Trash of the Count's Family

Tatatap!

They heard some quick footsteps.

Cale looked toward the watchtower entrance.

“Rok Soo.”

It was Lee Soo Hyuk.

“It looks like we’ll need to fight with the yellow head toni-”

His words that were coming out not too quickly yet not too slowly had stopped.

His urgent footsteps quickly stopped as well.

"Why are you stopping? Is something going on on the watchtower-”

Park Jin Tae shoved his head to Lee Soo Hyuk's side before flinching.

“…Hey, you……”

Park Jin Tae could see Kim Rok Soo, who had an extremely pale face and was shaking.

Choi Han, who was supporting Kim Rok Soo, had a terrible expression on his face as well.

But the way he was supporting Kim Rok Soo made it seem as if he had done it many times before.

‘I was wondering why they went back so quickly, was it because of this?!’

Kim Rok Soo had quickly returned to the watchtower even though they had set everything up to celebrate his birthday.

They thought he was just worried about the enemy that could come at any moment and had also quickly eaten before they were about to return to their posts.

But Park Jin Tae had come to the watchtower with Lee Soo Hyuk after hearing the alarm go off.

But what he saw was not the cold commander he had seen until now but a young kid who was suffering in pain with only Choi Han by his side.

‘What is going on? Why was he in so much pain?’

He had seen Kim Rok Soo being tired and bleeding during the battle at the original central shelter.

He had not been in this much pain then.

‘Why?’

Why was Kim Rok Soo looking like this right now?

The same question kept repeating itself in Park Jin Tae’s mind, but he could not open his mouth and say anything.

Tap. Tap.

Instead, his eyes focused on Lee Soo Hyuk’s back as Lee Soo Hyuk headed toward Kim Rok Soo.

“Rok Soo.”

Lee Soo Hyuk’s expression was calm as he quietly called out to Cale.

However, his eyes were focused on Cale, who was barely standing up with Choi Han supporting him while his hand was clutching his chest.

Lee Soo Hyuk’s footsteps quickened.

“Kim Rok Soo.”

Cale looked back at Lee Soo Hyuk who was now calling him by his full name.

Lee Soo Hyuk stood in front of Cale.

“Kim Rok Soo, I know that you are hiding something.”

Kim Rok Soo was calm.

It was actually Choi Han and Park Jin Tae who flinched after hearing Lee Soo Hyuk’s question.

“You are the same Kim Rok Soo I know from the past, but I know that something has changed.”

The corners of Lee Soo Hyuk's lips started to go up.

“But you should still tell me the things you should tell me, don't you think?”

Cale already knew that Lee Soo Hyuk was quite angry even though he was smiling.

“You should tell me if you're in pain, hmm? Rok Soo.”

Lee Soo Hyuk watched as the corner of Cale's lips slowly started to go up.

He could feel the amount of effort it took to smile through the pain.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing--- Beeeeeeeeep----

As they were surrounded by all sorts of alarms…

Cale smiled and slowly started to speak.

“It feels like someone is trying to pull my heart out.”

Choi Han’s fists clenched while Park Jin Tae subconsciously closed his eyes and turned away from Kim Rok Soo.

Another person came up to the watchtower at that moment.

“Commander-nim! They said they’re going to move the device to the castle wall and activate the defense!”

It was Choi Jung Soo.

He had come to the watchtower to deliver this message for the others who were busy getting ready as he was not going to participate in the battle like Kim Min Ah and Bae Puh Rum, and then he saw Cale.

He gasped while standing behind Park Jin Tae.

However, there was someone whose expression had not changed.

“And the method?”

Lee Soo Hyuk was still smiling as he asked.

Cale looked toward the large figure heading toward them from the distance in this night fog.

The yellow head was coming.

His life…

And the lives of everyone in the Seomyeon shelter…

The method to take care of everything.

‘The God of Death gave me a hint.’

< The people who tried to save you broke the law that said that you were supposed to die. >

Humans were able to break laws and fate.

That was how Lee Soo Hyuk and Choi Jung Soo had died to save him.

‘Nobody can die this time.’
