Lee Junseo (Son) – Commotion Always Comes Suddenly

* Lee Junseo (Son) – Commotion Always Comes Suddenly (4)

Apart from the anger, maybe it was the stress, but after a light nap, I quickly got up and wandered around outside from dawn. I told Mun-yeong about what happened yesterday before going to bed, so it seems like it spread to other people, and my phone has been ringing since last night. Thanks to that, I went beyond the bald-headed guys and even talked to the village people who manage the goods, acting like an elder, which is so not me, and even checked the management details. They, on their end, were fawning and rejoicing at me, whom they don’t even know, so I didn’t feel guilty, but ordering people around was a really weird feeling.

I was outside the convenience store until dawn, and then Mun-yeong and his subordinates gathered when morning broke. Inside the coffee shop where we first met last time. Just like last time, it was as if they had chartered the whole place, and no one else was there, and the baldy was doing the shop owner cosplay again, as if he liked what happened last time. Plus, I got my clothes taken off again, and I was put in the black suit over the red wine shirt I wore back then, and it became natural for me to be in this group.

The baldy’s grinning face is unpleasant.

Don’t tell me, you’re happy that I’m here doing this?

Ugh.

“It’s the first time Doryeon-nim has taken the initiative to sort things out. I thought it would happen naturally after some more time, but I’m surprised it’s happening sooner than I thought.”

“Who wants to do this? I haven’t even finished understanding coming down from the village and that weird place, and this is already happening. Besides, I heard there’s someone who looks exactly like me. If this were a movie, that one line would wrap up this story.”

“I wondered what kind of shit they were doing under the surface, turning their backs on Doryeon-nim, but it turns out there was another bloodline, so they prioritized that side.”

“Life is so spectacular. Baldy, didn’t you know? You were close with my old man, right?”

“Hyeong-nim only told me about Doryeon-nim. That must be a bastard child that even the deceased Hyeong-nim didn’t know about. He was screwing around so much, it wouldn’t be strange if there was a woman he didn’t even realize he had something with.”

The baldy laughs hahaha, and I slam my head on the table. Knowing how I feel, the baldy’s subordinates chuckle and spout nonsense, saying, 「How nice that you have a family」. My family is enough with the Ha sisters, and now that twins whose identities I don’t even know are appearing, I’m not happy at all.

“This makes the story simple. Just like we were Doryeon-nim’s sponsors, the family members who didn’t come to the last meeting were that side’s sponsors. I was wondering if they were plotting something bad to gain power within the village, but this is unexpected.”

“The village people must be happy, huh? They thought our bloodline only had me left, but now there’s a spare? So, from now on, can I hand over the village chief position to my soon-to-be-met younger brother or older brother and disappear?”

“No, that’s a bit…”

“Why?”

“If that side strongly inherited Hyeong-nim’s blood and has a shitty personality, you’ll end up being dragged back again. The influential figures in the village learned the importance of personality from the last incident, so they’ll probably stick with Doryeon-nim’s side even if the legitimacy is on that side.”

“You’re saying scary things. What good is it to have two crazy bastards like that? I’m sure that side is thinking the same thing as me, right?”

“Doryeon-nim, who we think is relatively stable, still curses at our guys and gets annoyed, so how can you say that? Don’t you remember breaking a bottle over my head at our first meeting? If your personality was any worse, we really wouldn’t have been able to handle you.”

He’s the one who acted like he deserved to be hit, what a load of crap.

“Don’t do that, there’s no need to pinpoint the personality of someone you haven’t even met yet. Let’s think positively.”

“That’s true. Doryeon-nim also seemed a bit temperamental at first, but at the root, you were just a loser.”

“That’s harsh?”

“Isn’t that the reality?”

Since it wasn’t wrong, I couldn’t deny it and sat down, crossing my legs. From the start, I didn’t intend to fight. In the first place, all we know right now is that that side has the same face as me. If that’s the case, I even made the assumption that maybe some bad person had plastic surgery to look like me and was doing bad things in the village. That crazy place is worth that much, and it’s full of people who look like they’re on TV, so it wouldn’t be strange if a suspicious power struggle was happening.

While the baldy and his subordinates were throwing out those kind of movie-like predictions and waiting, Mun-yeong, who was standing at the entrance, raised his chin and reacted. As if the person they were waiting for had arrived, he slowly opened the door and greeted the people waiting outside. The first ones to enter were men wearing navy suits with floral patterns, the opposite of Bokryong’s subordinates.

“Mun-sang-ah, I brought the kids you talked about. Are these them?”

The man at the front of those gangsters pushed the women he was protecting forward.

“Sorry for making you work from the morning.”

“We fucked up the job, so what. Is that Doryeon-nim over there?”

“Yeah, say hello. It’s the first time you’re meeting, right?”

“Of course!”

She seemed like a strong-willed person. Her hair was also a bubbly, bomb-like shape. I didn’t really have anything to say, so I just sat there blankly, but she was fearless towards me.

“Doryeon-nim! We messed up the job this time! I heard this bitch wandered around as she pleased and caused trouble! If you turn a blind eye this time, we’ll make sure this doesn’t happen again next time, so please forgive us!”

“I’m not angry, so please go back to what you were doing.”

“Thank you!”

I answered right away without even realizing it. Maybe it was because she used the same tone as me that I felt a sense of familiarity, and she quickly smiled and left. I thought they would at least say hello, but they immediately apologized, so why is this world so scary? Besides, they didn’t even reveal their names and just left the women there alone and quickly left.

“Who are they?”

“They’re business partners. They’re not a big organization like us, but I’m personally close to them, so I entrusted them with this job. They’re probably scared inside, so they didn’t reveal their names, so please be understanding.”

“I’m the one who’s scared.”

“It’s natural since you didn’t know what kind of people each other were. More than that, let’s do what we need to do. Right now, it’s more important to hear the story from these bitches.”

He says he’ll tell me about his acquaintances later and focuses his gaze on one place. There are the women who were left alone. Heo Choyeon, Yu Narin, Han-a, Lee Serim, and a few others who were close to Yu Narin. Their faces are all pale blue, and they’re not saying anything, standing still in a row. It’s obvious that they’ve been practicing standing in a row from the start.

“Heo Choyeon, come forward.”

“Yes!”

In response to the baldy’s words, the idiot in the same outfit as yesterday puffed out her chest. She used to have a cocky and rough tone as her character, but like the text message from yesterday, she seems like a completely different person now.

“I heard the story from Doryeon-nim. Is it all true?”

“We also have evidence.”

“Why didn’t you tell us?”

“I thought it was more certain to tell Doryeon-nim.”

“You don’t trust us?”

“There was someone who looked exactly like Doryeon-nim. I don’t know who’s being deceived by whom, so I don’t regret my decision.”

Maybe it’s because the baldy didn’t press her, but even though her tone was polite, she finished her words firmly. The baldy and his subordinates included various meanings in their glares, but no violence occurred, and she was pulled back.

“Yu Narin.”

“Ye, y-yes!”

“I have a lot to say about you. You know that, right?”

“Hic…”

As the person involved in this incident, her face is not only pale blue, but she looks like she’s about to cry any minute now. If Han-a wasn’t holding her, she looks like she would slam her forehead on the floor and apologize right away.

“We can do it the way we always do, but since Doryeon-nim is here, we’re giving you a chance for now.”

“Yes…”

“The bitches around you should also testify together. If there’s anything strange about what this bitch says, say it right away. I trust you know what will happen if you spout nonsense later, saying this was strange.”

“””……………”””

Amidst the grim atmosphere, the women’s gazes gather on me. I feel like there will be problems if I say even one word here, so I don’t bother opening my mouth. The details of the credit card that Yu Narin used are already spread out on the table in front of me, so if I compare them, I’ll quickly be able to tell what’s real and what’s fake.

“Before they start questioning you in earnest, let me ask you just one thing.”

“Yes! A-ask me anything!”

Her expression is subdued, unlike yesterday. She’s trembling, as if she didn’t know it would turn out like this in just one day, but I don’t give her any consideration.

“By any chance, really by any chance, is there anything that could happen with that guy that would involve bloodshed with me? I’d like you to tell me just that. I’m also curious if he’s from our family bloodline. If there’s even a slight chance of bloodshed, I want to prepare in advance.”

“He is from the bloodline… Regarding the fight… Regarding that matter… I don’t think that will happen…”

“Why?”

“He was younger than he looked. He was excited about going to meet you when the time came. So, I didn’t tell anyone else and thought I’d surprise Doryeon-nim… Th-that’s because everyone here knows that Doryeon-nim doesn’t have any other blood relatives… I thought you’d be happy…”

The way she’s talking, it seems like she was so excited yesterday not just because of the alcohol.

“Who told you to make excuses? Just answer what you’re asked.”

“I’m sorry!”

“No, it’s okay. I’ve become curious and want to hear more details.”

“Doryeon-nim.”

“I’ll just ask this, so you guys do the rest.”

Wouldn’t it be best if we don’t fight?

Besides, he’s young.

With the feeling that the stomach acid that had risen to the back of my throat was subsiding, Yu Narin’s excuses began.
