Trash of the Count's Family

Cale ended up closing his eyes again.

“Why are you closing your eyes again?”

‘Damn it! Son of a bitch!’

Cale raised his arm to cover his eyes. Team leader Lee Soo Hyuk started to chuckle at this clear indication that he didn’t want to open his eyes.

“I see that you still don't like to listen.”

“…What the?”

Cale mumbled as he opened his eyes.

“What kind of dream is this?”

Although it was in a dream, a too familiar sight was in front of Cale right now.

The office where Kim Rok Soo had worked. The space that he had worked in for 15 years had appeared, and Cale was sitting in Kim Rok Soo’s seat. He was sitting on an office chair that he had never used in Cale's world.

Kim Rok Soo’s seat wasn't team leader Kim Rok Soo’s seat either.

It was Kim Rok Soo’s seat from when he was a rookie, the seat closest to team leader Lee Soo Hyuk.

He was told that rookies had to be next to the team leader or a veteran team member because they never knew when a rookie would cause some trouble and put their lives in danger.

Cale looked toward the team leader’s seat. Lee Soo Hyuk was sitting there as if everything was normal. The person who had tapped Cale's cheeks to wake him up had returned to his seat.

“What is this?”

Lee Soo Hyuk who had a significantly feeble body for a swordsman looked younger than Cale’s final record. He looked similar to the Lee Soo Hyuk that Kim Rok Soo had met when he was a rookie.

“What could it be, you little punk.”

The team leader took a sip of the instant coffee in a paper cup before smiling as he looked at Cale.

The team leader had said that he used to only drink americanos but knew that he needed coffee even when the world flipped over and went to a mart to buy some instant coffee packets.

It had to do with something about not being able to forget the sweetness of the past or whatnot.

It was too similar. The Lee Soo Hyuk in front of Cale was not a scene in one of his records, but he was acting too similar to Lee Soo Hyuk.

‘Is this real?’

The moment he had that thought…

“Apparently, I died in your place?”

‘Damn it.’

Cale instantly started to frown. The person in front of him was indeed team leader Lee Soo Hyuk.

“Saying something like that without any emotion must mean that you really are the team leader.”

“You finally realized that?”

The team leader shook his head before looking up and down at Cale before commenting.

“But why do you look so terrible?”

“What’s wrong with how I look?”

Team leader Lee Soo Hyuk shook his head again in disbelief at Cale’s grumbling.

“You just walk around covered in blood. It also looks like you'll become a very famous hero?”

Cale was frowning so much that he could not frown any harder even if he tried.

How did the team leader know about what he was doing? Why was he appearing in such a form?

There was only one answer. There was only one existence who could do something like this. The same existence that kept throwing stuff in front of Cale and loitering around.

“That motherf*cking God of Death.”

Cale could hear the team leader’s voice as he brushed his face with both hands.

“You're right. He is quite the motherf*cker.”

“Ha!”

Cale let out a short laugh.

Screech.

The chair was pushed back and the team leader got up and headed toward the window. The curtains on the window were closed. Normally, he would see the destroyed and desolate remains of Seoul once those curtains opened.

Chhhhhhh.

However, the area outside the window was black.
