Chapter 51

Finding a Regular Patient

Decided to sleep one night at Yu Ji-han’s house.

“Going around the neighborhood once in passing to digest.”

“Yeah.”

I who set out alone headed behind the next house examining the surroundings.

The place where the cat Nabi’s grave is.

The flower whether blown by the wind was not visible, but the cross was as is.

The photo with the blurry form filmed Lee Seong-gyu asked to transmit so sent, and deleted from my phone.

Not afraid of things like ghosts and also like cats but···. Still a bit so having a spirit photo.

But the spirit photo being filmed, no way related to the system?

Coincidence right?

“······.”

Click.

Unable to overcome curiosity, filmed Nabi’s grave.

No particularly strange form was filmed.

Phew.

Let out a sigh of relief inwardly and deleted the photo.

After treating the two [Contagious Disease Patient] cats inside the house, leisurely strolled the neighborhood.

A countryside neighborhood where rice paddies and fields, even orchards far away are visible. Only the sound of farm machinery or dogs barking, bird sounds were heard quietly.

The atmosphere similar to the neighborhood where Grandfather’s house is, the heart strangely became comfortable.

“Meow, meow, meow.”

In the middle also lured [Contagious Disease Patient] stray cats with snacks and treated.

Click.

Also filmed a green wave rice paddy photo, and uploaded to SNS.

[This is healing]

Immediately Park Jae-yoon posted a comment.

-I would also go if no appointment

-Where is it??

Replied to the following Jang Hye-rim’s comment, and returned to Yu Ji-han’s house again.

“Came. Kang Bong-sik, this hyung is the next house person.”

On the yard wooden platform Yu Ji-han was sitting with an unfamiliar man.

He stood up and greeted me.

“Hello.”

“Yes, hello.”

A person who looked decent more than thought.

“Sent full of cat photos to Ji-han. Please a lot of interest and promotion.”

“Yes···.”

“Then I’ll be going.”

“Yes, hyung. Please enter.”

The next house person went out the gate with faltering steps.

“Looks a bit sick?”

“The cats when it becomes night run around like possessed by evil spirits, so can’t sleep properly. So said keeps blackout curtains on the windows throughout to sleep when can. Except when ventilating.”

So even in the middle of the night not a single light came out.

“Cats would like basking in the sun though. But why did you come?”

“Trying to greet you directly. Thought that way can send even one more for adoption faster.”

“Ah. ···But last time.”

I tilted my head.

“The truck teacher, didn’t say seems like a guy whose mind is a bit strange so cut off attention?”

“I also heard that sound and Seong-gyu’s talk and looked with a bit of colored glasses.”

Yu Ji-han shrugged his shoulders.

“Just seems like a misunderstanding due to lifestyle and generation difference?”

“Still be careful. Don’t believe too much either. Scary world.”

“Understood, man.”

Buzz, buzz.

“······?”

‘Bloodletting’ skill regular idol.

A frail idol who often goes around wearing [Contagious Disease Patient].

A call came from Jin Se-hyeok.

“Yes, what’s the occasion?”

Jin Se-hyeok let out a laugh.

-[Saw your SNS earlier. Near the place I’m filming?]

This idol has a lot of popularity but seems like has nothing to do considerably.

Why peeping an ordinary person’s SNS?

“By any chance, did you get indigestion again?”

-[Seems like it will become so. If time do you want to come here? There’s also something I want to seek advice from you.]

“What?”

-[I’m filming a drama now, appearing as a discharged returning student. But should have experienced the military and university. Embarrassed to ask around. Or shall I come in the evening? The schedule ends then.]

“I’m at a friend’s house here.”

“Who?”

Yu Ji-han asked with a puzzled face.

“An acquaintance.”

-[If there’s something you want to eat I’ll buy. No, shall I buy and go? How about hanwoo?]

Hanwoo.

That’s something I can buy and eat as much as wanted with my money.

“Hmm···.”

But food bought by others is delicious.

Also couldn’t properly eat jokbal earlier because of Yu Ji-han.

“Wait a moment. ···Hey. An acquaintance hyung says he’ll buy hanwoo. Is it okay to call?”

Yu Ji-han opened both eyes wide and shouted.

“Of course!”

***

Jin Se-hyeok hung up the phone with an excited face.

Soon Kang Bong-sik sent the address by message.

‘Luck is really good. How is Bong-sik near here.’

The reason Jin Se-hyeok followed Kang Bong-sik’s SNS was simple.

Whether coincidence or mood don’t know, but somehow when meeting Kang Bong-sik the feeling the condition gets better.

Also if he pricks the hand the indigestion goes down coolly.

Also received similarly from Mother or the manager, but no one lowered the indigestion as coolly as Kang Bong-sik.

‘And occasionally···.’

Jin Se-hyeok turned his head.

Outside the heavily tinted car window. Drama staff and actors moving busily were visible.

‘Not a person of this floor, want to play comfortably with my peers.’

Otherwise the vision and thinking seemed to gradually narrow.

Of course not that there are no other non-celebrities around. Also common for surrounding people to try to introduce saying ‘Won’t you meet once? Really a fine person’.

But most of those had something separately desired.

Whether money or ulterior motives.

Friends also···.

Whether because passed from middle school with the qualification exam, not even one.

‘Anyway to Bong-sik rather I’m in the position of only requesting.’

Idol group Hertz’s Burns had said this kind of words.

「When meeting Bong-sik, the feeling the breath of another side opens.」

Said comfortable because treated ordinarily without prejudice as a celebrity, as an idol.

Personality also good.

Jin Se-hyeok called the manager outside.

Around the time the sunset set.

Jin Se-hyeok bought full of hanwoo and soju, beer, and arrived in front of the address Kang Bong-sik informed.

“Wow···.”

As soon as getting off the car admiration naturally came out.

Above the roof, on the wall, behind the wall corner.

All over a cat world.

‘Why are there so many cats here?’

Jin Se-hyeok briefly put down the luggage and took out the phone.

“Woojju jju. Meows, look here.”

Click, click.

Rattle.

Kang Bong-sik who saw his appearance beyond the wall came out.

“What are you doing?”

“Wow, there are cats in the yard too? Are they all your friend’s?”

“···No, neighborhood cats. Please enter.”

Briefly Kang Bong-sik’s gaze seemed to head above his head, but Jin Se-hyeok entered smiling brightly.

“Hello, I’m a hyung Bong-sik knows.”

“Yes, hello. I’m Yu Ji-han Bong-sik’s friend. Oh, said a celebrity really handsome. Please put the words comfortably, hyung-nim.”

“Yeah.”

“Hiiik, this isn’t expensive?”

Jin Se-hyeok’s heart became complicated at Yu Ji-han’s reaction more focused on the hanwoo than himself.

Fans who always didn’t know what to do because liked and staff and related people who only praise good, handsome.

Surrounded only by such people, seeing the dry reaction of an actual same age same gender felt how much accustomed to the former.

‘And this, evidence that I’m not properly imprinted on the public yet.’

At that time Kang Bong-sik said.

“Yu Ji-han less than 2 weeks since discharged, so won’t know hyung well. Also doesn’t watch ads well, would have only seen ones with female celebrities appearing.”

“Ah.”

They put a portable burner on the wooden platform and grilled and ate meat. The table was full of all kinds of fresh vegetables and side dishes Yu Ji-han obtained from neighbors.

“Keu, this is it. The romance of countryside life! Grilling and eating meat on the yard wooden platform! Please receive one glass, hyung-nim.”

“Yeah, Ji-han younger brother.”

“Hyung can drink alcohol?”

“Lightly is fine. Actually until coming here the head was a bit painful, but because the air is good and the scenery is good? Now became fine. Anyway tomorrow the schedule is from the afternoon.”

“But Se-hyeok hyung-nim where are you filming? Haven’t heard the talk that filming a drama near here?”

“Me? ○○-eup.”

Yu Ji-han stopped trying to put a wrap the size of a child’s fist in his mouth.

“There, isn’t it an hour distance by car?”

“What, it wasn’t near.”

“Aey, an hour distance is near.”

“Hyung-nim, if saying like that Japan is also near. Close places only take an hour by plane.”

“Jeju Island too.”

“Haha.”

Jin Se-hyeok mainly asked the two people about military life.

The role taken in the drama is a discharged returning student, so hoped the tone and gestures when reciting experience story lines from the military days come out naturally.

“Going directly would be faster and more certain.”

“Haha. My job, while going to the military and coming the body price and popularity drop sharply. A bit scary to go now. Have to earn more tightly and go.”

“Honest so good, hyung-nim. One more glass?”

“Hey, don’t recommend too much. This hyung is frail so will be sickly tomorrow.”

“Bong-sik. What kind of image am I to you on earth.”

Kang Bong-sik looked at Jin Se-hyeok. And the answer doing smiling.

“Patient?”

“Hey, patient···.”

Moment heated Jin Se-hyeok tried to refute, then recalled the appearances shown in front of Kang Bong-sik until now and closed his mouth.

“······.”

The next day morning.

‘Ah···. Did I overdrink too much yesterday···.’

Jin Se-hyeok held his head and raised his body messily.

The memory of the previous night came to mind.

Kang Bong-sik and Yu Ji-han told various stories experienced in the military. Starting from mistakes committed when a recruit to funny things, scary things etc.

Gradually getting drunk the topic changed to other miscellaneous, and Yu Ji-han played music.

「Se-hyeok hyung-nim, if an idol do you know the dance of this song too?」

「Of course! Also filmed a challenge video?」

「What me and Kang Bong-sik danced at the math trip talent show. Hey, after a long time?」

「Forgot all. Was it like this?」

「Like this, like this.」

「Not dancing like that.」

Played excitedly until past midnight, then caught by the manager who came to pick up and returned to the hotel.

Extremely fun, but the hangover was painful.

Also stuffy inside.

Jin Se-hyeok lightly washed, and asked the manager and headed to Yu Ji-han’s house again.

The gate was open so just entered.

“Bong-sik, receive the patient.”

Kang Bong-sik who was sitting on the wooden platform with a magpie nest hair brushing his teeth burst into laughter. Several cats were also sitting at his feet or on the wooden platform.

“Indigestion again?”

A short while later.

Burp.

Jin Se-hyeok who burped coolly tilted his head.

Kang Bong-sik pricking his hand was the third time.

‘But today somehow the feeling should say cool? Should say the feeling something refreshed···. Don’t know well.’

“···Why, hyung? What··· strange?”

Kang Bong-sik who briefly lowered his gaze to the empty air and lower right carefully asked.

Jin Se-hyeok smiled and shook his head.

“No. Because received after a long time? Seems like went down extremely coolly. Thank you.”

“Not at all.”

“Se-hyeok, have to depart gradually so not late for preparation time.”

The manager called Jin Se-hyeok.

“Yes! Then I’ll contact again later. Also convey greetings to Ji-han instead.”

“Yes. When going please close the gate a bit.”

“Yeah.”

Jin Se-hyeok came out of that place with lightened steps.

Squeak, click.

The gate closed.

***

“······.”

I tightly closed my mouth and focused beyond the wall.

When Jin Se-hyeok got in the car, his appearance was no longer visible.

But.

The small mark that floated above his head, disappeared only after the car went far.

“What on earth is that···.”

A little earlier the moment pricking Jin Se-hyeok’s hand.

A small mark as if drawing a crow’s side profile arose above Jin Se-hyeok’s head.

A new achievement also appeared.

Two.

[Achieved achievement ‘Why do you keep getting sick’!]

[Achieved achievement ‘We only draw really bad ones’!]

[System]

-Treated the same patient 7 times.

-Achieved achievement ‘Why do you keep getting sick’.

-Achievement ‘Why do you keep getting sick’ achievement effect: Regular patient finding function added

-Performed ‘Bloodletting’ 3 times targeting the same patient.

-Achieved achievement ‘We only draw really bad ones’.

-Achievement ‘We only draw really bad ones’ achievement effect: MP increases by 10

[MP 200/200]

System log window upper right.

A crow icon the same as the mark that arose on Jin Se-hyeok appeared.

I looked around.

Yu Ji-han went out to the truck elder’s field so none.

“R, regular patient finding?”

······.

“Execute regular patient finding.”

A translucent map appeared in front of the eyes and the small crow icon, that is Jin Se-hyeok’s movement was visible in real time.

[System]

-‘Regular patient (1)’ left the detection distance.

When leaving about 500 meters, the map and ‘regular patient finding’ crow icon disappeared together.

Amazing.

More than the ‘regular patient finding’ function, the fact that the system is regarding the ‘Bloodletting’ skill as a treatment act.

Even holding a knife or axe it appeared can use ‘Bloodletting’ skill, this fierce guy.
