Chapter 124 – Episode 124
Numerous sentences appeared in my head and disappeared repeatedly. What should I say to her, whose will to lift herself up has been broken just by bringing up her story? Even if I tried to console him modestly, it had the opposite effect. Because I was afraid of Ohs Hanam, whom I had never met.
Maybe I’m more scared because I haven’t met him yet. The more I tried to imagine it based on my own standards, the more fear grew in my heart. It might be better after you face it once… Looking at Ohana’s condition, it doesn’t seem like that either.
After a long period of thinking, she stood with her trembling heart and opened her mouth.
“Good job!”
“… Yes?”
I’m not sure if this is true, but Ohana’s tremors have definitely subsided.
Err, I don’t know. I fought with courage.
“Well done! Rather, it is a waste. Ugh, strangely, those psychopaths have a long history. Isn’t it? The only thing I regret in the military is that I didn’t crack the back of my asshole senior’s head with a butt. Really.”
“Brother…”
“그 개새끼가 얼마나 개새끼였는지 아냐? This is the first time in my life that I have cracked a joint just because I didn’t like the look in his eyes. It’s something I’ve never learned before, and it was my first time getting hit with a butt while wearing bulletproof gear just because I didn’t prepare for it. And he bullies me all the time for all sorts of reasons, and I must have lost 10 years of my life trying to hold back the desire to kill him.”
A double wick lit up in Ohana’s eyes as she listened to me. At the same time, her usual vitality begins to return.
“No, what kind of bastards are there? I really shouldn’t have broken the back of her head!”
“I know yeah! Ugh, fuck. “When she was discharged from the military, she said to me, ‘Let’s forget what happened in the military,’ and when I thought about how she laughed to herself, it still upsets her.”
Ohana was a child who gave off more energy when speaking for others than when telling her own story. In a way, it’s the same for me too. Her anger boiled over at Oh Ha-nam, who had made this good child suffer like this.
Just in case, I wonder how I can get revenge. Because I will never leave that bastard alone.
“Wow! Really. The problem is that my brother is too pushy. It’s a bit better now, but looking at what he says, back in the day he was a complete idiot, idiot, idiot.”
“Hey, if you think about it that way, you too…” ” …”
“I’m different, right? I have never once been caught. Even after I started living alone.”
After living alone?
“You…”
Even though I had some expectations, I couldn’t help but ask. Rather than causing trouble for Ohana, she wanted to comfort her and hurt her.
“What about the orphanage? What about a beauty salon? … “What about school?”
Even though I went to a beauty school with a lot of rumors and came in last in my class. Ohana seemed to be having fun going to school. She spends most of her time practicing, so she doesn’t go there very often, but from what I heard earlier, it seems like she has friends she hangs out with.
There is no way a kid like that would have dropped out of school of his own accord. That means… Fuck.
“Oha Nam left me alone and disappeared. “She doesn’t even lift a finger, which is ridiculous.”
That’s what immediately came to mind when I heard those words. Hiring school gangs with money or using force like gangsters to make everyday life a mess. I’ve seen it many times in webtoons where villains bully people like that and then get justice from the main character.
For me, who was assuming this, Ohana’s next words were shocking.
“At first, the orphanage director and friends. And my school friends. Everyone at work heard my story and cursed at me as well. Well done again. “If you go into a house like that, you will only end up unhappy.”
“Yes…”
I wasn’t able to agree with him happily. Because the nuance of Ohana was extremely dark.
“The first thing to disappear was the hair salon.”
“… “What?”
“The chief designer and manager who tried to protect me until the end was fired from the salon and was unable to work at any salon for the time being.”
“…”
“The director of the beauty salon took a large sum of money and sold the beauty salon. What came into that place was a chicken restaurant. Of course, I lost my job. It took less than three days to get there. When I went to work, construction people came and destroyed the inside of the building.”
“Crazy…”
“The manager just patted me on the shoulder and said he was sorry.”
It was completely different from what I had imagined. In fictional works, everything is extremely childish… I was tormented by that feeling. This is even more terrible.
If there’s one thing I learned in the military, it’s that physical pain isn’t really a big deal. Even more so if the pain is inflicted directly on you.
What was truly painful were the moments when my problems affected those around me or led to mental suffering. Things escalate from there. Moreover, the scary thing about mental suffering is that it gnaws away at itself from the moment you recognize it.
“After I lost my job, it was school.”
“…”
“With no place to practice, I naturally spent a lot of time at school. It seemed like it was so natural that I became air. Hehe, you did a good job for me. “The friends who said they would fight together turned out to be like other people.”
Ohana said with a sad expression, as if her heart was being squeezed.
“Some people were cajoled, others were threatened… As a result, it was the same as him distancing himself from me. Honestly, I understand it now, but at the time I didn’t understand it at all?”
I guess so. What does an 18-year-old know?
“What did I yell at that time? Better beat me up! Just beat him to death! Or bully! Please don’t ignore me! I did… Well, it was no use. “I just became a person who didn’t even exist.”
I thought that too. If you give her that kind of encouragement, Ohana will fight back. Realistically speaking, there were no legal issues with Ohanam’s actions, or even with the people who distanced themselves from Ohanam. That was really creepy.
“The teachers only pretended to give me advice, but they all distanced themselves from me. Naturally, I couldn’t stand that atmosphere and dropped out of school. And… When I returned to the orphanage.”
“…”
“The first thing I saw was a half-collapsed orphanage building that was being demolished.”
I quietly closed my eyes. If other villains had done something like this, you’d think this bastard has finally crossed the line. If you think about the stories you’ve already heard before…
“The director standing at the entrance spoke. The government has begun to pour in support for the reconstruction of excellent childcare centers and for excellent childcare in low birth rates. As a result, we had no choice but to demolish the building.”
“…”
“I heard that Ilha Construction decided to provide full support. Furthermore, in my case, Ilha Group is already… Since I was registered as a child of the Oh family, I could no longer stay at the orphanage, or rather, the orphanage. Then, a penalty will be imposed on the daycare center.”
It’s dizzying. There was no real hell.
In that short period of time, I lost my job, lost my friends, and now lost my home and all the relationships I had had for 18 years.
For the first time, it hit me heartbreakingly how scary reality was. Sometimes, when I look at Internet gossip, I’ve seen people say that so-called real conglomerates or high-ranking people are living completely different lives. I thought that everyone’s life would be the same.
Not at all. These bastards were subordinates who, if they wanted to be cruel, could become crueler than any murderer.
‘How can a person do that?’
… This is a way of behaving that comes out naturally. Fuck it, I should have just hit him with a car like in a drama. Wouldn’t it have been better to hire gangsters and commit group violence?
If that were the case, Ohana wouldn’t have suffered this much…
‘Ha!’
I got goosebumps. Oh, Hanam was truly a crazy bastard. She knows that bastard. How to break a person’s heart.
“I was devastated when a text message arrived at my phone.”
“…”
Ohana let out a helpless laugh.
“It was Oh Hanam’s home address.”
“Whoa…”
Listening to Ohana’s story, I feel like I’m losing my mind too. She is 18 years old. She is 18 years old.
Fuck… If I had experienced something like that at that age, I’m not lying, I might have taken a taxi far away and gone to the Hangang Bridge.
“It was that time. It howled like a real animal and rushed at Oh Hanam. His knife cuts the back of his hand, and his blood splatters. “I was so shocked that I ran away.”
“…”
“Oh Hanam’s bodyguards were chasing me like crazy. The moment I thought I might get caught, it was Ricky who helped me.”
“What? … “Who?”
“Rikiyo, Ricky. Rikkiyo, leader of Genesis Eleven. “Oppa Ricky.”
Fuck, this is just shocking…
“I don’t know either. Because of Oh Hanam’s personality, I think he probably wouldn’t have asked the bodyguards to arrest me by force. “While I was running away, Ricky hid me.”
It feels strange, shock on top of shock. Shit. Why was that bastard there? Luckily.
“At that time, the debut was quite successful, but in fact, the group was not as popular as it is now. Still, I felt grateful, so I started cheering hard. Genesis Eleven began to grow rapidly as the years passed. At the center of it all was the leader, Ricky.”
“…”
“And as a famous idol, Ricky makes a lot of money and also has to manage his image thoroughly. In that sense, Oh Hanam was one of the untouchable humans!”
Before we know it, Ohana gets excited and her eyes sparkle. Her smile returned too. My insides are boiling as I face that.
Once again, Ohana learned why she likes Ricky so much. Fuck, even if it were me, I would fall in love with it in that situation. It wouldn’t have been a joke if he had grown rapidly while watching.
“I gained strength by looking at Ricky, the only person who never changed, and lived a life of running away from place to place. I work various part-time jobs, and I date various boyfriends… Anyway, all the men I dated turned into Ohanam’s dogs when the time was right. Good or bad.”
It was something like that.
She was the reason why a woman the size of Ohana wanted to live in a studio apartment where a man lived alone, and when she went to a PC room with Aebom, she went further. She was even sleeping in a very familiar way.
All doubts about her actions so far are completely resolved.
However, I still felt uncomfortable when the name Ricky came up.
“Oh, just because I like Ricky, I’ve never been rude to her boyfriend.”
“I guess so.”
I now know roughly what kind of woman Ohana is. If you were to judge her score as a girlfriend, she was close to 120 out of 100.
“I worked so hard and did my best. I’m always, really consistently, the one who gets betrayed first. Even her ex-boyfriend, Lee Gan, who said he would protect me. … Haha!”
Ohana burst out laughing heartily. It’s not because she feels good or is crazy. It was an absurd laugh.
“Pup… Next time I see you, I’ll kick your ass.”
Although she was trying to speak strongly, Ohana’s voice was already wet. She muttered, wiping her eyes with her wrist in an effort to hide her tears.
“I guess I’m exhausted now.”
I hugged Ohana tightly and squeezed her breasts while whispering.
“Why don’t you give me one last chance too.”
Ohana widened her eyes at my words.
