Regression Life Starting With Two Traits

Chapter 048 Keep your self-blame short, but don’t forget it for the rest of your life

Kim Hee-jin apologized several times after that.

“Why is he like this? What did you do wrong?”

I was able to barely stop apologizing because Lee Hwi-hyung and I stopped.

“Sniff. If I had been careful, this wouldn’t have happened. It’s my fault.”

Kim Hee-jin was blaming herself severely. Even though she hadn’t done anything wrong.

“What the hell did you do wrong? Let’s talk about it.”

When I asked, Heejin wiped away her tears and told the story.

“I thought he came to us with good intentions. I wasn’t bringing in strangers… … . sorry. I was trying to hear the story, hoping it would be of some help.”

I grabbed Heejin’s shoulder and talked to her.

“Heejin Kim. why is it your fault If you hadn’t let him in, he might have harmed you. lets think. Are you the one who caused this incident? Or is it him?”

To my question, Heejin answered in a confident voice.

“That, that person.”

“I know that! Even if you had stopped him, he would have terrorized us somehow. Because that’s what I came for. right or not?”

“Right, right.”

“Okay, then! Are you not at fault? So, don’t beat yourself up.”

“Yeah, but I’m sorry.”

Heejin, whose expression improved a little, smiled, saying that she would be more careful in the future.

At that moment, I don’t know why, but I remembered the last words I had with my father.

‘Seo Jun-ah, Min-yeong and you must live together.’

‘But father!’

‘do not worry. All will be well. If anything goes wrong, it’s not your fault. Gates is wrong! keep in mind Seo Joon-ah, Min Young-ah. Keep your self-blame short, but don’t forget it for the rest of your life. Can you promise me?’

Forgetting that, Minyoung and I blamed us for our parents’ deaths for a while.

I seemed to know what that meant now.

“Heejin.”

“yes.”

“Jeong, if you’re so sorry, remember these words.”

I remembered my father and said to Hee-jin the same words he told me back then.

“Keep your self-blame short, but don’t forget it for the rest of your life.”

Heejin nodded as she pondered over what I said.

“yes! Okay. I will never forget you!”

I sent Heejin back, smiling as if she had gotten better.

Heejin left and Lee Hwi-hyung looked at me with a surprised expression.

“Hey, can you say something like that?”

“That’s what my father said.”

“Oh, sorry. It must be sad for you.”

“are you okay. Now I have no regrets or self-blame. I’m just trying not to forget as I promised my father.”

It’s not a mistake and you don’t have to blame yourself, but what you don’t forget is to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Minyoung and I decided to understand that.

For 10 years, I tried to focus on closing the gate.

The result was a brutal betrayal.

On the other hand, I was blaming myself again after returning, but Heejin reminded me of these words again.

‘Father, I will not forget. never.’

Didn’t Gilliant say that too?

It’s not that I’m weak, it’s that the demons are strong.

that you can become stronger

And this time, as his characteristics changed, he found a way to become stronger.

“Hyung, how are you all?”

“The doctor said that everyone can be discharged after three days. you also.”

“Good for you.”

“What should I do with the guild building?”

“How much damage is it?”

“Fortunately, only the third floor, the top floor, was blown away.”

“Still, it will be worth the cost, right?”

“Don’t worry about that.”

Lee Hui-hyung said that and showed his thumb.

“why?”

“Why, the investor is in my house, so can we just leave it alone? Don’t worry, my second brother told me to rebuild it at Taeyang Construction.”

I almost screamed for a moment.

This is beyond investing.

Where was the investor that built the guild building?

“If it’s Taeyang Engineering & Construction, is Lee Jae-hak the president?”

“Yeah, my grandfather said he helped me first before he even said anything.”

I was confused for a moment whether I should be moved by this or feel burdened.

“Don’t be burdened. Because the only one who doesn’t like me right now is the older brother.”

“If you are the first older brother, isn’t Lee Hyeon-seok, president of Taeyang Electronics?”

“Yeah, do you know me well?”

“The Taeyang group should be so famous.”

I’ve seen it a lot in the news, and now my smart phone is solar electronics, so how can I not know?

Anyone in Korea would have known basic information about Taeyang Group.

It is not for nothing that they are one of the top 5 companies representing Korea.

“Well, we get into a lot of gossip and it’s pretty noisy, right?”

Lee Hwi-hyung is worse than the other brothers, but that doesn’t mean he won’t get into gossip.

Every movement of Taeyang Group people was of interest to the public.

“no way. Isn’t that what the VIP room is like?”

I asked just in case, and Lee Hwi-hyung shook his head.

“at all. This hospital has nothing to do with our group. Even the National University Hospital.”

smart.

“Patient Seojun Yoo, rounds.”

Just then, a doctor and two nurses came in.

“You are awake. I was going to come right away, but I was late because some patients were delayed.”

My first impression of the doctor was that he seemed open-minded and warm-hearted.

“Let’s see. How is your body? Can you move?”

“I can barely lift my arms. My legs can’t move very well yet.”

“Still, try to keep moving. It’s not a muscle tear, but you have to move a little to loosen the knot.”

“yes.”

After examining the chart and my body, the doctor gave the nurse some instructions, bowed to me, and left.

When the nurse replaced the IV, I asked a question because I thought it was going well.

“Well, what kind of person is the hospital director here?”

“Are you the director of our hospital?”

“Yes, may I know your name? No matter how much I think about it, I’m not going to come to the VIP ward, but I heard you ordered it.”

“Oh, ho-ho-ho.”

After hearing my words, the nurse covered her mouth and smiled.

“I didn’t hear it directly from the hospital director, but he said he owed it to the Elementalist.”

“To me?”

“From what the head nurse said, it seems to be related to the Elementalist’s father. I don’t know more details.”

“Then, by any chance, can I see the director of the hospital?”

I was so curious, so I asked with a feeling of grabbing at least a straw, and the nurse said.

“I said that the director of the hospital would stop by for a while. If you are resting, I will stop by.”

The hospital director is coming directly?

“Good. I can ask you then.”

Lee Hwi-hyung clapped his hands saying that it was good, but my curiosity grew even more.

Father, what the hell are you doing?

“This! Isn’t that Taric!”

Cass, who saw the corpse brought by middle-class demon Kelly, shouted that and grabbed Kelly by the collar.

“Where was this?”

“Gap, you suddenly appeared in the hallway!”

As the startled Kelly stuttered, Cass let go of his collar and looked at Brian.

“Brian, what do you think?”

Even in this situation, Brian had a smile on his face.

“I think… … .”

Brian, who was examining the corpse, nodded as if he realized something and continued.

“I think I got hit the moment I teleported.”

“Is that possible?”

Cass couldn’t understand Brian’s words.

Teleportation happens in an instant.

Is it fast enough to cut your throat in that instant?

Does that mean that there is a being that can do that?

“I am also curious. Who is that being?”

“Tarik’s mission was to bring Yu Seo-jun, so did he do this?”

Cass recalled the person his subordinates were reporting to, Yoo Seo-Jun.

Hearing this, Brian shook his head.

“Did I tell you? The Yoo Seo-jun I met didn’t have this level of skill. Since the dragon is not yet an adult, it must have been on an equal level with Taric, a mid-level demon.”

“Then who do you mean? how! I can’t even feel Chen’s presence! Are you saying that both the mid-level demons and the low-level demons were killed in the human world?! why?!”

Cass shouted, apparently angry at losing his men, as he instructed Kelly, who trembled beside her with red eyes.

“You go to the human world right now and find out what happened!”

“yes!”

After Kelly left with the demons, Cas was approached by Brian.

“Relieve your anger. Humans know that I am a foreign hunter, so I will find out what happened.”

“I ordered the things below, so it was done. Advanced demons don’t have to step out.”

“Still, it’s my job to keep an eye on Yoo Seo-jun, so I guess I’ll have to watch him from the sidelines for the time being.”

“Don’t even talk about what you were talking about earlier. Did Keruin-sama give you any other instructions?”

“If possible, he instructed us not to show ourselves to humans and focus on the perfection of the gate first.”

“You mean you keep an eye on humans instead?”

“Yes, three more advanced demons have joined under me. I will be in charge of the Republic of Korea, and the rest will travel around other countries to collect information.”

“It’s a lot of work.”

“This is for Belion and for the Demon World. It is natural.”

Cass instantly got goosebumps when he saw Brian smile his signature smile after he finished speaking.

‘Every time I look at it, I just can’t get used to it. How can you always smile without changing your expression?’

Cass said to Brian, thinking he was lucky that he was lower in rank than him.

“You must have worked hard to come a long way, but let’s take a break. It’s been a while since I came to the Demon Realm, so I can absorb the magic to my heart’s content.”

“thank you.”

*

The director of the hospital, who said he would come in person, came to see me the evening before discharge.

“Heh heh, you must be so busy. Forgive me for coming to you now, Seojun-kun.”

The head of the hospital, who had a virtuous impression, had a familiar face somewhere.

The hospital director called me friendly, as if he knew me well.

“The burden only grew because of the consideration I didn’t know where to put my body. I heard that you are close with my father.”

“Heh heh heh. If my goodwill has become a burden, I’m sorry. I guess you heard it. That’s right, you owe your father a great debt.”

“I couldn’t sleep because I was curious.”

“You must have slept well because of the medicine? Heh heh heh.”

Cancel the fact that it looks cheesy.

You’re going to take it so seriously

How the hell did you get along with your father?

My father was good at playing pranks and had the temperament of an insider.

So, you became a journalist as well.

I know that I met my mother, who majored in chemistry, while covering her mother’s research institute while working as a reporter in the science department.

At that time, Min-young’s father worked in the same media company’s medical department, so they became close, and naturally, I heard that Min-young, who was Min-young’s father’s lover at the time, became close with her mother.

“Speaking of which, it goes back more than 20 years.”

As I thought about my parents for a moment, the hospital director opened his mouth.

“At the time, Min-young’s mother was working at our hospital.”

I knew that Min-young’s mother was a doctor.

However, I didn’t know which hospital it was, but it was here.

“At that time, it must be when you have just entered elementary school. How proud you are of your children. By the way, I also met and talked with Miss Minyoung.”

The hospital director’s face seemed to be full of longing as he smiled and talked about the old days.

“To begin with, I was able to rise to the position of director of the hospital thanks to your father.”

“My father must have been a science reporter? How have you been helpful?”

“Well, that’s what human life is all about. I mean you don’t know A major operation was scheduled at the time, but it was a very dangerous operation. To be honest, I should have taken all the responsibility for a medical accident.”

While saying that, the hospital director raised his hand and was trembling.

“My hands still shake just thinking about that.”

At the same time, the director of the hospital brought up the story of Min-young’s father first.

“At that time, one of the reporters in charge of our hospital was Ms. Min-young’s father. The operation went well, but it was such a big operation and the media was talking about it in real time because it was a operation by a famous nobleman.”

Is a person that important enough to be a member of the National Assembly?

However, the hospital director did not elaborate on the patient’s story.

Probably for patient protection.

“At that time, Miss Minyoung’s father almost made a big mistake. I assumed that the operation would not go well and talked about it live.”

Did something like that happen?

I never thought about it because I saw him often while growing up.

To that extent, Min-young’s father was a demanding perfectionist who was thorough and looked after everything.

“By the way, it was your father who noticed the mistake and corrected it. I helped by the side so that I could circulate the contents of the article before things got bigger. He let me get an interview and became my running mate to find out how to deal with it.”

I see.

Then, did Minyoung’s father become such a perfectionist after that incident?

“Thanks to that, I didn’t get reprimanded unjustly, but went out and received compliments as I was. I still cannot forget what your father said then.”

“no way.”

There was one predictable word.

The words I said to Heejin, who was blaming herself not too long ago.

“hahahaha. Keep your self-blame short, but don’t forget it for the rest of your life. That’s what he said. I was moved by the friendship between the two, but at the time, it was also very touching to me. I was able to come this far without forgetting those words.”

There is a saying that one word pays off a thousand-nyang debt.

That one word of my father touched many people and came back to me again.

The same words may be interpreted differently depending on the circumstances of the listener.

After hearing that, Min-young’s father became a perfectionist to avoid making the same mistake.

The head of the hospital cared for those words and said that he had risen to the top by caring for the patients wholeheartedly and working hard.

With those words in mind, I fought hard to save someone without forgetting the sacrifices of my parents.

And it was a word of consolation to Heejin.

“So, I hope my favor is not a burden. If it were you, you could accept this treat. I know what your parents do. I think unfortunately.”

“no. How can such a small impression be received with such great grace? I should be more grateful to my parents.”

that was my sincerity.

“Hey, you would be proud. The old man took up a lot of time asking if he was talking about the old days. I will always support you.”

“thank you.”

I could feel my father’s hand in the hospital director’s hand patting my shoulder.

It was the warmth I felt after a long time.
