Chapter 31 – Tale of a Demon – An Incident Occurs

“… “What did you call me for?”

“Oh, it’s no big deal. I just called you to see your face. You know that my family is a bit unusual, right? “My husband has a tendency to be overprotective of the kids.”

“You’re overprotective! “You’re being too neglectful!”

“You know the bloodlines of the girls in our family, right? “If I leave it alone, it will bite men on its own?”

“I don’t like that!”

My husband got angry, but he didn’t feel as intimidated as before. If I continue to be attracted to Jeong Song-mi, will we end up in a relationship like that in the future? Somehow, I feel sorry for my husband.

“… Huh. I know that my kids are promiscuous. My wife and I both do this, so I have no choice but to understand. But understanding it with your head is different from understanding it with your heart. … Isn’t that right? … Huh?!”

“You are right… “

Her husband said that his daughter, who had been enjoying herself by eating and abandoning other boys, suddenly stopped doing so. She said she decided to quit because she liked the guy. They said my name came up there, and they wondered what kind of guy he was.

“So, I was planning to see your face sometime. … “This is what happened.”

He looks out the window. There is a van that disappears somewhere carrying the caught chicks. Where is that going? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I’m going to a good place.

“You’re treating my daughter like a plaything. Moreover, it looks like the main wife is separate. I knew my daughters’ sexual orientation, but it was hard to understand. Originally, I was planning to prevent them from meeting.”

“You carry around a lot of women too!”

“You are the crony here!”

Ah, this is a dirty guy too.

“My wife, I’m still single… “

“I know people like you! If you come to your senses, you will be caught by women and fall into the abyss of life called marriage! From what I heard, he’s still being dragged around with several women?!”

“Ah… “

… Are you talking about your own experience?

Somehow, a sense of familiarity began to boil over.

“Hmm.”

“You said you originally planned to never let us meet… Then… “

“Ah, this guy’s hearing ears are so bright.”

A burst of laughter comes from the passenger seat. I felt strange because I received an approval sign that I didn’t want. It’s too much for him to have just Eun-ah, who is addicted to drugs, and he’s become a psycho-masochist.

“… Thing. What are you talking about? … “Are your wounds okay?”

“Yes? Ah, yes.”

“There will be scars.”

“Isn’t it a medal for a man?”

As if answering my bluff, a fist came flying. She didn’t hit me very hard, just a tap on my forehead. I don’t know why I hit him, but I felt like it had a special meaning.

“What are you worried about?”

“My daughter was kidnapped and her someone else’s son got hurt.”

He said he felt upset but also fortunate. He sighed as he savored those complicated feelings. This person also seemed to have a lot of thoughts.

“What are they going to do?”

“We take care of it.”

“You’re not going to die, right?”

“I watched too many movies. … Is that possible? … “I’m only going to kill one or two people.”

I looked out the window again. Two vans carrying children left. Afterward, the police officer who entered the house gestured towards us. Her husband, who saw the scene, took her hand out the window and pretended to shake something.

“We should team up with the police who are allied with us and send him to jail. There is a lot of evidence and the scene has been covered, so it won’t be difficult. It might be a hassle because of the assault charge, but since there are police officers who just arrived, it will be okay. In the worst case, receiving a medal is all that is necessary.”

“… Medal?”

“It means you’re going to jail. In the gangster world, they say that’s how you get a medal.”

I was a little surprised by the words that came out of her wife’s mouth. For some reason, they said they were suppressing people by beating them without thinking, but it turned out that they were people who didn’t care whether they went to jail or not. I didn’t know anything about these people, but thinking about it this way is a bit scary.

“What will happen to the mastermind?”

“I’m not sending her. I’m going to ask where you got the medicine and soak it. Drugs, rape, violence, it’s all part of the same thing, I don’t even want to imagine what would happen if they got legally involved. This time, we’ll get caught up in some troublesome trouble. … “If you keep him alive, you will have regrets for a long time.”

I felt like I knew how this person survived in the gangster world. Look how he talks like he knows everything about Hyunjun Choi even though he’s never seen him. She has a knack for making women drink drugs and even kidnapping them so that she can take advantage of them. It is somewhat understandable that there will be regrets if left alive.

“… What should you do?”

“Me?”

“I’m telling you bluntly, it would be better to quit school.”

“Are you getting involved?”

“Yes.”

I closed her mouth. She also worked hard to get into college. In the first place, I can’t quit on my own. I also need to see the future in my own way, but it would be difficult if it came out like this. I am at a loss as to what to explain to my parents.

“In this day and age, there are not many people who have a high school diploma.”

“Your parents will be shocked. And… “

“Jobs?”

“… Yes. These days, there are a lot of high school graduates, but if you want to make a living, you need to get a decent job, so you have to graduate.”

I’m saying this, but it sounded funny. If you think about it, didn’t you take a leave of absence without thinking because of Eun-ah? I wondered if I was qualified to say this. Besides, I’m not studying, I’m just playing around with girls. It’s absurd.

“… “You need a job, right?”

“Well, I also have a life.”

“Then do you want to work here? “I heard that a messenger once recommended something to you.”

“… A little bit of violence.”

“I’m not telling you to become a gangster. “I don’t even use people like you in the first place.”

When asked what she thought of herself to say such a thing, she thought of some words, but swallowed them in her mouth. He is a person who dips people without any hesitation. The person who dies this time is Choi Hyun-jun, so he is keeping his cool, but he is a person that most people should be afraid of.

“Then what… ?”

“It’s over there. A place where our daughters play and have a social life.”

“That hotel’s oblique massage shop?”

“Yeah, that one.”

“Why did you do that to me…” What to do there… “

“Isn’t it difficult to deal with something like that when something happens without a man present? I’m going to have to keep at least one male, but since I have two daughters, I can’t leave just any guy. “If I leave it like that, I’ll start worrying again.”

“… “What should I say to my family?”

“Even though it is a crime, there is nothing to worry about. The only ones caught cracking down are those who open stores without any backing. When introducing yourself to someone, just say that you work at a hotel. You can just make up the title, be it manager or something else.”

They ask me if I can at least make them a fake business card. Was there any reason for this person to be treated so well? The mover and my husband seem to strangely like me.

“I think he has another plan… “

“It’s not like it’s not there at all. But it’s not a story that will harm you.”

He said firmly that he would have to quit university anyway. I had no choice but to understand that part to some extent. Now that the situation is like this, the department will either be merged with another place or disappear. As the faculty members are divided, I, involved in this matter, will be dragged around here and there.

“I would be grateful if you would take on the task. As long as I take care of my daughters and other children, I can get over this matter quietly. It’s a story that will end quietly without any harm to you.”

“… Even though things have gotten this big?”

“The school will try to bury it quietly. If you disappear while looking for you in the process, that’s it. I may contact my parents, but I won’t go into detail. Should we go to school and ask, ‘Shall we knit together and quietly bury the child?’ If you nod your head when asked, you’re done. I don’t call you and say, ‘Your son caught all the kids who are raping and using drugs. Should we talk about it?'”

“Will the parents of the children who were caught stay still?”

“… What are you going to do if you don’t stay still? You will disappear I asked the school for help in finding your whereabouts, but they kept quiet. We will proceed without hesitation. “I show no mercy in this matter.”

Her husband cursed softly, and his eyes flashed.

“Listen carefully. Those bastards touched my daughter. What I mean is that she tried to rape and threaten my daughter, who would not hurt her even if I put her in her eyes, to make her daughter. I knew nothing even when my daughter was kidnapped. In the meantime, my daughter’s boyfriend flew away and fought with her, and his face was injured. As a parent and a man, my pride was in tatters. He still looks like he’s going to die from heat. … Do you understand? Ok? … “You know what I’m talking about, right?!”

He put strength on his feet and slammed them down on the floor. The car shook violently. I didn’t know what to say, so I just nodded. I felt like if I said something wrong here, I would end up diving into the ocean with Choi Hyun-jun.
