I Became the Lousy Side Top - Episode 104
It didn’t take long for the problem to come to a conclusion. Choi Moo-jin can’t be trusted. It was natural, considering what he had been through so far. But he couldn’t keep his mouth shut like this. He can’t live with being harassed by him forever.
Jaewoo closed his eyes tightly. The inside of the store was in disarray. He was happy with the interior, which was somewhat completed until this morning, but his life is unknown.
As if he had noticed something, Hyunjin looked at Jaewoo with shaking eyes and opened his mouth.
“No.”
“But Hyunjin.”
“Absolutely not.”
The hand holding my arm was shaking. Even though he knew that, Jaewoo had no intention of backing down. Anyway, I had to resolve the matter with Mujin and move on.
“If I were Seo Jae-woo.”
“There are no ifs in the world.”
“Is that really the case?”
“You act quite boldly, but that doesn’t mean I’ll change my mind.”
Was it bold? However, it was inevitable for Jaewoo to speak informally and raise his voice. Who can be calm when the nest they worked so hard to build is ruined?
“If Seo Jae-woo comes back alive, he won’t do anything stupid.”
“You are not Seo Jae-woo.”
Apparently, Mujin was the type of person who did not believe in possession or reincarnation. Actually, I think the number of people who believe that would be even rarer. But Jaewoo was able to make me believe it. Because I have memories of being together.
Who on earth would listen, remember, and use a conversation that only the two of us had? Given Mujin’s personality, there was no way he would have let an enemy install a wiretapping device in his house.
Jaewoo slowly opened his mouth.
“Do you remember peeling a mountain of garlic in the living room?”
“… … I remember. “But that wasn’t you.”
“I asked why you were criticizing me so much, and I told you so. “It tastes better when you peel it yourself.”
“… … “Is that so?”
“Why did you keep making cheonggukjang in the beginning?”
Mujin rubbed his chin with his hand. It seemed like he was trying to act calm, but he couldn’t completely hide his agitation.
As the story continued, Mujin’s expression became more and more serious. Things she hadn’t even told Hyunjin were flowing out of the mouth of a stranger. Memories that had been buried deep inside her all this time seep back out.
On the day Seo Jae-woo died, Mu-jin did not cry. Because he was that kind of person. Even if his insides rotted and crumbled, that didn’t change. But why do my eyes feel hot now?
The other person suddenly closed his mouth. That was the end of my memories with Seo Jae-woo. Our days together weren’t short, but they weren’t long either. So it was right that that was it.
‘Think rationally.’
It is impossible for a dead person to come back. If strong will is what makes someone come back, shouldn’t the people Mujin has killed so far also come back to life?
‘Dead people don’t come back.’
know. I know. Mujin raised his hand and covered his eyes. Before he knew it, the tears began to flow one by one, two drops at a time, soaking his gloved hands and falling down.
“Did Hyunjin tell you?”
Hyunjin shook his head and said at Mujin’s words.
“I don’t know.”
Of course you don’t know. Because he never said it. But Jaewoo might have said it. He tried to somehow straighten out his shaky thinking.
‘That can’t be possible.’
Seo Jae-woo cared about Hyunjin. Because of that, he hid everything from him and came to himself. Did he tell Hyunjin what happened with him all this time? The answer was already there.
“really.”
I was so choked up that my voice couldn’t come out properly.
“You are Seo Jae-woo?”
Mujin lowered his hands and looked ahead. There was no answer from the other person, but I could tell.
‘You really came back.’
It felt like the blackout that had been covering my eyes the entire time had been removed. Mujin moved forward. The material crumbled beneath her feet, but she paid it no mind and walked straight ahead. Hyunjin blocked his path. If he were the original, he would have gotten away from Hyunjin somehow, but he stopped at that point. And then he looked at Jaewoo.
Why did I only notice it now? Every little action is just like Seo Jaewoo. Mujin laughed helplessly.
“stop.”
Hyunjin growled and raised his hand like an animal protecting its young. If you got closer, it was ready to bite. But Mujin had no intention of going any closer. Because now I know everything.
In the past, Seo Jae-woo threatened to put his life as collateral. At the time, he thought it was ridiculous and let it go. Because even though he threatened death, he knew he wouldn’t actually die.
But now it’s different. Since I had already experienced his death once, the weight of life was different than before. If he threatened me with his life again, I didn’t think he could hold out.
“Seo Jae-woo.”
So, I decide to suppress my desires. I don’t know if this is right. It made me feel sick knowing that the person I wanted was in someone else’s arms, but it was better than dying.
There was a lot I wanted to say, but nothing came out. All I could do was call his name.
“Jaewoo, Jaewoo.”
The tears still didn’t stop. My vision gradually became blurred. Jaewoo came in front of the crying Mujin and stretched out his hand. The problem was this hand that always grumbled, hated itself, and stretched out at critical times.
“Don’t die.”
“Why am I dying?”
The informal language returned to formal speech.
“Rather than that, wouldn’t you please tell your subordinates to leave now?”
When I turned around to see those words, my subordinates were looking at Mujin with blank expressions. Well, I’ve never cried in front of anyone. As I was looking at him indifferently, my sister-in-law stepped forward.
“Forget what you just saw! “I will kill the bastard who doesn’t forget.”
The subordinates bowed their heads at the words that came out as if they were threatening.
“Go away.”
Then, at one word from Mujin, he retreated.
Now there are only three left in the store. Hyunjin was still wary of Mujin, and Jaewoo was no different. Looking at the two, Mujin sat down on a chair that was still in good condition.
“Why are you sitting down!”
“I think I need to rest for a while.”
As I wiped away my tears, Jae-woo, who was like a cat with prickly hair, hesitated. Then, as he noticed, he started cleaning up the mess inside the store. Hyunjin also helped him. However, it was so badly damaged that it didn’t seem to have much effect.
“Shall I help you?”
As I looked at them, Jaewoo spoke in a sharp voice.
“Are you giving me a bottle and medicine?”
“I can’t say no.”
“That’s Okay. “I just need to try to save something that’s okay somehow.”
“It doesn’t look like there’s much of a problem.”
“Whose fault is this?”
“It’s your fault.”
Jae-woo’s hands were strong as he picked up the fallen piece of wood.
“Then why did you leave my side?”
“Speak properly.”
Hyunjin interjected with an unpleasant expression.
“My brother was dating me.”
“Yes, I did.”
Mujin laughed out loud.
“Are you crazy?”
“No, it’s better than I thought.”
“I don’t think so.”
“Really.”
I felt refreshed as if my insides had been opened. As the heat eating away at her head subsided, her senses returned. Mujin grumbled and looked at the two cleaning up the inside of her store.
‘Seo Jae-woo loves Yoo Hyun-jin.’
I am not confident in that love. It’s okay though. Because she had no intention of leaving like this. She had a lot of time left, and Mujin had great persistence. She wasn’t that and she wouldn’t have made it this far from being a cub gangster.
‘I won’t make you die anymore.’
So keep loving Hyunjin. Show your love so much that even if you want to die, you can’t. Then, someday, we will be able to play Jaewoo again. The road to get there might not be easy, but I had no intention of giving up.
Mujin stood up and went out the door.
“Come back later.”
“Do not come!”
“At that time, I will bring a wreath to commemorate the opening.”
“I do not need!”
A scratching sound was heard from behind. Not long after that, they brought salt and started sprinkling it. Even that appearance was pleasing.
“Don’t come here again!”
“Hyung, I think just spraying this much will be enough.”
“No, you need to spray more. “That way you won’t come back again.”
Well, is that really the case? Hyunjin knew that Mujin would come back. He is still a man as insidious as a snake. The expression looked bright, but a sticky obsession was visible behind it.
‘Why is my brother like this?’
Is it loved by many people? I’ve never really had anything until now. I felt like I finally had someone to love, but I was displeased with the fact that there was someone who was ignoring me.
‘Power and money.’
I wanted something I had never wanted in my life. I wanted to live a simple and happy life, but the world didn’t let me do that.
“Anyway, what should I really do with this? “I have to call the interior design company again.”
“I can’t help it.”
Hyunjin hugged Jaewoo, who was depressed, from behind. The body seemed a little bigger than before, but since this was said to be the original body, even that was good.
“Hyung, I like you.”
“I like you too.”
At first glance, my ears were red. I wanted to bite that ear, but I held back.
“i love you.”
“me too.”
How can you not love someone like this? Hyunjin lowered his head and buried his face in the back of Jaewoo’s neck. Since we live in the same house, the shampoo smells the same. It was so good that the corners of her mouth went up.
