In an instant, the river that had gulped down Sunghwi returned to calm.
With a desperate face, she shouted to the mountain while looking down below the railing.
“Are you insane?!”
“You missed it.”
He nonchalantly replied while rolling up his sleeves.
Although Samyoung was startled and quickly looked down below the railing, there was no trace of Sunghwi.
“Oh, what should I do? H-helicopter! 119! 119!”
Hurriedly, he went back to the car to make the report, and only then did the mountain speak in a low voice.
“Don’t worry.”
“…”
“If it’s a Mongma, it won’t be hurt at all and will crawl out on its own.”
Gang’s mouth slightly opened.
He couldn’t believe that he had let go of Sunghwi just to confirm his identity.
“What does it matter if it’s a person!”
“People don’t die that easily.”
“What?”
“If they feel like they’re going to die, just pull them out before that happens.”
“Are you saying that now…!”
As excited as Gang was to retort, he was cut off by the cool expression of the man.
“To me, your safety is the most important.”
“…”
“For me, it was an additional thing if I could find out his identity.”
“…”
“There were enough suspicious corners, so I threw him; for now, just wait and see.”
Half of it was true, but that wasn’t everything.
It was true that it was a time to be more cautious about encounters with others, but tossing the guy who was shaking Gang’s life with his life as collateral was also part of it.
But then.
The calm waves suddenly rose, and Sunghwi emerged.
“Ugh!”
He didn’t scream for mercy, but repeated the process of sinking and resurfacing.
It seemed he couldn’t speak because of spitting out water.
“Samyoung Oppa!”
Seeing that, Gang urgently shouted toward the van, but Samyoung either seemed to be still on the phone or looking for a mobile phone and didn’t show up at all.
In her desperation, she grabbed Sam’s arm and shouted.
“Help! Quickly!”
“…”
“Before he dies, I promised to pull him out, right?”
At her words, he slowly turned his gaze to Gang.
“Please! If you leave him like that, he might really die!”
“…”
“You shouldn’t kill people either. Otherwise, everything will be in vain. So please… please, Mr. Mountain… Huh?”
Since he hadn’t directly killed a human to devour their soul, there was no problem.
Moreover, even if he was human, he was an insatiable guy who couldn’t die anyway, so whether he lived or died was none of his concern.
However, her desperate plea was not easy to watch.
Sunghwi continued to bob on the water’s surface, repeating the process of sinking and resurfacing, and at that moment, Samyoung appeared in the distance, shouting.
“Gang-ah! I reported it to 119…!”
And at the same time, San jumped into the water with his jacket still on.
“Ahh! San-ah!”
Startled, Samyoung hesitated once again.
Then, he quickly stood up, clung to the railing, and screamed.
“San-ah!”
Desperately calling out only his name, Samyoung couldn’t do this or that and nervously paced around.
While Gang knew that San had far superior physical abilities than humans, Samyoung must have been shocked.
Fortunately, San quickly surfaced, reassured Samyoung, shook his hand, and then approached Sunghwi.
Soon, embracing the limp Sunghwi from behind, he swiftly rescued him from the water.
Supporting the weakened Samyoung, who was about to collapse, Gang quickly held him up.
“…Ugh. Why is everyone acting like this to me? This is a water park, what… Why is everyone jumping into the water like water deer babies…”
He held his forehead and stuttered.
The situation was resolved before the rescue team arrived.
Sunghwi, who had come up after drinking a lot of water, was transported to the hospital with a fractured collarbone, but fortunately, there was no harm to his life.
At the entrance of the hospital, Gang quietly said to San, “If it’s a Mongma, he’ll come up without a scratch.”
“As if Mongma would have any trouble recovering, just watch.”
Even if he were a person, he had exchanged one death for a strand of hair, so it was a cheap deal.
In front of Sangang, who was more desperate to live than anyone else, he had staged a suicide show, so he deserved to receive this much.
San calmly averted his gaze from the swiftly departing Sunghwi.
In the VIP ward, there was only one private room.
After silently opening his eyes, Sunghwi, who had been lying there, called Chief Director Park Sunbin.
“Chief Sunbin.”
“Uh, uh! Sunghwi! Are you awake?”
Sunbin, who had been sitting with a face that seemed to have aged ten years in a day, quickly approached.
As Sunghwi tried to twist his body, he groaned as if feeling pain in his side.
“Ugh…”
“Don’t move. Your collarbone is fractured.”
Worried, Sunbin quickly held him down and looked down at Sunghwi with a concerned face.
He was perplexed about what to do and what to say.
Covering his face with his hands, Sunghwi, as if tired, asked, “Is Seokang Sunbae outside?”
“Seokang? Ah, yeah. Seeing you wake up, he said he’s going outside… What’s wrong, Sunghwi?”
“Can you call him for me?”
“Ah… sure, sure!”
