Chapter 560
Episode 560 Ha
Seong-yoon was not the only one who came.
“No, what? “What’s going on, everyone?”
Do-yoon Han and his wife are on their way after seeing the children collapsed into water-soaked seaweed.
“Ugh….”
Even Yoon Ga-ram, supported by Do-yoon Han, walks towards him with a look on his face like he’s about to die in pain.
It seemed like everyone who could come to this aquarium came.
“….”
“Why is your face not welcoming at all, Jeong In-ho?”
Jeong In-ho smiled roundly at Ha Seong-yoon’s words.
“I think it was probably a misunderstanding that occurred because my thoughts were mixed up. “I was truly happy.”
Even if it is only about 5% of the total emotion, it is pleasure.
Ha Seong-yoon was not unaware of Jeong In-ho’s secrets.
“Ah, is it because my temper is so bad that you’re making a ridiculous slander?”
“You understood correctly.”
“haha.”
“ha ha ha.”
Ha Seong-yoon, who was staring at Jeong In-ho with a face that said, ‘Don’t kill me,’ sighed deeply when he remembered that it was not the time to punish Jeong In-ho. He bent down on one knee and checked the condition of the kindergarten students.
Ha Seong-yoon looked at the children’s eyelids over, just like Jeong In-ho did, and illuminated their pupils with a small light. Since I came to the underworld on holiday, I understood that there was no scalpel, but I couldn’t understand why I was carrying that.
“Um…”
“How do you feel?”
Ha Seong-yoon, who had turned off the light and looked around, belatedly answered Jeong In-ho’s question.
“Obviously…he’s passed out. Even if you took a sleeping pill and fell asleep, it wouldn’t be this quiet, so would you be able to hear the story of exactly what happened? “Why did this happen? Please give me the exact address.”
“Address?”
“…Jung In-ho used very difficult words even though he is not a doctor. I’m so out of my mind that I’m speechless. So, what kind of pain did the patient complain of and what was the most fundamental problem…”
Ha Seong-yoon, who was saying something, sighed.
“Well, I don’t think I’m in a state where I can hear that right now. “I would appreciate it if you could just tell me how it happened.”
At those words, Seo Jang-hwa, who had been quietly waiting for Ha Seong-yoon’s diagnosis, opened his mouth.
“We don’t really know. “I was at the concert hall and belatedly noticed that the kids had disappeared, so I chased after them, but by the time we arrived at the Sea Treasure Hall, they had already fainted… and were slowly sinking on the surface of the water.”
“If they were sinking slowly on the surface of the water and the children were unconscious… it would mean that someone knocked them unconscious and then dropped them into the water. Did you see the culprit?”
“Uh…”
Seo Jang-hwa continued, stuttering.
“…Jeong Eun-woo, who went missing while opening the treasure chest… I just went into the Sea Treasure Hall to see if that guy might be in there….
” “I couldn’t do it.”
“Yes, that’s right. That’s what I mean. “There was no one there.”
As the two chatted, Jeong In-ho turned to Seo Jang-hwa and asked.
“So, did you two run into each other at the Sea Treasure Hall?”
“Oh yeah. I couldn’t see anyone through the glass wall, so I was swimming with the intention of going up to the surface and checking. “I saw the doctor’s white head at the other entrance, so I went over and said hello…”
Seo Jang-hwa waved his hand.
“There was really no one there. “Jung Eun-woo opened the only treasure chest that was open, and I have no idea why the kids fainted like that.”
“Did you go up to the surface with Ha Seong-yoon and check it out?”
“no? I saw a familiar face, but I didn’t want to waste that much time… so I just checked through the glass wall. “I just dragged the doctor over as soon as I saw him.”
After saying that, Seo Jang-hwa continued speaking with a tired expression on his face.
“I don’t even know who dropped the kids onto the water in the first place. Since it’s a secret world, I think it’s okay if something happens…”
Meanwhile, Ha Seong-yoon, who was checking the children’s bodies, opened his mouth again.
“I may not have been able to confirm, but there are no injuries on my body. There are no bruises or chafing, and considering that he fell into the water while unconscious, his bronchial tubes seem to be in good condition. In Seo-ah’s case, her neck seems to be a little swollen, but I think that’s probably because she got sick from going into the water while the temperature was low.”
“Then you’re saying there’s no immediate danger, sir?”
“yes. “It’s frustrating not knowing the cause of fainting, but I don’t think it will be a big problem for now.”
Ha Seong-yoon’s face was smiling as he said that, but he looked very scary. He let out a small sigh and smiled tiredly.
“…You shouldn’t just ignore it like this without knowing the cause…” His
voice was filled with self-destruction, so Seo Jang-hwa awkwardly comforted him.
“Well, it’s not like you can know all the diseases in the world. “There is also a word called ‘fever of unknown reason.’”
“I really hate that word unexplained fever. “If a person is complaining of pain or symptoms, there must be a cause, but it is a word that proves that incidents that were vaguely glossed over due to the ignorance of doctors have been consistent throughout history.”
“Oh, um, I see….”
“Of course, thank you for your consolation, Student Janghwa. “I feel better.”
Ha Seong-yoon, who smiled while saying that, did not seem to be feeling any better, but the survivors were not smart enough to point that out. There was no benefit in provoking a doctor who was already very sensitive in a situation where there was an overflow of patients.
“Mr. Jeong In-ho? Don’t just sit around and give the kids a hug. “My body temperature is a bit low, so if I do something wrong, I could get very sick.”
“I’m too tired to hold both of them. “How about the doctor hold the other one?”
“Of course I have to work too.”
Ha Seong-yoon hugged Seo-ah, who was the coldest, to Jeong In-ho, who was not wet, and held Choi Min-hong himself. Then he raised his bent knees and said.
“I understand that the undersea tunnel next to the Sea Treasure Hall was the area right before the concert hall. Is that correct?”
“If you were asking whether it was true that we had almost arrived at the concert venue, then yes, that is exactly correct. “The hallway is a bit long, so it may take some time to get there, but if we divide it into sections, we’re almost there.”
Seo Jang-hwa, who was listening to the conversation between the two, muttered with a tired face.
“What kind of conversation was so confusing?”
It was an utterance that conveyed a desire to make the other person angry in some way, even by exchanging simple information.
“eww.”
Seo Jang-hwa shook his head, feeling like he was getting sick of it for no reason. For a moment, I thought it was a good thing that the kids weren’t listening to this conversation.
Of course, that didn’t mean it was a good thing that the kindergarten students fainted. When Seo Jang-hwa took a deep sigh, Ha Seong-yoon opened his mouth again.
“I think it was probably Jeong Eun-woo who made our kindergarten students faint.”
“…Jung Eun-woo.”
When Jeong In-ho, who was smoothing out the hair that stuck to Jang Seo-ah’s face, asked in an oddly firm tone, Ha Seong-yoon nodded with a kind smile.
“yes. I heard that you are related to Jeong In-ho by blood, but you call him ‘Jung Eun-woo’… It seems like your relationship is quite bad. “Isn’t that right?”
“Wouldn’t it be a bit difficult to meet my uncle, who abandoned my nephew and ran away as soon as he became an adult, after so many years and call him affectionately? Even if it’s me?”
“What kind of trouble was there in the Jeong family?”
“I think Dayoung said something similar once, but I think there must have been something wrong with her veins. “There is a mental illness that could be classified as a genetic disease.”
“That sounds very self-deprecating.”
“Rather than that… why are you so sure that Eunwoo Jeong is the culprit?”
Ha Seong-yoon, who was staring at In-ho Jeong’s question, immediately answered.
“That person killed Mr. Kim Ki-jeong.”
“….”
“He became a monster.”
“…I heard that you were eaten by a treasure chest, but you escaped and were roaming around outside in the form of a complete monster? Didn’t he just die or disappear?”
“well. “From what I heard from Han Do-yoon, it seems like some people describe this as a ‘mutation’… It looked like something between a human and an aquatic creature.”
Ha Seong-yoon’s gaze turned to Yoon Gar-ram, who was limping on one leg.
“Ga-ram also got hurt like that when he tried to do something to Jeong Eun-woo.”
“….”
“…But I’m not trying to take out my anger on Jeong In-ho, so don’t make that face.”
“is that so?”
“What kind of world is it these days, would we ignorantly impose guilt by association? “The reason I was sensitive to Mr. Jeong In-ho was purely because of the stupid judgments that Mr. Jeong In-ho has shown so far, so you don’t have to worry.”
Jeong In-ho smiled faintly.
“I think it would be easier for me if you just put two and two together. “Would you please?”
“I don’t want to spew such vulgar language out of my mouth.”
“How can every word you say be so elegant?”
“It seems like they’re trying to criticize me, but then I guess I’m not angry now…? It is said that Song In-myeong did not cut off the limbs of that dangerous person or tied him up, but saved him alive and placed him next to that nobleman Lee Jae-heon?”
“ah.”
Jeong In-ho also had nothing to say about that.
When Jeong In-ho closed his mouth like that, Ha Seong-yoon also stopped berating him at that point. I don’t know if he stopped because he was tired of talking or because he thought enough was enough, but Ha Seong-yoon seemed to have decided that he should act more rationally.
“Anyway, I’ll explain it one more time when I go to the concert hall, but… Jung Eun-woo has become a monster. “They can freely move around the aquarium through the space inside the ceiling, but unless they are in a designated space such as water or inside the ceiling, they seem to have trouble breathing.”
“…If we have to fight, we’ll have to fight outside the water. Or prevent it from returning to the ceiling.”
“The good news is that there is no ability like teleportation. It seemed like in order to move through the ceiling, you had to first move inside the ceiling through a physical process. “If we can stop it from going through the hole in the ceiling, and if we’re lucky… we might be able to suffocate it without a fight.”
“You are so explicit in saying that you will kill my uncle in front of my nephew.”
“Then may I be considerate?”
“No, it’s not a relationship where we have deep enough affection to want to be considered that much.”
Ha Seong-yoon looked at Jeong In-ho at those words.
“….”
“…Could you please say it in words? “I don’t have the talent to receive telepathy like Dayoung.”
“No, it wasn’t a big deal. “Let’s just go to the concert hall like this.”
“You really have the ability to make people go crazy. Did you transfer it to the manager?”
“It’s because I don’t think it’s a story that would be particularly good for In-ho Jeong’s mental health.”
“…Then I think it’s better not to listen.”
“That’s a good decision.”
Ha Seong-yoon thought as he rubbed the back of Choi Min-hong, who was still unconscious.
‘They say Eunwoo Jeong looked for Inho Jeong even after becoming a monster.’
Yoon Garam, who had a direct conversation with Jung Eun-woo, who became a monster, said that he rambled on about Jung In-ho for a while and then suddenly returned to the hole in the ceiling.
He also added that it felt like he was going to look for Jeong In-ho.
‘If you think about that, I think it’s true that Jeong Eun-woo definitely cared about Jeong In-ho. The affection was so abnormal that it seems like Jeong In-ho was hurt, but…’
Yoon Garam’s expression when looking at Jeong In-ho, perhaps thinking the same thing as Ha Seong-yoon, was not very good.
“….”
“….”
The two exchanged glances for a moment and then turned their heads again.
‘If there is a need to fight with Jeong Eun-woo, it would be better to leave Jeong In-ho out if possible.’
Even though it would have been more effective to assign Jung In-ho to deal with Jung Eun-woo, Ha Seong-yoon was not so without conscience. It seemed that if something like that really happened, Jeong In-ho’s spirit would not be lost.
‘Even if you verbally criticize Jung Eun-woo, it would be difficult to completely detach from the person who took care of you when you were young. It’s not for nothing that they say the blood is thick.’
Ha Seong-yoon understood Jeong In-ho like that.
“…Anyway, I thought that if there was anyone who made our kindergarten friends faint, it would probably be Eunwoo Jeong. “The timing of the kids fainting and the timing of Jung Eun-woo disappearing in front of Garam were also perfect.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“At least in this regard, it’s not Jung In-ho’s fault, so don’t be too upset.”
Although he thought it was pathetic, the other person was a young man much younger than Ha Seong-yoon, so he sighed and decided to change the topic at this point.
“So… how about you, Jaeheon Lee? How is the overall situation going?”
However, Ha Seong-yoon failed to select a topic.
“….”
“….”
“Ah….”
There was a silence like death.
In the end, no one could open their mouths until they arrived at the concert hall.
