Chapter 35 – Episodes 5-7
Hehe~!!”
Junwoo started running like crazy down the steep mountain path to survive.
“Stand there, you bastard!”
Hyeoncheol’s shout came from behind and wrapped around Junwoo’s neck like a snake. Goosebumps appeared all over his body. When I turned around, I saw Hyuncheol and a gangster running from a closer distance than I thought.
“Huhhh~ Mom~”
Even though it was already dark, my eyes were filled with tears. Like a car wiper during the rainy season, Junwoo’s sleeves kept wiping away his eyes.
Youngho Heo, you bastard! Why are you dragging me in? And you raped Sohee? Even if I beat him to death, he wouldn’t mind! Oh my, I almost fell… I’ll have to swear later. Let’s live for now.
As my running speed accelerated, it was difficult to control my body. Because it was dark, I felt like I might trip over a stone or tree root.
Junwoo’s thighs, which were soaked with urine, gradually lost strength. The sound of following footsteps came closer.
At that time, he felt his chin and the top of his foot caught on the tree root.
‘Fucked…!’
His body rose into the air.
Crashing, rolling.
At that moment, Junwoo pulled his chin, curled his body, and rolled down the mountainside. He himself was impressed by the unintentional activation of the skill.
“What, that bastard?!”
The tomboy frowned as he watched Junwoo quickly moving away. The running speed could not keep up with the rolling speed.
It hurt like crazy because of the stone beak stabbing my whole body, but it was better than dying. Junwoo looked at the spinning night sky and the black tree forest and concentrated on not leaving the hiking trail.
Jun-woo rolled across the vacant lot where the previous incident with Moon-gyu had been and the road in front of it to the back gate of the school. With a thud, he was barely able to stop as his body hit the large tightly closed iron door.
“Eugh~”
He could not move due to extreme pain. However, when he saw Hyeoncheol and Ttomani coming down the mountain, his body jumped up on its own.
I ran towards the crowded street and took out my cell phone. The first thing I did was call Sohee, not my family or the police.
“Huh, huh. Sohee, come out now. Quickly!”
“Why? “What’s going on, Junwoo?”
“Just come out first! “Please save me~!!”
“What?!”
When Jun-woo went out to the side of the main street where people were passing by, Hyeon-cheol and Ttolmani gave up the chase.
As Hyuncheol wiped the sweat from his forehead, the tomboy took out his handkerchief from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it to him.
“Brother, I will be keeping watch in front of his house. “Brother, please go up and finish with your eldest brother.”
Hyuncheol’s hand, which was trying to take the handkerchief, stopped.
Are you my brother? I think he’s much older than me. Am I that presbyopic?
The tomani tightly held a handkerchief to Hyeoncheol, who was confused.
The little boy bows to him politely and runs away. Hyuncheol stood blankly until his back completely disappeared.
I know what kind of person my dad was. But he cut ties with that person. We have nothing to do with each other.
Thinking about it, Hyuncheol called Sohee. I was on the phone.
[Mom, if you ever meet Junwoo, don’t believe anything he says and be careful. I don’t know what that bastard will do. Furthermore, I know that Youngho threatened and tormented her mother. That bastard Junwoo ordered all of that. Call me right away when you check the text.]
I left a message and walked back to the mountain where Youngho was buried.
Junwoo, who had completed the 42.195 km marathon and looked like he had no bones, passed the main gate of the apartment complex as if he was crossing the finish line.
“Junwoo!”
“Ah. Sohee…”
Sohee ran over and helped Junwoo. Jun-woo, whose legs gave out, fell down in So-hee’s arms.
Like Jesus in the arms of the Virgin Mary, Junwoo let his body hang down in an hideous manner. The pungent smell of urine wafted in the air.
“What happened? “Shouldn’t we go to the hospital first?”
“I’m okay. Rather, I think the situation is strangely twisted. Hyuncheol misunderstands something.”
Sohee recalled the text message she received from Hyeoncheol a little while ago. The words that told him to be careful of Jun-woo, and the words that Jun-woo told Young-ho to threaten him. But Sohee believed that Junwoo was never that type of person.
Junwoo told Sohee everything that happened on the mountain.
After hearing the story, Sohee organized her thoughts. That was probably a ruse planned by Si-hwan. If Hyeon-cheol knew what happened with Young-ho, it would have been through Si-hwan. Did you think that if you provoked Hyuncheol like that, you would be able to get him to join your side? But why Junwoo?
‘In the end, the ultimate goal was me.’
Sohee, who came to her own conclusion, helped Junwoo up.
“Let’s go home and get treatment first. “I will clear up Hyuncheol’s misunderstanding.”
Jun-woo, who was lifted, hugged So-hee’s neck tightly and leaned his face against her soft chest.
“Ha~ Jang Jun-woo, I don’t know what else that dirty bastard will do. Bury this guy first and find Jang Jun-woo.”
“Yes, brother!”
Following Sihwan’s instructions, the tots began to loosen the soil with shovels.
Youngho looked at the dirt covering his face with blurry eyes. When I thought that this flying dirt was the last thing I would see while alive, tears came to my eyes.
“Wait a minute.”
At that time, Hyeoncheol stopped the henchmen.
“Still, killing people is a bit… I’m mad as hell, but I’m sure I’ve been punished enough, and I’m sure I felt what a mistake I did. You’re still young, so give me one more chance. Instead, we can just send him far away, so he can’t go near my mom.”
“Oh~ Do you have an ink-and-eye mindset, or do you have a soft heart? “Let’s save the bastard who raped your mother?”
Sihwan chewed on her cigarette filter and laughed.
“Children, your little brother wants to save your life with a generosity as wide as the sea. What should I do?”
“…”
When Si-hwan passed the question, the two henchmen looked at each other and hesitated to answer.
“Aww~ These Shakys really have no idea? In a democratic society, you can’t express your opinion confidently? Anyway, since there are only these Shakkies, I have no choice but to like my younger brother Hyuncheol.”
Hyuncheol felt uncomfortable when they called him names like older brother and younger brother, but he didn’t bother to say anything else.
After hearing Hyeon-cheol and Si-hwan’s words, Yeong-ho barely moved his almost paralyzed tongue and made his last struggle for survival.
“Please… Please save me. Please. Bro.! Hyuncheol hyung! I will do whatever you ask. I will be the dog. Please just spare my life. Ugh…”
Hyuncheol glared at Youngho with a mixture of pity and anger.
Si-hwan chuckled, saying it was fun, then sneaked up to Hyeon-cheol and put his arm around Hyeon-cheol’s shoulder.
“In my heart, I want to rip this bastard, who brought an indelible shame to my precious sister-in-law, into pieces, roast her until golden brown, and devour her, yum, yum, but haha… Still, my Hyun-cheol, who I care about as much as So-hee, will do as he wants. Hyuncheol’s brother decides.”
“Take it out. Then.”
As soon as Hyuncheol’s words left his mouth, the little guys started digging up the dirt with shovels. Yeongho’s body was exposed, covered in blood and dirt, with his feet peeled off.
Yeong-ho crawled out of the pit with the help of his friends and fell flat in front of Hyeon-cheol.
“Thank you, thank you so much, Hyuncheol… Ugh. Ugh… Please just order me anything from now on.”
Si-hwan patted Hyeon-cheol on the shoulder and said.
“There are a lot of people in the world who have tasted money. That’s really delicious too. But, there are not many people who have tasted power. The real power to change people’s thoughts and actions. That’s what this is. “I want to give that strength to our Hyuncheol.”
Sohee spoke to Mijeong and told her that Junwoo was going to sleep over at Sohee’s house. It was an excuse to give Seong-ah a last night’s summary as she finished her tutoring. She said it was nonsense, but Mi-jeong willingly agreed because she thought it would be good if she studied a lot.
In the living room, Sohee applied medicine to Junwoo and spoke to Seongah, who was wandering around.
“So, Seong, you know that too. “When Hyuncheol comes home, I will talk to him carefully, so keep an eye on him, so he doesn’t do anything to Junwoo.”
“H-Why me? Weaklings who can’t even protect themselves should be extinct from this earth. “It’s better to die quickly before you spread those backward genes.”
Sohee glanced at Seongah who was sarcastic.
Beep-clatter-
At that time, the front door opened and Hyuncheol returned home.
“Two fish~!”
Junwoo crawled to the corner of the living room and curled up like a cockroach.
“You bastard… Were you here?!”
Hyeoncheol glared at Junwoo, who was shaking, as if he were going to kill him.
Sohee rushed over and blocked Hyeoncheol.
“Hyuncheol, talk to mom for a moment. I heard everything from Junwoo. “I think you have a big misunderstanding.”
“Oh, did you? But mom really misunderstands. Junwoo, wouldn’t you be surprised if you knew what that bastard did?”
“It is not so. “You met Woo Si-hwan, right?”
“Junwoo says that, right? You say Uncle Si-Hwan threatened you? It’s not like that! Just the opposite!”
Uncle Sihwan… I was suddenly filled with fear when I heard those words. Sohee consoled Hyeoncheol and spoke calmly.
“Woo Si-Hwan, that person is of very poor quality. I said that to my mom a while ago. I want to recruit you into the organization. That’s why I planned this.”
“Then she knew it, but she suffered from Youngho’s bastard? That doesn’t make sense~ Please don’t lie like that to protect Junwoo! Youngho also told me everything. “Jang Jun-woo told me to do it!”
“Woo Si-hwan must have threatened to say that to Young-ho. Think about it too. “Why would Junwoo do something like that?”
“Money! You’re blinded by money! Mom, please think about it! Uncle Sihwan is trying so hard for us!”
Mate!
Sohee’s palm hit Hyeoncheol’s cheek.
“You don’t seem to be in your right mind right now, so your mom slapped you. Sorry. But, come to your senses.”
Hyuncheol cupped his cheek and glared at Sohee. Sohee was embarrassed because it was her first time seeing Hyeoncheol look at her so fearfully.
Hyuncheol turned and kicked down the door.
“Hyuncheol!”
Sohee called out, but Hyeoncheol quickly went down the stairs without turning around. I could see Hyeoncheol running through the veranda window.
“Ugh~ Why is there no day when the house is this quiet?”
Seongah grumbled and entered her room.
Sohee tried to call Hyeoncheol several times, but she did not answer. Afterward, the phone was completely turned off.
A bed was prepared for Jun-woo in the master bedroom, and So-hee lay down on a blanket in front of the front door. It was to prepare for the unexpected.
Sohee, who couldn’t sleep and tossed and turned for a while, called Sihwan.
“Oh my, why did our Sohee call me?”
“I think it’s nearby. Let’s meet for a moment.”
“I’m a little busy right now. “We are having a celebration and inauguration ceremony for our new second-in-command.”
“Are you talking about Hyuncheol?”
A sinister laugh was heard from beyond the cell phone.
“Hey, Woo Si-hwan, you fucking bastard, stop playing tricks and send Hyeon-cheol over right away.”
“They say they won’t go, so what should I do? “I think my cool little brother will soon go to get rid of his sister-in-law’s lover.”
“What do you really want? “Why are you touching Junwoo?”
Hehe~ Sister-in-law. So why do you callously trample on a man’s sincerity when I asked him to have a glass of soju before? Just wait a moment. “I will check the situation and contact you later.”
Pop. I threw my broken cell phone on the pillow and looked at the room where Junwoo was sleeping. Sohee packed her clothes, so she could go out at any time and relaxed lightly in the middle of the living room.
