85 – Ideals and Reality
The porter, taken aback by the hand that stopped him abruptly, hurriedly fixed the knife he was holding in reverse so that he could not be seen.
‘Did I get caught?’
His pulse gradually quickened and his excitement increased.
Let him turn around so he can poke at any moment, his hand not relaxed.
“…Brother?”
Burke, with a hard face, was holding onto the porter’s shoulder.
All the time.
He shook his head slowly and passed the dumbfounded porter to where the bald men were.
“Die, bastard! Die!”
The thief he bumped into was still mercilessly assaulting the man.
– Pleasant!
Every time his merciless kick kicked a man lying down, his body shuddered, and in the end, a woman who was worse than him stood in front of the thieves.
“Please stop… I can do whatever you want, so please don’t hit him…”
Then the thief, who was assaulting him, stopped his feet and started kicking at the woman.
“It should be like that. Your husband has become like this because you don’t open your eyes. Didn’t he usually have something piled up on him?”
While the woman was crying and pleading, another thief helped.
“I guess the male side wasn’t very good. Maybe we should help?”
After exchanging vulgar jokes and giggling, they began to surround the woman.
“It’s just not fun, so take it off yourself.”
The clothes were already ripped to pieces and barely covered important parts, but the thieves took off even that themselves.
“Huh…”
Shame and fear.
A woman with many emotions, but her concern for her husband took precedence, so she decided to let go of a piece of cloth that could no longer be called her clothes.
– Sarak.
“Oh no! Don’t do that!”
A single tear fell from the man’s eyes as he saw his wife sacrifice herself to save him.
Red tears mixed with blood from the torn forehead.
Yes or no.
The thieves each left their impressions with their eyes on the naked woman.
“Isn’t this bad enough for a mother?”
“It’s because I have one child.”
“So who’s going to do it first?”
Excited at the thought of making fun of a woman, as they were deciding their order, a frivolous voice came from somewhere.
“Get out of the way, kids. Don’t you guys have up and down?”
A bald head who violently pushes away the bandits surrounding the woman.
The thieves backed down at his words, but their faces were full of dissatisfaction.
“Hmm.”
The bald head, who approached the woman and glanced at her from top to bottom and then from bottom to top, said the bald head who licked his lips.
“If you guys caught something like this, you shouldn’t have to report it right away. Anyway, these days, they don’t have a lot of compassion. In my day, if I had a good one, I brought it to my older brothers first.”
Then he put his hand on his pants and let out a rough breathing sound.
“This is a good product. I can drain the water properly after the tide.”
The moment when a hand full of obscene desire tried to grab a woman’s breast.
“Hey. What are you doing?”
There was a voice that stopped such baldness.
Tendons sprouted from the top of his sleek head due to a dispute ahead of the event.
“I said I was going to have some fun, but what kind of cowardly bastard is now…!”
However, the bald head looked back nervously and soon had no choice but to put on a puzzled expression.
“Burke? What are you doing here?”
No matter how low the order is, the head is the head.
Burke, walking out from among the bewildered men, opened his mouth to his bald head.
“Because I don’t understand what you’re doing.”
“A guy who doesn’t normally care about things like this…”
Then, a sinister smile came from the mouth of the bald man who had suddenly realized something.
“Ah. Did you like a girl like this?”
He pretended not to, and then the bald man who muttered to himself that he was a man said as if he was patronizing him.
“I’ll let you use it after I’ve written it, so wait for Jindeuk there. It will take me a while, so don’t stand still. Kkeuk.”
The bald head turned to the woman and tried to continue what he was doing before, but Burke stopped him again.
“Does the captain know you’re doing this?”
“What…?”
Seeing his taken aback expression, Burke scolded him with a pitiful tone.
“I didn’t expect it, but the captain didn’t even touch it, so what are you trying to do now?
“That, what is that now…!”
When the bald head heard Burke’s words and panicked, a commotion broke out among his men.
“What? Didn’t you report it to the captain too?”
“But what about us? Compassionate hair?”
“He’s my older brother, but he’s really embarrassing.”
The bald head, who had heard all this, turned his face red and shouted at his men.
“Shut up you bastards!”
His appearance reminded me of an octopus who was very angry because his scalp was dyed red.
Burke said to the octopus.
“What if I report this to the captain?”
“…”
The bald head, who was sweating at Burke’s words, eventually spat out the best excuse he could think of.
“What is that …. Ah! What if this year is in sickness? So I checked and tried to post it to the captain.
Although he was bald, expecting supporting fire from his men.
Perhaps they couldn’t bear to see such a big brother any longer, but the answer they returned was quite different from what he had hoped for.
“Brother. Even in our opinion, that doesn’t seem like much.”
“Please stop before it gets ugly, brother.”
The bald man gnashed his teeth at the sight of his subordinates giving him advice.
‘They’re not the other guys, but in front of Burke….’
Eventually, he began to conciliate Burke one last time.
“I’ll let you use it first, so can’t you keep it a secret from the captain…?”
Seeing his humiliation, Burke let out a deep sigh.
“It’s okay. I’ll keep this a secret, so don’t think about touching it and keep it quietly.”
Burke said that he would turn a blind eye to it, but his bald head seemed to have lost his senses and added another word.
“That… If you wash it well, the captain won’t even know?”
Burke was furious at his tenacity.
“You don’t know how many women the captain has f*cked. You really didn’t think it would go unnoticed, did you?”
If Burke were just a bummer, he wouldn’t even be able to wear a head.
I was sincere enough to take care of my family.
Being almost the only one among thieves, the fact that his head was rolling also played a role.
Then what I am saying now must also be true.
Hearing those words, the bald man’s complexion went pale.
“That, is that real?”
“Then it’s real.”
Burke opened his mouth while the bald head, who couldn’t be bothered anymore, was fidgeting.
“So don’t do anything stupid and just lock it up quietly.”
“Ah, okay, you should be good at cracking down on your mouth too!”
After saying that, the bald head disappeared somewhere with the family he had captured.
After sorting out the situation, Burke returned to the porter.
“Once they went to jail. So leave that aside.”
The porter couldn’t help but be taken aback by his appearance as if he already knew everything.
“Brother. Why the hell…”
“It’s a bit different here, let’s go back and talk.”
I wanted to ask what you did just now, but I couldn’t.
Because Burke’s voice, saying that, sounded somewhat melancholy.
“…”
As he silently followed him back to his lodgings, his older brothers jumped out with socks and welcomed him.
“Welcome bro.”
“How is your body, maknae? Doesn’t it itch or something?”
He was full of thoughts of killing the bandits until just now, but this kind of kindness was burdensome.
I felt uncomfortable seeing the older brothers who were no different than usual.
The time when unburnt emotions were disturbing him.
Burke, who hadn’t said anything on the way, opened his mouth.
“I don’t know exactly what you’re thinking, but looking at your face, I need to stop it. You’re looking like you’re going to get into big trouble.”
At his words, the older brothers also noticed that the atmosphere was strange and shut up.
I also understood the porter to a certain extent.
Thanks to Burke stepping up instead, I could see that it was resolved rather well.
However, that understanding was only halfway there.
“But didn’t my older brother see it too! They tried to rape their parents in front of their children, and then beat them to death. What kind of people would do that?!”
Seeing the porter pouring out his emotions, Burke replied in a low voice.
“…We are bandits.”
The porter hesitated at the self-deprecating answer, but he did not back down.
“Then why did you stop me? Why did you arrange the situation instead! My brother is also a thief, so he asks why did you act like that? Now!”
I’ve seen him from the side so far, he was at least a good person.
I hoped that he would agree with my opinion, saying that the action I had just made came from that aspect.
“They should be treated like that because they did something wrong…”
The porter looked forward to him, but what he got back was a completely different answer.
“My parents and I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“…Yes?”
“Tongue, bro. You don’t talk about that…”
“Maknae, apologize quickly too!”
The embarrassed brothers stopped Burke, but he said it was okay and made eye contact with me.
“My parents died at the hands of bandits.”
