no excuse even if you say you are a real pervert.
“You don’t like it…?”
“Maybe so?”
“What is it?”
“Are you sure it’s okay? Even if I listen to it?”
Se-Ah, who was silent for a moment, answered as if she had made up her mind.
“Yes.”
Fun. Fun. What will this child think of me after hearing the whole story?
“I have a woman living with me.”
Se-Ah looks a little shocked at my confession, which started so casually.
I didn’t care and continued talking.
“And in addition to the woman I’m living with, there’s one more woman in another hideout. And you. These three are women I consider precious.”
Se-Ah couldn’t hide her embarrassed expression at my continuous straight punches.
Before the world became like this, stories like this would have been tantamount to a self-death sentence. It’s so funny that you say it so confidently.
But… Although this may not be justified now.
“And I’m thinking about how I can keep those three women together in a safe place and live together. And I want to live together. That’s my biggest goal in life, other than survival.”
I am saying crazy things so confidently. But that’s not the end.
“Did you ask me earlier? Why are you picking up women? The distribution center is that kind of place. It’s a place where I bring in women that I can’t live with right now and that I can’t kill or throw away. Men? They’re the managers of my fishery. Of course, they manage the MREs piled up in the freezer. But how did you feel when you opened the trash bag?”
To be honest, it’s a bit of a rush on my part.
If you coax it enough and use your tongue, you’ll somehow be able to talk better… I didn’t want to do that.
It feels a bit like throwing dice.
If 6 appears, it is a success. If the rest appears, it is a failure. Even if you fail, it doesn’t really matter. I don’t think Se-Ah is going to talk about me to people around her.
Anyway, since there is a stable woman named Seunghee, it is a die that can be thrown.
If I don’t like Se or Mina, I can live with Seunghee.
Furthermore… I felt a little bit. Furthermore, I feel like a 6 will pop up.
Se-ah is silent for a while.
I don’t feel strangely nervous or worried.
“Roughly… I expected it… But it was a bit shocking to hear it in person. I thought there would be at least one person. But there were two. But I wasn’t disappointed.”
6 appeared.
Haha. This is it. It’s fun. It’s really fun. You accept this?
“Are you a really strange kid too?”
“What are you saying? She says she’s the weirdest!”
“Of course I know I’m weird. But you’re weird too.”
“Three… The world is strange! The world is strange, so wouldn’t it be strange for me!?”
Se-Ah, who spoke as if she was screaming, begins to speak quietly again.
“Honestly… I think I’m better off than I am now. Of course, it’s not that I don’t like life at the distribution center. But I’d rather see them together more often than see them occasionally like this. Even if I can’t monopolize them alone… It’s still better that way. “
It’s amazing that there is a woman who opens up her feelings to me so honestly even without using charm.
Since the world has changed like this, things like this happen.
Even though she initially built her crush on fascination… SeAH doesn’t happen a few times.
It would be safe to say that Se-Ah’s emotions are her true feelings.
Still, really. It doesn’t feel real.
I really can’t believe they accept such crazy things. Does that mean you are that anxious? I don’t understand why I would accept something like that because I like it so much.
“It’s unexpected. Thank you. For being honest.”
“Ah. I don’t know. I think I’m crazy too. What’s so good about a man like this?”
“That’s right. There must be a lot of better men.”
“It’s loud. My brother shouldn’t talk like that. He shamelessly reveals that he’s seeing multiple women.”
“So? Are you dissatisfied?”
“Wow. Look at this. I must be crazy.”
Even though he says that, he doesn’t let go of the hand he’s holding.
I’m shocked, but secretly happy.
Is this really possible… I really want it.
So Se-Ah and I arrived in front of the business hotel.
“Let’s go in.”
“What!? Was it a hotel you said you were going to!? This pervert… Is that all you heard in your head?”
“What?”
“No. Are you saying you just walked like this to the hotel? All you want is my body?”
“Hmm? What are you thinking? I have some business to do in here. There’s a safe that I need you to open.”
“Huh? Safe…?”
“This is where Anna was rescued earlier. She said she needed to get information out of the guys who were imprisoning Anna. That’s why she brought her here… What?”
Only then did Se-Ah avoid my gaze with an embarrassed expression.
“Oh, come in with me. Anyway, what are you thinking?”
Even as they went to the 5th floor, in front of the room where Baekma Village’s pigs were, Se-Ah didn’t say anything, just lowered her head and followed.
She’s a girl who’s fun to tease. This is why she can’t stop teasing.
She went to the suite and opened the door with her card key.
When I entered the room, there was a slightly unpleasant smell.
The smell of cigarettes. And the smell of a man.
It’s just a smell I don’t like. A not-so-pleasant smell, like that of a widower.
She headed to the safe she had seen when she opened the room door earlier.
A heavy and large safe. It does not appear to be a safe that was originally in the hotel.
How on earth did I get this here? I’m really curious.
I told Se-Ah.
“Open here.”
Se-Ah opened the door, muttering ‘clear’.
The safe contains gold bars and a bundle of documents.
Gold bars. What is the use of something like this in this day and age?
Even if you just clean a few places, you can get a lot of gold and silver.
“Do you want to have it?”
When I hand over a gold bar, Se-Ah quietly says, ‘That’s enough’ with a distressed look on her face.
Ugh. It can’t be helped.
I held Se-Ah’s hand and came out of the room.
“Where are you going?”
Go right to the door of the next room and talk to Se-ah.
“Open here.”
SeAh’s unlocking skill can easily open a hotel room door like this.
It’s a perfect skill. If you have the skills to spare, it would be very convenient to take a picture.
Suite room. Although it hasn’t been used for a long time, there aren’t many traces of time.
It’s just a little dusty. If it is sealed and the ventilation system is active, dust does not accumulate as much as you might think.
I went to the bed that looked soft and sat down.
SeAh looks at me like that.
“Come here.”
When I call, he hesitates and approaches.
When I gesture to his lap, he reluctantly does so and sits sideways on my lap.
“Are you upset?”
“I’m not upset!”
“Really? Then kiss me.”
He looks at me with dumbfounded eyes and mutters softly.
“Shameless.”
Then he eventually wraps his arms around my neck and kisses me.
Anyway… She’s a cute girl. Really.
