Chapter 540
Episode 540
Anyway, Hong Gyeong-jun confirmed it at the concert venue and there was advice that in order to use a diving suit, you have to let down the ring’s guard. If not, at least make it look easy.
Eun-Woo Jeong encountered such unexpected difficulties.
“No, so try to make your expression a little more gentle… not that gentle, but more comfortable.”
“This isn’t it… I’m sorry… You didn’t come here to be a drawing model. This isn’t even a plaster statue. “Try acting like a human?”
“Make those eyes a little softer… No, I’m not talking about a smile… No, this person is really…”
Park Da-young, Seo Jang-hwa, and Kim Ki-jeong clung to him and tried to somehow drag Jeong Eun-woo down to the realm of ‘easygoing’. It was never easy. In fact, it felt like an impossible task.
By that time, the survivors were also confused.
“…Isn’t this soft and natural enough?”
“Dayoung, come to your senses. “You are giving up now.”
“How on earth can a person’s face look like this…”
It wasn’t that Jung Eun-woo didn’t follow the survivors’ instructions. He followed precise orders, such as what to do with his eyes or his lips.
The problem was that no matter what he did, Jung Eun-woo’s unique sense of distance and intimidation would not go away.
“Jung Eun-woo, please talk to me more kindly.”
“Hello, my friend?”
“Don’t be too stiff, just naturally….”
“How are you?”
“This is going crazy.”
Jeong Eun-woo’s expression darkened for the first time at Kim Ki-jeong’s lament.
“…Am I the type of person who finds it difficult to speak?”
Han Do-yoon smiled with a relieved face at the question that seemed genuinely unfair.
“You tend to take it easy.”
“But why does this guy keep getting scared, Firefighter Han Do-yoon?”
Yes it was.
Despite the survivors’ numerous efforts, this so-called diving suit ring could not relax. All the survivors could see that they were already so scared that they were shaking.
Han Do-yoon smiled awkwardly and answered.
“Because speaking easily and being scared are two different things.”
He clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘I think they’re doing that because they’re scared because of the atmosphere.’
Although the ring is not a person, what is important for most people to recognize the other person is the atmosphere. And that atmosphere could not be explained simply by the tone of voice or the content of the speech.
First of all, the person’s tone of voice is important, but also their appearance, hand gestures, the speed at which they roll their eyes, their gait, and even the clothes they are wearing. It all makes up the atmosphere. In addition, Han Do-yoon had many factors that were difficult to explain.
‘In that context, Jung Eun-woo…’
had a strong monstrous vibe.
“How about being a little friendlier…?”
“…Could it be any more friendly than this?”
“That’s true, but friendliness doesn’t come from being polite and friendly. Speak loosely as if you were dealing with someone you are comfortable with, and don’t keep your tone of voice so strangely constant….” ”
….”
“….”
Han Do-yoon nodded as Jeong Eun-woo stared at him in silence. It was.
“Well, it’s not just about your appearance.”
It was just a matter of mind.
‘How crazy can a person be to scare the monsters of the other world?’
It literally meant that he was a bastard worse than a monster.
From the time he acted calmly and neatly like an announcer even though blood was dripping from one of his ears, I thought he was a formidable bastard.
Do-yoon Han swallowed his complicated feelings and continued, smiling awkwardly.
“Personally, I tend to think that the atmosphere changes depending on the person’s mindset… So isn’t Jung Eun-woo a bit threatening in that way? “This ring seems to be quite perceptive, so it may have already figured out that Eun-Woo Jeong is a dangerous person.”
“Do I look very dangerous? I’ve never heard of such a thing…”
“Oh…? Are you out of your mind? Who would confidently say, ‘Wow, you’re so scary!’ in front of Eunwoo Jeong?”
No matter how much Jung Eun-Woo chooses, most people say, ‘Ah, yes haha;;’ I would have said that.
Even if it was Han Do-yoon, he would have thought to himself, ‘What on earth is this guy?’ How much more would other people be appalled? But where are you saying ‘I’ve never heard of such a thing’?
Han Do-yoon’s smile became even deeper.
“To be honest, Jung Eun-woo doesn’t have a friendly image.”
“So do I look scared?”
“yes.”
“really?”
“Yes, yes.”
I wondered if a cyborg, who didn’t even look like a human being, would make such outrageous remarks.
“Do you usually live without looking in the mirror?”
“It’s a workplace where image management is important, so I look in the mirror every three hours to check my attire…”
“I guess you don’t look at your face other than your clothes?”
“I see faces the most.”
“So you live smiling like that?”
“Is my laughter strange? The higher-ups said it was good….”
“Oh, the people around me had strange tastes.”
Han Do-yoon smiled brightly at the pleasure of uncovering the identity of Jeong Eun-woo’s dog-like attitude.
It was clear that people had reached that point because there was no one around them to tackle them and ask, ‘Hey, why are you smiling like that?’
“No, but do you have no ego? Didn’t you notice anything strange? Judging by your reaction of not knowing that you were strange, I guess you don’t usually enjoy social life other than work?”
“Oh, I know I’m a little different from ordinary people. Of course, I also have a social life outside of work.”
“Then perhaps the ‘society’ in which Eunwoo Jeong lived was a little different from the ‘society’ we know.”
From the looks of it, this person, Eun-Woo Jeong, seems to have a vague sense of self, so there is a high probability that he made up his appearance to suit his superiors. In other words, Eunwoo Jeong’s bosses had strange tastes.
Now the secret is out and all that remains are the grumpy survivors.
“…Uh….”
“…Hmm….”
“….”
The survivors also had a vague understanding.
In order to immediately change Jung Eun-woo into an acceptable person, the only way to do so is to erase Jung Eun-woo’s memories like Lee Jae-heon. Otherwise, a person could not change in an instant.
“There’s nothing I can do about this right now.”
Kim Ki-jeong nodded at Do-yoon Han’s words.
“I think it would be a good idea to try another method… Why do you have to be easy to use this ring in the first place? “I don’t remember much, but did Detective Hong Gyeong-jun tell you about that?”
“There was no detailed story. “It’s just a nuance that says, ‘If you want to use the wetsuit well, you need to trust the ring,’ so I’m not sure what exactly the problem is.”
“So I can’t force myself to use this wetsuit?”
“Well….”
Park Da-young looked at the ring in Jung Eun-woo’s hand disapprovingly.
“This kid seems to have a very strong ego, so to be honest, I feel a little uneasy when he forces himself to use it.”
“That’s true, but…”
“They already say that using this wetsuit will turn you into a fish monster, but if you start using it without trusting it, I wonder if those negative effects will be even greater.”
“Hmm…”
Kim Ki-jeong nodded. Since it was revealed that this ring turns normal people into monsters, Park Da-young’s concerns were fully justified.
“Well, it was a condition of ‘if you want to use it well’… If you don’t gain trust, it may not function as a wetsuit. “I definitely think it would be unsettling to force it to be used.”
Seo Jang-hwa clicked his tongue at Kim Ki-jeong’s words.
“Then what on earth should I do about this? Eun-Woo Jeong, we failed to create a person like this, and if forcing someone to use it doesn’t work, there’s no point in getting the certificate in the first place.”
“Hmm.”
Eunwoo Jeong rolled the ring on his palm and opened his mouth.
“Shall we go to the Sea Treasure Museum and try using it ourselves?”
“…This is some kind of novel suicide plan.”
“Anyway, you need to try it out to see what condition the wetsuit is in and how it functions. “It looks like it’s scared, but it might be okay once it gets into the water.”
“So you want to die??”
“No….”
Jeong Eun-woo let out an awkward laugh at Seo Jang-hwa’s response of ‘What nonsense?’
“I just wanted to say that it is a necessary process. It doesn’t seem like the situation can be resolved just by talking like this here and now, and more than anything, student Park Da-hoon is also trapped in the concert hall…” “
Oh, wait.”
“yes?”
“now.”
Han Do-yoon was astonished as if he had made the discovery of the century and pointed to Jeong Eun-woo’s face.
“It felt completely natural now?”
“yes?”
“Oh, even now.”
“…?”
“oh my god.”
Because of his fuss, all the survivors’ eyes were focused on Jeong Eun-woo’s face. Jeong Eun-woo hesitated a little, perhaps because he was embarrassed by such a reaction. He laughed awkwardly.
“Could something be wrong…?”
“No, I think it went well.”
“yes?”
“It’s a slightly embarrassing, slightly awkward, and slightly embarrassing posture. What I’m saying is, try holding the ring in that position. “You look completely human and natural right now, so hurry up.”
“Uh…”
Jeong Eun-woo, who hesitated, looked down at the ring.
“….”
He smiled brightly.
“Hello, my friend?”
ah.
Ah….
“Hey fuck.”
“Isn’t this it?”
“Then is that correct?”
Seo Jang-hwa was very impressed.
The survivors were amazed at the sight of Eunwoo Jeong, who returned to his android form in that short period of time. It was truly amazing that people could be so consistent.
“I feel wronged.”
“Express your unfairness properly! “Nowadays, it seems like politicians are on the news and saying things like, ‘Oh, I’m really sorry and I’ll never do that again!’”
“I feel so wronged….”
“Don’t act, be sincere!”
Even after all their efforts, which were not comical, but comical, they were unable to elicit meaningful trust from the ring.
“….”
“…This makes me a little angry….”
Park Da-young muttered with a tired face.
At this point, wouldn’t the survivors be able to relax even if they look stupid?

Meanwhile, the concert hall.
“Boss?”
“Please speak.”
“What is this?”
“It’s going to bleed, right?”
“The question was, why is that on your hand?”
“aha.”
Lee Jae-heon smiled brightly and answered the question of Jeong In-ho, who was smiling softly.
“I stopped scratching for a while.”
“Come here.”
“How dare you give such an arrogant order to a senior who is like the sky?”
“Are you running away now?”
“Why don’t you try catching it somewhere?”
Song In-myeong muttered while looking at the two people throwing taffy at each other with warm smiles.
“If there was that much blood, the wound must have been quite deep…?”
“what?”
“No, look at the depth of the blood on my finger. It’s wet almost up to the second joint. “If you want to get blood like that, you have to soak it in the wound, not just scratch it, right?”
“Dip your finger into the wound?”
The extremely unfamiliar sentence structure made understanding slow.
Fingers. To the wound. The image of soaking….
“….”
Jeong In-ho thought seriously.
“Do you really think I would like you?”
“I’m doing well on my own, junior?”
“You son of a bitch.”
It was consistent in the really useless parts.
