I was careless.
Jay Jenkins, formerly known as Yoon Jae-hee. As soon as he turned 18, he joined the military and was a war hero who succeeded in several operations.
In particular, he has acted in the past, and was the youngest actor to win the Best Actor Award at an international awards ceremony. Of course, this was the past he wanted to erase.
‘Are you there?’
Returning to the mainland in a military aircraft, he frowned at the scene unfolding before his eyes.
“I didn’t expect a welcome.”
Yoonjae passed by soldiers saluting him and went to report on the war.
“Sergeant Jenkins.”
“Chief.”
If the person in front of him was Lieutenant Colonel Phil who recognized his ability while he was in the Navy SEAL, this person in front of him was the person who received a report on his ability while he was in Delta and treated him unconventionally.
So I was a little friendly with this person. There was a rumor that this person would probably be discharged soon and enter the political world… Maybe that’s why he was a bit transparent.
“It was noisy outside.”
“It is the return of the hero. Of course you have to be crazy It’s also scaled down.”
“It would have been better if you hadn’t done it at all.”
“You’ll be fine. If I were you, I would have enjoyed the spotlight.”
I understood from the warden that there was another purpose, but it is no longer my business. Because he was no longer in the military.
Perhaps, if the LIS-related work is finished, this person may step forward and use Jay for various things. Because this side likes making heroes. But it will take years.
“Thank you for your hard work and dedication for your country.”
motherland? Well, now I have lived longer in the US than when I lived in Korea.
Half of them were in the military. I went on vacation a few times, but it was too awkward to come out to society.
‘Where are we going now?’
Jay flipped through the documents someone had given him. There were several support programs for veterans. Let’s call one of these first.
“son.”
“······dad? What are you doing?”
“It’s the day I’m discharged, but I’m here to catch my son who didn’t inform me properly.”
Jay gave a warm hug to his father who came to meet him.
“I’m glad I’m not late. ride.”
“Where are you going?”
“It is our home. You won’t have anywhere to go.”
Jay’s expression, which had hardened, relaxed, and a smile came out. Having a place to go back to is better than you think.
“What are you going to do if you take your grown-up son and sit with him for the rest of his life?”
“I am fine. I’m getting old too, so I can’t use my strength like before.”
“Do you know mom?”
When I arrived at the house I missed so much, the person I missed was standing in front of the house.
“JJ.”
“mom.”
“My son.”
After the touching meeting, we had a family meal time together.
“Okay, are you okay? It was a top-secret operation and I couldn’t even get in touch with you.”
“Well… it was nothing. Killing terrorists like we always did, and that’s it.”
“Did you?”
Henry and Maria didn’t believe Jay’s words. Jay was a wonderful son. He never had an accident, and was a reliable older brother and older brother to his younger siblings.
But haven’t you already experienced the experience of leaving for the military while being so relieved?
“Ah, this. Could you two keep it?”
Yoon Jae handed over to his parents the medals he received before being discharged and the framed commemorative photos. The two eyes widened as they looked at it slowly.
“Isn’t this a big deal?!”
“No, when did you get this?”
“It is extremely confidential. The ceremony was also held in an abbreviated manner.”
“Where are you?”
“are you okay. mom.”
“I am not okay. wake up.”
Maria hurriedly turned Jay around to examine him. In a fit of rage, they pulled the neck of their T-shirts down, revealing scars they couldn’t even imagine.
“This, this…”
“son.”
Jay gently removed his mother’s arm from the shirt.
“It’s really no big deal. I am already healed.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. I will go up first.”
It was hard to see my parents’ expressions of despair, so I went up to my room.
And while staying at my parents’ house for a few days, I had a dream.
[ha ha ha! Ugh, cool!]
[Why are you laughing?]
[Huh… do you think killing me will end it?]
[······Where is the head? Where is the nest?]
[No, I’m not dying.]
I couldn’t listen anymore, so I tortured my opponent again.
LIS’ deputy leader and advisor. Assad’s disgrace was devastating. Like Jay, barely standing still, torturing him right in front of his eyes.
Jay, miraculously freed, overpowered Assad and was avenging himself one by one.
[Heo-eok, hee-uh… Cool, do you think I’m going to die here?]
[Do you think I will save you? raise your head Because I only inflicted pain so that I wouldn’t die.]
[Keuk, ha ha! You have a great teacher from whom you learned. You are very similar to me.]
I wanted to know about that extraordinary ability. The opponent laughed at Jay.
[hehehe, do you know that the only thing I engraved on you is these scars? no. You imprinted me on your mind.]
[······Where is Ahmad? The four brothers, the heads of LIS. where is it.]
[You will never forget me. even if i die You will continue to think of me!]
I tried not to fall for the provocation. However, I couldn’t get past this.
When I killed Assad in anger, I felt a lot of people outside. did you come to catch me? Or did you come to the rescue?
[······ Ten!]
And it was his colleagues who appeared.
Colleagues looked at the miserable Jay and checked the face of Asad, who had collapsed while hesitating.
[It’s a lion. died?]
[Killed.]
[Are you okay?]
[I tried to find out the location of the nest, but he didn’t open his mouth until the end.]
[Okay, that’s okay. We need to find out. Can you move?]
Jay shook his head. All I could do was barely stand.
[······It’s nice to keep seeing that ugly face.]
[Judging from what you’re joking about, you seem to be okay now. let’s go!]
With the help of Tutu and Brian, Jay quickly left the place. Other squad members covered them. The sense of relief that I was alive gradually clouded my consciousness.
Jay looked back. A dark shadow seemed to wrap around his body. The sound of his voice.
[remember. I’m not dying. Until you die, it will take over your mind. Remember the scars I carved.]

“Son, aren’t you in too much of a hurry?”
Henry Jenkins watched nervously as his son hurriedly stuffed his belongings into the bag.
“What happened yesterday was…”
“I threatened my mother.”
I didn’t have many things, so packing was over quickly. Yoonjae looked at his father with watery eyes.
“I, I…”
Confused and out of breath, it was like watching Jay when he was a child. A small child who had to lose his mother in a strange place at a young age. Henry grabbed his son by the shoulder.
“I know it was a mistake. Your mother understands everything.”
“No, no. dad. This is not normal.”
“Why don’t you stay at home and get counseling? Where do you want to go when you have no other ointment? your mother? to go to them?”
“It’s okay if it’s not here.”
It was by no means an easy mistake. I almost killed my mother because I mistook him for the guy I hated.
Perhaps without his father… Jay closed his eyes tightly.
“I shouldn’t be here.”
“JJ, son.”
“I’ll go.”
Jay ran out of the house as if running away. I loaded up the car my father had inherited and tried to get into the car.
“Let’s make a promise to me. I’ll keep in touch, okay?”
Henry hastily turned Jay around. Jay suddenly wondered if his father was this small? I thought. The slightly trembling eyes and the movement of the fingertips, worried about what would happen to her son, were transmitted to her shoulder.
“If you get tired, you can always come back. Answer me. hurry.”
“I will try.”
From noble mtl dot com.
So he left home and led a wandering life. I tried to forget the past while changing jobs.
He had good clothes. Only a lot of good people were twisted. So it was difficult to stay longer. It is because of the anxiety that one day I might harm them like my mother.
So I went to counseling for a while. Although it didn’t last long.
“Today will be the last.”
“yes? Consultation is just beginning. Are you sure you’re giving up?”
“No, because there are jobs in other areas.”
Actually, this is a lie. Even now, the remnants of the past swayed behind the therapist.
“But, sir. Healing isn’t over yet.”
The therapist was the worst patient ever. If rapport with the patient was about to form, he would quickly leave, so full-fledged treatment would not be possible.
“Whoa… I can’t help it. Even if you go there, be sure to ask for advice.”
“yes. I see.”
But Jay’s stubbornness could not be broken. And so, without saying goodbye, Jay left the area he was familiar with and wandered again.
“Kyaaah!”
The first time he got serious about settling down was when he was a lifeguard in the Coast Guard.
“What happened?”
“My, my brother fell into the sea!”
Without hesitation, Jay jumped into the sea and brought the child to shore.
The child couldn’t open his eyes. He was about the same age as when Jay came to America.
“Did you call 911?”
“Uh, what should I do!”
“please please.”
CPR was performed immediately. Fortunately, the child coughed up water and came to his senses. Jay put the child on his side and handed him over to the ambulance.
“If it weren’t for the teacher, I would have been in big trouble.”
“I’m glad.”
Jay smiled softly at the paramedic’s words.
“thank you so much!”
Soon after, the child’s parents rushed into the hospital to listen to the progress, hugged Jay, who had saved the child, and extended their thanks.
Jay murmured as he watched the family shed tears of emotion next to the child.
“I feel strange.”
“Why is it strange? You did a good job.”
“well······.”
He killed many people while in the army. There were people who deserved to die, and there were people he couldn’t save.
If so, would it be a little better if we saved people?
Jay stared blankly at the T-shirt of the L.A. Fire and Paramedics talking to the staff at the reception desk.

I feel popular. Yoonjae carefully got up from the bed and only rolled his eyes to grasp the situation.
He got up cautiously and opened the door. In the darkness, Yoonjae’s sharp eyes shone.
He took one step at a time against the intruder with extreme death. It was about to make a surprise attack on such a suspicious person.
There was the sound of something hitting and someone falling to the floor.
“······omg.”
Yoongi’s eyes widened and his expression changed. If it was Ten on the battlefield a moment ago, now it was just Yunjay.
When I came to my senses, I saw my half-brother lying down in front of me.
‘Why is he here?’
That’s why… Yunjae frowned because of the pouring headache.
I had an ending party yesterday.
Yoon Do-joon, who barely had two beers, whined that he would be scolded by the manager if he went back to the dorm, and asked him to sleep at his brother’s house, so he brought him to sleep in the guest room.
Then, I felt a suspicious presence, so I thought it was an attacker and prepared myself…
‘Why am I doing this…’
He looked down at the cleaver in his hand and, startled, dropped it to the floor.
I can’t…
Yoonjae hurriedly knelt down on one knee and looked at Yoon Dojun.
“Do-joon! Do-joon.”
I hurriedly checked Yoon Do-joon’s body. At first glance, there was no problem.
He put a finger to his neck and took his pulse. It’s normal. Yunjae let out a sigh of relief and looked around.
‘What happened…’
Open guest room and bathroom. He must have passed out while going to the bathroom while still intoxicated.
If you look closely, you can see a bump on your forehead. On the way back to bed, I think I hit my head on this post and fell down.
“Ugh… I can’t stay at all…”
Yoonjae, whose body was weakened by the sound of comfortable breathing and talking in his sleep, sat down in his seat. He buried his face in his lap and held his trembling hands.
‘I’ve been careless all this time .’
