chapter 11
11 – Process for Build Up (4)
***
I returned home with a shopping bag full of shirts.
‘The remaining money is 4.2 Million won.’
I don’t want to go through the luxury of spending more money with this money.
Siwoon recalled his past life.
It was always failure and repetition of failure.
A nightmare-like past life.
At that time, my parents cheered me on and supported me.
‘By the way… I was upset with my parents. I’ll give all the money left over to my parents.’
The reason Siwoon can never fail in her life.
One of the biggest was the family.
Somehow,
I want to be successful and raise a difficult family.
And I want to make my family live luxuriously and proudly without being ignored by others anymore.
I immediately went into the bathroom and washed my face with cold water.
“Uhhh~”
As the cold water touched my skin, I let out a moan.
After getting rid of sleep like that, Siwoon sat down at his desk.
Then she opened a book.
-Theory of Hunter Studies.
‘It’s the beginning of my studies.’
Splash! Slam! Slam!
Start to turn the pages quickly with speed reading.
In that way, Siwoon’s room was filled with the sound of turning the pages.

“Thanks for your hard work!”
The new Gyeong-cheol bowed his head and greeted his superiors.
“Oh, our Kyung-cheol did a good job today too. Didn’t our Kang Dong-seo do something today? Let’s go eat meat together!”
One of the superiors said as he prepared to change into his Gyeongbok.
“Ah… what to do I have an important prior appointment.”
“Pre-arrangement? Did you have any prior arrangements?”
“Yes. It’s a rather important prior promise.”
“Uh, what…. Okay, let’s go.”
“Yes! I’ll stop working. Thank you all for your hard work!”
The cops in light uniforms all changed into plain clothes and glanced at Kyung-chul as he was leaving work in a hurry.
The superiors look on in wonder as Kyung-cheol hurries out of the office after changing into plain clothes.
“Does Kyung-chul have something urgent? Sergeant.”
“There is a prior agreement, right? ….”
“What kind of promise are you leaving in such a hurry? Your complexion is different.”
“Can’t you tell just by looking at it? I’m going to meet my girlfriend~ Isn’t it a bit busy meeting girls at that age? Now! Let’s move to the meat restaurant!”
“Old story.”
Turb. Turbuck. Turbuck.
After leaving the police station, Kyung-chul’s gait was as fast as a person who is being chased by anxiety.
After receiving a text message, Kyung-cheol went straight to the police station and looked around him.
Bread! Baang!
I heard the sound of a crack.
Hearing a sound, Kyung-chul turned his head there.
– Flash – flash
The passenger side window of a black car with flashing headlights opens.
“Take it.”
The man in the car spoke to Kyung-chul in a begging voice.
Kyung-cheol looked around and confirmed that no one was there,
I hurriedly opened the car door.
With a rattling sound, Kyung-cheol boarded the passenger seat.
“What should I do if I come to the police station!”
“That’s why I texted you in advance.”
The appearance of the man in the driver’s seat was unusual.
Heavy build, shaved head, tattoos on the neckline extending over his shirt.
At first glance, he was a person engaged in the underground market.
“This is in front of my workplace… ….”
“Shut up. This bastard.”
“What are you here for?”
“What happened?”
The man moves his hand like lightning and grabs the hem of Kyung-chul’s shirt.
Keung-chul was caught by the collar, and his breath was choked.
I didn’t have the courage to resist the man’s grip to the point where I could hear a scream.
“Hey, Kim Gyeong-cheol.”
“… ….”
“I know everything. My trademark brother said he was booked here at the Gangdong-gu Police Station.”
“What about that?”
“So what?”
The man made a motion to hit the light iron with his other hand.
Kyung-chul reflexively shrank his body.
There was a reason why he couldn’t lay a hand on such a bully even though he was a police officer.
Kyung-cheol already has a relationship with Kim Sang-pyo, the leader of the famous Incheon organization Sajupa.
Including Gyeong-cheol, a homicide detective here in Gangdong-seo, and several detectives at police stations in the Seoul area have a history of receiving s*xual favors from the Sajupa.
It’s not just s*xual entertainment,
He even received a bribe, and in return, the gangsters were promised to help Kim Sang-pyo escape and inform him of the route the police tracked the trademark.
Kim Gyeong-cheol had no intention of accepting entertainment at first.
However, with the salary of a mediocre policeman, it is difficult to live in the world, so after receiving entertainment once, he succumbed to temptation and even accepted a bribe.
Kyung-chul is now the leader of the Saju faction.
But today I couldn’t help it.
Because a tip-off phone call came in without a chance to grasp prior information, and the police had to rush to the scene after receiving the tip.
You can’t just stop and tell them not to go to the cops who are about to go to the post of constable.
“Ha…. How did you know that?”
“I was supposed to meet my brother at a cafe today. But by the time I went, brother was already being dragged by the cops like a dog?”
“……….”
“Do you know how f*cked up I felt then? When my beloved older brother is being dragged away receiving such rude treatment right in front of my eyes, I, the younger brother, can’t do anything!!”
Kyungcheol sighed and kept his mouth shut.
“After my older brother was taken away, I got into a parked car and immediately followed the police car that was dragging my older brother away. The place they were heading to is the Gangdong-gu Police Station. You f*cking bastard!”
Paak!
“Keuk.”
Kwajik! As soon as the man’s fist landed on Kyung-chul’s chin, Gyeong-cheol ricocheted out and smashed his head into the window.
It wasn’t a fist that hit people.
The pain was transmitted from the part hit by the heavy gangster’s fist to the head.
A moment of silence followed by a dull sound.
“Shouldn’t you have contacted me in advance? Even a cop, no matter how much he is, must be aware of the dynamics of that place.”
“Turn it off…. I couldn’t help it either.”
Something red was pouring out of Gyeong-cheol’s nose before he knew it.
Kyung-cheol frowned as he wiped the bleeding nose with a miserable expression. Soon he opens his mouth.
“That… …. A young citizen reported it.”
“Report?”
“Yes. I saw the wanted flyer and contacted our office.”
“Haa… …. f*ck.”
The man asked for a cigarette to calm her down.
The lighter clicked and the cigarette crackled as it burned.
“Who is the bastard who reported that?”
“What are you going to do?”
“What the f*ck. You should put a knife in your back.”
“Are you crazy? Currently, the only people who know the citizen’s personal information are the detectives of the Gangdong Police Station. But if that happens, we’ll all be under suspicion!”
“Shut up, you bastard. Everything you’ve been entertained by us is on the list. Do you want to be f*cked once?”
“Wait a minute. Think about it too. My position too.”
“Your position? f*ck you, motherf*cker.”
Gyeong-chul’s head was dizzy.
‘I wasn’t being entertained… ….’
“Quickly hand over the bastard’s personal information.”
“Ha, can’t we just skip this one time? Please.”
The man had no intention of accepting Kyung-cheol’s request.
Let’s pretend to hit Kyung-chul one more time, he said with trembling lips.
“I-I am Lee Si-woon.”
“Where does that bastard live?”
***
The dull water of the Han River under the bridge seemed to be unfathomably deep.
If you jump in like this, everything is not over.
Shiwoon clenched his teeth in fear and clenched his fists.
I took off the pair of shoes I was wearing one by one.
“I’m going back…. Now, at my late age, I can’t start anything.”
I’m scared.
How much pain would it be to jump into the Han River with such strong waves?
Is the skin torn?
It will even cost you the pain of being frozen. But compared to the pain of living like this now, it’s fleeting.
And I will definitely be able to go back.
At the age of twenty-three.
I got caught with one leg on the bridge.
Then a car coming from the other side stopped abruptly.
The car door opened and a man jumped out and ran to Siwoon.
“Hey! What are you doing there?!”
Siwoon perched on top of the railing and looked back.
At this moment, cars with flashing headlights stop and look at themselves.
‘I didn’t want to make this choice myself.’
A man came running.
I shook off the man’s hand trying to stop him from committing Suic*de.
“Get out of the way!!”
“You can’t do this! Hey!!”
Siwoon looks down again from the top of the bridge at a dizzying height.
Surely, if I die this time, life will be rare again. Because it was like that in my previous life.
No, it has to be.
However, it was not easy to endure the fear and pain at the moment of death.
The moment he was about to release his butt from his iron railing, the man desperately hugged Siwoon by the waist.
“Hey, think again… …. Life is precious.”
“I understand your feelings… …. Get out of the way!”
“Hey, sir!”
I don’t let go easily.
“Get out of the way!!”
Cars that were speeding along the Mapo Bridge opened the driver’s window and began to stare at the scene in amazement as they drove slowly.
I feel sorry for the actions of a thirty-four-year-old man who tried to turn his back on his life, so he hurriedly turned on the hazard lights to stop Si-woon from committing Suic*de, stopped the car, and helped the man who was drying him.
Among them, a woman was seen holding up his cellphone and calling the police.
“No!”
“Get out of the way.”
“Everyone, try to stop this person!”
“Get out of the way!! What do you know, kids?”
Since the three men grabbed Siwoon tightly and refused to let go, Siwoon’s body became entangled on the railing.
Siwoon closed his eyes tightly and gave his last desperate struggle.
Then the moment your vision is distorted.
I could hear people screaming horrifyingly.
Siwoon opened his closed eyes at the strange feeling of falling.
The cold water of the Han River was gradually approaching his eyes.
Cheolppuduk-!!!
He fell headfirst.
First of all, the impact of water pressure applied to the eyes.
I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t even scream.
What is the pain of the cold water of the Han River hitting your eyeballs?
It hurt so much.
The inside of the Han River that I looked at with my eyes open was darkness itself.
“Aagh!!”
When I opened my eyes, I was in a room.
It was a dream.
Siwoon wiped his sweaty forehead and got up from the bed.
It was a dream, but it was definitely the last moment of her second life.
‘Why did that moment suddenly reappear as a dream… …. Ugh! My eyes hurt again.’
That was the pain.
That intense pain I experienced as soon as I had a rare Siwoon.
Innumerable lights enter my eyes, and I forcefully close my eyes in the glare.
When I opened my eyes, tears started pouring out of my lacrimal glands and wet my eyes.
My head hurts so much.
“Aww!!”
I grabbed my eyes and put my head on the bed.
An hour has passed.
But the pain didn’t seem to go away.
Why did this pain suddenly come again?
Is it that the third life that is about to be resolved is at least another hardship?
‘It will be okay after a while. I’m taking a deep breath.’
I looked around the room to find the artificial tears prescribed by the hospital.
Then he struggled to open his eyes and put artificial tears in them.
“Aagh!!”
I immediately rushed to the bathroom because of the crazy pain, like hydrochloric acid in my eyes.
And frantically washing her face at the washbasin, she struggled to wash off the eye drops that had gotten into her eyes.
“Ahhh… ….”
My headache started to get worse and I soon lost my mind.
“Ah… ….”
I am worried that I might end up like this.
Still flopping on the floor! Fell down
I tried to move my body, but my body wouldn’t move.
I stretched out one hand and reached for the cell phone that was placed on Siwoon’s desk.
I can’t reach it.
‘Mother! Father!’
