Chapter 59 : That's Crossing the Line
On her way here, Eunbyeol mind was a whirlwind of anxiety and worry.
With every step she took, the image of Se-won reddened face kept flashing through her mind.
She didn't know why such a photo had been sent, but if that situation was still ongoing...
Just the thought made her heart pound fiercely.
Almost 20 minutes had passed since the photo was sent.
In fact, she had managed to shave off some time by rushing out of the subway and running as fast as she could.
It was a short period, but enough time to inflict trauma on someone.
With every step she took forward, the injuries on Se-won in her imagination grew worse.
Sometimes he was slapped, sometimes his hair was pulled, and sometimes fists were driven into his body.
Eventually, even a scene of him being sexually harassed played out in her mind.
"Please..."
Her thoughts were spiraling towards the worst-case scenario.
At the very least, she believed Se-won would be terrified in some way.
In her mind, no one could keep their composure among a group of rough thugs.
Undoubtedly, she thought Se-won would be trembling without putting up any resistance.
...Perhaps that's why.
"...Huh?"
She was even more taken aback by the situation before her eyes.
"What is this..."
It was quite similar to what she had imagined.
But there was also something odd about it.
It certainly seemed to follow her anxious thoughts, but something felt off.
Indeed, Se-won was surrounded by some troublemakers. His face was red, as if he had actually been subjected to violence.
Dust covered his body, suggesting he had been rolling around.
Physically, the situation wasn't much different from what Eunbyeol had imagined.
Except for the three thugs lying on the ground.
Except for Se-won, surrounded by the thugs, smirking.
If those three thugs hadn't been on the ground, if Se-won hadn't been smirking amidst the troublemakers, Eunbyeol might have rushed in, furious.
Even if unintended, she might have intervened to save Se-won as per the original scenario.
But seeing him so composed at the center of the threat.
She couldn't help but freeze in place for a moment, unable to act.
"Phew, you came quickly."
As she stood frozen, Se-won spoke up.
He briefly chuckled in relief, then pointed to the ground with a colder gaze than usual.
"First, hold onto that guy."
His voice was sharper than usual.
A voice cold enough to lower the surrounding temperature by a degree.
At his calm command, she instinctively grabbed Han Ho-cheol, who was lying at her feet.
...
'Phew, that was a close call.'
After seeing Eunbyeol grab Han Ho-cheol, I sighed in relief internally.
I never expected him to run away, leaving his own people behind. It was something I hadn't anticipated.
I thought he would join the fight, not just turn tail and run.
'Tsk.'
I clicked my tongue at him.
'Really, I don't like him at all.'
The sight of him trying to escape without taking responsibility for what he had done. Even the thugs facing me seemed taken aback, standing dumbfounded. I watched them for a moment and then felt a brief sense of relief inside.
'Thank goodness.'
Honestly, I was reaching my limit.
No matter how much I endured, there was a limit, and I was starting to feel the limits of my stamina. To be honest, I had taken down the three in front of me more by trickery than anything else.
It was clear that in my current state, I wouldn't be able to take down the two women in front of me.
In that sense, Eunbyeol's appearance was very welcome. She didn't even need to participate in the fight.
Just her presence alone would drain the will of those guys. They were already reluctant to fight, as that fluorescent pants girl had said.
In a situation where their chances of winning had plummeted, there was no need for them to stay from their perspective.
"Well then, shall we continue our earlier conversation?"
So, I spoke up.
I felt the same way.
I didn't want to stay here any longer, and I didn't want to engage in unnecessary fights.
Honestly, these guys were annoying, but considering they were dragged into this, I could give them some leeway.
I looked around briefly and then muttered a word.
"I'll let you go."
I repeated the same words that the girl in fluorescent pants had said earlier.
But this time, the subject was completely different.
It wasn't about them sending me off, but about me letting them go.
I was the one in the superior position, and as such, a price was necessary.
And from now on, the price I wanted was only one thing.
I moved only my finger to point in a certain direction again.
"Instead, leave that guy behind."
At the end of my finger, as always, sat Han Ho-cheol.
The guy who was momentarily pointed at flinched.
I still hadn't forgiven the guy.
Those who recklessly try to harm others need to be educated, and if they wanted a return, they should have considered the risks involved.
"But..."
At my words, the other party seemed momentarily troubled.
They seemed to welcome the idea of leaving but were hesitant about leaving him behind.
After all, they were friends with Han Ho-cheol.
If they abandoned him and ran away in this situation, their relationship would surely break down. It was natural for them to be troubled since they would have to cut ties with him, whether they liked it or not.
'But what can I do about that.'
That was only their position. I didn't need to consider that at all.
I silently glared at them.
"......"
"......"
An uncomfortable silence passed between us for a moment. No one opened their mouth; only their eyes gleamed.
The other party seemed unable to make a decision easily and just frowned.
After some time had passed.
"L-let's just go."
The girl in fluorescent hot pants, who had been trembling on the ground all along, spoke up. She continued with a frown.
"Anyway, that guy tried to run away first, didn't he? F*** it, he should clean up his own mess."
"Oh!"
Hearing that, I lightly admired her.
Ah, right.
You're someone I can talk to.
You should take responsibility for what you've done first. My favorability towards the girl in fluorescent pants momentarily increased.
I extended my hand towards the exit of the alley as if to escort them. It was a gesture telling them to quickly leave this way.
"Please hurry and leave this way, customers."
"......What the hell, getting caught up with a crazy guy like that."
The girl in fluorescent pants looked at me with a slightly disgusted expression, then started to leave through the alley I had escorted her to.
With the relatively unharmed two supporting the three on the ground, it didn't take long for them to leave.
I diligently guided them until their figures disappeared.
Ah, even in this situation, I can maintain my manners. I felt like they would fall in love with my personality.
I'm amazing! I'm proud of myself, Se-won!
"......Now."
After briefly acting crazy, I looked back at Han Ho-cheol.
I saw him struggling as if he knew something bad was about to happen to him.
He was wriggling hard against Eunbyeol, who was holding his arm. Fortunately, since she wasn't loosening her grip, his actions were in vain.
Finally, all the troublemakers were gone.
"It's time to take responsibility?"
Now it was time to punish the one who caused this mess.
My eyes gradually grew colder.
*
Before approaching him, I lightly exhaled.
It wasn't like I was approaching a bride or anything, but I felt unnecessarily tense.
"Phew......"
The breath that came out of my lungs scattered in the air.
Like the heated heat escaping, my head gradually cooled as I exhaled.
......No, should I say it's cooling?
There's something odd about that.
It's just temporarily solidifying something that was boiling inside.
It's just reorganizing the irritation and anger swirling in my head and holding them back so they don't run wild.
My anger hasn't been resolved yet, so it's just maintaining calm before it runs wild.
"......"
What should I start with?
There are many things to hold against him: trying to dunk me arbitrarily, slapping me out of nowhere, spewing nonsense when things didn't go his way.
There are many behaviors that come to mind.
But among them, there was clearly one thing I disliked the most.
"Let go! Eunbyeol, let go for a second, okay?"
Suddenly, looking ahead, I saw him struggling hard.
The situation had completely reversed, and he was very flustered.
He probably never imagined things would turn out like this. Of course, that didn't make me feel any sympathy for him.
There's a saying that if you want to harm others, you should dig two graves. He just didn't follow that.
I slowly walked towards him to dig his grave with my own hands.
"Hey, I tend to hold back my anger a lot? I've been in a lot of trouble since I was young."
And I brought up a rather irrelevant story. Maybe it was a personal story that didn't have much to do with this situation.
It was sudden, but for some reason, I wanted to tell this story.
"My body looks weak, but I guess I glare fiercely for no reason. Anyway, I've had a lot of trouble."
Especially during high school and when I was a repeat student.
I wasn't particularly bullied or anything.
But I was a gloomy guy who drew pictures all day, and I always glared at people whenever I saw them. It seems that was particularly annoying at that age full of vigor.
So, I often got into trouble with complete strangers, and I often got caught up in trouble.
Actually, my personality was quite bad back then. I was on edge because of the college entrance exams, so I often got into fights.
I often got into fistfights, and I sometimes walked around with my eyes wide open to look tough.
F*** it, I didn't want to be like this, and I felt resentful.
But that was only temporary.
In the end, I learned to endure.
Violence was quite a troublesome thing.
Regardless of whether I could win or not, the aftermath was very bothersome.
Healing wounds cost money, and if things got bigger, third parties who weren't even involved would step in.
Society was structured in a quite complex way, so you couldn't just stab someone because you were angry, like in the medieval times.
There was no need to make enemies in the world.
It was better to avoid fights that could be avoided.
This had become my life motto, and thanks to that, I was able to avoid quite a lot of trouble.
Perhaps my personality stemmed from this.
A strange personality where I was infinitely cautious around awkward people, but only played mischievous pranks on those I was a little close to or those I found easy to handle.
"But there's a problem with living like this, occasionally people cross the line, like you."
I said that and changed my posture to a squatting position. At some point, my steps had brought me in front of him.
I looked at the nervous guy for a moment.
And slapped his cheek.
Slap!!!
A crisp sound echoed nearby.
A stinging pain spread across my palm, but I ignored it and continued speaking.
"At times like this, there's no other way. I just have to make it clear through actions."
So that he never crosses the line again. I'm going to make it thoroughly clear.
As I muttered that, the guy trembled and said,
"J-just a moment. I'm sorry..."
The shock must have been quite strong as his eyes were trembling. He couldn't meet my gaze and just looked down.
I looked at him silently for a moment.
And then slapped his cheek again.
Slap!!!
"Then you shouldn't have done something to be sorry about."
As I said that, my voice sounded surprisingly cold to me.
I tended to become quiet rather than shout when I was angry.
Hearing my voice sink this low.
I must have been quite angry without realizing it.
"Honestly, I could have tolerated you slapping my cheek or cursing at me."
Slap! Slap!
I continued talking while repeatedly slapping the guy's cheek.
With each sound, my palm accelerated.
"And I could have tolerated you calling me an idiot and ignoring my efforts once."
Slap! Slap!!
In my hand that was slapping his cheek, calluses had formed.
Sometime ago, traces of years of holding a pen.
Hundreds of copies and thousands of croquis.
My past where I ran desperately with a resolve to die, but failed.
I was proud of my efforts, but the fact that I ultimately failed.
From an outsider's perspective, it wasn't something that could be denied.
The mood was really bad, but it was something I could tolerate enough.
"But."
Slap!!!!!
"Ugh!"
This time, the sound of the slap was particularly loud.
I had put a bit more strength into my hand.
I paused the barrage of slaps and continued speaking.
"You shouldn't curse at someone's parents carelessly."
If you're going to curse, you should have only cursed at me.
Even if you hit or got angry, you shouldn't have involved a third party.
That was a word that insulted not only me but also those who had sacrificed to support me.
It wasn't something that could be tolerated, but something that shouldn't be tolerated.
Slap!!! Slap!!! Slap!!!
The sound of slaps echoed for a while.
I silently and mechanically repeated the action.
Sometimes the guy would raise his hand to block, but his trembling hand was very easy to push away.
Eunbyeol would occasionally try to interfere in a panic, but I ignored her for now. This was the time to focus on this task.
Slap!!! Slap!!!!
With each repeated gesture, the guy's cheek gradually changed.
His cheek, which had just been red, gradually turned redder as the blood vessels burst, and the red cheek swelled up.
After slapping him a few more times.
"Sniff... I'm sorry. Ah, no... I'm sorry..."
The guy trembled and offered me an apology. His tone, which had been casual, had now changed to polite speech.
"Please... I won't do it again, so please forgive me this time..."
"......"
The arrogant attitude he had shown initially was completely gone. He had succumbed to the continuous violence.
Perhaps this was the attitude he had initially expected from me.
Looking at him, I smirked.
"Alright. Just let me slap the other cheek as well."
And for a while, only the crisp sound echoed in the alley.
