“Here you go again. “If I just stay still, I’ll get halfway, right?”
At the tackle that came right away, Park Dong-geol frowned at the talkative woman, but did not respond in particular. And then he opened his mouth in a much softer voice than before.
“Didn’t you hear what this lady said just now? “I told you not to fight with each other.”
“Why don’t you look back and talk about what you’ve done so far?”
“Well, that’s right. “But since we’re here to express our opinions, why don’t we at least listen to each other?”
Everyone swallowed their breath as they saw Park Dong-geol obediently admitting it. The talkative woman slightly furrowed her brows, wondering if that person had done something wrong.
“First of all, I apologize to everyone for my actions in the vacant lot. And even if my speaking style is harsh, I hope you don’t listen too much. “It’s because I’ve always used this way of speaking, but I don’t really have any bad feelings toward you guys.”
Park Dong-geol took a quick look around and lowered his head slightly. The dissatisfied gaze still remained, but it was much calmer than before. He moved little by little to the center of the group and looked at the reactions of those around him. Park Dong-geol probably thought it was a situation worth talking about, so he got straight to the point.
“I agree with some of what this banker said. okay. It’s not right to argue now. Let’s put our bad feelings aside for a while and figure out how to escape from those monsters. how is it?”
“… “Then tell me.”
“It’s just like I said. Some people sympathize, but others are dissatisfied. First of all, if I were to conclude, I want each person to realize for themselves what kind of situation they are in.”
“Are you dissatisfied with something?”
When Lee Bo-rim asked with a slight grumble, Park Dong-geol answered with a grim smile for a moment.
“It’s natural to look for a way to survive, but I don’t think I can cooperate. collaboration? Words are good. But looking at the current situation and how I feel, it can only be heard as the sound of a dog eating grass.”
“I said something. Then get out. “Go out and run away alone and live alone.”
The talkative woman scoffed and fired back, but Park Dong-geol didn’t even flinch. Rather, he nodded his head in approval.
“Of course, it’s not like I didn’t think about that.”
“Then get out.”
“Just listen first. Listen to the end, okay? “Listen to everything and then speak.”
When Ahn Hyeon noticed, the talkative woman was able to keep her mouth shut, even though she was upset. Park Dong-geol continued speaking leisurely, receiving the attention of the entire group.
“I am ignorant. And it’s rough. Instead, I don’t know how to lie. Because it’s simple. I felt and thought about a lot of things as I ran away from the vacant lot and almost lost my life. “After that, the word ‘cooperation’ sounded quite offensive.”
At Park Dong-geol’s words, everyone trembled as if they were remembering what happened in the vacant lot just moments ago. As if waiting for such a reaction, Park Dong-geol’s neck moved slightly.
“To be honest, I wasn’t anxious, I was really scared. It’s embarrassing, but the numbness in my stomach actually made me want to pee. lets think. What could I do when these guys that I always saw only in movies or on TV actually appeared before my eyes? If the guy watching over there hadn’t moved quickly, most of us would have become a delicious meal for those monsters by now. So I thought about it and thought about it. I’m not bragging and I have no intention of threatening you, so don’t misunderstand and listen. I’m a guy who has eaten a lot of food. Now you can use a knife or anything else without hesitation in killing people or animals. Why? Because I don’t want to die. I was surprised and embarrassed because it happened so suddenly in the vacant lot, but I want to live. So, if a situation like that happens again, I will wield this weapon to survive.”
Park Dong-geol’s speech was long. And it’s not over yet. However, people began to pay attention to his words little by little, even though they were suspicious. I clicked my tongue after roughly guessing his intentions, but decided to wait and see. Soon, he was pointing out each person and continuing the conversation.
“I don’t know about other people, but the gangly gisaeng brother there looks like he’s done some exercise. I brought weapons and dealt with monsters, so… . And there you are. If you could act as much as your mouth, it could be of some help. Not to mention the guy with the crossbow. okay. These four can definitely help each other. In other words, there is room for a cooperative relationship to be established. is not it?”
A dark shadow fell on the faces of An Sol, Lee Shin-woo, and Lee Bo-rim after hearing Park Dong-geol’s words. In other words, they were saying that they were of no help. Eventually, Lee Bo-rim gathered her courage and raised her voice.
“So you’re saying we can’t cooperate with people who aren’t helpful?”
“Wow. calm down. “I’m not finished talking yet.”
“why… .”
“So can you do it like that guy over there or the guy with the crossbow? Do you think you can stab monsters with rocks or knives? In my opinion, it doesn’t seem right. In particular, you and the guy right next to him just squealed every time they came up. The woman over there tried to keep her mouth shut. You didn’t interfere. “If it had been that bad, I wouldn’t have said anything.”
The woman Park Dong-geol pointed to was the woman who had just asked me why I was away. She still maintained a cool and calm expression.
A moment passed, and Lee Bo-rim opened his mouth in a trembling voice. Compared to the beginning, the voice was quite depressed.
“So the conclusion is that we throw away people who are not helpful… .”
As I watched Lee Bo-rim unable to continue speaking, I thought about the person Park Dong-geol. It wasn’t that I didn’t know what he meant, but it was still a remark worth reconsidering. At first, I thought he was just a guy with shit in his head, but he understood the current situation quite accurately and was making his own logic. No matter what the intention is.
Looking at the dispirited Lee Bo-rim, Park Dong-geol showed his yellow teeth and spoke in a voice that regained confidence.
“Why are you getting so ahead of yourself? I haven’t said that yet. Don’t be so sensitive already. The world is give and take. Then, cooperation with each other is established when you show some helpful behavior. What do you think will happen if we just pretend to cooperate like this and go out? The bastard is busy taking care of his girlfriend, and it would be a good thing if that little boy freezes again and doesn’t get in the way. I don’t want to protect or cooperate with such idiots. My life is most important to me. “Aren’t you guys like that?”
The talkative woman was just waving her hands as if she had nothing to say. The female bank teller’s face was clearly red. I could see her clenching her fists and shaking, but she didn’t seem to have anything to say. Park Dong-gul, who leisurely checked their appearance, began to talk like a sloppy horse, perhaps feeling that it was finally time to take a chance.
“My life is the most important thing, and it would be the same for anyone here. If you admit that, let’s be honest. Some people here can’t cooperate. Just looking at it now, you’re blindly relying on it. There kid. yes?”
When Ansol was singled out, he looked at Hyun with a puzzled face and his mouth twitched. It looked like she had something to say as she pursed her lips, but she lowered her head again as if her words didn’t come out as expected. Park Dong-geol looked at the scene, shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly, and continued.
“That guy knows that too, so he saw the kid earlier and told him to walk on his own. If you had gone with the guy with the crossbow earlier when he asked you to go, you wouldn’t have had to go through something like that. huh? Why is everyone reacting like that? “Did I say bullshit again?”
It’s not even bullshit. Regardless of the intention, it could be seen that reality was assessed to some extent accurately. The problem is that they are literally throwing stones at people who need help.
“If you think I’m wrong, prove it right now. I want you to go down the hill right now and catch one or two of those monsters and bring them to me. “Then I will shut up right away.”
“… … .”
As if Park Dong-geol had said everything he wanted to say, he walked away and returned to his seat. I was curious about other people’s reactions. I turned my gaze and began to look closely at the faces.
Anhyeon had her eyes closed as if she was lost in deep thought, and Sol was trembling slightly as she looked at her brother. But the most pitiful people were Lee Bo-rim and Lee Shin-woo. It was clear that the story about Park Dong-geol was brought up targeting those two in the first place. The two were visibly nervous, their teeth clinking together. No one spoke for a while, but Ahn Hyeon was the first to speak.
“I know what you mean.”
Ahn Hyeon, who kept silent for most of the time, glanced at his younger brother next to him and spoke in a clear voice.
“Sol is not my lover, but my younger brother. “I have no intention of abandoning Sol.”
“brother… .”
Ansol seemed moved and hugged Anhyeon’s body. Park Dong-geol also looked at the two and gave a confused answer as if he didn’t know that.
“Brother and sister. I didn’t know that. Then there is nothing we can do. But still nothing changes. “Who can guarantee that an accident like before won’t happen again?”
The situation was going quite interestingly. Since she cannot target An Hyun, she targets An Sol, who clearly has a lot of baggage, and puts pressure on An Hyeon. Park Dong-geol ultimately chose to leave on his own. Instead, instead of leaving quietly, people were clearly shaking. Anhyeon said nothing more, and her hill became so quiet that not even the sound of her breathing could be heard.
“Well, don’t think too badly about it. I spoke at length, but in any case, I can’t eat or porridge in this awkward state right now, right? “It seems like there are a lot of people who hate me.”
“so. In the end, what do you want… ?”
Still, when the talkative woman, who was less sharp than before, asked, Park Dong-geol answered right away.
“I want to create a proper team here.”
