Chapter 99 – Episode 99 Minah Receives an Apology

Dohyeong was in two minds as he apologized to the three people.

First, I wanted to confirm that these scumbags could not truly apologize.

Since you can determine the truth with your own magic, not something ambiguous like a lie detector, you can absolutely confirm whether it is sincere or not, so when you ask someone to apologize, you can tell whether the apology is truly sincere.

No matter how much Minah said she could forgive if she sincerely apologized, I wanted to confirm through this that forgiveness was impossible. Because Dohyeong thought that there was no way that trash that ruined people’s lives would truly reflect.

Dohyeong thought that his revenge would never end because the conclusion was that he could not forgive if he did not truly reflect on his actions.

On the other hand, the second time, contrary to the first time, I also wanted to see a sincere apology.

Only then will what Minah said to herself be able to exist in reality. She thought that her revenge would never end, but she knew that there was a chance, one out of hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands, that if the scumbags truly reflected, she would be able to forgive these guys.

She says that if she forgives her perpetrators, it means she can now move on to the future and not be stuck in the past. In other words, another ending awaits, rather than the ending where revenge ends and destruction occurs.

Until he met Minah, there was no thought left in Dohyeong’s mind that he would like this kind of future to come. No matter what ending she goes to, she has thought that in the end, she will achieve her revenge and then destroy her own future as well.

However, she says that through the act of forgiveness, she can draw a future other than this ending, and the idea of ​​drawing a future like this was born in a corner of Dohyeong’s mind through Minah.

Of Dohyeong’s two hearts, the first was a little bigger. The second mind also existed, but I didn’t expect much of it.

But now, a person who actually showed reflection appeared before my eyes.

Dohyeong was looking forward to it, but was not expecting it. I believed that the trash that harassed Minah right now would eventually end up unable to reflect on their own mistakes. The plan was to spend time in electric hell under the pretext of continuing to give electric shocks until he truly reflected.

However, I didn’t expect someone to really reflect, but I couldn’t have imagined that it would come out right away like this, so I ended up making a dumbfounded expression without realizing it.

‘What, are you really reflecting?’

Thinking just in case, Dohyeong used magic to check Ara’s mind once more. But the magic answer that came back was that what I was saying was sincere.

As Ara was being tortured with electricity today, he thought about why he was here.

It was unfair at first. She didn’t understand what she had done to deserve to be like this, and because of the continued pain she felt, all she wanted to do was go back home.

However, as he remembered and talked about his mistakes that Dohyeong had told him to do, he began to remember in detail what he had done to Minah.

By using violence against Minah along with Sujin’s group, they basically inflicted physical injuries. He said that his dream was to become a nurse and that he deliberately made wounds and practiced treating them, causing pain to Minya. When she was in high school, she didn’t care that Minah was in pain, and since the other kids were by her side, she would mindlessly copy Minah’s bullying.

So, as time passed after she graduated from high school, the events of that time were simply forgotten in her memory. What if she had met her high school classmates from time to time and remembered what happened during that time? But after becoming a nurse, she was so busy that she didn’t even have time to recall those memories.

But today, as she looked back on the past, she realized how much of a human scum she had been, along with Sujin’s group. In fact, the more the three people talked about what they did to Minah, the more I respected her for not committing suicide. Conversely, she felt like she would commit suicide if she had suffered such school violence.

And the decisive factor that led her to truly reflect was the heartbreaking pain she felt imagining that this had happened to her daughter.

Her own daughter, who was only about a year old, grew up and went to school, and when she came back after being subjected to this kind of school violence, an indescribable and complicated feeling arose in her mind.

Anger towards the perpetrators.
Sadness at seeing her daughter, the victim, hurting.
And she feels sorry for having been a perpetrator in the past.

Her various emotions were mixed together, and tears flowed from Ara’s eyes as she reflected on not only her own mistakes due to the pain of her electric torture, but also her own mistakes.

So Ara didn’t stop crying and apologizing to her Minah.

“I’m sorry… No, I’m sorry… I-I was trash… Sob! I never would have been able to bear the thought of being treated like that. I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry! I’m so… So sorry. Do…”

Looking at Minah’s sincere apology, her Dohyung could not say anything. The same was true for Sujin and Hyemin, who suffered electric shock next to her.

Even to the two people who couldn’t use her magic, it seemed like Ara was speaking with her sincerity.

Currently, in this basement, only the sound of Ara crying and apologizing filled her room.

Looking at Ara’s appearance, her figure was momentarily troubled as to what to do with Ara. Will she continue the situation where Ara apologizes with her sincerity by giving her an electric shock and saying that she lied and didn’t mean it? Will she acknowledge Ara’s sincere reflection and apology as confirmed by her magic? Is it true?

“Now stop.”

Dohyung didn’t say anything in particular, so he cut off Ara, who continued to apologize to Minah without stopping her crying.

“It won’t pass the lie detector test, so I know you apologize sincerely. I’ll show Mina the video of you apologizing.”

Dohyeong slowly approached Ara and released all the restraints on the chair that were binding her. Ara, who was unable to wipe the tears from her eyes because of her restraints, continued to cry, wiping her face with her hands when her restraints were removed.

“Get up and follow me.”

Hehe…! Min, I’m sorry…”

Do-hyeong suspected that his mind control was so good that he could not be affected by magic, but when he saw that his apology to Min-ah did not change even after being freed from the restraints of the chair, he realized that A-ra was really reflecting on his mistakes.

If he had faked reflection to the point of deceiving it with magic, Do-hyeong expected that a little joy would well up somewhere in his heart the moment the restraints were released, but even at that moment, Ara’s heart was filled with thoughts of Min-ah and reflection.

At this point, Dohyung had no choice but to acknowledge that Ara was reflecting.

“I’m going to put this guy in another room for a while, so you guys can think about what mistakes you made once more.”

Dohyeong shouted at Sujin and Hyemin, who remained in the room, and took Ara out of the room.

The two people who were looking at the scene in bewilderment poured out their annoyance as Dohyeong went out and disappeared. They wanted to vent their frustration and scream as loud as they could, but they couldn’t do that because they were afraid that Dohyeong would hear and come back in.

‘Holy shit!! What kind of bastard is this? He’s saying that because he properly reflected on himself!! I reflected on myself!! Please release it quickly, damn it!!’

‘Why on earth are you looking at that bitch? Could it be that that bastard… Is Ara your favorite? A bitch like that? I’d rather give you a physical treatment, so ask me to release this… Fuck!!’

As Dohyeong read with magic, the two people were not truly reflecting on their mistakes. I just apologized to Mina for telling a lie in order to get back home. I didn’t feel sorry at all.

In Sujin’s case, she was rather angry at Minah. It was unfair to think that she was being put in this situation because she got involved with a nobody in the past.

‘It’s clear that Min -ah told us to take revenge on us. Fuck, as soon as I get out there I’m going to grab that bitch Minah and kill her half to death. She’s probably going to give illegal immigrants money to rape them and leave them half-maimed!!’

If Do-hyung, who left the basement, had read Su-jin’s mind, she would have become so angry that he might have killed Su-jin in half. Su-jin, who was harboring thoughts that he might have killed Su-jin in half, was just angry at Min-ah in her heart and wanted to get out of this situation.

Meanwhile, Dohyeong took Ara up to the first floor. As if Ara’s own feelings had not calmed down, she still could not stop crying and she just walked after her figure.

Dohyeong went into the room on the first floor and put Ara inside.

“I’ll prepare food, so wait here. I’m telling you just in case, you have not been forgiven by Minah yet. So, if you try to escape from here on your own… I will make you live here forever.”

After hearing Dohyeong’s words, Ara sniffed her nose and nodded her head repeatedly.

After transferring the video of Ara that he had just filmed to his cell phone, Dohyung called Minah first. The call tone played briefly and Minah picked up the phone.

“Ah, Dohyeong! I didn’t know you would contact me first, did you?”

“Well, there’s something I want to ask you, so I’m going to send you a video… Watch it and tell me what you think.”

“Huh? What on earth is that…!”

Dohyung hung up the phone right away without listening to anything Minah said. If he didn’t do that, he felt like he would keep talking to Minah.

She sent the video of Ara’s apology, which she had transferred to her cell phone, to Minah and explained the video via text. She says that the video she is sending now is a video of Ara apologizing to Min-ah, and that she reads her mind with magic, showing her sincere reflection and apologizing to Min-ah.

She then asked Minah to tell her thoughts after watching her video in a private place.

“Indeed… Minah… Will she really forgive?”

To be honest, Dohyeong wasn’t even sure if it was right to do something like this. He asks whether it is okay to send a video of the perpetrator to Minah, who may not yet be over the trauma of school violence. First of all, I explained what the video was to the best of my ability, so I could prevent Minah from suddenly going into shock when she saw the perpetrator.

Next, Dohyung couldn’t predict whether he would accept the apology.

I just wait for Mina’s answer.

Not long after, I received a call from Minah again.

Dohyeong pressed the call button with a trembling hand and held the cell phone to his ear.

“Do-hyung… I enjoyed watching the video you sent… Doara sincerely apologizing to me…”

“What do you think? Can you… See this and forgive me?”

Dohyung quietly waited for Minah’s answer.

“I mean…”
