Chapter 17 – I’m Recording This!
“Did you see this fucking dog!”
While hearing the demon king’s swear words, I was dumbfounded.
The hype I knew was a handsome and unlucky guy. He thought he was a man who used his face to seduce many women. However, what he did now was nothing more than dog trash, claiming that he had done the work of others.
Woo-woo, Woo-woo
At this time, my phone rang. It was an unknown number on the screen, but I knew who it was.
I picked up the phone and pressed the call button. Then I heard the voice of someone I knew.
-Have you seen the news?
A clear voice and a nonsensical tone. It was exaggerated.
When I confirmed that it was him, I remembered the time when we were alone in the bathroom. Not forgetting that time, I manipulated the screen and switched to a speaker so that the demon king could hear it. When I didn’t answer and operated my phone, I heard embarrassing hype.
-Hello. What is this, is Jiheon’s number correct?
“That’s my number. Why.”
I put the phone on the chest of drawers next to the bed at the same time as I was talking, so that I wouldn’t be noticed that I switched to a speaker.
“What… !”
The demon king heard the exaggerated voice and tried to say something. But I motioned to block it and showed her the screen of her phone. Understanding what I was trying to do, she shut her mouth, and I asked to let him finish.
“Why did you call me.”
-Why, why? Haven’t you seen the news?
“I saw it. What are you doing? Why?”
– No, it’s not wrong, is it? I even brought him a charger when I tied him up.
This is an exaggeration. When I asked for something to tie, he took a short ride and brought a cable. However, in the news, he appeared as a hero who defeated the bully.
“Did it come out differently in the news?”
-That’s it, that’s it. Malicious editing. During the interview, it came out almost completely different from what I said, hey.
“Don’t be mean. Why did you call me.”
-Okay. It should be
Hearing my words, the hype’s voice brightened.
-Let’s do this. I’ll give you a glass Seniors also give up.
“So, what should I do?”
– What is it? It’s not you who ran, it’s me.
“I didn’t knock him down, did you?”
-Yes! Our Jiheonie speaks better than I thought!
I could hear him laughing through the phone. He laughed out loud for a few seconds, then lowered his voice this time.
– No, it’s not particularly bad for you. That’s right. You get a glass, and I get some fame. Plus, you get some prizes later.
“Award?”
-You know, something like that! A brave citizen award, or a scholarship from the school! Something like that
Hearing that, I was so dumbfounded that I was speechless. But in the meantime, hype continued to talk.
-If your face appears on TV, won’t you get a lot of bad comments? To be honest? But look at my face You look good, brother, I love you. That’s running now. I’m not letting you curse now. Know? You should thank me
“… Do you think I’ll be happy to hear that now?”
I couldn’t help but ask. Then he laughed like a joke.
– What if I’m not in a good mood?
“Actually, they called the broadcasting station saying it was me, not you, or something like that.”
– You sick bastard.
She lowered her voice as if to scare me. Showing such a reaction was proof that he had been stabbed.
-The news has already come out. But would you change the news by saying that? I’m sorry for the steamed words like you, so we’ve been informed of it. Don’t be mistaken. And you and I can see each other. Take a look.
As he said, I looked at the phone screen turned on. In the status window, I saw chats talking about hype. When I went into the app, there were over 100 calls alone. I didn’t even know we had a conversation like this because I had no reason to contact me, so I turned off the alarm.
– Did you see it? Say it now, it wasn’t me, it was you. Then you’re going to ask me if you’re acting like an idiot?
“Then Yuri. Yuri can talk.”
-Ah, you asshole. I don’t care, really. Hey. Why would I date a bitch who has no friends? It’s not like that because rumors won’t spread even if you eat and throw it away.
I heard something unexpected. He took out Yuri to make the remark, but he did not expect to hear these words.
-That idiot, I was going to eat and throw away Adam, but I gave up, so eat it with gratitude.
“… What are you going to do if you spread what you said?”
-I’m not listening to you, you asshole! Nobody listens to you! Even the fucking senior won’t listen! Come to think of it, it’s a pity that I couldn’t pick it up, that bitch.
“This… !”
For a moment, the demon king could not control his anger and opened his mouth. I raised my uninjured hand to dry it. However, hype asked if he had heard that.
– What is it, are you with someone else?
I decided to change my mind because I thought it would be caught if I lied.
“Hey, do you remember what I said in the bathroom earlier?”
– No, who is it?
“You did. Meet the class that suits me.”
-That’s right, but you asked who was there. Now.
“At that time, I regretted that I should have recorded it, right? But I don’t think I’ll regret it now.”
-What?
The exaggerated voice he was talking about was trembling unlike before. It seemed like he expected what I was about to say.
If you made me have expectations, it seemed like it was my duty to live up to those expectations. So I screamed for the hospital room to leave.
“I’m recording this! You sick bastard! Hang up!”
-You… !
I hung up the phone before he said anything. Then, the voice was saved as a file from right before switching to the speaker phone to right before hanging up.
“Awesome! You!”
The Demon King smiled cheerfully and praised me. But he didn’t answer, and I was blocking him before he called. It wasn’t just the phone number that was blocked. I blocked messengers, and even over-talk went out.
Throwing my phone on the bed, I proudly smiled and said to the demon king.
“Did I do well?”
“You did very well, sweetie!”
The demon king approached with a smile that seemed to shine even though she had a pretty appearance. She opened her arms and hugged me, and I reciprocated by hugging her.
For a while, we hugged bone-crunching, then looked at each other as we sat on the bed.
“What are you going to do with it now? Are you going to send it to the broadcasting station?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Then, are you going to spray it on Dantok?”
“Not even that.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“Of course you have to keep it. What do you do?”
“What?”
The Demon King looked at me while distorting his face. The look on her face as she looked at me was like, ‘What is this idiot talking about?’
“What is this idiot talking about?”
I knew it.
I tried to explain to her what I was going to do. But then someone knocked on the door of the hospital room.
Smart
It was clear that the nurse noona made such a neat knocking sound.
“Excuse me.”
The hospital room door opened as I heard the nurse’s characteristic tired honorifics. As expected, the nurse poked her head through the crack in the door and said.
“Patient, I’m sorry, but be quiet a little, huh?”
She stopped talking to me when she saw the demon king. I thought the demon king would be kicked out of here, and I would be told on the phone what my plan was. But, it wasn’t.
The demon king waved her hand as if greeting the nurse sister.
“Hmm! Long time no see!”
“Did you come again?”
“I’m not hurt this time.”
“Yeah, I’m glad. Be quiet next time, okay?”
Closed the door while As she heard footsteps receding beyond the door of the hospital room, she asked the Demon King.
“Aren’t you that person?”
“Jim owes me often, cancer.”
“When did you get stabbed?”
“The first meeting was woodcarving, but later we became close after being hit by bricks.”
“That or that. But it was right in many ways. Is there anything that didn’t fit?”
“Rather than that, tell me what you’re going to do with that file.”
“Oh that? What are you going to do with it?”
Woo-woo, Woo-woo
At this time, my phone suddenly rang. Looking at the screen, it was an unknown number. Sensing that it would be an exaggeration, I reached out and pressed the call rejection button. When I tried to turn off the phone, it rang again. This time it was glass.
Putting my index finger to my lips, I sent a gesture to the demon king to be quiet. Right after she nodded her head, I picked up my phone and answered the call.
“Oh, Yuri. Why?”
-Jiheon ah
Yuri’s voice over the phone was trembling violently. I asked, startled by the sound that seemed to tremble with anxiety.
“Yuri, what are you doing?”
-Jiheon-ah, I really don’t know, right? I just saw it too!
It seemed that he had seen the news that he had done what I had done.
“Did you see that too?”
-Huh! No, what about this? Hajun didn’t do it. You did it
“I did, but it’s okay.”
-You went out alone, should I speak for you?
“No! Are you okay! You can’t do it!”
-Still…
If Yuri said something like that, my plans could have gone awry. But she seemed uneasy even when I said I was fine. To quell that anxiety, she said a line she had seen somewhere.
“I’m okay. Just protecting you is enough.”
-That, is it?
“Sheesh.”
While Yuri’s voice made her angry, the demon king suddenly pouted her lips. It was something I did when I didn’t like it.
Watching the demon lord like that, I tried to cut off the phone with Yuri to tell him about my plan.
“Yuri, I’m sorry, but can I call you later?”
-Now? I want to talk to you a little more now.
“Sorry, what are you doing right now? I’ll call you later.”
-Really?
“I am really sorry. It is because there is something I am doing.”
-OK got it… Be sure to call later!
“Okay. Hang up.”
-Huh!
After hearing Yuri’s answer, I pressed the end call button. Come to think of it, she was always the first to hang up, which made her feel a bit strange.
Now I looked at the demon king to tell me my plan. But she still looked like she didn’t like her.
“Aren’t you taking care of your luggage?”
Suddenly, the demon king made an outrageous noise.
“What?”
“I asked if he would protect Yuri but not Jim.”
“No, won’t you win if you fight him? You are older than me.”
“That is that, and this is this. If Jim was weak like glass, would you have protected him?”
“Of course! But why?”
“No. I will listen to your story.”
This time, I suddenly felt better. She raised the corners of her mouth and she hummed her little song.
However, since the demon lord did strange things not once or twice, he ignored me and told me about my plan this time. That’s what everyone said, she said.
“You don’t seem to be fit for a hero.”
“Shut up.”
“Heh, that’s a compliment.”
