Episode 116

Antisocial personality disorder, which accounts for approximately 2.5% of cases worldwide.

There, Woojin, who belongs to the high brain group of about 1%, accepted emotions differently from others.

He has a high level of intelligence and reasoning ability that is incomparable to that of criminals, and can ‘perceive’, ‘identify’, and ‘understand’ other people’s emotions.

Not only was he intelligent, but his memory was also good.

I remember the hearty laughter of the black sack that smelled delicious and ruffled his little hair.

I remember the soft hands that stroked my back and the sweet lullaby.

I can’t forget the sweetness of the candy that my three-year-old sister, who was constantly chattering next to me, used to crack open with her tiny hands.

Understand the love they gave you.

Even if you can’t empathize, you can perceive it sensually.

It was a tickling sensation, like a drizzle.

But at the same time, Woojin also knew that this thin, light rain would not last forever.

However, that time came much sooner than Woojin expected.

―Last night, a horrific body believed to be that of an 8-year-old boy was found near Janggo Port in Dangjin, South Chungcheong Province.

―In addition to the direct cause of death, a corpse of this shape is believed to show signs of continuous abuse… … .

―The police are performing an autopsy on the body of Lee Jung-ho, who was found hanging in the house, and are currently searching for the whereabouts of Lee’s mother, Jeong Su-gyeong, who is missing… … .

―The police announced that they have determined that the biological mother, Jeong Su-gyeong, is involved in this death and will focus their investigation on finding her whereabouts… … .

―During the process of investigating people around Jeong Su-gyeong, the police found testimony that she had been obsessed with heretical beliefs such as being a shaman or a pseudo-religion.

The world was a much more irrational and illogical place than Woojin had thought.

‘Woojin, by any chance… … has your mother ever been abusive to you? Has she ever not given you food or anything?’

‘My father usually favors my older sister too much… … .’

‘It may be hard, but remember well. Your parents must have loved your older sister and you very much.’

‘In a slightly different way than most people.’

‘Woojin, do you want to say something?’

Woojin’s father was said to be a mentally ill man who continuously abused his daughter and then committed suicide.

The mother is said to be a crazy heretic who was obsessed with heresy, killed her own daughter, and then went into hiding.

His sister, who used to chattering like a sparrow, was a sacrifice to her devilish parents.

Countless questions were directed at young Woojin, but he did not answer any of their questions.

This is because their words were interpreted in a completely different way from what Woojin had previously recognized, identified, and understood.

―According to the opinion of the psychiatrist who evaluated Lee Woo-jin’s psychological state, the child developed an acquired antisocial personality disorder as a result of the aftereffects of continuous abuse… … .

The world interpreted Woojin’s world as they liked.

The drizzle stopped falling.

severe weather.

Very bad and inclement weather, accompanied by strong winds, storms, typhoons, etc.

It was a word that referred to Lee Woo-jin’s life.

Woojin, who realized that he had superior physical abilities and a superior brain than ordinary people, began to investigate the reason why the drizzle had stopped.

It wasn’t some kind of feeling of revenge against family members whose faces I couldn’t even remember.

It was simply a journey to find one’s ‘origin’.

Woojin, who had a brain that was incomparable to that of the criminal, was able to find out where the ‘sky’ that was pouring down rain and wind was faster than expected.

‘Tongcheon Bridge.’

Their true identity was a criminal organization disguised as a new cult that was expanding its influence worldwide, and a corporate terrorist organization that instigated wars in many countries around the world and profited from them.

The sky was literally too huge for the young Woojin to fight against.

To face such a sky, Woojin had to redesign his life from scratch.

He is 10 years old.

Adoption to America was just the beginning.

To Woojin, the world was nothing more than a chessboard, and the battlefield, where efficiency, rationality, orders, and systems worked, was the most suitable stage for Woojin to grow stronger and survive.

In the midst of bad weather with bullets and shells flying, Woojin investigated everything related to the ‘sky’ and developed the strength to fight against it.

‘Lee Su-yeon, shall I look for you?’

For the old man and Seohee, the disappearance of Lee Suyeon was nothing more than a pawn that was coincidentally placed in the series of events.

After completing all preparations, Woojin traveled around the world to understand their power, investigated them, and implanted them into his head and heart.

It was also a preparation to put bullets into their heads and hearts.

It all started in Korea.

Woojin, who has been destroying the branches of the guys who were secretly hiding all over the country one by one, discovers the existence of an ‘island’ that is clearly related to Sooyeon’s disappearance and the tragic accident his family suffered.

The uninhabited island, which did not exist on any official map, was equipped with armed facilities comparable to a military base, so Woojin decided to infiltrate the enemy’s heart from the ‘sky’.

That’s the moment when you jump over the sky above the dark clouds and land safely on the island.

“Huh? Aren’t you Woojin?”

“… … .”

“Sir, don’t you remember? Why, when you were young, the general who lived next door to you was your uncle!”

“… … .”

“Hey, when did that little rat grow so big? When you lost your mom, your uncle helped you find her and bought you some tteokbokki. Haha, that poor little thing didn’t even touch the tteokbokki. I can’t even imagine how heartbreaking that must have been.”

“… … .”

“How on earth could someone who hasn’t even fully grown up yet be able to resist such a delicious thing right in front of them? Even thinking about it now, it’s really strange… .”

It was then that Woojin Lee, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.

“Because I knew.”

“……huh?”

“I knew you were involved in their suicides, disappearances, and deaths.”

Woojin, who has a brain that is more extraordinary than others, remembers it clearly.

The face of General Choi, who was greedily eating the tteokbokki with the red, thick broth dripping down it with an unpleasant smile in front of him.

Able to perceive, identify and understand.

He was the culprit who changed the drizzle that had been falling into a bad weather.

“… … He was a bit of a troublemaker when he was young, but he turned into something quite complicated as he grew up?”

Soon, the Tongcheon religious leaders with a fierce demeanor will advance in front of General Choi.

“Well, I guess that’s why he was able to come all the way here, since he’s such a complicated guy. Well, I started feeling strangely sick from the moment I started.”

Lee Woo-jin and General Choi.

It was the first meeting between the main character, Kim Hyun-soo, and the main villain, Kim Hee-woon.

* * *

By mid-May, when we are approaching the threshold of summer and the sunlight is starting to grow stronger, most of the filming for the latter half of the play was completed.

Hyun-soo greeted actor Kim Hee-woon, whom he met on set for the first time three months after filming began.

“Thank you for your hard work, senior!”

In response to Hyunsoo’s greeting, Heeun nodded with an innocent smile that was completely different from General Choi’s.

“Yes, you’ve had a hard time too, junior.”

Although the two actors met for the first time three months into filming, they didn’t feel awkward with each other.

This is because the two people, who had already become accustomed to their respective roles, had firmly imprinted each other’s existence in their heads and hearts.

“Just as I’ve heard, your acting is amazing, junior.”

“……yes?”

“So, even though we haven’t met in person, you’ve all seen me act like Hyunsoo, right?”

Hyunsoo nodded to Kim Heewoon’s words.

Even in the movie, it is set that General Choi, who was on the ‘island’, has been watching Woojin’s activities up until now.

So, Kim Hee-woon has been monitoring the scenes filmed by Woo-jin and the Sangnamja action team.

‘It’s already been three months since we started full-scale filming.’

After about three months, even the most experienced actors will experience some change in their acting as the story progresses.

However, Lee Woo-jin, played by Hyun-soo, has not changed one bit compared to when he filmed the first scene three months ago.

‘In short, he is persistently acting out the setting of a psychopath who has acted with only one goal since childhood… … Is that acting possible at that age?’

This is a subtle point that even ordinary actors would never notice.

‘But that subtlety… … teaches the details of acting.’

Knowing and applying these details in his acting is the reason why Kim Hee-woon was able to rise to become one of South Korea’s representative villain actors.

‘This guy… … will become a good actor in the future.’

Hee-woon smiled and spoke to Hyun-soo, who was making a puzzled face toward him.

“It’s nothing. We’ll refrain from saying anything that could affect each other’s acting until the filming is over.”

“Yes, I understand, senior! Please give me lots of guidance in the future!”

Hee-woon waved his hand and said in response to Hyun-soo’s spirited greeting.

“Haha, what about the map delivery? What can you learn from a perennial villain?”

Hyunsoo’s expression became strangely strange at Kim Heewoon’s humble words.

A strange impression that seems to be somewhere between ordinary and cold.

Seeing him with such an innocent and friendly demeanor, like the man next door, Hyunsoo couldn’t help but feel more nervous than usual.

It wasn’t just a feeling of tension because he was a senior actor and also one of the best villain actors in Korea.

‘I don’t think there’s that big of a gap between General Choi’s acting and what he did earlier… … .’

Well, there’s a strange difference that’s hard to pinpoint.

‘The first meeting scene just now… … It was only for a moment, but Lee Woo-jin was clearly overwhelmed.’

The past three months.

In the process of destroying the remnants of the Tongcheon Church that were active throughout South Korea and tracking down their strongholds, Lee Woo-jin’s character became stronger than ever.

‘With the completion of the 46th and 47th gods, Kim Young-cheol’s presence is more stable than ever.’

But the actor in front of me, Kim Hee-woon.

‘Huh? Aren’t you Woojin?’

With just one short line that bit into a ridiculous joke, Lee Woo-jin’s entire existence was shaken up.

General Choi’s genuine malice lurks amidst the joy of meeting again after a long time.

Seriously, it was literally some weird acting.

‘How on earth do you act like that?’

It’s different from when we were friends.

Ji Yu-han is a growing character who gradually grows as the play progresses.

On the other hand, Woojin Lee is a character whose emotions are fully developed from the beginning of the play.

‘As the play approaches its climax, the harmony between dreams and acting is at its highest ever.’

Still, it shook.

For the first time since he started dreaming, Hyunsoo felt overwhelmed by another actor’s acting.
