Regression Life of a Retired S-Class Mercenary - Regression Life of a Retired S-Class Mercenary chapter 149

Episode 149. Scar

Producer Yoonho Choi’s ＜Away: A Quiet Barista＞ bought an abandoned house in a place called Bansan-ri, Dado-myeon, Naju-si, and renovated it into a cafe.

It was a hanok concept with a tiled roof of about 15 pyeong.

“Whoa—it’s all sorted out! Ah Jin-ah, did you wipe the table?”

“wait for a sec!”

Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin checked the ‘secluded cafe’ that was opened for the first time today and started cleaning and tidying up respectively.

However, Hong Ah-jin must have had a little mysophobia, and she kept rubbing the hard-to-remove marks on the table with a rag.

“What are you wiping like that?”

“I don’t know what mark it is. Is it Bond?”

Yoo So-hyun checked to the side.

A brown mark stood out on the table, as if it had risen slightly.

Tick— Tick—

“Isn’t this stuck inside?”

“is it? ah-! I care!”

Ah-jin Hong was a meticulous and meticulous girl hiding in her lively personality.

Seeing such an unexpected appearance, Yoo So-hyun smiled and stroked Hong Ah-jin’s head.

“Quickly prepare to open.”

“By the way, will guests come here?”

I saw a large window open to one side. Beyond that, I can see the road in front of the cafe and the surrounding houses… It was so quiet.

I couldn’t even hear the dog barking.

“Let’s just open it for now and bring coffee to the people who gave us sweet potatoes and rice cakes earlier.”

“okay!”

Hong A-jin answered, but her gaze went slightly to the marks on the table that she could not erase. I thought I’d find out how to get rid of it, so I’ll see you next time.

In the meantime, Yoo So-hyun started brewing coffee.

After receiving education and studying, I practiced several times. Even so, it was not easy, so I made a mistake every time I put in coffee beans or served a cup.

“Whew—”

woo woo woo woo-

With a sigh of relief, the sound of the coffee machine turning was heard.

“I’m done!”

“If I have some coffee, I’ll come out.”

Hong A-jin picked out pretty blue and pink mugs and put them on.

Yoo So-hyun poured hot water and coffee into the cup.

“done.”

“I even turned the sign on the door upside down.”

[Delivery is coming.]

[Please wait inside as it is cold.]

It was a sign written by Hong Ah-jin herself while preparing for the opening.

The two got dressed and went out. After walking along the road for a while, I turned into a narrow road, passed the town hall, and arrived at a house with a red roof.

Of course, the ＜Away＞ filming team was carefully following them around so as not to get caught on camera.

“Excuse me. Who isn’t there?”

Yoo So-hyun poked her head through the open front door and cautiously shouted.

Several pairs of shoes were visible in front of the veranda.

Then the door opened and Kim Jin-sook came out, wiping away tears.

“What’s going on… … .”

“I ate the sweet potatoes and rice cakes you gave me earlier. I brought a bowl and some coffee, but maybe… What happened?”

It was because he saw Kim Jin-sook’s eyes welling up.

Gong So-young, who was mixed with the filming team, was also worried and couldn’t take her eyes off her.

In response, Kong Hun-seok came out of the room and looked at the two and said.

“Oh, those are the ladies who run a cafe. Now my son is here… … .”

“Do you have a son besides writer Gong So-young?”

At that moment, Gong So-yeong, who was so surprised, almost ran out in front of them.

However, since we were filming, PD Choi Yoon-ho was able to quickly catch it and stop it.

“Chiyoung-ah, baby. These are the ladies who are said to be on TV, come out and say hello.”

At his call, two people came out beyond the threshold of a narrow window.

At the same time, Yoo So-hyun was also surprised.

“Sister Teresa? And that one… … .”

“Hi~ And I told you not to call me sister!”

Because it was a very familiar face.

Kong Hun-seok and Kim Jin-suk were also surprised.

It was because celebrity Yoo So-hyun knew his son’s girlfriend.

“Was Mr. Kangsu here too?”

The river that followed was also found.

In the meantime, only Hong Ah-jin didn’t know what was going on, so only her eyes were open.

“I heard that the manager here is friends with my son… It seems like I know my son’s girlfriend, and how did you do with my son’s girlfriend? … ?”

“yes? A girlfriend?”

I was even more surprised.

Then, while looking at Gong Chi-young’s face, Yoo So-hyun remembered something.

“ah! Frozen Sohyun, right?”

From earlier, Gong Chi-young turned away and couldn’t even make eye contact, as if he was embarrassed.

Still, Yoo So-hyun recognized Gong Chi-young. Of course, it was difficult to easily forget his bear-like size and timid personality.

He was so enthusiastic that Yoo So-hyun was also one of the fans he cherished.

“So what—? Why does that lady, Chi-young, call you that? Do you know that lady too?”

“Puhahahaha! kong! Were you active in the fan cafe under that name?”

Only Teresa laughed innocently at the situation.

Of course, Kangsu was a bit funny, but I started to organize it because I had to solve the situation first. I got away from the screen and walked towards PD Choi Yoon-ho.

“Because of what your son is doing, your face shouldn’t appear on the air.”

“Are you doing something bad?”

Since we decided to be friendly, PD Choi Yoon-ho asked comfortably.

“It’s a computer thing, but they say you have to be careful.”

“ah… The situation is kind of exquisite, but it’s good. It can be misunderstood by people who don’t know. I will edit this part well.”

“Thank you.”

I had to be careful about exposure because I had been caught in the hands of the Hong Kong Five Houses last time.

Fortunately, PD Choi Yoon-ho changed the direction without difficulty.

Then, the writers wrote a sketchbook about going back to the cafe and showed it to Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin.

“ah… We can’t leave the cafe for long, so we’ll go first. If you come later, please come with your son and his wife.”

“Thank you, ladies. I will drink this well.”

At Kim Jin-suk’s send-off, the two left the front door.

Then Ah-jin Hong carefully asked if she remembered Teresa.

“That foreign sister, Sohyun sister, was a bodyguard, right?”

“that’s right. I heard you had to quit because something important happened… Was it because of your boyfriend?”

“But what is a frozen Sohyun? Maybe a fan name?”

“That’s right. He’s the kind of person who always comes to every fan meeting.”

“The aunt and uncle over there are the parents of the author of ＜Away＞. So you’re dating the bodyguard unnie and the unnie’s fan, and the unnie’s fan is the author’s older brother? But are unnie’s fans friends with manager Han Kang-soo?”

It was a complicated relationship.

“I guess so.”

“Wow— how?”

“I’m curious too.”

Yoo So-hyun recalled Kang-soo, who had left the room and went to the director.

I looked back a bit, and Kang-su was mixed with the filming team.

Yoo So-hyun, who saw Kang-soo, put Hong Ah-jin on her shoulder.

“let’s hurry. You may have guests.”

“Eh— it seems like there won’t be any guests.”

The two of them walked to the cafe while bickering.

Gong So-young left the filming team and remained at home. His eyes were fixed on Gong Chi-young, who was standing on the veranda.

“Why are you here?”

“… … .”

“Why are you here!”

In that situation, Gong So-young’s mother, Kim Jin-sook, approached.

“Soyoung… We are fine.”

“It’s okay, what’s okay! Is it because I don’t know why I’m doing this? That person made dad and mom fools in high school and then left alone!”

“… … .”

Gong Chi-young didn’t say anything. Because he knew better than anyone what he had done wrong. That’s why I couldn’t return to my parents’ hometown for more than ten years.

“What do you do if you send me money every month? Did you want to be forgiven for that?”

“… Soyoung… … .”

From the side, Kim Jin-sook tried to stop her by calling Gong So-young’s name.

However, his anger with Gong So-young was not easily subdued.

“Did you think I would say that you’re good when you show up like this? say it. Am I, Mom, and Dad so funny! Were you bored because you were a genius and we were fools?”

Gong Chi-young was and still is a genius. However, there was no one around Gong Chi-young who understood him in the past. And since childhood, I have always been called a strange child.

Because of that, Gong Chi-yeong was always alone.

Then, in the first year of high school, with the help of my homeroom teacher, I was able to graduate early and receive a recommendation for admission at MIT.

“sorry… Soyoung… … .”

“Don’t call me by my name!”

“… … .”

“Mom and Dad were very sad when you left for America without a word! There were only so many days when I couldn’t get out of the phone in case you contacted me!”

Even the parents, Kim Jin-sook and Kong Hun-seok, did not understand their son Gong Chi-yeong.

I didn’t pay much attention to it because I thought it was just an unusual child. He did not know that Gong Chi-young was despised and bullied at school because of his uniqueness.

“Then what kind of face did you come to me! How can I find you!”

Gong So-young grabbed handfuls of dried radish on the tray that he had been trimming on the table and threw them at Gong Chi-young.

Pak- Pak-

Then, getting more angry, he picked up the basket from the tray.

“Soyoung! knife!”

In the basket was also the fruit knife used for trimming siraegi.

Kim Jin-sook urgently shouted, but the basket had already been thrown.

At that moment, Theresa’s hand slipped between the two and snatched something.

It was a knife with a bright red handle.

“Careful, careful! Lady, I understand your anger, but you have to be careful.”

Theresa held the handle of the knife while saying that.

Gong Chi-young, Gong So-yeong, and their parents couldn’t even properly see how they found and caught the fruit in the siraegi. At one point, it was only in her hand.

“Ah, a snake!”

It was under the veranda on the other side of the floor.

Teresa unconsciously threw the knife she was holding in her hand at the snake that had crawled out of it.

Shuaak! Pak-!

“… ah.”

The transition was driven precisely by the snake’s head, piercing through the earth frozen in the winter air.

At the same time, Theresa realized that she had made a mistake.

“ah… Because I’m afraid of snakes. I was so surprised that I threw it away. But why does this get stuck? Ho-ho-ho-!”

The bigger problem was that Gong So-young was standing on the side where the snake came out.

Of course, I couldn’t help but be surprised as the transition quickly passed by her.

gulp-

Meanwhile, Teresa approached the snake, pulled out the fruit, and tossed the snake aside.

“Ah— that’s disgusting.”

“… … .”

I felt that it was far too late to turn around.

Then, his father, Kong Hoon-seok, carefully spoke out.

“greatness… It’s cold, so let’s go in and talk.”

“Then, hurry up. Chi Young-ah, So Young-ah. And the lady goes in too.”

Kim Jin-sook pushed them on the back and sent them inside.

The silence continued for a long time even after entering the room. It was Gong So-yeong who broke the silence.

“Mom and Dad don’t know, but I have no intention of forgiving you.”

“… … .”

Kim Jin-sook tried to change the atmosphere at the sight of Gong Chi-young not answering.

“Would you like me to peel an apple? Soyoung liked apples.”

“mother! Over here—”

It was the knife that had been stuck in the snake’s head earlier. The blood, which had hardened in the cold air, had not been properly wiped off.

It was because Teresa was also a little nervous given the situation.

“ah… … .”

“I’ll clean it up and bring it back.”

“no. I’ll bring it. Here it is. Give the excess to me.”

“sorry… … .”

Thus, Teresa naturally turned the knife she was holding with her fingers and handed it to Kim Jin-sook toward the handle.

Gong So-young was speechless again at the motion of flowing water.
