Because I trust you, I trust my brother too.
What a neat approach.
Jae-Jin Lee is in a very poor state of socialism, so he doesn’t want to come out easily, but who would refuse such a good opportunity?
Jaejin Lee in his previous life was also a crazy kid, and like other hunters, he earned money in the dungeon and sprinkled it everywhere.
In other words, the greed for money and success is independent of sociality.
“Your brother…?”
“Yes. If it’s Jaewoon’s younger brother, you can trust it. I want to give my younger brother a chance.”
An offer you will never refuse.
I thought so.
As Lee Jae-woon who cares for his younger brother, Wouldn’t he be more happy than anyone else if Lee Jae-jin became independent and earns money on his own and runs on the road to success?
However, contrary to my expectations, Lee Jae-woon’s expression is slightly distorted.
“Uh… my brother has uncomfortable legs and doesn’t like to come out again… so I don’t think it can be done.”
Hmm?
what.
I feel a strange sense of discomfort.
Of course, it is possible that he is answering like that because he is worried about his brother who has trouble with his legs.
Or maybe it was because Jaejin Lee had an accident after trying it before.
But no matter how much he said, he refused this kind of opportunity at once without asking his younger brother…
“But why don’t you ask your brother?”
Jaewoon Lee shook his head at my words and said.
“no. Jaejin has bought something in the past, and most of all, he hates coming out.”
The figure of Lee Jae-woon, who is too decisive even if he is determined.
“If Jaejin earns money, he might be able to live on his own. Besides, I’m not the kind of person who would give me a small amount of money just because my brother’s legs are uncomfortable.”
I tried to emphasize that it was an opportunity that would not come easily on purpose, but Jae-Woon Lee refused.
“no. What I earn alone is enough to support my brother.”
Lee Jae-woon does not reject his brother simply because he is worried about him, but acts as if he has some objection to his brother’s independence.
A normal person would think that his brother’s tendencies are the same here, but I’m not.
Because my goal in the first place was Lee Jae-jin, not Lee Jae-woon.
“okay?”
“Yes.”
Why?
Is your sense of responsibility towards your younger brother too strong?
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be normal to lead him in a better direction even if he rebels against his younger brother?
Are you afraid your brother will have an accident?
If that’s the case, there should be a response that I’d rather put him next to me and have him do the work.
I couldn’t understand Lee Jae-woon’s actions and words, but I knew one thing for sure.
Lee Jae-woon’s refusal is not just because he is worried about his younger brother.
I thought for a moment and smiled.
“Then there is nothing you can do. Thank you for the peace, if you don’t like me, it’s okay.”
“Anyway, thank you for your concern.”
“It’s a matter of Jaewoon’s family, so it’s only natural.”
Having said that, I quietly emptied my glass and thought.
‘There is something.’
I thought for a moment, then smiled and said.
“Anyway, that’s it, so come and visit the smelter tomorrow.”
“Yes?”
“If you understand the task in advance, you will be able to adapt quickly, right? There is a manager named Lee who has been on the floor for a long time, so learn from him.”
At my words, Jae-Woon Lee jumped up from his seat and bowed his back.
“thank you. president. Thank you very much!”
“What. Study hard.”
After sending Jae-Woon Lee to the smelter, I’ll have to check what this subtle sense of incongruity is.
Jaewoon Lee borrowed my car and went up to the refinery.
And Dangjin Dungeon is still noisy with dungeon equipment events.
I muttered as I walked to the container house where Jaewoon Lee and Jaejin Lee lived.
“What? It’s like you know, but you don’t know.”
Jaewoon Lee’s actions and words.
A sense of discomfort there.
And from the sense of incongruity to the familiarity felt.
So I arrived in front of the container house and knocked on the door.
“Is Jaejin Lee here?”
Then Jaejin Lee’s voice came from inside.
“who are you.”
“This is Jung In-soo. Jae-Jin’s older brother, Jae-Woon, the president.”
“What’s going on?”
“I want to talk to you for a moment. Could you give me some time?”
Then Jaejin Lee, who was silent for a while, said.
“It seems a little difficult today. I am not feeling well.”
At that time, he obviously hated it, but he let him in, but this time he refused.
And I felt even more uncomfortable with Lee Jae-jin’s appearance.
“Just a moment. For a moment.”
“Because you are going to die.”
“Did Jaewoon even tell you not to meet me?”
And little by little, I began to feel where the familiar sense of incongruity came from.
“It’s not like that.”
“Did your brother ever say something like this? I said that I wanted to work with Jaejin.”
Then Jaejin Lee is silent.
“Jaejin, are you tired of living like you are now? Do you want to make a lot of money? This time, hyung received a bonus of 1 million won apart from his salary. You will receive more when the event is over. Don’t you want to make money like your brother?”
It stimulates Jaejin Lee’s desire for success.
To be able to disobey his brother’s instructions.
“If you make a lot of money, you can be independent. Anyone who ignored Jaejin as a disabled person can take a picture and press it. In a capitalist world, anything is possible.”
Then Jaejin Lee, who was quiet, said.
“Are you going to make money . . .?”
“Yes. And the unit would not be only two hundred or three hundred or so. It could be a completely different life than it is now.”
Then the door of the container house opened slowly.
I slammed the door of the container house open and went inside.
“I just talked about it. Can you give me some details?”
“Before that.”
I immediately approached Jae-Jin Lee and grabbed Jae-Jin Lee’s arm.
Then Jaejin Lee said, embarrassed.
“ji. What are you doing now?”
“Checking. Am I right?”
I rolled up the sleeves of Jaejin Lee’s arm and looked at him and said.
“Also.”
Jaejin Lee’s arm, which was hidden in a long coat, was full of bruises.
It’s a common story.
Families who abuse people with disabilities.
For such families, members of the family with disabilities are their jewellery.
An ornament that shows that you are a good person who takes care of a family with a disability.
at the same time a plaything
A plaything that you can play with whenever you are stressed.
Jae-Woon Lee wasn’t Jae-Jin Lee’s only brake, but a snare gripping Jae-Jin Lee’s neck.
Jaejin Lee said as he lowered his sleeves again with a bewildered expression.
“What the hell is this!”
“Is your brother like that?”
“no. I have a habit of pinching myself…”
Without saying a word, I suddenly rolled up Jaejin Lee’s top.
“Did you pinch your back by yourself?”
“ね…”
The reason these people can’t get out of the snare is because there is no way to live without the snare.
The reason I felt familiar was because I had met so many of these people.
Because it was not boring to see a person who was reported after abuse and came to an orphanage away from his family.
Fortunately, those people are better off.
I managed to escape somehow.
And the worst case is Jaejin Lee.
I couldn’t escape and I’m already old and there’s nowhere to go.
Now I understand.
“That’s why I refused.”
Because my brother can’t be independent.
If you become independent, you will lose your accessories and playthings, and at the same time, what you have done may become known to the world.
Therefore, the possibility of independence was completely blocked.
Jaejin Lee frowned and said.
“Are you satisfied with the confirmation?”
“Yes. Satisfied.”
Jae-Jin Lee was raised unreasonably through abuse.
Did Jaejin Lee have such a past?
‘It’s a little pitiful, though.’
I thought with a smile inside.
‘Isn’t that better?’
Jaejin Lee in his previous life was able to break free from this snare through awakening.
But in this life, I will save Jaejin Lee.
And Jaejin Lee considers me to be a benefactor who saved him.
It is 100 times better than the plan to intervene indirectly through Lee Jae-woon.
And it’s not really a bad story for Jaejin Lee, isn’t it?
Because of me, I will be able to get out of the snare faster than in my previous life.
Jaejin Lee said with a smile.
“So what are you going to do now? You want to report abuse? Yes, you have to see…”
I interrupted Jaejin Lee and said.
“Why are you doing that? If it did, it would eventually turn around and come back to the starting point.”
Jaejin Lee was embarrassed when I replaced what he was trying to say.
“Yes?”
“The only person to take care of is Lee Jae-woon, so what do you do if you report abuse? Eventually, he will come back to Jae-Woon Lee, and the abuse will only get worse. Looking at it, how many times have you already experienced it?”
Then, Jae-Jin Lee is startled.
“that. How do you do that?”
“If you look at it, it’s a video. Do I feel like I’m seeing something like this once or twice? I’m different from people who just bought it like that. Unlike those stupid people who do things they can’t take responsibility for in the name of justice.”
“········”
“I can give Lee Jae-jin strength. Whether it was money or status. If you want, I can make you take revenge on Jae-Woon Lee yourself.”
Jaejin Lee’s eyes trembled violently at the word revenge.
“revenge?”
taken from noblemt l
Maybe it was just a dream word.
“Yes. revenge. When I tried it, there was nothing as exciting as revenge on my own. Of course, I can do it for you if you want.”
I reached out to Jaejin Lee and said with a smile.
“ruler. you choose my hand. Would you like to catch it?”
Removes Jae-Woon Lee’s noose placed on Jae-Jin Lee.
And I put my noose on Jaejin Lee.
A high-quality noose decorated with silk and jewels, which is different from Jae-Woon Lee’s noose.
It was the first time.
Such a person.
Jae-Jin Lee looked up at In-Soo Jeong and thought.
‘Is it real?’
I’ve been deceived like this several times before.
The report was made with the help of a welfare worker, but in the end, it all started with a single statement of remorse that Lee Jae-woon repented of his mistake.
The abuse only got worse.
Police were called to the scene after a neighbor reported it, but it was the same.
However, Jung In-soo was different.
Shingo says that he will give strength to himself without even thinking about it in the first place.
Are you sorry for yourself?
Are you moved by a sad story?
It wasn’t like that.
Jeong In-soo held out his hand to Jae-jin Lee with a confident expression on his face.
So I was even more puzzled.
‘Why the hell?’
Why are you trying to help yourself?
Even at the cost of losing the older brother who dares to keep him as an entourage?
In the end, Jaejin Lee opened his mouth.
“Why… Joe? Why are you trying to help me?”
Then Jeong In-soo said with a smile.
“Is that important?”
“Yes?”
“Whether it’s sympathy or a sense of justice, whether it’s sympathy or malice, what does it matter? What is important to Jaejin now is how the future will change with his help. And I guarantee it will at least be better than it is now. Jaejin will take this opportunity or not, but he has to decide.”
okay.
right.
If you can escape from the present reality, does it matter whether it is the hand of an angel or the hand of the devil?
As Jung In-soo said, at least it couldn’t be worse than this.
Shall I trust you one more time?
okay. one more time this time.
So Jae-jin Lee raised his hand and took Jeong In-soo’s hand.
