49 – Episode 49

Oh Gyu-heon, who has hearing ability, was running away with all his might for the first time in his life.

Although I worked in the hero support team for many years, I worked in a position that was far from combat, so I thought it might be dangerous even during the height of the war against crime, but I never directly felt my life threatened.

Moreover, he had never imagined that he would be over 70 years old after retirement, so he would have to pursue a chase, so the current situation was even more difficult.

“Heogee….. Huhuk…”

Even the hero support team, which is only in charge of supporting heroes and is not directly related to battles, is bound to receive basic physical training and combat training, but it has already been retired for more than ten years and its frail body is far from exercise. I had lived a long distance, and the life of confinement continued, and I hadn’t run very far, but I was already out of breath.

I was almost deaf due to hearing loss due to aging, but thanks to that, the guards used to chat without being vigilant. I could barely overhear the conversation.

For several weeks, I managed to escape by quietly listening, pretending to give up, figuring out the shift time, and using my hearing ability to hear footsteps receding and figure out the patrol route.

The sanitarium was located in a very remote place, and when he remembered his son, who had been complaining that it was too remote and remote, and made an excuse that he could live secludedly because he was close to nature, his anger boiled over.

—————————–

The betrayal of his son, who was raised in an environment so affluent that he did not feel a sense of relative deprivation to children from families with a lot of money while frantically working extra hours in the hero support team, earning money like a tenacity. It even made me feel a sense of despair.

I started experiencing inconveniences in my daily life as my health gradually deteriorated due to aging and I could not hear well. Even when I entered this nursing home for ‘a while’ for a ‘comfortable old age’, I didn’t think that a hellish life would begin.

The facilities of the sanatorium looked so fine and tidy on the outside.

Since it was a facility where several nurses actually took care of the physically and mentally disabled elderly, at first, the male nurses felt comfortable taking care of this and that, and the ‘urgent work’ of the son’s business was quickly finished and he went home. I thought I could go back.

However, as time passed, the number of visits decreased, and living with only elderly people with mental or physical disabilities around them became uncomfortable.

When I finally asked to leave the hospital, saying I would return home, I realized that this was no ordinary nursing home.

Unsurprisingly, the patient at the nursing home refused to accept the request to leave the hospital, saying that he needed help.

I couldn’t help but be embarrassed to hear that I couldn’t get out of the nursing home that I had entered on my own, and I was very angry and just wanted to pack up and leave.

“Catch it.”

“Aagh!”

Oh Kyu-heon, who tried to get out of the sanitarium with dignity, couldn’t even get out of his room and screamed in pain as he was caught with his wrists bent.

“A senile old man bothers me. Ah! Be still.”

The bulky nurses treated them as mentally ill old men and mercilessly suppressed them.

Unbeknownst to him, he had officially become an old man with Alzheimer’s while living in a nursing home, and was forced to take psychotropic drugs while confined.

Even at this point, she thought that something must be wrong and begged her to contact her son, but the male nurses ignored her request without pretending to listen.

Forced-feeding psychotropic drugs made him lose all motivation and make it difficult to move, but he kept asking for a phone call from his son, thinking that something had gone wrong somewhere.

“Let me talk to my son. Am I not supposed to be here?”

“Grandpa. Isn’t it about time you noticed? Do you still think he will do something if I talk to him on the phone?”

I could barely hear the sound from a short distance away, but the nurse dared to speak in my ear.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Ha~ He really is a careless old man. The reason I’m here is because of your son, so stop chatting and bothering me and stay calm. f*ck you.”

I was so shocked that I couldn’t even pay attention to the blue-eyed kid swearing at me, and I was dazed.

Peruk

“You asshole, didn’t I tell you not to talk nonsense? Aren’t you careful?”

A man who was following me while reading a comic book slapped the man in the back of the head for swearing at me.

Cell phones and telephones do not exist here.

“Sorry. Older brother. But this skunk keeps repeating the same thing every time he takes medicine.”

Pair

“Is this bastard talking back? f*ck, were you taught to be good at guarding your mouth or not? If you continue to f*ck, I told you to put it down, close it, and ignore it, right?”

The man got angry this time by slapping him on the cheek.

“Sorry.”

It wasn’t until that day that Oh Kyu-heon realized what kind of situation he was in.

After that, the man who was slapped would harass him quietly whenever he got a chance, either by slapping his cheek or by twisting his limbs weakly to inflict pain.

Because of the medicine, I couldn’t resist properly and couldn’t help but look at it helplessly.

The violence inflicted every day, saying it was time to eat, waking people up with a slap on the cheek or refusing to take pills was so inhumane.

It was hard to bear the violence, but even when taking a shower, it was mentally difficult to bear the thought of spraying water on me while taking a shower, saying that I might commit suicide, and insulting my decrepit body.

As he went through his hellish confinement day after day, he thought about his son’s awkward behavior and the reason why he did such a thing while chewing on the situation before he came here.

Although my hearing loss got worse, the condition wasn’t serious enough to put me in a nursing home, but I knew that it was only to help me, who was uncomfortable with my body, that I went to various hospitals for checkups, citing various reasons, such as support money.

He should have noticed when he said he would take care of the pension he received from working for the hero support team for a long time.

My eyesight is deteriorating and it is hard to go outside, so I pretended to leave it to my son to alleviate the hassle. I pretended not to know that it would be so difficult.

Of course, I was able to do that because I had a lot of assets saved as well as my pension.

The profit of the hero support team is high, but it is not enough to be called a high salary. During my work, I had many opportunities to work with Kim Chun-sam, one of the strongest heroes in Korea, and was supported day and night. As we went, we got to see each other a lot, so we became friends.

There were many cases where asset managers or business proposals came around the gale, which is one of Korea’s leading heroes and receives huge annual salaries. Invested in the company.

Kim Chun-sam’s business, which gained the title of Korea’s strongest hero thanks to ‘Invincible Taekwondo’, which disappeared while working as a hero, grew like wings, and I also made great profits. Could get

It’s not that I didn’t think about retiring and living by spending my suddenly multiplied fortune, but I decided to give back to society after I died, thinking how much I would have to do if I lived well at this age.

Since I’m older, I thought about my will and after death, and I didn’t become the hero I wanted to be as a child. Content was corrected.

When I thought that far, I was sure that my son had confirmed the contents of the will.

Until now, I had been in despair for several months and had just spent the night lying in tears until this was the end.

He becomes aware of the situation he is in and his son. No, I pretended to adapt to the situation in the end, looking for a chance to escape quietly with a body weakened by medicine with a vengeance on the beast.

If only I could escape from this place, or if I could tell my situation to a junior hero who is unfamiliar with it, I would never dismiss it as a rampage of an old man with dementia.

I have never personally participated in hero activities or made a strategy plan, but I made plans little by little while remembering hearing the explanation of the strategy when I was young.

I have memorized the structure of the building completely in my head for several months, and I can’t even hear the tremendous sound of the street like I did when I was young, but during my life in confinement, the only thing I could do was to use my ability to listen to the sound, so I couldn’t stop using my ability. As a result of using the ability, it was possible to restore the ability to a hearing level that is better than that of ordinary people.

I was able to secretly eavesdrop on the sound of the password to the door to the outside, using my ability desperately, and I was able to figure out the password by discriminating the sound made by each number.

Finally, in order to solve the sound of entering the password and the sound of the door opening and closing, I was able to successfully escape by finding out the patrol route and shift time.

However, going from a sanatorium in the suburbs to a place with people was a different matter.

—————————–

Hoping to be able to borrow a payphone or a cell phone from a passer-by, I had just left the nursing home, but I was already exhausted and my legs were trembling, and I walked desperately.

Since it is the time when people are most careless, I tried to escape at dawn based on the experience that the operation was conducted between 3 and 4 am. I couldn’t even find a single car.

Now it’s time for the nursing home to notice that I’ve disappeared, so I’m getting more and more nervous.

How long did it take? Little by little the day was getting brighter.

Now I was so out of breath that I couldn’t think of anything, and I was mechanically moving my feet.

And finally, I spotted a car moving this way.

The light from the headlights of the car was so welcome.

It’s a bit dangerous, but I blocked the road and stopped the car with my arms wide open.

“No f*ck! Old man! Are you excited to turn around?”

“Heeuk… Heouk…”

As soon as I opened the window, the man who quickly spat out swear words took a closer look at my appearance and put on a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Huh? Hey Grandpa, are you okay?”

“Heo-eok… I… Called……. It’s a little… Heh…”

Seeing my body wet with sweat and shedding tears wearing clothes like a patient’s uniform, I looked embarrassed.

“Grandpa, slow down and catch your breath.”

“Let’s just make a phone call… Just one call…”

I thought I was alive now, so I sat down on the ground, caught my breath, and spoke.

“I don’t know what you’re doing, but yes, here for now.”

Fortunately, a man who stopped on the side of the road readily lent me his cell phone.

“That… You know the touch screen, right? You can just press the number on the screen here.”

ㅡThe number you dialed now does not exist. Please check again and walk.

Unfortunately, the phone number of ‘Gale’ that I remember was so old that it seemed like it had been changed a long time ago.

I called the second person I thought of before escaping.

Hoping to be able to come running right away, I contacted him directly and gave him official permission to use the hero name, which is the first letter of ‘Gale’.

We got along well before retiring, and even after retiring we would occasionally go out for drinks or go fishing together.

ㅡ Hello?

Unfortunately, I was worried that the owner of the second phone call had changed, but I asked if it was my wife or girlfriend.

“Isn’t this the phone number of Lee Taek Kim?”

ㅡThat’s right, but may I know what your name is?

“Lee Taek was a senior at work a long time ago, and I have something to tell you about something urgent. Please change Lee Taek. It’s really urgent.”

ㅡMy husband died during the operation. I’m sorry, but I don’t think we can change your phone.

I was a little dizzy from the unexpected sad news.

I was wondering if I should convey words of consolation, but my eyes brightened.

Good luck!

“There it is!”

Looking back, I saw a van arriving at the nursing home.

“I am confined to Hanseong Eunhye Nursing Home! My name is Kyuheon Oh! Please inform the competent person response team!”

“Catch!”

I tried to run away, but I was so exhausted that even getting up from the seat was difficult.

In the end, I was quickly caught and had no choice but to watch them inject themselves.

“What is going on?”

When the owner of the mobile phone, startled by the sudden situation, shouted, a man who got out of the van answered by holding out his business card.

“Oh hello. I work at Eunhye Nursing Home in Hanseong, and a patient with dementia escaped from the hospital overnight.”

“Ah…”

“You must have been a little embarrassed, but thank you for protecting the patient!”
