You Promised Me, Mr. Lee San-ha - Chapter 115



Only Noblemtl

Episode 115: The Customer is King, But Our Country is a Democracy (3)

I looked down at the two people sitting in front of me and touched the status window.

Lee Chang-ho: Apologize to the staff and Ahn Hee-yeon, pay, clean up, and go out to wait

Kim Young-nam: Apologize to the staff and Ahn Hee-yeon, pay, clean up, and go out to wait

I stepped back after checking that the sign next to the promise said “In Progress.”

It’s time to really watch the drunkards run wild.

The red hiking suit and blue hood jumped up from their seats.

Was it because I got up in a hurry while drunk?

Both of them fell backwards at the same time.

Crunch! Crunch!

A murmur can be heard among the onlookers.

“Oh my, oh my. Is your head broken?”

“What are these people up to now? Ugh, those drunkards… … .”

“Why did you suddenly fall? I guess what the doctor said was right… … It’s not contagious, is it?”

Two people stand up amidst the roaring crowd.

A red man and a blue man popping out of the ground.

The visual is reminiscent of Mintendo’s Super Marimo brothers.

The two people who barely managed to keep their balance and stood up suddenly turned their bodies and looked to the side.

This is the direction where the part-time workers are.

The two drunks, who had finished turning left and right respectively, quickly bent their waists as if they were about to headbang.

First, the red hiking suit shouted.

“I’m sorry! For ignoring you when you came in! For ignoring your seat and sitting down in the wide seat! For speaking informally to you out of the blue when we first met! For not ordering anything else on the menu and only ordering drinks! For asking you if something was funny when it wasn’t! For repeatedly saying, “What’s a latte?” For filling every last word with swear words like “F*ck” or “F*ck-it-pal”! For joking about you being a regular! For making sexually harassing remarks like “You probably don’t have hair on your head!” For criticizing you for working like this and getting paid for it. I’m so, so, so sorry!”

He began to apologize, denouncing all his sins as if he would not even support the blue hood.

“Jesong, I’m sorry! I’m sorry for being born! I’m sorry for being ugly! I’m sorry for breathing so preciously! Oxygen is precious, but I’m sorry for spreading the smell of alcohol every time I breathe! I’m sorry for being a drinking buddy with this arrogant, fucking son of a bitch! I should have stopped that arrogant, fucking son of a bitch, but I didn’t, I’m sorry!”

The two of them turned their bodies slightly to the left, shedding tears of repentance.

This time, it’s in the direction of Ahn Hee-yeon.

Likewise, the red mountaineering suit opened the saturation first.

“I’m sorry, Miss! I called you a brat the moment I saw you! I brought up your parents and started talking nonsense! I criticized you without any basis, saying you weren’t educated! I yelled at you and got angry when you lost your logic! And I made a scene with a pot in the end trying to shower you with soup. I’m really, really, really sorry!”

The blue hood roughly grabbed the red mountaineer by the collar and said.

“You fucking son of a bitch you son of a bitch you son of a bitch! You attempted to force a person to take a hot shower and you’re going to end it with an apology?! Your apology has no soul! You’re not swinging at all!”

Tears of repentance flow from the corners of the eyes of the red mountaineer.

After a while, he nodded repeatedly and moved to the side of the table.

Then he lay flat on the floor and bowed.

“Please forgive me, a lowly sinner! Aaaah! No, this is not enough! I must bow once more!”

At that moment, the blue hood kicked the table and jumped up.

Then he made an ‘L’ shape with his elbows and fell down onto the red hiking suit.

The foreign man who was watching shouted.

“Oh my god, oh my god! ELBOW DROP!”

bang!

Elbow drops neatly tucked into the spine of the red hiking suit.

The blue hooded man stood up and said.

“That’s right! You revealed your identity! Who would call you a son of a bitch, a son of a bitch, a son of a bitch, a son of a bitch… … What does it mean to bow twice?! Huh?! Aren’t you making fun of the staff and the young lady?! Answer me! Answer me, you son of a bitch!”

The red climbing suit answered with a sob.

“Ugh, that’s right. I’m such an ignorant punk that I only do stupid things! Ah! Then what should I do?! How can I convey my true feelings?”

The blue hood grabs the red hiking suit and lifts it up.

With a sad expression, he brushed the dust off his red hiking clothes.

“You can do it. If we are together.”

“Ahhh- ‘That’, huh? I almost forgot.”

“Come… … .”

The red hiking suit bends down in an ‘ㄱ’ shape.

A blue hood lifts his body upright, wedging the red mountaineering suit’s head between his legs.

The foreign man who had been watching shouted again.

“No way! No way! That’s ridiculous! Only professional wrestlers can use that! Ow! No way! Is that it? Am I going to have to see that?!”

The blue hood nodded once towards the foreign man and then jumped low.

The head of the red mountaineering suit is positioned vertically between the knees of the blue hood.

With the shouts of a foreign man.

“Tombstone-! File-! Driver-!”

bang!

A blue hood rises in the silence.

Where he had raised his body, a man was standing.

That too, backwards.

Once again, the foreign man’s shout was heard.

“This is impossible! My eyes are turning into delinquents at the unbelievable! Oh! Korea! Republic of Korea! You make me kneel!”

In the place where the foreign man’s faith was directed, there was a red hiking suit stuck upside down.

And that’s not all.

Two hands in red hiking clothes are held together politely, while the water is flowing.

The foreign man now knelt down and began making the sign of the cross.

“Gran-jeol… … . The Legend of the Land of Courtesy in the East… … . I will have no regrets even if I die now… … !”

He even casted the Granzel spell that I had only heard of through rumors.

At this point, I could forgive it, but that’s just my standard.

First, I had to ask if the two people I was apologizing to were satisfied.

“Should I tell you to stop now?”

The part-time worker and Ahn Hee-yeon nodded with dumbfounded expressions.

I said to the two drunks.

“That’s enough apologies. Should I keep my promise next time?”

Then the two drunks suddenly glared at each other.

Even the red hiking suit was looking upside down while maintaining its grandeur.

After a second or so of staring, the two of them bounced off the counter and flew towards it.

The red hiking suit shouted.

“I’ll pay first!”

But because their starting positions were different, the blue hooded one had no choice but to take the lead.

The blue hood shouted, leisurely spreading out the distance.

“Shut up! Where on earth do you learn to calculate when you can’t even do arithmetic because you dropped out of elementary school?! Go learn basic arithmetic again!”

The red hiking suit curls up and gets up quickly.

Then he leapt forward.

Tadah!

A blue hoodie standing in front of the counter, trying to take his wallet out of his back pocket.

A red comet flies towards his torso and hits him.

Bam!

The two people were entangled together, their bodies intertwined.

The red comet, barely able to raise its upper body, shouted.

“Let go, let go! You greedy old man! Didn’t I say I’d pay?!”

“Who calls you an inspiration when you can’t even set up a table properly?! I’ll do the math!”

Soon the two of them became entangled like snakes and shouted at the same time.

“Aga-ga-ga-ga-ga! Don’t break my arm!”

“Keeeeeek! Don’t bite my legs!”

The ugliest form of fighting that humans can do.

Finally, the blue hood rose.

The red hiking suit looks like it’s having trouble holding itself up due to the aftereffects of the Tombstone Pile Driver.

The blue hooded man smiles and takes out a card.

“Ugh, ugh ugh ugh, is this all you have? Do you dare stand in front of the cash register with this level of fighting power? Idiot. You piece of shit. Isn’t your father a jerk?”

The moment he felt his butt where his wallet was.

Knock, knock. Knock, knock.

He could see that his back pockets were empty.

The red hiking suit raises its body with a victorious smile.

“Are you looking for this?”

He was holding a wallet in his hand.

Sparks flew from the blue hooded eyes.

“They say a dog’s habits don’t change… … He’s a worthy filial son who’s taking over his father’s business… … .”

“Stop insulting our father in prison!”

The red hiking suit reached out.

The blue hooded man clenched his fists and guarded his face tightly.

However, the trajectory of the outstretched hand in the red mountaineering suit was aimed a little higher.

It looks like he’s throwing a jab.

Pot!

The red hiking suit returned with a blue hood tightly clutched in its hand.

The blue hood, which had lost its hood… …no longer had a blue head.

Just a flesh-colored head glowing.

“Eggmoneynot! Stripping off like this in a public place! You piece of trash! You’ve finally revealed your true colors!”

A flesh-colored head rushing to retrieve the hood.

The red climbing suit twists his body like a bullfighter, breaking his arms.

“Gyaaaah!”

“Be quiet! I’m not trying to eat you! Let’s do the math… let’s do the math!”

The counter staff shouted, unable to bear the drunken fighting between the two drunkards.

“Excuse me! Then I’ll just split the bill!”

* * *

In the end, the two drunks neatly settled their accounts.

‘The payment amount for all tables in the store.’

It seems that the words ‘Please pay here’, which were a condition of the agreement, were interpreted to mean the entire store.

Thanks to their golden bell, all the other guests who had suffered inconveniences also regained their colors.

Meanwhile, the foreign man sitting next to me couldn’t understand why he fainted.

As I left the store with Ahn Hee-yeon, I spoke to the two drunk customers.

“wait.”

A tone of voice similar to that of a puppy.

Red mountaineering suits and blue hoods saluted.

“I’ll wait as if there’s glue on the soles of your feet!”

“Hehehe, I can’t go!”

Since there was no subject in the word ‘wait’, they had to wait endlessly.

Hee-yeon Ahn and I walked towards the station.

An Hee-yeon looked back and asked.

“Honestly, are you a hypnotist?”

“Where is that? If there were, I would go to the rich people in the Middle East and say, ‘Please give me 1 trillion won.’”

“But, this doesn’t make any sense… … .”

This would be an incomprehensible incident to Ahn Hee-yeon, who values ​​rationality and logic more than anyone else.

It’s hard for me to believe that I’m using my abilities, so how would it look to other people?

But there is no way I can ever reveal this secret.

I tried to change the subject of conversation.

“Hee-yeon.”

It’s the first time I’ve called her in such a serious voice.

An Hee-yeon stops walking and looks up at me with surprised eyes.

I looked straight into those eyes.

“I respect your thoughts and justice. In a way, I respect you. Standing up to injustice is not something that just anyone can do.”

He continued speaking in a serious voice.

“But I think it could be a little dangerous. In a case like today, if those humans actually threw the pot… … .”

“Thank you for your concern. But… … you don’t have to worry too much.”

Knock, knock.

She began to unbutton her coat one by one.

Soon, inside the opened coat, a department store of weapons was spread out.

Tear spray, stun guns, alarms, etc… … .

These are things that are barely within the realm of legality.

An Hee-yeon blushed shyly.

“I’m small, so a lot of people make fun of me. I used to play sports when I was younger, but I had physical limitations, so I carried around a lot of stuff like that. In fact… … I even had a stun gun in my back pocket at the grocery store.”

“But, when the red man lifted the pot earlier… … .”

“I was holding tear spray in my hand. You probably couldn’t see it.”

I wonder if I worried for nothing.

Can a person be this well-prepared?

I had no choice but to acknowledge that she was moving towards a new paradigm of ubiquity.

Nodding my head as I entered the subway entrance.

Something I had forgotten flashed through my mind.

“ah!”

“That’s surprising. Why?”

“Since those guys paid the bill earlier, I won’t be able to buy you a drink this time either!?”

An Hee-yeon burst into laughter and grabbed my arm.

“What is that?”

She let out a laugh and met my eyes.

“Then I guess I’ll see you again soon?”

“Of course it should be like that.”

An Hee-yeon hesitated for a while as if trying to say something, then eventually let go of the arm she was holding.

Then he spoke in a barely audible voice.

“… … Don’t make me wait too long next time.”

I answered with a confident nod.

“of course.”

* * *

On the way home, I turned into the convenience store alley and passed the blinking streetlights.

In the meantime.

Tiring!

A text notification sounded on my phone.

‘Text at this hour?’

It’s a world where even advertising texts are banned after 6 o’clock.

Moreover, it feels even stranger because most people prefer to contact each other through KakaoTalk.

The moment I checked the contents of the text with a puzzled look, I couldn’t help but hold my breath.

[→There’s someone at my doorstep. For the second day.]

This is embarrassing content.

First, I calmed down and tried sending a reply.

[←Who are you?]

A reply arrived shortly thereafter.

[→It’s an egg.]

What is it? Is it like a quiz?

I don’t think Humpty Dumpty from Alice in Wonderland could send a text message.

Then suddenly, I remembered the girl who threw eggs at me.

[←Are you by any chance that True Beast sasaeng fan executive from before?]

[→Yes]

The feeling of satisfaction of having solved twenty questions in one go came to me for a moment, but then this question arose.

‘… … But how did he know there was someone in front of my house?’

It was a situation where ‘fear’ and ‘a little fear’ coexisted.
