Revenge

EP11

"Luckily, I don't have any problems other than a few stitches in my head, so I'll do it."

"Don't gamble for your mother's sake, asshole."

"And stop coming to Dahae."

"I'm sorry, brother."

"Brother? Sounds the same. You should be glad you met me."

"I'll get your mom a nurse while you're here, okay?"

"Use the hospital lake."

"Are you sure? I won't forget your kindness. Thank you very much."

"In exchange, you will work for me from now on."

"I won't forget you."

Sometimes, in order to wreak revenge, you need to gain minions.

People who will silently go along with your planned terror. A few hundred dollars won't change that.

And when I got into the bakery, I realized that I'd rather have his mother on my side, because she's the one who can turn me in or terrorize me again if things go wrong.

He's got great belligerence and a bad brain, so he'll do my bidding, and he'll be loyal to me for life as long as he has a caretaker.

What I had learned from Hwang Chul-woo was that a man's faith is worth more than most money.

My head throbbed.

What a backhanded slap in the face, asshole.

 "Murder Plans and Diary

This notepad is top-secret. Scribbled on my laptop at home.

I have a lot of people to get back at.

When I look back on my life as a child, I see a world of deep resentment and unreason.

I was a small orphan with an ugly face and a mass of trauma. Add to that my strabismus, and I was easy prey for humans.

"Predatory" was the word that described human society, the world.

Just turn on the news: a policeman rapes a middle school girl, a crazy teacher rapes a student.

A maniacal child intentionally murders his elderly parents to get their inheritance.

A man who pretends to be clean, but wants more pleasures than anyone else, a car that costs more than anyone else's, and wants to trample on the weak and show off his strength. Humans are inherently evil and wicked.

What is it about humans who don't do these things? They just don't have the power and ability to do so.

Most humans have power, and when they have power, they transform when there is chaos. I hate sexism.

If we are lazy and live in front of the TV and eat fast food, we will become evil.

We will always be evil if we lack the motivation to become better and better.

Evil is not learned, it is inherent. This is the nature of human beings that I have noticed so far.

I have never been challenged in public or anywhere else since I started exercising 10 hours a day.

I haven't been called names or poked fun at in public or anywhere else since I had strabismus surgery and shaved my head.

Did the humiliations I experienced disappear over the years as education improved and people became more civic-minded?

No. People have become kinder. I'm starting to realize that most of the problems in life are a lack of power.

Money and power. Someone's wife cheated on them, someone's bullied, someone's life is difficult because they're ignored because of their appearance.

When I was younger, I empathized with these heartbreaking stories and thought it was appropriate to change the system that was wrong.

Like when I was abandoned by my parents, those are heartbreaking things that you can't choose.

But now I think the opposite is true.

I realized that bullying, poverty, and evil are not problems that can be solved by changing social systems and attitudes.

That's for our noble politicians and revolutionaries to do, and money and power solve intuitive problems.

Your wife cheating on you doesn't matter as much if you have the money and power to divorce her and move on with a new woman.

If you're stressed about being bullied, or about your appearance, use the money to change schools, get plastic surgery, or work out for 12 hours a day to get stronger.

It's unlikely that the problem will repeat itself. It might be more helpful to do one push-up in between crying and sleeping.

Isn't that what psychiatry does, too? They ask if you're eating well, sleeping at night, and exercising regularly.

People who are really sick and need to be treated don't have words. It's obvious at a glance.

Other than that, weakness and lack of effort might be better words.

And I will end my life as a case of practicing them.

My life has not been perfect, but it will not be plastic. That is human nature and instinct.

'Evil'

"Hello?"

"Jung-min, where have you been? I haven't heard from you in a while."

"What will I do if you suddenly disappear like this?"
