The Returner

2. You said there was no one I could trust! (4)

Lee Hyuk opened the door and shouted to Lee Ye-won.

“No! Sarah! I told you to buy it. What's the big deal? ”

Lee Ye-won opened his axe's eyes and yelled at Lee Hyuk.

“There's no 50,000 won bag! ”

“Someone wants to buy 50,000 won! I told you it was a $2 million buyout! Why don't you buy me $5 million? ”

“You'll pay $2 million for it! ”

“Phew……. ”

Lee Hyuk flinched at Lee Ye-won's reaction.

Why is this happening?

In fact, compared to what's happened, I didn't think I had any contributions in the house, so I thought I'd buy you some...

“I could buy you one! ”

“Huh?”

Lee Ye-won twists her head.

That's a familiar reaction. Why does it feel so tight today?

“I switched phones. Why would a student need a new phone? Someone who wanted to buy a Hyodophone? ”

“... I'm not wrong. ”

Students don't need a good phone unless they're interrupted from studying! I can't believe they're letting me change my phone!

“The one who used to sing, sing, and then make me write until my phone worked? ”

“Then use it! ”

Lee Hyuk was beaten.

His logic was perfect, and there was no shame in it.

“Then why did you build that expensive bag? You know I won't! ”

“I thought I could get over it with a little insult. Uh, if it wasn't for Mom! ”

“ ……. ”

This girl is no ordinary human being.

I really do.

“Honestly, I wasn't going to say this.... ”

“Huh?"

“You have a filthy personality. Why are humans so petty? ”

Pussy?

Did you just say "tiny"?

What the hell is this?

Did you just call me a pussy?

Oh, come on!

I'm a man of understanding, like the sea!

“Peek-a-boo!”

Lee Ye-won looked at Lee Hyuk with a unique insect look.

Wow, that's disgusting!

He needs to be recognized as a psychic, for real!

It was a tremendous ability to break the composure of Lee Hyuk's immune-like defense with numerous psychic family magic and curses with one look.

“Are you going to the afterlife with that money? If you have to, you should. ”

“It's good to save! ”

“It's good to have the right people, but it's bad to have the right people! ”

“Ugh…. ”

I have nothing to argue with.

Why did I look at so many similar cases and live around them, and not do the same thing?

No, no, no.

I didn't do it to save myself. I just didn't feel the need to spend money!

“That's why I'm buying! What's the matter with you? I'll buy you one!”

“200,000 won? ”

“I'll give you $2 million! ”

“Only?”

Lee Hyuk fluttered.

Is this the wife of the liver?

“Why do you need a bag with more than 2 million won? ”

“Brother, can I be honest? ”

“Yes.”

“Students don't even need a $200,000 bag. ”

“… Huh? ”

What's that supposed to mean?

“No, you don't need a $2 million bag for anyone else, not a student. Why do you need a bag that doesn't have a touching crystal in it? ”

No, what does this girl keep saying?

It was Lee Hyuk who became frightened when the right words came out of Lee Ye-won's mouth.

She's just normal without concepts.

“But why do you think it's so expensive? ”

“Why?”

“It's expensive.”

“ ……. ”

I think the cause and effect are reversed. Am I mistaken?

“Because it's expensive, because it's expensive! Because it's functional, it's design, it's not fucking necessary, it's just expensive, and I'm trying to buy a dress so I can listen to this! You know?”

“Oh, yeah? ”

“Yes! If you asked me why I bought expensive bags, what would I tell you? ”

You have nothing to say.

I don't have anything to say right now.

“Just buy me some! Can't you just think about putting a cast on his neck and buy me one? ”

“ ……. ”

Lee Hyuk felt stumped in the last few hundred years.

What am I supposed to call this? Is this a transition?

“So!”

Lee Ye-won glanced at me.

“I'll buy it or not! ”

“D, I'll give it to you. ”

“Oops!”

Lee Ye-won rushed to Lee Hyuk and grabbed his arm and stretched it out.

“Brother, the best! ”

“Haha... ”

What, do you feel weird about these tears?

Obviously, my brother is fond of it, so why is my heart so heavy?

“You're the only one! ”

Lie to me with your mouth, girl.

You're not the only one. You're the only one with your wallet.

“... But isn't this the kind of thing you ask your boyfriend to do? ”

“No boyfriends. ”

“Why?”

“You're an idiot. His girlfriend might be married, but his money's my money. What's the point of buying a hundred with my money? Someone has to buy it for you. ”

“… Oh, really? ”

Should I say it's conceptual, or should I say it's conceptual?

Should I say smart or stupid?

It was Lee Hyuk who never got a quote.

It's Lee Hyuk. After all those years in Beraf, let's say he's more than just a personality. So, what has he been doing in this town for five years that makes a person like this?

For the first time, it was Lee Hyuk who thought that this place might be more detrimental to people's lives than Beraf.

“I'll go out and come back first.... ”

“Yes, I'll pay. Send me the authorization number. ”

“... How much will it cost? ”

“First of all, 5 million won? ”

“A little higher? ”

“Are you going to do it again like a little brat? If you're going to use it, use it to make yourself happy! I was trying to buy the same thing from my mom! ”

Lee Hyuk shook his head.

Maybe 3 million won will help you fight him less.

“Suit yourself. ”

It's better to make it feel good anyway.

I know.

I know why it feels so subtle.

“Ha……. ”

I heard that people can't live on their own....

RRRR.

The bell rang and Lee Hyuk answered the phone.

“Yes.”

― In front of the house. Just come out.

“Yes, I'll be right out. ”

Let's go to work.

I feel more comfortable fighting monsters than I do at home.

Lee Hyuk hung up his phone and said in a helpless voice.

“I'll be back from work, so just take care of Sarah. ”

“Yes, brother! Make lots of money! ”

“… damn it. ”

Lee Hyuk walked toward the front door with his shoulders slumped.

“Is something wrong? ”

Choi Jung-hoon was worried about Lee Hyuk getting into the car because the grass was dead.

“Jung-hoon Choi. ”

“Yes?”

“… what is money? ”

“Haha.”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled.

“Don't be so mean. If you have money, you have to spend it. When do I start earning just by stacking them up? Isn't that what you're saving up for? ”

“That's right.”

I wasn't wrong.

In fact, the end of Lee Hyuk's "Lee's family resurrection plan" was to feed his family abundantly with almost all the money he made.

However, he was worried about how to raise money and make it rich, but it was because he did not worry about something called abundance.

“I'd rather buy a car! ”

Choi Jung-hoon looked at Lee Hyuk with a serious tone.

“You should never say that. ”

“Yes?”

“If you have money, you usually do both. ”

“… I almost did something big. ”

As expected, this man is wise!

I can trust you!

Not just this formal relationship, but a bloodline, even better!

Can Ye Ye-won handle the words? ’

You have to make money better somehow to be a harmless family!

“… what do you think? ”

“No, it's not.”

Choi Jung-hoon suddenly felt an unknown chill from Lee Hyuk looking at himself with a happy face.

What is it?

I try to ignore it and drive the car, but I'm worried about Lee Hyuk's gaze of gladness next to me.

Choi Jung-hoon pressed down on Excel as he felt the cold sweat on his back.

Soon after arriving at the helipad, Lee Hyuk frowned as he saw Jung Ming standing in front of the helicopter.

“Why are you here again? ”

“We need to get the marker back. I'm just gonna take the marker. ”

“Tsk.”

I wouldn't need a helicopter if it wasn't for the whole zombie apocalypse.

“But do I really have to go? ”

“There are a lot of people out there. ”

“Why are you so anxious that we can't solve other people's affairs? ”

“The price is being paid. ”

“Money you won't be able to spend after the war. ”

Lee Hyuk shook his head.

You think the price you're getting now is going to help you someday. Given the way things are going now, there was a very high probability that the price would be unusable air checks.

Maybe in a few years it'll be a world where gates are opening all the time, and what does that mean?

“Fostering is important for now. We can't stop everything. Other talents need more time. If we let it go, it will be after all the surrounding countries have disappeared that will stop the gates that are opening in the world. ”

“Hnng... ”

That's not wrong either.

I understand with my head, but it just pisses me off that it makes more of what I have to do.

I keep getting this weird feeling. ’

Where does this unpleasantness come from?

This time should improve, but the discomfort seems to be increasing.

This isn't just to make me feel bad.

Lee Hyuk tilted his head and Choi Jung-hoon pointed at the helicopter.

“Hop in.”

“Yes.”

Lee Hyuk nodded and got on the helicopter.

For now, let's focus on what's ahead. It's not a question of problem-solving.

The helicopter flew over Lee Hyuk.

“… What, this? ”

It was Lee Hyuk from all over the world, but I couldn't help but be surprised.

I understood why the word "out of specification" came out.

That's how big the gate in front of Lee Hyuk was.

The gate itself was not so big that it had never seen Yi Hyuk or anything like that. The gate Lee Hyuk created in Beraf was much bigger than this.

But there is a flow.

Until now, I've been caught up in the notion of being this big, but I suddenly felt anxious when I ignored all the processes until now and saw the gate that had become twice as big.

“Does this keep happening now? ”

You don't think so?

Lee Hyuk sighed deeply.

Obviously, this was the situation he needed to come to.

You need to see with your own eyes what will fall from this gate. If there are other agents who are defensive and cannot handle it, this area will quickly become a land of death.

“I got a report, but it's amazing to see. ”

“Of course.”

Lee Hyuk looked at the gate with an unpleasant eye. It didn't feel good to be a simple Irregular.

It's like someone intervened.

What is it?

As Lee Hyuk tried to find out the identity of the feeling of disgust, there was a voice calling out to him.

“Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

Lee Hyuk followed his calling voice and looked back.
